  • This in one of the most challenging long range FPV flights I have ever done. Over 5km away lies a glacier with deep cracks and channels. I have found a route that takes my FPV drone deep into the glacial ice to capture video footage that would be far too dangerous to attempt in person. And that's only half of it, the flight out to the glacier and back is full of incredible footage that only an FPV drone could capture.
    I used a RAD Li-ion build for this flight.

    Insane!! Music, flying, location, everything! I'm sure it didn't feel very worth it while you were out flying but I can tell you that it definitely was, at least for us viewers. Loved how the flight progressed as a story, with it starting in the relatively safe but still beautiful forest and waterfalls, up to the stunning glaciers and peak, racing back down the steep rock faces, and finally back to the forest. Keep it up man!

  • @nikscherer
    @nikscherer Před rokem +1

    The fact that you flew so deep into the crevasses while being so far away blows my mind, some true balls of steel! I've flown at a glacier before, too, but didn't dare to fly into the crevasses as you did and I wasn't nearly as far away. But I was also not positioned well enough, the crevasses ran perpendicularly to where I was standing (if that makes sense) so I would have for sure lost signal if I had dipped down into them. Maybe I'll work up the courage next time lol. Thanks for sharing!

    • @FalconRadFPV
      @FalconRadFPV  Před rokem +1

      I actually didn't notice it while I was flying, I wish I had. Only in reviewing the HD footage later on. I think I was too intently focused on the path ahead and not really watching what was off to the side. It looked like a wide open gap though. The hard part is figuring out in your head when and for how long the snow will cut the video and how confident I'd be to possibly have to do the exit for it blind.
