FPV Drones & Capturing Cinematic Footage in the Mountains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2024
- It was an exciting day flying FPV out in the mountains. From cinewhooping in a marsh to diving an epic sheer peak, there's lots of great footage. I'll also be talking about a new solution to charging all my FPV gear while out on the road and sharing what's on my mind during a flight by including some commentary as well.

Wow, that flight was amazing! The way you and your co-pilot worked together was truly something special. It's clear that there's a lot of trust and teamwork between you two, and it really showed in the smoothness and precision of those maneuvers. Keep up the great work, you make an incredible team!
Edit: I wish the monitoring screen will be there soon for the co-pilot, she deserves it, we all do
I know you said a screen is on the way for the co-pilot but poor her xD love how she still asked those questions. Great video, thank you
My spouse would laugh if I asked her to come on an adventure and fly with me! She supports me flying but has zero interest excepting the video sometimes. Which I like. I go flying partly to get away from people and questions! But more power to her for taking a keen interest in what is clearly a passion for Conrad. And you can tell they're sweet on each other. Flying and adventuring as a team. Cool. Maybe she's part of the reason he's so good at what he does. When things get tense, another brain can be good.
You are my spirit animal. I'm new to FPV but I don't get excited by racing or freestyle I'm just busily going through every video in your channel because this long range mountain climber stuff is right up my alley! Thank you for all the information you've put out!
Thanks, I appreciate that!
FlaconRad, another great video bud. Love your outdoor consistency level! Glad you're getting out to these amazing spots.
Check out vally fpv he's kinda the same. I like long range as well stuff but their needs to be narration with it, tips or advice or what your doing and mistakes as well.
cheers
that was pretty awesome to watch man! 🔥👍👍 thank you for sharing your adventures, and experience with us. Appreciated✌🤝
good stuff!
the last dive... OMG!
Love this man! Very helpful.... and spectacular footage! I want to be like FalconRad when I grow up!
You can do it! haha
OMG!! That cinewhoop flight #2 was amazing with the audio.. well the whole thing really, but those trees up close are delightful!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@FalconRadFPV I certainly did! Sight and sound candy!
Amazing and fantastic VLOG loved the TrIpPy pond reflection 🥹
Terrifying and amazing!!! So beautiful!!!
cool
Really amazing flying and footage, man! Crazy beautiful place!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too! 👋😉
Wonderful performance Dear CONRAD ;)
Wow nice
Thanks
Can you upload some raw dvr of you're dji flights? It would be interesting to see youre bitrate and connection to learn to better estimate how far I can push it in my own flights. You also could make a second channel where you only upload raw dvr.
Yeah I would like to see that also. I get sketched out when my bit rate drops below 50 to like 43 😂
very nice dude!! you inspire me, I should make videos like these. only no sick locations like there where I live :(
Brilliant footage thank you! 😎💥💪🙏
Thank you too!
Fantastic video Conrad. It's really cool to see behind the scenes from time to time. I also appreciate the footage with the Bee35. I am almost finished with my Bee35 build. I just need to procure and install the 03 Air Unit. I should have it in the air around May 1st. Thanks again for consistently interesting, informative, and entertaining content. Happy flying amigo 🫡 🍻.
Many thanks!
great video bro! i need a power station like that for camping this summer, but i also want a new vehicle soon!
Luar biasa..❤
NICE
Amazing! thank you for all your knowledge. Im just wondering since I love to get into longe range as well. What is your take on TBS cros fire Vs ELRS in long range and penetration?
Do the trueRC singularity antennas work better than the dji stock antenna for the 03 air unit? And are you using a ufl to sma pigtail or are the antennas ufl? And how many miles were these flights? What an epic few flights!! I just flew the farthest I've ever flown at .721 of a mile 😂 and my heart was thumpin! I can't even imagine flying some of the places you fly. But also I can't wait to surf some mountains.
Another epic long range flight sir, thanks for sharing. Might need to chat with you about some of them batteries you are use or building been wanting to go li ion with my FR 7 long range set up. Let me know thanks!
I'\m actually going to be putting out another li-ion pack building video soon.
@@FalconRadFPV Awesome can’t wait would love to learn more about building these cells!
From 16:07 ... Great scene ... Which James Bond movie is this, The mountain surfers keep flying? ¶ ; - )
I also want to get into real longrange fpv and want to buy a 7" or 8" drone. As Im not super comfortable with building, I will go with a bnf. I still have the dji v1 goggles and the best option I could find was the foxeer mega 7 and foxeer aura 8. I want to mainly use 6s2p 18650 packs and so wanted to ask you if I should go with the 7" or 8"?
Probably better with a 7" or 7.5". For an 8" you'll probably want to step up to 6s2p with 21700 cells.
ive been watching this shit all day it's blowing my mind all I do is tiny whoop around my house :0
i use same FC and ESC like yours, but i use f90 motor and for frame i use Indonesian local frame call Rajawali Fold 7", i usualy use 6S3P battery 9000Mah and 7800Mah
i like doing long range like you..😅
Gass Om, manjat gunung.❤
@@triicus9009 😅🙏🏽🙏🏽 shaaap.. rencana minggu depan mau gas manjat gunung lagi.. doain lancar Om 😅🙏🏽
Iya aku udah lihat video2 di chanel. Lanjutkan Om.
@@triicus9009 siap makasih Om supportnya 🙏🏽😅
Hey Falcon, 👋 I have both your rad-li ion and RPM. WOULD love to see a x8 or 10" with your design insight
haha, I've got an X8 all ready to go. I've been testing and flying and adjusting it for well over a year. I've got it flying really well. It's based on the falcon rpm frame and also has the extra gopro mounting spots, as well as a alternate top plate that I'm testing now for carrying a cinema quality camera. I'm hoping to finally release it fairly soon. I've done several 5km out long range flights with it. Long range octocopter/cinelifter coming soon!
@FalconRadFPV Oh boy, I can't wait. Your designs 😍 are well worth every penny. No rush, can't wait.
Great flight footage and information like always, thanks so much 👍👍.
Did you use full vtx power (2.5 W) on your last flight and how far was your target away ? I would guess around 2 miles …
Best greetings and stay healthy ✊✊
Unfortunately no one really knows how much power the 03 air unit puts out. But you get the most power running 40hz on channel 1
For the last flight, it was the geprc maten VTX. I was running it at 1600mW, and have it set to bump it up to 2.5w if I use gps rescue.
@@FalconRadFPV I didn't even notice you change goggles. Lol
@@FalconRadFPV ahh, thanks FalconRad, I remember 💡 you made a video about the vtx settings 👍. Your power station for on the go charging is smart 💪!
What is the highest elevation mountain youve flown? Assuming youve flown above 2+km of elevation above sea level, what degree of performance loss have you observed? How do you account for this in your flight planning?
hey i have an idea for you. You have the old V2 googles and probably a vista or whatever work with it. put it on the quad and let your partner with goggle V2 on watch as you fly. She would be onboard real time.
interesting idea, there's an analog and digital screen setup coming for her soon.
Wot wattage do you run the rc link on??
I love all these videos you do.
also may i please ask wot sound track did you use at 15:42 please as i love it
it was either explosive story or trash talk action by stevens/grenga Think I got it from the audio hero website. For my crossfire TX link I run it at 500mW usually. I've done the same flights with the older TX V1 at 250mW as well. In the middle of nowhere there is basically no interference so I don't need a lot of power on the TX signal.
@@FalconRadFPV Thank you so much for replying.
ill have a lookse for those as im doing a short add for a friend who does V8 trike tours and i may use some of that sound.
Thanks.
Hey FalconRad. A few weeks ago an eagle or a falcon attacked my 7 inch drone while i was descending a mountain. It attacked 4 times and non of these attacks actually damaged my props, neither the battery. In one of these attacks it actually yaw flipped the drone 180 degrees. Later when i returned i saw that one of the VTX antennas was almost completely unscrewed. Have you with your long range experience at any time been in the same situation? And if yes, how did you deal with it?
Thoughts on that new DJI powerstation?
It looks great but its a bit of overkill for charging drone gear, and it's about $1000
Nice 👍 which 12volt charger is that?
The power station is the AllPowers R600. It's in the description as well.
Thank you, no, I mean the small XT60 charger that you hold in your hand at 3.20 minutes.
Falcan fpv how do you get your videos so clean
its mostly about the antennas, using good ones makes all the difference.
What lipo / liion combinations are you using with the 7” (2806.5 1300)?
My prefered li-ion setup is 6s2p with p28a 18650 cells. It's about 640 grams over 5000mAh and is rated for 70 amps constant. For my quad with the big top plate I like using the GNB 7000mAh LiHV battery. It's got way more power than the li-ion setup, over 6000mAh useable capacity and only 700 grams.
I have nearly this exact same setup in terms of video, except I’m using 8 turn LHCP helical antennas for the bottom SMAs on my Goggles V2. Also using O3 air units with True RC Singularity antennas. With the FCC channels enabled and with *perfect* LOS, I got significantly less range than what you’re demonstrating. To the point that after the flight I swore I would sell all my Digital gear from my long range builds. This is on the Falcon RPM, with T Motor F90 motors, 7” props, and 2x 6S Molicel P28A packs. I would have sold the gear already but the Rush FPV analog stuff I buy is really hard to find right now. Any tips? I had to GPS rescue out and didn’t regain video link until pretty close range.
it's got to be the antennas or something to do with the goggle/air unit settings. You should get 3 or 4 km no problem at all, even with so/so antennas. I've heard that the goggles v2 do take a while to get video back when the link is fully lost. Double check the polarity for all the antennas is correct as well, the lhcp singularities are grey, the rhcp are red. Maybe a damaged ufl or sma connection? You could also try swapping out to different antennas in case one is bad.
Im looking to build the rad ion and I have some t motor 2208 1950kv motors laying around. Do you think they would work as a start(eventually to be upgraded) to save some money?
Yes, perfect for 4s, I guess ok for a 6s build too, you would just need a throttle limit set so that you only use maybe 75% of it.
@@FalconRadFPV thank you
And how you get it so stable
that's mostly due to adjusting your rates to what suits you and then getting a good feel for it. And of course it's run through gyroflow, but I try to use as little "smoothing" as possible.
hello. i have 7 inch dron
esc Diatone Mamba F50 PRO 50A,
motor: eco max 2306 kv1700
and i want new eco motors 2807 kv1700
can my esc work with this motors?
are you running it on 4s? It should be ok with 4s. If you're using 6s then the amp draw might get fairly high, you might need a throttle limit.
@@FalconRadFPV i flight on 4s lithium battery. thank you
