All the Gear I Use for Long range and FPV Adventures

[@WarChest]

Beyond everything else, I really appreciate you showing us your Clearview, Crossfire, 2200mah lipo setup and mounting. Thanks so much for this. 👊🏻

[@showdownz]

at 3:52 a small puff of smoke comes from the radio when he says the word "flying" in the sentence "when i'm out flying for a radio" The smoke comes from what is typically the arm switch for most people.

[@bensphone206]

Hilarious that you gave a shout to your pants. I have two pairs of the Prana climbing/yoga knickers that are the 3/4 length version of those pants, and they're fricken amazing. Always comfortable, easy to clean, light weight, great pockets, and stupendously durable. Wouldn't travel with anything else. Highly recommended!

[@alchemicalanarchist]

You can setup fatsharks to automatically start recording DVR each time you power it up in the DVR menu. That way it will always save a recording and you dont have to start it up each time with the button.

[@captainpilou9204]

Hi Nurk, you said you are using a power distribution board to power both the Clearview and the Crossfire transmitter in parallel. What PDB are you using? I guess this is to ensure a constant voltage via BEC, right? As the Crossfire TX seems to only require 5V, I suppose you are powering it from the 5V BEC; do you confirm? What about the Clearview; 12V BEC? Thx for your confirmation Nurk!

[@johnluket1526]

PRANA PANTS ARE THE BOMB. I own 2 Bryon's and they are amazing.

[@MactacFPV]

Hey Paul, would you be able to show us a picture of how you've been attaching out insta360 to the quad? I see that in this vid you use the gopro housing, but in other videos it looks like you're using a different setup. I have an insta360 (because of you!) and I cannot seem to mount it well to my quad so the stitching works properly. thanks!

[@jonathanwalton4168]

Excellent video I am always curious what equipment that people are using, both for filming and for flying, and what is behind the camera. I also appreciate the pant reccomendation and the explanation of why you like them. I like that they roll up instead of zipping off. The shimmah reminds me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book series, there they state that the towel is the most important thing for a traveller to bring with them.

[@jpbatinic]

This is a huge help, as I suddenly got the long range bug a few weeks ago... All this is great info and well paced. Thank you for sharing!!

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

I want to build a long range drone next year. Prob 5" and see what setup get a long flight time

[@lithiumfpv9254]

Came for the setup, stayed for the clothes.

[@brickemdown]

It will take me 6 months to get all the long range related gears, your videos are inspiration Aye

[@ryanjennings8132]

Can I ask why you don't use 6 inch props? And do you reckon 6inch bi-blades would be fine on those motors with 6s?

[@slydby_fpv9458]

Been waiting to see your gear

[@pacificnorthwestpilots6050]

Thank you for passing on your long range fpv setup. I am new to flying and am very interested in building a long range drone to use on hikes and adventures in the PNW. I will use your links for the tbs micro deal and Frame. Thank you for sharing, and keep posting!

[@uniquewebshop7084]

Can you please give the exact name of the crocodile car clips cable? I am looking one to go into my charger which has a C7 plug

[@dividingbyzerofpv6748]

What is your "midrange"? 1/2 mile? Just hit 1.2 out and I have some room for improvement for range maybe with a better 12dbi directional and maybe getting better antenna placement on the drone. Have way better confidence in hitting tons of spots out to 1/2 mile now. Getting everything to be mobile and be able to put it in a pack is my next challenge.

[@HattashFpv]

Why does everyone say taranis x9d + wrong? NURK said 9xd taranis and for the qx7 mr Steele says q7x

[@burtpanzer]

Who knew, remote places like the outback can have huge problems with flies... nice solution.

[@ChrisM-yr5tt]

Holy crap that a lot of gear. You come ready for everything. Only thing you didn't have in there was a set of golf clubs. About how much does your pack weigh with all that gear? My friends who dont fly keep asking how much stuff do you have quads equipment etc cameras. I give the same answer each time. Never enough. I hate when I dont have replacement motors or needed equipment. I picked up a nice backpack at bangood which is good for most 1 quad big or small. What are the best packs you would recommend. Thanks for the video and your input.

[@marinehm]

No links to the clothing? I like the "Shemagh?". Keeps you cool as the water evaporates. Where did you get yours?

[@NURKFPV]

Oh I kinda figured people would fill in their own sorts of clothes or things they already had.

[@marinehm]

NURK FPV no worries. It was more of a joke. I like the ideas of different stuff to have on-hand. Thanks for sharing!

[@NitsudoFPV]

I typically watch Nurk videos to typically get some typical info about typical stuff. :) Good info in here thanks!

[@JohnCuppi]

Finally we can fly through and around trains too! :)

[@GOOD-ss1dq]

Can you name me the Vtx of highest power that have good antannas can be used in a night eagle 2 pro ( a night vision camera )?.

[@IamWedge]

WOW! Now that's a load of gear. How many people are with you when you go out and about. Its like you need 2 -3 people just to carry all your gear. Impressive.

[@tScruff]

Hey Nurk, what was the Arabian scarf called again, and may I ask where you got that. It looks great. Btw, this might sound odd, but listening to you describe the details of your profession is often way more valuable than watching your amazing flight videos. You are great on camera man, and engaging. Thanks!

[@NURKFPV]

Shemaugh and I got mine on Amazon. I looked for something that was made in Palestine

[@dynoman7]

I'm confused. Is "long-range" determined by how far you need to travel before doing a bunch of short 8min flights?

[@georgeaura]

Do you have to use fatsharks to use the external clear view system?

[@David__]

Thanks for sharing :) Looking forward to seeing more amazing footage from your trip too!

[@NURKFPV]

It's gonna be epic

[@SirCrashaLot]

rhino 3s 2720 fits inside taranis and has multiple power outputs, thats why I own 3 ;) super clean

[@RichardRaueiser]

so much love your releasing, you know.

[@NURKFPV]

haha it needs to be freeeee

[@Starkeyfpv]

Sweet!! Thanks! You should try a truerc long axxi on youre quad. Works great for long range.

[@NURKFPV]

Will do

[@smitty6290]

Do race drones have to be registered with the faa?

[@Kestrel_WhiveZ]

Hi ! Thanks for sharing all your bag ! I really like your easy transport groundstation... Or the Transmitter Station :) I'm just curious, what is the weight of it ? (Clearview + Transmitter + LiPo + antenna)

[@SakkiesYoutubization]

Is that green tpu mount stl avalible publicly?

[@rl2769]

Nice set up Nurk. Thanks sharing. 🙌

[@NURKFPV]

Any time!

[@toddspeck9415]

Think you need more antennae's Super cool seeing your setup! Your awesome Nurk!

[@crashbuilds]

Thanks for all the info, seems like a really tried and tested setup. In regards to the battery connected to your Clearview and Crossfire, do either of those devices notify you if the cells are running low? Or is it a case of it taking so long to drain that battery that you only have to charge it once a session?

[@ritviknesargi7958]

Hi Paul, love your radio setup withe clearview. Is it just strapped to the stand? No 3D printed parts?

[@BirdlessFlight]

I've had 2 of those HDs now and they both stopped reading the SD or being recognized by the PC, and I've never dropped them or anything :(

[@0dayStudio]

Thanks Nurk, do you carry-on your soldering iron on the plane? Heard mixed feedback from TSA.

[@NURKFPV]

For sure. Never had a problem. The only thing they would care about is that it's under 7". But it wouldn't hurt to check if you are checking a bag.

[@bhasselgren]

I think the use of "long range fpv" is a bit weird. I mean, "here is my long range fpv - it can fly for 8 minutes". Then we have other long range fpv that goes 10 000 km away (and back). What is long range? More than 100 meter?

[@NURKFPV]

I usually define long range as "further than I want to walk to get it" typically including over water or up mountains n

[@anthonyshort8957]

The Hobbywing ESC you have linked above says 2-5S on GetFPV ... you're successfully using it on 6S?

[@NURKFPV]

Yes. I say that in the video

[@vincefeldman7424]

Great video! It looks like you have esc looking boards on your arms as well? They can be seen clearly at 1:40 in the video. I'm pretty new to mini quads so any info is appreciated. Thanks!

[@javonbarnes1345]

Hello been a fan of yours for sometime now...just purchased the blade schimitar 7in quad for long range..I'm using the spektrum box goggles. Recently discovered that I could switch to 600mw for long range...switched out antennas for the pagoda 2s thinking I'd get more range.. NOPE! Can anyone recommend ANY antenna placement for LONG RANGE VIDEO RECEPTION!!! 😊 THANKS

[@billybbob18]

Foxeer makes pagotas very well. Get the long stem version. The triple feed patch (red one) is unbelievable. One mile away and crystal clear video on 800mw. I'm using the pro58 module which I uploaded the Achillez firmware on.

[@tchangov]

What is the Frequency for transmiting and Reveiving ? Thank you!

[@dividingbyzerofpv6748]

Your clothing stuff had me remembering your poison oak experience. With that in mind. Throw a basic 1st aid kit in your pack? I havent started long hikes to spots yet but have had two issues in short climbs up to spots to fly or reteieve a kwad. One was crashing about 5 feet from a rattle snake. The other was slipping down a hill with my right ankle winding up behind my back and almost touching my right ear. Given I am too stupid for my own good I probably need the 1st aid kit. Also seem to have been getting sunburned as hell this last summer any time I went to go fly.

[@pacificnorthwestpilots6050]

What type of gps do you use?

[@Tvpc1971]

Just wondering why you didnt go with a 2.4 ghz vtx for long range because 5.8 isnt for long range.

[@JowaMoto]

I'd like to get into this hobby is there a complete kit I can buy for someone who is interested in this new hobby.

[@NURKFPV]

Yes!

[@allennickles3970]

I know this is last years video...and i follow your vids when i can...so my question is... You prefer this set up with the clearview? Or is the Connex pro- site better FPV feed? I seen you use them both. And im trying to get an ideal which to buy in the future...your input would be greatly appreciated😀

[@Rafa-fn5to]

How long does the drone fly on this battery

[@olliea6052]

Awesome! You dont balance your props, do you? I didn't see any tape on them.

[@NURKFPV]

They are balanced out of the bag.

[@ZinkToucheATout]

Hi Nurk, What kind of condo do you use in your set up , And how many ? 1 per ESC ? TY

If not broke don't replace it.... I could of been great flyer but I constantly changed equipment and frames but asteox switch my favorite frame but not most durable

[@jkpisces]

whats the longest range with the tbs vtx on 500mw?

[@colinbourque1097]

So I have a problem with my drone I can't figure out.when in arm mode the motors are glitchy and the drone kinda bounces and twitches aggressively

[@NURKFPV]

Soft mounted fc? Does it do it when you just spin up the motors in betaflight?

[@colinbourque1097]

NURK FPV the motors are fine and smooth in beta flight with a little glitching rarely.soft mounted fc and the pdb is on the bottom and isn't soft mounted but i don't see how that could be the cause

[@superhirofpv260]

Thanks for awesome video, it was a great help! One question, for your Hero Sessions mount which degree angle do you typically use 37, 45 or the variable mount? Thanks

[@NURKFPV]

I choose between 25-35 for freestyle and definitely closer to 35 for racing.

[@--JohnDoe]

Thank you.

[@wawadowyur2515]

I have nerver seen s presentation that is very cool

[@vhockada]

The props orientation looks off but I’m not sure maybe someone can help me understand

[@NURKFPV]

You can have the props spin either direction

[@vhockada]

NURK FPV so basically what you did was make them orient inward towards the sides and not the traditional front and rear?

[@Kriswixx]

Thank you for this. amazing man. appreciate the humbleness and breakdown. cheers

[@mosxotelis]

How much will cost the long range drone ? i like your flying skill ;)

[@NURKFPV]

~$400

[@mosxotelis]

Cool ... and i think to fly-play more and with better camera can be the cost like 600 ?

I will obviously trim this down if I'm going for a super aggressive hike, but if I'm only going in a little ways or flying from the car I over pack

Merci NURK

[@jimmikatt]

I a beginner, and looking for long range setup, this looks like a lot of gear for only 8 minutes of fly time.

[@NURKFPV]

8 minutes of high performance flight time. If you want to fly for longer but don't want performance a DJI product will do great. But if you wanna rip down the face of a mountain at 80 mph then you need this. Also, this gear list is for adventuring too: as if you were going out for like 4 days without your desk at home.

[@jimmikatt]

Yeah, i'm looking more for video footage, not extreme flying. Do you think at some point, more drones will have the range, or use the same video transmission as the DJI stuff ?

[@HenryDarr]

Omg i love my shemagh i can't believe you run one as well 👍👍
