Avalanche caught CLOSE-UP by FPV drone - Long range mountain surfing in 4k

We were out for a day of long range mountain surfing in British Columbia on Vancouver Island with our long range drones (that we build ourselves), hoping to get some nice cinematic footage. There was a "severe avalanche warning" a couple of days prior, but things seemed to have calmed down. Just when were were getting ready to leave, I looked up and saw a huge avalanche coming down the mountain right in front of us! I scrambled to get a battery on my long range FPV drone, fumbled with my GoPro, and booked it out towards the mountain as fast as I possibly could. I got there just in time to see an absolutely scary amount of snow from an avalanche hitting the bottom of the mountain. What looks like water in this video is actually a huge amount of snow, with some chuncks as big as my truck.
Since I had the goggles on, I couldn't see what was goin on around me, and I was pretty paranoid about the avalanche coming down the mountain, through the valley and up the other side where we were sitting, all without me knowing. I was also worried that the road would get obliterated and we'd be stuck way out in the back country. Luckily, it wasn't even close.

[@MactacFPV]

@@jlt131 The sound is picked up by the GoPro on the drone, however all it picks up is the sound of the propellers (because it's about an inch away!). I have recordings of avalanches up close, and used those for the sound, added in post. I'm always afraid of crashing too! Especially when flying close to the ground - if you get a rock between you and the drone, it loses signal and you can easily lose the drone.

Timing is one thing but the way you fly upwards along the avalanche path was so cool. I was hoping you would fly downwards at one stage…. And you did! Great job really

[@Syclone0044]

@@oldmech619 3 years ago I scored on clearance at Target the original DJI Mavic Pro 4K drone and it’s little brother the DJI Spark, for $425 and $199 which was a steal. Both of them absolutely blew my mind, it is one of the best purchases of my life and one of few that truly “does everything they said it does”. It is completely mind blowing to fly 1-3 miles away completely out of sight and be watching a nice big HD video feed on my iPad, and be able to press 1 button and hands free these things will fly themselves home and land on their takeoff point with accuracy the size of a license plate. Exactly like a SpaceX rocket booster returning to its pad. And my drones are several generations old (not that they’ve had any major evolutions since then, just incrementally longer range, flying time, and video bitrate.) If you ever thought about getting one, do it! You don’t have to drop 2 Grand on the latest model. Tons of used kits out there. Also my biggest fear was always to crash and lose my investment. Well I can say now you have to be foolish/reckless to do that. These drones are Damn reliable as long as you follow the rules of flying responsibly and stop yourself from getting carried away taking risks.

BRAVO!!! New subscriber as of right now. I've never been compelled to comment on drone footage before... but this was just too damn impressive for me not to. I cannot speak to the technical aspects of what it took to film this - but I can tell you that the results are nothing short of stunning!

this is gorgeous. The low-flying bits were like skiing uphill.

Right time on a right place. Great catch, bro. 👍 It's fascinating to see this.
