40km flight!! 😱 Parrot DISCO Unlimited Range! 4G LTE softmod.

Hi FPV friends 🙌🏻,
Im back with a new Disco FPV flight.
It took a while before I could make a flight with the disco again. The flight conditions in the Netherlands were not optimal in the past period. It was raining or the wind was just blowing too hard for my flight goals. During this flight I covered a total distance of 40km. I used 65% of the lion batteries for this. The next flight I will try to cover a distance of 70 km. Before I do this I will prepare this flight well. Stay tuned.
More to come with the DISCO. Please subscribe 👍🏻
Special thanks to the guys from uavpal to make this possible

I've been wanting to do this mod for a very long time and it is awesome!
Disco4G is a software modification (softmod) for the Parrot Disco drone. Instead of the built-in regular Wi-Fi, it allows to use a 4G/LTE cellular/mobile network connection to link Skycontroller 2 to the Disco. Control/telemetry and live video stream are routed through the 4G/LTE connection. In other words, range limit becomes your imagination! Ok, to be fair, it's still limited by the battery capacity 😜

Lovely video. I have a Disco and Parrot 2, both with the 4G mod. I think the biggest limitation now is that the onboard camera is not fantastic by 2024 standards. I think either a modern 4k small/light 360 cam or action cam would be interesting to try. I'm based in the UK, and flying beyond VLOS is not allowed, I guess that's true in most of continental Europe too. However, given the disco is light, and mostly foam I don't think it's dangerous as long as you don't fly directly over people, I wish there was a way to do this kind of flight in the countryside legally beyond VLOS, but it's a niche hobby. I think it's incredible that a hobby drone can get than kind of fpv range, with only minor modifications. In some ways Parrot was ahead of its time.

Hello from Bucharest Romania 🇹🇩

@@InfrastructuraRomania hi back. Happy new year

[@TheToFu]

Thanks for the vid!

[@DutchFPVguy]

@@TheToFu no thank brother

[@Edward55221]

@@DutchFPVguy Starlink is coming out with direct to cell soon. Imagine putting some solar cells on that and having it connected to starlink. You could basically fly into remote areas without 4g and then just wait for things to charge up before you fly further.

[@DutchFPVguy]

@Edward55221 that would be amazing 🤯

[@Johnny-tc6tz]

Great Video , Love the terrian, beutiful country . Can you let me know what antennas you are using, I have some but they are heavy, Those seem to be slender and lighter . I subscribed and hope to see more videos , Great job

[@DutchFPVguy]

Hi brother, thanks for subscrib 🙌. Try this link for the antennas. Hope it will work. www.alibaba.com/showroom/external-antenna-for-huawei-e3372.html

[@paolostarda3843]

Great Flight! Did you change a flight parmeter (radius, angle, etc…) because of the higher weight?

[@DutchFPVguy]

@@paolostarda3843 no, just the parameters for the lion batteries.

[@bmudskipper]

Hello there 👋 I'm looking into re-creating this project in July 2024 and I'm curious before I buy the needed stuff, can this mod still be done? (Assuming I get gray joysticks)?? Thank you for helping the community with these videos. Also where is a good place to find this plane in the USA? Cheers ✌️

[@nialldaly7108]

Great video, but why so low over the motorway and just above power lines, Another 100feet (32M) and all would be safe and still have same great view. I first saw this mod by Dustin Dunhill in Hawaii. I still have the bebop2 which can also run with this mod, though the battery is more effecient on the disco, Same camera and controller. Camera at 1080P is still not so shabby.

[@cristianmellado2502]

Wow is amazing

[@silentbob3999]

beautiful piece of earth! Are you allowed to just fly across the country?😅

[@wingzofsteel]

Disco is still relevant. I wish I had one,

[@DutchFPVguy]

@@wingzofsteel check ebay

[@flyinguncle5251]

Hello? I saw your video by chance. I have a disco, too. But I failed to fly in LTE mode. Can you tell me how to set up LTE mode in detail? I searched on the Internet and they are too old. I saw the method and followed it, but it failed.

[@chyrt]

Hoe ziet de live video feed er uit?

[@DutchFPVguy]

@@chyrt de live feedback is 720p. Dit in mijn geval via een ipad mini die gekoppeld is aan de zender

[@chyrt]

@@DutchFPVguy dat klinkt wel goed ja. Misschien toch maar zoiets zelf bouwen... Lijkt me machtig om zo ver weg rond te vliegen als jij dat doet! Weet je toevallig tot hoe hoog je in Nederland kan vliegen zonder buiten 4G bereik te komen?

[@DutchFPVguy]

@chyrt Het verticale bereik van een 4G-zendmast, oftewel hoe hoog het signaal effectief reikt, is beperkter dan het horizontale bereik en wordt bepaald door de openingshoek van de antenne. Over het algemeen geldt: Verticale openingshoek: De meeste 4G-antennes zijn gericht naar de grond en hebben een openingshoek van ongeveer 5° tot 10°. Hierdoor wordt het signaal vooral horizontaal verspreid en minder omhoog gericht. Effectief bereik in hoogte: Het bereik in de hoogte is gemiddeld 100 tot 300 meter boven de zendmast, afhankelijk van het zendvermogen en de configuratie.

[@chyrt]

@@DutchFPVguy wow, enorm bedankt. Ik had niet zo'n mooi onderbouwd en compact antwoord verwacht :)

[@DutchFPVguy]

@chyrt geen dank!

[@JonasEgerland]

Wich app i need? I have android 14 and cant still run the Freeflight pro app....i can only use the freeflight 6 USA version, it still run with disco?

[@DutchFPVguy]

@@JonasEgerland hi there, i have a ipad mini and use the freeflight pro version. You can download it on the website of parrot. Just google it

[@kotnapromke]

I like flight 4g!

[@DutchFPVguy]

Me tooo😊

[@mukokoofabrice880]

besoin de vos coordonnées svp, je voudrais bien appendre à concevoir les drones

[@GencKimyasal]

I don't have a disco parrot but can I still develop a drone myself and make a 4G mod?

[@wyliemick]

What is the average data usage on a flight like this ? (how many GB used on the 4G network?)

[@DutchFPVguy]

A flight like this, about 2GB data

[@masteroffreedom]

Could you explain to me how to set up the dual litium ion batteries and how set up the 4G mod? I’ve got all of the staff and my disco but I always fly normal because I’ve never knew how to set it up
