Some of those birds came a little close but unreal flight…Iceland looks amazing…!

[@batosay28]

Amazing Flights! Nice View!

[@billkipper3264]

Amazing. I just bought a Mini 4 Pro as my first drone and have a total of two flights to my credit. Videos like this are a true inspiration to hammer at it and gain the skills I need to do the things I want to do. Thanks.

[@5280fpv]

Amazing! Can't wait until mine shows up on monday. Very nice footage

[@kevinsdroneadventures6242]

Great video Danny. Those mountains are amazing.

[@Miura36328]

Flying FPV looks intimidating, but you inspire me with these great videos. Keep up the awesome work!

[@mavicwastaken]

This video was unreal.... More please!

[@fritzstudios8571]

Loved it thanks

[@adampodolak3004]

Wow! Thank you! I really enjoyed this video.

[@mariodiaz777]

Amazing shot! You are a good pilot.

[@AerialWaviator]

Epic one-take flights!!

[@qeclipse]

these videos are amazing, they inspired me to start fpv flying. keep it up!

[@MindRiderFPV]

Wow man, amazing shots and ovation. Great edit.

[@WillyFoxx]

Niiice flight Danny! And it looks like this drone is 😍😍 thinking about getting one maybe🎉

[@Levon0083]

Awesome!!👏

[@ener7443]

amazing view

[@TRITONFPV]

Iceland is so beautiful. Had a few friends just get back and they loved it. Thanks for the ride along 👊🏻

[@Mcgeee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Schutte2016]

Wild! 🔥

[@dennismien29]

Love these flights, fantastic locations, a guy called bobesh oz produced some great flights a few years ago, keep them coming.

[@bbkintanar]

SO BEAUTIFUL! And how beautiful are those sun rays poking through the clouds?? Those birds were making me nervous though 🤣 Iceland is at the top of my list! I recently bought and am currently learning FPV to do things like this.

[@ghettorecording2925]

oldguyFPV; Beautiful spot. Thanks! Fly safe, fly free!

[@TechLinhi]

amazing flight, that ridgeline is super cool ! and soo many birds :D

[@ELEV8TEDESCAPES]

Yea flying drones definitely makes you appreciate this world's beauty.

[@DESTINYFPV]

Very nice my friend mountain surfing rules!

[@arazonafpv]

absoluty beutiful

[@yokfpv]

So freaking nice!

[@ronan974]

superbe images ,merci pour le partage .

[@NorthEastFPV]

Fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@aaronlane7935]

This was an epic video! Well done bro!

[@Mcgeee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@HenkBartl]

The flight time is Insane! I waited for this!

[@Mcgeee]

So nuts. You can get like 30 minutes with 8000 MAh Liions

[@Jonners]

Flown my chimera 7 a lot there, it’s Eystrahorn for those wanting to know, part of the Krossanesfjall mountains, 10 minute drive further east of the the famous Vestrahorn mountains. It’s always full of birds like this, also always very windy.

[@transylvanianvistas]

Great drone footage and amazing views. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍 Subbed and Liked. 👍👍👍

[@Siamect]

No beauty in the world justify cold weather 😝... Well done 👍

[@MircoBonfiglio]

MASTER PIECE!

[@micsherwood4930]

excellent! I love the way mine handles. what was the final distance out to the turnaround point?

[@JonysTravels]

Wooow! so intersting too!

[@antivar]

Hello. Great videos and flies. How do you know the high between the es drone and the en mountain? Look so close some times.

[@EugeneBurmaka]

Hi, I have Chimera7 Pro V2. Does it make sense to upgrade or wait for O4 air unit?

[@maurogutierrez]

Hello, great, sorry, what control did you use in this video?,,,,, we see that it works very well with the Helion!!! 👍👍

[@skylinedroneservices]

Great footage mate. Would love to see that range stretched though

[@Specializedfabu]

Few seconds and i give a Like !

[@sievc]

Great job, you were right next to my farm

[@MikeCuthbertson-oy6jw]

Great flights, what was the height of the top?

[@8todd8]

you should come to costa rica !!!!

[@maxfpvaustria9433]

Awesome footage 😀👌👌👌, in your previous video you said you got a lot of jello, was it just because you mounted the battery too far forward or did you also change the PID tune to get rid of it ?

[@YTFPV]

Nice location

[@woutvanwetswinkel]

What crossfire settings do you use? Dynamic or fixed output power?

[@MrEddieNunez]

Interested in a Helion, but I’ve been seeing tons of issues online on the iFlight FB group.

[@Reeegon]

would be nice to see the gopro settings

[@i3FPV]

The Helion looks to be the king of long range. I am getting one. Awesome vid, beautiful location, nice flying. Subbed.

[@Mcgeee]

Hell yeah! If you use the link in the description it would mean a ton 🤘🏽

[@christianmonghansen1671]

just ordered mine today :-)

[@i3FPV]

@@Mcgeee I'm almost ready to order, and I will be sure to use your affilate link.

[@CRAGLORD]

dont do it. drone has a ton of problems

[@i3FPV]

@@CRAGLORD really? can you give me an example pls?

[@dieterfrancois4863]

I would like to buy a drone to make cinematic videos, but I'm torn between 2 drones: the NAZGUL EVOQUE F5D HD V2 6S or the Helion 10 O3 6S HD. What would you recommend since you own both of them?

[@StasysFPV]

10” wow looks big. But any wind for him is doesn’t matter? Great flight.

[@christianmong-hansen1835]

10 inch is the way to go in heavy winds

[@senfterjulian684]

do you fly with erls or with crossfire?

[@tecmission]

Next time try to fly your drone in Norway 😎 This country is also amazing for long range fpv 😉

[@MPQuads237]

Man, it must have been so windy up there. Especialy on the way back the stabilization is not really coping with it. The view of course is awsome. Enjoyed. 👍

[@Mcgeee]

Yeah in my OSD it was so much gnarlier haha

[@ThatFlyinRyan]

Back to Iceland yooo ?

[@christurner95ct]

The helion on is definitely next on my list, incredible footage mate, what controller are you using out of curiosity? I still have the DJI controller 2, would it be worth upgrading if I get the helion?

[@Bollibompa]

The dangerous thing is that if the video link drops, the FPV controller drops for 2-5 seconds since it piggybacks on the video frequency. You therefore need some kind of failsafe to automatically trigger at RC lockout. Either RTH or hover, depending on location.

[@droneadventures8040]

Hi, nice video, the name of this place?

[@JimKilgo]

Freaking awesome! 🔥🔥🔥 We will be in Iceland in February!

[@Mcgeee]

Have a blast!

[@FrankFPV]

you look like the guy that got 2nd in squidgame, love ur vids mate

[@flyingwithtofu]

There's jello in the footage, seem like the frame or the GP mount wasn't stiff enough?

[@pilotVQNXZ]

Those birds be like Toruk Makto is flying 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TomHerriman]

You can only get 2KM out of that thing?

[@dronic_fpv]

Hey man! Is this the maximum flight time? At what voltage did you land? And what about the batteries on the plane? How many batteries did you travelled with? Thanks!

[@Mcgeee]

Hey man! You can check my channel for a recent video I made on how I travel. But with my 5200 batteries I got about 10 minutes. With 8000mah liions you can get 30 minutes

[@austinjwolf]

Sick vid! Travel logistics question (because i want to go to Iceland too!), how do you get away with traveling with a 115Ah lipo on an airplane? I’ve always kept it under 100Ah because i don’t want my lipos to get taken away by TSA.

[@Mcgeee]

I fly with up to 5200mah and have had no problems

[@LifeofAccro]

its more about watt hours vs ah... and its more about the airlines and not TSA... if you google it it says "airline allow...." 2 batteries up to 160wh TBD by which ones...a 5200ah 6s = 112wh... and anything under 100wh seems to fair game ;) and its not like the airlines check you baggage cuz thats TSAs job but not like their job is verify/enforce airline compliance?

[@juupafilms]

Hi Mcgee, I have a question did they accept to travel with big lipo in the plane ?

[@awesomesauce1214]

*hits bird*

[@user-zo7ue8jz3r]

Коасивый полет. Очень приятно смотреть. В идеале лучше выпустить 2 видео, первое музыка и полет без комментариев и данных о полете. Второе с комментариями и техническими данными.

[@h-dawg969]

Is it with Crossfire? & is it stock antennas on your goggles? What did u say the range was at its furthest? 1.2 kilometres? Such a sick line man. I really want to go to Iceland at some point. You have any tips for travelling with lipos, and drone / camera gear in general but particularly lipos.

[@Mcgeee]

It has crossfire diversity and yep stock on the goggles. Furthest out I got with the Helion was 2.5 km so far

[@Mcgeee]

Just made a video about that if you check my channel 🤘🏽

[@h-dawg969]

@@Mcgeee I’ll check it out now. That thing looks like such a beast man. I’m a couple months in on my first proper quad. Went for the Bob57 03. Flown Avata & normal camera drones for couple years but yeah this Bob is a whole different level. I love this long range flowy cinematic stuff like this vid you posted. That Helion looks like such a beast.

[@mlentsch]

If I was a bird, I hang out up there, too.

[@IslaVision3]

👏👏👏🤘😘

[@AlexVideographie]

Is there any other possibility to land it safe without scratching / damaging Lipo??? So stupid in this construction to put Lipo on the bottom.... ((((

[@zhanyiduo]

Quick question, do you always take off your goggles when landing the quad? How did you manage to quickly shift from first person view to 3rd person view?

[@Mcgeee]

I flip it into angle mode so it's easy to control

[@zhanyiduo]

@@Mcgeee thanks for the tip. But I find it hard to quickly spot my quad when taking off the goggle. How far away did you stabilize your quad when taking off your goggle?

[@Mcgeee]

@@zhanyiduo 10 feet away or so

[@Rixynator]

Lots of jello in the footage

[@Mcgeee]

Yeah it was incredibly windy and I believe my GoPro wasn't tightened in as much as it should be

[@MrCaptainnemo]

Beware of cliff surfing birds. The Helion is big enough for them to pay attention as you come near but it does happen

[@wavesummit]

where do you stay when you're in Iceland? How easy is it to bring a drone in?

[@Mcgeee]

Just hotels usually. They're cheap this time of year. And super easy

[@wavesummit]

@@Mcgeee Thanks, it's on my list of places to fly, we have lots of places here in Vancouver Island but lots of it is gated

[@moriwaky]

you need to change propellers there are a lot of jello in the video

[@Henkky]

I was thinking is the GoPro flipping out or what is wrong in the video but it must be this!

[@rominicmaclan20]

Are you using betaflight or inav?

[@Mcgeee]

betaflight

[@christianmong-hansen1835]

at 3:46 , a bird was like 1 meter from the drone ! lol

[@bwasfpv]

saw some wabbles,,what was that.?

[@Mcgeee]

It was super windy up there so that contributed

[@JohnIn2SonAZ]

I am really surprised there is a bunch of jello in this footage.

[@Mcgeee]

It was suuuper windy. It was way worse in my goggles

[@cstfpv]

@@Mcgeeethis is not generated by the wind…

[@olivierhacking]

How does it fly compared to a 4"? Looking into getting back into FPV after years away...

[@hassanabbasi4795]

Which Rc were you using?

[@Mcgeee]

Tango 2

[@hassanabbasi4795]

How did you link up that rc to the air o3 unit, I thought they were not compatible.@@Mcgeee

[@Mcgeee]

The goggle feed is DJI O3 - but the RC is Crossfire. Seperate modules installed on the drone @@hassanabbasi4795

[@maurogutierrez]

Hello, great, I don't speak English, I will use a translator. I would like to know if this drone has a better video signal with the DJI Google 2? Since it has longer antennas and they are in a different place, I have a Nazgul Evoque f5 V2 with O3 with dji fpv controller 2 and dji Goggle 2 and the video signal is not very good with these glasses, thank you!!! 👍

[@Mcgeee]

You should have great connection with that. Have you crashed the quad? Sometimes the antennas can become damaged

[@LifeofAccro]

if i recall right if you use the dji controller AND goggles the share the same bandwidth and data feed to send video and rc link... if you switch to an differenet rx/tx protocol like elrs, crossfire etc, you should see a better video feed overall. i use elrs and only have v2 goggles and usually have a solid connection 2miles out easy..

[@maurogutierrez]

@@Mcgeee it has not received hits, the signal is not bad, but the doubt is if with the Helion is even better video signal with the goggles 2? ,,,,, and I suppose that with those longer antennas and in a different place it should be better since it is made for long range, right?

[@maurogutierrez]

@@LifeofAccro I don't know what you're saying, but I guess something will improve with the Helion antennas, do you think?

[@maurogutierrez]

@@LifeofAccro although the control signal is normally excellent, it is the video signal that fails a little bit.

[@seb-depp]

Quite a bit of jello. Otherwise really lovely.

[@Valentine-cn6ii]

Where are the goggles from?

[@Nypher91]

Dji google v3 or v2

[@jupitereye4322]

Damn it, why don't you put specs for the camera? We know which drone is flying but what about the camera?

[@TheAntohapan]

Strange, but i see a lot of jelo 3:45 🤔

[@pshepfpv]

Yo, that guy at 4:39 is kinda sus 😳

[@Mcgeee]

What's he doing? 😳

[@whereverimayroam74]

Nice video but the picture in picture of the Iceland flight doesn't add anything. Takes away if anything. You are just standing there.

[@cstfpv]

Decent line but way too much jello man… that was definitely NOT the wind, maybe shutter too high on gopro or bad props or poor tuning😕

[@CRAGLORD]

Amazing location and flight. But that jello.....I guess its a little reassuring that even the big names in FPV still get jello. Im really frustrated with the helion, it has horrible jello issues. Don't recommend.

[@GlobalSourcing]

Would be better without your narration the entire time

[@risinghighmedia]

Why have you quad powered on while talking to camera? Fkn iflight drones suck

[@Jeremy-yi9rg]

Nice footage but a bit ruined by putting yourself in the actual flight video🙄

[@risinghighmedia]

Agreed. Would have been better with video and matching track and maybe some added sfx but no we have to listen to him 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@fosmonaut3554]

Wtf you guys talking about. I’m sure he will release a footage later with music and stuff but I’m enjoying the format here

[@floydkennedy9599]

I disagree with the first two comments, I think it's cool to watch his hand movements on the controller during the flight!🤓🇬🇧

[@paradontaz-loltftlorwr8301]

It was necessary to cover up the sky like blue chrome key

[@samdish]

Wait, whose channel is this ?! He can do as he wishes. Keep on mate ! 👍

[@billwillson5361]

Hiw much roughly is that setup? I really like that

[@SirasPK]

this video is about yourself and not about drone flying. narcissist who loves the attention innit?
