EPIC! Do or Die Long Range FPV

[@BOTGRINDER]

holy crap haha that was crazy

[@FalconRadFPV]

ya, I was freaking out for a sec there.

[@juhaszjanos7770]

Powerloop pleas for the next time😜

[@offaxisfpv]

GREAT FLIGHT and glad to be there in person to fly with you!! you are very inspiring

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks for being there buddy!

[@sarahdaviscc]

This is so wholesome. What a great advertisement for the hobby.

[@lambo_drives]

The Madonna Goggles pull through. That was amazing (and lucky) :-)

[@kingjam6433]

It's amazing how pumped you can get from long range, I only go half the distance and still have the same reaction, especially in a new spot. I find it just as exciting as hitting a small gap close when attempting to freestyle or power looping through some trees . Loved the ice cave by the way, go for it or go home!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Well said! Thank for the comment.

[@jeffparisse4202]

Aw man…. I know the feeling! I’m in Hawaii right now skimming the ocean and lava rocks! I’m so happy you’re sharing these videos as few know the agony of defeat and the rush of success! This is my favorite YT channel by far!

[@FalconRadFPV]

thanks so much for the comment!

[@Michelsen3K]

Wow this is so beatiful. That's why we love long range flight. The glacier is just so awesome. Nice flying!

[@sarahdaviscc]

I love that you pulled off the ice bridge flying blind! Epic! I also love that you respected the mountain goats and didn't want to bother them. You're a great ambassador for the hobby.

[@PavelMy]

6:22 Ahhh, it was very dangerous! a couple of times I also decided on similar, although no, it doesn't look like tricks, (I'm far from such), but I also lost touch for a second, knowing that I would come up later. And, it gives a ton of stress and pleasure!

[@skyrotfpv]

Truly an epic flight! I've almost wet my pants watching you flying through that ice bridge. Sweet that you could see the mountain goats and still kept your distance. Thanks for sharing this amazing video! 🔥🙌🔥

[@kingjames1861]

Yes, love it. I would have done the same. Glad you didn't lose that quad. We would have not been able to see this great flight. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheParadigmShiftTV]

Wow!! Epic flight for sure. Love the goat sound FX too

[@aaronak2005]

Absolutely stunning scenery and amazing flying bud! I was on the edge of my seat in that ice bridge. Just got into drones. Now I'm definitely getting a long range fpv! Cheers from a neighbor to your west!

[@CDRaff]

That was super cool how the bigger goat was trying to shield the smaller one from view. Also want to mention again that your spot is absolutely breathtaking and your flights highlight how beautiful it is. They should use your shots in tourism videos.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much for the comment!

[@squaddingquads]

This was INCREDIBLE

[@frankensteinfpv]

What an epic flight that was! Holy crap i thought you were losing that quad under that ice bridge!!! Great save and another amazing flight man! Absolutely stunning!!!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks 👍

[@onkelbiff3050]

Wow, nice save dude! :D I love your flights man

[@src2920]

This is the best of the best of the best😂 I just cannot imagine what was going through you during those micro seconds. Blue skies my friend 🎉

[@PavelMy]

what you are doing is inspiring. In part, your long-distance flights pushed me to take up long-distance flights. So far, my longest flight is 1.5-2 km, but I want to go even further.

[@fpv_jesus]

This is so beautiful. Sweet vid, nice flying and insane recovery lol

[@TheVeganarchism]

I feel like these long flights should include a buddy rescue quad just in case 😂

[@shadofpv]

I love this! 🙌🤮 mate i literally jumped up out my seat when you went under the ice bridge at the top 😱 gotta love analogue though how its so predictable like you knew the feed was gunna go :) top work man 👌👌🤙

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks very much for the comment!

[@videoformer]

Great flight old friend!

[@eallend]

Incredible seeing mountain goats! Not sure where you are but they’re amazing creatures. And BIG props to you for hanging out just long enough to get a good shot and then leaving them be. Love it!!

[@eallend]

As an addition, the scene coming out of almost losing your drone was amazing! I know it was intense and hectic but wow I could have looked at that a while

[@xORLOCKx]

That was awesome! The definition of full commitment!

[@ghostdropfpv]

this is crazy ! heart stopped when you lost video ! what a save !

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks!

[@DroneDocs]

Epic flight Falcon!

[@stefan_fpv]

This is just awesome! Really good job on everything! Congratz!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks very much!

[@johncarold]

Fantastic, I just wanted to fly half as far. I don't even have any lion yet. That's a great looking mountain to fly. I have been wanting to fly, Mont Lassen, Mtn Shasta in CA. Great FRAKEN dive. Thanks for the video.

[@liberumaerem]

@FalconRad, fantastic! I was at the edge of my seat through the ice bridge!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much!

[@baggszilla]

Awww MAN!!! Your long range videos are AMAZING! The size of your nuts to push that far must hurt when you walk! Cheers buddy!

[@ValleyFPV]

That is such a great spot..a perfect straight up line of sight.

[@MrSmithFPV]

Was worth watching the whole 12mins to seee your face at the end! For sure a epic flight! :)

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much for the comment.

[@goldbornmusic2025]

Beautiful smooth flight my friend! Awesome!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks a lot!

[@InfinityDrones]

Awesome flight man! Balls of steele!

[@dgsean9775]

Legendary!

[@Nickydeemuss111]

Dude you made it on the JB and Blunty news!! well done your flying and drone build are amazing!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Oh ya, just saw that! Thanks for the comment.

[@BrandonBeans]

WOW, that was seat clenching... I think I ripped the seat from gripping it so hard! Crazy flying there 🐐🐐🐐

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thank so much Brandon!

[@piotrmalinowski6054]

Bro that's was nuts! Amazing

[@ReileyU]

Bravo man! Inspires the hell out of me. Gotta love seeing those mountain goats.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks for the comment!

[@fatheramo1]

Absolutely sick flight. Long range stuff has been something I have wanted to do for a while and seeing stuff like this makes me so much more pumped to go out this summer and do some flying

[@FalconRadFPV]

Glad to hear it.

[@DroneBeerDelivery]

That was SICK!

[@oswaldgrimmelsworth9774]

Loved this video, would kill to fly this location.

[@duderguy1571]

Great video feed waaay up there! Cept that one spot😬 nice save!

[@CaptCalgary]

Great rip!!! Thanks for the ride!!!! WOW!!

[@SummitWizardFPV]

Pretty badass. Gotta love the risk

[@peakfpvmedia]

You are criminally good at long-range FPV... Loved these latest ones!

[@deice3]

That flight was the goat!

[@oneistar6661]

Epic dive! Epic rescue! GG Man

[@korbendallas9317]

Epic flight man! It's great to see you pushing like this

[@billadams8795]

Very cool video. Looks like a cool place to explore.

[@AbdulAleemShekhani]

That was more than just a LITTLE bit riled up brother, EPIC flight! Great recovery of nerves to continue the flight.

[@kelvinlau9623]

Awesome mountain climbing flight. As I can watch this video I know u will be okie. I subscribed. Pls do more long range. Thank you.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks, will do!

[@MSBWilson]

Loved it! Know the feelings well. Been a while since I've had the quads and long range wing out - too much other aviating in the mean time :-)

[@andreamora321]

You're the Best Maaannn 🚀

[@stephantual]

Ye & Ty at 2:44 was pretty nice. I need to sleep.

[@MactacFPV]

Hahaha that got my palms almost as sweaty as if I were flying it myself. Nice job :)

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much buddy!

[@deltakhana]

Nice flight got my AOS 7 Falcon coming in the mail gonna put an 03 on it

[@FalconRadFPV]

Sweet, hope your build goes well!

[@deltakhana]

@@FalconRadFPV thank you I’m wanting to use the iFlight fullsend 6s 8000mah battery for that build do you think it could fit on the aos falcon 7?

[@Humboldt710]

Epic flight man!

[@skysailorfpv]

Awesome and beautiful nature flight thank you for sharing

[@Wind_Rapport]

that's why he's called rad folks

[@xidoqal3456]

It's like watching a thriller 😮 where is this piece of heaven?

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thank you! The west coast of canada.

[@danzillatheterrible]

Oh man this is amazing! You are brave!

[@adventure_boy]

This video was so awesome, waw, simply waw! Amazing!

[@IDriveAnAudi]

This was an awesome video! I'm really enjoying your videos and becoming inspired to keep flying and trying different things. I just recently built and AOS UL7 and am working on understanding it's limitations. I've got a couple upgrade energy Li-ion batteries on the way now. What a great shot through the ice bridge! I was internally saying, "come on man, throttle up!". Great flying and excellent viewing!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much for the comment!

[@flipsterfpv]

That was crazy epic

[@Indian.badger]

I just subscribed I am from India and really like these long range fpv drone videos of yours and also when you keep talking and explaining while flying drone meanwhile.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks for the sub, and the input. I do plan on making more videos like that.

[@inakidb]

Amazing flight. congratulations!!

[@TheMadmacs]

wow, that was an epic adventure, the falls were just wonderful, the mountain goats were pure hollywood, and the ice bridge......lets face it they were a sanitation hazard hehehe. brilliant stuff, you got the shots under severe pressure.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much for the comment!

[@oliver51450]

Epic flight!! Awesome 😎😎

[@krzysztofk518]

I love your episodes!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thank you!

[@undeze]

Pushing it a wee bit there. Awesome flight

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much!

[@AsgardStudios]

Great flight!

[@poxzen]

Grady brought me here, you are a bosssssss!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Such a beautiful spot!

[@jojo42069]

Congrats on the flight!! Exciting stuff

[@FalconRadFPV]

Much appreciated.

[@planesandbikes7353]

This channel is the most inspirational FPV channel out there, for me. I'm in BC too but haven't set aside the time and effort to do such adventures. But you give me hope! So whaddya think of going to Walksnail for such distances and proximity?

[@FalconRadFPV]

I'm wary of the video reset time when the signal is lost. It takes a while.

[@sakola4]

nice flyin' FalconRad

[@stickboyfpv4742]

Awesone! But at 8:34 I believe that was just due to the patch not pointing at your rig as you adjusted🤔

[@FalconRadFPV]

when I adjust they don't go out of the range of the helical antennas. You can see the video goes fuzzy right as I level out the quad to take my hands off the sticks and it gets better as soon as I pitch forward to begin flying again. Having a big long range battery in front of your VTX antenna will affect you video if you are out at range. If you are close by it won't make any difference.

[@FpvLongRangeHobby]

Great video! Seeing your footage here and I would like to buy my own cinematic fpv drone!

[@dadabooey]

These are so fun to watch ... the thrill is real!

[@hirnlegorush]

awesome location and flight dude xD you should also get a wing - this is the perfect spot :)

[@FalconRadFPV]

I've been thinking about getting a wing...

[@gokuhs]

Wow! You are crazy! Great video ❤

[@0gravitydroneservices]

You are maddddd!! Hats off!

[@neilfpv]

WOW! That was scary! Amazing! I did my first mountain surfing last week in Nevada. The video will be available in KZbin in 5 hours since it's still processing it. Thank you for all the help!

[@FalconRadFPV]

oh amazing your first mountain flights, nice!

[@MatMarguet]

beautiful flight full of emotion. keep on going.👍

[@THERCSTIG-zn9to]

Not bad, great videos, keep em coming 👍👍

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks 👍

[@Nastee_FPV]

Crazy flight!!!

[@Kenajcrap]

what are the directional antennas that you are using to receive video? I'm so sorry if I'm just not seeing them linked in the description 😬

[@FalconRadFPV]

This video is about the antennas I'm using on my goggles to receive video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3mTlIpvja9nepY

[@mog59]

Breathtaking 🤩👏👏. I kept my fingers crossed for you at the ice bridge 😮‍💨✊✊. Epic flight 🥇🏆🥇!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much for the comment! 👍

[@droneobatics]

Beautiful shots!

[@akio6730]

A real adventure!

[@GiantAntCowboy]

Great video, that feeling is exactly what long-range mountain surfing is all about, pure intense adrenaline! If you attempted that ice bridge with DJI/WS it possibly would have frozen/disconnected... I only trust Analog/Hdzero for these sorts of flights. On that note, didn't you get a DJI setup a while back to test? Either way, awesome trip, those mountain goats were so cool, cheers bud!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Ya I've been flying an 03 cinematic 7.5" build. Just about to release the frame soon and then I'll start talking about that build in videos.

[@SavagerobFPV]

Just awesome 👌👌👌👌

[@placesingeorgia]

hello from Georgia. bro you are crazy. very good shots. i flight on analog max for me 6.5 km on caucasus mountain.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Nice, well done!

[@JAMKROMEDIA]

Great video! Loved the goats :)

[@juhaszjanos7770]

You are the best!

[@minkorrh]

I'm just going through the details of a long range 7". After loving the GEPRC Mark 4 flight characteristics in a 5", I decided to build a 7" of the same frame and will attempt Li-on cells/packs for longer flight times and distance. How far away were you when the video went out? I miss BC and the mountains to explore like this. Maybe time to move home. Lol.....dude you're brave....flying distance AND over water all the way................beautiful footage of that glacier.....the thing with long range is sometimes you are so far away you never know if you're going behind an object that will kill your video and result in a heartache.

[@FalconRadFPV]

That's the trick with long range, always knowing your surroundings in relation to your line of sight back to the home point.

[@zedsian]

Excellent flight.!! Could you maybe share your go pro settings for this video?

[@FalconRadFPV]

This would have been my hero 8 black for the camera, not sure about the exact settings and ND filter that were used but I can tell you what I've found works well for me. Resolution / aspect ratio: 4k 4:3 for hero 8 (5.3k 8:7 for the newer ones that can) Color: Flat White balance: 5000k for sunny (I think it was 5500k for cloudy) ND filter: 32 for summer sun, spring and fall I'll use an ND 16 for full sun unless it's white water or snow in direct sun then still a 32. Cloudy I'll use the ND. The goal is to get the filter to help achieve the right shutter speed and ISO settings. ISO: 100 (200 if necessary, avoid going higher) FPS: I find GoPro (any of them) footage looks best at 30fps, 60fps never looks as good in the background details, only really need it if you intend on adjusting the playback speed of the clip to something other than a multiple of 100%. Shutter speed: 1/60th to get a better feel of speed in close to things (more motion blur) and 1/120th to get crisper background details. Sure wish I learned all that a year or two earlier, haha, there you go! (oh ya, auto works well for the sutter as long as the lighting is nice and even, backlit clouds and big shadowed areas will mess with it a lot though. Still want to lock all those other settings though.)

[@zedsian]

@@FalconRadFPV Thank you very much for the information, I highly appreciate it.

[@ANDY-mo1rb]

Impressive flight!

[@unixoid33]

quite a risky flight. Probably got some adrenaline) although for me as a fixed wing pilot, 1.5 km range is a close distance

[@sheggy012]

The colour on the dvr looks way better then on the gopro, maybe you can tweak some setting. Very nice rescue by the way.

[@kakafpv]

Great flying bro

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks ✌
