I flew my quad far af.

Today i decided i was going to beat my long range personal best of 6km by flying my drone 8km out over the ocean and back, this is the farthest ive ever flown a drone!

[@Paginski]

Thank you for using kilometers! Greetings from Poland.

[@BOTGRINDER]

no problem!

[@simonebanana]

Hahahahahaha

[@MrTwojaythomo]

Yeah mate appreciate using metric measurements, I know Miles but we all use metric around the world@@BOTGRINDER

[@fredio54]

Polqnd has coast, it's nautical mikes, even in metric countries ;-)

[@davidanderson6222]

My two worst fears, flying over water and miles out with a pretty nice quad! 😅 You did it with coolness. Lol

[@WezleyVarty]

How do you walk around with those huge diamond plated steel balls bro?? Great seeing you pushing the range envelope man… 8km on a quad is nothing to be scoffed at, for real. How good is that buzz after you land having achieved the range you set out to do 💪

[@RickJamesFPV]

Thanks for making me unafraid to take my HDZero long distance!🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jeffparisse4202]

Over the Ocean? OK that took balls! Much respect! BTW… Killer battery, I use one on my AOSUL7… Pick up a couple VAS helicals…🙄 The thrill and enthusiasm jumped through the screen… An accurate representation of what it is like to pull off a daring LR flight! 🔥

[@DigitalCruzer]

its a foam sandwiched frame, u just set a button to eject the battery and motors and call coast guard, lol

[@asslord]

Every video with Izzy is a good video. Also, congratz on the LR flight, great stuff!!! I would never do that but I'm so glad you did it successfully! You and PDL, that maniac, just met accidentally on the beach??! Craaazy All the best to you Bot. Thank you for all you're doing and take care

[@kerrymillar4981]

Put amp draw on your osd and fly at the speed where your amp draw is the lowest for max distance out of your li-ion

[@BOTGRINDER]

good looks

[@fpvgiggles]

What if our quads dabbed with us before they went up in the air...would they follow all of our stick inputs?

[@StrifeCJ]

8k over the ocean already had me gritting my teeth haha. the battery is an absolute brick. great flight. all the hd videos are contently getting more impressive

[@rogerchristeson]

Static was always somewhat present but one great advantage i noticed as someone who flies only DJI is that your OSD info wasn't ever covered up by the break-up. In theory you could fly it back blind. I cant really say thats possible with analog or DJI without taking a risk of using autonomous flight. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@GiantAntCowboy]

Yo my homie, first congrats, epic (long) flight! However you gotta add a couple OSD elements: ‘Amp Draw’ & ‘mAh Used’. Throttle position and mAh/km are also nice… but the other two are almost mandatory for long-range with Li-ion packs! Anyway nice video, great family fun, two enthusiast thumbs up! Cheers!

[@cutterhead13]

You 3 are national treasures , had to say. Koodos for that sucessfull roundtrip tripple record break thats epic AF .

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Bro you are killing it every video. This was pretty epic. You have that 7" flying really good now. I looked up the battery cells in that pack and the "discharge cut off voltage" is 2.5V. So you still had a bit of juice in the tank, despite the wind (you landed at 3.56V) PS - the cells "nominal voltage" is listed at 3.6V.

[@upgradeenergy2133]

Love seeing you pushing the range of our Upgrade Energy packs! You made it out quite far!

[@xovox9507]

Top tip for landing on sand, disarm and drop from a height, you don't want to come down near the sand with props spinning, this blows the sand up and it is cycled round up and over you quad and in to your motors and everything. The height you need to disarm at will depend on prop size and weight of quad, I just disarm at about 5 feet high with my 5 inch, it just lands flat on the sand an doesn't get in the motors. If you use a high camera angle you can switch to angle mode to get it flat and level then disarm.

[@Harrytaylor2732]

Amazing achievement Bot! Congrats on smashing your record! Also… Philly drone life… watta guy!

[@maxmoya2773]

“5.5mi for you Americans… oh wait I’m American” 😂😂😂

[@Paulwhittingham]

Nice. Plenty of battery left too, maybe get an mfd crossfire tracking station to rule out head movement and bang some big ass helicals on it too

[@JSKCKNIT]

🤬 awesome Bot!! I was certain you'd return back at like 2.7V. That's awesome man. Huge props!!🤙🏾

[@Chillin-fpv]

That's awesome 8km congrats bro. I'm stoked for the 10km flight. Couple more paychecks and I should be up and flying. It's killing me being responsible and not just buying everything I need at once

[@TheMadmacs]

great stuff, not just the 8km the whole vid rocked. flyin out to see is just horrifying, the wind over the sea is always faster, and the lack of visual input for direction must have been mesmerizing. its good to have a co-pilot just calmly reading your stats out loud, cause you kinda have to just fly the telemetry, great job. best i've done is a half mile with a 5 inch and i swear i drew blood on the sticks. youre ready for the mountains.

[@xrxfpv1994]

YoooOoo, I can't wait to see if that AKK 3W can do 70Km! Great vid bro, see you soon

[@BOTGRINDER]

Soon! Got my aos 7" ready for it!

[@comsterfpv9668]

What's that? AKK is making a 3W HDZero vtx? Or analogue?

[@xrxfpv1994]

@Comster FPV They made a 3w analog a lil while back. Great quality but harder to find in the US. Tossed one to Bot while rippin Nevele Resort this winter in hopes to see what he can pull off wit it 😀

[@TheVeganarchism]

That was awesome! I have a Flywoo Nano Baby which I took to the beach the second-ever time I flew it…straight into the sand several times. Just blew out the sand and kept flying.

[@vitalysacred]

Thanks for KMs! Smart

[@hazzahfpv6675]

HDZero for the win. I'm very happy with it. I also have two flights on a 7" Walksnail quad. It made it to 500 meters and then just dropped the video link in clear line of sight without warning. Can't trust that system and gps on walksnail is a must, because you never know when GPS-Rescue has to save your ass. Problem is, Walksnail kills GPS reception, so you also have to work around that as well. HDZero s'been solid so far.

[@matred3538]

Impressive distance Botgrinder! What a lovely day out at the beach. 🙃👍

[@loballd544]

BG love your stuff. Can you please do a budget build/sourcing guide? You've inspired me to make my first drone haha.

[@BOTGRINDER]

honestly in fpv you get what you pay for and going budget is only going to cost you alot more money and frustration in the long run, there are def ways to save money but i cant recommend using cheap parts, a good way to get flying fast is to just get a bind and fly micro or whoop and then build a nice 5" once your comfortable flying.

[@loballd544]

@@BOTGRINDERMakes sense, already found some sick BNFs that aren't too bad on my budget. Thanks for the reply!

[@BOTGRINDER]

@@loballd544 awesome! welcome to fpv!

Always wanted to build a long range plane to make VTX test videos over the ocean. Totally not the NJ ocean tho any ocean flight video was made in the Mexico ocean.

Awesome flight man! 8km is nuts!

I subscribed to your channel, now i can't fly while sober anymore. Best drones yt channel!

[@jesterwaterwizard2917]

That was ace and super entertaining thank you … thinking of doin same with walksnail from blackpool beach England 8.6k hope it works as well as your shit thanks again botty

[@embededfabrication4482]

you have to turn around once in a while to know what your signal is gonna be coming back, sometimes you can lose it when the antenna points away from you.

[@oziumentisis]

Well done, kudos for flying over water, we know how much you hate it! My palms were getting sweaty (gross sorry) but that was tense!!! Great job Bot!

[@jesterwaterwizard2917]

The fact you drifted with the wind so much seems you could have got a lot further with them directional antenna bet you can do 11k

[@0xDEADBEEF]

@BOTGRINDER, how did you managed to achieve so good GPS satellite 3D Fix? I see that you have no any shielding on wires going from FC to GPS module. I tried HDZero Freestyle VTX on 0 mW and my M10Q can't even get 5 sat lock.

[@fishbonez5670]

I'm at 10:09 and am excited for ya. I recall the 1st time you attempted long rang and it was nearly a disaster now 8k!! My heart rate increased a lot for you while watching. Well done beats my mid range stuff any day. Ok back to the video. Just had to stop and comment

hey thanks!! im still shaking from it haha

these long range are epic! 20km miles next time? also you gotta go high up flat earther, get the signal around the bend of the earth

thank you!

[@leonardothillet6423]

Hey dude! Awesome content, this kind of gives us long range newbies the courage to keep pushing! I also had a question, should I put 4 patch antennas on my dji v2 goggles for lo ger range? I see you wear only patches, but i have no clue if that will work with the dji system. I currently have Lumenier AXII HD 2 Patch Visor, and it works great, but just wondering if 2 more patches is the way to go. Thanks bro!

Gym, Tan, Laundry, LongRangeQuadFlight. Bot on the Jersey Shore. Edit: Bot - you rock. Be proud - you’re a great pilot, journalist and entertainer or something like that. You do stuff that is legit good and sometimes important - for “the community”. That’s pride worthy.

[@flyinfilm90]

love it. send it'

[@Robert-ug8uu]

Have you tried analog with HDZero goggles? How does the screens look in HDZero goggles compared to Orqa Pilots using Sharkbtye vrx? I have Pilots but am considering getting HDZero goggles.

[@BOTGRINDER]

It looks great when it works, the analog side is messed up for alot of folks right now

[@SlattFpv]
