Flown with the Flywoo Explorer LR by Dave_C FPV and a 3000mAh Li-Ion battery, which allows you to fly for up to 30 minutes with close to 10km of range. (DJI Digital FPV System)
I came back from this flight with 50% of the battery still full!

I started writing this comment already at the 20th second of the video. Very cool. music creates suspense, along with the noise on the video

Суперский полет, посмотрел целиком несколько раз. Музыка хорошо подходит. Солнце хотелось подольше посмотреть

[@DrDepth89]

Setting up for mini LR with an Explorer and Crossfire. Found your channel while checking out Explorer LR 4 HD vids. Can’t stop watching these couple vids. This is best type of FPV! “If I was a bird of prey, where would I fly/explore?” Your flying is great. Loved how you got to play around the ridge in the sun with the “other birds “. Just saw your insta link … cool, more killer flying to watch.

Absolutely EPIC 💯

This video is so mesmerizing, Thank you very much, I can't stop replaying it, I think this is the best way to enjoy FPV

Amazing flight ! This is Long long range ! I am amazed at the range of the video signal.

Terrific work- The parallels of the lighting and scenery with the music are really perfectly set. Excellent flying- I trust your setup allowed you to see a bit clearer than the imagery of the camera.

[@Rcschim]

@@FPFPV I reviewed the knockoffs (chimera4 and shadow fiend) and finally got the flywoo hexplorer now. I guess the hex is a bit better for weight and also stability in gusty conditions. your instagram link doesnt work btw. where do you fly?

[@TheBevis593]

YEEEESS!! this is literally why I got into FPV, for mountain surfing. This video is epic. I have my first Li-ion pack in the mail right now, and just got my patch antennas for my goggles. Li-po batteries have kept me from doing any flights like this with my Flywoo Explorer. But soon, very soon. What is your stick feel/power like with this setup?

[@FPFPV]

Thanks! Yeah it's definitely not as nimble as with a Lipo, but that's the tradeoff you have to make for more flight time. Still maneuverable enough for flights like these!

[@TheBevis593]

​@@FPFPV Awesome! and yeah, lower power output plus the added weight. I went with a 3s 3000mah pack. It was 50g lighter than most others, but might be a wash with one less cell lol. Thanks for responding so quick on an older video. Great work. Ill be hella nervous on my first flight like this haha

@@FPFPV thanks for that. Yeah a few were saying to me don't get the 4 inch as it won't be able to handle the winds and height, but your video blew that theory !

[@Twinkying]

How do you get such long range with your video? Mine only gets 500 meters before video cuts out.

[@FPFPV]

Hey! Your MSP connection might be the reason, the Air Unit only increased its power once it receives an arm signal from the flight controller. Check out this video for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmemc4ypm9J1qc0

[@jonathanbr6553]

Currently saving up to get exactly the setup you have! Do you have recommendations on where to get the explorer? Getfpv/banggood/flywoo? Was the shipping time long? How about shipping time for the tango II? (Since you’re in Europe as well)

[@FPFPV]

Awesome! Personally, I bought the Explorer from Flywoo themselves. In the beginning, they had parts shortages and I had to wait 2 months for it to arrive, but nowadays they ship pretty quickly. Though shipping could still take 2-3 weeks. Maybe GetFPV or some other local place could be faster. Bought the Tango 2 from TBS, I think they shipped it after a week or two. Dunno how the availability is elsewhere now.

[@FLYBY.shootings]

THIS IS LONG RANGE! Awesome Video Dude. Can't wait to try out my Hexplorer.. What Range? Stock Antennas on the goggles? Sub'd!

[@FPFPV]

Thanks! Max distance on this flight was ~4km, total flight distance about 12km. Yeah, just with the stock antennas :) And only a bit more than 50% of battery used. This thing can fly forever!

[@martinma6194]

Really well done! I love the atmosphere at sunset. I also have a Flywoo explorer and use a 4s 3000mah LI-ion with an SMO 4K camera, so very similar to your set up. However with all the weight when it dives down a cliff, it wobbles (especially with lower throttle) and I suspect it is due to the heavier weight. Did you ever have that problem and if so, how did you solve it? I just changed the stock PID to the one used by Oscar Liang and I am excited to test it out this weekend. Thanks!

[@FPFPV]

Thanks! Did changing the PIDs solve it? Haven't had any wobbles myself, so I'm not sure. Cheers

[@martinma6194]

@@FPFPV I think the new PIDs improved the flight characteristics. But I still have wobble when cliff diving with lower throttle. Maybe I need to keep the throttle higher. I recently ventured into 7 inch long range FPV and the flight performance is great. But the downside is the added bulk. I take mine hiking every time.

[@FPFPV]

@@martinma6194 Same, I also love to go hiking with them. Pure bliss. But also the reason why I prefer the smaller 4" over 7. Haven't flown in a while, looking forward to get back into it!

[@mikepyt87]

Could you be more specific on your DJI system please? I am going to Hawaii in a few weeks and just ordered an explorer. The only thing it seems to be lacking is the ability to carry a GoPro (Osmo Action in my case). That said, I am brand new to the DJI system. I have stock antennas on the V2 goggles with a vista / air unit Lite I will be putting in the explorer. Your footage looks amazing for dvr and would like to reproduce as much of your quality as possible. Thank you!

[@FPFPV]

Hey! The video here is from a "naked" GoPro Hero 6. Basically just a GoPro with the case, battery and screen removed. There are tutorials on how to disassemble it. Finally, you can solder the connection cable to these two pads on the Flywoo ESC: i.imgur.com/kOcohw1.png The DVR from the vista / air unit is also good, but not quite comparable to the GoPro :)

[@SilverFox80521]

What signal power are you set at? Your signal seems beyond normal. Coulda swore you went behind the peak several times.

[@sdellava]

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing. But ... It sound very weird that you did with just a DJI system. It appears that from your tx in many moments you can't be in Line of Sight with the tx, so it is almost impossible that the singal was so good to allow you to fly so close to the groud. I suppose that there must be some helpful reflectors (or repeters) in that area that allow the signal to bounch and reach the rx. Have you evaluated this aspect?

[@FPFPV]

It's just a normal Flywoo Explorer with the DJI system, trust me. There's line of sight at all times, you can clearly see the two peaks that I flew to at the beginning of the video. When I turned around, you can also always see the place where I took off from and where I was standing, i.e. line of sight.
