[@beyond305]

dji can make their drones fly as far as they want but they know that if they do that then sales will drop. if drone A can fly 25+ miles, then what would be the point of purchasing another drone ? this is why each one of their drones has different features and can fly further than the previous. they bird feed the public but it makes for a good business model, now if someone or a company would stop being scared and make some good after market parts then we can see things like this video happen with drones...

[@sansaratech]

At a top speed of around 25MPH, given the vast expanses of typical search areas, it would actually be very inefficient. You'd run out of go-juice after a few square miles. Maybe specific targeted missions..

[@sansaratech]

@BECOMING WR The swarm array idea is an interesting one, but yes, you can search very large areas of ocean at speeds much greater than 100mph. It's done every single day with conventional aircraft. They have thermal imaging, FLIR, and all manner of technology to find boats and other floating objects, and warm bodies. When you consider that a search area can be tens of thousands of square miles, 25 miles per hour would be impractically slow. You'd never complete a mission. And you would need thousands upon thousands of UAVs of this size all coordinated. They'd all need a place to launch from, and a place to land. At sea. And you're still limited by a finite battery charge. Like I said, I can imagine a potential use for very targeted searches, but in a typical search and rescue mission at sea, you're going to need fast, long range aircraft initially.

The issue you had at higher elevation is likely technical of interference and not the cell signal. You may have been crossing a terrestrial microwave link between islands.

[@effyleven]

David Webb Polarizing filter rotated to the right angle will reduce, possibly eliminate, reflection from water surface... ... but I do not think that would be a good idea at all. It will very much reduce the visibility of the surface and immediately make it much harder to estimate height. For instance, there would be a complete loss of parallax progression information as the reflection moves through the frame at higher speed than the floor of the sea. That is a big clue to speed AND height.

[@riverbankfisher]

My Mavic Pro 1 quadcopter can only reach about 3.5 miles from the home point before it must head back due to battery limitations. Round trip the absolute maximum distance it will cover is 6.1miles, after which it typically lands with 15% to 20% of battery charge. Seeing this Parrot cover 25 miles over open ocean where winds could shift on a dime, then return home with over 40% battery left at touchdown is astonishing. The stability of the video picture is also unexpected. For truly long-range flights I can now see there is no substitute for a fixed-wing platform. This is a landmark achievement that raises the bar for long-distance FPV feats of endurance even today in 2022 four years after this bold flight was posted here on youtube. Wow!

Omg really enjoyed this so much, makes me want to try. Beautiful production, stunning scenery, great voiceover. Talented guy,

[@interestedinstuff]

Such a cool vid. The path across the ground is called your ground track. I do know that my days as a radio technician taught me that a radio signal travels better closer to the water. They said it was because the water acts as a ground plane. It could also be because towers are aimed at the height most of us are. Dunno. Your experiment suggests it is true. Here in Australia they are making the sport ever less legal. Needing a license to fly them now (above a certain weight). Perhaps you can figure out the payload and run a small parcel delivery business. ha. (I'm surprised you don't have a rescue boat on standby with perhaps a blinking red LED on top so you can find it).

Interesting. The 120km FPV range limit is a bit concerning when the DISCO can do better with the cell signal capability. With larger batteries the DISCO can fly more than 100miles and more with a complimentary solar system attached. I'm not sure I like the parachute landing. If there is some wind it could spell disaster. I like being able to do fairly pinpoint landings with DISCO. Raybird 3 looks Great for those applications which would need the payload capability though 👍.

Dustin Dunnill Do it! :D

[@gourmettini4265]

Do it please

[@brandenowen4169]

Man you have to break this down and explain how it's done this is a game changer! Great video

[@swanseawales1979]

I'd be interested to see it as well please

[@hEXordo]

This is pretty cool, im a raven operator in the army and ive been looking for a toy to play with and get a little practice on my own, i really like this setup!

[@ronmatthews8399]

Phantom 4 is more useful and can make income

[@sirlancelot3109]

Wow I’m a bit embarrassed how much I nerded out watching this, just wow. So weird to be getting immersed in the flight in the middle of the channel and then hearing a car horn. Great video, great mod, great journey, congrats

[@pwhit59]

Goodness this puts a shame to my Mavic drone. Now I'm gonna want something like this.

[@chrisholt3105]

OMG I love you. Had my disco a year and never flown it yet. 😂 you’re friggin island hopping at 10 mile clips. Unreal. Wtfwtfwtfwtf

[@andrewsisty0]

Heaven on Earth, Maui, beyond blessed to live there. I'd scrub toilets for a income with a smile on my face to live there under a palm!

[@BlueOvals24]

Bruh, it's just Cali without as many morons.

[@neoasura]

@@BlueOvals24 Cali would be paradise without Morons, so it's worth it.

Well cell tower antennas are directional believe it or not, and they mainly use sector antennas. They are broad in the horizontal axis and narrow in the vertical. They are pointed down because obviously more people are on the ground

[@mayekarharish]

6:20 👍 superb water footage

[@AlexanderBrowne]

This must be longest flight on KZbin. Excellent video and seriously impressive mod!

[@jeffknott7360]

Your voice sounds like the pilot in those space shuttle videos say" my radars good and your radars good" haha

[@RICKHALBUR]

These flight are just getting better every flight thanks so much for great video Dustin

[@philip7343]

Wow. Don't know why this was recommend but watched the whole thing. When I worked electronic sales I poo poo`d parrot drones but this mod is amazing and shows how capable this platform is. Keep up the awesome work.

[@kcs5689]

23:07 - 23:35 This is just like in a gameplay, but here, you really have an aircraft flying around many kilometers/miles away from you :D

[@captainmarcin6105]

So true, I have this drone, with 4g mod, and it really feels like it when it's 10km away and I still have fulll control

[@MrBofB]

Dustin that was absolutely fantastic to watch. It's videos like this that keep me pumped up for the hobby. Thank you for what you do!

[@JosephColeno]

Thanks for that vdo. 42% power left and almost an hour flight time. That’s really great too.

[@DustinDunnill]

I think it was actually 47% left. I read screen wrong 😄👍

[@burq-]

Was it legal? Would truly like to know how it is, thought you could only fly in sight

[@DustinDunnill]

Check your country laws & guidelines. You can also get permission to do special flights like this if it's not generally allowed.

[@burq-]

Thanks for a timely response! Is there a certain place to find such info?

[@khairuzzadalhikmah5511]

omg that was amazing, glad this popped up in my recommendations. As a mavic air pilot i can never get this range 😂😂 but i use it more for shots instead of fpv. But this was really amazing. Subbed🤙

[@valekreed]

I was thinking sbout the good ole days when we would push the envelope with drones like the first people to fly or break the sound barrier or leave earth. I use to watch your videos in awe. Just blown away. Now im watching videos of drones with thermal and night vision and ai assisted tracking. Still blown away.

[@furiousangels6222]

The footage was fantastic plus YOU did a fantastic job with this. The build, the flight. The long range crown snatched from the hands of DJI and taken back to the no contest winner, the Parrot Disco!! 👍😁😎

[@nohproton343]

Great demonstration bro!..you already beat DJI .., amazing..good job..

[@KingABS]

Epic ! Thanks for this outstanding flight

[@notfound379]

Very cool. Sad statement about my flying skills is my favorite part near the end was when you were adjusting the camera and said "Whoops, wrong way" and I thought "Hah! It's not just me" even this guy does it. So now I feel better. Thanks.

[@Fpvfreaky]

Be cool if you could solar panel in for charging up on the way aswel 😊👍🏽

[@DustinDunnill]

I need to find some very light panel material to stick on top 👍

[@Fpvfreaky]

Dustin Dunnill hell yeah there must be something out there. Great job by the way it’s a must do mod that👍🏽

[@HobkinBoi]

Rctestflight did several videos on solar rc fpv aircraft. It works, but it requires alot of solar cells and a very light carbon fiber airframe. But he managed to squeeze quite a few hours of flight out of it, by being easy on the throttle and by trying to find thermals to ride.

[@geoffreymartin2714]

the problem with drones with that is adding weight calls for more power from the motor which in turn effects battery life. also getting a panel strong enough to charge lithium ion batteries

[@nielscremer599]

Bruh this is insane. I'm a drone (quadcopter) pilot, and this is just on another level

[@DaeJreamerz]

Bro this has to be one of the coolest things I've seen. I stayed at Kapalua in Maui and always wondered how far the trip would be to Lanai or Molokai. Of course I didnt dare attempt this with my Mavic but its just cool to see thanks for the content.

[@rwatson2609]

I'm impressed. And it's 2 year old technology now. I wonder what is out there these days. Also, just a curiosity note. Your battery power dropped 15% exactly at the point of landing which tells me that possibly the processor might have updated the battery life based on the motor power surge at the point of crash. but dunno. Nice video.

[@ricanryker6441]

I wish i had the knowledge to operate one i would do it in a second, that was absolutely AWESOME!!!!!😆👍👍👍👍

[@johnrosario7467]

By far the coolest thing I've ever seen in RC... Fun narration! Thank you!

[@krpinckney]

Just came across your video. 'Seriously epic journey. I've just become interested in drones and I love your stuff. Brings back great memories of living in Hawaii as well. Thanks.

[@YouDakineAh]

This was amazing to see it reach another Island. Born and raised on Maui.

[@cesiumion]

This video is soooo satisfying. It's almost like ASMR.

[@travisk5589]

Okay. Proof of concept verified. Now let's fly some nude beaches.
