Nice job capturing what many will never have the opportunity to see. My son and I went up the Stairway about 20 years ago and now seeing your video brings back a fond memory. Thanks!

[@adunsky]

The first 10:50 minutes are a non-content plus ads. The rest is nice, but the hype exceeds the result. Fun flight though.

[@Mcgeee]

Do you also fast forward Avengers to when Thanos dies?

[@k5utc]

Drones are such an amazing tool for cases like this and so many more. This tool can provide us a way to preserve small parts of history without facing trespass issues and preventing further degradation, contamination or theft of remaining artifacts preserving whats left.

[@WillyFoxx]

Niiiiiceee!!! I feel you...trying these dream shots make your heartbeat so fast...and fingers shaking at the top i am sure. No risk no fun! Also, the fact that the weather is so difficult, makes the whole thing feel more like an adventure, or else everyone would do it! Congrats!

[@Mcgeee]

Thanks man! Yesss exactly so nerve racking haha

[@skysailorfpv]

That was an awesome flight brother thank you for sharing and the back story

[@fadedchicken]

As many, many small pieces of history are torn down the memory becomes easier to be forgotten and then the history itself is repeated.

[@Lucianrider]

Even if they remove the stairs the mountain remains and that is what makes this an amazing FPV flight!

[@decfpv]

So glad you were able to get the shot you’ve wanted for so long!🔥 Now onto the next one 😂

[@63KVEEKSHAWAII]

Pretty darn epic!

[@dliu.creates]

wow, I lost my first chimera 7 attempting this exact shot at sunrise, losing orientation in the clouds at the radar tower, and then having gps rescue fail due to wind 🥲 so nervewracking flying that far out. great job and nice storytelling!

[@nilotheking]

what was your setup? any tips you would give yourself to prevent loosing that one?

[@dliu.creates]

@@nilotheking I was using the stock betaflight (4.2? it was 2021) which cannot use compass input so its gps RTH is not as reliable. I switched to INAV for its replacement. I also now do a "pre-flight briefing" where I practice which switches to flip in case of panic/loss of video

[@SebastianDylag]

Came for the FPV shot, stayed becouse of the story... well done Danny ! Loved the video ! 😄

[@overtorquednut]

Less talking, more flying.

[@markb9347]

Persistence pays!

[@danp158]

This is a masterpiece! Beautifully done brotha 🔥😍

[@johnjonesdronesfpv7939]

Huge accomplishment. Great journey bro. Killer spot. Way to nail a flight before something cool dissappeared. Immortalizing it forever. I usually watch freestyle exclusively. You really brought me in with the great storytelling. Youre getting me curious on this whole long range thing....

[@TheParadigmShiftTV]

The Chimera 7 for the win! Just got my 3rd one. Best tool for the job for sure.

[@michaelollom9964]

Epic run

[@ColinRingas]

Epic dude!! I know how long you’ve been dreaming of getting that shot 🙌🏼 glad it finally worked out!

[@Mcgeee]

I know man super pumped as well! Weather is so unpredictable out there haha

[@nolanoconnor4828]

Super righteous video man!

[@Mcgeee]

Appreciate it!

[@JMVC]

BRO!!! You know what they say?..... Do you? Epic Tale!

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

That was amazing Danny awesome job I love your determination! That staircase is a historic site in my opinion and should be protected!

[@firstgingell9458]

Wow 👏

[@hunterbuie9548]

Awesome stuff man!

[@Mcgeee]

Thanks man!

[@robertoryuk]

agreee with you a petition must come its part of history

[@wearetrackclub]

Stunning footage! The descending shot went crazy 🤩

[@gladperson116]

What really makes me mad is when people buy a house knowing that they're buying a house next to a historic landmark and complain that people come and look at this historic landmark and what do they do? they make the government remove the landmark cuz they're dumb and have awful judgment with their stupidity.

[@IsaacMTSU]

That disarm catch was awesome too!

[@cjsljs]

I've heard about the stairs, but never the story behind them. That was awesome and a great video!!! Thank you

[@dinodavefpv]

Epic my dude!! Not many people get to see everything that goes into a shot like this, too often it's just the finished product

[@herokme0]

been waiting for this video for a while, so glad you got the shot!

[@DotAndDab]

I love the desire to get the shot, i do think if you had more attempts getting closer to the stairs would look better but good job

[@frankensteinfpv]

Love that you included some cool history. And what an amazing flight and view! great stuff...

[@TCMr-nq2ly]

Brilliant video, I got goosebumps, it's unbelievable how beautiful it is up there😍😍😍

[@_akirauehara]

Mount Fuji next?

[@Mcgeee]

I’m in 👀

[@FabioMeloLuiz]

Very good video. Congratulations on sharing the story. About the radio. I believe that TBS would be the best signal. It cost!

[@JSKCKNIT]

Awesome and amazing flight! So good to see the windward side. That took tremendous 🥎⚾️!! I applaud your patience, waiting for a break in the weather is an oddity right there. Your patience paid off! 🤙🏾

[@darnold87]

Amazing! 👍

[@john-martin]

Beautiful bro

[@peterfritzphoto]

That was cooool.

[@Piros181]

Wow absolutely awesome Danny

[@thankyou.rogers]

Hell yeah bro, gonna be back on Oahu September, let’s link 🥳

[@bwasfpv]

[@TulsaDrones]

Instant subscription, awesome shot sir.

[@155spy]

Legend Dude , greetings out of South Africa - we too love the Mountain Dives 💪🏻💪🏻

[@kardady]

epic, man

[@rubengarciajr7560]

Luv surfing down a mountain on fpv. Great landing catch

[@buckmanriver]

Did you have return to home enabled for this flight? If so how did you do it?

[@glenpound9353]

Did you use a signal booster to get the long range video?

[@josediaz6246]

Bro i been wanting to fly this spot since i moved here

[@GR8SCOTT]

Epic!!!

[@dronie_potato913]

The stock antennas gives you that much range??

[@Mcgeee]

Yup super solid

[@jansen_fpv]

so nice to have a story around the fpv flight. nice video 10/10

[@Brain4tn_FPV]

Awesome video, loved the back story. I was out flying the windward side a few weekends ago. Still working up the guts to leave the parks and do some mountain cruising. Also need to check out the abandoned looking building that I have been eyeballing for a couple years now near the H3 tunnel entrance.

[@skycandyfpv9482]

That's was real cool good one bro!!!

[@Roman.the.explorer]

Great video man! How is the range of chimera compared to something like nazgul?

[@front7inexfatal432]

what a shot dude!

[@juancarlosedoedo]

Amaizing

[@helibladerunner74]

Thanks for sharing That flight was epic Congratulations on pulling it off Well done

[@SebastianDylag]

This might be THE BEST fpv shot ever.... 😮

[@drOnEski]

Let's g😎!! 💯

[@DylinSnedden]

Unreal dedication and execution, man!

[@yetbarekzelalem7793]

could you show us the drone and it's assembly?

[@nicklegrey987]

You're living the life. Kee living. Glad to see young people doing what they love.🎉🎉

[@RGMGFitness]

Hah! If I lived 15 min. from there I’d be doing the same thing. I’ve been to the island a few times but was never enough time to work out all the mechanics of a run like that. Yeah, think sunset was the way to go. Just to cloudy in the morning. That’s a tough shot to get! Glad you didn’t lose any quads. 🏝🏝😎

[@Mcgeee]

Thanks man! Same haha

[@Kevins93cobra]

Great video man. I did the hike in late 2019, and it was so worth it!

[@eastondennis2293]

Way to go boy!!!

[@Mcgeee]

Yew!

[@maliqblaq]

That was amazing! Perseverance pays off!!!!

[@p42once1]

where did you park at for the launch?

[@ralphderkapitaen9875]

nicely done! thanks for getting the footage before the historical stairs are gone forever (what a shame)

[@Tankistko]

Nice footage! What battery did you use?

[@kirkglundal4289]

Anyone slope soaring up there? Pretty sweet! How 's the Chimera handle the wind?

[@TheTimeCollector]

Pretty awesome

[@fpvkauai]

You know what they say, do you ? 😂 such a good video. That sunrise lighting would've looked unreal! still an amazing long range flight 🤙I've had this shot on my bucket list, sad that they are planning on taking it down...

[@Mcgeee]

Kyle always with the one liners… 😂 And yeah man really hoping they don’t actually do it

[@calmarcalmar]

that was boss-like 12:35

[@javmag9839]

Man that is so interesting and fascinating that you was able to got this shoot Pls do more content like this one Great day Mate

[@brunord841]

Awesome🔥 !!! I got same gears than you but I noticed that with the DJI rc 2 I got some Rx loss when I am in channel mode manual. I can see in your video that you're in manual mode on the channel 2. Don't you have any issues ? For me the only solution to fix Rx loss is to fly in auto mode but it looks like the range and penetration is not as good as in manual mode.

[@pshepfpv]

So sicks dude! Can't believe you pulled this one off. Crazy!!

[@Mcgeee]

Appreciate it!! Looking at flights now 👀

[@iamagob]

How much range and flight time you go?

[@R00RAL]

Mate !!! LOOOVE IT !!! Love the stairs, what an amazing hike !!! Id ask a girl to marry me up there.. Helicopter pre arranged to come down over the city first. What a waste to let it go.

[@ooo_o856]

DJI 03 air unit can replace GoPro ?

[@tekila912]

dude how it didnt diconect? i get a lot of disconnections from the video feed in way shorter distances,.

[@TrainLovers-TL69]

Perfect shots and good story 👍

[@panoramic_life38]

I enjoyed the video 😍

[@IAmTheOceanWhosWatersOverflow]

kyle looks skunked 😉

[@ArgonautasDrone]

Muito louco, imagens fantásticas, 👏🤩

[@MarkGrob]

EPIC!!

[@luketornare]

Let’s go 🔥

[@RussSweet]

Seems like a lot of people lose there drones there, love how much prep and planning went into this one, sick work as always!

[@SkermiebroTech]

Only 3k views? This deserves more

[@patrickeul]

Great vid.

[@firstgingell9458]

Song at the end?

[@floriankorber-perner8259]

How do you get sich long range with your Googles 2

[@baaao]

quality content! may i know what music genre u use in clip where you get the fpv shots?

[@Drawmaster33]

Yeah you did it! Shot looks great :)

[@lukeefpv]

Man this is so epic 😍 really love that shot 💪😮 I'm going this year to hawaii and would like to make same shot 😁could you tell me location where did you take off ? 😏 Thanks buddy 🙏

[@luiz1919]

It is sick how much your body is able to shake when you are flying so high and far away. Nice video!
