Summiting Istindan 1489m - FPV Long range with commentary - Chimera 7 1300kv

[@J-MADFPV]

Awesome flight! And I agree it is wild to get such an adrenaline rush while sitting still. This is great inspiration as I gear up to fly one of the 14k ft mountains here in Colorado in about 2 weeks. Cheers!

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Awesome! Link me the video if/when you upload it! :D

[@Ouzala]

Awesome, so cool to have you commentating your thought during the flight ! Also beautiful place !

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thanks for watching 🤩 Yeah these mountains are stunning ❤️

[@BarretoFPV]

Beautiful flight and piloting skills! Vtx signal over the flight was impressive!

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thanks :)

[@keikocgz]

You really pushed those iflight crystal patches not even to its limits yet. Lots of naysayers saying it doesnt give a decent range. This flight of yours destroyed those claims. Great flight vid! This is why we fly - for those adrenaline shakes haha

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Haha true! Can’t wait for the long winter nights to be over so I can go fly again! Yeah the iFlight antennas should be good enough for the 13km hard limit.

[@MrCaptainnemo]

Great video. Very impressed with your narration. I would be too terrified to be capable of speech. A fantastic rush every time. 👏

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thank you 🙌

Absolutely amazing....can I ask a question?I have a second hand Chimera 7 w 1300Kv motor...like your. Can I ask what timing have u set with blheli32? TIA

[@jc4evur661]

Such a glorious flight! Such an inglorious landing! 😄

[@elingefpv6259]

Nice video, whatching the telemetry is better..... and that mountain is really wonderful !

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thanks! Yeah can’t wait to go back during summer 🙌

[@vexunaerials7185]

That was epic! I gained some adrenaline during your flight!

[@ArgonautasDrone]

Sensacional, imagens fantásticas... 🇧🇷

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Obrigado 🙌

[@gregorytvids]

You rock! Epic snow ridge proximity surfing, I wonder what was the wind (km/h) up there? Definitely on the edge taking it so close. I also like nice approach and touch down on pillow! Your flights are really something special! Also again great narration and video editing explaining all little (but sometimes crucial) details about long range mounting surfing. Congrats and looking forward for your next endeavors!

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thank you again for watching and giving feedback! Yeah you could really feel the wind in the way the drone was behaving when reaching the top! I have my camera mounted underneath so I have to be careful when landing! I´ll try and be more consistent in my uploading.

[@illuminatorix]

Hello! This terrain is so beautiful and scary :P May I ask, why only 12 min flight time with 8.000 mah lions?? I only ask because I see videos with way more flight time! Thanks!!!

[@ArcticriderFPV]

You may ask 😄 Do they also climb 1500 meters with full size gopro and travel at 90km/h? Also temperature and wind will cause differences in flight time. I could føy longer as I have 1000-2000mah left kn the packs but I was pretty much done flying when I had returned, always better to have some left than not making it back :)

[@illuminatorix]

@@ArcticriderFPV Ohh I see I see!!!! Yeah I know it's not only about numbers but circumstances too!!

[@ianvixtw]

Pretty cool, nice view

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thanks! 🙌

[@huzafah_]

Love it man! Would u think any of the latest DJI Goggles could perform like this today?

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Haven´t tried but I´ve seen people go even further with the O3 system.

[@in2theair67]

Great and nice flight 😍 What is this beautiful OSD ? I never see anyone like that. Is it a post product added ?

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thank you, yes I used the data from the goggle DVR and my GoPro and used Telemetry Overlay to get all this in my video.

[@LifeofAccro]

Nice looong flight....i agree gopro appnis still spotty 10yrs later always had issues.... A safe bet for pure sunny days is 4k60, 120 shutter speed, iso max 600, under expose -.5 and an ND32.... Should be good for bright snow on one side and shade on the other side...

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thanks! Yeah I couldn’t even access the settings (back screen is broken and app didn’t work!) My own fault for not being patient enough for it to connect properly😅 Thanks for the tip! 🙌

[@LifeofAccro]

@@ArcticriderFPV ah bad news no back screen, haha ive cracked 2 screens due to fpv =P you need gopro labs installed on it then! scan a QR code for your settings!

[@ArcticriderFPV]

@@LifeofAccro haha yeah my first cracked screen on my 9 I made a naked GoPro. I have a new screen for the 11 waiting to be installed, need to get to it one of these days. I do have labs on all my gopros, mostly for the larger file sizes, so I tend to dorget I can do adjustments with the QR codes

[@javes2477]

the amazing distance that it can reach with good signal is also because of your controller radio ? like tango 2 pro really helps in distance ? thanks

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Yes, but also no. With normal DJI controller, as long as I have video I should also have signal for the controller. But with crossfire I have a stronger signal for the controller, so if I lose video I should still have control signal with crossfire/tango 2.

[@javes2477]

@@ArcticriderFPV I didn't expect you would reply. appreciate your help in my decision. thank you very much master! I would invest in the future in crossfire I think. thank you very much

[@ArcticriderFPV]

@@javes2477 can’t go wrong with crossfire! Enjoy flying and post videos 🤩

[@TenguFPV]

Very nice! Beautiful flight and your commentary made it interesting. How did your get your osd to look like that? The colorful bars for video and link looks amazing.

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Hey thanks! My OSD looks like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLaZnqsfLqZoqM What you see in the video is me using the data from my goggle dvr and GoPro, putting it into a program called Telemetry Overlay and making these bars and data fields.

[@kakafpv]

Beautiful flight

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thank you 🤘

[@src2920]

It's so awesome 🎉 How did you get the osd on the side with those colored battery and Mbps bars? Are you using wtfos?

[@ArcticriderFPV]

This overlay is made in editing on my Mac using a program called telemetry overlay. For my WTFOS display please Watch my other videos

[@fpvmusicsounds7650]

Hello, great flight! what a pity about GoPro settings.:)

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Yeah shit happens! At least I had the OSD! Will do this flight again when the snow melts :)

[@amigosdamontanhafpv]

Very Nice LR.. I Love It. How did you put the telemetry in the Video? I'm using V2 googles and O3.. and I didn't find way to insert the telemetry in the videos 😢

[@ArcticriderFPV]

In this video I am using Telemetry overlay, it takes data from the GoPro and goggle DVR subtitle file, and you can put in gauges and datafields. I have no experience with the O3 air unit unfortunately.

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Also thank you :)

[@pottyputter05]

I went analog for my first fpv mainly bc of the price on top of the already large amount spent on all the stuff I need to jump right in. Maybe it wasn't smart but I don't think it is a huge mistake considering even if somehow the goggles became useless which they won't, I'll have spent only about $100 on them. I also dk how many options there are bc I only ever see dji for HD

[@ArcticriderFPV]

@@pottyputter05 i went straight to DJI, it was the only proper HD option at the time, now we have Walksnail, HDZero and DJI. Also buying into this hobby for the first time if going digital can be quite expensive!

[@alexelberg]

Another breathtaking flight! :) Did you have some fun with the 5 inch in the back? Any footage?

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Thank you! I have more fun with the 7" tbh, but yeah it was fun enough. Have to check, was using my Caddx peanut but footage aint the best, might upload if it’s usable :)

[@rubengarciajr7560]

That’s just insane, bruh.

[@Wild__FPV]

Awesome, I had a blast watching this! I'm actually looking to get this drone too, so could you fill me in on the radio you're rockin'? Is it the Zorro? Or something else? Are you using the Ranger Nano module?

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Hey! Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply! I am flying with a Tango 2 crossfire controller, with a diversity crossfire nano receiver, I wouldn’t trust anything more than this. I Also have a TX16S with a crossfire module that I haven’t really been using much. Tango is so small and convenient

[@GiantAntCowboy]

Yea, GoPro settings on sunny days in snowy mountains is always tricky. GoPro app is annoying, half the time I just look at the GoPro screen. Point at the brightest thing around me and expose for that. I’m actually down in the Møre og Romsdal region. I’ve actually been thinking hard about making an under frame GoPro Mount. Nice flight, the DJI is so nice looking, but the system also make me nervous for this sort of flight. Cheers bud!

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Yeah I love having more real estate up top for batteries 😄 Also my rear screen is broken! 😂 Hard to see on the front screen, but I got lazy and wanted to fly! Thanks! Fine plasser å fly i Møre Romsdal! Got to get south and west and fly sometimes! Maybe next year 😄

[@GiantAntCowboy]

@@ArcticriderFPV let me know. I dream of going north, the Lofoten area is amazing.

[@5338shawn]

your OSD is is the wtfos.if it is was it hard to set up?

[@ArcticriderFPV]

No, the data you see in this video is from the GoPro and the goggles. In this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLaZnqsfLqZoqM I am using the WTFOS. Setting up WTFOS is not very hard, their website is really easy to use.

[@AmisCorolla]

i have some trust issues too with a gopro. 😆😂😂

[@mihaibrrrr]

wow, great! I thought digital wasn't good enough for long range

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Oh the DJI system should be good for 12km out, I am mostly restricted by the battery. Would love to do a one-way flight and have someone where I land to change batteries or shut it down for me.

[@Jfercho]

Hola hermano, cómo logras tener ese OSD??

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Sorry I don’t understand spanish? Something about the OSD?

[@Jfercho]

@@ArcticriderFPV how do you have that OSD, I use Betaflight and don’t have that options and configurations

[@ArcticriderFPV]

@@Jfercho it’s not the OSD, what is in the video is from a program called Telemetry Overlay where I input data from my GoPro and DVR from goggles to make this info screen that you see.

What kind of loser sits around alone in a cold parking lot risking $5000 in gear like this, just to go up and look at snowy animal tracks?? A loser like ME, that's who! Sign me up, MAN this is a neat hobby. I thought I was learning and having fun with the DJI Avata, but I gotta get into this kit! Do you have a video where you explain what makes this possible? Thanks :)))

[@ArcticriderFPV]

Had me in the first half! Not gonna lie 😂 No unfortunately not, lots of useful videos out there and the drones and gear is constantly evolving. I will still reccomend crossfire for transmitter protocol and would probably go for air unit O3, but the original air unit is still holding strong. Also get a big lithium ion pack, I am currently flying 8000Mah 6S packs.

[@faceshipaerialvideos2508]

What is this OSD?

[@faceshipaerialvideos2508]

Never mind found your answer

[@thespiritstudio]

The Quick app is absolutely terrible.

[@naughtydog8579]

are you using anything to make the signal on your goggles better? i use to test my range on analog but i get pretty nervous when it starts to get blocky

[@ArcticriderFPV]

No just after market antennas, just make sure you have a functioning return to home/GPS rescue that you can activate in case of signal loss. Blocky video is also a nice indication for when signal is starting to fade, if you know the terrain well you can tell if you are flying too low behind trees or passing behind rocks/buildings.
