Great video! Just a couple of tips for your osd: One: Add amp draw and compare that to your speed to deduce how much wind there is to see if its too much to go where you want. Its also helpful to see if you are overdrawing your battery. I noticed in one of your moz7 videos you were are very high throttle 70-80% for extended periods, and the battery you were using (a 8000 mah fullsend li-ion) could not handle that and it could lead to your battery degrading much quicker or even just falling out of the air (it's max current draw is 90 amps). Two: add "battery efficentcy" in betaflight. this will give you the number of mah you are using per km you are flying and it is extremely useful in long range. Three: in your osd tab change your osd format to HD which will give you full osd coverage on your whole screen (instead of it only covering the center of the screen and the edges are unreachable). Here is how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/3HGizguBXnw/v-deo.htmlsi=0AfFAJXZId0511Kn
@@Mike-jg9fp It is usually in C rating on the battery (for example most lipos are around 100C) So lets say a 1000mah lipo has a 100c rating you would just multiply 1000x100 giving you 100,000. Then you just take the first 3 digts of that I'm sure there's a more mathematical way but that is simpler and it gives you 100 amps of current draw. However on some batteries like the 8000Mah I mentioned it actually says 45A max current on the back of the battery AND on the website. Since it is a li-ion and not a li-po this would be belivible if not for the fact that is is in 6S2P configuration, meaning there are 6 cells in series and 2 cells wired in parallel. For all batteries that don't specify this they are 6S1P meaning their current draw and capicy are limited to exactly the specifications of the battery cell which you can usually find out. However when there are 2 cells in parallel it effectively doubles the capacity and amp draw (so instead of there just being 6 cells in the battery there are actually 12 but it parallel makes it so that the voltage does not increase, only the capacity and the amp draw. It also doubles the time it takes to charge the battery safely). So with a quick google search you can find out what cell the battery has, look the cell up see what the amp draw is, and by doing that I found out the the CELL max amp draw is 45A so doubling that gives you 90A. *Oh god what have I written...*
@@Mike-jg9fp TLDR: The C rating on a battery tells you its current draw (amps) by multiplying the battery capacity by the C rating. For example, 1000mAh at 100C gives 100 amps. In a 6S2P Li-ion battery, the parallel cells double the capacity and amp draw. So, a battery with 45A per cell in 6S2P gives you 90A total.
I really hope the battery tech for fpv improves soon, we need to have as least double if not triple the capacity of those battery we have now. I mean these type of flight is not too far, but once you make the flight to the spot then there is not much juice left to do exploring. Compare to drones like marvic 3, it can probably fly there and explore around for 20 mins. I'm wondering why can't some of the battery tech from EVs get transferred to FPV
I am always wondering, is it really ? Cause you add more power and stability to more surface and weight you have to pull through. With my tern lr 40 I was able to go 25 minutes hovering, 20 minutes flight, and also am still quite stable in windy conditions... but with my gopro (naked 90 gram) flight time droped to 12 minutes, and I am always a bit worried in very windy conditions... But I am still not sure if a 7 inch or 10 inch is really better, looking at most moz7 videos, they also only fly 10 minutes plus and are battered by wind heavily... So would a chimera or crocodile really be a big advantage ? Looking for 20-30 minutes flight time with gopro and max stability in harsh conditions :-)
Awesome flight! Very nice to see you experimenting with LR flights! The Helion seems to be a best for LR. I really like the content and looking forward to see more of it!
I get a lot of vibrations on my Helion 10, did you do anything to reduce them or did it work out of the box? Edit: I am noticing you are actually getting vibrations too.
Epic footage xD I just recognized that the HD footage of the Googles look more sharp than the 4K footage. I wonder why the 4K footage is so "blurry" if you know what I mean...
Dude, I was about to start using my DJI controller instead of my Crossfire stuff (I've been a CRSF guy for years) simply because you seemed to be having so much success with it but I notice you're using your Tango 2 in this video. CRSF is obviously superior but the DJI option is just so damn convenient. I'm in the process of building a custom MOZ7 and think I'll be "responsible" and put CRSF in it. Low-key I'm super happy to see you using a Tango today so I can stop considering my DJI controller. 😂 Keep up the good work bro. I really look forward to your uploads.
I usually fly DJI - the only reason I don't with the helion is I wanted to try it out. It's been pretty much exactly the same so I'll probably switch it to DJI. I'd just go with what's easiest. If youre already on the tango no need to switch
The size of the helionX is just so intimidating and way way cooler. When you dont want it anymore just send it to me😂😂..kdding aside whats your cam angle when doing long cruise?
Ahhh man the Helion 10 is a long term goal! Only just started my FPV journey with the Avata 2. What set up would you recommend once the time comes as in controller and antenna etc?
Any tips for pilots with Integra goggles to get the best range out of a helion (or any other quad not using the stock DJI 03 air unit antennna)? On Integras we can't swap the foldable omni antennas and with aftermarket antennas on the drone it doesn't work well. Best combo would be to use that stock DJI antenna that comes with the 03 air unit but that one is super short.
Weird that you’re not getting good range. I use integra goggles + O3 stock and easily do 4 miles, haven’t gone further due to battery. You must have clear LOS
Uallll, amazing video as usual. For sure, I will think about to acquire a “big” drone as well. Quick question, do you think you can do the same flight long range with the Chimera 7 ?
Yes. Honestly having such a gigantic drone like a helion is overkill and a pain to travel with. With 8000 Mah Fullsend Li-ions from iflight I have done 16km round trips (8 km there and back) plus an extra 2500m going up a mountain and I had battery to spare.
Yes without doubt a 7" handles. I own both. The 10" is benefits in windy condition. For example in the mountains. You consider 10" once you have to deal with wind. I promise 😂 the extra weight gives stability.
Far too epic and awesome to be legal. Fantastic mate!

Wow 😮 gorgeous. 10 inch is the best choice for windy condition. That's why I love a big drone for exploring a mountain

Thanks for uploading! Great video! 💢👍👍
Majestic country, majestic place, majestic flight 👌
It really is
Hello, it is a very exciting flight. It would be very helpful if you could make a video about the helion setup settings.
Awesome flight! Very nice to see you experimenting with LR flights! The Helion seems to be a best for LR. I really like the content and looking forward to see more of it!
Very Nice spot to cruise! Beautiful captured.
Absolutely epic . You are blessed. Enjoy.
Juuussssst fanamatastic Danny, cmon the rainbow! Just As good as the Volcano yo !
Beautiful footage Danny
Always so jealous of your Iceland footage.
Great flights Danny! Last time I was in Iceland was before I flew drones, so its a real rush to see all these areas by drone, Cheers from Canada
You’ve just gotta go back 🤘🏽
Why did you use Tango 2 instead of DJI? Is it better in term, of connection?
Great video!!! can i ask you about the antennas on the goggles where i can buy this one?
Can you provide the details of the setup? Is there a Tango 2 + DJI O3, and what antenna is used?
I get a lot of vibrations on my Helion 10, did you do anything to reduce them or did it work out of the box?
Edit: I am noticing you are actually getting vibrations too.
Do you fly in acro mode or auto level mode? It looks really smooth when you turn around to see where you were.
Cool video 👍
Мне очень нравится Helion 10

Beautiful! How fast are you flying Danny? Average?
In your OSD are using DJI’s battery volt gauge? Is it fairly accurate to betaflights voltage gauge? Or do you use DJIs for the clean look on your OSD?
irmao sou fã dos seus videos .posso usar seus videos no meu canal sem problemas?
Grande!!!!❤
epic!
Amazing view & videos … subscribed for more 😊
Wow
The size of the helionX is just so intimidating and way way cooler. When you dont want it anymore just send it to me😂😂..kdding aside whats your cam angle when doing long cruise?
Ahhh man the Helion 10 is a long term goal! Only just started my FPV journey with the Avata 2. What set up would you recommend once the time comes as in controller and antenna etc?
I’d just keep the v3 controller and V3 goggles and buy a pre built drone from iflight. Thats what I use
Hello, what is the transmitter power output set for this flight?
Awesome Footage!
Thank you very much!
Any tips for pilots with Integra goggles to get the best range out of a helion (or any other quad not using the stock DJI 03 air unit antennna)?

Weird that you’re not getting good range. I use integra goggles + O3 stock and easily do 4 miles, haven’t gone further due to battery. You must have clear LOS
@@MirAviation I said not using the 03 stock antenna. On a LR or even a 5" cinematic rig i'd prefer having a longer size antenna on the quad
bro honest question - does the signal coming into the goggles's anthena's feel like it's melting your brain and eyes?
are you using the firmware bf 4.5 rc1 ? still have some jello on mine.
did you turn off rocksteady in the 03 unit?
Try stabilizing in gyroflow. That helped mine a ton
@@Mcgeee its while im flying its extremly rocky ^^ but thanks for tip
Geweldig super

@@VogxelFPVi agree 👍 8000mah on 7" about 20-25mins flight time on cruising speed
@@Michelsen3K i mean when i did those flights they were only actually like 15 minutes but yes
Yep for sure can use the chimera for that. I just love the extended battery life that the Helion gives
great video. one thing is it would be nice if at times you got rid of your pov and just let us see the go pro for a second.
