    The bank to the butte at 2:22 was so sick. What a formation! I can't wait to graduate to afford to make a drone to do this 😍

      There's never a better time to join the hobby in my opinion despite the increasing legal backlash. Hardware and flight software is extremely mature. Digital live video is incredible. The copter I used here is a 7" QAV-S frame using DJI video and combined with 6-cell 3Ah LiIon battery with low kv motors and TBS crossfire, I get 10-15 minutes of cruising at 35-40 MPH out to 2-3 miles and flies extremely smooth and precise. Perfect for people like me that just like to explore at range. The circuit I flew here was 3.7 miles and only used half the flight battery! FPV is really amazing now.

      @@RoadTripFPV indeed, I made a comprehensive excel/google sheet of every component from your other vid. The total was about 2k. As soon as I get a career job I’ll pull the trigger

    What drone are you using. I have the DJI AVATA FPV. I am having a blast. Nice video

      Its battery capacity that's the limit now with Crossfire and quality antenna. If I cruise 40-45 MPH like this I can go out comfortably a mile and a half using just under half the 6S 3Ah li-ion battery and keep the video about six minutes. Max that I ever do is 12 minutes of flight time carrying a GoPro at that speed using 2/3rds of a 6S 3Ah li-Ion pack. The furthest out I've ever gone with a copter is five miles for a twenty minute flight time... analog video, 6S 3Ah li-ion, no gopro keeping it light. Copters are quite capable now.

    Nice one! Still using a tracking setup for the video and/or tx signal?

      No, just messing around with some old equipment and deciding if I should toss it. The tracker works in a wing and its not necessary anymore. My copters are all digital fpv now.
