How do you walk around with those huge diamond plated steel balls bro?? Great seeing you pushing the range envelope man… 8km on a quad is nothing to be scoffed at, for real. How good is that buzz after you land having achieved the range you set out to do 💪
Over the Ocean? OK that took balls! Much respect! BTW… Killer battery, I use one on my AOSUL7… Pick up a couple VAS helicals…🙄 The thrill and enthusiasm jumped through the screen… An accurate representation of what it is like to pull off a daring LR flight! 🔥
8k over the ocean already had me gritting my teeth haha. the battery is an absolute brick. great flight. all the hd videos are contently getting more impressive
Static was always somewhat present but one great advantage i noticed as someone who flies only DJI is that your OSD info wasn't ever covered up by the break-up. In theory you could fly it back blind. I cant really say thats possible with analog or DJI without taking a risk of using autonomous flight. Correct me if I'm wrong
@Comster FPV They made a 3w analog a lil while back. Great quality but harder to find in the US. Tossed one to Bot while rippin Nevele Resort this winter in hopes to see what he can pull off wit it 😀
Bro you are killing it every video. This was pretty epic. You have that 7" flying really good now. I looked up the battery cells in that pack and the "discharge cut off voltage" is 2.5V. So you still had a bit of juice in the tank, despite the wind (you landed at 3.56V) PS - the cells "nominal voltage" is listed at 3.6V.
Top tip for landing on sand, disarm and drop from a height, you don't want to come down near the sand with props spinning, this blows the sand up and it is cycled round up and over you quad and in to your motors and everything. The height you need to disarm at will depend on prop size and weight of quad, I just disarm at about 5 feet high with my 5 inch, it just lands flat on the sand an doesn't get in the motors. If you use a high camera angle you can switch to angle mode to get it flat and level then disarm.
Yo my homie, first congrats, epic (long) flight! However you gotta add a couple OSD elements: ‘Amp Draw’ & ‘mAh Used’. Throttle position and mAh/km are also nice… but the other two are almost mandatory for long-range with Li-ion packs! Anyway nice video, great family fun, two enthusiast thumbs up! Cheers!
great stuff, not just the 8km the whole vid rocked. flyin out to see is just horrifying, the wind over the sea is always faster, and the lack of visual input for direction must have been mesmerizing. its good to have a co-pilot just calmly reading your stats out loud, cause you kinda have to just fly the telemetry, great job. best i've done is a half mile with a 5 inch and i swear i drew blood on the sticks. youre ready for the mountains.
That was awesome! I have a Flywoo Nano Baby which I took to the beach the second-ever time I flew it…straight into the sand several times. Just blew out the sand and kept flying.
That's awesome 8km congrats bro. I'm stoked for the 10km flight. Couple more paychecks and I should be up and flying. It's killing me being responsible and not just buying everything I need at once
HDZero for the win. I'm very happy with it. I also have two flights on a 7" Walksnail quad. It made it to 500 meters and then just dropped the video link in clear line of sight without warning. Can't trust that system and gps on walksnail is a must, because you never know when GPS-Rescue has to save your ass. Problem is, Walksnail kills GPS reception, so you also have to work around that as well. HDZero s'been solid so far.
you have to turn around once in a while to know what your signal is gonna be coming back, sometimes you can lose it when the antenna points away from you.
honestly in fpv you get what you pay for and going budget is only going to cost you alot more money and frustration in the long run, there are def ways to save money but i cant recommend using cheap parts, a good way to get flying fast is to just get a bind and fly micro or whoop and then build a nice 5" once your comfortable flying.
I'm at 10:09 and am excited for ya. I recall the 1st time you attempted long rang and it was nearly a disaster now 8k!! My heart rate increased a lot for you while watching. Well done beats my mid range stuff any day. Ok back to the video. Just had to stop and comment
Always wanted to build a long range plane to make VTX test videos over the ocean. Totally not the NJ ocean tho any ocean flight video was made in the Mexico ocean.
@BOTGRINDER, how did you managed to achieve so good GPS satellite 3D Fix? I see that you have no any shielding on wires going from FC to GPS module. I tried HDZero Freestyle VTX on 0 mW and my M10Q can't even get 5 sat lock.
Hey dude! Awesome content, this kind of gives us long range newbies the courage to keep pushing! I also had a question, should I put 4 patch antennas on my dji v2 goggles for lo ger range? I see you wear only patches, but i have no clue if that will work with the dji system. I currently have Lumenier AXII HD 2 Patch Visor, and it works great, but just wondering if 2 more patches is the way to go. Thanks bro!
Have you tried analog with HDZero goggles? How does the screens look in HDZero goggles compared to Orqa Pilots using Sharkbtye vrx? I have Pilots but am considering getting HDZero goggles.
That was ace and super entertaining thank you … thinking of doin same with walksnail from blackpool beach England 8.6k hope it works as well as your shit thanks again botty
Gym, Tan, Laundry, LongRangeQuadFlight. Bot on the Jersey Shore. Edit: Bot - you rock. Be proud - you’re a great pilot, journalist and entertainer or something like that. You do stuff that is legit good and sometimes important - for “the community”. That’s pride worthy.
"You can build your own drone too, so quit buying Nazguls" - Buying a prebuilt drone is like buying a pre-assembled lego spaceship dawg, like, where's the sense of ADVENTURE? lol
Bro, fly into the wind. The old school sails would explore the world into the wind....so if shit happens, you can turn around and make good speed for your return. chur chur mate.
Google search hdzero osd font and you should find a github with instructions and downloads for different fonts, I'm on mobile rn and being lazy lol or I'd link you.
Demibot back in stock!: bit.ly/3MBRlkE
My two worst fears, flying over water and miles out with a pretty nice quad! 😅 You did it with coolness. Lol
How do you walk around with those huge diamond plated steel balls bro??
Great seeing you pushing the range envelope man… 8km on a quad is nothing to be scoffed at, for real.
How good is that buzz after you land having achieved the range you set out to do 💪
Thank you for using kilometers! Greetings from Poland.
no problem!
Hahahahahaha
Yeah mate appreciate using metric measurements, I know Miles but we all use metric around the world@@BOTGRINDER
Polqnd has coast, it's nautical mikes, even in metric countries ;-)
Over the Ocean? OK that took balls! Much respect! BTW… Killer battery, I use one on my AOSUL7… Pick up a couple VAS helicals…🙄 The thrill and enthusiasm jumped through the screen… An accurate representation of what it is like to pull off a daring LR flight! 🔥
its a foam sandwiched frame, u just set a button to eject the battery and motors and call coast guard, lol
Thanks for making me unafraid to take my HDZero long distance!🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥
8k over the ocean already had me gritting my teeth haha. the battery is an absolute brick. great flight. all the hd videos are contently getting more impressive

YoooOoo, I can't wait to see if that AKK 3W can do 70Km! Great vid bro, see you soon
Soon! Got my aos 7" ready for it!
What's that? AKK is making a 3W HDZero vtx? Or analogue?
@Comster FPV They made a 3w analog a lil while back. Great quality but harder to find in the US. Tossed one to Bot while rippin Nevele Resort this winter in hopes to see what he can pull off wit it 😀
Put amp draw on your osd and fly at the speed where your amp draw is the lowest for max distance out of your li-ion
good looks

Love seeing you pushing the range of our Upgrade Energy packs! You made it out quite far!

You 3 are national treasures , had to say. Koodos for that sucessfull roundtrip tripple record break thats epic AF .

Amazing achievement Bot! Congrats on smashing your record! Also… Philly drone life… watta guy!
Nice. Plenty of battery left too, maybe get an mfd crossfire tracking station to rule out head movement and bang some big ass helicals on it too
🤬 awesome Bot!! I was certain you'd return back at like 2.7V. That's awesome man. Huge props!!🤙🏾
Raised to the heights of creativity in that one. You made my day.
I subscribed to your channel, now i can't fly while sober anymore.
Best drones yt channel!
Impressive distance Botgrinder! What a lovely day out at the beach. 🙃👍

Gratz Bot!! Nice feeling huh :D Now you gotta do 10 dude, gotta keep those numbers goin'!
you have to turn around once in a while to know what your signal is gonna be coming back, sometimes you can lose it when the antenna points away from you.
BOTGRINDER & the YACHTFINDER
Great to see your LR progress!
BG love your stuff. Can you please do a budget build/sourcing guide?
You've inspired me to make my first drone haha.
honestly in fpv you get what you pay for and going budget is only going to cost you alot more money and frustration in the long run, there are def ways to save money but i cant recommend using cheap parts, a good way to get flying fast is to just get a bind and fly micro or whoop and then build a nice 5" once your comfortable flying.
@@BOTGRINDERMakes sense, already found some sick BNFs that aren't too bad on my budget. Thanks for the reply!
@@loballd544 awesome! welcome to fpv!
Thanks for KMs! Smart
Awesome flight man! 8km is nuts!
Well done, kudos for flying over water, we know how much you hate it! My palms were getting sweaty (gross sorry) but that was tense!!! Great job Bot!
I'm at 10:09 and am excited for ya. I recall the 1st time you attempted long rang and it was nearly a disaster now 8k!! My heart rate increased a lot for you while watching. Well done beats my mid range stuff any day. Ok back to the video. Just had to stop and comment
hey thanks!! im still shaking from it haha
Man 8 Km out and 1.5 up hahah good stuff Bot
Impressive! I'm giving HD Zero another chance.
Dope! You're desk is cleaner than mine RN WTF...
Yes Botgrinder longrange 🔥
Keep it up!
Always wanted to build a long range plane to make VTX test videos over the ocean. Totally not the NJ ocean tho any ocean flight video was made in the Mexico ocean.
“5.5mi for you Americans… oh wait I’m American” 😂😂😂
Thank's!!! Antenas on quad?? 😮

Hell yeah Bot!! Smash dem range records!
Damn straight for whip antennas😂😂😂
Was probably ken heron exploring the elephant 😅
Have you tried analog with HDZero goggles? How does the screens look in HDZero goggles compared to Orqa Pilots using Sharkbtye vrx? I have Pilots but am considering getting HDZero goggles.
It looks great when it works, the analog side is messed up for alot of folks right now
That was ace and super entertaining thank you … thinking of doin same with walksnail from blackpool beach England 8.6k hope it works as well as your shit thanks again botty
these long range are epic! 20km miles next time? also you gotta go high up flat earther, get the signal around the bend of the earth
What if our quads dabbed with us before they went up in the air...would they follow all of our stick inputs?
The static did not affect the osd elements?
The color font in the osd is awesome.
Where do I get those swim shorts?! I need them ASAP
The fact you drifted with the wind so much seems you could have got a lot further with them directional antenna bet you can do 11k
Botgrinder needs a fixed wing!
Good stuff Bot!
Respect to you! Nice flight!
That was cool as hell - kudos man
So sick man, am excited to build a long range setup soon!
it can be really relaxing or really stressful haha

Love OSD fonts
i use bubble gum to get the sand out of my motors...just pop off the bell, blow some bubbles, and then gum out the sand....
Congratulations Botgrinder 👏🎊🎉💐💖🤓
thank you!
Bot, will your metal bull ring help or hinder the long range radio reception? Hummm?
I get an extra 2kms with this bad boy
@@BOTGRINDER dude, that's not to be sniffed at!
@@Sp3ktral22 right? you sure hit that one on the nose.
Still waiting for my HD-Zero order.. probably should have waited for local dealer to have them in stock.
Dang that was awesome dude!!!
Damn i didnt know HDzero was this capable in terms of distance
those shorts are SICK!
"You can build your own drone too, so quit buying Nazguls" - Buying a prebuilt drone is like buying a pre-assembled lego spaceship dawg, like, where's the sense of ADVENTURE? lol
huge balls bro omg
Well done Bro☆
Awesome!
That was sick! You shoulda gave Mikey a smack in the face for crashing that fucking Demibot, AGAIN! hahaha
Next time you go to the beach pick me up and lets fly some kites hahaha
WHats the name of the song in the beginning?
Well done OceanGrinder !
Bro, fly into the wind. The old school sails would explore the world into the wind....so if shit happens, you can turn around and make good speed for your return. chur chur mate.
I know but the ocean only goes one way so I had no choice haha
Put another vtx antenna on the front of the drone for your return trip.
Vtx only takes one antenna
Awesome video, well done!
Nice video 😊
How is it possible to have colourful number & lettes ?

@@BOTGRINDER Thank you m8. Got it already. Highly appreciated 🙏
😂 bro you're becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs always making me laugh sh*ts funny bro
So sick bot! One of the many reasons I'm a Patron!
I want to break my record now too 😂
Well done bro 🍻
Thank you homie!
i want to belive that the meeting with philly drones was not a montage jajja
tis is totally sick.. ❤😄👍
great!
yeah flying long range is cool and all....but where tf can i get me a pair of those botgrinder swim trunks 😱😱
once i find a manufacturer to do them for under $50 im going to have them up
I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.
rippin a dab watching this
That was far af man, next is farther than fuk!
You had way more life left in that battery
love it. send it'
What are the dimensions of that pack?
bit.ly/3MKsyfC its big
Should be using nautical miles over the ocean ;-)
you said tiny drone 😂😂 thats giant!!!
and hd zero 💪🏽💪🏽
0:55 I was about to say "I don't crash in the ocean every day..." but thats not what you were talking about, so nvm...
Wow
Can someone tell me how many bigmacs 8 kilometers is? I'm trying to convert this to an American measurement. Thanks
just did some rough math, about 79,000 big macs.
LETS GO!🤘😁
