Just start skydiving. Thats little above usual exit altitude on a turboprop plane even though they can go higher. Over 5K oxygen comes handy if you have to stay there longer than few minutes.
@@Tavarahissi I love skydiving but it is quite a bit more expensive while being a lot less enironmentally friendly, not to mention way more dangerous of course. And in the end you only go down. The amazing part about fpv flying is that you have the feeling that you can go anywhere! It's absolutely sensational!
Didn't expected that the DJI FPV would be that stable with turned off motors ! Although not intended this seems to be the result of its special aerodynamic design together with its low center of gravity. So basically the altitude you can reach with given battery capacity plus a small reserve for landing defines the maximum altitude you can fly. Awesome !
@@utahflying2478 I believe DJI uses their own version of "air mode," where when you cut the throttle to zero, the motors are still spinning at idle, and the flight controller is working with the gyro to keep it stable. If you actually disarm the motors, it should tumble and fall out of the sky like you've seen.
Its not turned off but on landing mode and drone is shaking as hell. If you look to regular fps drones for a fraction of price, they are way more stable when you landing like this ..

very good flying, my compliments. I especially was impressed by your idea to cut the throttle as you were descending, to save power. I'll have to experiment with "prop feathering" myself, but from a much lower altitude. Other people who make flight test limits videos, never have a plan for the low battery situation but you did! I would also point out to people wanting to test horizontal range limits to always egress against the wind and ingress (returning) with the wind.

That is a good point. Especially since at higher altitudes like that, it gets very cold. Depending on the time of day, location, starting altitude relative to sea level, and weather, small amounts of icing forming on the motors and electronics could be possible. Especially with flying directly through the very moist clouds.
@@dmitry3 you cant you can only change it to 500(max) or anything lower. Maybe its because its not legal to go higher or it’s restricted in my country(South Africa) but you cant make it anything higher than 500.

Just curious I have one and the 500m kicks in , does it let you acknowledge and bypass? Plus for those that don’t know the drone notifies you when a plan is nearby I think it pings their transponders, I’ve seen this when flying below 400’ but when planes come by general vicinity.

mind blowing, bravo!! how you disable the auto RTH at this altitude. ??i have done the drone hack arready, but at 1700mts the baterry is 50pc and the autolanding started. how you override this? sugestions. thanks a lot.
You can just go up even more and override auto land in older software it was that case. Because the air gets thinner the engines need to do more rpm and the drone calculates a wrong battery drain for the rth and starts to early with landing.

Yeah no this absolutely wasn't kosher. Cool video, but they don't even have a second operator which is a requirement for basic FPV flight at any altitude. Also, the drone could have hit icing conditions going through the cloud layer and been impossible to recover. Edit: this wasn't flown in the US so the requirements I'm familiar with don't apply. Still, the risk of icing should be kept in mind
But how were you able to circumvent the height limitations? I want to fly up mountains but they are higher than 500m. Is there some kind of hack or alternative firmware you were using?
You’re able to go up to X, height depending on your local laws. For example you’re able to go up X altitude from ground level. If you’re using a mountain as an example that is 400m and local law states 500m is the maximum for flying a done, and if you place your drone directly upon it’s peak and wanted to go higher you would legally be able to be flying 900m. Drop the slope and your altitude must drop to meet regulations. Everything is situational.
@@stantonsellers2137 I thing you are wrong, the 500meter altitude is not based on local laws, but a limit coded in firmware (you can configure less max altitude, but not altitude abobe 500m). It's truth that altitude is fixed based in home point, not distance to ground. I have the same question as @MBUG, how they get to go so high?
Nice work!!! I have the dronehack which let me go as far as yours but I have a big problem with the critical low battery warning of DJI which don´t let me go higher and this (I researched) can not be switched off. I tried it with different modes N, S, and also M but because of this failure (critical low battery warning which don´t let me go higher). Is there a trick or is it because of the low temperatures which could hurt the battery in this hight ( up to -20°C) ???
after switch off the motors -> HOW TO START THE MOTORS MID FLIGHT?! tried it in manual mode (singel/double tapping) with no luck :( I think this would be essential to know for such a flight...
I am amazed you got that high and back again on these batteries.. what was your total actual flying time? I got worried when I saw the contrails.... amazing footage though.. up and down
Was any modifications done to the transmitter or goggles to achieve this height? As I've just bought one but living in England with the weather I doubt mine would survive 😂
I had wondered when someone would take the FPV all the way up! 😄 was there a lot of paperwork to fill for authorities to allow it? gotta say it holds up VERY well for it's design.
Yesterday I finally ordered one, 5 years ago I discovered the fvp drones, they fascinated me, but shortly after I discovered the long range, it was then when I really fell in love, it's like a dream come true, fly freely through the skies or wherever you want and forget about everything, I have had dreams in which I fly, for me it's like daydreaming.
Not everywhere you can fly freely most parks you can't and like I soon discovered I live within 5 miles of JFK airport, my DJI won't let me take of anymore, it restrict my flying due to been so close to the airport. It also restrict my flying by police or fire departments that have heli pads, I'm dinding it hard to fly my drone in NYC haven't flown it in one & a half years to much BS regulations, I love the scenery plus used mine after winter or wind syores to check out damage on my houses.
@@partytoy1 I faced an issue with my air2s, it took off..and flew a little far..and when I tried RTH, It started going away from me, and so I had to manually return, even then, it was refusing to move near to me after a certain distance..keep floating on air but not coming near to me...we couldnt land because it was on edge of a mountain tip... and then we connected to my friend's iphone, it suddenly started working and we landed it...ever since that incident..Am bit scared flying it away 😥
@@IronManFPV Don't mix one thing with other very different responsibility. you know how heavy is that drone easy will bring down any aircraft not to mantion the souls on it.
That was fun to watch, the height was surprising(the music reminded me not to put background music in videos because it makes people click the next button)
Wow wow wow wow!!! Great view, and good thing you've take some cautions on this flight considering being at sight of an airport. Wow again. I Couldn't do that. Good thing to know that FPV is able to do this.
That is amazing, I never thought a mulitrotor (let alone a racing quad) can get that high, only fixed wing. Been proven wrong! I did a 4.2km climb with my flying wing some years ago. Now I will have to beat your record again! Also for the confused and misled, this flight had an insignificant risk for manned aircraft, the FAA and CAA of various countries came to the same conclusion that the probability of radius intersect of two full aircraft with random flight paths are 70m:1. Also, any full scale aircraft with have to deal with 1m times more birds that are heavier before worrying about a single 15cm object.
Nope, you will have to deal with 5000m. In our in-house tests, we reached that altitude. We believe that 5500 could also be possible, but we will need to protect the battery from cooling for that and that sounds tedious :(
We've made all precautions, arranged this flight with authorities. For those concerned about aircraft contrails: we were expecting this plane to pass before our scheduled launch.

Look directly at the drone (aka look up), there are should be nothing between drone and you, not even trees, it also depends on the air humidity...
Only in US do you have full range. Unless hacked
@@daniel_960_ Proof about US? And yes, it's hacked obviously
@@IronManFPV EU Regulations don't let us to have that strong of a signal.
@@MultiPartis ah yes, forgot that EU is pu$$y
How did you unlock the altitude limit?
nolimitdronez
@@ChristianTheodorus909 nolimitdronez don't have the FPV hack on their site.
Obviously another way to hack the 500m max alt (from take off point)
You have to use the third mode which which no limit
Amazing video! How did you unlock the altitude limit for the experience ?
Ill second that question
I know how..just did it yesterday
@@27jezus and... ?
is there anyway you could make a video describing the process of getting the clearance to do this, aside from having the 107?
This video is really awesome. And how it work for breakthrough the high limit of DJI fpv?
I am amazed you got that high and back again on these batteries.. what was your total actual flying time? I got worried when I saw the contrails....
amazing footage though.. up and down
Visit my Channel for amazing Drone Videos :-)
Just curious, how you remove the DJI 500m altitude limit?
well, ya kinda need to hack their software
You don’t 😉
Hi, what's the point of going 4500m? Give me a sensible answer, thanks.
Its beautiful up here
And commercial aircrafts also lol
@@georgeschillinger6299 f*ck them, there’s more chance to win the lottery than hit one with any drone
What's the point of your question?
@@mikecomeau7419 You don't answer a question with another question, it means you don't have an answer, that's right!
damn, even got permission from that airport down there?
that's sick, awesome video haha
Was any modifications done to the transmitter or goggles to achieve this height? As I've just bought one but living in England with the weather I doubt mine would survive 😂
The descent at the end was worth it :) I was surprised that this flight was approved, with two airports so close by.
I seen the landing strips. and DJI had to unlock the geo wall for the fpv to climb that high
@@Bamafpv how do I unlock the geowall
@@Bamafpv yeah screw dji
I had wondered when someone would take the FPV all the way up! 😄 was there a lot of paperwork to fill for authorities to allow it? gotta say it holds up VERY well for it's design.
Nope
I'd just go do it who's gonna stop you out in boonville
Yeah I’m thinking he’s full of shit about the permission part 😂
I think it hit the dome.
That was magnificent.
Wow most amazing video I have seen.
Yesterday I finally ordered one, 5 years ago I discovered the fvp drones, they fascinated me, but shortly after I discovered the long range, it was then when I really fell in love, it's like a dream come true, fly freely through the skies or wherever you want and forget about everything, I have had dreams in which I fly, for me it's like daydreaming.
Mr Wick, hope you are not in Europe, because in EU the radio power is cut in 4-5 times (?) because of local laws...
@@IronManFPV That's too bad, fortunately I'm not there, thanks for letting me know anyway.
hey, I am a beginner here...what is the maximum range of battery in these fpv?...my air2s is hardly giving 25mins
Not everywhere you can fly freely most parks you can't and like I soon discovered I live within 5 miles of JFK airport, my DJI won't let me take of anymore, it restrict my flying due to been so close to the airport. It also restrict my flying by police or fire departments that have heli pads, I'm dinding it hard to fly my drone in NYC haven't flown it in one & a half years to much BS regulations, I love the scenery plus used mine after winter or wind syores to check out damage on my houses.
@@partytoy1 I faced an issue with my air2s, it took off..and flew a little far..and when I tried RTH, It started going away from me, and so I had to manually return, even then, it was refusing to move near to me after a certain distance..keep floating on air but not coming near to me...we couldnt land because it was on edge of a mountain tip... and then we connected to my friend's iphone, it suddenly started working and we landed it...ever since that incident..Am bit scared flying it away 😥
Thank you, because of people like you our hobby is under scanner of law and stricter regulations.
you are welcome
also it's because of me you need to get a drivers license too :)
@@IronManFPV Don't mix one thing with other very different responsibility. you know how heavy is that drone easy will bring down any aircraft not to mantion the souls on it.
@@piloto5248 Did you even read the description?
Did you even read the description?
That’s super impressive that it can reach that far
it can go further, 7km LOS
@@SteeveEfnet how
bro dont they hav a 500 limit ???
@@mrkillzzx558 that can be removed
Did it accend to 4500m from sea level? The max altitude i could accend to safely with enough battery charge left to land is less than 2000m
Como desbloqueia o drone pra voar nessa altitude?
Amazing footage, very relaxing on the freefall.
Wow! Cool! You are crazy! How your drone can do that?
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Take a look at this video it will give you indirect response … :) ua-cam.com/video/YshG1OTzJGk/v-deo.html
Esse vai até 10km de distância eu acho
Is it hard to get the quad to start engines again while falling? Cause this is genius
No It's easy. The Gyro will do it's work and straight it out withing half of a second :)
How to restart motors if shut off in air
@@MarztechRacing Make sure you quad arming angle is on 180 degrees
That was fun to watch, the height was surprising(the music reminded me not to put background music in videos because it makes people click the next button)
Sick footage!
Imagine if there was a reverse charge feature that could charge up the battery from the propellers rotating in free fall
There is tho
@@biozidazad698 That's amazing then!
Outstanding idea
No, not possible, don’t listen to trolls, they’ll have you putting a wind turbine on your car.
@@biozidazad698 not currently
2:20 Nice view of the airport runway.
Another airport 2:47
Awesome stuff , would love to see a DJI drone go even higher ,possibly almost space :)
Haha! Space = 100.000 meter... so it's 95 500 meters left... Keep going :)
There is one video 8km+-
The only way you could get that is by putting one on a big weather balloon lol
The air gets too thin for rotary wing drones pretty quickly
That was freaking awesome!
Mate this is sick!!!!
Dont let the FAA seeing this.. XD
I was about to say that 😂
No worries this is a fake video. I knew it as soon as I saw the horizon. We all know the real earth is flat ✌
In the pinned comment he says that they checked with the authorities before hand and they gave him the go ahead. So it was all legal
this is not murica
@@JesseGudgeon2007 haha, yeah course they did
Wow wow wow wow!!! Great view, and good thing you've take some cautions on this flight considering being at sight of an airport. Wow again. I Couldn't do that. Good thing to know that FPV is able to do this.
That is amazing, I never thought a mulitrotor (let alone a racing quad) can get that high, only fixed wing. Been proven wrong! I did a 4.2km climb with my flying wing some years ago. Now I will have to beat your record again!
Also for the confused and misled, this flight had an insignificant risk for manned aircraft, the FAA and CAA of various countries came to the same conclusion that the probability of radius intersect of two full aircraft with random flight paths are 70m:1. Also, any full scale aircraft with have to deal with 1m times more birds that are heavier before worrying about a single 15cm object.
Nope, you will have to deal with 5000m. In our in-house tests, we reached that altitude. We believe that 5500 could also be possible, but we will need to protect the battery from cooling for that and that sounds tedious :(
@@IronManFPV Would like to see a YT video of...
Yeah, but the birds are flesh and bone, very light bone. Not plastic and metal with lithiumion battery inside them.
@@IronManFPV a lightweight insulation material like polyiso foam or aerogel would be good at keeping the battery pack warm
That is awesome! I wish the video was streaming back telemetry so we could see the decent rate.
You are a very Naughty Boy . I very much dough you got permission for doing this!. PS LOVED IT!
