Avalanche caught CLOSE-UP by FPV drone - Long range mountain surfing in 4k

Рет қаралды 1,296,569

Жыл бұрын

We were out for a day of long range mountain surfing in British Columbia on Vancouver Island with our long range drones (that we build ourselves), hoping to get some nice cinematic footage. There was a "severe avalanche warning" a couple of days prior, but things seemed to have calmed down. Just when were were getting ready to leave, I looked up and saw a huge avalanche coming down the mountain right in front of us! I scrambled to get a battery on my long range FPV drone, fumbled with my GoPro, and booked it out towards the mountain as fast as I possibly could. I got there just in time to see an absolutely scary amount of snow from an avalanche hitting the bottom of the mountain. What looks like water in this video is actually a huge amount of snow, with some chuncks as big as my truck.
Since I had the goggles on, I couldn't see what was goin on around me, and I was pretty paranoid about the avalanche coming down the mountain, through the valley and up the other side where we were sitting, all without me knowing. I was also worried that the road would get obliterated and we'd be stuck way out in the back country. Luckily, it wasn't even close.

@@oldmech619 3 years ago I scored on clearance at Target the original DJI Mavic Pro 4K drone and it’s little brother the DJI Spark, for $425 and $199 which was a steal. Both of them absolutely blew my mind, it is one of the best purchases of my life and one of few that truly “does everything they said it does”. It is completely mind blowing to fly 1-3 miles away completely out of sight and be watching a nice big HD video feed on my iPad, and be able to press 1 button and hands free these things will fly themselves home and land on their takeoff point with accuracy the size of a license plate. Exactly like a SpaceX rocket booster returning to its pad. And my drones are several generations old (not that they’ve had any major evolutions since then, just incrementally longer range, flying time, and video bitrate.) If you ever thought about getting one, do it! You don’t have to drop 2 Grand on the latest model. Tons of used kits out there. Also my biggest fear was always to crash and lose my investment. Well I can say now you have to be foolish/reckless to do that. These drones are Damn reliable as long as you follow the rules of flying responsibly and stop yourself from getting carried away taking risks.

@@steiner554 - I'm not sure what he's flying, but the farthest I ever took one of my DJI drones was a bit over 3 miles out over flat ground. I gained quite a bit of extra range by installing little plastic dishes over the antenna with foil on them. That made the antenna more directional than omnidirectional, but gave them more power in that direction. I'd imagine with actual custom equipment one could go quite a bit farther, though battery life would become an issue. At 3 miles out and back with minimal wind I still only had about 20% battery life left.

outstanding footage and flying skills, as a DJI pilot, I cannot get how hard it is to fly this way! Amazing range!

Are you a DJI FPV Pilot per chance? I have the Mavic Pro and Spark which obviously maintain level flight at all times unless you enable FPV mode but even then they travel along a horizontal axis of perfectly flat altitude. I have been extremely curious how different it feels to pilot one of these true FPV drones that is entirely untethered from gravity.

Mostly just impressed with your range and battery.

The Thomas Jefferson quote of “I'm a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” Thanks for all the hard work that went into capturing this great piece of luck. This is absolutely cutting edge cinematography.

The little man inside is very brave. All it takes is for one rotor to malfunction and the wee pilot would be sent into the depths of the glacier ! Yet another unsung hero, doing their best to keep us entertained and fuzed to the couch. Thanks little guy !

All I can say is wow. Good timing to be there at that time, thanks for capturing and sharing in such a cool way. Had no idea those fpv drones could range all the way up to the top there. Very interesting to see how an av of that scale moves through the land at this time of year.

Thanks so much! I was definitely pretty mesmerized while I was flying - so much so that I kept forgetting to concentrate on not crashing :)

@@MactacFPV Well I'm no fpv guy but I could tell the flying was spot on. Really added to the suspense with how close you came to the few things. Good stuff👍

This is complete Discovery Nature/National Geographic/The Nature Channel material, which you will licence and sell on sight to those producers ! Congratulations ! You guys know what the heck you're doing, and it's professional work, far above all the drone shit shots out there on the Internet. 👌😃 Get thy footage to National Geographic for your future Emmy Award winning nature program. 👀👍🌷
