Thank you :) Heh yea its up to some debate at the moment because its too complicated. The regulation is mostly the same as EU but we have some exceptions, like the 120 m rule is a bit more forgiving in the mountains. And there is a recreations flying club that has exceptions for FPV specific if your not flying commercially. luftfartstilsynet.no/en/ has most of what you need and www.safetofly.no/ has where you can fly, the main problems are airports under "Forbudsområder" and "Verneområder" the problem here is you need to check the specific area if there are rules for flying in that national park, they call it a motor vehicle.... And the ninox app can show if there are other flight restrictions in your area, like no flyzone because of military drills or princess weddings...

I am sorry to hear that, did it at least make a good video ? :) The parts are not compatible. Arms are different and the new camera is larger so no.

@@MountainSurfer thanks for the quick answer. What about the Chimera7 ECO?

Sorry but I don't know, I haven't seen the eco in person. Looks like its a adapted form of the pro.

Thank you :)

Thank you, looks like we share some interests :) Do you have any suggestions on where it might be interesting to fly ?

@@MountainSurferÅvasstinden is nice, they call it the Middagshornets big sister @ 1244m Molladalen / Ramoen off course.

@@NorwayHikesTrails Thank you. Looks like a nice randonee trip :) I have actually flown there th-cam.com/video/n_vBUEXZKro/w-d-xo.html . I have also been on Ramoen, but only brought a dji mini 3 pro.

Thank you, indeed but one can hope ^^

Thank you :) hehe maybe next time 😂

Thank you :)

@@TriangleMagics aye

It was a nice day 🙂

Hehe yea I dont want any bodypart even close to the 7inch, it will cut to the bone ^^ On manual it flies just fine, there are some odd behavior here and there. But mostly it's just nitpicking. It has it's character when flying but I never felt I was missing much, it feels light compared to my other li-ion setup with gopro. And the battery lasts a while. With custom you can pick whatever you want so you get whatever properties you want ofc. If that is 0.5inch more props then yea, you have alittle more thrust. But it's fine. You don't buy this if that is what you want. This is made for anyone to fly, and on normal mode its like flying with training wheels on. Great for exploring. And the 04 camera and system is great. I hope we get that soon for custom stuff.

Thanks 🙂 Yea, and almost 20c temperatures 👌 indeed 😁

@@MountainSurfer I know, up here as well. April is always nice here, taste of summer, but then by mid-May we often get cold & wet again.

@GiantAntCowboy hopeing for a good summer. Last year we had rain for almost all of it 😒

Yea 😂

The drone is fine, there was no damage👍 Thank you for your consern 😊

​@@MountainSurfer Thank you for confirming. If in case you need further assistance, please let us know. We're here to help.

Thank you. It has been a while since I built anything myself now, the prebuilt are cheaper and I don't have any good reason to build my own anymore. I can recommend the iFlight parts though they have a good QC.

Thank you :) The Chimera 7 is a good choice, it's great for transversing large areas :)

Absolutely, man! Your videos are the real deal - love the vibes. I've been rocking the DJI FPV for a while, but to snag those epic mountaintop shots, I practically had to be on a first-name basis with the summit, you feel me? 😅 The upside? Got the whole fam into hiking - even the wife and kiddo are hooked now! 🏔 But guess what's about to hit the scene? The Chimera 7! Taking that bad boy to the mountains for sure. Your footage keeps me stoked, dude. Major props! Can't wait for more killer content. Keep crushing it, my friend!@@MountainSurfer

@@Wild__FPV Yea i do know^^. That dji fpv drone is too restricted to do the things you want. It's great to combine FPV with hiking, I do it all the time :) I usually bring a chimera 5 if its not just a short trip, but I do drag the 7 with me if needed :) I hope you have great experience, and I hope you dont stop hiking :)

Oh yeah, the DJI FPV definitely has its quirks. Good for newbies, but gotta give credit where it's due. Chimera 5 and 7 are like the dynamic duo of the drone world - killer combo. Thinking about snagging another drone myself. Why Chimera 5, though? What's the secret sauce? Spill the beans on its comparative advantages, mate! As for hiking, ain't no chance I'm hanging up my boots as long as that drone's buzzing around. The other day, my kid's all, "When are we hitting the trails?" I hit her with the "Waiting on the drone" line, and she fires back with, "Skip the flying; I can't wait that long to hike!" :))) Hook, line, and sinker. She's as addicted as I am. But, you know, without the drone, it's like hiking without the view - just not the same thrill! Quick thing on the down-low - flew the DJI FPV mostly in ACRO mode, but I'd switch to Normal for landing. Now, with Chimera 7 on deck, any word on landing it in Normal mode? Can you flick that mode switch mid-air? Got me a bit on edge here.@@MountainSurfer

@@Wild__FPV Hehe. Well the C5 is a light weight drone designed for long range, both the advantage and the dissadvantage is the low weight. I can put a full gopro on it but it handles like a brick. If i fly with a naked gopro its good for cruising at low speeds. The C7 is a lot more stable in the air and handles wind a lot better, something that is critical in some of these mountains. It allso has alot more speed and can cruize comfortable in 120km/h. But the carry weight is almost a kilo pr battery and the packsize is huge with all the gear. The C5 i can carry along with a small ELRS remote and in a small backpack with no problem. About the modes. It's not really comparable the normal mode on DJI FPV and normal FPV drones. You can swith between them in air yes. There are Acro(rate), Horizon and Angle. But I havent used them for many years, Horizon is good for when you need to just hover and idle but I dont trust them. Airmode is the only thing i toggle manually exept from GPS return. Airmode makes the motors idle at low rpm so you still have control when you have no trust, so you can navigate in a dive. But it makes the landing gittery or jumpy so many toggle this manually. When landing i just usually just dissarm 3cm from the ground.

Sure. This was in Norway Ørsta, maps.app.goo.gl/tfm6U4W3VS34QKDZ7?g_st=ic i have alot of videos around these parts.

Right on! Thank you@@MountainSurfer

@@TheBigBowy np 👍

Thank you. We often forget living so close to it, but there are some truly wonderful places here. And I keep finding more and more hidden gems 😁

Thank you :)

It's a gopro 11 mini, with a ND8 on. They say the 12 has more range. But these lighting conditions are hard on anything. Had to throw away 3 other flights due to eider overexposed or underexposed. You can eider see the ground or the sky, and the snow makes it all shiny. Sometimes I'm tempted to just put it on auto and just send it.

🤔

This is Norangdal close to Øye, the peak is Smørskredtinden, did a video of the valley here. :) th-cam.com/video/VwzG0TBoBH8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cM3BfaR1UIaaOj49

Electrical ? Sure, but as it is not designed to carry current you might want to test how much it can carry. But I think it would be difficult to solder it on. You can't just force it with a lot of solder and heat because it will damage the cells. And you need to insolate it so it dont short on anything. It's just no reason not to just use some proper wire, or magnesium strip if you have a spot-welder. Spot welder is great because it dosent introduce large amounts of heat to the battery.

Thank you 😂 No, but 249g is so easy to just toss in the bag while hiking. Getting close to a tiny fpv setup now though 😁

true, carrying a 7" quad, it's heavy battery packs + accessories does not leave much space in the backpack. :D

@@Honkomedes it's good exercise thought 😂

Would love to see some tests with even larger packs myself. It would be interesting to see how it handles 6s3p. But I think the pro model would do better with it due to the powerfull motors.

Thank you, in the summer ?

Thank you 🙂

Takker 🙂 Ja absolutt nå er jo det bare snøflekker, stein og kun scraggle trær over alt 😅 Mye fosser man kan ta nytte av nå da, med alt snøvannet.

@@MountainSurfer venter enda nord for polarsirkelen! Enda helt hvite fjell 😅

all the way down on the road. I did 2 flights, one to check the conditions on the snow, hiked up and ski'ed down. then did a second pass :) more on the full video th-cam.com/video/T4TdkF1WjMA/w-d-xo.html

Yea the approach is so exposed that you can see them the entire way. If they go to the right then there are some parts where they can do exiting stuff as well.

@@MountainSurfer Nice, we’ll great footage. We’ve had excellent weather recently, sun is back, wind is calm. Can’t wait until the waterfalls start to flow. I’m hoping to so some waterfall trips around here area.

@@GiantAntCowboy thanx, looking forward to seeing your footage then 👍
