I think saving the drone and recovering the footage is another level of excitement & satisfaction to itself lol. Glad you got the gear back! Awesome footage!
I'm glad you had the chance to get it back! I once went 5 minutes without recovering the signal of my Mavic Air 2 and it was stressful An incredible video! You have a new sub!
Taking shoes/crampons ‘just in case’ you need to hike to the snow and ice is next level preparedness! I’ve done a 3km hike up the side of a hill to the snow line in order to recover a quad but came back empty handed. So glad you were successful 😊
@@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming yea that’s the whole reason I came to the comments, cause I saw that too, i was thinking the same thing. But I want to see if anyone new what happened exactly cause all in all that shouldn’t have happened, what a shame that was awesome though! I would be checking the logs on that one and Make sure that just the motor was the problem. Cause that happening “to me anyways” is a big deal.

-Or was its failsafe set to drop after FS stage 2? I haven't personally experience a motor failure. I want to know: if one motor fails, do the rest motors automatically stop and drop? Because if motors still spin after one fails, it will just continue flying but in helix fly path straight into ground?- I have my 7" set to send pulse with 1S battery attached to TBS Diversity Nano RX after link is lost. You can use Crossfire TX Lite (or full) to enable find mode. Once TX is close enough. it will get a link and begin receiving telemetry (whayaknow! you get another new updated GPS coordinates that you last know after the crash) to get closer. Once you're in the spot, you can use find mode to play cold & hot game to find it or hear its buzzer if battery hasn't ejected. Edit: Saw the description about ESC failure. Learnt new thing everyday. :)
My LR quads have a similar setup as yours and have had an ESC burn up 2 separate times. I have been blessed to have had only a short hike to recover any downed quads. The GPS is a quad saver. I also have my GPS to record coordinates via black box and saved on my radio SD card. And also the last 5 points are saved on my radio display screen every 5 seconds. Glad you recovered it. I must add, at my age I would not have did that recovery...not physically able.
Epic flight and I'm glad you were able to recover it. Did you get an idea of the distance you had to travel to find it? I fly mine in the South West of the US and there area areas I'm certain it would be stuck and that's a terrible feeling. Is your flight pack a 6s lithium-ion?
Thanks. I used the app "gps waypoint finder" to find it again. The App show you direction and distance.I have entered the last GPS coordinates transmitted by Crossfire in the app. Yes; I use liion 6S with 21700er Molicel cells. The best liions on the market with 45A
@@thomasgutweniger What is the setup for recording the GPS coordinates on the receiving end? Is this a feature on the RC controller, or did you use DVR recording to figure out the coordinates?
He'll yeah ! One bad ass flight. And great recovery. I don't do long range anymore, I'm disabled and I could never get up that mountain. Thanks for the video
Amazing video. You are a savage hiking up that far to get it! lol. The love of our drones can give us energy to do astonishing things. Thumb up, subbed and shared! Can't wait to see more of your content.
I can see the starting position at any time. Why didn't the return-home function be activated (in case of signal blocked area)? Why is ESC Motor2 defective?
Subbed just forthewalk alone mate let alone all the risk , badass flying , mad footage and the smile on your face n thumbs up at the end even though you gotz to be swearing your head off haha 👍
Ow I like ur flight man, that's so awesome. Even you've got crashed but you get it back man. Good job man, I know it's not easy to be a pilot. I'm very interesting
Interessante Rettungsmission zum Glück hattest du die Steigeisen dabei. Gut ist dir das auf dem Rückflug passiert sonst wären wir nie in den Genuss dieser schönen Bilder gekommen. Top dein Flugstyle gefällt mir 👍
Remarkable recovery. I hate walking across a park to get my freestyle quad lol, i like to think id hike for my drone but im not sure i have that commitment. Great flight anyways, really cool. Looks like a failsafe or desync but its hard to tell. You were very low for being far away in those rocks, glad you got it back.
@@djilly75 yes but... i only turtle if im sure its all good, like a bump off of a building and flip over on pavement i would turtle but alot of times if i hit trees and bend props is when it gets a little sketchy. I once crashed and turtled out not knowing the battery had shifted and the props cut the wire insulation in 3 spots including frayed exposed wires positive and negative. I flew back like that not knowing it was insanely close to shorting out and burning up, so now i save turtle for emergencies like roof crashes lol. I still cant believe i was able to unplug safely. 🐢😓
@@Noah_7s im not sure about long range turtle mode, i suspect after he failsafed he couldnt get connection to enter turtle mode and by the time he got close enough the battery may be dead along with the vtx due to overheating if no low power mode enabled.
First off, excellent flight! I love how you fly so low and fast,really going for it. Havent checked updates fpr cause but i suspect a failsafe due to low altitude and signal lost behind rocks.
Really nice flying it was really heart stopping up so high and nice recovery of the drone looks like it was okay after the crash i really enjoyed it big like from me bud keep safe 😎👌👍
the only thing i can imagine is the sensors got confused when you were flying over that black patch right before it flipped.... that dark area is big and comes up all the sudden id imagine the sensor saw that and given it size of area and the speed the drone was fliying it might up just been an overcorrection on its part.... of course if you have sensors limiting how close you can get to things
maybe not even that area i was orginally talking about, but it couldve even seen the tip of the rock that was poking out of the snow, it really did seem like the craft created that momentum i couldnt tell wind but you are in the mountains it couldve been a rouge breeze
I was thinking that too! Hahaha. I had images in my head of the guys who make rescue boats to rescue their broken rc boat. Why not quads with that idea too? haha
Hello, great video! It is a pity that it fell, but it is true that from the moment you take off, until more or less half of the climb, the noise of the engines is heard very synchronized but at one point of that climb the sound changes and they are not heard as clean or fine. I just hope the repair was cheap. greetings..👌👌👌
End of story: defective esc and defective Caddx vista because it tore out the antenna including uf.l connector and a piece of the vista-board. I will change to 2806.5 motors
My bet is one cell died in the battery faster than the others. Which caused a massive current drop and voltage drop. D-syncing your esc. Otherwise apon desent its possible gliding with that much weight caused the props to spin up causing back current and a d-sync.
You need return to home mode setup so if you loos link itll just fly strait up and return or just until you get control back and then you can continue flying.
I dont understand how relaxed can you be when you put more weight on your drone than itself and flying it at that speed not worrying about it can flip or crash?
About 2 years ago I used Aikon AK32 ESCs (standalone, not 4 in 1). I killed 11 ESCs. About one year I spent to found problem reason. Reason was in the telemetry cable. It seems like via telemetry cable high currentage from FC kills the ESC's processor. After I removed telemetry cables, problem was resolved.
Great admiration. Parade flight at speed and great video. I admire you 7 hours of hiking on such a mountain. I completed it for 2 hours and I had enough. Respect buddy💪✌️
cant believe you found it!!!, a similar incident happened to be last month :(, only mine landed on the water and could not recover it back..... you live and you learn
@@thomasgutweniger Wow, thats really amazing .. The stability is so high, what controller you used? and what are other components in the build if you don't mind to share ^^
Looked more like a failsafe for me. The humidity on the trees tend to absorb radio frequencies and the rx could have lost its signal as soon as you went lower below their level. The dead ESC could have been a secondary fault due to short in snow?
I think saving the drone and recovering the footage is another level of excitement & satisfaction to itself lol. Glad you got the gear back! Awesome footage!

When i saw the crash i was sure that it was an issue with one front motor , luckily you got it back, thanks for sharing.
Looks like the front right just gave out mid-flight, by the looks of the way the drone front flipped.

Until today it is not clear whether it was a firmware bug (beta) or a defective esc. When I recovered the drone, the ESC Motor2 was broken
I feel the pain 😭😭 but nice video 👍👍👍👍👍😍

No Drone Behind
What awesome scenery! Congratulations on the recovery. Did you failsafe because of terrain masking?
I always tell, that I went into failsafe because of a defective ESC (mosfet). In truth, I was only interested in recovering the drone ;)
How you set up application on your phone, arrow that shows direction of your quad, its very interesting.
What exactly happened? It was a great dive😂😂🤣🤣 and saw no tree branches 🤔🤔could have been a bird?
Now you gotta make a Long Range quad with grappling claw and pan/tilt cam. So then that drone can rescue the others.
I was thinking that too! Hahaha. I had images in my head of the guys who make rescue boats to rescue their broken rc boat. Why not quads with that idea too? haha
So glad you found it! You used the GPS telemetry on the radio? In 2021 I lost two 5" drones. Hope 2022 will be better :)
Lucky it happened in the lower parts of the mountain. Great flight.
Definitely need to mount the GoPro better. I was about to say did you try turtle mode but its good you walked to it since the GoPro came off
I tried all, but without motor2 (dead esc), there is no mode that will help you :)

That’s one hell of a description
lmao fr
Looking at the vision, id say the gimble became loose therefore changing the weight distribution towards the front?
what was that, looks like you did a summersault, thank goodness you were close when it happened
You need return to home mode setup so if you loos link itll just fly strait up and return or just until you get control back and then you can continue flying.
