Thanks for watching. I took up this hobby less than a year ago..still learning how to fly. Watch my other more recent videos where there is more and more of what you like.
Thank you. This flight was more of a test to see if this quad had the battery and video capability to get there and back..plus to video the area to study line of sight obstructions. I will be flying there more this summer closer and faster. May eventually fly to the south sister peak too.
I was interested to see the reception out of a ORT 6 Turn Helical. You did not disappoint. Great flight. I plan on using mine with a crosshair or a pepperbox.
Thank you for watching. My go to antennas right now are a ORT 6 turn Helical and also a VAS Crosshair Xtreme on a Rapidfire module. Will over time see how far I can fly this configuration. So far 3.6 miles with more to go.
Beautiful long range flight and an awesome experience to share with your son on Father’s Day. These long range flights always make the starfish pucker. It’s hard to remember everything before a long flight like setting voltage alarms and all of that. I enjoy some acro flying from time to time but long range cruising over beautiful terrain like this is the best! I built a 15” prop 680 sized quad for some extreme long range flights I just haven’t built up the nerve to push it yet. It’ll hover for about 55 minutes. It has some t motor antigravity 380 KV motors, hobbywing xRotor 50 amp esc’s, 15” folding props, 6s 10,000 mah lipo which I want to swap out for a li-ion pack, and a naza-m v2 and tbs core pro/black box that I took off of my old tbs discovery. I built it just for that purpose but there is so much $ on that thing I’m nervous to get that far out 😂. It has a crossfire diversity RX and tbs 2.4 video on the quad and I have a TBS ground station with a yagi antenna that I connect my goggles to.
Same here. My other TBS non diversity nano receiver does not have an option to disable the telemetry. Only the nano diversity does. Does that mean that the others are not sending telemetry??
@@ValleyFPV no they send telemetry. What I think the issue is with the diversity nano receivers is the antennas being in such close proximity to each other or it could be algorithm related since the diversity receivers do actually have two transceivers and they may be conflict between the two of them.
@@Freebird_67 perhaps I have old FW. I tried this a week ago for the nano..no option. There was for the diversity. Suppose I need to check version. Thks for the info. I have been flying Sharkbyte HDZero lately and discovered that some of their VTXs are sensitive to CSFR telemetry tx.
Incredible yet scenic flight ! Regarding the rush tank solo vtx , did you used the 1.6 version or the max version that comes with fan ( up to 2.5w adjustable) ? Thanks .. and subscribed .
@@ValleyFPV thanks for the reply . Your videos are really different from all other fpv pilots . Honestly i am stunning with the scenic captures of your flight . Started following you just last night here local time . Thumps up for all your videos every time from now and on .. keep up 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really like your videos and your flying style. Ive been toying with building a long range and i think the takeoff shot in this may have been the final push i needed to just build one. I love my little fast drones but there is something so cool to me about picking a place miles away and making the journey over a longer time period just cruising with a co pilot. I guess my next move is just to find a nice mountain in new hampshire which is not too far from me and go to getfpv to start buying a few parts. Do you travel far for these videos or do you live near the mountains?
Thank you for watching and the kind words. I live less than an hour drive from some nice hills and these mountain peaks and lots of wide open areas perfect for exploring. I did the opposite..learned to fly longer range and now learning how to fly close in and hit gates.lol
Thanks for watching and commenting. 1200 total..half of that is the battery. Check out my prior uploaded video a week or so ago where I go over this new build in more detail.
Yea i have read that those dji units if they cut out can take a while to reconnect. Too much time = loss of control. HDzero or analof is not as sharp image but it is stable and works.
I have the same Rush Tank Solo, but the range is very disappointing. I use a Skyzone Cobra X which comes with the Rapidmix VTX which is very good by reviews. For antennas, I use all the best in the market: a VAS 5.8GHz Crosshair Extreme LHCP and a Lumenier Micro AXII 2 LHCP for the goggles, and another identical Luminier for the Tank Solo. With Rush Tank at 1600mW I only got 2km before the video breaks up. The result is just on par with using open source PCB patch and pagoda antennas. I thought this set up would get me a range of at least 4-5km. Any advice anyone?
@@ValleyFPV I have just made 2 x 7 turn helical antennas and after just some ground testing, I already notice that they are much more powerful than all the above mentioned. Do you point the helical directly to the VTX antenna? Because in my case they both have the best signal when pointing 45 degrees from the VTX antenna. Is that normal?
Hi. I am currently using Fatshark HDO2 Goggles. I might get something else.. sometime this year. I have bad eyes and bought them because of the ability to dial in each eye.
You cannot see the OSD information in your goggle? Why does your son keep talking to you about information? You guys are so serious and fun kkk. Just enjoy.
Why was BUZZ reading out speed and altitude data to Neil during their approach to the moon landing? It's called teamwork. Allowing the pilot to focus. Plus..unknown to most I often ask my son what the OSD readings are in an attempt to get him engaged..instead of looking at his cell phone at tic tok.
It's so hard to explain that feeling to someone else who is watching, well done some good father-son bonding!
Thanks for watching..and yes it was a good day.
Yes
Love this! I take my 2 yr old out flying with me and he thinks my quadcopter is pretty cool.
Amazing flight and good to see the father and son get together !
Thanks for watching. It was a good Father's Day indeed.
Great Flight ✈️
Thanks!
I love long range, I love your move. good job
Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching that! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Some hard and fast prop wash @18:16 ! Needs a little tuning.
I agree ..still more tweak.
great video. I love seeing take off and landing. great stuff
Thank you for watching and for following.
@@ValleyFPV what antenna mount are you using for your HDO2's
@@LIFPV it's a bracket that sold by immersionrc
Nicely done and excellent conditions! Lucky!
Thanks for watching. I agree.. a lucky weather break.
Great Flight! Wish you had flown a little closer to the ridge, some mountain surfing would have been great cinema.
Thanks for watching. I took up this hobby less than a year ago..still learning how to fly. Watch my other more recent videos where there is more and more of what you like.
All them trees along the way is enough for me to say no lol would be a needle in a haystack
Indeed. Thanks for watching.
Awesome flight I was looking forward to this one the twins sisters look amazing!

Thank you for watching.
Very impressed 👏
Thank you for watching!
Wow amazing
Thank you.
Very cool!
Thank you
Love your videos bro🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for watching and very much appreciated.
Got to love those TBS crossfire nano diversity receivers with there telemetry lost over and over. Funny none of my other TBS non diversity do this.

@@ValleyFPV I believe you can turn off telemetry downlink on both nano and nano diversity receivers at least on latest firmware

so nice! really like your videos. keep it on! ;)
Thank you for watching
@05:10 How did you notice the glare in the GoPro feed while flying? Don't you just see the fpv feed?
Thks for watching. Yes you are right. I was actually commenting on the sun glare on the fpv camera at that moment. 😅
Incredible yet scenic flight ! Regarding the rush tank solo vtx , did you used the 1.6 version or the max version that comes with fan ( up to 2.5w adjustable) ?

Thanks for watching and commenting. 1200 total..half of that is the battery. Check out my prior uploaded video a week or so ago where I go over this new build in more detail.
I use an O3 air unit on my quad. Im so scared to go 3miles let alone 1 mile lol. Im too scared to lose my 1000$ drone.

Try some long helicals if you havnt. Aiming is critical but they work.
@@ValleyFPV I have just made 2 x 7 turn helical antennas and after just some ground testing, I already notice that they are much more powerful than all the above mentioned. Do you point the helical directly to the VTX antenna? Because in my case they both have the best signal when pointing 45 degrees from the VTX antenna. Is that normal?
@@nguyenducquocanh4341 My experience is that the helicals I have used had best reception pointing the axis of the helical to the vtx.
What happened to frank? Already miss him
My older "flight engineer" Jim was with his family. I made this flight on Father's Day and my son came along this time.
My heart does the same lol!
Thanks for watching.
Hi, about the gopro 7 hypersmooth you use,. If that superview mode or linear? Thanks
Thanks for watching. Actually that gopro was recorded in UHD 4k 60fps at the WIDE setting..not Superview nor Linear.
Thanks for reply ^_^
Are you using Fatshark, Orqa or Skyzone goggles?
Hi. I am currently using Fatshark HDO2 Goggles. I might get something else.. sometime this year. I have bad eyes and bought them because of the ability to dial in each eye.
How come you don't use 8" prop's?
Someday I might give em a try..
@@ValleyFPV I run the HQ 8x4.5x3's & they're great!
@@fpvflyriding I need to test them ang give a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
🤩😎😎
Thanks!
👍👍👌👏👏

How long did it take to climb up to the peak?
Took me 10 mins this flight however I turned around several times on the way up surveying. Direct would be closer to 8 mins up.
