Epic Long-range Drone Flight - Uncut

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : To see the possibilities inherent in long range first person view (FPV) drone flight, look no further than contributor and FPV pilot beeb FPV. He mounted a GoPro Hero 7 HD camera to a racing quadcopter and conquered nothing less than the mighty Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps. In four minutes, he was able to reach the famously symmetrical peak, which stands almost 4.5k meters (about 14.7k ft.) above sea level. That left enough battery power to safely return the drone and its fantastic footage.

This mountain is a sight to behold... Wah.. Not a lot of people can tell they have been at the top of this peak, and many have died trying. But on this special day, all conditions were met to make it happen: no wind, perfectly clear skies, warm temperatures, and a perfect snow cover. I flew FPV with a 6-inch quadcopter and Li-ion battery all along its remarkable ridge and all the way to its summit! The climb took approximately 4 minutes. The descent was obviously much faster and I didn't have time to spare at the top, my battery was almost half empty already.
