Flying so high and diving from that altitude is the secret dream of every drone pilot

Didn't expected that the DJI FPV would be that stable with turned off motors ! Although not intended this seems to be the result of its special aerodynamic design together with its low center of gravity. So basically the altitude you can reach with given battery capacity plus a small reserve for landing defines the maximum altitude you can fly. Awesome !

I know that DJI's stuff isn't cheap but their radio tech is excellent.

As a pilot, I've came to curse you and then I read the description. Well done sir.

being an airline pilot myself, this kind of stuff gives me chills. That drone would be a cannonball shot to my cockpit.

Really cool the free spinning of the rotors on the descent helped keep it very stable! 👏

It's incredible how a small drone like this can reach these altitudes! 🤯

This is Drone tech is getting crazier and more advanced LITERALLY by the day!!!!

There's nothing better than flying a drone up high and taking wonderful videos such as this. Nice work 👏

Is it weird that I feel so much better after watching this? It was good for my mental health.

That blue sky above the clouds was mesmerizing

What surprises me is that something that light could free fall 14, 000 ft and come back almost to the takeoff point. Must not have been any wind at all that day! Good job.

How were you able to bypass the max altitude of 500m that's programmed in drone to limit its altitude?

letting your drone freefall for three minutes straight!! you are the master!

@ironman FPV what software was used to lift the altitude restrictions??

Just a thought but how cool would regenerative charging be for when you turned off the motors. How much can you generate on a 3 minute charge

I love the free fall disabling the motors. But if the batery gets too cold, you maybe will have a problem turning the quad on.

You really can tell in the comments who has the knowledge and who doesn’t and probably shouldn’t even be flying drones let alone thinking of doing anything like this. Awesome footage

very good flying, my compliments. I especially was impressed by your idea to cut the throttle as you were descending, to save power. I'll have to experiment with "prop feathering" myself, but from a much lower altitude. Other people who make flight test limits videos, never have a plan for the low battery situation but you did! I would also point out to people wanting to test horizontal range limits to always egress against the wind and ingress (returning) with the wind. Also remember that wind speed decreases with altitude. Use that to your advantage. If you MUST ingress against the wind, stay LOW! Happy and safe flying to all!
