Mountain Ascent – Cinematic Long Range FPV Drone Footage Made Using Li-ion 18650 Batteries



This is a one pack cinematic lengthy vary fpv flight. Taking off from a riverside campsite and heading all the best way up, for epic cloud coated mountain high views. It’s not all in regards to the stunning peaks although, the route up and down turned out to be fairly an journey.
