Pre-sunrise 3S battery* flight of my Global Drone X183 GPS Drone 11-01-18 (1080p) (1).
Flight took place in the airspace over an empty lot near the intersection of Holman St. and Dearborn Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 7:49am PDT on 11-01-18 (or, "2018-11-01T07:49" or, "2018 01 Nov." or even, "November 01, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy with light rain, temperature was 57°F (13.9°C), and winds as measured with my el stupido "rotten squid urine** yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were gusty out of the SSW to 7.50mph (12.08kph) at the surface with observed higher wind speeds aloft.
The music that you hear is zax from the coin-op arcade video game, "Super Hang-On" (the song is titled, "Outride a Crisis") by Sega from 1986.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off.
* 3S battery because I used a 3S (11.10 volts) flight battery in effort to increase flight time.
If the drone blows up as a result (I don't think that it will but the the probably of this occurring is not mathematically zero!) then it will be several weeks minimum before I can obtain another quadcopter that can shoot aerial video.
I'm going to keep the altitude fairly low for this flight so that in case the drone fails in mid-flight I'll still have a high probability of salvaging my Fitfort 4K Action Cam and using it to record ground-based videos of my Parrot Swing Transforming Drone and my Flytec T18 Mini Racing Drone (the Swing has no forward-facing camera and the T18's flight camera has gone to pot).
(Post): It did indeed quit functioning at approx. four minutes in and fell out of the sky from an altitude of 72 meters (~236 feet); ground testing at the crash site did show the motors to spool up to idle (which leads me to believe that a thermal cutout engaged to protect the ESC) but I did not attempt to lift off because the starboard (right) landing skid became broken during the crash even though it landed in a bed of soft, fairly tall grass (mercifully it crashed rightside-up so I didn't bust the camerea or lose a prop -- no spares were furnished and I am not able to find spares online).
Needless to say, I got that 3S flight battery out of there pronto and installed the 2S OEM flight battery.
** Squid (all cephalopods actually) do not piss like most mammals do (by storing their poddy in an expandable sac and then ejecting it through the urethra when the bladder is full); therefore there is really no such thing as squid urine. ;-)
Some rain got on the camera's lens which somewhat queered the video. :-(
Halloween flight of my Global Drone X183 GPS Drone 10-31-18 (1080p) (2).
Flight took place in the airspace over an empty lot along the NE side of Summit St. between Ellinor Ave. and Dearborn Ave. at 2:22pm PDT on 10-31-18 (or, "2018-10-31T14:22" or, "2018 31 Oct." or even, "October 31, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy, temperature was 58°F (14.4°C), and winds as measured with my el stupido "strong Kodiak bear poddy yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were mainly calm at the surface.
Le légèrement gros {le terme d'argot vulgaire pour le mâle gai (le fagot baisant)} avec l'anémomètre jaune stupide autour de son cou s'assoyant dans le fauteuil roulant électrique nom d'un chien fichu que vous voyez est le pilote - moi évidemment. (The slightly fat {vulgar slang term for gay male (THE FV¢K!NG F46607)} with the stupid yellow anemometer around his neck sitting in the gosh damn electric wheelchair that you see is the pilot -- me of course).
The music that you hear is the song, "Aéro Dynamik" by the German electronica group Kraftwerk.

Cool weather* pre-sunrise Halloween flight of my Global Drone X183 GPS Drone 10-31-18 (1080p) (1).
Flight took place in the airspace over an empty lot near the intersection of Holman St. and Dearborn Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 7:29am PDT on 10-31-18 (or, "2018-10-31T07:29" or, "2018 31 Oct." or even, "October 31, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy with light rain, temperature was 48°F (8.8°C), and winds as measured with my el stupido "rotten Emperor penguin piss** yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were mainly calm at the surface.
The music that you hear are the songs, "Eight More Days to Halloween" and, "Silver Shamrock -- Time for the Big Giveway" from the movie Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off.
* Cool weather in this context means an ambient temperature of 33°F (0.6°C) to 50°F (10°C) at flight time.
** Emperor penguins (all birds, actually) do not go tee-tee like most mammals do (by storing their poddy in an expandable sac and then ejecting it through the urethra when the bladder is full); therefore there is really no such thing as Emperor penguin piss. ;-)
Flight of my Global Drone X183 WiFi FPV GPS Drone 10-30-18 (1080p) (3).
Flight took place in the airspace over an empty lot near the intersection of Holman St. and Dearborn Ave. in Shelton WA.
USA at 4:29pm PDT on 10-30-18 (or, "2018-10-30T16:29" or, "2018 30 Oct." or even, "October 30, Twenty
Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were cloudy with smoke (from what I believe is a nearby forest fire) in the vicinity
(visibility ~4,000 feet (~1220M); possibly IFR for real pilots, VFR for R/C pilots), temperature was 55°F (12.8°C), and
winds as measured with my el stupido "strong Weddel seal uranation yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from
JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were mainly calm at the
surface.
The music that you hear are the songs, "R2-D2 (Lives in My Ass)" and, "Spatula" by the Rochester synth electropunk
comedy act Worm Quartet.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles
you off.
That bluish "mist" that you see isn't clouds, fog, or rain -- no, it was smoke from what I believe to be a nearby forest
fire. I could smell burning trees on the way to the launch site, so I'd venture to guess that it was started by a clueless
camper (a true-blue total asshaberdasher) and his neglected campfire; conditions as of late (very damp) would have
prohibited the fire being caused by a carelessly discarded lighted cigarette stub or a hot vehicle exhaust pipe
Rainy day flight of my Global Drone X183 WiFi FPV GPS Drone 10-30-18 (1080p) (2).
Flight took place in the airspace over Kneeland Park in Shelton WA. USA at 2:01pm PDT on 10-30-18 (or, "2018-10-30T14:01" or, "2018 30 Oct." or even, "October 30, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly cloudy with moderate rain developing shortly after liftoff (had I been at a flying venue close to home, I would have immediately packed it in and headed home, but because I didn't want to waste a rather lengthy trip, I decided to tough it out!), temperature was 52°F (11.1°C), and winds as measured with my el stupido "strong doormouse poddy yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were mainly calm at the surface.
The music that you hear are the songs, "Monkey On Your Back" and, "War Suite" by the Canadian rock group Aldo Nova.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off.
That bluish "mist" that you see isn't clouds, fog, or rain -- no, it was smoke from what I believe to be a nearby forest fire. I could smell burning trees on the way down to the launch site, so I'd venture to guess that it was started by a clueless camper (a true-blue total asshaberdasher) and his neglected campfire; conditions as of late (very damp) would have prohibited the fire being caused by a carelessly discarded lighted cigarette stub or a hot vehicle exhaust pipe.
Some raindrops fell onto the camera's lens and partially queered the video as the flight progressed; though not too badly.
Pre-sunrise foggy morning flight of my Global Drone X183 WiFi FPV GPS Drone 10-30-18 (1080p) (1).
Flight took place in the airspace over an empty lot near the intersection of Holman St. and Dearborn Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 7:37am PDT on 10-30-18 (or, "2018-10-30T07:37" or, "2018 30 Oct." or even, "October 30, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly cloudy with moderate fog in the vicinity (visibility ~300 feet (~91.4M); IFR for real pilots, VFR for low-altitude R/C pilots), temperature was 43°F (5.1°C), and winds as measured with my el stupido "rotten school bus urine* yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls those things even though those things actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were mainly calm at the surface.
The music that you hear is the song, "Metalingus" by the metal group Alter Bridge.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off.
I added, "NSFYE!" (Not Safe For Your Ears) to the title because not everybody who comes to YouTube to watch R/C drone videos is a metalhead and would appreciate the surprise earwhipping. :-)
I increased altitude to 122M (~400 feet) in an attempt to get above the fog layer and pan the camera around; but since I do not have FPV I could not see the drone or what was above/below it. As you can see in this video, I never did break through the fog layer. Just lots of white -- occasionally punctuated by streetlights below :-(
* School buses aren't living creatures and do not uranate like one, therefore therefore there is really no such thing as school bus urine -- rotten or not. ;-)
