Best viewed at 1440p. Link stats are already shown in the video.
Here again, I'm pushing the limits of NLOS piloting with large sections of the flight blocked by solid earth, rock, or both.
Running 1000mW with two omnis and two Triple Feed patches on the goggles. I misspoke in the video. When I fly under the trees on the right end of the ridge, I'm about 600m away from launch, and the old structure I flew through at the other end, is 660m the other direction.
It is unfortunate that the DJI DVR doesn't record any of the other telemetry data (either on screen or in a separate file), because I wanted to see what my RSSI looked like just before I lost control. The transmitter's own audio telemetry did not complain of losing the signal until the quad had dropped to the ground, and was resting upside down, but it certainly behaved like I lost control there. The video was solid until after it dropped. I wonder if it was a "random drop" instead of a real control loss. At this point I've got a little more trust in DJI video link than I do Betaflight 4.1.x.
