I love these mountains, first time flying them! Kind of nervous, I´ve lost drones and never found them again before on mountains like these! They are steep and inaccessible to some degrees. Had some signal / connection issues but still went for it. Unfortunately my GoPro footage got way overexposed when there is a lot of snow, so most of the footage is DVR.

Nice flight, the DJI is so nice looking, but the system also make me nervous for this sort of flight. Cheers bud!

Maybe it wasn't smart but I don't think it is a huge mistake considering even if somehow the goggles became useless which they won't, I'll have spent only about $100 on them.

    Yes, but also no. With normal DJI controller, as long as I have video I should also have signal for the controller. But with crossfire I have a stronger signal for the controller, so if I lose video I should still have control signal with crossfire/tango 2.

Also get a big lithium ion pack, I am currently flying 8000Mah 6S packs.

    No just after market antennas, just make sure you have a functioning return to home/GPS rescue that you can activate in case of signal loss. Blocky video is also a nice indication for when signal is starting to fade, if you know the terrain well you can tell if you are flying too low behind trees or passing behind rocks/buildings.
