Avalanche caught CLOSE-UP by FPV drone - Long range mountain surfing in 4k

Mactac
4 May 2023

We were out for a day of long range mountain surfing in British Columbia on Vancouver Island with our long range drones (that we build ourselves), hoping to get some nice cinematic footage. There was a "severe avalanche warning" a couple of days prior, but things seemed to have calmed down. Just when were were getting ready to leave, I looked up and saw a huge avalanche coming down the mountain right in front of us! I scrambled to get a battery on my long range FPV drone, fumbled with my GoPro, and booked it out towards the mountain as fast as I possibly could. I got there just in time to see an absolutely scary amount of snow from an avalanche hitting the bottom of the mountain. What looks like water in this video is actually a huge amount of snow, with some chuncks as big as my truck.

Since I had the goggles on, I couldn't see what was goin on around me, and I was pretty paranoid about the avalanche coming down the mountain, through the valley and up the other side where we were sitting, all without me knowing. I was also worried that the road would get obliterated and we'd be stuck way out in the back country. Luckily, it wasn't even close.

* I'm trying to get a documentary made about drone mountain surfing - If you can help in some way, please contact me! *

Here's the FPV long range drone rig I used:
- Camera Butter 7 Cinema ONE 7 inch frame, with a custom front end that helps me get close-to-the ground shots
- T-motor F90 motors
- T-motor F7 55A stack
- Caddx Vista
-True RC antennas all around
- TBS Crossfire diversity receiver
- GNB 4500 LiPo HV 6s battery
- GoPro Bones with Camera Butter ND32 filter

That was cool. I went way down the rabbit hole watching other outdoorsy guys building huts, caves, and underground thingies. Fun.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

in addition to the posting in The Stupid thread, this
Adam Savage vs The "Perpetual Motion" Machine!

Adam Savage’s Tested
3 Jan 2023 #adamsavage

Among the artifacts housed at The Royal Society is a curious device purporting to be a perpetual motion machine. The creation of the late British scientist and author David Jones (aka Daedalus), the secret of how this machine gives the illusion of perpetual motion has yet to be revealed. Archivist Virginia Mills shares the backstory of this mystery and Adam takes a crack at uncovering how this implausible invention actually works!

Thanks to Brady Haran for bringing us to The Royal Society! You can find his Objectivity videos at / objectivityvideos
