🔥 10KM FPV Long-Range Madness | Himera 7” vs Voodoo’s 8” Beast with DJI O4 Pro
Yo FPV fam! Buckle up because this one was absolute mayhem! We took our rigs up Snowdon for a next-level long-range chase session—10km+ of pure FPV adrenaline with insane dives, cinematic chases, and some full-send mountain freestyling.
🔥 The Pilots:
🚀 NiejaFPV – Rocking the Chimera 7” LR, dialed in for long-range endurance and precision.
⚡ Voodoo – Sending it with his Mario 8” beast, featuring the latest DJI O4 Pro system for next-level HD clarity.
🌫️ Expectation vs Reality – Snowdon’s Weather Scam
The plan? Golden hour, cloud inversion, and cinematic bangers. The reality? A total weather scam. Forecast said 300m cloud base, but when we got there, the entire Snowdon peak was swallowed in thick fog at 900m. No epic views, just cold, damp, and moody conditions.
But no stress—we adapted. After 10km of hiking, we found a killer flying spot at 398m above sea level, right below the clouds. 4°C temp, wind gusting from 17 to 55km/h, and just enough clearance to rip through the ridges and send some sick mountain dives.
🚀 The Session – 10KM of Pure FPV Adrenaline
With the DJI O4 Pro feed looking crisp and GPS locked in, it was go time. The Chimera 7” and Voodoo’s 8” tore through the mountain ridges, carving the landscape like we were in Star Wars pod racing mode.
🔥 Sickest Moments:
⚡ Low-pass formation flying – cruising inches from the mountain face.
⛰️ Epic ridge dives – sending full-stick drops into the valleys.
🎯 Gap threading – slicing through tight rock formations at high speed.
💨 Long-range cruising – punching out to the limit and back with rock-solid control.
