FPV Drone Flight into the Iceland Volcano PT2

FPV Drone flight over Fagradalsfjall Volcano in Iceland Part 2. Clips shot later in the evening than the first video. The wind picked up a lot by this time and you can see me banking hard to fight the wind. I fly right over the lava flows and then through the crater and lava lake. The drone was piloted from the ridge on the eastern side about a mile away from the crater. Shot with the DJI FPV Drone with a GoPro 8 mounted on top. The footage was then stabilized in reelsteadygo. Overall an amazing experience. Shot on June 24th, 2021. Hope you enjoy!

The wind was helpful in pushing the hot air and gases to the right allowing me to fly more safely to the left of the crater. However, at this point in the evening, the wind was quite powerful and I had to fight hard against it. The trickiest part was dealing with the turbulent air and gases coming out of the volcano and some of the lava flows. As of this time (end of June 2021) it was no longer possible to get as close to the volcano requiring me to fly from just over a mile away. The DJI FPV drone performed amazingly well at such a distance and in extreme conditions. At the end of the first clip however, I flew way too far and low and my signal cut out completely. Luckily the failsafe kicked in and automatically stopped the drone before hitting the lava and the drone flew back into range.
