My first proper (read long) flight with iFlight Chimera 7 inch with DJI Air Unit. Flying long range gets added to the top of the list of FPV activities. This one is really a test flight to check range and that the set-up is working as expected. Tests passed. Cannot wait for more trips and here is the quick edit.

Cool. How far do you think you went? Switched to 700mW? Or even more?

@Depp, about 2 kms one way and about 1.5 the other. As far as power, I will rather not comment but you may know the answer...

Very nice footage!
My only small tip would be to do something about the color grading.
The original footage was probably quite contrasty and by lowering that in post it looks as if there is a layer of white on top.

Thanks @Montfrooij. It was actually the other way around, I increased contrast a bit and a bit of saturation as well. The issue with the overexposed sky is the fact that I forgot ND16 at home and flew with ND8 only and it was not sufficient for my settings unfortunately. I did what I could do to bring back the scene but partially succeded with the forrest and the quarry but the sky remained unrecoverable.
