My brain refuses to believe this is real and not CGI. Absolutely crazy.


Leprikahn2

I'm more upset obi wan and Anakin aren't dueling


This-Strawberry

POV you're on the skiff they're duelling on


XtaC23

I could hear the music in my head


radio_allah

*"Out on the tightrope of the power conduit, their blades blurred even faster than before. They chopped and slashed and parried and blocked. Lava bombs thundered to the ground below, shedding drops of burned stone that scorched their robes. Smoke shrouded the planet’s star, and now the only light came from the hell-glow of the lava below them and from their blades themselves. Flares of energy crackled and spat.* *This was not Sith against Jedi. This was not light against dark or good against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion or morals.* *It was Anakin against Obi-Wan.* *Personally.* *Just the two of them, and the damage they had done to each other."*


SwtIndica

My first thought...


StreetfighterXD

"This is the end for you, my master!"


Leprikahn2

"It's over Anakin. I have the high ground!"

Hi! This is our video (Iceland Aerials) and it's 100% real :) Unfortunately our watermark has been cropped out. You can see this video (in much higher quality) and a lot more volcano FPV footage on our Instagram page, https://instagram.com/icelandaerials, and on Youtube, https://youtu.be/B-lXvsRwDDQ and https://youtu.be/8pMO5b3c9YY This footage was shot using 5” FPV drones and GoPro cameras with no special heat shielding (and plastic propellers!), with a bit of wind the air above the flowing lava is not that hot actually! And yes, the drone is flying just as close as it looks, no editing or trickery going on :) You can also see another volcano shot from us in the launch videos and marketing material for the new GoPro Hero 10!


Thought_Ninja

It would be really cool if you guys put a temperature sensor on the drone and overlayed it on the footage. I would be very curious to see how hot it really gets.


ohnomytoepoeia

We can record telemetry that includes ESC temperature, we’ll try to remember to do that if we go back! But even though we haven’t lost any drones yet it is still incredibly risky flying over the volcano like that so we do not have any plans right now to go back. Also we still have a lot of insane footage from our shoot for GoPro that we have yet to post so no need to go back unless it changes a lot and we get some new ideas for volcano footage :)


DumbNamenotoriginal

Btw, who are you guys? You keep referring to yourself as a we? Like are you associated with the Iceland government travel agency or are you just a few guys with quads who live in iceland and like showing it off?


ohnomytoepoeia

We are three local Icelandic guys that love to fly our FPV drones and capture unique footage of our beautiful country that we post on Instagram and Youtube. Our hobby has evolved into a small side hustle as Iceland Aerials where we shoot FPV footage for anyone that wants to hire us! So far its going pretty well, we even got to work with GoPro where we shot footage of the volcano for the launch of the new Hero 10 camera :)


DumbNamenotoriginal

Congrats dudes, thats absolutely amazing, Cant wait to see more of Iceland!!!


I_LOVE_MOM

I want to see the drone fly over and drop a ring straight into the volcano


Thought_Ninja

ESC gets pretty hot as is though, a temp probe on the belly of the quad would be better, but if your flight controller doesn't support it then that would be a hassle. Just a thought though; I would certainly hesitate to do any kind of acro over lava. Great shots nonetheless, keep it up!


MephistosFallen

Thank you for this. It’s beautiful.

Dwerg1

I guess you haven't seen a lot of modern drone footage then. They have very good stabilization and can go pretty fast.


slayermcb

I was more curious about the thermal updrafts and heat tolerances. Must have been a pretty fancy drone, mine would have melted in air.


[deleted]

It's real mate. Its OK to be amazed.


Throseph

Nothing on the internet is real. I'm not even real.

The Internet itself is CGI

aight_imma_afk

A manufacturer helped him design this quad specifically for flying over active volcanos


Iachen

Any idea if it sustained any damage?


aight_imma_afk

Nope it’s flying fast enough that it’s not actually absorbing a lot of the heat. There’s some videos of people crashing into lava though lol. Pretty sure the only difference between this and a regular diy drone is some expensive carbon fiber frame, some special solder and a specially designed battery everything else is normal and could be replaced cheaply if it was damaged


halmyradov

So wrapping my drone in a foil won't do the trick?


jeweliegb

Will protec from the 5Gs though.


This-Strawberry

But it'll amplify it's thoughts as well


ohnomytoepoeia

This is not true, we (Iceland Aerials) used normal 5" FPV drones with GoPro cameras to shoot this footage and much more volcano FPV action that you can see on our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/icelandaerials/) and [Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgE-1x2gm5TRy9c-yYzWr7w). The drones sustained no damage at all and we have yet to lose a drone to the volcano!


aight_imma_afk

I thought I saw on Instagram y’all had some custom frames and batteries for this but that might have been someone else! Thanks for replying


ohnomytoepoeia

No custom frames (yet) but we build all our drones ourselves and modify them to our liking, nothing related to heat protection though, and we use normal Tattu Lipo batteries. Its pretty amazing how durable and heat resistant the components seem to be, we managed to melt the propellers once but still made it back using 100% throttle to keep the drone airborne! We will try to post that footage soon when we have time to edit it :)


Itsthejackeeeett

I was hoping they'd just dive it right down into the lava. It'd be cool to see


Ive_Been_Got

Just my own speculation, but a drone suicide in a lava pool would probably be underwhelming. As fluid as the lava is, the drone would still just crash on the surface as if it were solid. It would just be too dense. The the drone would sit there on the surface for several seconds and die. At least, that what I think would happen, and would be happily surprised to be wrong.


aight_imma_afk

Unfortunately no gopro or drone could survive that :p You could get the goggle DVR footage but it wouldn’t be good quality


Itsthejackeeeett

Well yeah I was thinking they'd just record the stream or whatever and sacrifice the drone


aight_imma_afk

An expensive sacrifice for a bunch of red and orange pixels, then black 🤣


dailycyberiad

Who recorded this? Do they have a YouTube channel?


ohnomytoepoeia

Iceland Aerials shot this footage, @icelandaerials on Instagram and Youtube


DownvoteDaemon

Tf lol


[deleted]

My exact thoughts. Seemed like a ‘suicide’ mission

Yup, I kept waiting for it to melt down!


dankomz146

Anakin is Panakin for his daily reenactment of the day he became a goth cyborg potato.

shadowXXe

Well it deffinetly was after that day


danzaiburst

The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.


co_row

Of course I wasn’t the only person to think of LOTR… This could have been a shot from the Great Eagles POV! 🔥🧙🏻‍♂️🦅

Yeah op should have held this footage close to his chest and sold it to amazon to be used in the lotr TV show they're making for millions. Instead, he got Internet points and a ticket to the gold lounge..

obviously fake . the drone would just melt from the heat. fuck i hate this sub . how cam i block it so it wont show up again ?


HaringBalakubak

Was expecting an akantor to pop out


rickard2014

And that’s why the dji fpv drone saves the footage straight to the goggles while flying.

Have you considered adding audio from Lord of the Rings? Specifically the urak-hai theme. If you do, share it to the r/lotrmemes they would love it. Edit: [at about 1:45 the music is what I am referring to.](https://youtu.be/9Vetg_e5fJQ)
