very cool! Did you use the streets to help with orientation? I've never tried FPV (but hope to eventually), but I hear it is easy to get lost. 
Also, looks like tree branches and power lines are tough to see while in FPV.
Looks like a lot of fun though!

Looks like you were able to get travel quite a ways from the takeoff point. What FPV system are you using? Using the stock Phantom controller?
The tree's and power poles were easy to spot. However the power lines themselves were barely visible.
You can get lost easily if you don't know the surroundings, I used the roads to help a bit. But I pretty much knew where I was.
I am using fatshark predators v2 with stock phantom radio. The range on the phantom radio was solid, however the video feed cracked up a few times, but never permanently.
I had fun , FPV is really fun! Easier to fly in my opinion, because the controls are always for forward flight and never reversed. I am addicted now.
If you get lost, you could also switch on home lock.

Oh also, I think an OSD is a MUST. Just to clear your mind wondering if the battery is getting low or dead.
I always had to check if i saw the light blinking red. hehehe. But I ended up using an app on my phone to alarm at about 8mins of flight.

I've read that many have used a fiber optic cable to route the LED light color to a point viewable by the camera, kind of a cheap OSD solution. But, I guess it would then be in any video captured, unless you crop it out during post processing.
Hi Yappy nice pics. What frame rate and resolution were you shooting at? Also for your consideration...if this video is still in your edit software, try putting a cross dissolve in where you have a yaw change or direction change. I think you'll see a big difference. How this helps. Cheers

Nice job! Just ordered mine today......I'm going to Line of sigt mine a few days before I Fpv but that guy Peter that sells the honey badger is really a great guy. Full FPV for cheaper than a Phantom, I just know I'm going to need extra frame, a motor or two, a dozen props and maybe I'll restock for my second flight. I can't wait!yappy said:
