@rohitkudre3792 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the review Nick! Great flier. However, $259 for the analog version and higher up from there just stings. I feel like it's a tad overpriced but Avion RC is pretty well known for their build quality so some people may find that valuable. I think people may be able to build one for less than $259.

yea. I originally had a bit apologizing for that, but clipped it out due to time.

@Mupshot 2 месяца назад

Appears that best value is to buy the quad with no VTX and add the video you want. I wonder how this would do with the full size walksnail pro (better night vision than the moonlight camera) or if its best to just get the 1s nano.

@URAZKIVANER Месяц назад

Awesome flight man ! I am waiting on my 6 4s batteries to arrive and I am only cruising with the one I have currently . According to the picture on their website it supposed to have GPS onboard. Can you confirm that because I am unable to locate it and I wanna use the GPS Rescue function if needed...

I don't see a version with gps on it. The wire map of the flight controller does show how a gps can been connected but no mention of gps otherwise.

@StarrFamilyVideo 2 месяца назад

I got the Avion Evo 3.5 and I struggled with the tune for a while, pitch and roll were bananas, the slightest input and I’d roll like 4 times (and often crash). Impossibly sensitive. I ended up lowering my rates on pitch and roll and it’s way better now. Also, it survived those crashes really well, one of them even in the Narragansett bay. I was ready to give up on it at that point but tweaking the rates helped a lot. It’s one of my favorites now

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

ah so I presume you had not previously identified rates that you enjoy? Do you generally fly the rates quads come with?

@StarrFamilyVideo 2 месяца назад

@@NickBurnsFPV I usually use the rates bnf come with and then tweak. I haven’t found a set of rates that feels right for every quad. But these rates were unflyable, you couldn’t touch pitch or roll and maintain control of any sort. It was far from what was expected. It was weird.

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

@StarrFamilyVideo gotcha. I don't recall the initial rates, but sounds like they might have been high. If so, don't try my rates, most see my rates are pretty off the chart high. 😂

@its_generik 2 месяца назад

Hey Nick! I double checked to see if it was my sound card for some reason (and it still might be) but near the last 5 or 6 minutes of your video the audio is a bit choppy! Just pointing it out, you probably noticed though!

Nick if you buy a quad with the 03 camera, why do people put elrs in, can't they fly from the 03 system?

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

It can if the sbus wire from the O3 is connected. I suspect they put elrs on it as the DJI remotes are not popular in the fpv space.

@perplexedintellectual6918 2 месяца назад

How would you say the ikon handles agility compared to the nexa 3”, for aggressive freestyle. And which one flies more like a five inch, which one as well is faster

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

the larger the prop the closer it will fly like a 5inch. As the prop size goes up so does the overall weight. The all out fastest quads we have seen are mostly 5inch with a few 3 inchers sneeking in the mix.

The price is interesting. Some below have quoted $259 for the analog version? Considering the hdzero crux35 is $249 with the new freestyle vtx and 90fps camera. Kind of hard to justify the avionrc.

@Bill_Bo 2 месяца назад

I had the 2S AvantRC Nexa Evo 2.5 with Walksnail. It was really light and agile and handled crashes well. The yellow plastic holding the camera was a bit in view which wasn't good because it was yellow. Also I thought the power cord was too long so I shortened it. I had to do something in BF to the get the OSD to work, otherwise it came all set up. But the video suddenly dropped out one day and I lost it in a rough area and couldn't find it back. I was very sad.

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

Any rhyme or reason for the video dropping out?

@Bill_Bo 2 месяца назад

@@NickBurnsFPV I may have gotten confused about where I was and gone behind a ridge that blocked the signal. There is also a lot of RF interference where I fly. I have had issues with WS lite and GogglesX, but there has always been something else I could blame, so I am not sure. One thing that makes it hard is the GogglesX gives you a broken video recording if you don't stop the recording by pushing the button. And I forget that and pulled the power so I have no video of the incident.

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

@@Bill_Bo Ah I see.

@Bill_Bo 2 месяца назад

@@NickBurnsFPV Another thing good about that Nexa Evo was the motor magnets were super strong and so the beeping/tones were really loud. Where I fly it is all cactus and boulders. Your quad can crash 1 meter away and you might not see it.

@@Bill_Bo ah that is an aspect I have not considered.

@craighudson8555 2 месяца назад

I didn't see many near misses where you really had to take obvious corrective action tbh. Nice flying. The term "near miss" is shortened from an event where as a pilot you get very near to a collision, but miss. Totally logical, the alternative is simply a collision. Nothing odd about it at all really when explained in those terms. I hope you don't mind me asking, do your neighbours not complain about the noise from you flying such aggressive, screaming quads?

@KOrnhOliO1 2 месяца назад

They probably didn't offer the HDZero version because the Analog version with a Ratel 2 will give you almost as good of video as the Analog 2 version, Without the nearly $800 needed for the HDZero goggles. That or the fact that HDZero only has about 10% market share so they figured they wouldn't sell me many. Me, I wish they'd make a Naked Vista version, cuz I don't need 03 performance to RIP this quad, but would love the huge weight savings! Seems like Vista has been forgotten since 03 came out. Better low light with Vista too! 😎🤘

@elderrodriguez6982 2 месяца назад

Hey another great review from you. Others seem to also like the ikon 2.5 despite the jehmcu AIO witch worries me aliitle. I my eyes the the o3 air unit enables 2.5 inch freestyle category as a new goproless standard. Unfortunately the manufacturers only slowly turn to this format witch is a shame. I would love you to directly compare it to the DJInn from quadmula because this frame enables the cheap speedybee f405 stack inside a 2.5 freestyle frame. I really wonder how they would compare. Also the proto25 frame is interesting because of its hotswap capabilities for the O3 air unit if you are on a thight budget. What do you think?

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

It would be an interesting comparison. I haven't had time to dive into to many builds recently, but the Jjinn seems popular. Likely take awhile for me

@weseng1 2 месяца назад

Hey Nick, thanks for another thorough review. Yours are always chocked full of information for the time spent. Personally I only fly analog and this tiny unit with crossfire is $300+ by the time you order which is just nuts. There are a few better deals out there for sure. In my opinion greedy manufacturers are holding this hobby back big time. Of course I realize their costs have gone up but they're no where near double which is what they have done with their sale prices. As long as we keep paying it I'm sure they will never stop but I have stopped buying from these greedy guys. Lucky me, God knows I have way more than enough drones to fly already and I can afford to add newer designs when it's a fair deal.

@NickBurnsFPV 2 месяца назад

yes, pricing has certainly been rising. It seemed to really take off as HD FPV came about. The few quads we can get under $200 are analog and move are from DarwinFPV a brand known for budget based builds.
