The Diatone Roma F4 is another 4" long range quadcopter like the Flywoo Explorer 4". Let's take an in depth look at this quadcopter!

Diatone instructions for how to enable the GPS are linked at the end of this paragraph. However they don't seem to be correct. The 9600 baud seems right but when set to NMEA as the instructions show, no sats are detected. When set to UBLOX auto-config, a few sats seem to be detected, but a 3D fix is never achieved. EDIT: The link to the instructions seems to be broken.

The dry weight with props and no battery is 160 grams. Very sorry I spaced on that. What a ridiculous thing to leave out of a review of a LR quad. Diatone instructions for how to enable the GPS don't seem to be correct. The 9600 baud seems right but when set to NMEA as the instructions show, no sats are detected. When set to UBLOX auto-config, a few sats seem to be detected, but a 3D fix is never achieved. My conclusion based on the one unit I got is that the GPS simply doesn't work.

Ray from the future here as Josh would say, I purchased one of these when they first came out and they were junk and took f-ing forever to get a lock if you were lucky enough to not have the vtx overheat! Three years in the future and I have replaced the M8 gps with a new M10 gps that gets Galileo sats, and if is finally usable! It sat on a shelf for three years and I tried everything to get this turd to work. With the new gps module, it is fantastic and locks with in 20 seconds! I also designed a new mount that relocates the gps to the front. This gets it away from electrical interference!

Maybe they're better now, but they weren't in the beginning. About FC there's no issue, you can use whatever you want. And Diatone's boards are very good! But you can look for one with barometer in case you want to try iNav. You know? Other than that, a better GPS module. Pawel Spychalski changed his for a Matek GPS and it worked flawlessly! Anyway...

Yeah, seeing the camera wasn’t mounted with TPU, I though this would have no jello. Wow. Given all the things it should have had, but didn’t, and the things it should not of had, but did, I feel like this was thrown together as much as any of the 4” LR quads. I was rooting for them too. C.M.W. could knock one out of the park here. Also in regards to the camera, was it foggy in the distance? Or was that an artifact of the sun, like we have seen on other Digital cameras?

Josh, I'm a fpv noob and have just been flying 1s and 2s (I own a tinyhawk2, eachine novice II, and tinyhawk freestyle2). I use a taranis x-lite RC and some discount eachine ev800 goggles. I want to step it up a bit. The transmission range of my goggles combined with my tiny quads is very poor. The signal in the goggles breaks up easily. What 4s or higher quad would you recommend for someone like me? I have the basics of flying down and I can fly decently. I watch your videos and would love to get the RC and video range you get on your quads. Would I need to updrade my goggles and RC too?
@lavachemist

I wish HGLRC made one. It's probably just luck of the draw but I seem to have mixed results with both Diatone and iFlight hardware (moreso iFlight). So far I would be between the Flywoo and the GepRC, personally. Interested in seeing the Catalyst Machineworks quad.

I guess it's because of multiple houses blocking the signal coming from the vista into my dji goggles. There is no LOS. I honestly thought the culprit was the short caddx vista antenna being blocked by the lipo battery when quad becomes almost parallel to the ground. So I bought a 130mm Lumenier antenna. Today, I flew the same spot and I was disappointed. I saw the same signal degradation. I was flying at 700mw. I'll keep you posted tomorrow.

Interesting. Just a few days ago I made a li-ion battery pack for my standard 5 inch drone with a custom frame(racing drone style with the strength of a free style) on my first flight I got over 22 minutes while still playing around a bit and only flying down to 11v. So I believe that 25+ minutes is possible if someone used different props, flew to a lower voltage, and flew easier than what I did. Everything was the exact same as I would normally run except the battery. So my drone without the battery was 344g, I was running dji snail 2400kv motors with the dji 5048 three blade props, and I had an all up weight of 674g. Would be a market for a battery like this for people who wanted to fly long range with whatever drone they currently have?

Hello, I purchased a Diatone L3 HD runcam split nano. I had zero any luck connecting my Spektrum 4650 micro receiver to it. The wires are soldered black to negative, red to 5v, and brown to the uninverted tx pad (I even tried the RC pad). I am not getting any input in the receiver tab on beta flight. I have uart one for serial rx, and IRC tramp uart two in peripheral‘s. Receiver mode is serial based receiver (speksat,s....) and the serial receiver provider is SRXL2. I wound up trying a different receiver a newbee drone dsmx, i soldered the signal wire to RC pad. It bound and worked, unfortunately the quad flew about 50 feet away and my goggles lost reception and the drone fell to the ground. It happened twice. I think either failsafe or its resetting itself. Can you please tell me what you think is going on ? Any help is appreciated Thank you

I like Lihv 650 all the way up to 1000mah packs on it, your ready to come in when 3.5v hits and you get time to bring your quad in which is really nice. I will have 3 of them soon.

I have found Diatone flight controllers don't handle GPS signal properly. It's been my experience as well I have read posts by others saying the same. Diatone + GPS = NO!!! Don't trust it. This quad is a joke, a long range quad that comes with a faulty flight controller that can't handle GPS?! Don't waste money on this quad people!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you could have skipped this one. Or maybe it's best to let people know that Diatone ships faulty products just to keep up with the competition. BTW Only the quad sucks. You Joshua are absolutely awesome! Thank you for all your help over the years buddy!

I tested MAMBA FC(MAMBA F405 DJI) and Iflight FC(SucceX-E F4 V2.1), only FC is connected to GPS for test(No other device connected), MAMBA FC is always (difficult) cannot be fixed, Iflight FC does not have this problem.

@@inerstw Thank you for responding and checking yours out as well. I think it's quite certain then that the mamba f405 definitely has some kind of design flaw or quality control issue when it comes to receiving and processing GPS data.

The nebula, the bad tune, and disabled 'unstable' gps included is really appalling on this one for diatone.

nice review but i think the concept of the 4" long range is not really so good...they are too susceptible to wind, shaking etc.

study the question before you say anything. It flies quite successfully in winds up to 30m. S, and large drones withstand the wind even worse, because large windage appears,

I have 4, YES 4 MAMBA F4 and F7 on my desk, and all of them are busted. MAMBA is a JOKE. I bout a diatone roma f7 from a dealer in DK and stil after a mounth I have not been able to fly it, even thou they send me a new stack ( Mamba f7 ) I wish I had never bout the Bl. diatone man. I hope that they send me a drone that works so that I can tell you how it fills when it works, right now I am not able to do so :(
