Great channel and review 👍 How does the flight characteristics compare to a Flywoo Explorer? Does the FoldApe have enough “punch” for mountain dives with 3S? Thanks

@HuskerTheCat 2 месяца назад

can i upgrade the VTX to something better to fly longer range or is the size too restricting?

@patrickpendergast898 Месяц назад

What would be better for long range cruising? The flywoo explorer 4, rekon4, rekon35, or this foldape4? In analog of course.

@warmachined3472 2 месяца назад

I love it it's the exact opposite of what I built. I built mine with 70mm EDF motors, it's six lbs and has a five min flight time.

@chrisbee5481 3 месяца назад

Converted my foldape4 to a freestyle ripper. Analog, took gps off. Replaced for a smaller antenna. 110g dry weight. Changed the props to gemfan 4024. Drilled the props to 2mm hole and made it press fit. Flys so much better.

@jorge6281955 3 месяца назад

You should keep gps, to Rth in case

@chrisbee5481 3 месяца назад

@@jorge6281955 To be honest you most probably wont really use this for long range. It doesn't have a built in current meter. So you have to estimate how much is left in your battery and find the perfect point of return. No one will long range that. Also the cruising speed is pretty slow. It's not that powerful and has very low pitch props.

@Goycrow 19 дней назад

Which battery ampere dor freestyle? 650, 850, 1050, 1300?

@chrisbee5481 19 дней назад

@@Goycrow tattu 3s 750mah rline or similar. The 550mah was too light and too heavy 3S didnt feel good either. 65g lipo is perfect. 130g lipo kills the performance.

@chrisbee5481 how much time flying freestyle with the 750? Im thinking to buy some 850 and one 1300 to do a long calm fly

It's funny but when the caddx ratel broke on my baby croc I changed it to a nano 3. Through the wider fov I absolutely started exploring more. I bet the ant camara has a wide fov! Nice!

So I just ordered this in analog. Besides my mini, mini 2, and a couple micro rtf fpv this is my next step I feel. I have the binding process down but am a little intimidated with the betaflight process. Any tips or tricks you can give to a newbie? Any changes I or settings I should make as a beginner? Thank you I appreciate your videos.

@glossyfpv1155 3 месяца назад

Love the folding design coming to diy builds. DJI has cornered the market for too long. glad people are still making analog quads and expanding that field instead of just hopping on board digital and everyone switching.

@KyeKunz 2 месяца назад

How do you get the fold ape to bind to elrs? It doesn't seem like there is a wifi option like most other receivers. I'm running elrs 2.4 at 50hz. Any tips to get it to bind to my controller?

@surfnskate3137 Месяц назад

Try to plug and replug the lipo three times (keep it plugged in with the third cicle), then it's in binding mode and it should connect to your remote

Hi. So what is the use of the Gps on the Foldape4? I am confused🤔

@jorge6281955 2 месяца назад

Gps is to save you if you loose video, and to return home if you also loose video if you can regain video.

@cch201992 3 месяца назад

Ok that's smaller than I thought pretty cool folds better that the fractal design wingman. I like the wingman it is cool but doesn't really fold that much smaller than when it's open plus like you said those motor wires are a pain to deal with when folding because you need extra loose wire in order for the drone to fold. With all of that said innovation starts somewhere so hopefully they find good solutions for all the issues brought up 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just bought it as my first drone ^_^ Looks very promising. I went on their website and used a 6% discount code, also got the RTF kit + 2 more batteries & propellers

@TheAerialAddict 2 месяца назад

Great review video as always, Justin. You put a lot of time and effort into making these videos, and it is appreciated! This drone ticks a lot of boxes for me and I am hovering over the “Buy” button, but I find it interesting that the internet gets all excited about a tiny foldable drone with a 20 minute flight time (although I have yet to find a video of this drone ACTUALLY doing 20 minutes in the air) for the price point it is being offered at. When compared to say, the DJI Mini II, the DarwinFPV 4 inch FoldApe (who names these drones!!??) is really quite expensive and somewhat underwhelming performance wise. I can fly 22 minutes easily with my Mini II with a little more than 80 battery cycles on it, and it is loaded with (reliable) features that work really well. (Great GPS, downward sensors, ability to do basic mapping in Litchi, just NOT FPV!) Not to mention, it came with a transmitter, a really nice leather case, extra blades and three batteries. I really feel like these FPV drones are overpriced for what they are. I have been really keen to get back into FPV(I was flying FPV before drones were even a thing, really), but getting into the pure part of the hobby is financially daunting considering one needs to buy goggles, a transmitter, batteries, a charging system and then try and find a drone that will be fun to fly for more than 4 to 6 minutes. I actually recently bought the DJI FPV drone, and while I really wanted to build something and make it my own, it was just so much easier to plunk down the cash, and voila. I have goggles, a transmitter and a drone that just works and is actually a blast to fly. And, it flies for about 15 minutes at my lazy flying speeds. Yep, a POTATO that weighs nearly as much as a car, flies for 15 minutes! But it is NOT under 250 grams and that really limits the places one can fly. At least, it does here in Canada. The Darwin FoldApe looks to have a good setup for fairly long flight times and stable, fun to fly flight characteristics. I just wish it wasn’t nearly $600 for the drone and a few batteries. I only paid $650 for my DJI FPV drone (used only a few times) and it came with goggles, a controller and three batteries.

@Mupshot 3 месяца назад

I like it regardless of the foldability. Im not convinced that being able to fold it is worth having multi piece props or having to remove screws to fold it. is there a place to put the screws when its folded so you dont lose them? although I guess having the option is nice, so long as the frame is rigid when you are flying.

@MrPhilbautista 3 месяца назад

The Chinese way is to keep the screws in the plastic baggie they came with. The American way is to buy a tin of mints, throw away the mints, then keep the screws in the tin.
