iflight Defender 25 - flying where you normally can't 

I agree with you- I certainly wouldn’t do it to aggravate members of the public but it’s nice to know that when necessary or unintentional you’re safe from a legal point.

Haha yes I normally just edit out the bits where he interrupts 😂. In fairness It’s often very welcomed input

No those where done wozu the Mavic3 and Mini3 pro

Thank you for your sub and welcome! I normally use auto iso and the filters to keep iso within 100-400. it does cope with strong winds but gets thrown about quite a bit and will be harder to fly. The Avata copes with the wind a bit better.

Very easy- just play the footage backwards 😂. Obviously only works well when there aren’t too many moving objects like people and cars to make it look weird

Normally I’d either shoot in manual, 60FPS, 1/120s, but iso set to auto iso and iso max 400 or 800. Then I use nd filters to bring the iso to around 100-150 in the situations typical lighting. That way you get some adjustment of exposure through auto iso but settings should jump all over the place. Alternatively in some situations I find auto exposure is fine too but as you said yourself it can certainly change a bit too drastically

Thank you!

@@Skytechaerials hey bud, I’m in Folkestone - same neck of the woods.

@@dronewilder5234 would be keen to meet up from time to time for a fly if you fancy it? It’s hard to find local FPV operators

Yes - not so much for use with drone related things though

Thanks - so for flying around people where a sub 250g drone may be required, I’d recommend it but for most Other jobs the avata is a better choice. I will do videos on what I like and don’t like about the defender 25 very soon.

What’s the AUW like with that method? If still under 250g then a definite good option but even above 250g many will probably go down that route too. I’ll cover reasons for why it may make sense to NOT buy the defender in a future video

Hi, yes I saw people report such issues with the O3 unit on the chimera 7” but so far I have had no issues at all with the defender 25 personally and I do use the remote 2 and goggles 2. No dropouts (fortunately as I fly over water a lot 😅) and Range has been very good - easily over 600m even in urban environments. That’s just my personal experience so far though.

Hey thanks for the comment, yeah using the RC2, not had any issues yet. I did hear about issues with the O3 receiver going into failsafe when when Video signal Is lost or due to the BEC not coping with the O3 air unit but in my tests so far I’ve had no such issues. Signal has been rock solid even while flying around the Church ruin in this video. 👍

It’s called drone assist but may be specific to the uk. Other countries should have similar apps apps.apple.com/gb/app/drone-assist-uk/id1172916055

Battery management with these kind of batteries takes a lot more care and is a big disadvantage if you’re used to the DJI convenience of smart batteries. Basically you need to keep an eye on current in the left hand corner and also the voltage but be carefully as depending on battery condition, the voltage can sag very quickly at the end of the batteries capacity so you won’t get much warning. Setting a throttle% timer is another method. This calculates your used capacity depending on your throttle usage but current sensor readings as used by the defender tend to be more accurate. This probably sounds quite offputting but you kind of get used to it. Just not as easy as DJI

@@dronewilder5234 Thanks Man....very informative

@@tekpiksapasifika3494 you can set it up to display as a solid bar that depletes over time, you really don't have to worry about voltages you can have that information presented to you in a visual way, only thing you're missing out on something telling you to return home

Thank you 🙂

@@dronewilder5234 😊👍

Thank you 😊
