@baxtertribe9825 11 месяцев назад

I'm a third way through the video and am enjoying the soaring over fields and am watching what's in the box and I thought to myself 6 mins may not be enough time... which drones with little to no geofencing has the furthest range/flight time that you are comfortable recommending? Thank you for another amazing video

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

Range in the FPV world is often based on battery size in order to fly out and back. This means long range requires the ability to lift a li-ion battery of a minimum of 3000 mAh. (That would get you 30 min on some FPV drones).

@AZ-FPV 11 месяцев назад

Try the FlyWoo Explorer 4 LR with the FlyWoo Explorer 3000 mAh Lion battery pack .. you get 30 min of flight time. I got videos of that on my channel (skip a few months back)

@bobbylefebvre6298 11 месяцев назад

@sumner407 11 месяцев назад

So much fun and less than 250grams. The sub 250 is a big advantage keeping the FAA off your back. Video is great. Not a big fan of propriety batteries but these will have to do. Did the battery stay on when the props came off? I wonder about crashes and the battery staying on. Thanks for a great review as usual. I wouldn’t expect anything less. 👍👍😀

@julianmclean3869 11 месяцев назад

Well done Captain!; loved the Intro and Music!; a quick (and general question); why is the flight time on these types of Drones (compared to say the DJI Mini 3 Pro) so short when you consider they are very light and agile?; also, good to see "Tractor Man" was still in bed however you nearly had something similar to "The cars that ate Paris"; the "dogs that ate a Drone" !!!!

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

Hi. FPV drones are extremely powerful compared to a gps drone like the DJI mini. This is why DJI was unable to make the DJI Avata under 250 grams because in order to give the drone an over 10 min flight time the battery is large & heavy. The things you can do with an FPV drone are impossible to do with a GPS camera drone.

@julianmclean3869 11 месяцев назад

Many thanks for the explanation Captain@@CAPTAINDRONE798

@Hexa8 11 месяцев назад

Looks amazing little drone do you love its tune while flying ? Like its speed actually for its size impressive

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

I flew it with the default running. Flew well for my needs.

@fpvpilot7713 11 месяцев назад

The problem I have with all of them is having no failsafe. All it would need to do is hover in place if signal was lost. I was using the dji setup with a cinewhoop so when it lost video it lost rc control also and fell like a rock to the pavement. Takes the fun out of flying for me. None should start recording until you take off. Thats how my older holybro 2.5 works. Are they learning anything?

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

Record begins as per how you set it up (in the goggles). Failsafe is also something you setup in Betaflight. You can also setup a different type of failsafe in your radio. By default the failsafe on all FPV drones is the same as on helicopters and RC planes and that is to cut the motors. It can be changed if desired. “Hover in place” on failsafe option requires a GPS rescue module so that the drone remains in position.

@TheVexinator 11 месяцев назад

Would I be correct to assume that using the DJI controller will prevent turning off the video system? That seems like a feature that will only work with a different primary receiver (e.g. ELRS)

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

Nope, you just assign any switch you desire on the remote 2 for the function of video ON/OFF. You do this in Betaflight. If you are a newbie at this then watch my video entitled: CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS EPISODE 12

@jc.cantrell 11 месяцев назад

I noticed the props are HQ Props. Is it possible that iFlight simply received a batch from HQ that had an HQ quality-control issue? No way for me to know, but interesting that the replacement set of props did not fail. I realize since the props were provided by iFlight, iFlight is the "responsible party," but perhaps the root cause of the prop failure was not the assembly team.

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

Could be, but you’d think then that iFlight would have caught this. I’ll leave it up to iFlight to sort it out.

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

Flylens 85 is more agile due to weight and the ability to use different battery weights but it is also more prone to damage in a bad crash. The Defender is a typical workhorse cinewhoop and simple to use, but you are stuck with proprietary batteries.

Question - did iFlight provide the drones?

@CAPTAINDRONE798 11 месяцев назад

You asked a question that sounds like you think there is a difference between receiving a discounted drone and full priced one. It works like this… iFlight contacts RU-vid reviewers and let’s them know they have a new product. They send all the specs so that reviewers can decide if they wish the product, and what options are available. Reviews can then select what they want, so the configuration in this video is what was selected by me. Is the drone FREE? Not for me because I live in Canada. I have to pay for shipping, customs and duty which is always over $100. No consider all reviewers do this multiple times per week so $100 easily becomes $500 per week. This is why I only show items on my channel that I personally select as everything has a cost.

DONT BUY defende 16 ! Qaud is fun to fly but all the footage is Jello. ive had 2 of these and the footage is unusable. the camera mount needs to be soft mounted and also not connected to frame as a unibody to mount. i love flying this but not worth it. i bought ND filters hoping to fix the issue and it still is jello. With a little more engineering to make a soft mount camera dampener this could be a cool little micro drone. Another issue is battery's fail pretty quickly. Ive had mine for 6 months and all ready have thrown 5 battery away because they wont take a charge anymore. Only fun is flying it indoor but its usless if i cannot record video footage. Oh i forgot to mention the props they give you fall off in mid flight. the did send me replacement gemfans but dont use the stock iflights.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I’ve owned 2 of these and the amount of of jello is ridicules. Iflight admits that jello and they say they only should be flown indoors and with ND filters they now provide with the def 16. It comes down to the naked air unit 3 is to light and because of that jello shake is a problem. The design wasn’t very well thought of with an injection molded frame built with the camera mount connected which causes the jitters. I’ve heavily modified and cut my camera mounts off and re attached camera but for $500 I shouldn’t have to do any of that. The camera truly needs to be on its own platform. I’ve also had issues with batteries. I bought 8 battery’s and out of the 8 battery’s only four will hold a charge after 4-6 months. The quad itself flys awesome but that camera makes it pointless to buy.
