Helion cannot be used in tropical and coastal areas such as Indonesia, Australia, Saudi Arabia and other countries with hot weather. Iflight Helion has the weakness of "Overheating Very Quickly" at the core temperature in the FC/Air Unit so that it very easily reaches temperatures above 70 degrees Celsius when hovering, even when flying slowly cruissing. The Helion cover causes very minimal cooling air circulation. I canceled buying it, over price
Iflight went full monty! Does it come equipped with RID since its a 10 inch? March 16th 2024 is just around the corner. Bottom mounted batteries are the way to go if they do fall out of the sky you don't need turtle mode.
@NOT-ANOTHER-FPV The bright side of RID is if you lose your drone, you can find it easier. But long-range drones are why RID is being pushed when the public freaks out and doesn't know what the drones' agenda is really doing. But I do understand why not to comply.
I have some questions for anyone who’s interested about what remote and goggle combo I need to use for the new Helion I just ordered. Here’s what I have: - DJI FPV Goggles V2 and DJI Remote Control 2 (Came with the DJI FPV Fly More Combo) - DJI Goggles 3 and DJI Remote Control 3 (Avata 2 Fly More Combo) I purchased the Helion 10 with the additional ELRS 2.4 receiver and a Commando 8 Remote Control. I know I can use the DJI Goggles and Remote with the Helion 10 as it has the DJI O3 HD Air unit preinstalled. However, if I use the Commando ELRS remote with the ELRS 2.4 receiver, which goggles are compatible? Can I use the DJI FPV Goggles V2? Or do I need the DJI Goggles 2? Or the DJI Goggles Integra? If I decide I’d rather fly the Helion 10 with the DJI Goggles and Remote, do I need to disconnect the ELRS 2.4 receiver or can I just link the DJI Goggles and Remote to the DJI O3 Air Unit? Thanks in advance for the help! I’ve been struggling with finding the answers!
exactly. I was disppointed with the flight time for chimera7 pro v2. The amp draw with 8000mah 6s liion with 7040 prop cruising at 40 -50km/h was like 14 15a draw.
just ordered one omg. I was going to transform my chimera 7 pro v2 with 9 inch frame but I needed to to a lot of work for it. This is perfect 900kv is good but underbelly battery...
There will be a print or even a carbon plate with slots for the straps either produced by Iflight or the community. Under belly batteries make sense for more capacity, range and aerodynamics but mostly battery capacity in my opinion
@@freespirit2129 yes. I can fit one on top of my AOS 7 UL although I won't be doing too much acro with it 😁. Long range or long duration crusing is fine
Fairly simple to do on you own for an experienced person. Though Im guessing they have optimized that already. All you would be accomplishing is hurting its performance.
@@JoshHenriques I travel to film a lot. I’d rather not fly with the regular fpv Lipo batteries. I’m new to fpv and used to traveling with DJI drones. Just want a safer option.
@@hitmakerzmedia you are aware that those are just normal batteries in a different casing right with a slightly modified connector? they're in no way safer or different its just the outside thats different just a visual thing.
alright! now this is a professional fpv setup starting to compete with dji, I've been wondering why we're all flying around bolted together plates of carbon fibre with cables running all over the place, this is starting to look like professional levels of engineering now!
@@MrCaptainnemo I mean, if we compare it with a couple of bits of carbon fibre and some bolts and exposed, unmanaged wiring exposed, etc, etc. I think this is a step up and in the right direction
Very good but a two strap 3D print to protect the battery would be nice. Control Rx diversity would be good too. Plenty of room for a rear vertical antenna. Things have been hotting up in the world of the 10 inch drone
@@freespirit2129 ideally yes. I suppose it can be modified and you could have three antennas sticking out of the spine. An SMA/RPSMA mount to fit a Bardpole or similar. I haven't seen it with the cover off fully to see if it could be fitted easily
@@MrCaptainnemo i preordered one already hehehe my chimera 7 pro v2 is already crossfire diversity setup one vertical bardpole but not detachable and one horizontal yes! I am getting helion diversity setup as well and i will modify it to have one vertical!!
@@JoshHenriques I suppose I should clarify: I want to rip the balls outta my neighborhood laying down about 6kW on 8S.... AND also do some "long range" cruising - I'll do that on a fat 6S pack. I guess that for a dedicated "long ranger" you want max efficiency, but, man that thing looks like a Ferrari, not an SUV.
@@mlentsch well 3s the current draw is to much for 10 inch unfortunately otherwise it would be a great option. the reason you increase voltage is to reduce amp draw. there is a big misconception within FPV and lack of understanding about voltage. people think increasing voltage makes drones more powerful. it does not as when you increase you also decrease KV in order to protect the motor from burning out. if you swapped Helion to 8s you would have to carry a wider and more cumbersome battery or alternatively two 4s batteries. you would not gain any flight time, all you gain is a reduced amp draw which is not a problem when doing long range as your aim is to draw as little amps as possible and as consistent a draw as possible. The only reason to increase voltage is when you go larger prop sizes to reduce the amp draw in order to protect connectors and ESC's. But for longer flight times smaller voltage packs can often be advantageous, especially when dealing with Li-ion. a great example of this is DJI look at there Avata its a 4s drone.
@@mlentsch for ripping i agree 8s is better for less battery sag, but the Helion was not designed for ripping rather long crusing. we have a 5inch coming out soon which is designed for ripping!
and get a 200ft cable with a 190ft string (10ft slack) then a 2 n 1 connector for each goggles antenna adapter and put the 200ft cable on them , then 2 antennas on each one and those 2 antennas taped to each side of a helium balloon then send balloons up at 190 string feet of lot better penetration . now u can fly 2 miles away at ground level lmao cause u just reversed the free air penetration.
to bad it sucks when u feel u have gps turned on correctly being it works on the switch , but still u then lose radio signal and it drops and then u dont care to go look for it in other peoples property. evoque 5 hd 600$ down the drain. i atleast got a good 100 flights out of it atleast.

Love you fam!
iFlight FPV my dream come true!
Always innovating! love it
Looks amazing I’ve always wanted a long range drone maybe this is it.❤
I want one so bad this looks great...10 inches say what!
I will get this one before my next icelandtrip
I'm going to buy one before I take a trip down the street
Hey what’s the realistic range of this? Ty guys 👍🏻
this craft... looks like the stuff... I would love to replace my costco drone with this... wow..
I want to test one. Iflight or bust! Been flying my titan for the last 2 years.

Don't be a tease. What size is the battery, and how long are the flight times?
Max Cruising Time: Approx. 23mins with 6S Lipo 5600mAh battery / 26mins with 6S 8000mAh Liion battery
30 minute flight time
exactly. I was disppointed with the flight time for chimera7 pro v2. The amp draw with 8000mah 6s liion with 7040 prop cruising at 40 -50km/h was like 14 15a draw.

@@aznsinner73 915 of course for long range!
Will you be running 915 mhz or 2.4 ghz?
Ah so seems like you guys are deleting comments that are taking critique. Sad to see.
Looks amazing! Only wish you would change the batteries that it takes.
Fairly simple to do on you own for an experienced person. Though Im guessing they have optimized that already. All you would be accomplishing is hurting its performance.
what battery are you wanting?
@@JoshHenriques I travel to film a lot. I’d rather not fly with the regular fpv Lipo batteries. I’m new to fpv and used to traveling with DJI drones. Just want a safer option.
@@JoshHenriques Like they did with the Defender series. 👌

Would love one to test and review please.
alright! now this is a professional fpv setup starting to compete with dji, I've been wondering why we're all flying around bolted together plates of carbon fibre with cables running all over the place, this is starting to look like professional levels of engineering now!
It's some plates of carbon fibre bolted together with a plastic lid and a wee bit more thought than usual but it does look pretty 😁
@@MrCaptainnemo I mean, if we compare it with a couple of bits of carbon fibre and some bolts and exposed, unmanaged wiring exposed, etc, etc. I think this is a step up and in the right direction
@@chrisalexthomas it is progress indeed. Now let's see who is going to try and compete with it 😉
Dji own iflight... So you won't see competition here
@@amirmilgrom6319 that might explain why this looks and seems to be built more professionally
Wow send one to me in NZ… I will long range over the water 💧
I hope 5 inch version will release soon 😅
sooner then you know :D
Very good but a two strap 3D print to protect the battery would be nice. Control Rx diversity would be good too. Plenty of room for a rear vertical antenna. Things have been hotting up in the world of the 10 inch drone
it has RX diversity both crossfire and elrs depending on what option you choose. if you pause the video you can see one on the side one at the front
@@JoshHenriques thank you
quite disappointing about the crossfire diversity antenna placement. It could have been better if one is placed vertical at the back i think.
@@freespirit2129 ideally yes. I suppose it can be modified and you could have three antennas sticking out of the spine. An SMA/RPSMA mount to fit a Bardpole or similar. I haven't seen it with the cover off fully to see if it could be fitted easily

It's basically the same 10" drones people have been building for the last 5 years but with added weight😂
Man.... I just bought an GepRC pulsar!! This looks really good...
The only problem... shouldn't it be 8S? ... and the ESC is a 55A 4-in-1??
nope we tested loads of combinations. the esc an handle these no problem. 8s is just added weight
@@JoshHenriques LOL!! 8S is just added weight?? Why not just go to 3S, then?

Interested in this. What radio and receiver do you recommend to include with it?
Tbs crossfire diversity all day.
and get a 200ft cable with a 190ft string (10ft slack) then a 2 n 1 connector for each goggles antenna adapter and put the 200ft cable on them , then 2 antennas on each one and those 2 antennas taped to each side of a helium balloon then send balloons up at 190 string feet of lot better penetration . now u can fly 2 miles away at ground level lmao cause u just reversed the free air penetration.
AI voices don't feel natural yet
It’s normal on tiktok
Does anyone know what Voice this is and where to find it?
Will be the frame available itself?
When it is available you better buy it fast cuz I'm going to buy it first! :(
:)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Need 8s helion 10 with 8s 20,000mah li-ion 😊 get this flight time up.
All flight time testing i see is same chimera 7 6s 8,000mah li-ion
Asta la vista, 250g weight limit
pertamax?
LAM BORGH INI lol
ai voice
Filming 10 inch with 5 inch 😅😅
Cost to much
Wait until the frame comes out and build one yourself :)
$$$$
We really want to review this guys! Please contact me asap!
looking forward to your review😏
After the review I'll take it off your hands no problem 😁😁😁

this is not for me, a little crush and the battery is dead🥲
When isn't that the case lol
