I love my rekon 7 I use it with a 3000 mha 150c battery and I can get about 20 min, it gives a great balance between flight time and maneuverability. I love how smooth it flys. The O3 system gives amazing range I live in Texas and can fly out 2 miles easy because it is so flat here
Must say, just been binging all your videos! Stumbled upon your channel about two weeks ago. Helped me get my first drone which I appreciate. And now I just watch all your videos! Very addicting. Huge thanks for getting me into a new hobby!
I like it, Pretty nice. I’d like to mountain surf someday 😅 always worried I’d just lose my expensive drone though. Thanks for showing it off nice flying.
The rekon 7 pro is my favorite drone i have flown to date thanks to your review last year and if you use a 2200mah battery i got 10 to 13 minutes flight time i can't wait to build the rekon 10-inch next month great review The only thing I don't like are the battery straps when you crash they will break i would recommend getting Kevlar straps .
Love your channel. Thank you I can force myself to dust off my DJI carbon frames and get 5 minutes flight time OR just take out the DJI FPV. Prices have fallen and a “replacement “ (brand new). DJI FPV can be had for $250 That. Gives me 1 moveable camera in flight 2 smart lipo 3 long distance long times 4 dependable RTH ?? When summer comes I’ll try to resurrect Phantoms and MavicPro and my DJI conversions Again thank you
Nice! Yea i have the same, some DJI digital CF 5" and a 6" fpv drone with the air unit, and i also have the DJI FPV drone. I really do love that thing lol. Its fast, its fun to cruise around and explore with and the RTH and all those features are nice to have.. plus mine's on an older fw so i get those benefits too. I also have a Mini 3 Pro with a DJI RC and two Air 2S's, one is hacked and i got one with stock N1 controller for iphone and one came with the Smart Controller, which i actually love. I just wish it was an O2/O3 controller for all models, because it blows away the DJI RC controller in features, and most importantly Range! Its as good as the N1 controller which is on par with a DJI Pro controller as far as range goes.. Now i see why people spend the money on the DJI Pro Controller, its a much better version of the smart controller and has the same gimbals as the DJI RC2... Some people love to hate on the DJI FPV Drone, but its what actually got me into the FPV flying and then finally i added to the fleet, the "real deal" CF Framed FPV drone. The came the dji air units lol.. And now i'm looking to install the o3 air unit i just got in one i think, or build a new modern one bc theyre kind of old builds now and the hardware specs changed so fast. But Because i have the dji fpv drone, i already had the basics of FPV flying down, and i also already had the RC2 remote and the V2's. The V2's which i was able to Root for using it with the Air Unit and the custom OSD or however it works.. For the DJI FPV Drone, also called the FPV Drone Racer by DJI Lol. It is amazing how long the battery's last on the dji fpv even when flying it hard and in wind. The batteries are 6S 2000mAh according to the label on the battery pack. I can get like almost 15-20mins of aggressive flying and it still lasts to RTH which is convenient for sure, plus you can adjust it while its landing or just take over at the end to land in a better spot maybe.. The one thing that will kill the battery super quick that i noticed, is holding full throttle up, and it will do about 55mph vertically in Sport mode so i guess that's probably pulling a decent amount of power bc you can hear the motors screaming lol.. But it gets up to crazy heights in a few seconds. The issue is how long it takes to get down so you almost have to fly it down like a plane to drop altitude quicker or you'll be there all day loll. Other than that if you just give it a few second break and try not to hold it full throttle for longer than like 20secs at time with no break's or change's in direction, the battery will last awhile and will let you fly it closer to the end of the battery also.. I dont really use manual mode much on that drone, i much rather use my analog or digital 5" drones for that.. idk i think i just dont want to break the DJI FPV lol, and i just feel like its not the greatest for that anyway, and i already have drones made for that, that can take some crashes... it just doesnt seem worth the risk so i basically put it on sport mode and ill switch to Manual mode only in a good spot when im feeling it hahaha.. Id love to replace the DJI FPV camera with the O3 air unit camera, just because i can actually fly my mini 3 pro and air 2s at night the cameras are so good. But its just too dark for the DJI FPV. I have some really good analog cameras that switch into B&W mode in the dark areas and i can see more thru the goggles or screen than i can in person, its pretty amazing..
I love this Drone!! But im definitely not ready for a big powerful 7" 6S Drone.. What would be their smaller 4-6" Long Range/Freestyle-ish drone for a semi-beginner to Manual Mode, but used to Drone's. I already have the DJI V2 goggles and i have a dji o3 air unit new in the box, but the 5" drone i was going to put it on is basically better off staying the way she is, because its well used but works fine for fun analog flying in the park with a friend to try out and stuff... So im looking to either buy a BNF O3 Air Unit 5/6" Drone like the one i have now, or build a new one with recommended parts from some guides for 2023 and use the o3 air unit i have. I had an expiring coupon from dji so i used it for a new dji o3 air unit. My original plan was to fit in into the 5" freestyle drone i have now, but its about 2017/2018 spec hardware and has a decent amount of flying time on it and its just not worth it for the nice O3 air unit i feel like lol.. What do you recommend as far as the smaller version of this or other BNF name brand quads that are pre-built whether with the o3 air unit in it already or possibly buy it in analog version if cheap enough and just solder in the few connections for the 3-in-1 cable and bolt down the air unit instead... Love your videos btw! Thx.
Captain Drone, Have you loaded a new Betaflight on this? Did you use the Betaflight that came with this quad? I watched other videos, and Painless360 couldn't load Inav 6 into this without some twitching. This quad came with Betaflight 4.3 I think.
Amazing video 💯! I was wondering if you could make a separate video showing us how to bind the radio master controller to the drone. Also how to update everything to the latest firmware, If you could can you also show us how your beta flight set up looks like it would be amazing!! Thank you
Does the Crossfire Nano module work with the Crossfire diversity ? Sorry for all this questions by the way I’m a newbie I barely got myself involved into the fpv environment so I’m currently learning how everything works.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you I’ve just seen your video it was a huge help ! One more question on your video you mentioned about the crossfire Nano module, do I really have to install/connect that into my radio master (boxer) controller or is it optional ? If so, how do I do that ?
Looks like a drone for the the big boys. Not for me, in my hands it would be too dangerous. But, maybe when I grow up I might get me one. 😂 Nice video as usual, thanks for making👍
The big cruisers like this are actually easier to fly than the smaller, less stable quads. Think of it as driving a small car on a very windy day at highway speeds vs. a larger car that may feel safer and handle better. Where these are dangerous, is when they are flown around people or inhabited buildings. But if used for cruising, cinematography or mountain surfing, they are relaxing; the hardest part here in Canada is finding a legal place to fly without a myriad of permits and permissions from TC (Transport Canada). Steve is the opposite of many RUclips flyers in that he puts safety first, has spotters (which makes his flights legal) and respects the distance needed to fly safely when he encounters people.
@@technoxtreme178 My reply was meant to be comical and nothing more. I am 82 and don’t get around very good, so while I know I would love one, I pretty much stick with small and safer quads that won’t hurt me or someone else. If I were a little younger I certainly would be right in the mix of things though. I love flying and I use to own a BC12D Taylorcraft that was a lot of fun to fly, but got too old to trust my self and couldn’t pass the physical either. So this hobby is as close to actually flying that I can get. Thanks for the info on the big drone and happy flying 😀
Happens everytime you fly low and objects are between you and the receiver. It is not “truly lost” it is just the default setting that announces the warning at a certain signal level.
Is 22.2v for a 6S really that bad? I always try and shoot for 3.8v, but as long as its over 3.6v and you charge it up to storage voltage, they should be totally fine... I mean 3.7v/cell is really not bad actually, you just have to put it in storage mode now, instead of stopping at around 3.8/9v/cell. But these drones just seem to suck power quickly and they haven't really been able to up the battery's mah on newer batteries too much, without a big size or weight penalty..
Captain … Very Nice vídeo !!!! Please tell me which 7” Would be better for LONG RANGE: Chimera 7 or REKON. Remember CHIMERA CAN USE 8.000 mah battery for long distance
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Captain…. For sure the weightless Could be less efficient right ?? Because the wind above the mountains … Would be Very shake, right ?? Or you dont agree? Thanks só much, King of Canadian drones
@@filipehenry4340I mean less weight allows for a larger battery as 7” drones are all very similar. I have never encountered a bad 7” drone so whichever you choose you’ll love.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you Very much AGAEN !! 😃.So… Sorry if i i Made a wrong question… actually i Would like to Know about between 4” long ranges and 7 “. For example: FLYWOO EXLORER LR 4” and Chimera 7. SO SORRY , for the misunderstood 😃✌️ thank u Captain
Hi, I saw at your first flight that you lost signal very quickly and not very far from you! Why did that happen? Isnt this supposed to be a long-range quad???
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I am watching the one I am commenting on. At 7:00 it says '''telemtry lost''. I guess its because you were very low? But still very close! Yes, I am new to fpv!
@@dronecompassFPV Yes, it is a Crossfire receiver that I was using and it is up to me to set the warning messages, so when I fly low and I’m standing behind trees, the telemetry signal goes done (video and control of the drone remains strong)
This is completely off subject, so I apologize in advance. I am desperately searching for an external remote ID module for my Phantom IV pro + . It wont be legal to fly in the USA in a few months. I found one, but only one so far. I would sure like to have more than one to choose from, and I'm hoping cometition will breed some price competition. Do you know of any?
That was a very good demonstration of drone operation with things to be cautious of; as usual. How much better than a War and Peace mixture of common sense and absurd, badly coordinated laws being talked or argued about by people without a drone hooked to a battery in it in sight. Could that have anything to do with why you are so contrastingly cheerful?
Can the beeper be set to turn off when you plug in the battery? I have a similar one and I have to mute it every time it comes down for a battery change.
If you don't want a BEEPER, you can remove it. It needs to always be set to ON, so that it works. Turning it off after you disconnect a battery is rather simple.
Eventually, but currently none of the FPV companies are worried about remote ID because it is a USA only thing. This means once the US gets their act together and standarizes everything and puts practices in place, then the rest of the world will support it.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I didn’t expect a politically charged reply, however the FAA already has a MOC(means of compliant list) posted and there are many drones on that list including dji avata a Chinese made fpv drone. I believe it is up to the manufacturers and builders to be compliant. I’m not saying they should or shouldn’t make drones that Americans can use. I was just asking if they went through the steps to be compliant or not. I get it for hobby fun flying. I do that almost daily but I also use drones for work and it’s important to some of my clients to operate safely and legally. 🫵🤷♂️

Good point about the straps. The exact same is true with RC planes and that is the heavier the battery is, the more damage to your foam plane.
@CAPTAIN DRONE thanks

Good afternoon captain really cool drone
What's up cap Hope you post something on the Fimi X8 pro can't wait to hear about that great episodes by the way

How can you loose telemetry with a crossfire diversity that close?🤔
Happens everytime you fly low and objects are between you and the receiver. It is not “truly lost” it is just the default setting that announces the warning at a certain signal level.
