The New iFlight Nazgul Evoque F6 V2 is simply AMAZING! Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- This new EVOQUE F6 is a large model with six inch props, so plenty of power. It is such a smooth flying drone and has the benefit of the DJI O3 Air unit for great communication and stunning video footage. It also comes in a small Five Inch version called the F5. You can find them at the links below:

Having your secondary drone orbit around you while you fly another was AWESOME. That was straight up quality videography right there. Great job Steve! I enjoyed the video and even though were a bit later now, ill be picking up my Evoque F6X v2 real soon :)
Thanks for checking out the video!
You’re just awesome, Steve. Thanks for all of the information, video footage, and fun that you provide. Excellent content, as always! 👍🏻
Thanks for checking out the vids
Thanks for another great review! I’ve been looking forward to this for a while as you subtly hinted that something bnf O3 was in the works.
Love how snappy and responsive this drone is! Happy Holidays Steve and thanks for the joy you bring to your reviews!
Happy Holidays!
Great review, Captain. Your always very thorough . Iflight made a big hoss of a quad . Thank-you for keeping us up on the latest , and greatest.
Great video Steve, keep up the good work! It's nice to see the integration of the mini 3 to your recording setup.
Thank you
Good review Steve and another good quad from iFlight.
Great overview as always. I never fly till Ive watch this guy!
Great video buddy, like always. Grettings from Panamá
I just stayed up all night watching your videos and here I am again doing this video while I eat lunch trying to get more information on this drone for a first timer. I cant say thank you enough for the information, camera quality, and use of your mini drone also capturing your footage. Would love to reach out for questions if you have the time. Thank you!
Glad the vid is helpful. It takes me hours/days to go through all email and comments so if you have questions, post them here and eventually I’ll get back with answers.
Thanks for this. Really great review 🙌🏻
Steve, thanks for sharing your home town. Remind me a lot of mine. Your mountain was pretty cool anyway thanks for Sharon.
Good evening really nice drone cool review
IFlight has just built another I got to have it drone. As usual another great review.
Thanks Captain
Thanks for checking it out
I love the O3 in my dji fpv. Cant wait til i can afford the O3 for my speedybee build. This video made me more anxious to get it. Cant wait. Love your videos btw. 👊🏻
Awesome review! I love that drone so much that when iFlight had a sale on CyberMonday I bought the Nazgul F5D V2 and the F7 Blitz Stack and the GPS so I can build it myself! Cheers!
Cool!
Very nice. Thanks. Technology matches on!
The best review channel hands down.....................
Thank you!
Amazing gear....man FPV is so expensive but what an experience it is getting better and better
It’s still cheaper than a new iPhone and arguably more useful and fun!
The extra cost is due to the DJI 03 system. It adds an extra $200 US to the price of any new FPV Drone.
Hi Steve.....Loved the excitement in this video.....👍
Thank you!
I flew the F5 and sure it was great, now I'm tempted to get a couple of these this Xmas, we'll see if they can keep it in stock this time around.
Edit : classic example of the O3 airunit losing link with the DJI RC and losing video feed because of only using LHCP antennas. to avoid further crashes don't use a DJI controller and instead use ELRS or Crossfire
Hello, Can that be selected from the googles or tuning software?
@@salsero2627 updated comment
I have this same drone with 2.4G ELRS and you are spot on. ELRS makes this Novgul rip. Now if i can just get the Betaflight OSD showing in the Goggles 2.
Really nice footage sounds good
Watching you for years. I would love that tech built in gliders.
Super flying footage, Steve. Like 20+ It's so great the snow hasn't come back yet, and we can still fly comfortably. Greetings from Montreal.
Thanks. So far no snow in the forecast for Ottawa/Montreal covering the next 4 days.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Indeed, Today it was supper sunny. I flew along the North side of Bizard Island in the Lake of Two Mountains, the estuary of the Ottawa River.
What have you guys found to be too cold for fpv. Wanting to get into it but wondering if I can fly through Alberta's cold winters.
@@LeviWarkentin FPV drones have no issues with the cold. You just keep the batteries in your pocket before use.
Wow, nice one captain, amazing!.. great video 👍🇵🇭
Thanks!
Excellent Video. Thank You.
Thanks for checking it out
Well done Captain ! ; another option for anyone thinking of putting a toe in the water with this style of flying; as an aside, I put a "little toe" in and purchased a S/H Zero X Blitz as a starting point and love the way you have to learn "finesse" with Controller inputs (no altitude hold) ; the Evoque sounded like a Chipmunks Formula One Car !!!! (loved it) also, you may have to be careful with your Friends as I think they are looking to introduce a Captain Drone Vaudeville act !!!!!!!
Ha ha, I always have the peanut gallery watching whenever I fly a new product. Sometimes it's difficult to keep a straight face while filming :-)
you are awsome sir. excellent video as always.
Thank you
I've bought longer sticks for my DJI Controller 2. Works just fine now. 😁
Wow I might have to get the new DJI 03 ❤ I don’t fly quads much anymore but the HD system I do use 😊
Great Job my friend you have an awesome channel.
Thank you
I just bought my DJI FPV and mini 3 pro, damn I need this!
Love it ❤Epic Drone
Great review, 😊when would you be reviewing the iFlight Bob57?
Always great review! What would your recommend between Nazgul F6 and BOB57 O3 Cinematic 6S HD ?
Awesome review! Will you be doing a review on the iflight BOB57? Super curious on the comparison between that and the F6! Also curious to know if you’ve ever had any issues with iflight electronics!
that battery was screaming " help me".. haha
Hey I purchased one of these using your reference link I hope you got the credit. Thanks for the great vid!
Thanks! I may, or may not get credit. It is all up to the online store.
Great review, thank you!
Could you make a review about the new Iflight BOB 57 O3?
Cheers
Great video! I purchased this Nazgul F6 v2 thanks to your review. I started flying FPV for the first time 2 weeks ago. With a lot of Simulator practice i was able to start flying it in Acro mode no problem. Love the hobby more then i expected. I decided to buy/use the DJI Controller 2 since its an easier setup. I am still afraid of going very far out and loosing signal. I wonder how much range it actually has using the Controller 2. I set up GPS and it works great but i am worried it will failsafe on me, I believe that if i loose signal with the DJI controller 2 it will failsafe instead of giving me the chance to activate the GPS. Does anyone have good tips/ recommendations to figure out my limits as far as range goes using DJI Goggles v2, DJI Controller 2, and 03 air unit?
Another flu a FPV like that but that will be the first for Christmas that I will get myself to try thank God is for beginners which I am a beginner still learning a lot Happy holidays to all
Love your videos! About to order one. New to the hobby, I come from the Heli World. Can't decide between ELRS 2.4, or 900...
2.4 is more common than 900
I reached approx 120 kph on the V1 version. However i "downgraded" the motors to xing2 2506 from 1500 to 1350kv since i use it mainly for Meidum to Long range cinematic flying.
Overall a great drone, like you said. Though not so perfect for freestyle imho, since you can really feel the size compared to a 5"
Yea 5" suppose to be a lil better freestyle but I use the f6 deadcat for freestyle fun.. faster recording with longer flight time. I have run li-ion 4000mah but only get like 18mins and li-ion pack is hot haha
Hello, thanks for yet another great video!
Please can you explain what's the difference between V2 and V3? I've tried to find it but doesn't seem like there's a clear answer out there..
Also I tried to find comparison videos but couldn't find any.
So far, with V3, it doesn't seem to have a Deadcat frame, which is the only 'downside' I see with V3 (since I don't plan on adding an additional GoPro and don't want props in my frame).
Any suggestions or insights would help! TIA
As always nice review 🔥 btw,do you balance charged the R line Tattu ? What do you think on why it failed on mid air?
Since this video DJI has QUIETLY acknowleded that the DJI FPV REMOTE and the DJI O3 SYSTEM will sometimes DISARM and cause a drone to fall out of the sky. Hopefully they fix this problem. In my case the battery cell was damaged either in flight or during the crash, so the jury is out on the real reason.
It looks like a green Chimera 7 Pro. Love every bit of it except it had a raspy sound. I have an Evoque F5D that I upgraded to DJI over the summer and it has been amazing. I'd love to have that O3 system in it but $230 is a lot to spend and I doubt the camera will fit in the frame correctly as the front on the F6 is noticeably different. Seems like one downside to O3 is that maybe only deadcats (also maybe ones like that AOS5 frame) and cinewhoops can really use it as an action cam due to props in view.
My AOS Cine25 frame that I ordered after I saw Chris Rosser’s video shipped yesterday and my O3 air unit is getting delivered tomorrow. I’m pretty excited!
Capt….rippin!!!!!!!!
Awesome video! You were flying with the dji goggles v2 or 2?
In this vid I believe I used the DJI GOGGLES 2 (The small ones)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 nope you used the V2.. the 2 dont have the bottom antenas hehe
Hi, first of all nice video... Is there any frame from iflight from that generation in which you can put a fullsize stack? Or only 20x20min fc's and esc's?
If there is a frame, it would be listed on the iFlight website
Hi!! Very amazing Captain!!
Please tell me Wich antenna is this! Mine Evoque has small ones !!
Would be better change ?
Please show as a link
When this video was made the DJI long antennas were used. Small DJI antennas are more common today.
I have this drone. I run usually 1500mah to 1800mah or li-ion 4000mah but that li-ion I just cruise and still comes down hot. Also on an extremely hot day 95° in full sun the drone blinked off. For a ¼ of a second everything turned off and back on. Dji went black fraction of a second. I heard transmitter make the noise like it just connected to the drone. In video drone looked like a just about to fall out the sky. Think something almost over heated. I might have to take panels off if fly in heat again
I recently purchased this same set up as my first drone. I also purchased longer sticks for my controller to help. Eventually I want to upgrade to a tx16 but am curious on what receiver I would need to purchase/install on my drone to get it to work with the tx16? Any info helps. Thanks
I guess the simplest answer would be for me to recommend that you check out the RADIOMASTER site and ensure you know if you wish to buy an ELRS version or a 4 in 1 version. Receivers are based on the version you buy.
Can anyone help? I cant find a video for this question. Would you recommend the Chimera 7 Pro O3 over the Nazgul Evoque F6 V2 6S HD if i was interested in long distances and longer air time? i i would be using the Commando 8 ELRS 868/915MHz RF 1000mW controller with the dji goggles 2. Appreciate the feed back
Can you review tongjia U8? Pls
I like it
The options on the website are......
TBS Crossfire NANO RX
iFlight ELRS 868/915MHz RX
iFlight ELRS 2.4GHz RX
What works with the TX16S?
Sorry, iam new.
You are helping me a lot. 🙏
Nazgul are villains.
Hi !! If I'll be mainly filming with a gopro12 on the F6, is it better getting the squashed version? Thanks !!
Yes, the Deadcat version is best (like the one in my review)
Hello, great, sorry I don't speak English, I will use a translator. I would like to know what is the difference between the Bob 57 and the Iflight F6 V2? Since the 2 drones are 6 inches, is the F6 newer or more agile by far?,,,,thank you!!! 👍👍
I too have a 6S pack that has one cell draining much faster than the other 5, I wonder if this is a common issue to look out for.
Yes, very common. It just means your battery is on its last legs. You can still use such a battery but it is unwise to use it in a device that draws power quickly... such as an FPV drone.
Can you (or anyone else in comments) do a comparison/ pros & cons between this 6 inch Evoque compared with the Bob57.
I’m planning on getting the Bob57 next month, but can’t decide if this is a better option.
It’ll be my first Kwad outside of the dji fpv and Avata. I’m going for 03 unit and crossfire, and am leaning more towards the Bob57.
this would have been such a great video. Im in the same position now lol.
Hi CAPTAIN WHAT kind of antenna those your nazgul use?
Mine is listed on the website under the specs for the Evoque
could I use the iFlight crystal patch with stubby antennas and Goggles V2 with this quad ? I have heard mixed things since the antennas are 5.8 only
Not really as the antennas do different things on V2
Would dual band antennas work with the crystal patch (true r. 2.4-5.8) or is the whole patch in general useless on the v2 goggles ? Sorry if this is a dumb question im relatively new and theres a bit of confusion surrounding the patch and its compatibility with goggles v2 and quads
kids must love hanging out there. they probably find all kinds of useful items you and your friends lose... you guys should put reward posters up for missing items!!!
Correction: You make it sound like this product replaces the iFlight Evoque F5, which is not true. They have made a 5 inch and a 6 inch version of this in the past and now there's a V2 of both of those (called F5 and F6 respectively). Thanks for the great review!
The showing of the older F5 vs the F6 was to show the difference in frame size between the two. There are links to the F5 V2 below the video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Ah perfect, didn't see that. I just didn't want people thinking they ditched the 5 inch model. F6 sounds like the replacement of the F5 from a naming angle to be fair 😅
@@morimetz The 5 in F5 refers to the size of the props being 5” and F6 refers to the props being 6”.
a lipo on a quad does not die like that. the 03 air unit did not get prioritised due to current draw thru esc. when the videotransmitter cut of so did your rc link because its the same when flying with the dji controller.
What is the max payload?
Hello sir, iam new in fpv.
Iam already watching you seance some months but I still have many questions that you can hopefully answer. 😉
Can this drone work with a TX16S remote❓
Was the GPS already included and did you have to activate it or was it already set up❓
And what Googles do you like more, the dji2 or djiv2 ❓
Thank you sir, I love your videos. 👍👍👍
Yes. Just be sure to select a RECEIVER in the drone that works with the TX16S you get
I dont see the links for the drone
So I have a couple questions for you I’m looking to buy the same drone what site would you recommend I buy it from and the batteries what would you say for longer flight?
There should be a link under the vid that takes you to one of many sites. IFlight drones are normally purchased from iFlight or Banggood and sometimes GETFPV.
I have a question. If I get this drone. Can I use the DJI goggles from the DJI Fpv drone and that controller or do I have to get new controller and goggles. Love the channel and video.
Yes, your gear will work. Just update the firmware on your gear. Also, You then have to switch your goggles to the O3 system (look in the goggles menu and you’ll find the option). Then take your new drone, press the link button, it flashes red, then press the link button on your goggles. When they are linked, then you repeat the process and link to your remote (hold the power button on the remote down until it goes into link mode).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 last question. What controller would you recommend to upgrade to from the DJI controller
@@SeeExperience Radiomaster TX16s
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hi! I just got the drone in, it didn't come with a charger for the batteries, what do you recommend? anything i can get on amazon? thanks again
@@SeeExperience pro FPV drones don’t come with chargers because this is not a Beginner kit. I’ve reviewed tons of pro battery chargers. If you do a search for CAPTAIN DRONE BATTERY CHARGER you’ll find all the popular ones.
Hi Captain, can you recommend a good drone for a rusty RC pilot to get my feet wet again but still fly it once in a while? I just want something under 249 grams (if possible but not totally necessary) good flight times, doesn't need a good camera or a camera at all. Foldable, a case would be nice, durable, and brushless. Obstacle avoidance and GPS is a must to keep me somewhat stable. Budget $125.00. I hope that wasn't TMI, LOL. But i do know you're the Pro on all things drones and airplanes too now I see 😀 I'd really appreciate any suggestions you could give me. PS: I've watched you for years now, but on a different account I have. However, I just subscribed with this one too. Thank you.
It sounds like you are looking for a GPS CAMERA DRONE and not an FPV DRONE. DJI Mini SE is the most popular under 250 gram CAMERA GPS DRONE. If you want obstacle avoidance that works, then you are looking at adding another $300 to the cost, such as the DJI MINI 3 PRO or AUTEL EVO NANO+. There are much lesser quality drones with obstacle avoidance but the avoidance is more a gimmic than something reliable.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I like the GPS option to help add to some stability in hovers and other maneuvers. I just want a drone that I can use to get back to the basics. Figure 8's, turns about a point, approaches to landing, take-offs and landings. Like I said previously, if there was no camera, I would be fine with that. But I would guess that finding a drone w/o a camera would be impossible. But like I stated previously, camera quality is of no concern to me, for this drone. Does that help a little bit? Thanks!
Your using the 03 air unit with the old goggles
So you can actually do that ?
Yes, they work with the old DJI FPV version 2 goggles
Does it have an analog version
Sounds like a drone with metal detectors could find lost GPS units?
Just bought this thing because of you XD I really hope its ok to order straight from i flight, i bought from your link and spent a bit over 900 US dollars on it, iv never ordered from i flight, are there any issues or precautions i should take and will customs charge me for some reason? i paid for the fedex/usps shiping method .thanks in advance!
I usually have to pay customs/duties in Canada for anything I buy from CHINA whenever I select DHL, FEDEX, UPS courier shipping. When items come by mail they take 3 to 4 weeks but I often pay no customs/duties.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Its here finaly and it really does have good fit and finish :)
She’s a real beauty that drone, but as yet I don’t have a dji goggle to be able to use it, otherwise I’d be more than happy to have it.
What size batteries do you use with this big boi? 2200mah good enough or too much?
It all depends on battery length
Is there a function to use the emergency stop button on the dji controller with this drone? thanks
Emergency Stop is a beginner GPS thing that DJI uses on their AVATA and DJI FPV to get beginners used to flying in MANUAL MODE. Since most FPV drones use no stability assistance to fly, like optical flow sensors on the bottom or GPS to hold in place, EMERGENCY STOP does not exist.
I am thrilled with my purchase of the Nazgul Evoque 6 v2 with OS3 and 2.4g ELRS. The iflight commando controller is fairly decent imho. Now if i can just get Betaflight OSD showing in DJI Goggles 2.
Anyone know how to get OSD in Goggles 2, not the V2 Goggles, but the DJI Goggles 2, please let me know or drop a link in this comment. Thanks! 🇺🇸✈️
You set up what you wish to see in the OSD in BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR. As well in the goggles you have to flick the setting to allow such OSD to be seen. You'll figure it out.
can i use arm of this build for my nazgul evoque f5 deadcat v2 ? i wanna upgrade if its compatible
Not sure. The arms usually have holes for the drone they are made for (for body and motor). Carbon fiber can be drilled through with a good drill bit or dremel, so if you purchased the different arms you may find yourself drilling new holes so that everything fits.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ok thanks sir
I'm going to assemble an FPV drone. And I want to choose the frame for it. And I review several variants:
SpeedyBee Master 5 V2 Frame Kit,
ImpulseRC Apex EVO 5" FPV Frame Kit
iFlight Nazgul Evoque V2 Frame Kit
GEPRC Mark5 Pro DC O3 Frame
I will be so glad if you recommend which is best and also maybe some of you have experience with these frames. Thank you in advance!
I have never had a fpv drone and was wondering if this is a good beginner drone or if i should get one of dji's. If you recommend one of dji's drone, what one would you recommend? And if this helps, I dont want to spend more then $2000 CAD on everything combined.(Drone, Batterys, Controller etc)
With a $2000 budget, get yourself the AVATA 2, and then after you have flown it for awhile, then get yourself the DJI REMOTE 3. Watch my full review of the AVATA 2 and you'll understand my recommendation.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank You
I thought those original DJI FPV googles did not work with the O3 Unit ? So if I want to use my original DJI FPV googles and controller like yours. I would buy the drone as BNF- DJI Receiver ? Thanks Captain. Im looking to get my first pre built. 😃
Original FPV goggles are called Version 1. They work with the original DJI Air system and not the DJI 03 Air. But, they also work with the RUNCAM WASP which is in many new drones.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks Capt ! I might just get it with ELRS, the Jumper TPro and DJI Integra 👍
Because you have piloted nearly every drone that has been on the market, I was wondering what you thought about the "drone" incident that occurred in Tucson . . . apparently twice, most recently on February 9th of 2021 approximate first sighting at 10:46 PM local time, and earlier on December 20th in 2016, around 10:58 PM local time. Both encounters were highly similar, and began in the air over Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The drone outran a police helicopter, and a Border Patrol helicopter of which the aircrew of both crafts said the drone was incredibly agile, with a long endurance and a high flight ceiling, all of that was allegedly combined with an uncanny level of situational awareness, enabling the drone to essentially fly circles around both of the experienced helicopter crews. It has been described as a large quadcopter-like platform featuring a single, dimly lit green position light. Yet, its single dim green light was at the perfect wavelength to be filtered out by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection helo crew's night vision goggles, and the same for the Tucson Police Department's goggles. The drone was able to outrun both helicopters as it flew through military airspace, deftly maneuvered around both helicopters with bizarre agility, and ultimately disappeared into cloud cover above the altitude the helicopters could safely fly. Further, the drone maintained a speed of 75 knots in a 30-knot headwind. One of the TPD crewmen stated that the drone had to be satellite-driven because there's no line-of-sight. The helicopters chased the drone for over an hour, and who knows how long it was flying before the chase initiated. No radar reflection.
There are many other intriguing details regarding this/these incident(s), but I was curious what you thought about these "drones", if you are familiar with the event. If not, you might find it an interesting subject. Plenty of sites covering this subject, yet RUclips will not allow us to post a link that leads anywhere outside of the RUclips site/platform.

I am not familiar with those incidents (they seem really old).
Hey guys is if the connector for the batteries out of my drone is out the side rather than the back is it bad?
Perfectly fine
Is O3 compatible with the old version 1 of the DJI FPV remote control ? thank you
O3 is compatible with the grey DJI FPV remote.
thank you :-)
Do you have any ideas how long will be flying time with 4000 mah?
Yikes.... max is maybe 1500. 4000 is what you stick in an RC Car or RC Plane. Unless of course it is a LION battery.
I just bought the Nazgul F5 and for the life of me cannot get it to bind to my controller. Do you happen to know where exactly the bind button is? I'm sure it's on the bottom part of the quad, but can't see where it is.
First thing you need to know I what receiver is in your drone & do you have a compatible radio
Im thinkin to get this drone as my first fpv drone. 😊 which controller best suits stuck with elrs and dji controller
In the RC hobby, the word "controller" and "remote" is what GPS Camera pilots use to describe the item in their hand (you can thank DJI for that). When you talk about the RC hobby of RC Cars, Trucks, Boats, Helicopters, Planes, FPV Drones, the term to use is TRANSMITTER or RADIO. The only reason I mention this is because if you ask a company about their "Controller" they may not know what you are talking about. So to answer your question... RADIOMASTER and JUMPER make great RADIO's that are ELRS only. If you wish to stick with your DJI FPV REMOTE then make sure you buy an FPV Drone that has the DJI O3 Air unit in it and NO receiver (in other words get the PNP version). If you buy one with an ELRS Receiver, then you need an ELRS Radio/transmitter.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the radiomaster trivia haha... Il be watching more your videos to learn more about fpvs. keep flyin 🙂
Can it bind with the DJI v2 googles?
It works with DJI V2 Goggles and DJI Goggles 2
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks!
Are the F6 arms compatible with the F5 frame?
I've never tried it
Does it work with the new FPV goggles by DJI? (the one that comes with Avatta)
Yes
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks!! Looks like a purchase for me then haha
so if i get this drone i can just use teh DJI FPV goggles and radio for it?
Yes, if you get the PNP version
DJI sent Steve something? I can't believe it 😆
DJI still has me on their Naughty List. IFlight is the one that sent it to me back in October.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Oh, i should have known
Hello Captain Drone,
your video was one of the reasons I bought the drone. Today I had my first flight and it maneuvers really wonderfully. However, I had two small problems. Maybe you can help me solve them.
For one thing, the battery status was not displayed in the goggles during the flight. The display is simply permanently at 0%. On the other hand, the RSSI Low error message is constantly displayed although the connection is good. I use the DJI FPV Controller 2. Maybe it has something to do with it? best regards!
Could be an issue with your BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR setup. You can modify what you see there and also remove any RSSI display.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks it worked! I only have one problem left. I fly the drone with two different batteries. On the one hand the 4000 mAh battery and on the other hand the 1350 mAh battery. When I fly the small battery everything is great and after I have used 1200 mAh I get a battery warning in the goggles. That's the way it has to be. But if I fly with the 4000 mAh battery, it gives me a battery warning after I have used up 1200 mAh. This is of course very annoying because I still have almost 3000 mAh in the battery. Is that also a problem that I can fix in Betaflight and if so, where?
@@tomsell1208 Yes. You can set the min voltage that you wish to be warned of low voltage.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks a lot!
I just had the exact same thing happen to mine, except I wasn't on a full throttle run. I was going pretty fast, but slowing to turn and it just noped out. Luckily the battery took the brunt of the crash and the drone is fine, but what is wrong with this thing? I wasn't even as far away from myself as you were when mine let go.
Very odd indeed!
Which remote were you using?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 DJI controller 2. Watching the Goggle playback I'm fairly sure it just lost signal and triggered fail safe. I was in line of sight and closer than you, but you can see rapidly drop from 50, 34, 16 out of nowhere right before video loss.
@@texasreddirt1408 There are more and more reports coming out that it is the O3 comms with the DJI FPV Controller. Apparently if there was a receiver on the drone like cross fire or ELRS this does not occur (motors disarm). Guess we’ll find out more as time goes on.
@@texasreddirt1408 There seems to be a known issue between O3 Unit, DJI Controller 2 (RC2) and iFlight. Supposedly, iflight replaces the stock O3 dual band 2.4ghz/5.8ghz LHCP antenna with two 5.8ghz only LHCP antennas which is causing the issue with the RC2 which is 2.4ghz.
I don't mind seeing the props in drone videos. Or when I'm flying fpv.
great review Steve but £576.41p is a lot of dosh have a look after christmas might come down a bit {not like your nazgul did} aaaahhhh opps.
Unfortunately the DJI 03 Unit is expensive so all FPV Drones going forward will all be in the price range of $500 to $700 US.
