    I really like this one, but I'm not a fan of the tower GPS mount. I think a battery strap mounted GPS would work just as well, weigh a few grams less, and maybe fly a little better.

    • @Rimzler
      @Rimzler  10 месяцев назад

      I believe that yes the mount helps, but is the gps being really good, so cold be mounted on an arm for example, on battery strap, or even in the Classic position and still be fine!

    I’m blaming Rimzler for the GPS mount, repeated use of the word ‘boom’ in his content has confused our Chinese friends to the point that they think everything should be on a boom.😮
    Seriously, well made and informative content as usual, I have a couple of criticisms however…. If I’m in the market for a long range quad, I want to see a long range flight, forget the ‘’under 250g” nonsense, nobody takes any notice. Same for cinewhoops, I don’t care if it can’t freestyle, I buy a cinewhoop to erm fly and get cinematic footage. Appreciate that having multiple quads for different types of flying can be expensive but to me it’s about what’s best in each category, any attempt at an all-rounder will always be compromised. Final whinge, the vast majority of people flying 03 won’t use a GoPro, I’d rather see a front mounted GPS.
    Happy new year mate.

      AHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH I gotta expand my vocabulary 😂😂
      Happy new year!
      I agree on most points actually, but consider that laws are becoming stricter and being sub250 is a lot better at least in Europe, so there is a pool of people that are interested in a light drone that's efficient and has RTH
      Of course real long range is achieved with different setups entirely, and often the places where someone does long range don't care about being sub250, mountains for example you can fly a 7 inch no problem and it's the tool for the job!
      Most people with o3 don't use the naked GoPro too, very true, I use vista on sub250 naked gopro drones to save up the weight and put bigger battery, but also consider that most drones I review come in different versions including analog and different flavours of hd, so it's important to keep in mind and don't skip on naked GoPro compatibility!
      I just wish for the smart 35 V2 to happen, that drone was incredible, light, and felt like a sub250g 5 inch, it could do everything

    Is airmode off by default? Could be why it behaves weird when you cut the throttle. Or turn on dynamic idle if airmode is on.

    • @TechnicallyTom
      @TechnicallyTom 10 месяцев назад

      @@Rimzlerturning on air mode would be a better fix for the issue. It does make the quad bounce more on landing but you can disarm immediately on touch down or put air mode on a switch so it can be turned off on landing.

    • @UnmannedSky
      @UnmannedSky 10 месяцев назад

      Don't turn off airmode. It is what gives your quad authority when you chop throttle in flight. Only downside is the bounces on landing. New experimental feature in BF 4.5 to fix that or you can turn airmode on/off with switch.
      BTW min_throttle is an old setting no? I believe it was superceded by idle speed which is also superceded by dynamic idle. Downside of increasing min throttle or idle speed to fix is reduced inverted hang time.
      I'd try ensuring airmode enabled and turn on dynamic idle. Should fix and give you best performance.
      BTW nice video! Love the scenery. Where is it? Tuscany?

    I still use the Smart 35 drone and it's the best drone for me. If I could put GPS on it, then I don't need any other drones.
    Therefore, I am looking for a universal drone so that it is well-controlled, compact, energy efficient and has GPS.
    And I do not know if I should choose Explorer LR4 or this GEPRC LR40.

    • @Rimzler
      @Rimzler  10 месяцев назад

      Smart 35 was one of my favs as well, I hope they make a v2, just stick a gps on it and will be perfect as an o3 all rounder imho, and lighter enough so you can put bigger battery and even maybe fly longer sub250g
      The Explorer was nice I used to replace the smart35, but never flew even close to it, the tern is a little better flying imho but it still isn't the smart!
      The only issue with the smart is that it will probably have propellers In view unless they redesigning arms and front
