agreed. for guys like me that have been flying DJI/digital for sometime and are new to FPV, the ability to see details with the goggles in addition to high quality HD/dvr camera platform is a big step forward and will bring more people into the sport. Hopefully, this will be a wake up call for the early adopter legacy/analog developers/companies and the future will bring new and innovative products to choose.
Great review. Definitely share your enthusiasm for HD FPV! It's game changing. Waiting for this quad to arrive. One thing I was disappointed with is that GEPRC currently only sells it with either DJI RC controls or CRSF. Would have been nice to have FrSky as I wasnt ready to switch to CRSF yet.. but long range wont hurt I guess... except for my wallet haha I was hesitating between the Mark 4 and the DC5. Glad you compared. I'm a long time user of GEPRC products and always been satisfied so I went with the Mark 4 but really was hoping for a full on freestyle quad instead, with aluminium front end like the Elegant or the Marmotte. I guess I'll have to wait a little bit longer.
I own the Mark 5 but now I want to go back and also buy the Mark 4... Love full air unit 5in quad, no props in view even better.... I cant built it as cheap as the bnf direct from gep... hmmm
Just built my first ever quad with this frame, Kakute F7 stack, crossfire nano, Rotor Riot Hypetrain Blaster 2207 motors, DJI HD unit . Passed the smoke test but struggling to wire in capacitor as no room. How easy is it to wire into battery lead
Easy to wire into the batt lead. Cut the wire back some. Tin a spot on the wire. Get it nice and thick. Lay the capacitor - side in the solder. Then do the + side. Cover with some liquid electric tape.
Drone Camps RC looking at the images from Banggood it does seem to have one drive.google.com/file/d/1t3eS_dP811sK9zxjs01DF969Nl7Q-rVz/view?usp=drivesdk
Whats the Flight time? Is its just me or is it for some Drones extremly hard to find out the flight times.... im pretty new in FPV but in all those websites where they sell drones or even reviews they never state information i wanna know, like the Flight Time, Top Speed, Top Range etc.
I just built one of these up 4s using the Geprc stack. It is flying great now that I have all the settings correct. It looks straight out of an HG Wells book. What version of Betaflight are you using? If 4.1, are you using RPM filtering?
Hi Justin, Love the channel, thanks for all your hard work and dedication! I've just received the Mark4 HD5 PNP but can't connect the xm+. I've used the Rx2 pad, set it betaflight and binding is successful but the receiver isn't talking to the flight controller. Any idea's where I'm going wrong?
Hi Justin. That was a good review. I have been using the DJI FPV Air for a month. I always make sure that the air unit is in solid contact with the carbon fiber of the frame for good cooling. Why do you try to isolate it from your frame? I have had no problems. Thanks. Much respect.
thank you for this video...i would like to ask you if i just need the capacitor for running air unit with 6s lipo or i need an extra bec with 12v out...thanx...
Do you know if the version ‘with TBS Crossfire’ can also be used with a Dji Radio and no Crossfire at all? Asking becaus shipping is a month shorter on Banggood.
Yo Justin, I really appreciate your videos as a guy who wants to start fpv. I wanna go full throttle from the start and go for dji, the only thing that prevents me from buying the system is that I want to also fly whoop-style small stuff like a tinyhawk freestyle size. Any rumors that dji will deliver a micro- version that talks to the goggles?
Hello my friend I have a taranis qx7 control and dji glasses for the racing edition version, will it be that if I buy only the drone with the option without receiver works ?? I would like you to help me in this matter please, hug from switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Great review. Waiting for this to arrive myself. Just to note though, I don't think you need to worry so much about the air unit shorting out on the carbon - I'd go ahead and just strive for better heat dissipation.
@@dronecamps interesting! You'd think the chassis would be grounded. They certainly don't mention having to isolate it. I'd suspect the frame has/had voltage or some other short occurred, but I don't blame you for being paranoid! Keep up the good work 👌
@@dronecamps Hummm, me too. Since I haven't heard of any problems I thought it was just something I had done, and it might have been. It took DJI nearly a month to get it worked out with me but they did replace it.
Hey, you've got some solid reviews man, already convinced me to get the CineGo, it's a rad machine, but now looking for something faster and stable for bigger flights around mountains etc. Any idea on flight time for the Mark4 with a Go Pro?
thehyperspeed assuming you understand you need to have the dji digital fpv goggles, all you’ll need after that is a receiver and transmitter, I recommend the nicest frsky pair you can afford, something like a qx7 along with an rxsr will work just fine.
thehyperspeed I’m not sure what you mean by mark 3 or 4, but if you never want to fly analog, only digital, you could also get the dji controller, then you wouldn’t have to get a receiver or transmitter, as it all works in unison. However, if you do this, and you want to end up racing or using analog, you’ll have to end up buying a new radio. If I’m being honest, unless you never want to deal with analog and you’ll be in the hobby for the long run, analog is currently the fastest and cheapest way to learn. That said, digital fpv is groundbreaking and currently the best, so at this point you’ll have to choose between the two, based on whether or not you think you’d like to continue in the hobby. You could also get a sim such as drl sim, on steam, and learn how to fly that way. That would be the best budget way to learn how to fly, allowing you to practice and improve and also decide whether or not you’d like to continue with fpv. If you do the simulator then there’s honestly no reason not to choose digital, as it’s superior in all aspects, just slightly more latency, which only affects hardcore racers. It’s a lot of info to take in I know, but just keep watching RUclips, and do some research, it’s an expensive hobby to just kinda jump in to, which is why everyone recommends analog, as it’s cheaper. So, say you buy a qx7, learn how to use it and connect it to the sim on your computer, and learn to fly. At that point, you can them choose whether you want to go analog or digital. If you choose analog, it’ll be less quality, and I would argue more expensive over the long term, however there are many more products and options. Should you choose digital, the upfront cost will be much higher, and there are currently many less products on the market for beginners, but the system is ultimately superior, and will do nothing but grow. Not sure if I’m helping or just rambling but from personal research and experience that’s my opinion, hope I helped
@@ianozborne1555 wow thanks for a lot of input. I will learn with analog first because I don't want to spent more for the first time, I need to learn first as I do with DJI drones. learn with Mavic air and now using Mavic 2pro.
thehyperspeed for sure, and also when you go for analog stuff, getting a $20 drone simulator on the computer, like drl sim or liftoff, will save you soooo much money and make you a much better pilot starting out, you will learn how to fly in acro mode, without any self leveling or gps or anything like that, and then once you go out and fly your first fpv drone in acro mode it’ll be much much easier and you’ll avoid a lot of expensive crashes
I went for crossfire nano.Can't forget the extra expense of DJI radio,all adds up.Only downside of sticking with my Taranis and crossfire is no RSSI in googles.
6:36 - looks like if you land in the wet grass you're going to have a massive ESC short out and FET explosion fire with those bottom ESC pads exposed and hanging out the side. Maybe a cut to fit strip of black electrical tape suck on those to cover them up at least from the bottom before you roman candle your $400 quad. Add in the goggles and controller and battery and chargers and you're easily talking $1500+ :-/ You could buy a used flying ultralight airplane for that so you have to wonder... is it worth it for such an expensive little toy? Maybe a bit too much markup on stuff that is just plastics, electronics, and little electric motors....

Green grass and no smudge ! nice ..... :)
Taking notes 📝
I own the Mark 5 but now I want to go back and also buy the Mark 4... Love full air unit 5in quad, no props in view even better.... I cant built it as cheap as the bnf direct from gep... hmmm
Is it better than iflight dc5?
hi, i have same question..iFlight Nazghul is also a ver nice quad..good luck and day
what kind of transmitter can u run on this drone like cheapest one @Drone Camps RC
Thank you.
This or the DC5?
Kevin McNeil this, and buy the dc 3
Hey Justin what's the difference between this and the geprc mark 4 HD?
Probably has the onboard 4k Dvr on that one.

Not sure. I can ask.

I'm new on fpv, I got mark 4 hd and I would like to install a gps, how many volts do I need to buy? Which one do you recommend?
Are you sure the Kakute F7 supports bluetooth??.... because it is not mentioned anywhere in their product page
Hi Justin, Love the channel, thanks for all your hard work and dedication! I've just received the Mark4 HD5 PNP but can't connect the xm+. I've used the Rx2 pad, set it betaflight and binding is successful but the receiver isn't talking to the flight controller. Any idea's where I'm going wrong?
Try another pad. Tx
How long is your coaxial cable air unit ?
What stack did you use in your build?
which is your favorite HD BNF so far?
Hi Justin. That was a good review. I have been using the DJI FPV Air for a month. I always make sure that the air unit is in solid contact with the carbon fiber of the frame for good cooling. Why do you try to isolate it from your frame? I have had no problems. Thanks. Much respect.
Is the arm size is same on both mark 4 and mark 4 hd?
Hey can you pleease send me thee stock f7 cli dump I upgraded my 2 fcs from 4.1 to 4.2.3 and now they are both locked up
As soon as they release a 7" version I'm getting one straight away
So for that price, $390 for Mark5 HD5 and $400 for Titan DC5, do those come with a DJi Air Unit already installed on it. . . buying from Banggood?
thank you for this video...i would like to ask you if i just need the capacitor for running air unit with 6s lipo or i need an extra bec with 12v out...thanx...
Capacitor Yes 👍🏻
Could you tell me what’s the flight time?
Will it fly with GoPro or it will be too heavy for it?
Do you know if the version ‘with TBS Crossfire’ can also be used with a Dji Radio and no Crossfire at all? Asking becaus shipping is a month shorter on Banggood.
Komunio Yes, the Dji air unit has a receiver build in. You have to disconnect the tbs and set the quads software up correctly dow.
Which one is better this , the dc5 or the kopis?
The camera images look great. But I really need a ducted drone. Anything with ducts that compares to this built in camera quality?

Xm+? Why not use dji radio? Xm+ (at least in theory) will not go near as far, plus you have extra weight carrying extra receiver.
