Thanks for the amazing video, just got mine i'm still new to FPV I've got Avata 1 but never touched a "real FPV" so thanks for guiding us trough Betaflight etc.. I'm pretty confident for the first flight I'll do today now :)
That looks like a nice little ripper. My first quad over two years ago was a Nazgûl V2. Crashing and fixing that gave me the confidence to start building my own. Think this would be a great first quad for someone.
Great review. I’m looking forward to buy the o3 version but unfortunately the goggles 3 are not compatible with it at the moment. Any infos if Dji is gonna update the o3 in the near future?
I was checking the analog version on the iflight website, since I’m not into DJI. In particular I wanted to see what camera was included, but there is zero spec on it! With all the option buttons on the page, the camera choice is a surprise? Care to review the analog version?
Soooo. Had had this bound up and working with the original betaflight version. However i want the safety of gps rescue. So i installed a gps and updated to betaflight 4.5 since the original version had a bug that didnt allow to set up gps. But now when i turn everything on. I get video from the air unit but no osd, and i cant use mu dji controller 3 anymore . I did store a backup in a text document but havent done anything with it. Dont know how to fix this now. :/
My first digital drone was an iFlight BNF Nazgul5HD, which was reasonably priced way back when I got it. I have nearly twenty drones now, including BNF and custom built and the old Nazgul5HD is still my favourite.
Thank you for your perfect reviews always. Just wondering, Is a possibility to mount a GPS on that ? And of course the availability of a suitable port on the FC ? Having in mind the RTH function.
I agree - iFlight does make incredibly fun, well-built BNF. I think the Nazguls are the most fun -- and the Nazgul line is available in 4", 5" and 6" sizes (and a 10" frame with the Nazgul name, but it is not a BNF).
Thank you, sir. Interesting frame and set-up. I'll probably keep building Source Ones, as I have made them very HDZ friendly. They seem to fly great and I've gotten used to them. [I don't hate DJI, I just prefer HDØ; and support Carl's work/contribution] I greatly appreciate you sharing the BLHeli-32 news coming down the pike and will be better prepared for the future of Quadcopter products. I came from fixed and really love the new birds/flying things. Appreciate all of your content and I'm still very interested in 3D Printing. Curiosity driven. Thanks for the footage, Ian. Blessings ✌
Does this mean the RC link can only use 5,8ghz when using the DJI fpv controller? since it doesn't have the default dual band antenna of the O3 air unit. Will this mean worse performance?
My first drone was the nazgal it was really good but due to the crappy battery life of my zorro it’s now Laying in the bottom of a massive lake but at least it has my hero 7 black for company 😢😢
I have just finished binding everything and when I arm the drone and start to apply the throttle, the motors spin at a certain speed and I can't increase or decrease the speed it's like it get stuck. The throttle only goes about 20 - 25% then gets stuck. I am trying this without the props on and on the floor, in angle mode just to make sure they work.
@MadRC thank you for your reply. Someone said it might be because I'm running it without the props. I think they said the PID or something might be getting confused.
Great video! For $200 the Analog is a pretty great deal for a solid fpv drone that if like the nazgul5 is a durable design, and would nake a great first drone or even just more new drones to fly lol. Whats great about the iflight frames usually is that, if a motor arm does break theyre super quick to swap and used to be like $10 for a pair of them. So having gotten 6 arms total when i bought them and they fit front and rear for the X’s and front or rear for the DC/squashed X version here. Not sure what it’s considered.. So is this basically a Nazgul5 XL5 V5 frame underneath, for the new X version of this, or no? Can this frame in the X be bought separately to build onto? I like the O3 camera guard and ive had really good luck with my nazgul and other iflight drones too Also can you confirm if the frames between this new iflight drone are the same Analog vs O3/HD? Wondering about that for future upgrades to digital O3 later on.. Thanks!
Inwas planning to either buy a nazgul evoque or a flywoo explorer for my first fpv drone, but this one is tempting! BTW, between those two, do you think explorer can be as good as nazgul for polyvalent flights? Because i love the sub250g out of regulation :)
Such a great video. Thank you so much for your contribution for the fpv community. I'm really tempted to buy that drone as first real fpv drone after avata and avata2. Do you think it worth waiting for dji O4 air unit? Regards from UK
Proof folks don't need to spend the price of a 2nd hand runaround car to have loads of fpv fun. I've bought and sold loads of expensive digital quads after playing with them, including the 5" nazgul Evoque, chimera 7", roma f5 v2, apexes, babyhawks, cinelogs, moz 7, bob57, Bee35, and plenty of others. Yet I've still kept my trusty Skystars 5″ Limited Edition DIY F7, 55A ESC Drone Kit that cist £125.11 and I swapped the analogue for a caddx polar vista. For too much emphasis on the best drones, to be flown with mediocre skill nowadays (just like my flying..) . Even this is expensive because of the o3 unit. However, at least when it's crashed you can build the o3 into something else without losing too much sleep over the cost. Thanks for the video Ian.
I’m a Huge I-flight fan. But why does this 5” have a 10amp higher than average esc than the usual Nazgûl or Evoque. And fly noticeably more doggedly than any of the Half dozen blitz 45A Esc equipped quads I’ve owned previously?
On the other hand this was the easiest to configure gps rescue mode out of any drone I’ve ever owned. It was actually shipped with the specifically tailored parameters for gps rescue printed on card.
Why is it dead-cat...Im sure they will have a true-x , nice quad , but dead-cat not for me , I still have my original Envoge flies like a dream, its 4s but configure for 6s....its a beast...thanks Ian🦁🦁🦁
I got this drone and the first thing I changed was the motor direction. I don't like them spinning in towards the middle of the drone. You get all sorts of rubbish into the electronics.
I purchased one of these in a no-receiver - analog - BNF and I have to say iFlight - as a company that gets great reviews.. pretty much sucks.. the instructions and literature for the flight controller and RX connections were very poor and in some cases flat wrong, they glued to the FC a 4 wire setup to the 6 pin UART2 header.. AND chose the non inverted pin. so useless for a SBUS receiver... and since its glued on.. not easy to fix.. so I contacted iFlight and asked why they don't include a 6 wire connector or, like I have seen with other iflight drone reviews, a bag with multiple wire sets for that header.. not only would they not send them, they insisted I go out and find and buy my own.. well if I wanted to do that I would have build the damn thing from scratch.. not paid the money for a BNF... if this was a beginner and did not know that SBUS had to go to the inverted pin.. and just followed iFlights incorrect wiring instructions using their included cable.. they would never get it to work.. I would have bought the O3 version but again, iFlight was marking it up way more than what you can get an O3 for, so I used my own RX.... First and definitely the LAST iFlight POS I spend my money on... when you have to spend your own cash instead of being given one for review.. details mater..
200 for the analog quad is an amazing price in this time frame of fpv, i paid more for a nazgul v2 years ago
Fantastic flying and review, Ian! 😃
Awesome quad indeed!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Just purchased this, and expecting delivery in a few weeks. Great to see it gets your seal of approval. Thank you for yet another amazing review.

There is an X configuration, but it’s only available in the analog version
Dead cat not X
@@mikediggsv2 there is an Eco XL5, it’s an ‘X’ frame. Not deadcat
That looks like a nice little ripper. My first quad over two years ago was a Nazgûl V2. Crashing and fixing that gave me the confidence to start building my own. Think this would be a great first quad for someone.
thank you for the honest review just bought myself one for myself
Thanks! I wonder if they're also making a 4 inch ECO, that's what I'd be after. DC4 ECO!
Great review. I’m looking forward to buy the o3 version but unfortunately the goggles 3 are not compatible with it at the moment. Any infos if Dji is gonna update the o3 in the near future?
considering the cost of just an O3 air unit that is quite the value

Hey i have a question, so i have the goggles v2 and i need a drone that has a dji o3 system right?
@@BlyaCyka Caddx Vista, DJI Air Unit, or DJI o3. They all work with the Goggles V2.
@pheargoth Okay, thanks, and what is receiver? And how do I know which one I need?
Thank you for your perfect reviews always. Just wondering, Is a possibility to mount a GPS on that ? And of course the availability of a suitable port on the FC ? Having in mind the RTH function.
Very nice review.
Is it possible to use an bigger batery and do some mild range flygth ? ( aiming more than 5 minutes, perhaps 8 or 10 minutes ?)
Just bought my first fpv drone. Nazgul Eco

will o3 work with rc3/g3 ?
thinking about buying the Nazgul XL5 ECO 6S i need help with if i should upgrade the receiver and gps? can you help please
My first drone was the nazgal it was really good but due to the crappy battery life of my zorro it’s now Laying in the bottom of a massive lake but at least it has my hero 7 black for company 😢😢
Should I buy the ELRS 2.4GHz version or the ELRS 868/900MHz version? I will be flying with a Radiometer Boxer ELRS.
I have just finished binding everything and when I arm the drone and start to apply the throttle, the motors spin at a certain speed and I can't increase or decrease the speed it's like it get stuck. The throttle only goes about 20 - 25% then gets stuck.

That's really odd. You need to look at your radio settings.
@MadRC thank you for your reply. Someone said it might be because I'm running it without the props. I think they said the PID or something might be getting confused.
this or sub250 oasis 2.5?
At 20:45, you say that you are flying in 04-60fps mode.
Did you mean 03 or is it something I have missed?
No sorry meant O3 😂
Can anyone tell me which uart do i have to use for my dji controller 2 pls?

are they sma or rp-sma?

BTW, between those two, do you think explorer can be as good as nazgul for polyvalent flights? Because i love the sub250g out of regulation :)
Do you fly with 25mW
This or the flywoo explorer LR4? This will be my first big quad purchase.
I have the nazgul Evoque F5 V2 6s gps and now I want this one too 😂😂😂😂

I have been wondering the same thing I want to wait on 04
Hope this doesn't glitch and loose connection like the regular nazguls.
You mean rx loss, or video feed loss? I had problems with mine - my nazgul f6d went into the river :v
Great video - very informative! Anybody have an STL file for a HGLRC M100 Mini to fit on this drone? Been looking for a while! Thanks.

Just an update for anyone planning on getting this drone - it now has side covers and fixed XT60 mount, and at the same price.

Could you please do a 2nd on this comparing punch out ability between this and a blitz 45A Nazgûl V2
Apart the dc vs x, they are all equal, just fc different
Why is it dead-cat...Im sure they will have a true-x , nice quad , but dead-cat not for me , I still have my original Envoge flies like a dream, its 4s but configure for 6s....its a beast...thanks Ian🦁🦁🦁
Theres XL5 Eco - its true x but only for analog
I got this drone and the first thing I changed was the motor direction. I don't like them spinning in towards the middle of the drone. You get all sorts of rubbish into the electronics.
Where is the $200 option?
Analog without receiver - XL5 Eco
@@Mechavis thanks!
Learning how to build a drone is half the fun.
Not for everyone, plus it right now very frequently cost even more than BNF
Pay load area?seems gimmick ? Application? Efficiency? Maneuver? combination? so what's next speed. Passenger safety?1+1 $= 3????1×1=1still?
One little crash with these motors and bells are bend. Xing 1 was much better
They are made of soft material and the grooves on the motor mounts go bad in just a few times.
$200 for a quad is good 👍 going to get a cheap camera and a cheap VTX Remember Tyro

Nerd much?
Here’s a tip
go out and meet a girl for once
It’s laughable how angry and whiny you are
Try buying one with a receiver next time
Is it really ECO? Solar powered? Recycled props? FC chip from a broken washing machine? 😂
Eco means it's worse from the original, same as eco from none eco irl😂
Eco for Economical.
Why is nobody reviewing the $199 version!!!
I'll be doing that in a few days - waitin dor my shipment ;)
@@Mechavis man, you never upload
because... analog 😂
You're British, aren't you ?
Why say the price in dollars ?
Because my largest audience is in the USA as is most of FPV.
