Any chance you could make a step by step video for people like myself coming from FPV and Avata to a BNF like this and plan on using DJI controller 2 Setup and Betaflight....
My wife bought me an Evoque F5D for Christmas last year and it has been incredible. I can only imagine it being better with the O3 system. I run a Caddx Peanut on mine just because it is so light. The O3 feed is an upgrade over that for sure.
@@FPV_TOMMY I have the Iflight page up now. After what DJI did with that Avata update it does concern me. The whole internet connection BS should not have happened, the quad also drops out of the sky. DJI's solution was to have the quad kick into normal mode when it fails. That is a bandaid, not a fix and they throw remote ID in the same update which from what I hear forces users to have an internet connection. The final rule of 2020 specifically stated that an internet connection would not be required but DJI and the FAA do whatever is best for them. Worst case scenario I would go back to analog.
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing Ian . I’m lucky to own one of the previous versions it is by far my 1st choice. Iflight are just producing great equipment for this hobby .
Same but I think I'm going to just buy the frame and o3 air and swap my f5d over. The F5D is great my only concern is the weight. Which is why I'm also consider going with the AOS5 O3
@@swb1410 well you can't do hardcore freestyle on the Evoque. But AOS 5 is lightweight and durable. It also flies better because you can put less filters meaning you get less latency which improves handling. Overall AOS feels sharper and responsive.
Hi, Awesome video👍 The best possible version of this would be with build in GPS which they do as well so you can get the information like altitude, distance, home position to your goggles. It's no poit to buy one without GPS. You can have it all in one straight from the box already installed. Great drone gamechanger in FPV world. It's so much easier these days. Have all a wonderful day 👍🙂
I do RC plane chases with my DJI FPV drone. I like it just fine. But it tops out at about 85 miles an hour. I'm looking at this drone as a replacement for the higher end chases. I only judge by 2 things. Speed and endurance. Can the 5,6, or 7 do speeds in excess of 85 and maintain them for a flight time over 4 minutes?
Excellent technical report out! If using DJI FPV controller and V2 googles do the DJI components in this Nazgul config require remote-ID activation during the binding process?
Just got mine delivered today. Flies like a dream. The only negative is I miss the black remote. I’m going to have to get used to this new gray remote. I’m not too crazy about the buttons I’d rather the switches.
How would you compare this to the GEPRC MK5? I own the MK5 already and absolutely love it. I would like a second one and don't mind trying this particular model if it lives up to the MK5. Thank you for your time!
Does the O3 unit have a custom case? Can you not swap to a different frame? If you break the air unit, do you need to buy a custom unit from iflight? Or is it just a holder for the OEM case?
Hey Ian, amazing video. I uave bought the analogue version and trying to replace the analogue vtx with o3. What connector and is it a direct jst cable or does it split to connect to the FC?
Heyy! This is gonna be my first drone (iFlight Nazgul F6 V2 6S, 2.4Gz RX), I'm curious: 1. How do I connect the DJI O3 to the Integra and the Drone to the Commando 8 ELRS 2.4Gz (I dont know how things work around the FPV world)? 2. Do I need any additional antenna for the remote (Commando 8 ELRS 2.4Gz)? 3. Does the battery charge through the drone's type C port? (If not then I guess the HOTA D6 charger is a mandatory purchase?)
it was hard to know which bnf DJI O3 system to go with for a relative fpv newb wanting to get more into cinematic freestyle (avata in manual and 50 hours in the sim - terrible) :) went with the geprc mark5 ordered direct from geprc. fingers crossed you can do a proper review of that system when you get your hands on one. great review as always - subscribed
@@joshuasterling2144 I have the Zorro Radiomaster 4 in 1 so I’ve preordered the 1 watt nano Radiomaster elrs module for it but also bought the tiny elrs radio from geprc to have for backup and to use while waiting on the module.
@@PaulStephenson003 Oh nice, I have a radio in that family. The tx16s carbon. I have an elrs module but I am afraid I may have hurriedly ordered the smaller module and since I have moved I have not flown at all. Cheers and good luck. Gep does a good job and so does iFlight. I have had quads from both.
What antennas are those?? and can that be used with the DJI Controller 2 and FPV Goggles 2? Would it require changing the antennas on the goggles 2? (the ones that came with the Avata)
Hi Ian. Really helpful video. I'm In the process of building this drone. On the Blitz mini wiring diagram it shows the use of a BEC voltage regulator between the 03 air unit and FC? Do you think is required or just a nicety? thanks
At this time watching this video it appears GitHub branches changed.. There is an iFlight-factory-4.3; however, normally in software development feature branches are worked and then merged into the main branch (master, main, or a developer branch). Is there a reason to not just point to the master branch, or maybe at the time of recording these presets were not merged into master yet?
I'm a newb but have 30+ years in rc choppers. I'm primarily only interested in sub 250 gm quads, but this and others like it look very interesting. I've ordered the G2 goggles so the 03 camers is what I want some day. I'm not really interested in all the crazy flying called freestyle and am mostly interested in doing surveillance and cinematography. Comparatively, this drone is close to the DJI Mini 3 Pro in price. I'm sure when the Mini 4 Pro comes out with this 03 camera, it will be much more than the 3 Pro, especially since it will have the added side sensors. So here's my no drone time, ignorant question. For my desired goal in flying, would the DJI Mini type drones (sub 250 gm) be a better choice? This is a bigger badder freestyle drone I know and u can run your own size batteries, but there's no avoidance system at all. When u r 76 u need avoidance systems. Maybe I just answered my own question.
Wow what a beautiful piece of work from iflight. DJI knocked it out of the park with the o3 system. I have a quick question on recording with the air unit. I have went through all the settings. All flights stop recording at about 3 minutes 43 seconds then it starts a 2nd file that records the rest of the flight. I sure hope there is a setting I am missing. If anyone knows I would really appreciate the fix! Thank you in advance.,!!
Hello Mads Tech, thanks a lot for a great video. I´m having a hard time trying to mount the DJI o3 VTX Heatsink from iflight on my new Iflight Nagul Evoque F6 V2. Do you have an idea about how to mount it? Thank you very much.
I would really like to see performance reviews. Blackbox logs and seeing what the tuning limits are because of frame resonances. It feels like aside from AOS nobody is really looking into the flight characteristics of these things.
He’s just not a BNF review guy. I was wondering the same thing. I’ve heard talk about gyros not working properly for image stabilization, and it would be nice to know how the quad handles those issues. Mads Tech is on a high right now and I suspect he’s trying to use this platform to boost his channel or something. He knows a lot, but there’s way too much repeated information. He’s basically making a lot of these videos assuming the viewer hasn’t watched anything on the O3. Gosh, the cliche BNF title just made me roll my eyes. How can you suggest something the best if you don’t even fly it, and also, there aren’t any O3 BNFs really to compete with.
Ok No1 , no where have I said Iv not flown it. At the point of making this video I had over 20 flights on the craft however at that point I decided to stop it there and I will cover the rest in another video. 2: yes I aimed this at people who don’t t know what O3 is. For as many people who complain about to much info on O3 as many would complain they knew nothing about it. It’s a no win for me. 3: I make the content I choose to make and frankly if you don’t like it don’t watch. Iflight reached out and I agreed to look at it. I’m sorry that does not suit what you expect but again frankly I don’t care. I can do what ever the hell I want on my channel. If I wanted to start to make Betaflight content I could, no one dictates what I do on my channel and just because you don’t think I should cover it changes nothing. If you don’t like it then please watch else where, that’s what’s amazing about RUclips there is something for everyone.
Love what iFlight is doing with their FPVs! The 02 version of this quad is fantastic as well......great review as always! One thing I've not been able to confirm (though specs look the same) is; Is the DJI O3 Air Unit Camera the exact same camera that's built into the AVATA System? Specs look the same...perhaps someone can confirm?
hello. When you buy it with another receiver (crossfire, ELRS...), can it only be linked to that one? or also to the dj's remote controller2 too? thanks for the video!!!
You would have to rewire it to take the input from the O3 but it’s absolutely possible. They usually remove the wires from the harness though on ELRS models so you would need a new cable from the O3 to the FC.
Help? I don't see any presets in the preset tab. It days error loading presets from the internet. Any thoughts? Edit: Now some have appeared but if I write nazgul or iflight in the search it's empty. Under categories drop down menu I don't even have BNF option. It stars with filters. I have Beta Flight 4.3.2 I'm also kind of afraid to flash the firmware on the flight controller this being a BNF drone. I watched Joshua Bardwell Betaflight tutorial and he said this will erase all setting iFlight has put on it.
What's the angle of the cage upfront? Does it still protect the camera and no frame in view when it's at any angle besides the same angle as the front of the cage?
Hi Ian, I dont see the iflight github link you mentioned in your video. I dont see it in the description. How can I get that link.? Love the content as always!
It would be "massive" 😉 if iflight was going to Release a bnf where the complete O3 Air Unit was Hot swappable to be able to transfer it quickly to another quad (like a gopro) or use it with a 3d print and lipo as a Action cam. Cheers!
Hmmm, I feel that theoretically that this would not be too hard to do, you would need to solder a plug to the o3, and plugs to the different quads that you are going to use them, then you would just need to unscrew a few screws, nice it over, plug it in, then unscrew it. (You probably wouldn’t have to change any BF settings if you only fly with that o3 and do your another system in there in the mean time. I feel like this is a super good idea that could become a thing because o3 units are not cheap lol, and if you have 6 or 7 quads… that gets expensive
@@zuzmw you are probablly right. Nxp200 has never the less tryed to Design such a thing he calls It the nxp200 03 switchblock ruclips.net/video/_UYBph-CrHs/видео.html . I think it is a very good First try tho it is to heavy and would need a frame with a short top plate. Also the betafpv Pico o3 is kinda good step in the right direction but they haven't had the ability to hotswap in mind I am afraid. What do you think?
Thanks for the video, I ordered mine today! but I have seen some video vibration on O3 and Chimera 7 Pro HD v2, is that the case with this one as well?
there is only one feature that is missing for me, and that is wireless Betaflight config. I would like to build that quad myself, but then I'm missing the custom heatsink. And I guess that is mandatory for the closed frame style.
Hello mate, I'm also new to this fpv but have been flying heli's for years. I've just got one of these and am waiting the the goggles to come into stock but was wondering, can the light be turned off if you want to? Thanks! And love you videos mate 😁
Pleasee share your video footage of this quad. I'm interested to see if the props in view or not because I want to use it without the GoPro mounted on top.
Hey man thanks for the review. I have the dji googles 2 and the dji fpv remote controller 2 and i just lost my avata to the sea. What will be different from the avata in terms of security features? Can you activate the RTH and pause button like with the avata? Thanks a lot.
Hi @Mads Tech! I have bought this exact model with CRSF as a used drone for cheap. I am a complete beginner and upgraded from a DJI Avata. I was expecting it to work BNF with the Goggles 2 and DJI FPV Remote 2. Unfortunately, it seems that this is not the case since the CRSF RX is using the UART2 Port and Serial SBUS from DJI O3 is not connected. Does anybody know how to easily make it work with my setup? I was assuming I can just switch UARTS in Betaflight but it does not seem to be as easy as that... Again, I am really new to the hobby and wiring diagrams are pretty much like hieroglyphs to me for now.. :O
@MadRC I have the DJI v2 goggles. I'm very new to all of this FPV stuff. ( I bought DJI avata and FPV. ) this is my first proper fpv drove. I can bind the controller. But not the goggles.
Technical question: The avata has GPS, so region is set on the goggles2 based on region (atleast my understanding, unless DJI ships 2 different pre-activated FCC and CE goggles and O3's). But we if you just buy the goggles2 and o3, how does the system know you are in europe and be in CE mode? Now, I bought and iFlight Nazgul Evoque F5 V2 with O3 (should arrive tomorrow), but since it comes from China, wouldnt that be an SRRC model? Or how are these modes set. Tried to understand but it is hard to find any info. I have the Avata also and have it set to FCC with the HAM file. But how does the O3 switch? If I understand correctly, it's the goggles2 that tell what mode the O3 should be?
@@MadRC Thx, well according to iflight, they test the quad before sending it, wouldnt that mean it is activated already? Wonder if you use VPN to be in the states and activate it, it will be FCC. But if it is activated already... KInda screwed. Not sure if yours came pre-activated for review. Thx for the reply though and good morning!
Fcc / ham hack working ? Since its the release version would be goos to know since you said the beta fw doesn’t have the ham file function Without a way around CE mode this is just an expensive paperweight
Great Review! I plan to get an O3 drone. I usually build my own, but this looks like about what I would build anyway. I noticed you liked the Iflight AOS 5 also. I see that now has a 03 version. The hardware looks the same. I think the AOS 5 frame is slightly better for freestyle ? I guess the difference would be durability and weight maybe ?
Aos 5 is just fantastic too. But they are quite different. I’d say the Nazgul is like a high end M series BMW, lots of great additions and really well made but more than capable. And the AOS5 is like a mclaren, stripped back raw and just on point. The Aos is probably the best it’s got just what you need BNF period.
Hey Mads, have you experience any issue like what OriginalDobo had with loss of video ? i saw on captain drone had a crash as well. I just bought this quad, havent flown it yet, wld be using it to get cinematic shots, over water alot, have a fear now of it losing video and losing my go pro etc.
I have seen no issues my self. My advice is the same for any quad. You should perform any testing and shake down flights in a safe known location. Make sure everything is working as expected before doing anything risky and understand that there is always more risk flying over water than land. Many strange and crazy things happen over water you often don’t see over land and understand the risks. Other than that you will be fine.
Hi Mads Tech. Are antenna LHCP or Liniear ? google 2 have linear antennas or LHCP ? i own GOOGLE V2 with standard antennas and they seem LHCP.... this is a mess, can't find any info about that
Do you think you could help me with my setup, I got a Nazgul v2 03 and commando 8. I cannot get the commando to link with the nazgul. What steps did you take????
Any chance you could make a step by step video for people like myself coming from FPV and Avata to a BNF like this and plan on using DJI controller 2 Setup and Betaflight....

Any insight on what's under the heat wrap of the spark arrestor device? I'm soo curious
It’s a soft start fet circuit.
Hi Ian, I dont see the iflight github link you mentioned in your video. I dont see it in the description. How can I get that link.? Love the content as always!
Hi, am I missing something, there is no link to flight github ;)
you didn't put the URL to the iflight presets in the description
It would be "massive" 😉 if iflight was going to Release a bnf where the complete O3 Air Unit was Hot swappable to be able to transfer it quickly to another quad (like a gopro) or use it with a 3d print and lipo as a Action cam. Cheers!
Hmmm, I feel that theoretically that this would not be too hard to do, you would need to solder a plug to the o3, and plugs to the different quads that you are going to use them, then you would just need to unscrew a few screws, nice it over, plug it in, then unscrew it. (You probably wouldn’t have to change any BF settings if you only fly with that o3 and do your another system in there in the mean time. I feel like this is a super good idea that could become a thing because o3 units are not cheap lol, and if you have 6 or 7 quads… that gets expensive
@@zuzmw you are probablly right. Nxp200 has never the less tryed to Design such a thing he calls It the nxp200 03 switchblock ruclips.net/video/_UYBph-CrHs/видео.html . I think it is a very good First try tho it is to heavy and would need a frame with a short top plate. Also the betafpv Pico o3 is kinda good step in the right direction but they haven't had the ability to hotswap in mind I am afraid. What do you think?
the dji o3 the problem fixed with the controller disconnect
?>
I'm really jealous of the O3 cable, it always causes problems with my Vista.
Thanks for the video, I ordered mine today! but I have seen some video vibration on O3 and Chimera 7 Pro HD v2, is that the case with this one as well?
there is only one feature that is missing for me, and that is wireless Betaflight config. I would like to build that quad myself, but then I'm missing the custom heatsink. And I guess that is mandatory for the closed frame style.
Maybe I'm blind, I didn't find the link in the description
Hello mate, I'm also new to this fpv but have been flying heli's for years. I've just got one of these and am waiting the the goggles to come into stock but was wondering, can the light be turned off if you want to? Thanks! And love you videos mate 😁
Pleasee share your video footage of this quad. I'm interested to see if the props in view or not because I want to use it without the GoPro mounted on top.
D-version not visible
X-version visible
I have exactly the same drone but I don't know how to connect my remote control jumper T15
Great job!!
While we all are amazed with this model, Iflight's O3 version of Chris Rosser's AOC is already listed online.
Rosser is smashing it out the park as well
Which charger is best for this drone?
So i bought this frame kit.... but noticed u said the fc stack was a mini... will my 30x30 stack fit on this? Or do I need to purchase a 20x20 now?
Hi can i record the gyrodata on the 03 airunit and then use it for bmpcc 4k in gyroflow ?
Hey man thanks for the review. I have the dji googles 2 and the dji fpv remote controller 2 and i just lost my avata to the sea. What will be different from the avata in terms of security features? Can you activate the RTH and pause button like with the avata? Thanks a lot.
There is a GPS add on you can get which enables RTH mode.
Mark 5 or this? Which is better
Hi @Mads Tech! I have bought this exact model with CRSF as a used drone for cheap. I am a complete beginner and upgraded from a DJI Avata. I was expecting it to work BNF with the Goggles 2 and DJI FPV Remote 2. Unfortunately, it seems that this is not the case since the CRSF RX is using the UART2 Port and Serial SBUS from DJI O3 is not connected.
Does anybody know how to easily make it work with my setup? I was assuming I can just switch UARTS in Betaflight but it does not seem to be as easy as that... Again, I am really new to the hobby and wiring diagrams are pretty much like hieroglyphs to me for now.. :O
Can we buy the TPU mount for the o3? If so where?
Hi, great video. I purchased this drone and Im having such a hard time linking the DJI goggles up with the drone. Any help? Thank you
What DJI goggles you have ?
@MadRC I have the DJI v2 goggles. I'm very new to all of this FPV stuff. ( I bought DJI avata and FPV. ) this is my first proper fpv drove. I can bind the controller. But not the goggles.
@@SeeExperiencedid you ever figure it out ?
I really want to try this drone out
great video as always! i dont see the iflight presets page in the description
That’s a good point
@@MadRC Thanks for adding them.
i need this link Bro :) I dont see RC2 in reciver.please help me :)
Technical question: The avata has GPS, so region is set on the goggles2 based on region (atleast my understanding, unless DJI ships 2 different pre-activated FCC and CE goggles and O3's). But we if you just buy the goggles2 and o3, how does the system know you are in europe and be in CE mode? Now, I bought and iFlight Nazgul Evoque F5 V2 with O3 (should arrive tomorrow), but since it comes from China, wouldnt that be an SRRC model? Or how are these modes set. Tried to understand but it is hard to find any info. I have the Avata also and have it set to FCC with the HAM file. But how does the O3 switch? If I understand correctly, it's the goggles2 that tell what mode the O3 should be?
Region is set on activation by assistant 2 or the fly soo. That how it knowns
@@MadRC Thx, well according to iflight, they test the quad before sending it, wouldnt that mean it is activated already? Wonder if you use VPN to be in the states and activate it, it will be FCC. But if it is activated already... KInda screwed. Not sure if yours came pre-activated for review. Thx for the reply though and good morning!
Fcc / ham hack working ? Since its the release version would be goos to know since you said the beta fw doesn’t have the ham file function
Without a way around CE mode this is just an expensive paperweight
Any news on this?
I don't think the links are in the description like the says...
Iv been waiting on them.
Where is the Github Link???? It's not in the description.
Great Review! I plan to get an O3 drone. I usually build my own, but this looks like about what I would build anyway.
I noticed you liked the Iflight AOS 5 also. I see that now has a 03 version. The hardware looks the same. I think the AOS 5 frame is slightly better for freestyle ?
I guess the difference would be durability and weight maybe ?
Aos 5 is just fantastic too. But they are quite different. I’d say the Nazgul is like a high end M series BMW, lots of great additions and really well made but more than capable. And the AOS5 is like a mclaren, stripped back raw and just on point. The Aos is probably the best it’s got just what you need BNF period.
iFlight: We care.
Hey Mads, have you experience any issue like what OriginalDobo had with loss of video ? i saw on captain drone had a crash as well. I just bought this quad, havent flown it yet, wld be using it to get cinematic shots, over water alot, have a fear now of it losing video and losing my go pro etc.
I have seen no issues my self. My advice is the same for any quad. You should perform any testing and shake down flights in a safe known location. Make sure everything is working as expected before doing anything risky and understand that there is always more risk flying over water than land. Many strange and crazy things happen over water you often don’t see over land and understand the risks. Other than that you will be fine.
@@MadRC Much Respect Mads and thanks for your advice.
Would anyone know what aerials this drone uses, i.e lhcp or rhcp
i built mine love it
Hi Mads Tech. Are antenna LHCP or Liniear ? google 2 have linear antennas or LHCP ? i own GOOGLE V2 with standard antennas and they seem LHCP.... this is a mess, can't find any info about that
There is no lhcp on the dji v2's, they transmit liniar
Do you think you could help me with my setup, I got a Nazgul v2 03 and commando 8. I cannot get the commando to link with the nazgul. What steps did you take????
Do I need to configure my settings through beta flight?

Please help add iFlight preset URL and Github Branch. Thank you very much.
Spark arrester device? What’s inside there? Just a capacitor? Why the weird wiring?
It’s more than a cap but I need to investigate more.
@@MadRC
That would be interesting. Great videos mate! :)
There is only 6s version of Evoque...May I use 4s batteries for it?
Yes, but it will have less power
