This is a good drone. The only real complaint is how delicate the motor and propeller gears are. They also do not sell the motor gears so if it gets damaged you are out of luck.
Good review and very good flying from yourself. I put mine up today. First time. First flight with a drone ever. Was next to a bowling green with 10ft walls around it. Wind took it over the green... Out of contact with my controller and died right in the middle of the green lol. Had to climb and get it. Some more practice and I think I'll have some real fun with my viper and drones in general
Yeah I bought one last year around Christmas and was never able to connect to it's WiFi even with password I created. I've since forgotten the password and it just keeps on failing to authenticate. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You can change the flight parameters and what-not by accessing the internal router. When you connect to the wifi, hit the info button and get the IP address. Then paste it into a new web browser.
I have different size vipers coming....4-ea 2450HD with FPV. Anyways, i just found out ...You can go to their web site. Have your drone and TX ON wifi....cell or pc. Access the flight control menu....Dial in the yaw again.lol...or whatever Basically sort of like having access to regular type TX menu....but still have stunt buttons.lol. I'll have to wait and see til i get mine..It'll be totally sick. I'll have different 2450 set up to different things...I'll ditch the camera on a couple of them so I can toss it around more and get more flight time . :-P
I have a problem with my Sky viper v2450hd. I have this camera problem that has this showing some violet colour every time when it's expose to bright light or sunlight but my other functions works pretty well but my camera is not okay.
I just got this yesterday and i tried to connect my phone to the drone( the sky viper 2450) and it says the wifi password is viper...BUT the password wont work due to the wifi requiring more letter in order to click the connect button...i have a lg g4 btw...can one help me out on this?
I don't know about horizontally, but I do know with my drone vertically as in height. My VIPER went 162 feet before I lost a signal if that helps. But don't worry if your drone is the Sky Viper Journey GPS model it will come back to you if you get it out of the transmitter range.
Is that choppy recording to the right what you see on your phone while your flying the drone. I'm looking for a drone that has smooth video quality during flight.
This thing is garbage. Just opened it after watching this video and was super let down. Battery hasn’t lasted more than 2 mins of flight time and can’t get it to go more than 20 ft away without losing input response. Good review video
It would depend on the generation of Ipod but i'd have to say no because ipods are old tech and the app needed to run the drone probably wouldnt be compatible with even the newest ipod.
+Dre TheBxGIANT it can fly for about 7 1/2 to 8 minutes with the included battery. There is a battery available that can double that flight time allegedly though. It is not water resistant.
I really enjoyed your review, very insightful. I recently out of pure frustration gave the Sky Viper Journey a very harsh review and pasted that review on every RUclips video I could find on the Sky Viper Journey. Let me explain why. Maybe you can help me. I've had this drone for about two months now and I really enjoyed it at the beginning. I had one snag of a problem that was resolved immediately. But then two weeks ago my frustration was mounting. I flew it one day and luckily I had the drone at a safe altitude because suddenly it just fell to the ground . No damage, thankfully. Long story short is it keeps doing this and a dialogue box keeps popping up on my screen reading GPS: HOLD OFF and then GPS: HOLD ON. I don't know what to do. I'm an amateur in this field of hobby, but I love flying this drone. My reason for the bad review is I've called the phone number provided in the manual for help only to get a message stated it was no longer a working number and the website is of no help for me either. Like I say, I am an amateur at this so if you have any type of solution, please help me kind sir.
The left is the recording to the SD card and the right is the live feed from the drone as you're flying. I'm trying to see if I can adjust some setting in the app to get a better picture.
Chris Walsh Hi Chris! Thank you for your response. Do you have any recommendations for these? I know in the RUclips videos there is probably little wind but in real life I’m always aware that the wind often carries the drones away. Thanks again...loving your channel👌
Thank you! Something like the MJX Bugs 3 is good because it has brushless motors and isn't very cheap, but still flies well and can handle your average windy day. You can also mount a GoPro to it and get better video than one of these Sky Vipers.
This is a good drone. The only real complaint is how delicate the motor and propeller gears are. They also do not sell the motor gears so if it gets damaged you are out of luck.
i like sky viper i actually start this hobby with my skyviper V2400 and i still flying once a while great review bro!!
Thank you! Yeah, there is something I like about the Sky Vipers....they fly pretty smooth and look cool in the air.
Nice 720p camera on it, Nice review! Chris!
Thank you!
I just bought one, great video dude
Good review and very good flying from yourself. I put mine up today. First time. First flight with a drone ever.
Was next to a bowling green with 10ft walls around it. Wind took it over the green... Out of contact with my controller and died right in the middle of the green lol.
Had to climb and get it.
Some more practice and I think I'll have some real fun with my viper and drones in general
Thank you! They are fun to fly. You're lucky it crashed in a spot where you could go get it!
I just ordered one for $50 I can't wait I got the M550 and the S1750 there great.
same
sooooooooo fake lol you get them for $50 it should be like $500
Juan Garcia maybe for a dji. Not this shit brand. Mine crashed within minutes.
Dude it was black Friday deal.
I'll see soon I'm getting a phone to fly it..
I like it ! The FPV wasn't working good but I note in my v2400 that on windy days the fpv was very bad, The drone looks good
Yeah, I feel like I got better FPV out of my v2400hd. This one is really laggy.
This is really good quality! 👍
Thanks!
I just got one for christmas so I'm checking it out
RazorBlade how is it !! Am so confused btw the gps one and the fpv
Mouhamad has95 idk haven't used it yet
RazorBlade ME TOO LOL 😂
just got the v2450 GPS. Allows Ardupilot FC access and can tweak every parameter. Open source! $70 at toys r us. 3DR Rocks!
I want to check it out myself!
What is ardupilot ?
Yeah I bought one last year around Christmas and was never able to connect to it's WiFi even with password I created. I've since forgotten the password and it just keeps on failing to authenticate. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The password has to be exactly 8 characters, no more, no less. This kept throwing me until I figured it out
Great review. You got some really good video of this flying.
Thank you!
Gonna get the tello instead
I guess you can call it skyviper 2450s just like how Apple upgrades it's products. BTW, love your shooting. Very professional looking and cool.
Thanks buddy!
The lag is just from the signal being WiFi and not 5.8ghz.
VampCaff can that be changed?
Is there a way I can change it from WiFi?
Thank you for your review it helped me a lot.
This is pretty dang awesome!
I got one and i learned quickly that it is highly sensitive to wind
Ethan Benson hey ethan any recomendations on a good stable wind sturdy drone?
You can change the flight parameters and what-not by accessing the internal router. When you connect to the wifi, hit the info button and get the IP address. Then paste it into a new web browser.
Thanks for the heads up! I will give it a try and give you a shout out on the channel.
Flight parameters?
can you help me with this wifi i can not connect with wifi of dorne and phone i dont know what is happening
Do we have a text book maximum range for the v2450fpv? Height and distance?
My 2400 the battery blew up, they said they would send me another one but never seen it yet.
How do I turn left to right
I have different size vipers coming....4-ea 2450HD with FPV.
Anyways, i just found out ...You can go to their web site.
Have your drone and TX ON wifi....cell or pc.
Access the flight control menu....Dial in the yaw again.lol...or whatever
Basically sort of like having access to regular type TX menu....but still have stunt buttons.lol.
I'll have to wait and see til i get mine..It'll be totally sick. I'll have different 2450 set up to different things...I'll ditch the camera on a couple of them so I can toss it around more
and get more flight time . :-P
Hey Chris im getting mine somewhere around the end of December.
Nice review very professional looking!
Thank you very much!
Hallo Chris , who you make the (Skyns (Rotation) with SkyViper ? who buttons you used ?
I try to record but mine on has taken pictures how do you record ?
Thank you you're video was really helpful
It have stunt button or not
I have a problem with my Sky viper v2450hd. I have this camera problem that has this showing some violet colour every time when it's expose to bright light or sunlight but my other functions works pretty well but my camera is not okay.
Sound like it doesn't have an IR filter. It must be defective...I would take it back.
I would send it back but they refuse.
That sucks!
It really is. And can you do some "How to replace/repair some motor in Sky Viper Drones.
Did you take off the camera cover film?
so anyone know any way to make the frame rate better, i noticed it appears more like a slideshow of bad pictures than a 480 video
Bought this brand new for $15 bucks at Goodwill. Can’t wait to try it out. Are your videos recorded to the phone or sd card?
Sd card,dont try it on phone,it will go around 10-15 fps
V2450 fpv props in way of camera even if pointed all the way down on the adjust lens
Good job man!! Thanks
I just got this yesterday and i tried to connect my phone to the drone( the sky viper 2450) and it says the wifi password is viper...BUT the password wont work due to the wifi requiring more letter in order to click the connect button...i have a lg g4 btw...can one help me out on this?
+Sam Macy I think you have to set the password when you first launch it. That's what I had to do. I just made my password 12345678.
I put mine as sky viper
Chris Walsh how?
Andysaki GH I can't figure it out either...
What is the time limit
Does it depend on the phone or the SD card(the camera quality)
Yes, an SD card will give you better quality.
We're can I get the SD card?What color is it? And where do you insert it?
As far as third setting, can’t you change flight permitters on sky viper website?
Yes, I thought that was only a feature of the GPS version, but have since learned that you can.
what is the flight time on the drone? i could not hear the video very well.
Around 7-8 minutes.
Watch my video on antenna extensions. And get this thing going like 2000 feet away
Hey quick question ? What's the distance of this drone ? I'm thinking about buying one lol
Asik Productions the altitude is 100 the range is about...50ft
Not too far for these toy grade ones. It kind of varies but I wouldn't go more than 50 yards or so...
I don't know about horizontally, but I do know with my drone vertically as in height. My VIPER went 162 feet before I lost a signal if that helps. But don't worry if your drone is the Sky Viper Journey GPS model it will come back to you if you get it out of the transmitter range.
What is password of the dron 2450
Hi: does it use the same batteries as the syma x5 range being 3.7lipo with I believe what they call a jrc connector, small 3pin plug?
It has a JST connector...red two plug port.
What is the time limit
Could it take video without showing the wings?
Yes, if you angle the camera down.
Is that choppy recording to the right what you see on your phone while your flying the drone. I'm looking for a drone that has smooth video quality during flight.
Geralt of Westeros yes it is very bad lag
And if you want a good drone get a DJI fantom 3
Yeah, it's the signal coming back from the drone to your phone.
Actually it's not laggy, I'd recommend a Samsung Galaxy s6 or up or else you will get lag I even tried it myself and it isn't laggy
What the password?
This thing is garbage. Just opened it after watching this video and was super let down. Battery hasn’t lasted more than 2 mins of flight time and can’t get it to go more than 20 ft away without losing input response.
Good review video
Hi. Thanks for this review. Very helpful. Can you fly one of these with an ipod? Buying it for a 12yo who doesn't have a phone.
It would depend on the generation of Ipod but i'd have to say no because ipods are old tech and the app needed to run the drone probably wouldnt be compatible with even the newest ipod.
You probably could. Check the Sky Viper website for the specs.
Hey can you do a video of the new 2450 GPS model?
I'm not sure if I'm gonna pick that one up or not. Possibly.
How come it runs out of battery in 2 min
It's either the cold weather killing your battery or it's defective.
Great vid!
Thank you!
How long to the battery’s last
7-8 minutes.
What's your opinion guys?
does this drone have headless mode?
+john nelson I don't believe it does.
I don't think so, but I never mess with headless mode.
what is its top speed
+Ethan Benson not too fast.
Looks kick ass but performs shity camera don't work
How long can you fly on a full battery and is the drone water resistant?
+Dre TheBxGIANT it can fly for about 7 1/2 to 8 minutes with the included battery. There is a battery available that can double that flight time allegedly though. It is not water resistant.
Chris Walsh how far can the drone go when you put the distance as in yards ?
how long do you gotta charge it for ?
Rickyfyied it takes about 20 mins for me, but I just bought mine. Btw Merry Christmas all!!!
Same, too bad I flew mine for 10 minutes and it went crazy and flew into my neighbors pool ....
streaming fpv v2
Have you try the pro v2900?
+Awesomecat3345 The Awesomest never tried it. Looked like it had a bunch of bugs from videos I saw.
Chris Walsh oh but i have the same drone you have see my video
Chris Walsh sad update the right b motor dose not work anymore its out of date
Sorry to hear that! Maybe you can get a new one? I believe they are plug and play....no soldering.
Chris Walsh do you mean they are caples that you plug?
Can you give me the password?
Yosef Lorew here is a good password skyviper or 12345
Como puedo programar la contraseña de mi drone ?
I dropped mimes onced and a damn smaller gears fell of

I don't have any experience with the SkyViper GPS drones, but it sounds like your drone is losing connection for some reason.
I fly this while my kids wear the fpv headset. They get a kick.
Whats the wifi password to pair it? I cant find it
Nice review, Chris. Great complementary, you sound like Pat O'Brien.
Thank you!
Just got one yesterday excited!!!!
Chris, What is the difference between video feeds? The left one is phenomenal. Right one sucks..much like what I get on my feed
The left is the recording to the SD card and the right is the live feed from the drone as you're flying. I'm trying to see if I can adjust some setting in the app to get a better picture.
Chris Walsh Did it run better
Hey how does this cope with the wind? I’ve had drones in the past which are just carried away by the wind...thanks
Not the greatest flier in the wind. You'd probably want to go with something with brushless motors for windy days.
Chris Walsh Hi Chris! Thank you for your response. Do you have any recommendations for these? I know in the RUclips videos there is probably little wind but in real life I’m always aware that the wind often carries the drones away. Thanks again...loving your channel👌

App won't. Connect
I got this drone i like it more that the other 2400
Nice, do you have any other Sky Viper drones?
Can you use the Fat Sharks with this one?
No, this one is WiFi fpv and it doesn't work very well.
why wont it sync to my phone
?Defective? Did you set the password? There was a firmware update also.
