A few people have done that but the camera hanging out there is asking to be destroyed. @burdfamfpv probably created the best solution that reduces the prop size to 3inch but it looks really professional kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6Osq3p7oKuFa68si=wCngiuKWCwKRMGhq I’ve converted my crux35 into a discus for the extra durability but I’m looking at doing remixing that mount for the O3

to be fair that analogue set up was janky... I've seen and flown with better analog image quality. But I'm already a little skeptical of the quad outside of the just the VTX but after I see what I can do with the analog signal I'll whack an O3 in there and see how it really performs

I'm going to try this out again but with a different analog set up (my HDZ goggles) as in the dji goggles with the adapter it was pretty unflyable but there's no way it should be that bad out of the box so I'm willing to see how it goes.

I actually changed it over to my rates (which are still slower than my brother uses 750 vs 900). But you know what you’re right I didn’t check throttle expo! I’ll adjust and see how it feels, I mean it’s a higher kv motor but a little heavier so it should be fairly equal

Consider me pestered… and call me out on it again in the future! 🤣 Tbf I was supposed to do the Nazgûl video by myself and then I figured he could have a go whilst we were there 🤣

Back then I was flying a 15degree angle mainly because I typically fly really small tight areas so I have to use ejects when I get out in the open. I’m more at a 25 degree angle nowadays though

i guess its not that bad with latency if you go from high to low i notice it alot too when going from hdzero to ws

I’m way more confident with my little quads on analog/HDZ than DJI normally. I’m pretty certain it’s just a visibility issue as through the goggles the video looked much worse than the recording. But I’ll test this properly to see if I can get it as good as it can be. You’ll love the discus though it feels just like the crux35 but much harder to break!

I was hoping to have him use analog first to see if he noticed the latency when going back to DJI (although in hindsight I think it would have been more noticeable if I used the HDZ goggles on analog) but I agree everytime I switch between HDZ and DJI I have to reset how I fly

@@GarethDix ye the goggles v2 are pretty bad for analog ^^ did you record the footage on those? cause the dvr looks pretty good actually oh ye the discus is really good upgrade for the crux 35 its the quad i have the most flight time on by now ^^

I noticed so bad when flying under trees close to the ground and close to the low branches. The instant i was to high or low even though is milliseconds it was already touching one or the other. With the HDZero I was able to correct on the fly. I use the analog with the HDZero goggles and you are correct it's great. Not all cameras though. There's still some bad ones out there. Crazy how it's noticed going from low to high but not the other way around.

Omg haha… I’m heading to your channel now… I thought you hated 5inch quads? 🤣

@@GarethDix not anymore... lol I want to review more so going to design one to put all the electronics on from review units. Still 3.5 is king! lol in your vid the blurry lens to the O3 OMG I can see! it's nice to see....

@@TorontoFPV Funny seeing you here, I've spent the last 2 hours trying to beat your time on Velocidrone in the weekly challenge, in the micro class. Im 2 seconds slower. Im not able to fly full throttle for some reason, when I fly full throttle my quad just gains altitude rather than speed. Ill keep trying, hopefully I figure it out.

@@joshawawow you need more angle go into my beginners playlist and maybe try my tune it's in there with my rates along with a 30-45 degree angle probably also I fine the crazybee flies better for me than the new air guys do...

Hell yeah!

I think even with the lite DJI tinywhoops will be fairly heavy but it’s at least a. Step in the right direction!

The major trade off for me with tinywhoops is the flight time but then I have a load of packs and you can charge 6 of these at the same time with a usb charger (whoopstor) so I can be out for a whole day flying one of these no problem

I actually just used the crux35 default tune I didn’t have to change anything. It could be tweaked a little but it works well for how I fly.

🤣🤣 I got stuck in a tree on another ride along

Just hoping remote ID doesn’t make its way here too

A I agree and I fly analog too… but when I’m on trips away it would be nice to not have to bring two sets of goggles like I have this week. I like to fly both as they have different purposes

@@GarethDix Totally agree. No one drone does it all. That's a feature, not a bug. :)

I loved the meteor75 pro… even the 65pro was the thing that changed my mind about whoops. My 75pro was lost to the tree gods a few months ago after a failed power loop attempt 😂

I was set on getting another fat bike cruiser until I saw the prototype and it’s basically the ebike I was looking for years ago that didn’t exist!

I’ll probably do more builds in the future as it seems to have helped so many people… I’m glad you found it useful!

🤣🤣🤣

Awesome let me know how you get on! Make sure you get as much sim time in while you’re waiting for it, it really helps when you move to the real thing (even if it’s not exactly the same)

I do the same (well not a bando session as we don’t have any bandos here). Even when I travel and I’m taking my larger quads I’ll have a couple of air65’s with me too because they’re so much fun!

So you can add larger batteries to make it last longer but that does make it less agile which might be a good thing as it’ll feel way more planted. There’s always a limit to when the weight of the battery starts to reduce the flight time instead of increase it. So two things to consider. As you start learning FPV the concentration takes it out of you so unless you intend on flying long range around 4-5mins is pretty good. So you should be able to use an 850Mah 3s battery on it… however you’ll have to cut the little tabs off the frame as the battery will be too large to fit the normal slot. I haven’t tried this as getting 3s batteries where I live isn’t so easy. For long flight times though the happymodel crux35 goes for almost 10mins on an 850 4s battery. However it doesn’t have prop guards (so you’ll go through propellers when you crash) it isn’t the most durable and doesn’t have room to fit an O3 air unit

@@GarethDix Thank you so much all check them out!

I didn't run with any protection on the camera as it doesn't stick out past the frame (except for the lower part when I'm running a 25degree angle). That said I guess I've been lucky so far as my camera is still in one piece and I fly this fairly regularly (although I don't freestyle it so much). I recently printed an o3 camera protector for my brother for a different mini whoop but it should work for this too www.printables.com/model/555104-dji-o3-camera-frame-maximal-lens-protection-minima

1min 10secs? were you going full throttle? haha... maybe something to do with the tune? as even in the cold I was getting more flight time. I am running at 1.6inch freestyle quad 32,000 0702's with those 2 bladed. props around the same weight but with the HDZ 5in1 and I love it. I wasn't sure if an 0702 was going to spin up that size of prop effectively but it works really well. Which canopy are you using with the mob7 frame?

Basically that’s what it comes down to

Did it have the updated canopy? Weirdly the updated frame and canopy breaks way more often than the original ones I have

That’s how I have it now, the addition of spacers also require a slightly longer screw but it works perfectly. Also built a 1.6inch quad using the AIO since this video and it rips!

@@GarethDix actually gathering parts to build a HDzero whoop vtx and Flywoo f405 aio ELRS onto a HM Bassline frame, 2s. Next up is a 65mm build for the winter, guess what I'm gonna use 😇

@FATSNAIL-FPV I’m actually planning a 2inch 2s build at the moment using the HDZ whoop lite I have spare can’t wait to see how that flies. 65mm is either going to be an air65 or a new mob6?

Luckily the camera wasn’t on me as I’m still moving my head with the goggles on like I’m in the quad 🤣 And she’s adorable

I wanted to make sure she got the full experience before going back to the DJI drones 🤣

It’s so much fun!

You should it’s so much fun! There are FPV pilots everywhere in the world!

to be fair I wasn't flying as smooth as normal... I didn't tell her this though haha.

I completely forgot my manners! haha... in my defence the near by seats were very wet

It doesn't come with that functionality although you could add a GPS to it and get the return function... I don't think the "HELP!" button can be set up to stop it in it's tracks to hover though... but this will probably take more of a beating than the avata and it's certainly easier and cheaper to fix if it does go wrong haha. As a wise FPV pilot once said "If you aren't crashing, you aren't learning" - I've learned A LOT haha

I'll get her back for a more cruisey type flight... but maybe I'll do that on a mountain rather than the city. Anything you want me to cover on the GEPRC Mk5 specifically? I may have a chance to take my bigger quads on some travel with me coming up.

@@GarethDix I think this is a great opportunity to test the Mark 5 for long and medium-range flights. I know that this drone is great for freestyle, but let's see how it performs on longer flights. Everyone says it's very versatile, so this will be a chance to test it in a different environment. P.S. The punch in its execution looks amazing.

Whilst long-range is illegal here I'll see if I can do something in the future if there's a place that is more open to it as I'd like to try long-range at some point. But I can still do something a bit more cinematic with it maybe in the mountains with the snow here

@@GarethDix In that case, I’m eagerly awaiting the next video with the Mark 5 in your version

I see what you did there...

Makes me want to take more people for ride alongs after her reaction! That's the first time I've flown down there at sunset and it was pretty amazing I'm normally there early morning

@@GarethDix goggles - I think it's very different if you fly yourself she probably only gets sick when using goggles, soectating and not being able to anticipate the movement 😉

I wonder if latency on a DJI screen is going to be really bad (she has a Neo)

@@GarethDix i bet you notice the difference but if it's just cinematic flying...?

@McLogo76 maybe she won’t freestyle any time soon 🤣

@GarethDix you never know 🤣😂

I’m over that side during the ski season… but normally with skis instead of drones

This quad is capable of 6s but I was using a 4s 650 pack for this flight
