@@mlentsch I have also thought about this, but the active end of the bard pole antenna is at 1/2 or 2/3 of the whole antenna length and the connection is very good and stable. Thanks for your recommendation of the GepRC Pulsar. I will have a look at it 👌🏼

@@flipsfpv p.s. I've been interested in that Y-6. How are you liking it? I'd think that it's not great for LR, more of a speed demon, but I've never tried one...

@ HGLRC says it is for LR - I was skeptical too. I like the drone a lot and you can fly LR with it. The battery space is limited, but I think with a Li-ion battery you can go as far as with a 6" or 7" drone. The flight behavior is different from a quadcopter: very stable, especially when diving down a mountain. But definitively nothing you do rolls and stuff with 😅

Thank you so much for your kind words and the sub!

@ absolutely bro! I do a lot of this kind of flying too! Mountain surfing is the best

@@MrFmg010 I use 422C silicone conformal coating from MG Chemicals 👌🏼

@@alexmaghlakelidze thank you so much for your feedback! I‘m using LiPo batteries only at the moment. They work very well for me, but I am planning to try LiIon on another build soon. FYI: I tried to put the O4 AirUnit into the Y6 like you mentioned in one of your last comments: the camera does not fit into the front. Perhaps with a custom 3d print… for now I keep the O3

@@flipsfpv thanks good to know

@@ugpfpv361 yes you are right, the coaxial design is less efficient than a regular hexacopter or quadcopter. I am not sure, if it will fly with one motor disabled. Once I had a frozen motor on one side and it didn’t behave well 😅 Perhaps I can make a controlled test 🤔

@flipsfpv yeah, that'd be a nice test, it's just in case something does happen in flight and be able to limp it home instead of falling out of the sky and losing it.

@@MrFmg010 you are welcome! I would love to hear, if the modification works good for you, too!

Thank you! I have the Tango 2 (non pro) and can go further than 3kms. First "problem" can be the power output. In CE you are only allowed to use 25 or 100mW. The Tango 2 can output up to 1W = 1000mW. Normally 250mW is enough. I had some problems with my Nazgul and it's range at the beginning, but I changed the position of the Immortal-T antenna to not make contact with the frame. This gave me a lot more range. There a several possibilities that can affect your range... These are just a few examples. Today there is coming up a video here on my channel with a small part about antenna orientation. Perhaps this can help you, too. Cheers!

Hi, thank you! It is the "stock" Y6 build: FC: SPECTER F722 40A 4S-6S 6-way AIO VTX: DJI O3 Air Unit HD Motor: SPECTER 2004 1800KV(6S) GPS: HGLRC M100 MINI GPS Propeller: Gemfan5125 3-blade propeller Receiver: TBS Nano RX

@@flipsfpv Thank you so much! I'm going to order the same. Your video has given me enough reason to try this weird shape of a frames.

Haha, yes it locks really weird! But it is fun flying 🙃😉

Perhaps one day 🙃 Thank you!

Thank you! That's a good idea to convert to the O4 here. With little weight, e.g. without GoPro, the flight times are very long. I haven't yet flown with the Rekon Y6 in stronger winds. However, it feels more stable than my other drones when diving down the mountains. In headwinds, however, I have the impression that I have to give a lot more throttle. I think the drone is just as wind stable as other 7” drones.

@flipsfpv thank you for your answer. That is exactly my dilemma. 5 inch 6Y Vs 7 inch. 7 inch seems too big to transport or walk with it.

@ yes I understand your dilemma… The transport of the Y6 can be tricky, too. But if have a suitable backpack the smaller size is an advantage. I like the flight behaviour of the Y6. A lot of power for it‘s size and good controllability 👍🏻

@@flipsfpv thank you I have subscribed your channel. Will wait for wonderful videos like this. Even that fact that you where unable to find the spot for a while was interesting and suspenseful. I have been in same situation . Have a nice day

@ thank you very much! The same for you! Hopefully I can see some long range content on your channel soon 😉

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind and appreciative words!

@@mog59 thank you so much ☺️ Yes the angle of the GoPro was too low 🙈 Thank you for your feedback 👌🏼

Hi, thanks for your reply! Yes, I could do another test with the cameras swapped. The Rekon is smaller in size, but the performance and efficiency is more like a 7" or 8" drone. So I put the heavier camera on the Rekon for this test. I think the best test would be to fly both drones with the same camera! 😉

Hi, thank you so much ☺️

😬

Thanks again! That the energy consumption is similar with the same TOM is just a guess after these tests. But it seems logical to me. Crossfire diversity is waiting to be installed in my next build - stay tuned! For this drone I'm currently working on an improvement with a "bard pole" antenna 🙃

@@flipsfpv very good projects 🤩🤙🤙

Thank you my friend! More coming soon 😉

@ I stay tuned - for sure my friend 😎✊

@@BangAsTech thanks for this hint! Sounds like a good solution for me 👍🏻

Thank you for your feedback and the sub 👌

@ of course, 5” is out of action until I get the 04 unit in there, this mount is perfect

@@kylerichardsonmedia1979 hopefully I can see the result on your channel 😉

That's a nice transformation, too! 💪🙂

@@flipsfpv It really opened my eyes to planning potential upgrade paths as I move into bigger drones, great work spreading the idea!

Thank you! Yes you are right, it is possible to change the angle of the board in the settings. I mounted it with a 45 degree adapter to use the wiring "as is" and just had to rewire the rear motors because of the cable length.

@@flipsfpv ah I see

Thanks! Happy flying for you, too ✌🏼

@@flipsfpv thanks mate ✊. I still have an analog ProTec 35 from the time I was learning flying FPV. Wanted always convert it to digital but never found the time. Maybe you inspired me, bro 🤜🤛

@@flipsfpv tough times … three years ago 😂😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5Wneadsbq5nopIsi=gW3L5HjMVA4o9uiH

@@mog59 Sounds like a great opportunity! Maybe with an upgrade to the new O4 AirUnit? 😉

@@flipsfpv yeah, but then I would need new googles, right ? My gear is analog plus digital with the goggles V2. I‘m not sure if I need a third system 🤔

Hi, what do you mean with "compare between"? My opinion between the two drones or a comparison flight?

@@flipsfpv I mean, how much is the flight time of Bob7 different from Nazgul Evoque F5D and how are their flight characteristics different? Which one would you recommend, a 6" or 5" drone?

@iamagob sure, no problem. The Nazgul F5D is my all-in-one drone with good flight times and great flight characteristics. It is very agile and easy to fly. If you want to fly long range, I would recommend the BOB57 or the Nazgul F6D. They can carry bigger batteries and have longer flight times. The BOB57 is a great drone, but not as agile as the Nazgul. If I had to choose today, I would go with the Nazgul F6D.

@@francescogelio4451 Hi I used droniq app to check the rules there.

@@ivogarcia thanks! I can fly max 11 minutes with this battery when climbing mountains ⛰️

Thank you! I am using BF 4.4.1 on the BOB57

@ thank you very much. Do you use stock tuning? I have BF 4.3 with Ellis Van Jason’s tuning on my BOB57 and I really like how it flies however I’m not confident to fly long range because I know GPS Rescue on 4.3 is not very reliable. So I’m planning to update to 4.5 but I don’t want to mess up the configuration and tuning of the drone.

@@VideoAve yes the GPS rescue changed with Version 4.4 and got even better with 4.5 - nevertheless you can go long range with BF 4.3 and the GPS rescue. It always worked great for me, because I can take back control as soon as the connection is reestablished. I am using the stock preset from iFlight with adjustments to the "damping" down to 1.15 and the "dynamic damping" up to 0.25. You can back up your settings and roll back everything if it is not working for you.

@@flipsfpv thank you very much for the information!

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your flight there 😉

@@flipsfpv Absolutely 🤙🏻

I think as a certified drone pilot operating under Part 107 you are able to do this in the USA?

@@flipsfpv illegal was the wrong word, you need special permits for BVLOS.

Still stock bf preset with adjustments to the "damping" down to 1.15 and the "dynamic damping" up to 0.25

@flipsfpv love it might give that try

Thank you for your feedback!

😏

Thank you so much 🙏✌🏼

@@flipsfpvHi, two more questions please : did you use ND16 or ND32 on the GoPro and is the music which you used free or do you pay for it ?

@mog59 I used a CPL filter on the first flight in the video and a ND16 on the second flight. The music here is from uppbeat(dot)io and is free. You get 3 free songs when you create an account and another free song every month. I think they have a good library and if I need more, I think the paid subscription is fair.

Vielen Dank! Waren glaube ich um die 2,5km...

Thank you! I started with the default preset from iFlight and had some issues diving down the mountains, because the drone didn't sink properly. I set the Damping down to 1.15 and the Dynamic Damping up to 0.25 - this works good for me with the 3300mAh battery and even better with a smaller 2200mAh battery.

@flipsfpv interesting I'm currently dealing with jello using action 5 pro on bob57 changed props gone back to stock preset from van elis one , so looking at others etc and Im on exact same battery too interesting about damping though

@mcmediaandfilm very interesting! Do you have the jello only in the footage or also in the O3 live feed? With my BOB57 the footage from the O3 cam or a GoPro 12 is not usable because of the jello. Gyroflow is not able to correct this. I have no problems with footage from GoPro 10, 11 or the GoPro Bones... My damping adjustments improved the flight behavior for me, but had no effect on the footage.

@flipsfpv hi mate, no jello n 03 footage only from action 5 pro I do have a tpu mount coming from china to remove the magnet mount as there is a slight play in that mount but wonder if the turn and adjustments would help that you have done .

@flipsfpv okay let me know, if the adjustments fix the jello. Just watched some of your videos about the BOB footage and read the comments. I think I will try other props and a lower motor frequency, too.

Zum Glück ohne Upsi 😏

@imdiegomoreno1584 it is hard to tell, why it is not working on your side... The Nazgul Eco should come configured correctly. In betaflight under the receiver tab: which receiver mode is selected? In the Ports tab: is GPS selected as Sensor Input for one UART?

@@flipsfpv Receiver mode says Serial (via UART) then in Serial Receiver provider it says CRSF

In case someone has the same issue. I solved it with the new firmware

@@imdiegomoreno1584 new firmware on the Tango2 or on the receiver?
