Discover the Power of GEPRC MARK 5 DC with DJI O3 Air

[@NONX01]

I have JUST ordered one. I can’t wait so F hard 😁 Tired of DJI FPV . I still believe that it’s the nr 1 drone for someone who have never flown a drone ( still gonna use the same goggles and dji controller 2 from DJI FPV Combo ) but now after 6 months flying almost every day followed by 200h in Liftoff I finally feel like it limits me and I have skills and knowledge to fly a real fpv drone without any training wheels or addons 🔥 It’s mainly the hang-time for me that’s I already know gonna be a game changer. Doing inverted yaw spins and anything similar on DJI FPV is such a nightmare 🙄

[@h-dawg969]

How’s it going with your Mark 5? It says you wrote this comment 3 months ago so expect you’ve got some decent flight time on with it now? I’m thinking of ordering one next week. I was thinking of getting the Afterburner but I’m not keen on the bottom battery so think Mark 5 is the way.

[@NONX01]

@@h-dawg969 absolutely sick. I wanna say best drone I ve ever flown but that means nothing since I have no comparison🤣 I lost signal, crashed 3 times - not a prop broke. Heaviest crash I had I needed to put it apart, clean with sprayed air and tooth brush, soak and wash one of the motors since it crashed into a mud one motor was stiff - the drone didn’t even want to start the motors at one point but with a remote help from multiply pilots on Instagram + YT guides I went thru everything and ve learnt loads as doing so too. Flies like a charm, the hang time is insane. Comparing to DJI Potato it feels like I’m almost not falling down when upside down. I can do double inverted yaw spins like its nothing while on DJI Potato doing one was a problem😂 Also I see other pilots with different fpv drones that need for example use websites or softwares to stabilise the footage when mine is rock steady just default. The built-in camera is great for what it is, but now I’m getting GoPro11 with ND filters on it for that ultra crisp and smooth look and I’m gonna mount it vertically since I mostly upload 9:16. 11/10. by the way: I think batteries mean a lot and can do a lot of difference - again I have no comparison but it looks like my batteries are absolute top because I’m seeing a lot of people posting them saying “best packs I ever flown” meaning really top pilots like Lumpy FPV. 6min flights with full rip are not a problem. Batteries: TATTU R Line 1400mah 6s 5.0.

[@ryankerniskey836]

When I first bought the Avata I tried using the controller like a console controller and I couldn't control the throttle to save my life. So I started pinching and now I can't imagine not pinching. It is weird when I go to play PS5 and I attempt to pinch that. LOL. Anyway I just ordered the Mark 5 DC so I'm looking forward to that coming. Great video. You describe FPV flying the same way I feel. Pretty awesome.

[@kaskalo2]

I started with thumbs, and it was completely natural to me. But i realized most of the best pilots are pinching. I tried to pinch, it was weird at start, bit i got used to it. And now it's natural. And it is so much better and precise, that there is no way i would ever go back. I tried couple of times, but i was so weirdly unprecise. And it is not the matter of personal preference. Pinching simply makes you drive with more precision. Thumbs only are slightly more comfortable, especially if you come from console controller. But if you wanna drive better, there is no dispute, pinchimg is beter.

[@richardlee2740]

Awesome job Matt👍I agree, the Mark 5 in general is an awesome platform! I do however feel the same regarding your thoughts concerning adding a secondary camera which hinders the agility of the quads. Looks like your nade a very viable choice. Keep up the good work.

[@jay0woo]

Great review; Clear to the point and layed back. This drone is on my top pick, though I want to go with CADDEX, so I will have to build by the looks. No stress, I have an electronics background.

[@CarlosRodriguez-vg2ob]

Fantastic review. I do have a question, what is the longest range you can. Do on the mark 5 or what is the biggest batt that can use?

[@maurizioghidini3833]

Amazing content. I'm looking for a setup that can make my Geprc mark 5 DC HD O3 6S handle a kind of middle-long range flight time (20-25 minutes hovering smoothly), avoiding voltage sag. Could you please recommend me a couple of Li-Ion battery that can be suitable for this purpose, and for the drone size/lenght? Thank you very much!

[@ukmonk]

Nice video thank you! Yeah think I have the drone bug! Own the DJI mini 4 pro and Avata 2, both amazing drones for different situation. I am also from a gaming background and didn't take me long to get used to flying with the RC3 on my Avata 2 BUT I did a LOT of hours in the sims before I went full manual/acro. If I am flying normal/sport I will use thumbs, but when I change to manual I go pinch method, also helps me to remember I am in a different mode and my right stick (Mode 3) is for throttle now. Really thinking about getting the GEPRC MK5, looks amazing but do you think they will bring out updated version when O4 air unit drops? So I might wait for that!

[@syb_sc8341]

I have a question, seeing as the new DJI avata 2 comes with the new Goggles 3 and works with the new dji remote version 3, these all don’t work with the DJI O3 air unit and therefore are unusable with the mark 5. What do you reccomend buying? Do I still go for the Avata 2 or should I go for the previous model?

[@Markus-FPV]

Hey Matthew, are you using the 6S 1500mAh bat also on the Cinelog35?

[@aarondodson1261]

Definitely video game thumbs

[@alexanderb11]

great review, I started a few months ago with an Avata & dji controller 2. And this is the drone I have been looking at, and this review solidified the purchase. Quick question, is that the 4s or 6s?

[@markbosold4050]

I just ordered the deadcat version as well. I’ve not flown FPV before. My plan is to use goggles 2 with mini 4 pro to get the hang of things before I take the mark 5 out of the box. I do well with mini 4 pro but I’ve always craved more speed and agility, It sounds like I made the right choice. Just love your high speed video passes over the fields. Thanks for the tip on the GPS. I took out a ticket on the geprc website to have them install the GPS and compass as well. Also ordered more props too! Please let me know what you think of my plan of flying the mini 4 pro with goggles for a while before trying mark 5 or should I buy something to fly first. Thanks!

[@jrhager84]

Did you get the motion controller? If not - You can't use the goggles. I wish I knew that prior to buying the mini, but I use the goggles for my bigger drone anyway.

[@narbeha341]

Where is the Pinch Squad at?

[@pluszak85_md]

Did you fly with 1550 battery together with GoPro? Drone managed this weight, was not much heavier for it?

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

No go pro.

[@BooFPV]

The Top Five 5-inch drones: 1) iFlight F5 2) GeprC Mark 5 3)AxisFlying Manta 5 4)SpeedyBee Master 5 5)HGLRC Sector 5 Any Particular order, they all are so similar and near identical in performance, durability, and overall sexiness. I have the Manta 5 03 DC with 2406 motors, it's amazing! Was going to get an F5 but I'm so satisfied with my manta 5 that i opted for the F4. All five companies knocked it out of the park! Best BNF quads on the market.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

I really want to try a iFight drone. Thanks for your comment:)

[@h-dawg969]

Do you use a ground stake for the dog whilst flying fpv? All the best chances and locations for fpv that I find myself at is usually when I’m on a walkies with my good boy but I don’t like leaving him to roam free when I can’t keep an eye on him as I’m wearing goggles. I think ground stake is probably the best solution as there’s not always a bench or tree etc to attach his lead to.

[@ytfytf1265]

Awesome review

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Thanks!

[@Leonard777x]

Great video! How did you get it delivered with GPS pre-installed? I'm looking on the GEPRC website, and I don't see any option for GPS on the GEPRC Mark5 DC HD O3. I've been looking for a while how to get it with GPS pre-installed, because I've seen a couple videos with this feature.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

If you message their support after purchasing the GPS separately and the device, they will preinstall it for you.

[@EugeneKey]

Great video. You said it can fly 10-15 minutes in slow cinematic mode with Tatto 6S 1550mAh battery which weighs 256g. Is it really true? I understand that the freestyle drone is not designed for long flights, but I wonder what will happen if I put a Lion battery 18650 6S1P 3000mAh 66.6W, it weighs about 300g? then can it withstand a slow cinematic flight over a long distance? According to my calculations, this should give 22-27 minutes of flight. Also, for this, able to configure a separate mode with a limitation of the maximum engine power. Do you think it's possible? And then I'm tired of waiting for the new GepRC Crocodile5 or iFlight Chimera5

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Yes it’s true. As long as your not pushing real hard 10 minutes easy & 14-15 max.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

I can also blow though a battery in 4 minutes lol 😂

[@jrhager84]

I have a big 10" drone that flies 8000mah 6s lions. I would *love* to get this and just see how it does with that huge battery on it haha

Nice looking drone and review. Wondering if this could be my first FPV drone 😮😊

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Great Video! What are your specs in Betaflight?

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Default specs.

[@PianoManPaul]

Nice video! Is there even a deadcat version of IF's Nazgul Evoque yet?? I've looked but I haven't seen. Props in the video are a deal-breaker, and so is unnecessary weight of a gopro mini or bones added to a freestyle drone. I'll accept neither of those, and just do it right the first time with a complete 03 system onboard, thank you. Trinity, I believe we have found THE ONE....

[@BooFPV]

of course there are deadcat versions.. the iflight rabbitfilms evoque F5 only comes in deadcat.. but there is the normal F5d as well.

[@PianoManPaul]

@BooFPV thanks ... yeah I'm a total noob, but quickly got into building so I'm attempting my own repair on my nazgul evoque F6D (6") ... should've went for the 4 or 5" lol ... growing pains! 🫨😵‍💫😁

[@oculararcade]

Is that a 1550?

[@ImperialArmour]

You should really change out the buzzer on this for a loud one with it's own 1s battery. And change it to props out while you're it.

[@Matthew_Sherwood]

Any recommendations?

[@paul43]

I really want one (GepRc Mark 5 Dji O 3 with TBs Nano Rx and 6s battery) but I don't know where to add the GPS to the drone because I don't really want to build it in by myself.

If you message them they will add it for you on the geprc website.

I would love to see 10-15 minutes on a lipo. You should post a video showing that while recording the OSD. Because 10-15 minutes just cruising on a 1550 lipo at 130c is unfathomable lol. Not saying it's impossible but seems unlikely.

I will do a video on it :). That will be my next video.
