The fastest 5" freestyle drone you can buy today || SEQURE HEISON 5X

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Before you argue with the title: I said the fastest FREESTYLE drone. This is a 5" freestyle drone that comes out of the box ready for 8S voltage. That's what the title is referring to. I think this is the first and only time this has been done.

[@KasimirvonFinck]

JB, I just tested my Sub 400 Quad at night. I would love to do smth. together and realease it. How can I reach out to you best?

Ooo new pfp!

[@duck-in-space-engineers]

To comment on the channels in the arms, they dont remove as much strength as you think. Reasoning is that arm is shaped like a C channel, which gets the vast majority of strength from the material on the edges. This is why tubes work, as well as steel I beams. The weakest part of the channels would be torsional stiffness, considering it looks something like CF nylon thats a non-issue. An interesting topic is sandwich theory (not for food!), and it explains some of the nuance in these construction

[@FlyDreamEcuador]

Yeah, kind of like I beams...

[@EniokiFPV]

Damn Bardwell...I dont think I have seen you rip this hard before! Some SUPER nice proxy moves in this video.

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

I still need yo build cause I want an 8S 10" 3115 700kV

[@smufinstuff]

That quad is only good if fly open fields, and never crash. I guarantee you I'd tear those little pretty LED side plates off within an hour of flying😂😂

[@JEFF-P-V]

Thats exactly how the Diatone side plates work. Friction fit around the center standoffs. They pop right on/off.

I haven't been this exited about new drones in years. 8S baby I can't wait!!

[@gavwilldo]

I think you might find the hollow arms are stronger than you think, they would definitely be a lot stronger than solid arms the same weight, that would have to be much thinner to weigh the same. The tabs on the ends and 3d printed bumper design aren’t any good and won’t protect the motors though

[@serenestateofbeing1062]

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying and review, Joshua! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@sushix5207]

The arms are like trussbeams. Means the 6mm outer hight will hopefully do the structural job.

[@JEFF-P-V]

The sheer joy and excitement that JB displayed, while expressing the 'feeling' of 5" on 8s, is one of my fav. things in quite some time.

[@techienate]

Your analysis of the arms is suspect: milling out a groove isn't the equivalent of a thinner arm. A U shaped arm will be much stronger than a flat arm. It should be adding a lot of rigidity and strength by being shaped that way.

[@mikerich32]

It is only much stronger when the amount of material is the same, but drilling away material adds another variable. A solid 7mm arm is stronger than the same arm that has had a channel drilled out of it.

[@MrBelegus]

Just in case someone is still wondering why an increase of FPV production in recent years, it's the Ukranian war, they use thousands of FPV drones each month. Both sides are racing them against eachother around the battlefield through gates, bandos (there's a lot of conviently placed and ample ruins) and trenches to find out the victor of the individual skirmishes and that determines the flow of the frontline.

[@arthurgiourdjian9071]

Neat BNF! Not a huge "fan" of the fan lol why not just put the VTX on a switch, that way you could power the drone without worrying that the 03 will heat up. It's just one more thing that can fail and adds extra weight.

[@XZLR8N]

I just started flying again. This is the first I've watched in over a year. This gives me new build ideas, but I really want thos frame to play with.

[@mark78063]

Its so heavy I think the trees ducked instead of trying to catch it. 😀

Good durability, but I know who I will NOT be picking as my beer pong partner with those throws :D

It's an ambitious project by a manufacturer who is trying not to fizzle out on launch. I agree though it's a bit too smart for it's own good.

[@johncarold]

Hi Josh, WOW ! 8s, I'm going to need a new charger for this one, but I'm not sure if it should be flown. It looks like a wall quad. There's just too much to break. Those arms look like they will break on an easy crash, but for me, it's the price that kills it. Thanks again for the video and info on this quad.

[@Mr.vortex01]

Love these reviews JB!

[@CallumBrophy-i7k]

Now this is nice!!!

[@abhinavamazon8716]

most of the quads comes with ATF405 or even F411 i have seen in geprc, I don't know how hard it is to throw a F405. it takes the confidence out of the game.

I wanted one until I seen the motor mount ugh. Very thoughtful ideas though

Guess you have flown the EMAX Babyhawk 2 (analog for less weight) This 3,5 inch RIPS like a lightning on 4s Tattu R- lines v5.0. --Incredible ripper on affordable 4s batteries. I mean... yeah 8s is cool as hell. But my wallet is screaming harder than any motor on these 8s batteries!

[@C4reful]

tape 2 of your 4s packs together solder a lil Y-adapter and you alrdy got a bunch of 8s

[@Ninjalexander]

@@C4reful Sure thing, true. But any adaper means some more resistance and weight. But at that powerlevel, I think you won't notice that much :)

[@plebefpv]

Is aluminum integrated into the arms?

[@milfordkd]

The thing is this 1600kv on 8s is like using 2133kv on 6s, of course it will have more power. It's like when everyone was saying 6s was more powerful than 4s but they were just using higher comparably kv motors and bigger batteries. Power comes from voltage, kv, motor size, props etc. You have to have a fair comparison. A fair comparison to 1800kv on 6s would 1350kv on 8s. There are advantages of higher voltage like less sag etc, but saying it's more power is just not accurate. There are also disadvantages like more expensive electronics, fewer chargers available, using smaller individual cells etc. Higher kv motors are often less efficient so going higher kv is not always a good option.

[@Belrmar]

That is the point of higher voltage my dude. You can run comparatively higher kv without the excessive heating

[@milfordkd]

@Belrmar yeah for sure, but it's the increased KV giving you more power, if you use the comparable KV then you'll have the same power, many people don't understand this

[@serenestateofbeing1062]

I get what you're saying. If you matched the kv's the power would be the same but the cooling and Amps would be down and efficiency up

[@milfordkd]

@@serenestateofbeing1062 exactly! The efficiency of the motors would be better yes, but the efficiency of the ESC may not be so it depends on the whole setup

[@JoshuaBardwell]

If you matched kv, you would get more power, but the motor would heat up, reducing efficiency and increasing battery sag. At some point, thus becomes a limiting factor, and that's when it makes sense to go to a higher voltage.

Hi JB...love the way you deliver your new product tests - only thing I wish that you would do is keep the OSD visable during the flight videos, so as all of your subs can see whats actually happening during the flight tests. IMO would also fantastic to show the rates your useing during the flights aswell - because as most of us know and understand that just a few % differences in rates can make every quad fly and perform extremely different ( from amazing to not so great)...love your work n thank you for all the time n effort you goto to keep your subs informed n upto date on this fast evolving hobby 👍

[@rainsquadfpv]

[@alexlaine8087]

Hey Joshua! Just wanted to come here and give a huge thanks to you, and ItsBlunty. I sent you an email about some ELRS binding help and within the next day you directed me to him, who within the hour had my problem fixed and I was in the air again. not only did he give me all the help and resources I needed, but he also taught me more than I could’ve imagined about the grey areas I had in FPV, and has now open the door for many more avenues in the hobby for me. Thank you!!

[@Pyrolassist]

Wouldn’t the GPS do better under the VTX antenna where the null zone is. I have my drone setup this way and had 16 satellites last time I flew. If you separate them you expose the GPS to the radiation pattern. Just my opinion

Probably a product you didnt need to review.

[@madladdan]

Takes the heaviest thing out of the drone and then tests durability by dropping it

[@doccock100]

yes, but if it shows durability issue without the battery then you just need to do the math. If the battery was taken out and then declared unbreakable, then you would have a point.
