Nazgul 5 V2 + EV800DM : 2km long range test

[@Bot-sw1sf]

Thank you for the great video. I read through the comments and discovered that my EV800DM goggles don't have diversity. Enabling diversity to my setup has significantly improved my range.

[@nufanfpv]

I'm glad to have been helpful!!

[@SickLevel]

Verny nice long range video!!! Keep going...

[@nufanfpv]

Thank you 👍

[@mazlansazani7735]

Great flight bro..keep it up.You got a new sub!

[@nufanfpv]

Thank you man!

[@Bedwars_Banana]

I have the v3 version and I have crancked the vtx power up to 800mw and I have the same goggles but I just don’t have range do you guys have any ideas ?

[@nufanfpv]

I'm late, sorry. I will copy and past a reply to a similar question: Hi, you have to check this things: 1) set band and channel manually on your goggles, don't use "autosearch" 2) Set diversity on your goggles 3) Check the vtx leds on quad: they must flash the right number of times according to the settings provided 4) check pigtail connector: could be compromised 5) swap custom quad antenna with a pagoda 10cm length and 6) no obstacles between drone and you.

[@arthurnascimento8372]

não sei como consegue.. o meu não passa de 600m, com antena do nazgul5 melhorada ainda :(

[@nufanfpv]

Hi Arthur, you have to check some things: 1- Goggles must be on the right channel(the same of vtx) 2- Vtx must be on the maximum power, you can check it on BetaFlight configurator or, BETTER, check the led on VTX. 3- Check the pigtail, could be broke.it happened to me also 4- Goggles must be on Diversity mode

[@see_2_far_beyond]

Not bad for 400mW, the Crossfire shines in this situation :)

[@nufanfpv]

Yeah, crossfire is rock solid.

[@svenkee1347]

Hi, have u try the longest range ? For the goggle

[@nufanfpv]

Longest range it also depends on vtx power, more power, more range. Probably it's better to do some comparison with my other google(ev300O) at same vtx power.

[@ilyasguner2267]

Did you modify the goggles? How do u get such range?

[@nufanfpv]

No mod, factory antenna. Do you have some range issue?

[@ilyasguner2267]

@nufanfpv I don't even have goggles yet, im trying to decide which one to get, and avoid possible issues.

[@nufanfpv]

@@ilyasguner2267 EV800DM is a good entry level goggles and the cheaper analog choice you can do it with good performance. After that you will have to swap in digital

i set my vtx 800mw and EV800DM with original antenna. I got so many noic at 200Meters, do you know how fix it ?

Which antena are you using

[@nufanfpv]

Stock goggles antennas and custom pagoda drone antenna

[@idonthaveagoodnameidea4510]

Hey could you please help me i have the same drone and the goggle the only difference is i have the v3 version but i cant seem to get more than 200-300m range and i am running the vtx on 800mw i whould really appreciate it if you could respond and give me some help.

[@nufanfpv]

HI, i paste here the same reply i wrote some months ago: "green OSD on your goggles can help you to understand which "mode" are you using. In the upper left corner you can read RF A, RF B, AV or DIVERSITY, you can change it pressing the upper right button (SRC/Menu button). You have to set DIVERSITY to use both goggles antenna" and then check the channel, you have to set the goggle on the same channel you set on quadcopter, don't use "auto research" function. V3 version has 1.6W vtx power, you have to go farther then 200m.

great job

[@TheMistral]

Wow! And stock antennas?? I have the same googles all stock and passing 200 m I have issues...

[@nufanfpv]

Yes, stock antennas. Have you set your goggles on "Diversity mode"? How many mWatt have you set on your vtx?

[@TheMistral]

@@nufanfpv Max mWatt that my vtx supports (350 mWatts)... Is a 3'5" Beta FPV TWIG XL. I have also a Meteor 75 at 25 mWatts. Wasn't my antennas set diversity by default. Sorry, only a cupple of months with drones.

[@nufanfpv]

@@TheMistral 350mWatt are good enough to do mid range. Green OSD on your goggles can help to understand what's "mode" are you set. In the upper left corner you can read RF A, RF B, AV or DIVERSITY, you can change it pressing the upper right button (SRC/Menu button).

[@TheMistral]

@@nufanfpv Thanks. It is on Diversity mode. Channel D 4 5800M. I think is right.

[@nufanfpv]

@@TheMistral Vtx is set on D4 channel too? If yes probably the vtx is not so powerful or you can try a better drone's antenna. In my opinion is not a goggles fault. I advise you to don't attempt a long/mid range test without a gps and a good rx

[@yannd3b]

How do you setup the vtx to mid range like this ?

[@nufanfpv]

Hi Yann, vtx is set on channel R5 @ 400mW. You can do it on betaflight, vtx section. Drone's antenna is a custom pagoda, 10-12cm lenght ( necessary to surmount the battery "size")

[@Waikhom007]

is distance value given by gps?

[@Bot-sw1sf]

@@Waikhom007 Yes it is

[@ooo_o856]

Which cammera and vtx are you using

[@nufanfpv]

Vtx Succex Force @ 400mW (stock Nazgul V2), cam: racecam R1(stock Nazgul V2). You can read all my other stuff in video description

[@UgoFPV]

Hey:) nice vidéo, what radio do u use?

[@nufanfpv]

Hi, TX16s eachine + tbs crossfire micro tx

[@Kraken9911]

Very Nice. Now this makes deciding what to buy even more difficult. The Nazgul5 V2 is a very good looking quad and has the performance of a Ferrari. You were cruising at 60kph with just 28% throttle! I'm also attracted to the long range features of the Iflight Chimera 5 or the HGLRC Rekon 5/6 but they don't have the raw top speed of the Nazgul or the punchout power but instead offer 10-20m flight times easily. Obviously the correct answer is to just buy many quads right?

[@nufanfpv]

Yeah, same doubt here 😆 imho, if it's your first drone, Nazgul is more versatile. Can offer you freestyle skills and can approache a mid range too. You have to add a gps(20€) and buzzer(Vifly finder2, 15€) to approache safely a mid range(2km). This version(6s) can reach 8/9min flight time with a 1500mah lipo battery(Smooth fly). Soon I will add a video about flight time tests.

[@MrKrackee]

Wow, nice video. I got the same setup. EV800DM with stock antennas and Nazgul5 V2. I flew with 800mW and the iFlight long Antenna. But I only reach about 500m until signal is too bad or completely lost. I tried different channels, the frequency on my goggles is correct. My patch anennta points exactly on the drone position. Do you got any idea how to fix this? Maybe another vtx antenna? Which one do you exactly use?

[@nufanfpv]

Hi MrKrackee, green OSD on your goggles can help you to understand which "mode" are you using. In the upper left corner you can read RF A, RF B, AV or DIVERSITY, you can change it pressing the upper right button (SRC/Menu button). You have to set DIVERSITY to use both goggles antenna. If your goggles are already set to Diversity i think you have to check vtx cable/connector, maybe they are damaged after a crash. I use a Pagoda on the drone, I purchased it here: prodrone.pl/index.php/en/ During my test no obstacles(trees, buildings, etc) was between the drone and me.

[@MrKrackee]

@@nufanfpv thx for your fast response. I am in diversity mode. I just found a wrong value in my vtx settings. It says value 800, label 800. But it has to be value 600, label 800 in order to activate highest power output. I will test it tomorrow. What are your settings here or why did you just use 400mW?

[@MrKrackee]

@@nufanfpv you can see the current power output indicated by the green led. Blink 1x means 25mW. 2x 100mW, 3x 400mW, 4x 800mW

[@nufanfpv]

​@@MrKrackee i have the same "mistake" on vtx settings, I think it doesn't matter, it's only a label. I was testing the minimum power to reach 2km far...with 400mW i can reach the goal and reduce the battery consumption

[@nufanfpv]

@@MrKrackee yeah but I prefer to see the power settings on OSD goggles, I advice you to do the same

[@UgoFPV]

Hey, nice video!! The vtx is the default one?You just added a gps to the Nazgul5v2?😁

[@nufanfpv]

Hi! Yes i just added a GPS, vtx(succeX-Force) is stock. I advice you to add a buzzer too (vifly finder 2).
