The Mark5 HD can actually be purchased for $30 less than I mentioned if purchased with a Caddx Vista (instead of an air unit). Highly recommend.

[@Drawmaster33]

Nice review about the quad. Looking forward to your next upload:)

[@scottjackson1812]

Awesome review is the air unit the best one to go for if going digital thanks

[@williamleonard1105]

Wow! Thank you so much for doing these videos. You are the person who got me into FPV!

[@RunPlayBack]

Been out of FPV for 6 years, now coming back after seeing how much the tech has evolved since then. All because of your awesome content. Keep up the great work Matt! 🙏

[@vkotis]

Same...it's been seven years for me. Digital fpv is amazing. I hated the analog fpv. But now all these rules and regulations are in place too.

[@hunteralascio8963]

I just bought my first flywoo today because I watch so many fpv videos and you are 80 percent of what I watch

[@peacemama4957]

great job matt you always make the best edits👌

[@RedCornStudios]

Great....just when I thought I had decided on my next rig. Thanks for the review and freezing to benefit us

[@katrinacuerpo2402]

Thanks for the insightful review! Love the video editing on this :)

[@Widflyinghigh]

Wish this shipped with BF 4.3. The drone in the video is on 4.2 shipped. 9 drones converted to 4.3. 1 didn't make it, locked up ESC. Makes me nervous to convert over a new drone now, but love that dynamic idle.

[@painy6588]

thank you so much for the evoque comparison. I have a cinelog 35 and love it. Want to get a 5" aswell and was really excited when they announced the mark 5. But since the evoque has raving reviews I was torn between these two. Going to get the mark 5 now!

[@verified.2606]

Great intro! I loved those super clean transitions. As always, love your content.

[@DavidSanchez-dm7ox]

The labels are very important for beginners but they might made that drone for professional or experience pilots so that wouldn’t be a problem for u or others pro, but yeah if they include some instructions and labels it might get more attention for the beginners like me looks good tho

[@KhoPhi]

Two Geprc f722 aio FC from Geprc all came with a faulty gyro - the roll axis, and only the roll axis, is oscillating all over the place. Looks like a great quad, but that experience has left a bad taste in my mouth.

[@clifffield1]

Love the start of this one Matt. Thanks again for your enjoyable content.

[@ChrisQuadFPV]

Free drone hell ya.😲

[@georginaonagan4689]

The video is so easy to follow! thanks for the review, matt!

[@ralphmoehrke3103]

I was loving the music. Thanks for a great vid. Sadly no support in South Africa.

[@definingslawek4731]

cute that you made a home screen on your phone just for the video, as in with no other apps visible. Nice touch :)

[@tashparayno3838]

Great video! Love the editing. Looking forward to watching more of your videos 👍

[@jukebox6470]

Clean intro Matt!

[@monajafi5020]

This is what I was looking for, thank you again.

[@RGMGFitness]

Great review Matt! Agree that iFlight does such a *FANTASTIC JOB* with instructions / labeling that it just leaves others in the dust. Time for everyone else to follow suite (or fall behind).

[@krisgleave]

How come you’ve stopped posting on KZbin? Really enjoyed your videos and would love to see more vids again. Have you tried the O3 version of this?

[@Joe-bs9dj]

Thanks Matt.

[@mew92595]

love the text on the vid preview! wow!

[@nq0amark138]

And Hey Matt, thumbs up for your truckers !! Showing how it's done ! Cheers... ;-) Oh, and I subscribed...

[@RealEstateTorontoPhotography]

Great Review Thank you Matt.

[@brockbedfordFPV]

Ohhh I think I might have found my next drone! This has me rethinking the flywoo

[@ollenilssonen]

I want it!! Great video!

[@DrFrantic77]

Nice review, thanks for sharing

[@greekfpvgeek]

I had the Diatone Roma f5 that also had aluminum protectors in front. Although they worked fine on mild crushes, on the first serious crash, the one bend and the other snapped! 😒 But these seems to be more robust so only time will tell... 😉

[@Editer38738]

In my opinion the mark 5 feels good I'm a iflight fan tho

[@thfpv4974]

Awesome review

[@jeffcopus]

Conformal coating is your friend.

[@jukebox6470]

Does this drone still apply in 2023? Any better options? Do they make mounts to have the gopro vertical ?

[@electricburning]

W O W I've been watching your videos lately and the flying places, furnitures in your house, and every small things looked familliar. And found out that it was jeju island you were at. There are alot of drone pilots in korea but this encounter was quite surpprising to me. Keep up with the great videos! +(where do you buy drone, fpv equipments and parts etc in korea? aliexpress? banggood? )

[@weirdcan]

Great review, informative and entertaining at the same time. You definitely got a new subscriber. 😉 Besides that, does it come with the onboard-DVR option? The Nazgul unfortunately doesn’t.

[@jsgiroux]

what would be your pick between the mark5 and the Nazgul 5 V2?

[@user-rx8qq8sk9ydv1ce5ib]

Hi. Pls how to choose the drone that would work with dji goggle and remote. And how to connect the dji remote with any new drone or cinewhoop?

[@CarlosMonteirotube]

Whats props would you chone to give this drone it max speed?

[@aylenstudios]

how far can you tilt the gopro down before props in view?

[@fpvmaniac1345]

Another great review Matt thanks for that! What TPU mount do you use for the Hero 10 that works with the ND filters? (You show this one briefly in the video).

[@DailyMynt]

You can get a custom drone for those prices it’s a bit crazy how expensive they are.

[@MrAlucardDante]

Due to Covid and the chip shortage, everything is more expensive nowadays. So even a custom drone won’t be cheap. You used to be able to buy a stack for $60. Now it’s more $100

[@Chris-xo2rq]

Have you priced parts lately? Bardwell just did a video saying it's actually cheaper (and largely equal quality) to buy pre-built than to build your own these days.

[@DailyMynt]

@@Chris-xo2rq yea, go to get FPV and check out the custom prebuilt quads

[@MrAlucardDante]

@@DailyMynt you might want to go back to getfpv. Because I just checked and the cheapest custom built 5in HD is the qav-s johnnyfpv, and it’s $600. The GEPRC Mark4 retails at $450

[@DailyMynt]

@@MrAlucardDante you might want to check again, the custom QAVS regular while it’s out of stock at the moment it’s 430. And wasn’t sold out when I first made this comment, which was over 2 months ago

[@FattyFPV]

Groovy!

[@wildscorpian9719]

Hey Matt, Would you be able to do a review on the bnf Nazgul Evoque f6?, i want to get into the hobby!

[@seb-depp]

Thanks for the great review. What size of batteries can it hold with a GoPro without touching? One of the sore spots with my Rekon 5 is that even 1000mAh batteries touch the GoPro. Is the foam mount with the strap safe? seams as if it could fall out any second. GPS would be a killer for me. Nazgul on the other side doesn't seem to have ELRS. So far I'm flying the Rekon 5 HD PNP and I'm not happy with the range and the room. Any suggestions for a bind and fly digital cinematic fpv drone for full size GoPro, GPS and great range?

[@justindeierling2465]

Another great video! What do you think the minimum camera angle is before seeing the props?

[@outboxfpv4360]

Nice review. Can you pls share ur gopro 10 full protection stl file?

[@jianliu9420]

Whats the difference between digital and analogue?

[@abbefandi6742]

Hi, the drone is not available anymore?

[@imjackson.]

Hey man love the videos - I bought the Mark V & Cinelog35 with confidence from your videos. I saw you have a GoPro mount that looked to mount both horizontally and vertically - I am super interested in that. Mind sharing a link? Thanks!

[@h3kufc]

Im literally between those two drones, what would yo go with after some time with them?

[@joaoferreira8044]

Nice review! do you a link for gopro vertical mount as shown 4:08?

[@crithpyy7989]

So the RM Zorro comes out, then this, that can come with ELRS installed? Think I know what my next setup is gonna be.

[@MattPochwat]

The Zorro is definitely pretty nice for $100. Can't go wrong!

[@jhonvanveen305]

Hey matt Can you check the iflight mach r5?

[@zenargaming1257]

does it have GPS?

[@noahkc]

Hi

[@MattPochwat]

Hi

[@DroneViewPoland]

Great 😀👍

[@DailyMynt]

The Johnny FPV in house built drone from getfpv isn’t much more expensive than these. How would this compare to that?

[@MattPochwat]

Hmm that's a good question. Honestly, they're both so good that it's really hard to find faults with either one. Whether you get the Johnny drone, The Mark5, or the Evoque, you'll be able to capture the exact same shots with all of them. My Lumenier Johnny drone is 4S and my Mark5 is 6S so it's not a completely fair comparison either. Just look at the little details and see which one you like better.

[@leonie9248]

Hey I think the white balance of your talking head shots is off. Great job on the creative intro! I like watching your videos, and I love the handwritten communication:) And now please don’t make me regret buying a Nazgul Evoque. Ok I know sooome time in the future something better is gonna come. I know. I’ll slowly prepare.

[@MattPochwat]

The Evoque is so good though. I really doubt you're gonna feel the need to upgrade anytime soon. If anything, you might start wanting another type of FPV quad to give you more versatility. It happens to everyone...

[@leonie9248]

@@MattPochwat Thanks for your response ! I’ve got a tinyhawk 3 as well. Not the worst choice for a whoop but not the best either.

[@clazy9222]

I had the Iflight nazgul 5 v1 as my first 5" copter. I would now like to build one myself, but I don't know exactly which componets should I have to buy( I know all the stuff esc...) I mean which is the best what is better than the bnf that i had before but not too expensive?

[@MrAlucardDante]

If you want to save a bit of cash, or if you don’t need many uarts, buy an f405. If you need uarts or if you have a ton of cash, buy an f745. Stay away from f411 and f722 because betaflight 4.3 is way bigger and you will barely be able to flash it on the fc because they only have 512kb of flash memory. Reputable brands like iflight, diatone and geprc all make great fcs and escs. For escs, buy a blheli-s and flash bluejay, Chris Rosser made a video showing that BLHeli32 ESC don’t have a clear advantage while being more expensive. The amp rating depends on the build, but for a 5” you need at least a 35A esc. When it comes to motors, iFlight Xing are top of the line while being affordable. Emax eco lineup is great too. When it comes to vtx, if you are on analog, Rush Ultimate is the goto nowadays, although iFlight has some great VTXs.

[@clazy9222]

@@MrAlucardDante ok, thanks👍

[@DailyMynt]

Do you only fly digital now?

[@yeltesoete]

Where did you get that gopro pount/case with the vertical mounts?

[@MattPochwat]

custom made by @Noozle3D! They might be on their website but if not, I'm sure you could send them an email

[@MrFireflame50]

I just got this and I’ve been flying with a brand-new full send 1300 mah 130c battery and i only get 3:30 minute flight times when Geprc advertises 6-8 minutes. what am I doing wrong

[@Widflyinghigh]

I just bought this, shipping now, and this was my concern. It's on the way. I run 1300 6s. Pyrodrone 1300 weighs equal to other 1100. 120 or 130c. I was hoping for no less than 5 on that. You on 4s or 6s? Vista will be better but want and got air unit. 3:30 is not good though. I'm going to have to put on BF 4.3 and Dynamic idle to see if I can get more time. I was worried about that. Hoping the 21s would balance out the hungry 1960kv. Guess I'll find out.

[@MrFireflame50]

@@Widflyinghigh 6s

[@MrFireflame50]

@@Widflyinghigh Turns out the only issue was I was landing too early. Land at 21-21.6 v not 22.2 v

[@t.m.c.teammulticopter5636]

Where do you fly in Ontario....not many places legally allowed to fly ...I'm in montreal and it's hard to find places to fly legally also.....

[@MattPochwat]

It can definitely be pretty hard. The initial search is the hardest but over time it's possible to find some places

[@nextlevel_fpv]

I BEGGED GEPRC to let me review this drone for them and they told me no every time lol and then you get one sent to you when you didn't even want it! That's how the world works! Don't send me any drones to review! (Maybe now I will get a drone sent to me to review since I don't want it!

[@cesarrodriguez860]

I think that the Evoque 6s is a better purchase...

[@MattPochwat]

Genuinely curious, why do you think so?

[@cesarrodriguez860]

+ Evoque looks 3 years ahead ;) + Best side covers + Setup Labels + Light Leds (Look great) + Fly more smooth out of the box... Keep in mind that a GEPRC fanatic tells you lol... my first drone was a GEPRC Elegant...

[@jianliu9420]

Evoque has 20x20mm fc. Drains juice faster, the connector makes it tough to connect some batteries and has less flight time than mark 5 and has no bluetooth, and is heavier. Lol

[@NOT_ANOTHER_FPV]

I bet 100$ I can make it very un-fantastic with one crash lol.

[@MrSoulhook]

33K! Mechanophilia

[@jeanvaljean3045]

I feel like its overpriced tho.

2022 prices due to the chip shortage. Everything is more expensive now than 2 years ago
