V-Copter Falcon bi rotor aerial filming Drone Flight endurance test

[@iicray]

I fly v-coptr falcon's predecessor product and their functionalities are similar. And I also have to say this review is awasome and comprehensive. Good job, alishanmao.

[@alishanmao]

Thank you So much. Appreciate it buddy. 👍🌹

You are definitely getting big like! Thanks for testing this new falcon for all of us. Wishing you a wonderful new year!

Thanks, you too!

Ali, I love your expertise at flying and informative posts. In contrast you have people like Bill the Drone Reviewer the spew pure horseshit with every word. His competence at flying is entry level at best and yet he talks like he's a pro with ridiculous podcasts. He deletes any comment that tries to explain and contradict his post.

[@alishanmao]

Thank you for following my work. Appreciate your support.

[@ChrisParayno]

Yes! It's because this guy flies everything. Too many "drone experts" KZbin reviewer just push and want to sell.

[@alishanmao]

@@ChrisParayno :) thank you, i am doing my best to bring right and to the point review videos to my followers so they can make an informed decision. as much as i am tempted to go push and sell strategy in my videos, I do not think i can sleep well at night if i follow that strategy. I show straight and clear what is good and bad in a product and i have a good peaceful sleep at night knowing people will make informed decision. more test flights of this drone will come soon

[@jeffvoigt3501]

Hi Ai. Great reviews on the Falcon. I watched several of your videos on the V-Copts before receiving mine (a helped crowdfund but just received mine about 3 weeks ago. I have 8 hours on the drone now.). I’m very happy with my V-Coptr. I fly a Mavic 3, Mavic 2 Pro, and an Inspire 2. Of all the drones I own, the Falcone is the most graceful and enjoyable to fly each day. Great job Zero Zero Robotics. Heads-up: I just ordered spare props from Amazon. Extra batteries to follow. Both are provided from the manufacturer (not 3rd party). Zero Zero isn’t selling these on their website yet. They are pushing directly to Amazon.

[@alishanmao]

well said and i like their strategy, they did not hurry to release it. they tested it for such a long time and keep on improving and it just simply works. its a superb drone to fly for fun and also camera is really nice

[@huedwary3802]

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the info. May I get some advice from you? I'm choosing between the V-coptr and Mavic 3. I'm wondering why you get the V since you already have a Mavic 3? Also I watched other review videos. It seems that V-coptr's camera is not as good as Mavic's, and V-coptr can only detect obstacle but not actually avoid it. What do you say about this?

[@jeffvoigt3501]

@@huedwary3802 Hi Hu. Thanks for your message. The V-coptr is a quiet, graceful flyer. I like the uniqueness too since it flys with 2 rotors not 4). The V-coptr camera IS outdated … equal to the original Mavic Pro or Mavic Air. But it’s not a “work” drone. It’s strictly recreational. Not my daily flyer. I’m still happy with the V-coptr for these reasons. I also fly the Mavic 3 every day. It’s faster. It carrie’s a great camera (wide angle and zoom). So it really depends on your preferences. Do you want to fly a drone just for the beauty and grace of flight? Go with the V-coptr. I hope this answers your inquiry. Jeff

[@huedwary3802]

@@jeffvoigt3501 Thanks. Really appreciate it. The last question: they claim it to be 50 mins Max flight time. Is that something really makes a difference to you?

[@jeffvoigt3501]

@@huedwary3802 hi Hu. Not really. Anything longer than 30 or 35 min in the air is good enough for me. And I’m getting 35 min or more on the V-Coptr.

Assalamualaikum Ali........ This drone is very unique and interesting, Ali, the sound is not noisy, 35-40 minutes of flight time, 3 axis gimbal is stable, although it turns out there are still some features that are not perfect. Very innovative 2 motor design. I have something to ask about the location, where is the location where this video was taken, because it doesn't seem to be in the middle east, thank you Ali.....

Great video Ali. I really enjoyed watching you fly this bird. I'd say 35 minutes of real time flying isn't bad at all given my Mavic Air 2 is supposed to get up to 34 minutes but I'm lucky to get 25 minutes. I usually get more like 20 to 21 minutes with 20% battery life left. I try to never run my batteries below 20%.

[@silbernersurfer8264]

Very good vid! Thanks for this! 2 props should be more efficiant compared to 4 props, regarding flight time. If we dont get a flux compensator like in "Back to the future" this could be our future!

[@alishanmao]

Absolutely!

[@tatsbyk1]

How can 2 prop be more efficient than 4. Wouldn’t it mean that those two motors would have to work that much harder than with 4. Constant work. Not able to idle like the quad motor?

alishanmao ? 4k video cameras use more power than 1080p cameras. so if you video record anytime during the test it will shorten the battery life.

possibly :)

How much? New subscriber. Really looks cool. Design factor is different.

Thanks for the sub. but for its features and what it is, it is a bit pricey

[@freddyfredrickson]

The camera is okay but it has a narrow dynamic range.

[@darrellwilson670]

Did you test the NFZ with this drone? I have had conflicting information from Zero Zero about their programming in the firmware and neither explained exactly what would happen if this thing hits a NFZ. I had info that the drone would either land or fall from the sky, I am waiting on this before I purchase one as I am not a NFZ person. Let me know if you have tested this thing in a NFZ if there is an override with a LAANC

[@alishanmao]

no chance to test nfz, we live far from any airports. normally these drones, when reach to NFZ fencing zone, they won't go any further and a notice will pop up on your app about it. they will not land, not return to home, but stay there. you can fly them around or bring them back.

[@dkfkdkddk]

Doesn't it fall over easily when landing? If you fall, the propeller will break do you just go forward? Can you go sideways or backwards?

[@alishanmao]

no. it lands very stable

[@philmcgladdery1398]

What was the ambient temperature on the day of the test? It looks a warm climate so the overheating might not be a problem for colder countries. That said it was clearly not the hottest part of the day.

[@philmcgladdery1398]

The other thing worth looking at is the wind resistance. I doubt it will stand up to the same wind speed as a quad. Nice looking machine though and the camera is very impressive. If the price comes down to “sensible” I might have a play.

[@alishanmao]

It has handled more winds than a quad would do. I have tested it in winds where i would not fly a dji. it did absolutely fine. no issues flying around. solid hover too. over heating issue started after an update. before update i have been flying it on hotter days mid days under the sun last days of summer here. no issues never had over heating warning. right after update it started doing this. I reported this to factory and they have released a new firmware. i will fly and test again. stay tuned for next tests.

sounds like the software is nowhere near as mature as it needs to be..either that,or the heat sinks/cooling system needs to be upgraded which would probably require a recall.my mavic 2 pro zoom would have gone a lot further than that with no heating issues

[@alpha_pixel_]

It should hold more than a drone.. because it can keep the body straight. Drones need to tilt towards wind which pushes it more. This just tilt props and will be much stable.
