Wait this isn't the Air75? | Meteor 75 Pro Review

[@saucydorp]

Amazing review, this review made me get it. Thanks!

[@butterflyfpv]

One of the best reviews of the meteor 75 pro! Great work for the community! I watched the whole video and I shared it on facebook. Your flying was great! Very precise! And your video editing is so good too!

[@im_ricebowl]

That means a lot to me coming from the person who made me want to try it out XD. Love your videos too about it man and I'll be doing some of the mods you recommended. Thank you for watching and sharing fam! Much love fam 🙌🙌

You are extremely good at this whole fpv content thing. Very impressed with this video, way more entertaining and well made than some of the other channels out there that I see. Keep it up mate

Damnn fam your comment just made my day XD I appreciate your kind words and it really does motivate me to keep things up and do do better too. Thank you too man for stopping by and I hope you have a great day cause you made mine one!

@@im_ricebowl You're welcome mate you totally deserve it. I hope you keep it going, I'm very keen to keep watching.

[@nolanb134]

​@@im_ricebowlI'm wondering if you use any special rates for inside v outside? I'm still kinda a novice but I find it super difficult to fly my 75pro around my house and under my chairs, but you make it look SO smooth and easy. I feel like it's too touchy and powerful for me. I'm thinking some rates changed might help but I'm wondering if you have any advice in this area?

[@im_ricebowl]

​@@nolanb134that's actually my secret XD for all my drones, regardless if it's for inside, outside, cine whoop, whoop, open prop....they all have the same rates! because if you can master that set of rates, you'll learn to use the same rates for any type of drone. Ive had the same rates for a few years now XD The only thing I would consider changing is throttle mid and throttle expo. If you're having trouble with throttle management for the 75 pro, I suggest setting the throttle mid to around 39 and experiment with how much expo you need. Thank you man! I'll keep on producing vids for you guys cause I really do enjoy it too!

We often forget a lot of the "old" stuff is still really good for most of us, but I do love new things...

Thanks for the compliment fam! my 1+ year of flying indoors is finally paying off XD the 75 Pro cruises like a dream

[@yah5o]

2:45 - Now, since you mentioned the cable: this is a thing that's been bothering me since I got my Meteor. Everything these days is USB-C. Smartphones, chargers, the cable and even the small charger / voltage checker in the kit. But do you know what is not USB-C? You're right: the connector on the drone. That one is micro USB. So you can't use the cable to connect the drone to your computer. Instead, you'll probably have to purchase a new micro USB cable because you threw them all away 5 years ago. It's probably because there was no more space left on the FC to fit an USB-C plug, but man, I wished they had at least put another cable iin the box.

[@im_ricebowl]

this is a very valid critism on their part XD tho that's mostly because most whoop boards are still using micro usb (it has a smaller footprint than usb c) which they did change in their air series. It makes sense too since the meteor series (where they started using the cross f4 board) started years ago. cool that they made that change in the air 75 and 65 so it should be easier now and pilots won't need to find new cables to use since most usb cables have data lines

[@ManvilleSchreiber]

Great video!

[@im_ricebowl]

I appreciate it man XD

[@parker1ray]

I am 62 with failing eyesight! I love the motor plug connectors! I used to build all my own quads including micros, but 10 years sure makes a difference LOL! Could you please measure the frame from out to out? I 3D print cases and need this to print one before the quad comes in two weeks!

[@nebz_fpv]

This review is so timely. For weeks now, I had been planning to either buy or build one, but suddenly the new Air models were released, which has made my decision more difficult. I would still go for Meteor 75 Pro. I agree with @butterflyfpv, on which I'm also a fan, this is one of the best reviews on this model.

you should try it with those "lava" branded- or any folded cell / square cell 1s, I heard they improve the performance of 65mm drones massively so should make even more of a difference on a bigger drone right?

[@Sprote1]

Hey! Great review again. Really enjoyable! I have a question. Again. How did you build you pvc pipes tower? Do you have a Vid for something like that or did you just did it your self? Any suggestions for me building something similar in my room?

[@im_ricebowl]

@@Sprote1 hey hey! it's actually very simple and I can give you some instructions but I believe if you search IGOW gates (official dimensions used for contests), you'll see a bunch of pilots videos on it. Nonetheless, here's what I did: - 1/2 inch PVC pipes cut into 42cm long segments - bought several types of fittings. Best to sketch out a diagram of what you want yours to be and plan out what type of PVC fittings you want since they come different angles and number of connectable segments. There's Ls, Ts, and a bunch of other ones too. - I personally wouldn't glue them together but they should have some friction to them when you out it together - I also have a 5ft long PVC at the top that's just ziptied to the main tower to try out powerloops, mattys, and split-s'

Cool i’ve been fly 75pro frames a bunch the last month. Just did a walksnail build for hd too. If i don’t use extra long FC screws the little posts break off fast. I think i’m going to put an old mob7 style canopy on it so the camera sits further forward and keeps the ducts more minimized

eyyy hope she's flying great man! Between the two, I'll say for sure that I had more control with the 75 pro BUT I will say that the Air75 was more fun 😉 gonna talk what I mean in the next video - but I agree the canopy is not good. I had that canopy months before the air76/65 release and I broke so many in a few months 🤣

They have a new Meteor 75 pro with the Matrix aio i wonder how it will compare to this one and the air 75 🤔

[@brandon9689]

The air 65 and 75 are certainly lightweight and agile. But it's basically the same weight savings and low durability of the 2024 mobula 6. My 2024 mobula 6 died much faster than any FPV product I've ever owned. I bought an air 75, but only because it's so cheap and my expectations are low. If it goes badly I'm either going for a meteor 75 next or done with micros altogether.

[@im_ricebowl]

Imma be real with you, after realizing that added weight isn't that bad, I may just take the guts out of the Air75/65 and use a more durable frame and canopy XD. hope the air75/65 does actually work well, specifically thr aio since that's really what I'm after cause I wanna use it for future Hachidorii frames.
