🌬 ZOHD Drift - Dark Breeze: VLOG / My Experience - LOS and FPV

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

You can purchase the ZOHD Drift here: tiny.cc/ZOHD-Drift-DarkBreeze using discount Code: BG667598 Thanks for watching! 😃👍

[@SeatFX]

I love the Drift since it is so light, efficient and capable

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

I was honestly surprised how well it flew!

[@EnglishTurbines]

Liked your FPV HD mounting...Im sure 200mw would be plenty. I doubt it would reduce power consuption much though...Its a calm weather machine for sure...😳😏🇬🇧

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Thanks 👍🏻 Yes I think 200mw would be plenty too. I just started off a bit higher as I didn't want to risk losing video on a bird with no FC 😅

[@followthewhiterabbit7504]

I have one and I'm (pleasantly) surprised at how quiet it is, for a pusher.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Yeah it really is quiet isn't it! You're not going to upset people by making noise with this one 😃

[@ADF_Cable]

Love the fpv view!

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Some people don't like having the plane in shot, but I actually quite like it 😃 thanks!

[@RamFunwind]

No podría ser menos, es un ZOHD!

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Yeah they do make decent planes 😃 I think my least favourite one was the Dart250 yet people seem to love it

[@AerialWaviator]

Nice FPV setup. Would suggest putting the camera on a pan servo. Think being able to pan the view, as a scenic flyer suits the Drift.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

For sure a pan always makes for a more enjoyable experience 😃 Thanks for watching!

[@kwaaaa]

"i'm not going long range with this" - famous last words. ;)

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Haha we’ll see 😅 thanks for watching

[@ADF_Cable]

They are so light! I really had cog issues on my maiden.... Still need to fix😮

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

CG is not easy on this model. Can’t believe I had to shove a 2s1p as far back as it would go 🥴

[@jojo-._.]

What a great video! Im on my second drift and used it for fpv but turned it back for LOS because it just flew so, so well. I have mine noseheavy because of a 3s 1300mah, but 45 minutes of flight time are no joke, right? I flew it on 2s 18650s back on my first drift and it had like 30 minutes of flight time... Probably more my experience but its fast af on 3s. I put yellow tape under the wings to make it more visible. Also be carefull not to rip those wings of, it took me like 4 months on my first one. I really enjoy watching your videos and was stoked to see this video about this particular plane!

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@craycle]

What about the 3D Printed Planes? Great video btw ✌️

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Thanks 😃 Well one of my flying buddies is the 3D printed planes man and he's got a few ready to maiden... but he had a baby earlier this year which meant I haven't seen him for a while 😅 and now the weather is getting fairly bad here. I'm sure they will make an appearance some time soon though.

[@ethkid8925]

Hey Adam, such a great overview. I am really looking for a small, quiet plane like the Drift, though I have a spare O3 system I would love to use. Do you think it can handle another 18650 weight and space-wise? Or can you recommend a completely different frame? this is my first wing after a 9 year break from the hobby.

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Hi, and thanks :) for me if I was going to FPV with an O3 I'd go with the AtomRC Swordfish: tiny.cc/AtomRC-Swordfish This is a great all rounder and super easy to fly and launch. Carry the battery and O3 no problems. Cheers

[@ethkid8925]

@@AdamGdoesFPV thank you so much for your insight, I think I settled on the Nano Goblin, I am really keen on a small build :) Have you ever tried that frame out?

[@alexhorne9462]

First view! Let’s go!!!

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@westey2611]

just tested mine out what are your rates and expo

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Sorry I can't remember my rates. I think Expo was at 30 on ele and ail

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Thanks 😁

[@MonkeyGood]

Do u need to charge the battery

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

They are not disposable if thats what you mean? Yes you have to charge them

[@devilsreject78]

I have both the white one and the black one obviously had the white one first the only thing I noticed about the black one is the foam is not nearly as strong I had it break in half twice during flights I've been known to hit 60 MPH with my white one and pull some crazy g-forces and it never snapped I have the video on my channel of it literally breaking during flight I have since you know fixed it it's still one of my favorite planes I'm not saying it's a piece of shit I'm just saying the black ones the phone is not nearly as strong or maybe mine had a defect cuz I haven't heard no one else say that they've had the same issue

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Interesting. It really wouldn't surprise me if the different colours held different properties... a bit like how my friend who 3D prints planes has to completely change his settings when using same brand of filament but in different colours. Were you in hot conditions using the black one? Just wonder if the sun heating it up might cause the foam to go a bit soft?

[@devilsreject78]

@@AdamGdoesFPV yes the black one is a I thinking denser style foam maybe mine had some sort of issue where there wasn't as much glue within the phone I don't know because I have hit way faster speeds with way more g-forces in my white one and it's never broken apart my black one broke apart within the fuselage about an inch pass the rear Spar there's a video of it on my Channel or where it actually breaks apart in the mid air you can see where it starts turning to the left and then just dive bombs
