Beautiful editing, so glad I found this video. I've been curious about a large framed drone for a while and you answered a lot of the questions I have. Your channel will do well.
This review is so so so well put together! Such a pleasure to watch some insane shots in there
Thanks so much! And thanks for making the most exciting and well put together FPV drones🤩
Appreciate the great review and amazing footage! I just received my Helion, can't wait to take it out to fly.
Brilliant review, incredible shots, not too long or too short, ... perfect!
Thank you Philip Halvorsen for this video, well edited and filmed. I am looking forward to seeing your channel grow.
So many great shots. Great flying.
Man your content instant one of the best fpv accounts out there
sick review guys.... i had goosebumps throughout the whole thing
O my word, this is awesome. The helium is going on my shopping list! Thank you. Great flying man
Great piloting and lovely shots. Thanks for the video.
This is a fantastic review, Philip. What gorgeous scenery, too. I love this quad, but wish I had some mountain ranges like that here in South Oz to fly it down. Awesome mate! 🙌❤
simply top tier review - subbed
Absolutely fantastic work guys. Amazing footage.
Amazing man ! 👌nice review and video 👏🏼 keep going make this content 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome job Phillip, amazing release, in the future I will prob get one, until then I will keep seeing your content!
You just earned yourself a new sub. Keep up the great work!
damn so nice quality review ! great work man !
The "amazing stability" literally from the PID tune and not solely from the build. iFlight definitely makes solid bind-and-fly builds though.
No bro, not one tuning PID doesn’t happened when you vihecle having weight 0,5kg or different 2kg, prop rotating 5inch so fast, 10inch … very different
@@popriehI see words, but you aren't saying anything. Please explain yourself.
@phiveone That, combined with props that are actually factory balanced these days. Balancing props was, for a long time, absolutely necessary for stable flight.
I think it's both and you're both right. Poor frame engineering and design results in oscillations that can't be filtered and/or tuned out. I just ordered this thing. Once it arrives I will see how well the claims hold up. If I remember I'll come back here and report my findings.
You need a good quality frame to get a good PID tune.
@@dr0n3droid you need to see better, use 👓 , i tell about the vehicle have different weights, propeller diameters, and this difference is not compensated by any PID setting
Dude, this vid is pure fire - awesome review and those shots, man!
It's practically begging to be iFlight's official ad! Subbed to your channel after catching this gem. Big ups on the success vibes for your future content! Quick Q: Just hopped on the Chimera 7 Pro V2 train, and I gotta know, what's your take on how it stacks up against Chimera7 (wind resistance and the whole flying vibe)?
Keep shredding, bro!
beautiful footage bro, those chases are crazy
Some of the footage captured is amazing!
Philip! Really nice work you put into your first YT video - well thought through and I enjoyed watching it. Very well reviewed and got me to understand now the Helion even more! :)
Appreciate it so much!
Amazing video! Really well summarized, the only problem.. now I can't want to wait for my Helion anymore :) Keep going!!
Very well made review! Keep it up!
Amazing work pro ❤
Amazing content, photage, clear and detailed explenation and postediting.
I am starting to pickup on many amazing channels with few subscribers while "influencers" seem to have 100k+ subs. Unbelievable. Keep it up Philip and good luck!
Amazing video . Your spots look like a dream for me 😍
Epic shots man!
Thanks so much!!
Awesome video guys!!!
WOW! Video well done and i like the choice of music
Love this man. So many epic spots to fly up there!
Appreciate it! You have to visit next year 😄
Makes me want to get into FPV again! :D great video .
Preposterously beautiful footage. I'm sure the Helion is cool or whatever, but this Norway review has me thinking about my next vacation!
really great footage. It's really nice to see what it looks like on the Lofoten Islands now. I was there in the summer and also flew FPV, but with snow it looks incredible too.
Appreciate it! just saw your new video and it´s epic! But you have to talk english or else i have to learn German 😂
Nicee likte den! Bra jobba, Phillip! 👏
Tusen takk!
Beautiful shots.
I just watched a masterpiece of a video and thought, this guy must have a ton of subscribers. So much potential! Keep going
Appreciate that so much!!
Wow, the most incredible cinematic shots I have ever seen! I am flying 5 inch freestyle quad and after watching this video I must try long range witch some bigger drones. Great job with amazing shots! I was having great time watching them.
Thanks so much! Exploring with Long-Range is so much fun!
Man, some sections almost look like a render.
Amazing footage and lovely machine... That thing is huge.
Big thums up fella.
Cheers
First of all great video. I didn’t catch if you said which GoPro you’re using? The quality of this video is next level man.i will definitely need one of these GoPros on my drone
the stuff you did here is basically my life goal
Nice, good to see tests with familiar terrain :)
You have to visit so we have to fly together!
Great shots! And yes...gotta keep those hands warm for sure. So EPIC when you have a buddy who can help create those 'chase fpv clips', which look great! Looks like a beast of an quad...thanks fore the review!
Thanks man! I am super lucky to have the chasing king @babang_des help me for shure!!
best review on youtube, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video, Philip! Nice to see you and Babang with even better toys/tools out there ;) I have been waiting for someone to test this drone. I would love to get one some time :) Hilsen fra Trondheim
Beautiful!
Ilfight makes such good quads. Love my og chimera 7.
Interesting build - I'm not used to seeing such a large drone with such a small camera. I'm sure it doesn't notice the gopro weight at all 🙌
You’re right! It barely notices the Gopro at all
Awesome quad!!
i love every part of that fpv is getting more consumer friendly!
Great vid!
Great video!
Du gjorde det veldig lett å bestemme dronen å skaffe for å få fine og kule shots av de vakre fjellene :)
WOW!! iflight are smashing it ..
lets gooo my guy!
Awesome flying. Hope to get to the Lofoten or Senja next year. And makes me want to get if even after just upgrading to my first 7"/build...
Thanks so much! You have to visit 🙌
The footage from that is butter and graded perfectly. i guess the subject helps, too! hahaha
But also the footage from the rest of the review is super high quality and cinematic also! Great job! Makes me want a 10"! 😃
Appreciate it man! 🙏
that footage be crazy
nice review
Amazing video man!!! I’m planning to buy first fpv drone, already have the Dji Mavic 3 pro for cinematic shots, but I need to film some water sport activities with the yachts. And I found this drone so nice for my next project !
Thanks so much! the Helion would be a good fit for yachts and water sports!
Hi from England. You mentioned getting cold hands. If you got an old sleeping bag you could cut the bottom off and add a plastic window so you can see the screen and put the remote control in the sleeping bag. Close the entry hole with velcro. You can make holes for the ariels etc as needed. You can still wear gloves too. You can also buy heating pads that run off a 5 volt battery. Google 5 volt usb heating pads and you should come up with something. I recently bought some bar cycle mits for my bike, which is where I got the idea from. They are like a bag that fits on your handlebars over your breaks and you slip your hands in. All the best.
Hey! that's genius! Will be easy to fly for longer then!
i like this 👍👍👍loved my 7inch, but this would be perfect for chasing long range fpv planes
Only 700 subs? This is beautiful cinematography
Great video ! And amazing places 😍 I fly 7” but I often struggle on pid tuning , not for dynamic flight but for throttle cruising vibrations and wind management , cannot imagine how complicated could be with 10 inch props !
7" machines are usually harder to tune than slightly bigger ones actually.
Thanks! It is more complicated with bigger props for shure! And things like battery placement and weight because more of a big factor
HOW THE HECK DO YOU HAVE LESS THAN 2K SUBS?!!
lol great video man!
Let's go IFlight
wonderful🙆♂
That is a sweet looking drone. Iflight makes solid, nice looking builds. Almost $1000 just for the drone oooomphh. I would be so nervous to loose it in the mountains haa
Awesome review! Thanks. Do you have a link for that 6S lipo? A google search came up blank.
Love it bro! Really nice reivew and I love that is is in the field! ❤
Thanks!🫶 can’t wait for some Long Range Action in Switzerland 🤩
Great review dude. Thank you 🙏
Hey Philip,
great review! What do you use for coating the electronics? I didn't catch that. 🙂
Thanks! We used Worry Free to make it waterproof :)
Bischen mehr Telemetriewerte wäre schön. Welche Betaflight Version habt ihr drauf?
Super Aufnahmen! Schöne Gegend.
A little more telemetry would be nice. Which Betaflight version do you have?
Super shots! Beautiful area.
I feel like if they make a frame available in 10 and 9 inch size builders would love this, I would make it 8s and when the O4 comes out put that in it
Amazing video! I got my Helion set up and ready to go! Where did you purchase your batteries and/or what brand are they?
Thanks man! i got my batteries from Bonka Power
Nice vid! Quick question, what batteries you use on the BOB57?
Thanks! i use the 2800mah batteries from Gens Ace
Are you flying the helion with the 4.4 or 4.5 (beta) software to remove micro vibrations on the tune? This it the best review on youtube.
Dude nice vid, got my sub! Very informative and AMAZING shots. Come shred the crags in Alaska with me!🤘
Thanks man! would love to visit Alaska 😍
I'm serious man! No one does fpv here. I have the entire last frontier to myself. Adventure awaits🤘
Amazing review. Nice work.
Thanks so much!!
Very useful and nice review. Are you using the DJI goggles? Also, what type of range extender are you using on the goggles? Which ones would you recommend to extend the video range for the goggles? I have a DJI Avata and the video quality gets choppy when the drone is a highly wooded area
0:08 Imagine trying to walk in a forest with that stowed thus. You'd destroy it in seconds.
Hey man I just found your channel and all of your shots is super sick! Btw how do you stabilize all the footage? is it the feature you turn on the go pro setting? or is it from the post processing effect? If it is from the post processing can you share what software and setting? Thanks btw. Your video is really tempting me to go from the normal dji drone to fpv 🤤
Thanks! i stabilize it with Reelsteady, very simple and "the least" stabilized setting :)
I need that backpack brudda
Can’t wait to use it to chase buggies and motorcycles in the desert really nice video. I’m very excited to hear that it handles well and can still fly pretty fast.
Man it’s perfect for chasing stuff and you have the perfect playground 🤩
I’m working a race next weekend 🔥🤙🏻🏁 Thank you Philip.
I would love to have one
It's reworked 10 inch version of HL7 that is what it reminds me of. Otherwise its well done video, I wish we have mountains like this where I am at.
Great video and review😁🙌
Can you tell us your rates?
Do you fly betaflight or actual rates?🙏
Thanks! i used the defult rates that are all set on 500, ill go more into it in the next videos😄
Er så braaa!!
Tusen takk! 😄
@@Philip_Halvorsen hva er toppfarten på denne ? cruise fart ?
Can you provide an extended explanation of how to get the same setup that you're using. Looking into buying this drone but not sure what receiver, battery plate, headset etc that you're using and where do one get those batteries that your using and mount them on the drone?
Looks like a slick rig! I've got a 10" that I fly sometimes, but I find that I can get 20-30 mins of flight time out of a 7", so I haven't found the need for the big guy comes up very often.
It does look like you need to pick up a transmitter glove of some sort, though! Make the most of those flights!
I do need to try a transmitter glove for sure! Do you fly with li-ion batteries on the 7 inch?
@@Philip_Halvorsen When I need 30 minutes, yes. If a 12 minute flight is sufficient, then I'll still run like a 5200 mAh 4S lipo, to have the amperage headroom without as much weight. The 21700 4S2P packs I run can do 100A if I need them to at 8.2 Ah, but they're quite heavy -- not as bad as running a 5Ah 6S pack on a 7", though! They still feel agile enough for dives and such, even with a li-ion pack and a gopro.
On my 10", I generally run 10Ah 6S packs; I found it flies a lot better with a little more heft to it, but I think I'm running bigger motors than you are. I really should try upgrading to the latest betaflight and see how nicely I can get that 10" to fly. =D
7" Chimera can fly over 40mins and 30km+
@@ali3n24with what battery? I’m looking at the 8500mah pack Iflight makes.
@@ryanclineco 10 000 li ion 6s
WOAAHHHH
What kind of receiver and RC do you use and to which Frequeny and Power ist it set to?
Just asking because of the insane ranges you are getting
Helion is very easy for FC to overheat to temperatures above 70 degrees. Is it true that Helion is not reliable in tropical countries with hot temperatures or is it not suitable in coastal areas because the cover lacks air circulation?
absolutely speechless. Wow.
And the price is negligible considering what it's capable of!
Thanks man! I also think the price is great for what you get! Would be the same or higher to build something similar
Wau, nice video.
With that size, how is the regulatory side of flying, especially in norway? Do you always need a specific permit?
Appreciate that! I do have specific certification, but you can be a member in a Hobby flight club to fly FPV without a Spotter. Just need insurance, register on Flydrone.no and then can fly it on A3 open category
Might as well be directed by Peter Jackson with that beginning montage. Wow!
Hi there, does the helion have features such as the Avata, like different modes since it's using the DJI O3 unit?
Fun to see you upload some videos to youtube! Are you gonna use this drone in productions?
Thanks! It is so fun to finally be active on TH-cam! will definitely use it on productions for shure
Does it come with the view finder/mask that you put over your eyes?
I loved the yellow box landing attempt haha. too relatable
