Being a Flashlight Collector. I always wondered if there would be any more Drones using these cells besides the Mavic Mini. Looks like it works very good. Hope to see more of them Thanks Captain
"You'll know you've inserted the battery correctly when you don't see any smoke" LMAO Good morning Cap'n! Always great to start my week with another great review of another cool drone to make me want to spend my money. My wife just walked by and rolled her eyes when she saw me watching another of your videos - she says hi lol. Great job as always!
the cell you are using seems to have a pretty high capacity and thus more voltage sag. you might even get more flight time from a smaller capacity but lower internal resistance cell like the sony vtc6 because with the cell you are using it wont be able to suck all the batteries power out of it because of the vtx and other electronics shutdowns before 2.5v
That's quite interesting I do like that it runs off an 18650 such a common battery size and easy to replace. Really cool drone, I might grab one when I can get a chance. I did end up getting a dji mini 2 and I couldn't be happier I did not expect this drone to be as good as it is.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yes it really is these fpv drones with the goggles are sweet too though. The only bad thing about this is I see my wallet getting smaller haha. Awesome review as always man take care.
Cool drone for sure. 💯👍🏻👍🏻 Be careful picking up cheap 18650 batteries. Some of them are nowhere near the capacity they claim. I decent 18650 will weight about 43-45 grams or so.
If you have a drone with a 10 min or more flight time then crossfire is a good way to go, but for drones with less than 10 mins, you can't fly far before you have to turn around.
More than 50% of the pilots are using long range signal like crossfire not to do long range! But just to have more signal penetration in bandos and florests...with crossfire is hard to have a failsave. Xm+ is perfect for racing in a small track or freestyle but not to go farway.
Took my Hubsan for a flight the other day wow, what a fast flyer, and really smooth.Must admit got those arial add ons, they look like mini tv aerial’s, claim they boost the signal I don’t know if they do, but they look really cool. We should all be flying hover cars by now not driving along cracked roads
Love the review. but in my Windy world "this is not the drone I am looking for" . I watched the Rekon 5 Review.. loved that one as well. How about the Rekon 4 for a review.
Very cool little drone, great review. If i'm not mistaken, i believe Dave C. was the person who created it. I 3D printed one and its gonna be my next build.
Of this AIO flight controller is rated 5A, then you wont really need a 18650 with more than 10A. I find the Babyhawk 2 HD with a 4S 18650 VTC6 pack to be a really nice long range and freestyle if you want. Better cam too. Not under 250g with 18650 pack though.
Another great review Sreve you are getting me more interested in FPV, can you recomend a basic controller, and glasses to match this drone for a no nonsense set up???
I can’t really recommend this drone for a beginner because the carbon fibre arms are thin and would not survive the crashes a beginner would cause. Perhaps a beginner FPV kit like the two I recently reviewed from BetaFPV and Eachine would suit you nicely.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 have a machine 010 which I added a TX01 to, it works ok but ... I cant tolerate the 4 minute flight times..... 15 minutes would be awesome.
Not all 18650 cells are equal. Buy brand name and make sure it's genuine. Top brand is panasonic but many are fake. Other brands are LG and sony. Some vape shops and online flashlight stores sell genuine cells if u r in Canada.
reason there's no people is cuz it's 7 a.m., but I noticed the last 5 years or so everything feels like zombie apocalypse cuz everyone just sits inside staring at screens. Those of us doing outdoor hobbies like this are pretty much the survivors of the apocalypse and the rest are like mindless zombies lol
I don’t have a drone yet and I been watching your (and many other) videos and this one excited me, maybe the most of all so far, cheap easy and I have a bunch on 16850’s because I vape, lol. I’m not not sure what controller to get and if I will get fat sharks or another brand yet. I’m still unclear after many videos on controllers and remotes. Thanks!
That Efest 3500mah 10A/20A battery wasn't up to the job. Voltage was sagging too low and gave a pretty short flight. I recommend the 3000mah 20A/35A version for longer flight times. Or the Sony VTC6 3000mah 15A/30A as recommended by HGLRC.
@@EVO1087R No, too heavy. At least one manufacturer has tried that configuration but with different components and they don't fly well. There are reviews of it on the tube here somewhere.
If your going to send that long range you might want to use the rssi pad on the xm and solder it to the rssi pad on the fc and set it up as analog rssi in betaflight kuz I saw you have 0 rssi! You have crossfire and the weight is close to the same and just use the stock di pole antennas on the nano rx in the l orientation if you wanna send that thimg Also your vtx power was only pushing 200mw not 350 so fix that in the vtx table
nice. wish DJI or some big brand replicates something like this for decent photo/video. though a Mini 2 is cheap compared to the first Mavic Pro, drones should be cheaper so that I could use them more often and riskier shots.
You can build what you want, this model was invented By a normal guy like me or you, the brand just make a deal with him to produce this model. His name is DaveC, now is ONE of the most famouse FPV pilot in the world with a few models in the market and working in future prototypes. Forget dji drones! They are shit
Sorry Cap. but I still have not gone over to the FPV side lol dwl but as always I appreciate your work always informative . I do enjoy seeing you fly them tho. 👍👍👍👍
hey friend excellent video!! makes a video teaching how to put gps on it creating a new serial port since fc doesn't have enough port to receive the tx and rx of the gps module
I wonder if you can also connect it to your dji googles and radio controller? As well as change the camera with a better digital camera, plus a better long range antenna?
I have a question for you. My drone came in today it’s good but my question is when it’s out of distance will the return to home option work? If not how could I get my drone back?
@@gd8630 Please read your question above, you make no mention that you are speaking about an F11 PRO. Questions for the F11 PRO should be posted under the F11 PRO video so as not to confuse viewers.

More cool drones under 250 grams!
And old couple were on there porch in Roswell 1947 but it wasn’t a drone they were watching but an alleged ufo.

I guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch new series online ?
I created a brushed micro quad with 6-in propellers that were geared down. With a single 18650 I got 23 minutes of flight time. Hovering
Wow Steve!
Its a superb one!
64 grams and 15 mins flying time??!?!

We use them in a group of 4 for long range flying and they are commercially available now 👍
32nd!! Awesome fpv.. Nowadays you can buy 18650 anywhere so the battery will not be the problem..
Nice review. This is the first review of this guy I've seen where it didn't get broken. Good job!
Now that is a cool little FPV drone buddy 👍👍👍

Wow you came very close to bird strike about 6 mins in! Hehe!
That little drone looks like fun!
Good review Steve. Neat little Drone.
That's crazy. This is a year old, but still so cool.
Hmm, I wonder if putting a small super-capacitor in parallel with the battery might cure the "brown out" issue with an 18650?
Hurry up and sell them in the UK. Always slow over here. Thanks for video Steve.Best regards from U.K.
buy it from banggood.

I'm so glad you had the XM+ version because that's what I just ordered. Everyone seems to be using crossfire or other receivers.
If you have a drone with a 10 min or more flight time then crossfire is a good way to go, but for drones with less than 10 mins, you can't fly far before you have to turn around.

i have a small drone it packed into a controller.low flying time about 6 minutes. just got to order rekon 3 nano
Cool fpv drone Captain Drone
You should try this with Samsung 30q batteries. They have a high discharge so the voltage won't sag artificially low.
Cool video about this fpv drone Captain Drone

Hey Capt. ur video editing is getting better and better each day. Which editing software do u use?

Can you use the RadioMaster TX12 radio with this quad and the FRSKY XM+ receiver??????
This makes the black hornet look massive, and at a fraction of the price.
muy bueno....buena edición compañero...que ganas de ir a Canadá ....
Put a loop of electrical tape on the battery, create a tab on one side. Makes it easy to remove ....
Good...drone racing 👍
When the Radio Controller is 5 times bigger than the drone hehe Good review as always Captain! :)
GREAT video my friend!
Captain drone what do u recommend the SJRC F11 4K Pro OR EX4 PRO drone im about to buy a drone in morning .. THANKS .
The drone is awesome, it is very small and reminds me of the Flywoo explorer.
Maybe, because they both are designed by the same guy, Dace_C? ;)

This looks quite good! One can be called a micro drone if it sizes about a palm and flies with a coin cell battery.
Thats way the first model is called NANO.LR

My question is, what happens if you make it 2s li-ion 18650?
It gets too heavy with two 18650. Then you need to match bigger motors, frame ect.

Obviously you do not have it setup and bound correctly.
Nice, but it seems a bit wobbly in flight
Would have been nice to put in a camera that uses a micro SD to record at the camera, should be more than a couple of grams weight penalty.
Normaly to dont add more weight we record with the goggles DVR... because in a low weight nano drone like this ONE gram can Make a diference.
