    It's been a while since I've seen such a well done review on anything on TH-cam. I've got a sudden interest in FPV quads lately and this review makes me really feel like I know what I'm getting into when I get this quad. You really went above and beyond on this review. Thank you!

    Hey Dustin, cool review! I can always expect the Dustin Durability Test(TM) in your videos. That's definitely something you don't get in most reviews.
    Yeah those stock propellers are terrible. I destroyed the stock props in the first session so I replaced them with Dalprop T5045c Cyclones and after a bunch of crashes I'm still on the first set. Joshua Bardwell has a cool video with a vbat hack for battery monitoring.
    Edit: Please take your props off when you're hooked up to betaflight!

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks Wes. I've gotten so good at crashing in the most peculiar ways..lol
      Yes, props off when in betaflight! I got lazy since they take so much work to put on and decided to make the setup vid at the last minute.

  • @skypilot23

      Dustin, I saw both your Wizard videos and noticed you didn’t know where to put the antennas. I used the zip ties to mount them to the rear stand offs. I angled them in at the bottom and probably get 60-70 degrees.

      Year later and its good for first month then starts to degrade fast, motors kept cutting out and esc shorted 20 times over, vtx broke randomly as soon as it landed from a flight, frame snapped only 4 months in and i only crashed once, its great for a month then after its crap, dont buy get a different quad and notice not for begginers at all factory settings are bullshit and overall quad is 2/10

    Always disarm in a event of control lost or crash, motor was trying to spin and fried the ESC. Also, No beeper out of the box so time your flights and feel the throttle.

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, in a best case scenario you want to disarm immediately. I think it took me a few seconds so this may have caused the fire. Or just the hard initial hit into the fence.

    First off.... freakin bad ass and thorough review !!! 2nd... I have a wizard which I ordered from grayson hobby in Georgia, im in TX, cost 20 bucks more, but they make sure all screws are tight, vtx works, cam works, it flys ect.... but they also tune it, enabling all three flight modes, and turn airmode on. With that said, i have litterly had Zero issues with mine besides i broke my vtx due to a crash my 1st flight which is common, but ordered an upgrade with my wizard and been good since. all that on 3s lipos.. which ive flown 40-50 batts so far..... read many people saying not to run 4s, but the manufacturer states the 20a ecs can handle 2-4s batts , therefore I expect it to do just that. With alllll that said.... im excited bout the 4s batts which i get in 2 days, and I LOVE my wizard !!!!! 1st quad and no regrets what so ever.

    Great video, just one thought. A very important thing you may mention and not do in a video for most likely beginners, when configuring the quad with battery connected DO REMOVE ALL PROPS. That's dangerous particularly for beginners.

    Also carbon fiber blocks radio waves unlike fiberglass. I would have liked to see how short the range would be with the antenna stuffed into the isolation box. In racing we use a lot of CF and if it’s bear it conducts electricity. It’s a special material for sure. Strong and light. Can’t believe they put them there. Definitely didn’t put any thought into those. Other wise it looks like a great starter for fpv. I have been fpv my Tello with a controller and vr goggles for my phone, lol. Sure is fun but I want that speed and acceleration. Keep it up 👍.

    • @Dmn0PT
      @Dmn0PT 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      All Things M3 it’s a good way to transport them from China. That way they won’t brake but ofc you should change the position

  • @Big_Red_Wade
    @Big_Red_Wade 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Run a decent thickness zip tie off the arms hold the radio receiver antennas along side them. Then use heat shrink to slide over both antenna and zip tie and shrink together. Also run the zip tie on the bottom of the arm and then after you have done all that put double sided tape on the bottom over ziptie that goes around the arm for landing protection. Ps when I say off the arm I mean horizontally pointing forward or backwards that’s up to you. So antannas will run the same direction as the bottom plate

    Your prop cut the ESC. I tape broken prop blades over mine for that reason. Love my Wizard, zero issues with frame. I changed VTX, Motors, Camera and added a buzzer. It runs great on 4s w Emax red bottoms, no ESC issues.

      there is a new version but it is 50 dollar more than the wizard x220. If you just getting into fpv miniquad but too lazy or have no soldering expirience, the wizard x220s is a great miniquad to start with but if you are not sure about spending more money and the more power it have compare with the x220 version, the eachine wizard x220 is a also a great fpv quad.You can buy it at banggood. Chears.

  • @Paintplayer1
    @Paintplayer1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm thinking about getting this for my first quad, as I understand it's possible to limit the power through programming so it's not as touchy right away. I was also really glad to have you crash (there's no good way of saying that) because I know I'll do that a fair amount, especially when just starting out.

      I'd recommend to start small, light and cheap guys. It takes a while to get used to controls and fpv and you don't want to destroy it or hurt anyone with something like this. I started with one like this years ago and it was the most expensive mistake I made. Get like an emax beginner all in one kit or something similar and work your way up unless your already experienced 🍻

    When I fly mine I don't have that problem at all I suggest buying th bind and fly version and look at the video for beta flight on Banggood and buy better propellers mine worked fine but I can notice a difference better antenna and try to start in horizon mode

  • @johnjenkins129
    @johnjenkins129 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    hey Dustin, the same exact thing happened to mine on 4S and it's got everything to do with those cheap King Kong propellers. at least yours didn't Terror your Triumph fpv antenna off by actually ripping the VTX SMA connector out of it 90 degree coupling. I am so glad that the only one this happened to although I do not wish you any problems whatsoever. I purchased some dial prop t5040 V2 and it has flown like a dream every since although I did upgrade the firmware to the latest version of betaflight. it's also tuned four 3s so you might want to do a little tweaking and recalibrate the speed controls and accelerometer and add your 3 flight modes to the three position switch on Channel 6. those propellers are just too stiff and brittle!!! they literally chirp and say Cheep Cheep Cheep Cheep Cheep:).
    other than putting some longer screws in the standoff which actually comes in the kit most of the time and possibly changing out the VTX so your antenna points straight out the back rather than makes that turn pointing straight up it is without a doubt the best 220 sized race quad on the market for the money without a shadow of a doubt!!! that top plate also is just too thin and you cannot get by without the side plates unless you get a thicker top plate but you figured most of this out immediately in this video from what I can tell even though I didn't have a chance to watch the entire thing. the standoffs are just not made out of as strong of aluminum as some of the higher priced kits and the screws themselves are also softer so it's just a really good idea to put longer screws in at least if you don't want to purchase new standoffs and new screws. one of the best upgrades I have made thus far other than the props and the Triumph antenna + 25200 + 600 digital readout VTX has been the Runcam Swift 2 camera with the rotor Riot wide-angle GoPro 2 lens!!!. I just called the rest of your video or the most important part where you just pretty much figured out everything I just said LOL:)
    happy flying man and excellent review as always!!!!!!!

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wouldn't say I got a lemon. I'm sure you paid a higher price for the shop tuning it prior to sale. They have probably done everything and more I mentioned in this video before handing it over to you. My crazy flying is mostly to blame for the big crash at the end but it held up well. It's just the nature of the hobby to crash and fix. The ESC burning seemed reasonable since I hit the fence so hard but the stock purple props disintegrating on 4S is a known issue.

    Did you lose video feed when it dropped from the air? If so I would put money on the battery came off and then hit the props. I've had a gopro fall off with a lose strap and hit the props did the same thing.

    • @DustinDunnill

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +16by80 It just registered to me that you probably meant in the first FPV test. I had FPV until it hit the ground. You can see the RunCam 2 feed seemed angled correctly until the pop of the props so I don't think it was the cam coming off in air. I think we would have seen the RunCam video move abruptly if it came loose and hit the props.

    Hey Dustin, great informative video. I just ordered this drone pre-built, and I was just wondering about a couple of things (Sorry in advance if these are super noob questions, I don't know much about drones yet haha). How do you know if certain props will fit and work on the drone, like what size do they need to be? And what antenna would you recommend for the drone for better connection to the goggles? (And do you need a different VTX or anything to replace the antenna or are they plug and play? Lastly, can you just swap out the motors with pretty much any other ones?Thanks!!

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Landon. 5inch racing propellers all have the same format hole dimensions for fit so you can use any you want. Use an RHCP or LHCP (right/left hand circular polorized) antenna for best results and make sure you have the same on both goggles and the drone. The antenna will screw into existing mount just make sure on the male or female center pin of connection is correct. Have fun and Happy Holidays 👍👍

I set up my switches on my transmitter and made corresponding modes in betaflight. I also made sure to enable serial rx on uart3 and change to ibus in betaflight. When I plug in my quad and turn on the tx, it shows that the rx is connected to the tx, but when I flip the arm switch, nothing happens. Also, in betaflight I can not get the stick inputs to move. It's like my tx is connected, but has no control. Any ideas?

  • @agoogleuser7784
    @agoogleuser7784 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you look at the prop on the burnt esc arm you can see it bent down towards the esc... my guess is that it came around when you were still armed and slashed the esc making it short. I have one and have never had an esc burn up even on 4s but mine did fly away a week ago even with a failsafe setting through betaflight haha no idea what happened.

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great observation! I think you may be right. Looks like the prop was bent down just enouph for a short while to cut into the quad side esc power leads and short it. Very possible. Sorry about your fly away.. Maybe bad interference?

    So, I bought this drone from Banggood. It shows up a month plus after buying it. I set it up, everything works well, but it won’t accept firmware (it came with none installed). I do everything I can to make it work for over a week, with no luck. I send it back to China, which cost a hundred usd. Banggood holds the package for 180 days, and then sends it BACK, with no refund. I got it back yesterday, and ordered a fc for the x220S, (from Amazon) and am waiting for it to arrive. Overall, this experience was really infuriating, and now I’m out over 300 usd. Please keep this in mind nest time you’re looking at cheap kwads on Banggood. Sorry for the long comment.
