Hi Dave, After those rigs shipped with tune for 6s only? What about 4s li-ion? Are those coming as second pid map? Maybe you could upload a diff dump of your settings for li-ion setup?
For an engineer that is not really interested in marketing, you sure have a slick looking brand. All the best with the new venture and glad to see you leading the innovation
Thank you! :-D Don't get me wrong I do care about looks and design. I just don't care about pretending to have some super special stuff no one else has while quietly getting it from the same suppliers as all the other brands....
Hi Dave. Unfortunately I lost video and crashed my Rekon 5. The tpu fpv cam/GoPro mount broke in half. Where could I get a replacement please? Thanks 👍🏻
I received my Rekon 5. The interlocking arms are not very tight and there is a slight wiggle. Do I need to just re-tighten the red nuts or should I place some material in the interlock area to make the fit tighter ?
Love the rekon 5 have it by my self but I have a GoPro 11 mini and would love to see south a forward GoPro mount fore the GoPro 11 mine as you have fore the naked GoPro
Nice one Dave! This is so well done and hopefully I get to try this out at some point - might pick one up and do a review! Brilliant job and an inspiration as always
I started flying FPV with 6S so I mainly have 6S batteries but if I'm going to be building/buying li-ions anyways, would you recommend going with the 4S or 6S version? I will be doing some mountain surfing with a decased Hero 8 and would like the longest flight time possible. I don't need lots of power for freestyle/punchouts. Thanks!
I’m loving mine. I highly recommend it. It’s not just a long range. Like Dave mentioned It handles freestyle with a full size gopro like a champ! I posted a few videos ripping it 🤓
Im a big fan of your work and ive expected something like this. Congrats with this big step! Cant wait for one of the best in this hobby solutions, mounts and efficient quads!
wow, looks so cool!! I was wondering if I can use a 4s 1550mah lipo on the 4s version and if yes, then how much flight time will I get if I‘m easy on the throttle and cruise only, no freestyle or punchouts
First off, You're an absolute legend, thank you for making these drones a thing. I'm sure this drone will do amazingly!!! Next for the question: The flywoo explorer obviously would have a slightly longer flight time than this with just a lion battery, but would it still fly for longer with a naked GoPro type camera on top? I completely aknowlege that this would fly far better, but in terms of minutes in the air...
This is awesome, I will probably be picking one up! How much flight time do you get with the 6s 1300 mah batteries and carrying a naked gopro? And do you use those for long range flights or free style flights?
been getting back into flying, my last was a geprc mark3... really thinking about getting into express LRS and upping my range. does it still have pretty good freestyle performance? im not mr steele or anything, but i do like to flip around and hit gaps. i hate decisions! 😢
While we are all waiting for CNY to end(and restock to come in), I hope to see some long range flights on this with the 4s Li-ion pack :) Might be cool to see how it stacks up against the Flywoo explorer LR for long range. Cheers!
I did a live longe range flight with mine (on my channel), awesome 5" i did however failsafe over a river i dont think mine liked the antenna being mounted vertical.
I want one. I've had success limiting output for high kv motors in the past. What's your thoughts on getting the 3000kv and using "set motor_output_limit = 0.87" in cli?
Have you done much testing with slightly bigger motors? I've been seeing great results with 2203.5 and 2204. Especially when sub 250 isn't a requirement.
I seen Bot's vid and thought someone had ripped off your 5in Mini-Long-Range look, lol. CONGRATS on your own line, that's super super cool!! You do such an amazing job, designing, testing and refining your frames and quads. I've built and flown 2 of your frames, the 3in MLR and the Calimero 65mm 3D printed frame, I still have the 4in MLR in a box ready to build. I love the flight characteristics of the 3in MLR, she's one of my favorite rigs to fly. I look forward to seeing what REKON FPV will bring to the table in the future. Thanks for all the FPV AWESOME-NESS you've put out in the verse. HEELZ YEAH MAN, HAPPY FLYIN!!
Hey am planning to buy an FPV drone to mount my gopro on and I came across Rekon 5. I had a couple of doubts. How can i but the goggles and the controllers? And which ones do i buy that goes well with rekon 5?
How’s it going?? I’m about to buy a rekon 5 and I was just curious when I buy it straight from rekonfpv. will the Hglrc receiver bind with my 1000mw elrs jumper t pro. Or will I need to get the pnp version and solder a jumper elrs receiver. Please let me know thank you brother.
rekonfpv.com is unable to send any products, they do not even reply to emails. I ordered a rekon5 digital (in stock) on April 22nd and it hasn't shipped yet ...
Nice nice nice .... damn I just build myself with betafpv 2004 and ..... Bummmm your rekon released 😅 I need the T antenna mounting, is it shared on thingyverse?
I just bought from cncmadness. Wish he said something in the comments back earlier. And I want that camera pod with mount. Was going to do diversity crossfire and rear and vertical (fixed one on thingy)
Thursday is when mine will be here. I have a couple 3000mah batts that I used to use with my Hex and normal Explorer(before I lost both of them :(:(:( plus 2 more hex's lol.... either way.....the flywoo 3000mah li-ion that I have will be great with this right? so far I love anything you put out there...the Explorer was a bit under powered while the HEX was my first FPV drone and will always be my favorite! Thanks Dave!
Wish you added compass 🧭. And they did a lil lower kV try to get slightly lower flight times. I'm still about to order all 3.. and I have explorer lr and Dave c miniLR 5" already lmao.. 33mins 4S Li'ion repeatable flight time.. still need to tune it though.. and add arm braces
Beautiful rig! Now I can’t decide if I want to build the ummagawd ultralite or just buy this bnf. But I really wish I had the patience to start designing things again but the older I get the less patience I have lol. Think ima be a grumpy old man one of these days. Haha. 39 going on 70 some days as much as I’ve beat my body up over the years from sports, military and car racing. These wet and cold winters in Louisiana kill me. At least the sun is out today.
i really want to grab one of these up but i can not find one in the states anywhere... sold out on backorder everywhere.... i am not a fan of doing backorders
@@DaveCFPV Cool. I can offer a video about the drone on my channel too. If interested, you can reach me by email through my channel. As I can't seem to find any contact form on the shop page or your profile. :)
Congratulations! It's so great to see you bringing these things out under your own brand, I've been following you on thingiverse etc for ages and you deserve every success 👍
Hello Dave Can you recommend a battery size for the 6S model? 1050mah or 1300mah. Do I still have enough performance with the 1300mah battery? I want to use the 1300mah battery for the Nazgul5 too.
can you use 4s lipo on 6s version for longer flight time or is it too underpowered and is it still more efficient to use the 4s version? I have 12 4s 1500mah packs and may as well use them if I can so just wondering which version would be better for that battery. cheers.
Looks a fantastic product. Will you launch a BNF analogue with hybrid or tarsier fitted as it seems the camera opening at front will take a dual lense setup
How notchy the motors are? I bought NIN V2 Dave_C 1404 2750kv, they are very notchy. They fly great, don't get me wrong, but for my purpose they send a bit too much vibrations to the frame and "sing", produce noise I think attributable to the magnets. With different motors a high note in the noise disappears.
After flying my OG Charpu QAV210 for almost 6 years, it was time for a new drone. The Rekon 5 should be here today (4S Analog version w/no motors). I was reading that it could do up to a 4S 1800? So using a 1500 with a fullsize GoPro 7 shouldn't be a problem? BTW, gorgeous frame 🤙🏻
These are very good engineering choices, nice ! I was looking into building a drone with similar specs, but I don't see how it could be better than this one. I wish you the best for your company, keep improving your designs !
Really nice.... One question that no one has been able to answer about the hex... Why does the DJI version come with the F7, barometer and bluetooth but the analog version is just F4?
The DJI version absolutely needs the extra UART to connect the Vista without softserial. Also I believe they wanted to make the analogue version as cheap as possible for beginner / entry level markets
@@DaveCFPV I would buy one right now but want the extras that the F7 version has. The bluetooth and barometer especially. Plus the FC on the 4 inch had some problems with getting GPS satellites and with no barometer didn't hold it's altitude well I read but the digital hex didn't have those issues. I've sent the company inquiries but have not got an answer. Figured you might be able to help me out possibly. Thanks and keep them coming...
Hello Dave, I bought your Rekon 5 and am really excited about the Long Range Quad. I am currently testing Lion 4s 3000MAh VTC6 and wanted to ask how far you fly these batteries down, are 2.5V still Ok? Greetings Jens
Congrats, I saw a vid from Albert Kim on this drone this morning! I don't run HD, so wasn't too far up my alley, but glad to hear you will have analog and 6s. The CSRF antenna placement looks oddly placed, but understand some of the reasoning. Those arm nuts, seem a bit questionable based on AKs review. Never used hglrcs gps unit, but its probably just a re-badge. I would like to see that camera mount closer.
hey dave i have three orignal explorers and a new v2 with the green tpu and all the upgrades like mic blu tooth and f745 flight controller.... the first three i purchased all broke in the same spot on the carbonfiber bottom plate......can u send me in the direction on were to get some new bottom pates...i love the explorer and want to have all four airbourne i just was hoping i can buy the bottom plates cus new frames are 50dollars here in ontario canada ....thanks dave love ur products and love the youtube budddy thank u very much...
Hello Dave_C FPV, I bought this nice frame. Would it be possible to have an arm kit with M3 (16x19) motor mounts? Then i could reuse motor's i already have. Thanks
Congrats, looking forward to see more products from you!
👊👊🐻💪💪
Nice do u ship to Australia
Hi Dave,
After those rigs shipped with tune for 6s only? What about 4s li-ion? Are those coming as second pid map?

I’m a big fan of your designs Dave. I just bought a Flywoo Explorer LR. Thanks for all your great work in the hobby!
this is the ultimate drone in my opinion, been waiting so long for almost exactly this, thanks for creating it!
Hi Dave. Unfortunately I lost video and crashed my Rekon 5. The tpu fpv cam/GoPro mount broke in half. Where could I get a replacement please? Thanks 👍🏻

Congrats on Rekon FPV Dave! Quad looks awesome. HGLRC has really improved their qc over the past year. Lookin forward to more HGLRC collab stuff.
The components are indeed top notch. No comparison to the old HGLRC stuff
Love the rekon 5 have it by my self but I have a GoPro 11 mini and would love to see south a forward GoPro mount fore the GoPro 11 mine as you have fore the naked GoPro

Hell ya💪💪👊👊
Hi, ! With 6s version you say lion packs needs a different tune, But if we get 4s version , the lion pack would work nice out of the box?
That drone looks amazing
thank you!
Looks super nice! Where should I buy from if I want to avoid import tariffs to the EU?
Interesting that you switched from Flywoo to HGLRC. Have not had a good experience with the prior.
Should pronounce it (ree-con). That's the perfect name for a long range quad
I second this.
I third this
I Fourth This
Wee-con will be his 2" long ranger. :D
@@DT-gun hahaha
I’m loving mine. I highly recommend it. It’s not just a long range. Like Dave mentioned It handles freestyle with a full size gopro like a champ! I posted a few videos ripping it 🤓
how exactly long range is it ? How far off can it fly ?
What you prefer 4s or 6s? Dont know wht to buy... 🙄
Get 6s, it can still be used with 4s
Im a big fan of your work and ive expected something like this. Congrats with this big step! Cant wait for one of the best in this hobby solutions, mounts and efficient quads!
I need to be able to tighten the arm bolts. I can use an allen wrench on top, but how do you secure the bottom to prevent it from rotating?
loving this? Maybe I missed it what are the flight times with this? On a LiOn 3000mah 4s?
wow, looks so cool!! I was wondering if I can use a 4s 1550mah lipo on the 4s version and if yes, then how much flight time will I get if I‘m easy on the throttle and cruise only, no freestyle or punchouts
Great part, but what do you do about the jello? I see so many videos where people have problems with vibrations. What can you do here?
First off,
You're an absolute legend, thank you for making these drones a thing. I'm sure this drone will do amazingly!!!
Next for the question:

This is awesome, I will probably be picking one up!
How much flight time do you get with the 6s 1300 mah batteries and carrying a naked gopro? And do you use those for long range flights or free style flights?
Is there a particular li-ion pack you would recommend for the 4s version?
been getting back into flying, my last was a geprc mark3... really thinking about getting into express LRS and upping my range. does it still have pretty good freestyle performance? im not mr steele or anything, but i do like to flip around and hit gaps. i hate decisions! 😢
I apologize for the noob question but, can one use the DJI v2 goggles and controller with this drone?
Anywhere to find the original out of the box configuration diff? My backup is corrupted and I can't find it anywhere else.
Congrats on the release!
Have you considered 3s instead for those 3000kv? With 3x18650 would be pretty light overall
Hi Dave, can I fit a runcam hybrid in there? I’m not concerned about the board, but the camera itself
While we are all waiting for CNY to end(and restock to come in), I hope to see some long range flights on this with the 4s Li-ion pack :) Might be cool to see how it stacks up against the Flywoo explorer LR for long range. Cheers!
Awesome stuff! I hope to order one soon to be able to directly support the person behind these designs!
I did a live longe range flight with mine (on my channel), awesome 5" i did however failsafe over a river i dont think mine liked the antenna being mounted vertical.
That video was awesome! The vertical antenna has worked well for me at least. But failsafes are a mysterious thing...
Did the GPS failsafe kick in?
I want one. I've had success limiting output for high kv motors in the past. What's your thoughts on getting the 3000kv and using "set motor_output_limit = 0.87" in cli?
I hope Insta360 make a Go v2 without the 5 minute time limit because the 4K SMO is still a big air brake that limits range.
Have you done much testing with slightly bigger motors? I've been seeing great results with 2203.5 and 2204. Especially when sub 250 isn't a requirement.
We have some in the making that will be tested soon
Congrats Dave.

I really love the Recon 5. Is there going to be a DJI 03 Air Unit Version?
Congrats to this awesome long range setup. Looks like a great option for me too.
Proud to say that I have one of this built and it's really amazing. Really good job with the design. Congratulations and more power to you!
Congrats Dave. Website isn't clear on what comes with base frame though. What accessories do I need to add?
You are right it's not really clear. it should come with everything you see on the pictures. I'll ask the people taking care of it to update the site.
As soon as this video popped up I thought: Take my money! So I just ordered an RTF 🤩. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your designs.
What do you think of 6s 18650 packs? Just bought a rekon5 and am contemplating making a few for it
How’s it going?? I’m about to buy a rekon 5 and I was just curious when I buy it straight from rekonfpv. will the Hglrc receiver bind with my 1000mw elrs jumper t pro. Or will I need to get the pnp version and solder a jumper elrs receiver. Please let me know thank you brother.

got any extra hex's or explorers send them my way :)
Hey

Are there castom pids and settings for it?
What battery with NO gopro would give the most flight time?
Congrats, Dave! Fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looks really nice great design thank u for showing us.
thank you!
Which is quieter between this and the explorer 4"? And could they take 6-blade props?

looks as a drone I want in the future.. :D
only issue is the import fee. makes the drone up towards 500-600 $. which is a little much.
Hi dave! I’m wondering if you happen to have a 6” version of this frame. Love the design man! 👍

Love that immortal T mount, very clever. Wish I had a 3d printer, would like to use that on my quads
Yea.
How notchy the motors are? I bought NIN V2 Dave_C 1404 2750kv, they are very notchy. They fly great, don't get me wrong, but for my purpose they send a bit too much vibrations to the frame and "sing", produce noise I think attributable to the magnets.

What is the all-up weight? (with/with out the naked go pro?)
fpv motor mount would have atleast two mount size options. Example for 5 inch fpv is 12*12 & 16&16.

How to tune it?
Can i use 2 blade props for this copter?
