Thanks a lot for watching! I did cover the gist at 24:11, but the video just got too long to to a proper tutorial. I will try to do that soon, but in the meantime, here is Oscar Liang's excellent blog post on how to set up telemetry logging in your radio, i.e., saving GPS coordinates on to an SD card. oscarliang.com/log-telemetry/ I also recommend displaying GPS coordinates on a screen in your radio, that way you have it available immediately when you are on top of a mountain with no computer!
I would highly recommend logging GPS telemetry data to your SD card, and ideally displaying it on a screen in your radio... I learned that lesson the hard way when my quad went down... I only had GPS in my OSD but the quad had drifted a ways from the moment I lost video so I never did find it : ( Like I mentioned in the video, now I literally do lost drone drills... I just grap the GPS from my radio and type it into Google Maps to make sure all is good, because if I ever do need them, I will probably be far from a computer and in a bad way! @@lomtikster
Awesome, I'm really enjoying mine too! What batteries are you using? I'm using my 5" batteries connected in parallel to give me lipos between 3,000-3,600 mah and li-ion between 3,000-5,000 mah but I really want to get GEPRC's 8,000 li-ion pack!
It's a great quad, you'll love it and get some super long flights, just make sure you get some larger 63 batteries, 2000-4000 lipo or 4000-8000 li-ion👌
Another good video would be about installing GPS units on other pre-built drones that dont have these out of the box like Cinebot etc. I carry Cinebot as a backup drone but hesitant to send it out further or over the water. There are not many easy instructional videos out there, like which 3D printed GPS holder options exist that you can adapt, etc.
Great idea, I also like to have GPS units on just about all my quads. They are cheap and easy to setup so why not??? If you failsafe over water that would be the difference between an easy recovery or losing your drone. GPS installation on the cinebot is very easy, you just need a spare UART and 5v pad on your FC and then set it up in Betaflight. I recommend the GEPRC M10 GPS units, they work great and are not too expensive bit.ly/GEPM10 The iFlight GPS units are also great but they are much more $$.
The o3 air unit only uses 1 antenna, but this kit uses two. Where does the other antenna hook up too? If you pointed this out in the video, sorry i didnt see it. I ordered this frame and cant wait to build it! Im also going to be using a mamba stack, and i already have the same emax motors that you are using, but i decided to go with the fpvcycle 2809 1300kv, since they almost weigh the same!! I dont know how they did it. Going to be using a gopro 10 bones, and 7 inch props. I ordered the gemfan 7035 carbon nylon props that are favorited right now or was. Hope they work ok as a 7.5. Also going to be using 3300mah 6s HRB lipos. Thank you for this very informative and excellent video! Subbed.
Glad you figured that out! I Your build sounds amazing, those fpv cycle motors are a great choice for a 7.5".

@@beantron Sorry I read that wrong, the GPS mount, that makes more sense, there is a ton of flex in mine.

Hey Filipe, thanks for watching! Yes I'm running the M10 GPS and sop far so good - it gets sats super quick and I have had no problems. I'm running PID loop at 8khz and so far so good!
Awesome video. I have the MOZ 7 frame kit. My M2x7 screws don't seem long enough to lock down the XT60. Did you use the M2X7 screws or something different?
Really, they aren't long enough? Sorry for the dumb question, I mean, is it just really difficult to get them to thread in or do they literally not have enough threads? Honestly I can't remember but I will have a look at my frame kit.. I did have this problem with the Lumineer QAV SE frame, they included screws they were not long enough, and I had to grab some longer screws from a screw kit, so it does happen.
Hey man...appreciate all your great videos. I'm very curious, do you run 1 watt of power when you do 1-2 mile flights? I'm running crossfire on a MOZ7 with a radio master and external module. I'm assuming the more power the better assuming you have enough battery life on your transmitter? Thanks, and I appreciate you time!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! Yes, I am running 1w when flying medium or long range, basically anything over 1km or where I couldn't get the quad back, like over water. Honestly, 500 or 250 milliwatts is probably plenty, bc unless you're in an area with lots of interface, it will be your video range that limits you, but like you said, my feeling is that as long as you have the battery in your transmitter, might as well fly a higher output power just to be safe!
Hey, thanks for watching! I got a pack of clear heat shrink on Amazon, super useful for receivers and whatnot (amzn.to/48LZHQ3) and the racewire came from RaceDay Quads. It became necessary because the leads on my Emax EcoII Motors were too short for the rear arms...
Hey Gregory, thanks for watching! Side panels are a pretty new thing, most drones have not had them so those hot electronics are free to breathe. With the trend towards side panels to make drones look cleaner (and more durable), air ducts are definitely required to allow those hot VTX's to breathe!
If you could only have one of these, which would be the best option? Moz 7 vs Crocodile7 vs Chimera 7 bind n fly with 03 & crossfire for coastal cruising?
That's a tough decision because they are all great, but I would go Croc7 BNF. It is a tad lighter and more efficient than the Moz7 and has slightly smaller motors but will still have loads of power and longer flight times. The Chimera is also a solid choice, but my opinion is that GepRC's electronics are higher quality and have a lower failure rate.
Yes, there definitely is. You could easily install the original air unit with double-sided tape and zip ties. However, you would have to remove the side plates because the original Air Unit is wider than the O3, so you have to decided how important those are to you. They do look very cool, any maybe they do keep your electronics cleaner, but from a performance perspective the drone will fly without that weight and they are not necessary at all.
really great video. But there is a small error in it. When you indicate that a 15cm replacement O3 coaxial cable should be enough, this is incorrect. The standard O3 coaxial cable listed as 115mm in the DJI specs is actually what they sell as a 15cm cable when measured stretched tip-to-tip. So you need to get either the 17cm or the 20cm replacement cable. I found out the hard way, when I ordered a replacement 15cm cable.
Hi, thanks a lot for point that out, I'm really sorry if I got that wrong and it caused you to buy the wrong cable! I didn't know that the length includes the connectors.... hopefully that 15cm (or 115mm) cable will be useful in another build? I had bought a pair of the 20cm cables to have on hand (I live in South America and shipping takes a month) and there is plenty of extra so I assumed the shorter one would fit. Nothing worse than sitting down to build and finding out your components aren't compatible. Hope your build is going well, aside from that!
@@bdmdphd I got a 17cm as well and it`s too short. It is just a touch longer than the original DJI. Seems it depends from where you buy it. So I recommend to go for the 20cm directly.
Hey, I haven't gone out farther than 2.5 km with this drone because that's my line of site limit (I have two friends located at strategic places as spotters) but this VTX will definitely go much farther, if you have better antennas and a better module in your goggles.
Actually neither, the Moz7 frame actually comes with a custom aluminum mount that acts as a heatsink. It's a super premium frame and that's one of the details that justifies that $$$ 😁
I think those motors would do great but you would probably want to go a tad higher in KV for 4s (these also come in 1500kv and 1700kv). I suppose 1300kv would work on 4s, especially if you could manage 7.5" props, and if your build is super lightweight, but I would still go 1500kv. Remember, you can also step down in KV with a motor output limit in Betaflight, but you can't go up in kv!
Hey there Steve, that's awesome you took the dive into iNav, this Moz7 would be a perfect candidate for iNav, I haven't set it up yet but I am seriously tempted. How does your SpeedyBee5 fly on iNav?
Hey! I'm using a Diatone F7 4th gen stack with a 65a ESC. I love my Diatone stacks and I have had great luck with them, highly recommended! If you want to save a few bucks, GEPRC has a new line of "Taker" stacks which are very affordable, and now fully supported in Betaflight 👍
whats your amperage scale on the power and battery tabs? my moz7 still beeping on 24.5 to 20v as low battery... i fly with 1500mah 6S its something disconfigurated on my board! thankssss!
Hey there! If your drone is beeping at that voltage it's probably another alarm that's doing it. Do you actually see the flashing "low battery" warning in your OSD? If not, maybe check which things trigger the buzzer/alram in the config tab? I have mine set to low voltage at 3.0 and min voltage at 2.8 because I fly li-ion packs along with my lipo packs. If you do that, just remember to land or be home at 3.5v when flying lipos! Good luck!
Hey there, sorry I didn't respond, I never saw this. I measure 5 and 3/4" from TPU to TPU, so if you are using the GoPro mount they may not fit. If you remove the GoPro mount, yea, loads of space. You could also use this battery mount to hold two batteries, it works great for me on my GepRC Mark4, which has much more limited space... www.thingiverse.com/thing:4631232
@@LoveeSkatee That's awesome, the Chimera looks great. FYI that battery mount .stl file I mentioned in my last message was originally designed for the Chimera 7 for running two batteries side by side, just in case it comes in handy!
Thank You for the content. If the antennas that Geprc provides on the bnf limits your range because of wrong polarization, did you change your antennas? If so,what did you choose? Aloha
Hey Chris, Aloha from the Ecuadorian Andes! I have a Lumenier "AXII Duality" antenna on the way, they were on backorder for forever but now are in stock, here's a link if you want to check them out bit.ly/LumO3 If you want to try one, grab it quick, GetFPV told me they are likely to be out of stock again soon. To clarify, the stock antennas do give you some very impressive range with the O3 system, it's not like it's unflyable or anything, it just isn't as good as it COULD be with antennas made specifically for the O3....Also, if you are using older goggles (V1 or V2) then just stick to the stock antennas, but these should give you better range with Goggles Integra or Goggles 2. If you do try them, let me know how it goes. I will be testing them myself, but they won't get to me here in Ecuador for another few weeks....
Did you check if the antennas are better than the stock antennas ? I’m building a build but I am confused if i should the flyfish rc antenna or the one you said or the stock lhcp antennas
Yes I did! Honestly, gps mate isn't so necessary with m10 gps because they get sats so quickly, but the integrated battery powered buzzer is nice to have too. Cool little gadget!
I get 40min with my geprc 7" Mk2, 2506/1250kv Samsung 6S Li-Ion pack, low pitch biblades in carbon, but as soon I strap on 3 blade props it drains. Freestyle ofc 😂 I'm building an old Mr Steele Alien, a Armattan Chameleon 5", Stinger's V2 lowrider 5", an Acrobat 4" with the original Lumenier 1405/14000kv (I think they are), motors from the very first mini quad, a long range Roma L4. Runcam split on the Acrobat and haven't decided on the HD can fir the KR 4". Aso building the GEPRC 7" long range and my TBS Discovery Pro 15" with gimbal and will put a PixHawk in the 15", maybe the 7", but I have a Foxeer F7 fie it. Have two Z84 and a TBS Caiprinha delta wing. My longest flight with the 840mm Z84 is 79.42km before I had ti go back. Looking forward to flying again
Wow, that sounds like an amazing fleet! The New GEPRC 2.4g Maten VTX caught my eye, even though I haven't flown analog in years, it may be fun to play with. I also noticed their Mark4 7" and 8" analog long-range drones are super cheap, like $240 and $260, at those prices I'm tempted to play with analog again!
The Moz7 is designed for the O3 with its heat sinks and side plates made specifically around the shape of the O3. That said, you can totally use the OG air unit by just leaving out the side plates and heatsinks. There are mounting holes, but OG air unit would just need double sided tape and zip ties. Don't forget you need a longer cam cable, and sma adapters if you want to use the included antenna mount...
Those motors are actually pretty efficient, especially the way I fly, nice and gentle for long flights with li-ion batteries, and a 50-55a would be plenty, but I has the 65a ESC around from last year's Black Friday from RDQ, so I used it! @@houdhoud313
I dont wanna be harsh,so at first thanks for the video which is very well made and at least included some information… but all in all quite generic and only pr material.. designed like a starship ? Rly ? It looks like every other 7 inch 😂 we will get some amazing flight times with the right battery ? Rly 😂😂😂 how amazing with what battery tested how many times ? 7 inch built to fly further but not one range test or info ? I dont expect you to have a lab and measure reception or consumption but like this its just another commercial for gep, at least some info regarding antenna mount and problems and building problems… although i heard so far that having much space is one big advantage of the moz7. I am searching for a 7inch with 20min flight time plus and perfect receptiom 7km plus… any feedback is highly appreciated 😊
Hey, no worries, I'm happy to have the feedback... re: Starship, yeah, I was being sarcastic 😁 Yes, it's a bunch of marketing BS, but it hardly looks like other 7" frames... GepRC is competing with the Chimera7, which also looks pretty badass. Did you see at 6:45 I compared the Moz7 with the Chimera 7, and mentioned you can leave out 60g worth of unnecessary parts like the feet and side-plates? You are right about the range tests... but I did include range/flight time tests in a later review on li-ion batteries: th-cam.com/video/qdu24dkpwbQ/w-d-xo.html I also upgraded the stock antennas with Lumenier Dualitiy antennas, which are much better, but I haven't had a chance to finish editing that one. This is not the best frame for maximum range or flight times unless you strip it down - it's just too heavy. If you want maximum flight times or range, consider the Foxeer Aura frame, or the new Johnny FPV 7" bit.ly/QAVFPV7, or if you are on a budget, the SourceOne 7". As for perfect reception, get yourself some Crossfire or ELRS and a DJI O3 and I highly recommend upgrading to the Lumenier Duality antennas... bit.ly/LumO3. They DO make a difference, and I will have a video up whenever I get the chance to finish editing it... This is a 30 minute video with loads of honest criticism, build tips, tips on setting up GPS, etc. I did receive the frame free (which I said) but I paid for over 80% of the build). Thanks for watching, I really do appreciate the feedback...
I hear you, and wow, that's an insane value for a 7". Those motors alone cost half that, assuming they are unbranded versions of the SPEEDX2 2806.5's. I also LOVE the MK4 frame.. sexy curves and lots of space to build with. I think you found a gem right there...
Funny enough I just had my iFlight chimera 7 pro decide to F off into oblivion. Pretty sure I’ll Never see it again. But I will for sure buy another 7 in quad!
If you fly analog, or if you want to DIY a digital vtx and save some $$$, the Mark4 7" and 8" are super cheap on GepRC right now... 7inch 👉 bit.ly/MK47 8 inch 👉 bit.ly/MK48@@hateforall4012
MOZ7 (original one) is a very good machine however, the "Black Spot " and very important if you want to make LR is the FC +ESC ... They OVERHEAT after 7 to 10 min after you powered on... They need a constant air breeze to cooled down wich is not a problem in flight but wich is a bit ennoying if you land unexpectedly a bit far ... roasted FC 😢 More over when you connect it to computer to make some adjustments this will bother a bit cause you'll have ~7 min to set up your FC if you don't have a constant fans on it ... About VTX you need to rework the side plate if you use a Walksnail (a little bit too large ) but ok 2809 MOTOR very good ! Powerfull responsive heavy but they have no O-ring to protect bearing... wich is on they commercial... (if my memory good enough)
Thanks for sharing your experience! I haven't had any overheating problems, but I usually fly at high altitudes in the Andes where it's pretty cool. If you continue to have heat problems, it seems like it would be best just to remove the side panels. It won't look as cool, but your electronics will be cooler and they are not really necessary anyway...
Yes, a 2600 6s would be a great match for a 7" long-range drone! YOu might also want to consider some of GEPRC's huge li-ion packs, they are a bit expensive but you will get much linger flight times!
With the right batteries you can fly this drone out several km without any problems. I changed the antenas to Lumenier diversity and I can easily get out 3km, I have no need to go further than that but the drone definitely could go further. Over a certain distance and you'll want a lighter drone for better efficiency I think.
No, not really. Seems like you could though, right? Problem is airtags use the network of iphones that are present in any given area to communicate their location, at least as far as I understand that tech. Any place you would be flying and crashing this drone wouldn't have all those bluetooth connections available, unless you lost your drone in a mall...
Right, a quad this heavy is always going to make a good amount of noise, I just meant the LED's attract even more attention, which some people may not want.
Yes, in general larger props are less noisy, with a deeper pitch, than smaller ones, but it does depend alot on the weight and how you fly. With a massive battery, this thing does make some noise! @@Spacecazeka

Hey, I haven't gone out farther than 2.5 km with this drone because that's my line of site limit (I have two friends located at strategic places as spotters) but this VTX will definitely go much farther, if you have better antennas and a better module in your goggles.
Um abraço do Brasil
@@camilompz5627 Gracias amigo 😁
Did you screw down the air unit or two sided tape?
Actually neither, the Moz7 frame actually comes with a custom aluminum mount that acts as a heatsink. It's a super premium frame and that's one of the details that justifies that $$$ 😁
@@colibrifpv yes I was asking if you taped or bolted the air unit to the heat sink. I just went ahead and bolted mine
Wonder how will the Eco II motors 1300kv would be on 4s 2,200 mah Batteries 7inch light build with naked gopro or session 5?
I think those motors would do great but you would probably want to go a tad higher in KV for 4s (these also come in 1500kv and 1700kv). I suppose 1300kv would work on 4s, especially if you could manage 7.5" props, and if your build is super lightweight, but I would still go 1500kv. Remember, you can also step down in KV with a motor output limit in Betaflight, but you can't go up in kv!
Hi, what kind of glasses do you use
Hey there, sorry for my slow response, I didn't see your comment. I use the DJI Integra goggles and they work great!
Great video. Do you have a preset for the tune that you used in Beta Flight?
Hey Brad! I used one of he. presets for 7" drones, I think it was the UAV preset, and it works great!
just built a speedybee 5 with inav rather than betaflight, this 7" ok with inav.
Hey there Steve, that's awesome you took the dive into iNav, this Moz7 would be a perfect candidate for iNav, I haven't set it up yet but I am seriously tempted. How does your SpeedyBee5 fly on iNav?
Wich FC stack are u using for this build?
Hey! I'm using a Diatone F7 4th gen stack with a 65a ESC. I love my Diatone stacks and I have had great luck with them, highly recommended! If you want to save a few bucks, GEPRC has a new line of "Taker" stacks which are very affordable, and now fully supported in Betaflight 👍
Great video, thank you. Did you apply GepRc CLI to this quad or is it flying well on stock BF?
I'm actually using a 7"!preset by UAVtech on Betaflight 4.4 and it's flying great!
@@colibrifpv thank you. I have used UAVTech presets in the past and it worked really good
I've also had great luck with them, he obviously knows what he's doing. Happy flying! @@jacek_kaczmarczyk
whats your amperage scale on the power and battery tabs? my moz7 still beeping on 24.5 to 20v as low battery... i fly with 1500mah 6S its something disconfigurated on my board! thankssss!
Hey there! If your drone is beeping at that voltage it's probably another alarm that's doing it. Do you actually see the flashing "low battery" warning in your OSD? If not, maybe check which things trigger the buzzer/alram in the config tab? I have mine set to low voltage at 3.0 and min voltage at 2.8 because I fly li-ion packs along with my lipo packs. If you do that, just remember to land or be home at 3.5v when flying lipos! Good luck!
How much space is there on the battery pad? Is there enough space to mount two 4000mah batteries in parallel (6 inches length combined)?
Hey there, sorry I didn't respond, I never saw this. I measure 5 and 3/4" from TPU to TPU, so if you are using the GoPro mount they may not fit. If you remove the GoPro mount, yea, loads of space. You could also use this battery mount to hold two batteries, it works great for me on my GepRC Mark4, which has much more limited space... www.thingiverse.com/thing:4631232
@@colibrifpv Thanks for the reply :) I went for the chimera 7 pro v2 in the end but the moz7 seems like a top choice too!
@@LoveeSkatee That's awesome, the Chimera looks great. FYI that battery mount .stl file I mentioned in my last message was originally designed for the Chimera 7 for running two batteries side by side, just in case it comes in handy!
@@colibrifpv Appreciate it very much man! 🙏🏼 saved the file in my „to print“ collection :)
Thank You for the content. If the antennas that Geprc provides on the bnf limits your range because of wrong polarization, did you change your antennas? If so,what did you choose?
Aloha
Hey Chris, Aloha from the Ecuadorian Andes! I have a Lumenier "AXII Duality" antenna on the way, they were on backorder for forever but now are in stock, here's a link if you want to check them out bit.ly/LumO3 If you want to try one, grab it quick, GetFPV told me they are likely to be out of stock again soon. To clarify, the stock antennas do give you some very impressive range with the O3 system, it's not like it's unflyable or anything, it just isn't as good as it COULD be with antennas made specifically for the O3....Also, if you are using older goggles (V1 or V2) then just stick to the stock antennas, but these should give you better range with Goggles Integra or Goggles 2. If you do try them, let me know how it goes. I will be testing them myself, but they won't get to me here in Ecuador for another few weeks....
Did you check if the antennas are better than the stock antennas ? I’m building a build but I am confused if i should the flyfish rc antenna or the one you said or the stock lhcp antennas
Thank You Sir!
Your'e welcome, thanks a lot for watching, really glad to have you here!
Did u connect the gps to the gps mate??
Yes I did! Honestly, gps mate isn't so necessary with m10 gps because they get sats so quickly, but the integrated battery powered buzzer is nice to have too. Cool little gadget!
Wow man wot a very well put togthere vid bro helped me alot man ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm really glad it helped, thanks very much for watching!
were did u get the antenna wire's at????
I'm pretty sure they came with the frame, but any FPV store sells them also 👍
I get 40min with my geprc 7" Mk2, 2506/1250kv Samsung 6S Li-Ion pack, low pitch biblades in carbon, but as soon I strap on 3 blade props it drains. Freestyle ofc 😂
I'm building an old Mr Steele Alien, a Armattan Chameleon 5", Stinger's V2 lowrider 5", an Acrobat 4" with the original Lumenier 1405/14000kv (I think they are), motors from the very first mini quad, a long range Roma L4. Runcam split on the Acrobat and haven't decided on the HD can fir the KR 4". Aso building the GEPRC 7" long range and my TBS Discovery Pro 15" with gimbal and will put a PixHawk in the 15", maybe the 7", but I have a Foxeer F7 fie it. Have two Z84 and a TBS Caiprinha delta wing. My longest flight with the 840mm Z84 is 79.42km before I had ti go back. Looking forward to flying again
Wow, that sounds like an amazing fleet! The New GEPRC 2.4g Maten VTX caught my eye, even though I haven't flown analog in years, it may be fun to play with. I also noticed their Mark4 7" and 8" analog long-range drones are super cheap, like $240 and $260, at those prices I'm tempted to play with analog again!
anyone know if the moz7 fits the OG air unit ?
The Moz7 is designed for the O3 with its heat sinks and side plates made specifically around the shape of the O3. That said, you can totally use the OG air unit by just leaving out the side plates and heatsinks. There are mounting holes, but OG air unit would just need double sided tape and zip ties. Don't forget you need a longer cam cable, and sma adapters if you want to use the included antenna mount...
@@colibrifpv ahh alright, Thanks
It would be great if you do video for GPS rescue !
Thanks for your feedback, I'll try to do a video on GPS rescue because it is super important! It has saved me from losing my drone countless times...
What FC/ESC did you run with this setup
Hey 👋 I used a Diatone Mamba MK4 with a 65a ESC
@@colibrifpv thanks! I guess that Emax does take a lot of amps
Those motors are actually pretty efficient, especially the way I fly, nice and gentle for long flights with li-ion batteries, and a 50-55a would be plenty, but I has the 65a ESC around from last year's Black Friday from RDQ, so I used it! @@houdhoud313
I dont wanna be harsh,so at first thanks for the video which is very well made and at least included some information… but all in all quite generic and only pr material.. designed like a starship ? Rly ? It looks like every other 7 inch 😂 we will get some amazing flight times with the right battery ? Rly 😂😂😂 how amazing with what battery tested how many times ? 7 inch built to fly further but not one range test or info ?
I dont expect you to have a lab and measure reception or consumption but like this its just another commercial for gep, at least some info regarding antenna mount and problems and building problems… although i heard so far that having much space is one big advantage of the moz7.
I am searching for a 7inch with 20min flight time plus and perfect receptiom 7km plus… any feedback is highly appreciated 😊
Hey, no worries, I'm happy to have the feedback...
re: Starship, yeah, I was being sarcastic 😁 Yes, it's a bunch of marketing BS, but it hardly looks like other 7" frames... GepRC is competing with the Chimera7, which also looks pretty badass. Did you see at 6:45 I compared the Moz7 with the Chimera 7, and mentioned you can leave out 60g worth of unnecessary parts like the feet and side-plates?
You are right about the range tests... but I did include range/flight time tests in a later review on li-ion batteries: th-cam.com/video/qdu24dkpwbQ/w-d-xo.html
I also upgraded the stock antennas with Lumenier Dualitiy antennas, which are much better, but I haven't had a chance to finish editing that one.
This is not the best frame for maximum range or flight times unless you strip it down - it's just too heavy.
If you want maximum flight times or range, consider the Foxeer Aura frame, or the new Johnny FPV 7" bit.ly/QAVFPV7, or if you are on a budget, the SourceOne 7".
As for perfect reception, get yourself some Crossfire or ELRS and a DJI O3 and I highly recommend upgrading to the Lumenier Duality antennas... bit.ly/LumO3. They DO make a difference, and I will have a video up whenever I get the chance to finish editing it...
This is a 30 minute video with loads of honest criticism, build tips, tips on setting up GPS, etc. I did receive the frame free (which I said) but I paid for over 80% of the build).
Thanks for watching, I really do appreciate the feedback...
@@colibrifpv thanks mate, you just earned yourself a sub 🙂
The Mark4 7 inch is still only $250. Can't beat that with a stick. I just can't send $1000 flying off into the wild blue yonder.
I hear you, and wow, that's an insane value for a 7". Those motors alone cost half that, assuming they are unbranded versions of the SPEEDX2 2806.5's. I also LOVE the MK4 frame.. sexy curves and lots of space to build with. I think you found a gem right there...
Funny enough I just had my iFlight chimera 7 pro decide to F off into oblivion. Pretty sure I’ll
Never see it again. But I will for sure buy another 7 in quad!
If you fly analog, or if you want to DIY a digital vtx and save some $$$, the Mark4 7" and 8" are super cheap on GepRC right now...
7inch 👉 bit.ly/MK47
8 inch 👉 bit.ly/MK48@@hateforall4012
Lat 2.7!! , blows my mind. I live at Lat 58.9 above you.
ha ha, crazy eh? 😁
if i choose to use the v2 goggles will i need to plug in my phone
No, that is something that DJI did with the Avata drone, FPC drones like this one will work without plugging in to your phone.
MOZ7 (original one) is a very good machine however, the "Black Spot " and very important if you want to make LR is the FC +ESC ...
They OVERHEAT after 7 to 10 min after you powered on...
They need a constant air breeze to cooled down wich is not a problem in flight but wich is a bit ennoying if you land unexpectedly a bit far ... roasted FC 😢
More over when you connect it to computer to make some adjustments this will bother a bit cause you'll have ~7 min to set up your FC if you don't have a constant fans on it ...
About VTX you need to rework the side plate if you use a Walksnail (a little bit too large ) but ok
2809 MOTOR very good ! Powerfull responsive heavy but they have no O-ring to protect bearing... wich is on they commercial... (if my memory good enough)
Thanks for sharing your experience! I haven't had any overheating problems, but I usually fly at high altitudes in the Andes where it's pretty cool. If you continue to have heat problems, it seems like it would be best just to remove the side panels. It won't look as cool, but your electronics will be cooler and they are not really necessary anyway...
@@colibrifpv this problem happen if you leave it waiting for ~10min when you fly it's Allright
if i were to use 2 6s 1300 mah batterys making it a 2600 mah battery then it should be ok to use
Yes, a 2600 6s would be a great match for a 7" long-range drone! YOu might also want to consider some of GEPRC's huge li-ion packs, they are a bit expensive but you will get much linger flight times!
i dont mean to pry but, why do you have a heart on your face
It's not a heart, it's a scar from an accident I had when I was a kid...
long range ...... hom many km ?
With the right batteries you can fly this drone out several km without any problems. I changed the antenas to Lumenier diversity and I can easily get out 3km, I have no need to go further than that but the drone definitely could go further. Over a certain distance and you'll want a lighter drone for better efficiency I think.
couldn't you just put an air tag on it
No, not really. Seems like you could though, right? Problem is airtags use the network of iphones that are present in any given area to communicate their location, at least as far as I understand that tech. Any place you would be flying and crashing this drone wouldn't have all those bluetooth connections available, unless you lost your drone in a mall...
stealth ? these motors are screaming when I fly over 40km/h
Right, a quad this heavy is always going to make a good amount of noise, I just meant the LED's attract even more attention, which some people may not want.
@@colibrifpv but it is still less noisy than a 5 inch right?
Yes, in general larger props are less noisy, with a deeper pitch, than smaller ones, but it does depend alot on the weight and how you fly. With a massive battery, this thing does make some noise! @@Spacecazeka
