They have some run on hydrogen sim to these , and hovers for up 14 hours, the police have them and 2000 is no where close to the 240k they pay to watch while people rob atms behind them, so, question is if they watching one spot 3 or more drones with LiDAR radar , and thermal why not add a cam to each side and one for rear and watch while thieves see them in sky looking one way break into things behind them, the extra cams may take some screen room but for 240k and your being misled by idiots over not being able 3 on 1 someone years ago and holding grudges , 36k gone while 3 drones 6 times more than bank lost could panned right and stopped money from being taken, or where they looking out for the one broke into them? It’s 50/50 from what all I’ve seen
This is an absolutely fantastic aircraft / drone. Think I have to buy one. Since I'm an airplane pilot most of the time (for 35 years) this is exactly what I need. Thank you for sharing your videos. Best Regads Geir Norway
I'm working on buying a complete setup. I'm a beginner but this Is the best product I've found for the money. Drones and planes combined with 1 hour flight time dominates the competition.
This is one of the coolest planes you've reviewed, Captain! I can definitely see myself owning this if I had money to spend on hobby items right now. I can't afford to buy anything that expensive, but I'm glad you do these review videos for those of us sitting on the fence or who are priced out.
This is by far the very best plane /drone configuration to date and one I’m very interested in getting. I can’t wait to see the next video of it in action. Thanks Captain
This one looks better than the SWAN K1 PRO. Can you make a comparison video. Either at your desk or flying. From the looks of it this ZMO one seems a bit more refined and you can actually fly it like a quad, or tri as the case may be.
Finally, something within the right price range that seems much more advanced than the more expensive VTOL's. Seems extremely stable. It is now on my radar. Thanks.
@@E-sk8Fr Yes - was just thinking I wonder if something similar is available cheaper - then the first comment is about it being in the "right price range"
@@phljns Something similar is NOT available for cheaper. For people that actually understand how difficult it is to bring a new product to market in this field, this is a great price for a new take on VTOLs
I love this one Cap but with my salary I will continue dreaming lol dwl. Question though is the return to home terrible on it or was it affected by the cold that was the only negative for me. Keep them coming Cap.
I LOVE this thing! My dream is to get a Mavic Air 2 or 2S so I'll never see one of these but it's nice to dream! This would be so fun to fly. So fast and awesome! I bet the range is amazing too. Thanks for posting.
It's cool but the price!!! It's a plane with 3motors and a flight controller! (Ok the tilting stuff take some work to put together but it's all pretty standard stuff with a arduplane compatible controller) If you take any plane and put that electronic in it can be built for way less... My first thought i might buy it instead of build... Then NO... Hope this will make some more manufacturer do similar things.
It is pricey, but the cool factor is off the hook! Next evolution will be to have a gimble for the go pro and transmission of that signal. 60 minutes of flight time is fantastic.
Really appreciate what you did there,all the preps/harsh weather etc yet still make awesome video. Respect that sir. And most important of all, i enjoyed watching your content.
Great review! As much as I love this plane, I think right now there's just a little too much "wrong" with it, especially at its current price point. Why does it want to land itself after a RTH? And why does it do that 100 meters away from the take off point? I think it should be much more precise, I can live with it being 10 meters off but not 100 meters. Also, when it's more or less returned to the take off point, I think it should stay there and loiter at a decent altitude in hover mode so you have the choice to land it yourself. It should not initiate an autolanding unless you tell it so or if the battery runs out of juice. What good is it if the plane autolands 100 meters away from you in the trees or on a road? I also read that you can't set a RTH altitude. According to a forum website, the plane is set to RTH at an altitude of about 30 meters. That's way too low i.m.o. and there should be an option to change it. I also read early customers experienced malfunctioning servos and a fried FC board. That's not good. Apart from that, I'm just dying to get this thing. I do hope they'll sort out the issues and bring this into a good finished product. I also hope we can increase flighttime with a bigger battery cause I don't see 60 minutes happening with this one.
Sorry I couldn't finish the video as I had to look away a few times due to virtego!! Bothers me that I can't do fpv, so I'll just have to stick with my Evo. Nice plane for those who have no visual problems.
Was looking to get this - then found that the manual provides no info on using your own Tx with this unit. The BNF it refers to - I think that that's for DJI controllers - not sure - there's just no documentation.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Not sure what you meant ... I use that DJI FPV (and 3 air units) on my quads, as well as on one ground unit - but I control them all with a TX16S Tx. Not with the DJI FPV Tx. The DJI Tx doesn't do the things I like a Tx to do. Otherwise - this ZMO VTOL looks fascinating. (But before I get one - I'd have to know how to swap in my CRSF Rx and set it up - otherwise - it's sold as a finished product - and that's not enough hobby in it for me - I'd fly it once, and put it away.)
You make me both happy and sad, because that's the same concept I'm going to apply to a remote control plane. But I think this is something that is indeed more joyous than sad. i like it, great job mate. 👍👍
That thing looks so cool. Looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of these VTOL’s coming out in the market. Hopefully they can make one in a mini-style version, that would be fun. Nice video Steve. 👍🏻
@@nancyomphobby3540 Hi, I did not know at all. I just said that “hopefully, you would make a mini-style version” That’s great news if you’ll have a mini style version of this VTOL. 👍🏻
That music isn't intense enough. You need a cape. I purchased a $125 fpv foam plane with the connectors fixed into the wing and body... so just attach the wind and the connection is made. I bet this thing is upwards of $1700 and that connection cable will last about 20 flights. Nice plane/drone. I love it
Отличное видео, мастер полёта, конструктор класс.... Черт возьми. Стив, добавьте маленький ракетный двигатель, тогда для набора высоты вы экономите энергию на время подъёма.
Great concept, perhaps they could develop an updated GPS calibration routine. The Hokie Pokie system they have going on seems kinda silly and certainly dated. It's a little thing, but the higher the price goes up, the more "little things" start to matter. 💯
I don't have words... The ZMO VTOL FPV from OMPHOBBY is the most beautiful RC thing I have ever seen in my 2 years RC experience... It looks veryy beautiful and durable, looks like it can easily survive after crashing into snow. This VTOL looks really stable in drone mode even in wind, irrespsctive of its bulky fuselage. It flies just like a mythical aircraft and is like a VTOL of dreams... It does have all the amazing and important features to get started including RTH, 40 KM max range, 120 Kilometre/hour+ max speed, HD FPV Transmission in DJI FPV goggles and it is also really powerful with that 5100 mAh battery, surpassing the DJI Mavic 3's battery power by 100 mAh! I can write a really long comment on this one for sure but I should stop in sometime now, lol. It costs only around 2,000 dollars including everything in RTF kit. That is not very costly! I think that many more competitors will be there in VTOL hobby field/category! I am stunned after seeing these new VTOLs like Swan K1 Pro and ZMO! Looking *veryyy muchhh* forward to see new beautiful VTOLs with more breathtaking features like Omni directional Obstacle Avoidance and 3 axis Gimbal-ized inbuilt cameras!!!
Now my question to you is Captain 🧑✈️ Drone, is this the RTF version? In other words do I need to buy anything extra? Please reply ASAP! Thanks 🙏 for all you do and please keep flying.
The ZMO is a plane (with all the features of a plane). The swan is a drone with no plane features. The ZMO does not use an app and it does not have a display. The Swan can come with a remote with a display and it runs on an App.
Very cool RC plane. I was wondering (not necessarily for this plane) if it would be possible to have the 3rd, rear, motor/propeller all the way in the back. Once it transitions to horizontal flight have that motor flip back and run in reverse, yes I know it's a more complex brushless control. That could allow faster forward speed or at least increase efficiency (less vertical prop/motor drag). Perhaps that is more important on a larger vehicle.
Please would tell us the control and video ranges ? I have searched online, but I cannot find any statement of these in specifications. Can you give a link to the manufacturer's website ?
I’ve been building drones since 2012 and this is the coolest thing in FPV I’ve seen since! Incredible!

Just ordered mine a few days ago. Can’t wait for it to arrive , by far this is the best video here on TH-cam about the ZMO . Very nice job Steve !
Thanks. It is certainly a blast to fly.
How was it?
You like it ?
This thing is fun to fly, if you hit RTH at a distance away from you it will return in airplane mode and then switch to vertical flight.
This is one of the coolest planes you've reviewed, Captain! I can definitely see myself owning this if I had money to spend on hobby items right now. I can't afford to buy anything that expensive, but I'm glad you do these review videos for those of us sitting on the fence or who are priced out.

Awesome craft! Never lose that closing song, I look forward to it every video!
Great machine Steve............that ZMO is certainly different, thankyou Sir
Your from Ottawa, right? Would you show what's going on with one of your drone, please?

It is certainly not a precision return to home, but it does come back to your general location.
Damn I gotta have 1 of these too !!! Stupid youtube!!
One of the coolest RC's I've seen you review! Bravo!

Next evolution will be to have a gimble for the go pro and transmission of that signal.
60 minutes of flight time is fantastic.
Or a 360° camera
I’ve always wondered how a tricopter would fly as a plane. This thing is very cool! Now I want to build one.
why not buy one directly :)
i wonder if its a little bit heavy or very light
Just catching up on all your videos but this is my cool as hell, thanks for the video Captain! Loved it!
That looks too good! Thanks Captain

Nice little gadget.... You can keep an eye on those crazy truck drivers out there ;)
Awesome drone! Way better than a parrot disco, I hope dji takes notice and starts making VTOL drones in the future.
It would be cool if Autel would make a consumer version of a scaled-down Dragonfish.
This is awesome! Probably could satisfy the rc flyer and drone enthusiast at the same time 👍🏽

Winter warrior Steve 👍👍
but the real question is... is it worth $2000?
Depends how you use it
If you're still interested, there's a printable VTOL similar to this by Flightory that you can build with DIY components.
U can print your own for 500

i flew a couple of the cheap vtol they were so much fun but of course not durable . this looks so cool
Very very cool. Thanks for the demo. (BTW, you made me remember why I live in Arizona).
WOW! Amazing! But where is the pitot tube? Doesn't the VTOL need the airspeed to transition?
Nope, you are thinking of another company
Does it have an acro mode? Because if not, the e-flite convergence is superior imo.
So if I understand this correctly, you would have to provide a camera and controller?
The website shows you the packages and what is included
did not you see it in the movie terminator???
Hello, between ZMO and swan, which one do you think is best? Thank you Marco do Brasil
The ZMO is a plane (with all the features of a plane). The swan is a drone with no plane features. The ZMO does not use an app and it does not have a display. The Swan can come with a remote with a display and it runs on an App.
Excellent product. Is it possible to connect to a phone rather than the FPV system? That would make life easier in the UK
There is no App, so no phone.
Very cool RC plane. I was wondering (not necessarily for this plane) if it would be possible to have the 3rd, rear, motor/propeller all the way in the back. Once it transitions to horizontal flight have that motor flip back and run in reverse, yes I know it's a more complex brushless control.

That is AWESOME!! and I bet expensive.. Would really appreciate something like this 😊😊
It's $900. Which is cheaper then I thought
Not really $900. That's the base bnf unit
Hello, Where I can buy engines on the wings? What are these wing folding motors?
Please would tell us the control and video ranges ? I have searched online, but I cannot find any statement of these in specifications. Can you give a link to the manufacturer's website ?
