Always enjoy watching you rip around your house!!!! Great Review And Great Flying!
Any plans to do a review on the HD version?! 😃
@@natec7398 Yes, I have one in hand. That should be out in the next week or so.
Hey Nick been flying this lil one since is was released. My thoughts the emax Avon props are great. Really good grip compared to bi blades. Battery I run a 520 2s. Sounds heavy but love it and it does have good float and over 5 min flights. This one well built takes lots of hits well from a beginner. Down side camera is poor but easy upgrade. Double check and perhaps lock right blue bolts have had a few vanish on me. Over all really good flyer that can do freestyle and race as well. In my experience if your new this is a great buy to cut your teeth on beyond the whoop world. Hope someone finds this post helpful.
Cheers!
I'm an owner here are my top 5 tips (musts)
#1. (3s 450mah tattu)
350mah was too floaty, and this gave 5-8min flight time.
#2. (Get rid of the TPU mount)
It swings into your props, use zip ties on arms.
#3. (Buckle strap)
Geprc strap is week, battery shifts and props hit battery leads.
#4. (Spare frame $18)
The stand offs strip out easy, and arms can break.
#5. (Zip tie that back Stanton off down)
This one is kinda hard to explain. Send a zip tie throuhg the frame where the antenna goes through and then throught the base plate. This makes the frame much stronger in rear, also use the slack pointing up to shrink wrap you antenna to.
One more thing. Putt xing 1103 motors on it. It's the cherry ontop to this amazing quad.
Getfpv has 1 left at this moment (frsky)
I swapped out for xing too, it's amazing. I use 300mah 3s and it flies for about 4 or 5 mins. I feel like 450 is way too heavy, but I like racing so maybe thats why I like the light weight lol
xing 1103 10000kv or 8000kv?
I have broke an arm from a failsafe about 50ft high over concrete!
The sweet spot for the Geprc Phantom is 3s 450hv GNB I get 4.5 sometimes 5 mins hard flying, that 350mah is just too small , no flight time and the voltage sag is terrible. Also the best props are probably the hq t65 but I thought about trying the t65 tri-blade, please try those if you have some I don't have any yet. Love your channel ❤️ great job Nick.
I think any micros falling from 50 feet onto concrete will break😂
I bought one about a year ago and have flown it (learned how to fly using this one) and wrecked it many times. Over the past year and buying new frames, stacks, and motors I now have 3 phantoms that are flyable and each are just a little different. My favorite one is the one with flywoo 35 amp esc/ mamaba 1103 8000kv/ 450 gnb or 550 rline/ the hg bi blade. To me that is the funniest back yard quad. I'm now think I'm ready to try a bigger quad and im looking for a 5 maybe 6 inch one.
Try 450mAh 2S with 2.5“ Avan Rush props!
It turns it into a true Phantom. So silent! The punch and grip these props provide will ensure enough power with 2S. I get about 4.5 min flight time. I also swapped the camera for a Runcam Nano 2.
This!!
So much this! I was initially testing it on 2S 300mAh (too short flight time) but switching to 2S 450mAh makes it a real stealth operator! Love it!
I might try the 1103 Flywoo Nin 7650KV motors, once I break the first motor on the phantom. Im also working on a HD camera mod. The phantom is a great platform and the power/weight ratio is very 5“ like.
with the stock props and 2s 450 i get around 6-7 minutes of flight time flying really fast, great quad :)
I'm running 3s 300mah gnb 80c things rips.I was running 2s 450mah gnb 80c but not enough power,ibuse that battery for cruising .Love the quad.
This has been my favorite quad to fly out of toothpick, 3 and 5 inch. I have crashed it for months before breaking the frame. Rebuilt it and still love flying it. Using 300 gnb. Really efficient too.
First, Thanks for the excellent video. I have owned a GEPRC Phantom for about 8 months now. I love it. For me this is an excellent quad that I highly recommend. The GEPRC Phantom is a great quad. So much so that, I purchased another one after losing the first one. The PID settings are all factory; No changes. The only "enhancements" are: HQProp T65mm 2.5 inch bi-blade props, changed VTX antenna, added a U.FL retainer plate on VTX connector, added a ViFly self powered buzzer, added landing pads and did some wire management. Since I have a bunch of 1S batteries, I made an adapter to run two paired 1S batteries. Mostly GNB 520 mAh and 600 mAh. With my style of flying, I get from 5 to 7 + minutes depending on the batteries. Even though I fly a lot, I don't land well; a good landing for me is one that doesn't break anything and I can easily retrieve. I crash or land hard basically all the time. This quad has been super durable. Nothing has broken. I have a flight video on TH-cam under "Harry T Murphy". Thanks.
Thanks for leaving the first person experience. I appreciate it.
@@NickBurnsFPV Additional info that I didn't think was appropriate for that review comment. Beyond buying GEPRC Phantom BNF (you can't build it for what it costs). I love the frame, especially the base plate; better than the toothpick type frame because of the flexibility; the extra mounting surface area and the ability to place the camera forward rather than on top of the stack. I also like the 3 column connection method which keeps the rear out of the props. Presently, I have three builds using this frame. Thanks. Harry
I put Gemfan 2540 tri-blades on mine. It really changes how it flies. Its even quieter, and has so much lift compared to the bi-blades. I have a CRSF nano on mine. Moved the capacitor forward and added a buzzer. Always dig watching your channel.
Love the look of this quad, it seems like a baby of a regular 5 inch!
That it does, The micro alien...well immersionrc made a micro alien but its a 3inch.
All you need is a MiniMortal T antenna on there and you've got a shrunk down 5 inch. Like Dr Nafarious shrink gun in minions
@@brianevans4 I think you mean Dr. Nefario LOL 😂😂👍
Good review as always Nick. I watch all of these, even for products I would not buy. I have learned a lot of tid bits and tricks this way.
I have been burned by GepRC , I will never buy one of their products. It was probably just bad luck, but my back and forth with the service department let me know that is not a company I will ever support or buy from.Plain and simple, they don't back their products. If it burns up when you buy it, they want you to fix it, and pay to ship the parts. Basically no warranty.
They make a good product, but good luck if it doesn't work out of the box.
Fantastic flying, Nick!!! Great review! 😃
I really love that frame! Some day I'm going to buy one! 😬
Stay safe with your family! 🖖😊
I have been wanting one! Never flew a micro. Only 5inchs. Looks like it rips! When I pull the trigger on the micros I think this will be the first one I get. Thank you for sharing.
Nice video keep up the good work. Had one of these for about 4 months now. Found that the mount for the aerial tubes comes loose and can go into the props. Also had a hard crash and broke 2 off the motor shafts it was on concrete though. But it flys really well and would recommend to anyone.
2:10min. Never seen you do that moove before. Very nice Nick. You fly so well 👍tanks for the review and all the good extra info.
I have two GepRC Phantoms. I changed both quads to Crossfire so I can fly them with the TBS Tango 2. 😉 I mainly fly them with HQProp 2.5x2.5x3. 3S 300 mAh. Flew them in parking garages and hitting the ceiling and concrete floor but they hold up very good. I totally love the Phantoms!! ✌️😀
I recommend if you break any motors to swap them to the xing nano 1103 8000kv, I love them (the black with red and blue ones). And maybe try the azure power 2540 tri blades for more authority and tightness in corners, that is if you like low to the ground racing style flying like me lol
Thank you for the review, I’ve been interested in this one for awhile!
Nick do the JESC 48khz BLHELI update and BF 4.1 RPM Filters. Def worth doing to any toothpick type build. IMO..Also I was looking at those RDQ 350 3S but there only 50c. I much prefer 80c like the 300 3S. Wonder why it’s lower.
I built one with a whoop board and 10000kv motors and 450mah 2s. It was sweet till a short burnt my board an CF Rx up. Gonna rebuild it with an iFlight stack I got. My brother has the pre built from gep and it awesome too. Flys good on 2s or 3s 450mah, We’ve tried the 3s 300mah whoop style batteries but they sag pretty hard. these frames have takin a beating and only issues have been occasional loose screw on a standoff
I fly mine on 2s with the tri blade emax props from my tinyhawk 2 freestyle. Absolutely love it
I bought this and found that I like the Emax Avan props the best, so far. They are quiet and torquey. Bought an extra frame too and put a BetaFPV whoop board in it. still have to gather some stuff before it will fly tho. I can't rip it like you. Good review
I Keep a stack of those on my peg board wall, its always good to have different props for builds and pre builts on hand, some quads just like certain props better. The Avan props are some of the best as well as being stout and very durable.
I felt like the GNB 350mah was not enough for me. I much prefer flying this one on the 450mah, much less sag and the extra weight doesn't bother me. This flew really nice out of the box. Motors are not very strong at all on impact. I have busted two motors in the first month.
Nice flight. I prefer the top mounts for batteries.
Thanks for reviewing this one, Nick! I fly it on gnb 300mah 3s and 450 mah 2s, HQ push on bi-blade props. For anyone wondering, I get the same weight with those batteries, but 2s has waaay less pop and feels lax in turns. I think it will just depend on the space you're flying in, as far as finding your preference. Maybe not the best for racer-style, but perfect for micro freestyle :)
Brian Clevenger - check out the weight of the 520 - 2s, same as 450 I believe.
I have this frame built up with Diatone mamba 16x16 stack running Rcinpower 1204's on the Avans and 450 3s and love it so much that I had to buy 4 bottom plates because the arms break easily for me. I don't know why but this combo is perfect for my style of freestyle, a little slower than you but more flowy. I saw your review on the Rcinpowers and have to disagree about the efficiency but that may be because i'm not pegged on the throttle most of the time. I am getting about 3.5 - 4 min on the the 450's. Great channel by the way! Stay safe.
What weight are the lipos you use please? I use the 300mah 3s gnb (coz that what I had) and they are only about 23g, plus the 56g of the quad is 79g. I feel like it make be too sluggish for me if u use the 450mah. Thanks in advance btw
I have one and love it. Right now I've got 2.5 avan rush props on right now. I like 2s 650 and 3s 450. I put a emax nano vtx antenna on mine.
With that blades and frame, powered by 3s..this can turn into cinewhoop easily
Mine came with terrible noise from the motors and was dull on 2s, swapped to t-motors 8000kv. And has now better performance than i had with The stock motors on 3s. I fly with 2s 450mah and no battery sag , and it flies amazing with 3.30min flight time
hi nick love what u do for our ever growing hobby , i bought one of these frames built a 4s version iand run gnb 450 4s lipo and using 5k motors with the gemfan 2.5inch propsand my one rips balls, also use 3s 350 mah,450 mah when doing calm flights buti love this frame and considering getting the caddx nebula version too
I have a lot of batteries through my phantom. I am not happy with the VTX I am currently on my 3rd. I also broke 1 motor smacked it full speed into a concrete curb. Overall I am happy with the phantom and would recommend it.
I mainly fly with the 450 2s tattu, the 350 2s betafpv works well too.
I have 2 phantoms, well 1 3/4.... The first came with a bad RX. Fail safed and damaged a motor. Replaced the motor and rx after waiting 6 weeks. To only find out that the plug between the FC and ESC had pulled from the board. Make sure to tighten up the stack screws, both of the ones I got were very loose! I ordered the esc and a second phantom. The esc was going to be another 6 weeks. The second phantom I got in 4 days. The second phantom had a bad rx and a bad camera. I swapped parts and now have a good flying phantom. Also the stand offs strip easy,, put a longer screw in, the ones from geprc are to short in my opinion. This all happen shortly after it was released. So time has gone by and parts are more available. I might have bad luck as well. But I love it nevertheless! I have been running 3S 300mah. I get 3 plus minutes. But I'm not a aggressive flyer. I will give the 450 a try. Nice review as always Nick!
Thanks for the review and sharing your experience with the Phantom! I do prefer the Avan Rush 2.5 props myself, as I favor the locked in turn handling even more than the slight top end perf increase. The only thing I would like more from this quad was if it could record HD at no cost to performance, but that's unlikely as the extra weight would tank the performance too much. Perfect park flier and very quiet, won't bother anyone.
This is my go to flyer for the yard. I have crashed in wet grass once and fried the esc. So I ordered another complete stack and a extra esc. Soo I guess I my aswell build another micro... maybe a tadpole or perhaps a qav3
Love my crossfire equipped Phantom on a 2s 450 RDQ battery. I get a solid 6 minutes of flight.
I love my phantom, I go with the avan rush 2.5” tri blades & with the XING 1204motors; 520-2s battery
I did replace the motors after I broke one motor and the frame arm. But it has taken a bunch of hits without failing
1204 6500kv? Is it a beast?
Stefano Mastruzzi yeah it’s really quick!
I want one of these. 60 FPS looks great. I noticed it before you even said it.
Great review as always! The top of the swing set makes a great place to mount a dive gate :)
ah, I will have to check that out as the leaves on the trees develop. I wonder if I will have the same clearance and the end of the branches gain leaf weight and start to sag.
I haven't seen those white flashes in DVR since upgrading from Aomway Commander v1, is that something you see in the goggles while flying? I haven't tried this specific one, but I keep going back the the original 65mm bi-blade toothpicks with bottom side-mounted 450mah 2s. Lowering the weight to 75mm and having most of it as close to the cg is definitely a big deal in these micros.
Yes, but I am leaning towards the issue being the new Orca goggles, today on another quad I was experiencing the same, I came in and grabbed the skyzon 03O goggles, no issues with it. I have the rapidfire in the Orca goggles.
This is my favorite "Toothpick " Quad. Currently using the Avant tri blade props and it is perfect for backyard or playground flying without people getting pissed at you because it's so quit and little. Might switch out the camera eventually for a HD Runcam Nano but we will see. I will have to check out those batteries your talking about. Using RDQ 2s and 3s 350 and 450 currently.
This is one of my favorite like a little 5in
Hi Nick, I've been fly the Phantom for some time now, I really enjoy it. Funny you did this review today because after your review yesterday of the Toothless, I'm convinced I want to swap out the EOS2 with the nano Toothless (have some evening fun).
I love mine. It has been used ALOT. I use beta 2s 350 and gnb 3s 300 on HQ props depending on environment/flight style. Can't go wrong buying this one.
...and wouldn't you know it, "Stickers"! LOL :D Thanks as always Nick.
I get some pretty gnarly flight time (5-6 mins) with BetaFPV 450mAh 3S batteries, same props as yours except its the push on version. Been wanting to try out the Avan Rush props.
First, I absolutely love my GepRC Phantom. I did attach a VIFLY self powered buzzer which I consider a necessity. I put a piece of non-slip pad on the battery and zip tied it to the tail. It is firm, holds the RX antennas in place and I can easily reach the button. I changed the Vtx antenna to an iFlight omni with a matching one on my goggles. The capacitor on mine is a 330 uf 25 volt. I added a soft non-slip battery pad and dog bone landing pads. Didn't like the stock props, so the first thing I did was change to HQProp T65mm 2.5 inch bi-blades. These are great props. I run 2 1S 600 mAh GNB batteries and consistently get over 7 minutes of fly time. Even though I crash a lot, I have not yet broken anything; not even a prop. Although I like the HQProps, I have just switched to the Avan Rush 2.5 inch tri-blade props which I will try as soon as we get "unleashed' from the coronavirus "stay-at-home" order.
Harry T Murphy I love vifly buzzers but I would not recommend putting one on this quad. It’s already a bit heavy as is, and the ViFly is an additional 5g on a 70ish gram quad. It significantly would reduce the flight handling of it IMO.
@@heroflying HeroPsycho, I realize that the ViFly buzzer adds weight, but that is not my primary concern; need to be able to find it when it goes down. I live in FL and the vegetation is murderous. I am an easy cruiser and am getting over 7 minutes of fly time on 600 mAh batteries which is pretty good. I have flown this configuration for months and am satisfied with the performance. My TH Freestyle is lighter so I use it for stunt flying.
If it works great for you that way, it's all good. I just wouldn't recommend it generally speaking for this quad if someone wants flight performance, cornering ability, etc.
@@heroflying I agree. In fact, if you want all out performance, buy something else. The Phantom is a little heavy in general, but there are better performers out there.
@@harrytmurphy8438 I found once you jettisoned the antenna TPU mount and straws it performs very well to be honest for this size of toothpick.
Thanks for reminding me I have one of these and haven't flown in a while.Mainly on 450 mah 3 cell packs but going to charge up a few packs for it to fly tomorrow...lol.
Hey Nick, I hold my T16 and sometimes my Tango2 when watching your flight videos. I try to stick your moves as you fly. It seems to help keep me sharp when I cant fly. Thought I would throw that out there in case others may find that useful. If nothing else its fun! Thanks Nick for all you do for the hobby! Keep up the magnificent work! FYI They now have a mini immortal T for micros! The only place that I have seen it is at Pyrodrone. Its tiny and UFL.
I find hq props and runcam nano 2 is very necessary. the motor shaft is a weak point. I got 2.30 with gnb 3s 300mah hv and 4.30 with gnb 3s 450mah hv. using 2s is very good for learning fpv.. thanks Nick for the great review 👌👍🏻
In my experience it's a great quad. I waterproofed it with the conformity liquid and now it's my rainy day outdoor quad👌👌👌
you get a lot of rain in your area?
What liquid? Brand? Thx
@@kraigvanderwyk1153brand name (MG chemicals) and they call it silicone modified conformal coating
@@NickBurnsFPV not too much here in southern California.
@@flyerelite5153 ah, so your all set it if does. Do you put rainx or something on the lens of the camera to get the rain to slide off?
Also I agree with your point about having to really push the throttle on punchouts, its definitely not a super powerful quad.
Cool quad. Great video! I'm a fan of Geprc motors, may look a little bit more into this little guy...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Thanks for showing, awesome punch 🥊 takecare
I like the frame but DO NOT use it for a whoop diamond mount board. The mounting holes on the left and right of the quad, the carbon around the holes will crack open easy. For 16x16 stacks it’s a good frame. Nick’s battery choice is spot on. Use the normal ummagrip on the top to hold your batteries. The lite ummagrip is too thin to keep the screw heads from pressing into the battery. Toss the TPU mount and straws. It spins around the standoff and is too heavy anyway. Zip tie your RX antennas to the arms and heat shrink them instead. HQ props are great! Gemfan are just ok. It’s a good quad. 16x16 stacks are economical if you blow something compared to whoop AIO boards. Pop an ESC? $15 to replace the ESC board, not $40 for an AIO board.
I have had this since it came out like 6 months ago. I haven't broken the frame. I broke a motor's bearing from a 70ft+ failsafe onto tarmac. Changed all the motors out for the xing nano 1103 8000kv. Also I prefer to used the azure power 2540 tri blades. I also swapped out the small vtx antenna for a tbs triumph u.fl with a cable tie and heat shrink. Hope this helps anyone.
Thanks for leaving additional real world information. Thank you
Np dude 😎 🤙
+1 for gnb 450mah 2s on avan rush 2.5" props. I also upgraded the vtx/antenna/camera and receiver. 4-5 minutes flight much quieter and plenty of punch.
Lol. I know this is old, but last week I burnt up the last two GEPRC motors that came stock on this quad. They smoked during a full punch-out on a half-empty 3S battery. The first one burnt out and the second one bent a shaft. As the motors broke, I replaced them with T-Motors equivalent. And none of the T-Motors have burnt up.
How long had you had it? I haven't had reports, that I recall, of the motors burning up.
@@NickBurnsFPV I got in in mid-april this year. I don't normally fly it, but I was testing props across all my 2.5". I punched out hard with HQ 2.5x3.5x3, the most aggressive prop I have. And I normally fly 2S, but was flying 3S 650's. So quad spins out of control. Two dead motors, both GEPRC, replaced them and all is good (FET's still okay).
Just brought one from eBay sold as seen but turned up as the original analog frame with different hobby wing 1103’s, supra f4 aio, new vtx and needed fully rebuilding and multiple cables resoldering. Turned out to be a nightmare getting it running but runs nice now and have it flying on the avan rush emaxx triblades which I’ve heard good things about and seem to fly nicely but it’s my first quad and arrived already modified so have no relevant comparison lol
While disappointing it didn't come as original I presume you learned a lot along the way of getting it going.
@@NickBurnsFPV I’m assuming that it’s probably a good thing it was non original as the previous owner must have had some of the issues I had read about with these lol but yes learned way more than what I would’ve needed had it been stock
I built this but the stack broke because of the connectors, it flew very nice even 2s.
I like topmount batteries, as I blew many bottom mounted.
This quad is great. I've had it for a month now, its built like a tank. Only problem is one of the motors had a weird sound out of the box, still flies perfectly though.
I also thought one or more motors sounded weird, I failed to mention it in the video.
@@NickBurnsFPV probably just qc. Still works perfectly good 👌
The phantom was my first non whoop quad, and I love it! I switched to the tri-blade Advan props.
What are your pids on the phantom, just curious?
Would love to see your sticker pile :D 👍 👍
lol, I don't keep them. I put them in the giveaway boxes. Right now there is probably about 50 in the pile, sometimes I put them back in the box too.
It happened nick, i broke my camera...and frame and FC and ESC and VTX, almost bought this frame to build out but opted for the tadpole frame...couldnt find a toothless 2 so i went with the falkor 2.
I used this frame.. 1105 mambas with the 20 amp betafpv board baby turtle and a rush vtx & avan rush props.. I fly it 450-650 4s lipos.. screams like a demon lol and I get like 4-5:30 min flights
Hi Nick. I always liked this frame. Finally ordered one that I’m swapping some parts in to it. I’ll be running 1105 6500kv motors and 12 amp aio board. Should be a ripper on 3s. Props I would try are the hq 65mm and hq 2.5x2.5 triblade. Have all parts just waiting on the frame and nano camera. Thanks for the vid as always. Be safe 🤙🏼
I've been waiting for this one. Torn between this and the iflight 120rs.
Gday Nick, very cool flying nearly run out puff over the roof of the house oh no more throttle lol, good on you for still doing reviews and keeping all of us entertained, great micro from geprc, theres one of your links for this micro lets just say be careful starts with x, great review as always mate.👍🛸
xt-xinte.com? I have ordered from them a few times without fail. Has there been issues?
@@spartan-fpv6936 I understand. Getting burned once is more than is acceptable.
I have been having my GEPRC Phantom for about a little over month and I really like this quad. I am trying out the Avan tri-blades now and like them a lot. I installed a Flysky Fli-14 + receiver and had to mount it on the bottom of the quad with a zip tie. I have not had to replace anything up to this point yet. I added a zip tie to the frame to support the VTX antenna. I was thinking about getting a runcam but I really like the caddax it comes with and I don't know how f it would be worth it. Thanks for the review and if you come up with anything to make it better please share. Keep it in the air brother!
The likely most upgrading item I am reading about here is the motors and camera. I like the runcam nano better than the eos, but thats personal preference.
@@NickBurnsFPV I may go ahead and get the runcam nano 2. The redish tint from the Caddax does get in the way some times. Do you know what motors they are moving to?
@@sebastrianw.4673 Most aren't specific, other than a brand...T-Motor, Diatone.
@@NickBurnsFPV thanks buddy.
Great review Nick. 👍👍👍
hey nick, unless your RDQ batterie, which one would you recommand in 2s ?I thought about GNB 450 2s HV 80c. is it a good choice? thank you so much for all your time you dedicate din this !
Try hq 65mm tri blade props. I use them on my avant Kira and love em
Hi, mine is not lifting off, is turning around, I check propels (2in), board orientation, the motors are new. Please help.
double triple check, motor rotation, prop mounting with correct rotation, FC knows which way props/motors are set to spin, also check motors tab in betaflight, motor 1 slider spins motor 1 and motor 2 slider spins motor 2....through motor 4.
Mom loved this but she thought you should of broken out into a song from phantom of the opera
mom doesn't know my singing voice! Nor do I know the words :)
I really want a little 2" they look fun.
It must be like Christmas in your house , deliveries daily
I have one for a while, but ran into an issue with the camera. In certain angles and light conditions, the image gets a dark band over it, and also has a wavy distortion running down the image. I swapped the camera and that made it go away, but the different camera also added some extra weight. I am stll running stock props with 300mAh 2S, hoping to keep it light and agile, but those batteries have a little to low power. Voltage sag isn't too terrible, but climb is too slow to my liking. So got some work to do.
the EOS2 must be super cheap to buy in bulk, I think it should be retired for the RC nano.
@@NickBurnsFPV Probably. And some EOS2 are quite decent, with more natural colors, no dirt spots inside the camera body. But I've seen too many of these with at least one or more issues. But it's very cheap, so it will probably be here to stay for a little longer...
Hi Nick. Great review. What did you like more, the GepRC Phantom or the Avant KIRA? These are the 2 that I am looking at and since Avant is not as popular as the GepRC, I figured I would ask you since you have them both. I really look forward to your response.
Its close, I give the edge to the kira.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thank you Nick. I just purchased the 2.5" Avant I truly appreciate your help. Have a great weekend.
hey @nick love to see you do a review of the ORCA goggles
I got 3 phantom frames, they are great.
I have one on the way. I am switching all new purchases to sub 250 drones. F### the FAA!
Nice chimney dive in there
Hey Mr. Burns! Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your video reviews. In my search for similar builds I came across your video and hope you don't mind if I ask a question here. I'm am currently building a 2.5" 2-4s on the phantom frame. The specs so far are succex 16x16 aio stack, geprc 1204 motors, rush 2.5 props and the runcam nano 3. I've always used stock betaflight tunes. What(if any) changes did you make in betaflight? Is there any advice you can give me for this setup? Thanks again and happy flying!
For bind and fly quads such as this phantom I don't make pid tune changes, unless the pid tune is pretty poor. The flight in this video is stock pid tune from geprc. Running BF defaults as a goal is difficult for me to judge, as its very very rare any of my builds (micros) don't require customization. I can't remember a micro I built that didn't require a custom pid tune. One tip I suggest is to use the phantom hd frame. Its thicker and I have been hearing others breaking the frame on the stock phantom.
I love this little quad I have changed the antenna to the lumenier AXii rhcp,and the camera to the baby ratel much better video. iv been flying with the hqprop 65mm but iv got gemfan flash 2540-3 prop I'm going to test once quarantine is over
btw when your esc blows iflights pinout esc is compatible with that stack.
Danish I think they are literally the same ESC and FC in those two stacks quite honestly.
simple and clear review, cept the flight footage :), btw nick how about review diatone GTB 229 Cube Finger Version, if posible
Coddar lipos has a 300 and 350mah 3s that are great on amazon
coddar?
@@NickBurnsFPV yep coddar lipos on amazon
Oh lord 58g how did it gain 7g?
Is that a real current sensor or virtual?
Also is the XM+ antenna bent under that tube cap?
Comparing to the geprc pictures, the added weight from HQ props, larger capacitor, antenna grommet, maybe rx wiring (thought it was a bit long on mine), battery pad on top, and rx antenna tube length.
Hi Nick,please have a review on bugs3 mini. I just want to see a pro flyer how you fly a drone like that. Thanks
hey Nick i got a question for you. I got a larva x running 2.5 in props of course. my frame broke and I want to switch it up and was thinking of getting the GepRC Phanton frame which would be great to mount a runcam thumb pro on it cant really do that on the larva x. My plan is to just move all the components from the larva x. I usually fly on 3s 350 or 450 occasionally in throw a 4s 450 on there. Do you think putting those parts on this frame will work out fine I know the frame is a little heavier so idk if the happymodel 1103 7000kv motors will be fine with it.
I looked at buying this when it first came out. I literally just ordered it Monday night. How is the factory tune out of the box? Maybe I missed you mentioning it or what version of BTFL its running. I think it will be great spring time fun though since I have a very similar sized back yard and now there is no snow in it lol.
Kelly Grajek I would upgrade it to Betaflight 4.1, and flash the ESC with JESC and pay for telemetry or JazzMaverick to get RPM filtering. It flies REALLY well if you do that. Reply to me if you’d like my PIDs
It's spot on out of the box, no need to update.
@@heroflying Sure I will try them, thanks. Seems good of default but I will give it a try.
nice flyin kwad nick!
most or all your flights are done in acro? including inside??
Thank you. Yes Its very rare I test/fly stabilized.
Did fly awesome on 3s
i get 4 m on a 2s 450,not as fast but i dont fly like that
You inspired me to finally pick one up. How do I change the VTX channel?
A bit more than I can type here. Short version left stick mid,full left right stick mid, full up. Select features from the list then smart audio and then make the change to band, channel and mw there
Nick Burns thank you
I’m looking to purchase my next toothpick and wonder - based on your experience- which is more durable: frames with both a bottom and top carbon fiber plate (geprc phantom, tinyhawk freestyle etc) or those with a carbon frame but a plastic/TPU canopy (geprc skip 3, larva x etc)?
top plate is going be more durable, protects the components much more.
hey Nick Burns,
comparaired to the tinyhawk II freestyle, is it better in term of range, performance and autonomy with the batteries ?
thank you so much for your review
The range should be better as the tinyhawk has an spi receiver, the phantom also has more performance. Not sure how to answer on autonomy of batteries, most quads have a limit to battery weight before the performance or pid tune are impacted.
Im thinking of buying a tyro79 and upgrade parts (camera, antenna and props) but i cant decide if i should buy the tyro79 / 89 or the phantom
Nice review, just wondering why you said 220uF is low for 35V ?
Capacitors come in all voltage ranges, and the uF rating is how much energy they store. It is not connected to each other.
So 12V 220uF or 35V 220uF or 1000V 220uF: all of these variants would store the same energy on this quad (the lipo charges them).
Did you compare it between 2S and 3S ?
P.S.
Awesome flight skills, wish I could do that.
Its a bit odd to see in quads this mix of 35v and 220uF, isn't so much its low rather than odd. I did compare, but quickly found my preference.
@@NickBurnsFPV I understand.
The reason might be against voltage spikes (though that would only help when polarity matches).
Another youtuber said he noticed such effects, I'd need to put a scope up to verify that.
My guess is that they minimize costs and a 35V cap can cover 1S up to 6S so they can buy a large order on those and use them for all their products.
Hi nick, can you share dumpfile in description? Or PID stack from phantom with this biblade? Thanks
Are you using the x-lite transmitter? Nice review
I am.
I ordered from race day quads, the shipping won’t update and it’s been 5 days...
I don't suspect with that wait they don't have stock. Normally in/out of stock is noted on the product page.
I ordered mine from pyrodrone. It'll be here Friday. Already tracking.
