Just found the next interesting drone on banggood: eachine shadow fiend (143gr) and hope to also get a 4S lion pack. did you solder your lion yourself? not sure if 210 gr 3500mah lion will work - weight wise - but I will try!
@@Rcschim yes I built it myself. Sony Vtc6 3500 4s. 25mins with some adjusting of the sliders in bf it now flies smooth with "enough" power for steady flight. Not an Acro battery. At 143g you should get closer to 30+ mins. My flywoo due to a 20x20 stack (stock was 16x16) a larger tbs diversity nano receiver and the vista comes in at 190 before the battery. So it's a bit overweight. But with a 550 3s I get 6 mins which is adequate and under 250g. Li-ion is 204g plus the 190 for the quad.... But as said it flies fine..... But from following your videos a while now I'd say your emax 5 inch that you get 7 mins of cruising on would be the "nicer" choice with that extra power when needed. 🤣🤣 As I initially said I absolutely love it great to be in the air for so long..... not constantly watching the battery voltage.
@@gmivisualsjason3729 good to hear it works (the 204gr lion). yep, I also needed to adjust a few sliders in BF to get the chimera smoother. emax is nice, but I should maybe consider putting GPS on it to make it come home in case of problems. That's the real benefit of the longrange drones! "FPV is like: throwing a real expensive boomerang down the grand canyon. In theory it should come back..."
@@Rcschim I started Flying DJI Drones the Mini 2 so I am learning how To use the Gimbal Camera & all the Settings in the DJI Fly App ! So far just around our 1 1/2 Acres & the House ! Hasn't always been Good Weather really Hot then real windy now Rain Snow & Cold ! I try getting out early morning before the Wind picks up ! Happy New Year also ! Hope it's Virus Free !
it was "just" a hawk - but every soaring bird is really an awesome opportunity. here's another recent video with such a majestic bird: th-cam.com/video/1Ol_wSWjbqQ/w-d-xo.html with the new DJI drone and better cam. greets, Mario
Wasnt brave enough to max out the range. Also I had no idea how long my batteries (all quite old) would really last. Max was around 1.7km (still 50mbit there) I could also overlay the bitrate in a 3rd layer - but this is time-consuming and I was supposed to release this video for their black friday... getting GPS + DJI data into the same SRT subtitles would be possible in theory, but splicing 2 seperate logfiles (with probbably different data rate / lines per seconds) is difficult I guess :)
Hello Mr Schim. Very good video! I can only get one with the Nebula, I'd like to know how you swapped the cameras? Was it only the camera housing and not the cable?
I swapped the lens-module + cable. you just unscrew one screw on the vista unit, the bracket comes off, the flat cable can be carefully lifte up, then you plug in the new cable. Quite easy, done it a few times now. Works also on the full airunit - but there you have to open the air unit case to get access to the cable socket...
Hab mal gelesen daß Vögel beeindruckt sind, wenn Du einen Loop machst - das können nämlicht, wenn überhaupt, nur ganz wenige Vögel - dann hauen die vielleicht ab ;)
Yep, I like them. Look of faceplate and the hidden patches are a huge plus. Range is ok for most flights. Friday I was at 2.3km and still had full mbits...
AT 6:02, I noticed you have the antenna on your Tango2 oriented vertically. On the Chimera4, the receiving antenna is horizontal, which is not a good combo.. fine for short-range flying, pretty sure that gives worse signal overall though.
Thanks for the reminder. Friends also told me this recently when they saw me flying this way. Totally agreed ;) I think it's just a bad habit of me - since the antenna also doubles as a radio-stand when it's vertically - so that's usually the first thing when I turn it on and rest it on the ground...
What was your maximum video range with this quad? You think the GPS is correctly installed and doesn't interfere with the caddx? As I know of, all micro long range quads in the market don't put care on GPS shielding.
From the log and gps coords I see that homepoint is very accurate. Since it is new i only had a few flights, max around 1.7km, but still 50mbit there ;) video should be good for 10 or more km. I don't know bout my crossfire range yet. Currently battery range is limited (need a big lion)
@@Rcschim i have geprc baby 4 and my test flight has 2km at max and the video signal dropped down to 10mbps and even crossfire nano LQ dropped to 80! I highly suspect the GPS interference.
@@rumuru98 hi, 2km doenst sound that much for DJI FPV. I dont think that GPS will interfere with other electronix! It's a passive antenna, right? So it will GET interference from other electrical comps and so the GPS might be inaccurate then. But not the other way round. I would check the antenna-placement (both video and CF). CF: is it really LQ you're seeing there or is it RSSI? I had some issues last time getting the right CF values to be displayed on the DJI osd. Now I think it's correct. If you can, also check the LQ of CF directly on your radio telemetry - so you know it's not an issue there. What DJI antennas are you using?
@@Rcschim Everything is stock. Stock Dji goggle antenna, Geprc crocodile 4 5.8g antenna, TBS tango2 antenna, Immortal T crossfire rx antenna. Because Dji OSD can't display LQ, I mapped LQ telemetry to channel 9 (AUX5) and set the RSSI channel to AUX5 in BF configurator, and display RSSI value to OSD. What Dji 5.8g antenna you recommend? (Video transmitter antenna)
@@rumuru98 hey, I flew to a mountain today, this time 2.6km and Video was mostly 50 mbit, I was scared when it got down to 44 ;) I use stock antenna on copter (video tx) because caddx Vista antenna is good. On goggles I currently use iflight Chrystal hd, super compact and good range. On my radio telemetry I saw min LQ was 88, but during flying up on mountain i mostly had 97... Was scary tho;)
Wow I continue to be surprised at the quality of the DJI video. I still fly analog but plan to switch depending on what the DJI FPV drone looks like when it comes out. I anticipate (pure guess) near Christmas and probably closer in performance to current Mavic Pro etc which wont be enough for me. We'll see I guess
They also work on a tango2 clone, right? As polished as their drones are, it will be interesting to see where the new one will be positioned. Can't belive they aim for freestyle fpv, the market seems to small...
now I've just watched AndyRCs take on new DJI stuff. So maybe we really see some sub 250 longrange DJI FPV drone directly from DJI? Any maybe no new version of DJI FPV (since it's already really good, no need to upgrade so soon - not possible to make it so much better yet to be an upgrade worth spending money for?)
normally I dont sell this stuff, keep it and make a museum in the future :) but check banggood - the prices of most drones have gotten really affordable I think!

i'm really liking this 4 inch format, just wondering how heavy can it go to help fight the wind, also that looked like a buzzard, they don't attack anything they are purely scavengers. i wonder if folding props would be ok for these quads, much safer for birds of prey attacks.
Hi Mac, (isnt every Scot a Mac? :) Yes, I think it was a Buzzard. Didnt know they are scavengers (but I read not just scavengers, also hunt down small animals like Mice). Folding props would for sure work. Are there 4" Dalprops fold available already? Dont know. To the 4"ers: yes - they are really fun! I will try to get a LION pack and see how much flighttime I can get. But 7 to 10min on my many 1500mah 4S packs already feels quite long. Can be stretched to maybe 12mins with just gentle cruising. Wind: I feel like it needed a bit PID tuning. Increase the D term (wich is stated in BF now as "the dampener") - and that worked. Now it's smoother. Of course, if you fly at Arran over the ridge, you would probbably be in trouble. Speed is ~70kph horiz - so wind speed should be max 50kph... greets, Mario
@@Rcschim thats quite a low speed, there are very few windless days in scotland, maybe more weight will help, with a 610g 5inch i was tilted at 45deg and holding almost 70% throttle to maintain a straight line along the ridge, very disconcerting feeling by the way, and yes all scots are macs, only thing we don't like being called is scotch and thats just mildly annoying, the english call us jocks which is also fine. so "d'' is the new "i'' term.... i thought d just quickened the response... i have never tuned a quad, i once increased d on the pitch axis to make feel more like the roll axis, and it worked hehehe. yes 10min flight is long but remember when you did longer range it takes a long time to get to the target, and that horrible guessing game when you have to return, i flew yesterday and was so rusty, took me 3 minutes to relax and my packs only just lasted 4 mins and also, you remember the guy who tried to steal my camera? e wandered by again and said there was a buzzard on a pole near to me, i had a little look and orbit, it wasn't too bothered by me flying near, they are giant birds, if you came across one in the woods, you'd run for it hehehe i think buzzards are part of the vulture family, they are maybe too big to hunt.... i was just thinking what if i put a 6s lion pack on my 5 inch 2750kv quad,? i think i can fly with 60 amp maximum

Yes, and also to save BITRATE for the more important details: if you have no ND filter, the DJI bitrate is used a lot for the fast moving details (like the ground).
