Chimera 7 w / DJI o3 Long Range Test 20 Km from Home (FPV)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ม.ค. 2024
- This was an attempt to reach 20Km (about 12.4 miles) from home position .
The weather was not optimal . High humidity affected the signal and the video quality . Medium side winds made the craft to drift to a longer path .
In ideal conditions it could make 21Km or more .
It's ok , next time 😉

I am such an FPV nerd. That was 34 minutes of bliss.
However I am stunned to see you did that on a quad and not a fixed wing. I didn't even know that was possible.. I won't lie... my heart started sinking watching the voltage drop at the end
great video, you kept me stunned for a while! that flight over the water is beautiful
Thanks !
This is LIT!!! Great vid, I'm always drawn to longer voyage too but 20km??! Thats crazy!
Thanks !
That’s insane man! Hats off to you!
Thanks !
Wow 20 km! You are awesome, man 👏👏😍🤘🥃
Απίστευτο... μπράβο !!! Ευχαριστώ για τις τεχνικές πληροφορίες. Άντε και του χρόνου... Σκόπελο !
Μη μου βάζεις ιδέες 😆
@28:25 the tilt , wicked 🔥🔥🔥. Awesome 20km voyage in FPV, fs.
Thanks . You can see if you want some photos of the craft at community tab.
Great flight
Thanks !
So impressive!
Thanks !
Πρώτα έκανα sub και μετά είδα το βίντεο ! Ωραίος !!
This is awesome.
Thanks
Wow, I didnt expect ELRS 2.4 Ghz got that much range with stock antenna's.
Wow+! I am glad I stumbled on you channal. Fantastic videos mate. You are much braver than me. I only have cheaper drones, but I am always too afraid I will lose them to try such a flight. (Not that they can fly that far anyway)
Nice !
that's str8 wild man
Thanks
Very impressive 💪
Thanks
Wow...impressive!!
Thanks.
I'm just amazed at how that 7 inch could carry two 3p packs ..that's a crap ton of weight no joke
haha I converted my 7" to 8" to carry 6S4P better.. man wonder how it be with 6S6P

Very impressive😮.
Thanks
bellissimo complimenti
Wow!! This is a real long range flight! Welldone!! Χαρά στην υπομονή σου!
Wooow, finally some proper long range with the O3 unit :D Also, what about the Matek receiver, did it have any issues at this distance?
Thanks. I didn't noticed anything bad with the receiver . Telemetry data are on the top of the video. Worked as expected
Amazing! Well done. When you get a chance please show us your setup. I'd like to see diversity antenna placement and batteries please. I do not have diversity and my Chimera failsafes when turning around after only 4kms or so.
Thanks. Take a look at community tab for some pictures
😮 impress
wow cool
Long Range over the sea... bufff. How did you do to get the osd printing so nice in the screen?
These are telemetry data from the EdgeTX controller and has been embedded with DashWare. You can watch a nice tutorial here th-cam.com/video/T52QpFsYNMs/w-d-xo.html
I'm your 140 sub 😊 BTW good back ground music
Thanks , it's from TH-cam's library
Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing, so many questions. Please indulge me with these answers. Maybe you can post them in the community section.
why Inav and not Ardupilot with missions?
You mentioned that motors have been modified, did you rewind them by hand, or can you explain?
Can you share picture of the two batteries on the quad?
Can you share a closeup picture of your goggle antennas and the video transmitter antennas?
thank you!
Thanks. When I find some time I will
Amazing)
Thanks
This is seriously amazing and badass! I'm just curious where the o3 OSD is and how low your bitrate got! Very cool man
Thanks. Unfortunately when I use DigiView , goggles are not recording the flight . Most of the time it was over 10Mbps and the lower was 2 .Take care
Sheesh i NEED to see that battery setup!
2x6s3p DIY 18650 packs (18Ah)
@@diverFPV so that's a 6s6p 18Ah?, and i thought 6s2p 21700 10Ah is too much for 2807 motors but should be just fine
@@andrewbt87 Yes , two packs in parallel . But if you see in description , motors are modified to 1180KV and in theory they have more torque and they are more efficient . Also the propellers are 7535 . Yes 6s2p 21700 is fine
18650, not 21700@@andrewbt87
Woow. Just amazing. It´s the longest flight I´ve found here on TH-cam. I have a questions for you. How you modified the motors KV, just by removing some coil turns? Amazing. will see all your future videos !
Thanks . No, I rewind them and I added 2 turns . Take a look here www.youtube.com/@diverFPV/community . Take care
Wow 😳👍
Thanks !
This video is crazy good. I'm really glad you commented on Barwell's video. so I could find (and subscribe to) your channel.
Super impressed with this amazing range! Could you provide us further insight on your DIY Helical LHCP antennas?
Thanks. You can find the files from "far vew" here farvew.com/content/11-12-turn
Your cloverleaf set up. Did it lose video at all? I have dual truerc x-air antennas. I find it very finicky to aim. Also when my quad pitches to far forward I start to lose mbps. Starts showing red at the bottom.
No , I had video all the time. It only dropped at some points to 2 Mbps . If you have problems with reception, learn about Fresnel zones. The terrain relief is very important when it comes to long range. Take care
It's fantastic.
It would be nice to add a video showing the aircraft in detail.
I'm curious what it looks like when 36 18650 batteries are installed.
Thanks. When find some time I will do it in community
@@diverFPV I will wait for youtube content mate :)
@@diverFPV wheres community? curious Ive done 12,000mah pack that most I ever did was i think 32KM.. What does this pack you have weigh?
@@divingfalconfpv4602 The weight of each pack is about 900 grams . Take a look here www.youtube.com/@diverFPV/community
@@diverFPV oh damn I have 6s4p. Might make 6s5p. But I need bigger motors. Drone needs bigger motors for the props I have
Man that was great! Could you provide more information on the antennas that were used for o3 and your ground station, pictures etc.? Did you use 9, 12 turn antennas?
Thanks . Take a look here www.youtube.com/@diverFPV/community . Take care
Is it a recording from unit or gopro? How did you get telemetry on top of video?
The video is from o3 air unit's DVR at 2.7K 60fps . It is stabilized with Gyroflow and the telemetry data from rc embedded with DashWare . You can watch a nice tutorial here th-cam.com/video/T52QpFsYNMs/w-d-xo.html
WOW! So theres 36 18650's straped on to that quad? Unreal flight! Love it!
Thanks
Awesome flight. Coud you let me know where where you installed the elrs antenna?
Thanks . Take a look here th-cam.com/channels/dLeRhlb2NU8QhoGa6fHl8g.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxM4tjq8U03yP3freqvYAlpe9ltV3UQ2FK
@@diverFPV Thank you so much~!!
So the V2 goggles and an 03 airunit pushes this far?! Im sold! This is amazing distance
Thanks . But you will need two high gain directional antennas on goggles , make sure that the polarization match and the flight path will not mess up with the first Fresnel zone
Sweet osd
Congrats for this impressive flight distance.
How did you do for display the efficiency (wh/km) in your OSD? I would like to use this fonctionnality on my 03 googles integra to. Thanks a lot, enjoy.
Thanks. I use INAV and at the OSD tab there is this choice . I'm not 100% sure but I think there is this option also in BetaFlight . Take care
nice flight ! next time, do a height record! lol.
Thanks , next time , under water 🙃
wow... nice... have a look at the Samsung 21700-50S ... I fly those in 6S2P and get 10Ah
would be interessted in your antenna setup on the O3, on 18,8km I get problems with complete stock components :)
Thanks . If I find genuine ones because there are a lot of fakes out there . Take care
How did you get that sweet overly with ur speed, elevation, battery stats, and other stuff?
These are telemetry data from the EdgeTX controller and has been embedded with DashWare. You can watch a nice tutorial here th-cam.com/video/T52QpFsYNMs/w-d-xo.html
We need a video of your drone and battery setup... this is amazing. Mine dropped signal at 3km..
Was your rc 1w?
The module is 1W but it was in auto mode with max power at 500mw . At the top left of the screen you can see how "TPWR" changes during the whole trip . At some point, I'll make a video with my drone but I don't know when . Until then , check the community tab www.youtube.com/@diverFPV/community
. Take care
Thats absolutely nut thats gotta be a record for 03 distance sheesh man makes me wana get the v2 im rocking g2 and limited to antenna options ...would live to knwo what your antennas look like
Thanks . Record distance for o3 , no .For a Chimera , maybe . There is a guy who reached the 23.4Km hard limit of o3 with a fixed wing th-cam.com/video/-bYz3QuYT84/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9DagtGC2COgW_zuq&t=2406 . If you want to see some pictures go here www.youtube.com/@diverFPV/community . Take care
😍😍👍👍
Now go 24Km out😉
Can you recommend a good antenna setup for O3->V2? I wanted to add X2 to my AXII 2 HD but I'm still not sure which TX antennas to use.
24 Km is out of range , maybe 23 😆
I have no experience with commercial antennas . I use DIY cloverleaf . Theoretically all omni antennas has similar behavior . Take care
Can you share where you had on quad installed elrs antenna ? Which poaition and direction
There are two dipoles (not T shape) in the back , with 60 degree angle between them and 20 degree angle with the vertical axis . Take a look at community tab
good
Thanks
Amazing ! Lol that a long ride was happy with 3.4 km 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks . Yes , I was thinking the same when I start flying LR 🙂
With your current setup let say you dive around 3km behind few tree is the connection still good ? how is the penetration ?@@diverFPV
@@YTFPV I've never tried it. I thing it depends from a lot of factors. Usually at long distances , even small obstacles has big effect it signal strength . IMHO , if you don't loose the link, it will be at the edge.
Thanks ya usually has soon i lose view of the drone connection is lose. @@diverFPV
Wow, thats awesome. You really push the limits. Congrats for this flight. What do you mean with modified motors? Did you set any motor output limit? thx
Thanks. I rewind them and reduce the KV. No output limits. I don't know when I'll find some time to post in the community section some info, but I will
@@diverFPV That sounds very interesting. Never heard of that before. It would be great if you find the time to let us know how to rewind motors to reduce kv. thx and all the best for you
Impressive!!!❤❤❤❤
Thanks !
is there any chance you can share your knowledge on this? I'd like to build something similar just to get the feeling of flying such a long range
If you haven't done yet , take a look at community tab to see if it covers you . And feel free to ask questions for anything you can't find. If I know the answer, I'll be glad to share.
Can i ask hoe you make this osd in your video ? How you did record that so far looks very good ,and distance awesome 🙏
Thanks . These are telemetry data from the EdgeTX controller and has been embedded with DashWare. You can watch a nice tutorial here th-cam.com/video/T52QpFsYNMs/w-d-xo.html
are you put 20mhz on transmission? or just set it auto?
Bandwidth was at 40 Mhz
Wow very impressive . What was the signal like 20km out ?
Thanks . Beyond 15Km and until 20 it was below 10Mbps. The lowest I saw was 2 at the turning point and after that it got better and better.
😀👍
Hi all right with you? How do I make the display (OSD) like you see in this video?
I used "DashWare" . You can watch a nice tutorial here th-cam.com/video/T52QpFsYNMs/w-d-xo.html
How did you change cam angle mid flight?
With a servo. Check the pictures in community tab
What google do you have? How does the range go so far??
It doesn't have to do with goggles . Both v2 and g2 in combination with o3 , have about 23.4Km range. For more details take a look at description and here www.youtube.com/@diverFPV/community . Take care

Nice Distance!!! Huge Battery weight though. holy moly.
Wow I think this is the longest range I seen for a Chimera 7, I have one question : I thought that the DJI FPV transmitter is limited to 13Km range, have you done something to go further ?
Thanks.o3 has a limit between 23 and 24 Km . The old air unit has 13.4 Km with goggles V2 and with goggles 2 , I thing is 28 Km
@@diverFPV nice thank you for the informations :)
Why you think that Old Vista/unit have limits 28km in G2? Where is proofs?
@@diverFPV g2 and vista/unit has a limit 13.4km
@@ali3n24 I haven't experienced it myself , and I can't find a link for the moment but , there are reliable voices out there that reported range of 28+ Km with g2's . If you have g2 and you have test it , then , ok . I believe you .
You have 100 subscribers🥳. I'm #100🙂
Thank you !!! 🥳 @MrBeast , your days are numbered 🤣
18000mah total OMG. WOW over 41KM total distance so crazy. I have a 12,000mah 6s4p I turned an 7" into an 8" perfect conditions and cruising speed I have done 30km total distance. And a bunch of 25km and longer. But damn risking it all go out max distance and if wind changes or anything quad is gone 😂 I have another two 6s 3000mah li-ion I want to add try out 18,000mah. Been curious if add flight time or too much for my tiny 2806.5 motors. I have 2807 1050kV on the way. Hoping a lil extrra size help. Lower kV be more efficient
Yes, it's risky when you have not planned it well . In my case , I had three alternative landing spots ( "safe homes" in INAV ) just in case . And yes , lower KV is better for long range
@@diverFPV figuring u might have a safe home on the island or near the water when u get back to ur land. something in case of anything
Are you making use of the new iNav multirotor cruise mode?
Only "Altitude Hold" . Unfortunately cruise mode is not working very well . I mean it does the job but the video is very shaky , especially when there is wind from the back. I hope that the developers in the future will give as the tools to adjust the way it behaves, when the speed exceeds the target value.
That's excellent info to know! I've been updating my stuff, but can't really test it due to freezing temperatures and wind. Hoping to eventually reach these insane sorts of distances myself, but I need a hill. You've given me a new goalpost to reach.
I wish you the best
@@diverFPV Many thanks!
awsome!I try to carry 6s4p 21700 with my 10‘’,maybe it can fly 15Km away
Why is the o3 distance in the DJI specs max 10 km?
I don't know . Maybe they mean with stock antennas in good conditions
nice, but going to 17V ouch, it hurts :)
Thanks . Li-Ion has much more tolerance than Li-Po.
03 + googles v2? you can rec de osd?explian please.
These are data from telemetry , not from osd . It has been embedded on video using "DashWare". For more details there is a fantastic tutorial at @Painless360 channel th-cam.com/video/T52QpFsYNMs/w-d-xo.html
How do I get better range I have a 03 unit and goggles 2 the video drops off around 1 mile away any advice would be appreciated
If you are in FCC mode, 40Mhz bandwidth and clear LOS in many different places, losing video at one mile is very strange.
Your TX antenna might have a defect or the connectors might be loose. I can’t think of anything else.
Take care
@@diverFPV have you got it in auto or manual channel if so what channel is best for range
@@h3jto113 I'm in manual mode . For my antennas, channel 3 has the best performance

No. Old air unit and Vista has 13Km. o3 has around 23.4 Km
can u share video signal stats?
DigiView was connected with the goggles and it did not record video and subs . So, no log file exists. I can only describe you my experience .
The first 10Km were above 20Mbps , after that it was above 10Mbps except some brief instances which drooped to 3-5Mbps . I was afraid that I will lose video on the turning point but the signal got better and above 10Mbps for the rest of the flight
Is the signal will remain pretty strong behind tree on short range let say 3km or you really have to be in line of view ?@@diverFPV
@@YTFPV You need to have line of sight for anything beyond a couple hundred meters.
