Yes, the Chimera 7 HD is a battleship of a copter. I love the "no props in view" setup (e.g. my Alfa Monster was very good too, but i/you could see the props!) and it's performance. It flies like it's nailed on tracks - I just love it! You described the "specialties" of this bird quite precisely (fast "follow footage", long and fast drops, juicy cruises)... Also stable and solid hoover and long flight times - but like you said, I wouldn't trade my 5 inch away. By the way, i did not build mine with the standard components - FC: Matek F722, Motors: Garilla: G2507/1500kv, 50A 4in1 esc, Dalprop Cyclone T7056C Pro, DJI digital system...

I'm trying to choose between iflights 6" drone and the chimera 7 On my site I do Chase videos of RC planes some of them jets. My DJI FPV drone does fine up to about 85 miles an hour for about 4 1/2 to 5 minutes. You can check my site to see the kind of performance I'm getting from it. I would like a drone that can maintain faster than that for as long or longer than that and keep up with the EDF jets. I've asked the question before but never gotten an answer which one would you recommend?

Tom I note you are using TBS for the control and long antennae for the DJI video, how far have you gone with this setup and still get video (non pixilated, good quality)? I am struggling a bit with distance on the DJI video side controller I use is the DJI and it seems faultless.

Hi Tom, thanks for the response. Yes I am using 1200mW in the DJI system and have tested with 200mW and it does not make much difference I get the quad copter in the goggles going Red and then dissapearing alltogether but the Bit Rate is still OK so I keep going until I get to around 15mbits then come home. We have a lot of trees where I am flying so perhaps I need to go to an open space to see how far it can go. I am also thinking of going to 900mhz for the control allthough the DJI controller seems to be bullet proof and I probably do not need to do this. It is the video I need to focus on and that was why I asked about your setup. Many thanks for your input.

I hear those really improve distance and penetration..

Excellent video. I currently only have 2200 batteries and want to try some longer range stuff with my Chimera7, is there any advantage in putting two 2200 batteries on in series over day one single 4500?

hey man, love your videos, I just killed one 7 inch and I ordered one RTF chimera 1800kv + chimera frame to put my old F90 2806.5 1500kv there and build a back up drone. what do you think is the flight time gain with 1300kv vs 1800kv? Also you seem to use much higher capacity batteries than others, people seem to be very happy with 3300mah, some use recommended 2200mah and get 6-8min which is not too bad, what's your reasoning there? is it simply that you are willing to trade off handling for few extra minutes with that bigger drone?
