@@NONSENSE_EXPLORER The Mark5 really is an amazingly smooth flying experience, especially the X Frame. If you are using the DJI FPV for cinematic experience, the Mark 5 should be used for the experience of flight. I use Cinewhoops and DC framed drones for cinematic, but you definitely need at least one X frame drone for the experience of flight. The Mark 5 X frame is that one for me. Couldn't be happier. Also, it's very durable, unlike the DJI FPV drone.

​@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so I did my maiden flight with the mark5 yesterday, was a little short lived as I only had one battery. But all went great. I decided to listen and bought some 4S batteries as I'm new and new to FPV (thanks to your advice I still have a drone) but today I took it out and I didn't look at the controller and didn't realize it was in acro mode. Well needless to say I'm impressed with the durability. Slammed straight into the ground (O3 air unit wasn't touched surprisingly) at full speed. Broke some props and cut some battery line but outside of that, no damage to the drone. Had this been a 6S battery, I do not think I would have a drone with just a broke prop. So Steve, all in all. Your beginner videos are so so so helpful. Also the reviews with different drones. Last but not least you are an amazing person for doing this for the community and making it very easy to follow.

Not just opps crashed but hard enough that I thought the drone was definitely broken. It went straight down (didn't check the controller and was in acro mode, not angle mode) 03 air unit camera was the main impact area. No damage but a broken prop. No damage to the camera or air unit and no damage to the drone, very impressed with the durability. Had this been a 6S at full speed like today.

another stellar review Steve, God every time i see one of your fpv reviews im sure i want an fpv. you make it look so easy and smooth. then my friends bring me back down to earth by saying you just fly camera drones. to which they are right. I only fly and have one camera drone its a mavic mini flymore combo. when i bought it I thought it was the best thing ever. Now im trying to upgrade to a mini 2 just because i love the size and feel of my original mini but the controller seems so much better on mini 2 and having the lipo batteries means more power. i dont even dream about the mini 3 although ive heard rumors that the price may be dropping to mini 2 prices. Have you heard anything?lol Anyways i digress. my dream is to fly fpv but they tell me its a really hard transition and I dont want to invest a bunch of money just to find out i hate it. I know to most people its not a lot of money but i lost my business with COVID and since then the cost of living has skyrocketed in western Canada. So needless to say, something as simple as $600-900 can make or break me. Do you have any good ideas on the best bang for the buck beginner set-up. Ive asked you before but that was a year or so ago. since then ive been able to save a little money. this rc hobby is my only vice and it keeps me sane.😛

The new Mini 3 is a bit more expensive than the Mini 2, but the mini 2 is dropping in price so things may even out eventually. FPV is difficult for sure but everyone who tried it and stuck with it began at level zero. Unfortunately if you fly DJI drones then it is even harder to learn FPV because the DJI drones are designed for first time pilots where the FPV drones are not. I learned this first hand as I use to only fly DJI drones long ago. Get yourself a BetaFPV Cetus all in one FPV kit and that will slowly get you into the hobby.

Nice! Whats a good PNP/BNF FPV Drone that maybe comes Analog stock, and then i can add my new O3 Air Unit that i already have. It seems i should of just waited to buy a BNF with the O3 already in it but i think its been too long to return it, plus i bought it so that i could use it with my FPV V2 Goggles and RC2 or Frsky RX depending on how it comes and how it feels really.. Then i will get either Crossfire or ELRS i think.. Im looking for that $150-200 fpv drone youre talking about that would be fine for a beginner pilot to basically learn on for as long as it lasts. Because like you said, i probably cant feel the difference between a 150/200$ drone and a 350$ analog version drone like these.. Once i learn and crash a bunch of times, then ill buy the nice fpv drone i want like the iFlight Nazgul F6x. I have only a few hrs of Acro sim time and then maybe 5hr total of fpv flying in Angle mode on a super old analog fpv drone with a FC from 2016 lol, but it worked and deff took some abuse. I basically never hovered in place unless you constantly were adjusting it, but then again it didnt have gps or anything like that just the bare minimum. Im also not against going diy especially if i can get the nicer frames, but i wouldnt want to build anything smaller than 30x30 in a 5/6". The problem is that i dont know what the name brands are and what arent and whats a good deal and whats overpriced for what it is. I dont mind spend money on better quality but only really as far as better components or more reliability.

If you have lots of older FPV drones with a digital Vista or DJI Air unit, then it is less of a problem to just use your old DJI FPV goggles with them. If you want to begin using the O3 system then it makes sense to purchase the new Goggles 2. Because if you don’t then you’ll have to change the firmware on the old drones to work with any goggles that work with the O3 units.

Great review, very thorough as always. Million dollar question: I am a new to the FPV game. Currently doing sim stuff with a DJI controller I bought.

FPV is really an uphill journey if you wish to get into the full hobby. So much to learn with programming radios, understanding batteries and chargers, work with receivers and Betaflight Configurator. Everyone who began in the FPV hobby started at level zero. Learning to fly an FPV drone with no assistance is massively hard. Now since you are used to DJI it means you’d have to learn how to fly all over, so it may be a good idea to get the Avata because the Normal and Sport modes are exactly the same as the drones you own and those modes are designed for beginners because the drone does all the work. If you fly in DJI manual mode then it is similar to the real FPV flying. You’ll crash the Avata often learning to fly in true FPV but it is strong and should handle it. So I’d say learn to Fly real FPV in manual mode on the Avata and then when you’re good try your hand at the RC Hobby and you’ll then only have to learn how everything works as you’ll already have FPV flying experience.

I didn’t see a deadcat at the time I made this review.

Will the v1 air unit and camera work in this frame so I can upgrade to the 03 in the future thanks

When I review a new quad, it is always straight of the box with no changes to PIDS/RATES.

How much weight this dron can cary?

Would you recommend this over the new Nazgul5 V3 O3 6S HD? I am looking for a good cinematic travel drone, a little bit more powerful (yet not crazy high speed) than the Explorer LR 4 HD DJI O3 Sub250 for my adventure trips. I am also considering the iFlight BOB57 O3 too. Out of the two 5 inches and the BOB57 what do you think would fit perfectly in the travel/cinematic category? new Geprc Mark 5 / Nazgul V3 / BOB57 ?

The NAZGUL and MARK5 are super nice FPV Drones. Way different than your Explorer and way more capable in the FPV hobby (they are not long range but rather true FPV drones). You can't go wrong with either.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i actually ended up ordering the iFlight BOB 57 it’s a 6” cinematic long range with freestyle capabilities, and with a 1800 6s lipo it can fly around 9-12mins with a 3000 I can push it to 15-16mins.

Just I bought a Mrk5 Vista kit and Go pro 11 full one week a go to the date! Haha 😂 im feeling really obsolete right now 😅

Anyone know why default betaflight config from GepRC has FC Loop set at 4K??? Seems less than 50% CPU load when changed to 8K...

Hmmm... never noticed. Flys great out of the box.

Good evening

What do you do with all of your quads when you’re done with them?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

I hang onto the ones I like and the others I sell so that I can buy new ones to review.

@4:41 the other option is to get the dead-cat design .. and the props are not in view. Is there anything wrong with that one? Why did you only pick the X-design to review?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

X is more balanced. Deadcat is best if you plane to film with the DJI O3.

Wich battery need to by?

Hello! Is the frame compatible with Caddx Vista. I have DJI Goggles 2 which I use with my Pavo20 + DJI O3. But I want to try 5" frame with less expensive VTX from Caddx Vista. Thanks.

They do make an older VISTA model which is extremely good (one of the best)

​@@CAPTAINDRONE798Hallo. Can i fly the Geprc Mark 5 with the DJI Googles V2 and the DJI remote Controller 2? Greatings from Germany...

Do you set mini three to a small circle. If so what distance

@CAPTAINDRONE798

11 ай бұрын

Yes, it is in POI tracking mode. Distance is simple whatever looks good on video.

Will this be a great drone for smooth, slow, cinematic footage with a GP 11 mini?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

5 ай бұрын

Not slow footage as it is much too large. Look for a 2” prop drone for that.

Does the O3 heat much? I got one and it heats like almost muilt !!!

@CAPTAINDRONE798

The heat is from the video output. It needs to be flying or else it will get hot sitting on the ground plugged in.
