So like I said I have DJI goggles v2 and DJI controller 2 and I want to use it with my Geprc - it says if I order PNP they won’t add a receiver because I’m using O3 system - what does it mean exactly? I want a DC version that doesn’t require a gopro for “propellerless” footage without a GoPro. Does it mean that I need to order something extra with the drone?

@@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.
Gorgeous beast of a drone. Geprc is on 🔥 with this and the cinebot

@@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. All in all, Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's **** lol I got my dad into this now as well haha so I'll at least always have a wingman. So thank you for also bringing us closer as well We don't agree on much but this is definitely amazing so thank you!!!!

@@CAPTAINDRONE798idk if my other comment posted but needless to say, I had my maiden flight with the mark 5 yesterday. Was amazing. Short lived. Only one battery. Ordered batteries from Amazon and went out again today. Listened to your advice and got 4S even though it's rated for 6S. Needless to say, I crashed. 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. I don't think I would have a drone that didn't just require props to be switched. You also brought myself and dad closer together and I'll always have a wingman now. He went and ordered his drone same night after flying mine. Thank you for the how to beginner videos and making my father and myself that much closer.
Nice review. I’ve just bought the frame going build it up myself, went orange though make sure I can find it easier if the worse ever happens

Been learning to fly with a self built Mark 4. It flies pretty well, not that I have anything to compare it to…I like some of the upgrades that the mark 5 has…might build an HD version once I’m more comfortable with my abilities as a pilot. Currently flying los. And just got the rest of the gear needed to FPV with my DJI v2 goggles. Excited for better weather!

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.

Not better, but rather different. The iFLIGHT looks like a million bucks and it is large with 6" props. The MARK 5 is a 5" drone in an X frame, so if you are buying for FREESTYLE, the mark 5 wins. If you are buying for other things, the iFlight wins.
I ordered this one, too. So far all my FPV drones have been based on your recommendations: Cetus X, Pavo25, Cinelog35 V2, Cinelog20, and Mark 5! Hopefully that is all I need! The last three ones are with the O3 system although I still have to manually install the O3 system in the Cinelog 35 V2 (after removing the analog system). Hope I don’t destroy it! Still waiting for the last two to be delivered!

I made a video years ago about AMERICANS that think CHINA operates under the same consumer guidelines. There is NO... "the customer is always right" in CHINA, and there is no "please send it back to us for repair". If ever you receive something like an FPV drone from CHINA and you have an issue... NEVER SEND IT BACK. Instead, identify the problem (usually a flight controller) and ask them to send you the replacement part and 99% of the time they do.
Great review, Thank you! I fly large model 700/800 helis 3D and will be trying FPV for my first time with an Avata on the way. The plan of action is to get the initial experience with the Avata and take advantage of all its safety features. Once settled, sell the air frame and migrate to the GEPRC M5 as I will naturally gravitate towards freestyle flying. Do you think that is an appropriate path? Simulator training given, what else should I focus on?

Flying FPV is all about hand/eye coordination. It does not come natural and takes practice. The flying is 50% of the up hill battle, the other 50% is learning how everything in the RC hobby works and is configured. The more research you have the better the understanding. You could watch my old video series on getting into the FPV hobby. Do a KZread search for CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS.

There is no BEST drone in the FPV world because it comes down to what the pilot can do. Both of these FPV drones are super good, so go for the one at the lower price.
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.

Hello sir, what drone is better for freestyle or cinematic. Please give me a best list between the Mark5, the iflight Nazgul f5 and the HGLRC sector x5. Thank you so much. I would be more than happy for an answer. 🙏

Hey. Thx for the video. Maybe someone can answer a few questions for me as I am a newbie. On the Geprc homepage u can choose different option of this drone (three 4S and three 6S models) what are the differences? As the vary around 50$ in price. Which batteries are the best to recommend? So between weight & power. So is a 3000 mA battery too big for example? Thx in advance 🙏🏽

Answers to your questions are: 6s gives longer flight time and more power in tricky situations. Battery should be a 1300 mAh lipo.

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. I have a Mavic Air and a Phantom 4 so I am familiar with DJI. Would you recommend this GepRC as my first FPV or an Avata? I have to buy goggles and a controller anyways.

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.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks! Exactly the well thought out answer I was looking for. Thanks again!
Is this better than the flywoo explorer?
Hey Captain! You’ve spent quite some time on showing how propellers are affecting the footage while using O3 on various settings. Shame you have not mentioned that this exact drone also comes in DC (Dead Cat) configuration which greatly reduces that problem. Thanks for the review tho. I’m FPV newbie and I’m not willing to carry extra cam on it and only relay on O3 system and for that reason I went with a DC configuration. Cheers!

The X vs Deadcat is mentioned many times on my channel, as long as you are a subscriber. When this vid was made, last month, the option of DEADCAT was not available. I get products often before they are launched to the public and the reviews are made early and launched later. The info I have is relevant at that time.

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.
