This is a great plane, it flys very well, no throttle control takes some getting used to, but also makes it beginner friendly. Some great chase footage!

Looks Great, Kelly! Thanks for sharing!

I remember that Park!! What a great place to fly and chat with fellow droners! Great review of the ZMO Fixed wing RC Kelly! Great to see that Kai (Lone Star UAV) is helping out the little guy! ;-)

Hi Kelly Great video and review of the VMO FPV aircraft. Well I'm out, I won't pay $1300 for Foam. This is not for the weekend flyers, but it is very nice that it came with its own case. I have been flying fix-wing for 50 years, and have seen this style craft plenty of times. It is nice to work with the DJI system and to have GPS. I just need to get VMO to send me one to review. Thanks again for the video and information

100% agree buddy not worth anywhere near the current prices...massively overpriced considering you even have to supply your own action cam for quality footage...makers are dreaming

With the DJI Goggles does it show the HUD? Also the max flight time isn’t 60 minute’s as advertised?

Which flight controller does the ZMO pro vtol use? How many channels does it support? Is it compatible with the Dragonlink v3 which operates @433mhz @1.5mw?

Hi Tom. I don't have the new Pro model, but briefly looking at the listing, it seems like the flight controller is upgraded. Also, there are a few options regarding which controller you get. To answer your second question, honestly, at that price, I think it's a bit risky to be your first flyer. If you have experience with FPV quads, maybe you'll be ok, but just be sure you know how to switch back to vertical mode whenever you need to. And, in case you didn't see what happened to mine, when there's a crash, it's expensive! 👇💸 kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmh8uqWRoLS3c7A.html

For some reason I can not get my ZMO to unlock take-off mode. The status light says GPS connected with flashing green lights. Also I am not able to enable GPS calibration. Any suggestions? does the GPS needs to be calibrated first before allowing take off?

@readysetdrone

Жыл бұрын

Hmm. I don't think we did any GPS calibration -- just the compass. Is your controller bound with your Air/Vista unit? It sounds like the problem could be with your controller or that it's not bound. I seem to remember that if you bind the controller before the Goggles, you might need to bind the controller again.

@sidneyking11

@@readysetdrone okay I will give that a try. In the manual the calibration is called GPS calibration, maybe they translated it wrong. it should be called compass calibration.

It there any way of knowing the battery level in flight?

@readysetdrone

Not that I can tell. But it will RTH automatically if the battery level gets too low. You only can tell by looking at the blinking lights.

It also has manual mode, so when flying as a plane, you can do rolls, etc. and the stabilization mode is turned off (RTH will not work when in manual mode).

Kelly, great video of the fixed wing, v-tail, VTOL, FPV drone. Looks like good build quality and yes, having it come with the protection storage/transportation case is great....I remember when the P4 original came with the EPF Foam case and was mocked as a "beer cooler"....But I knew of its material properties how tough that foam is....It has since taken off to be the primary RTF, BNF, or hobby built RC model aircraft build material..... Looks like ZMO has taken full advantage of that in their design of aircraft and case. Little pricey....Thinks its worth it? If it had a 1" CMOS 3'axis gimbal stabilization camera I would say yes. Nice it has the FVP camera. But both cameras would be cool... Thanks for review....How long was the flight times if you had the GoPro or DJI Action original as payload....Although Action 2 is lighter...Hmmmm.

@readysetdrone

Definitely a little in the pricey side, but it's a high quality experience. I haven't tested the full flight time with a GoPro / Action camera on board, but my guess would be around 30 to 40 minutes. Thanks for watching, Addy.

It uses the DJI video transmission technology, which requires the DJI FPV goggles, however, you can plug an Android device into the goggles and use that as your monitor. I haven't used that method as a primary view source to fly with, so I'm not sure if there is any problem with latency.

Great video and over view RSD. The price seems a little high but you may get better value with the Basic model at 899.00. It looks like the FC runs on Ardupilot firmware. If you use your own Radio transmitter and receiver [Radiomaster with TBS Crossfire] and a 1.3 Video set up you will still have a [perhaps even more] capable bird. Compare this set up with an MFD Nimbus, Orange Pixhawk FC and the aforementioned support equipment and the price is really not to outrageous. And with the ZMO you of course get VTOL capabilities right out the box. Again...Great video.

I just want a drone that I can fly and explore wildlife while I’m stuck in my semi truck is this drone good for that or would you recommend me something better?

I'd suggest the Air 2s or the DJI mini 2. Both of those are great drones and they acquire satellites for stable GPS flying, without any issues. Have a great time flying.

It looks really cool but I could never spend $1,100 on something made of foam. The flight time and range seems very impressive and I see that being a huge upside over a traditional drone.

I don’t think those two holes are the references for the CG. The body of the plane has a bump on the underside (it’s a protruding line) just before the section where the wing attaches to the body. I believe those are the bumps they are referencing.

It's a good product. Just a little outdated and overpriced. A fixed-wing VTOL airframe should be around 200 bucks. Plus all the accessories, and the DJI FPV unit. It should be somewhere around $600 for retail.

However, that doesn't mean it's not overpriced. You are essentially buying a PNP model for 900 bucks. Should you buy it? Sure, if you really want to experience some VTOL & fixed-wing FPV product, and if you have the money. And don't mind getting a soon/already outdated product.
