Great summary! Love that you did a full review of each and the final comparison. Great job pointing out each's weak points.
I've picked up the GEPRC and Diatone and hope to put both through their paces. First time flying digital (just got a DJI goggles bundle) so am looking forward to some longer range flying that I'm used to!
Oh man great! Buy a few 4sp 3000mah batteries. You’ll love it more
Thanks for taking the time to go over all of them.
You’re welcome Erik 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great review justin nice work as always !!
Great roundup, Justin! Been waiting for this one. Thanks for your thorough reviews.
You’re welcome David! Worked hard on this one! Thanks for joining up on my Patreon!!! ♥️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏁🏁🏁
@@dronecamps you bet, Justin. Happy to provide some Patreon support! You’ve probably saved me countless hours of mistakes and bad decisions.
Great review and the intro shots for the LR 4" just beautiful !!!
Thanks Nitro!
new to fpv only been playing with my cetus pro for about 6 months and looking at stepping up to a 4" this video helped out a ton thanks man
Another awesome review! Thank you for this. Everytime a new company comes out with their Dave_C long range version I just want to pull the trigger and buy it now. But I decided to wait and see what my man Justin had to say.
I just got my Roma L4 today and after a little tinkering and filing the fins I got a full size DJI Air Unit installed in the back . It actually fits very solidly without the need for any 3d printed parts or tape, and also still allows for the factory gps/crossfire mount. Now that I've got onboard 1080p recording onboard no need for a heavier action camera for my needs. Just have to figure out the lightest weight electronics setup with out compromising efficiency and quality.
Nice review of some great flyers 👌.. cool info to know 👍.. thanks...
*Justin!* Love the content broddah 🤙 I still am getting use to my cinewhoop but these long range look awesome 😎.
Is there *any antenna's or system that I can apply to my cinewhoop or transmitter to make it more long range?*
Thanks for the shootout...very good
Great info. I watched the video twice.. So much info... Thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You did a great job showing off this bad ass drone!
I've been waiting on this shootout video! Truly appreciate the efforts and time it took to review these competing quads. Guess I'll be picking up the Baby Croc this weekend. Once again, appreciate it bro.
I guess Im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Allan Francis Instablaster ;)
@Edwin Dorian thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Edwin Dorian it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Allan Francis Glad I could help =)
I love these 4" lrs. Perfect quad for me. I have the novice 4 and love it.
Super super informative. I know what I'm buying now!
I have the Flywoo and your right the tune is great smooth , only complaint is that the OSD glitches out once in awhile. Still great quad I really like it 👍🏻
@@flexplexico480 thanks bro will give it a try
Hey Justin, been watching tons of your reviews with drones. Awesome content and great summary. Im in the market for a bind and fly drone, where I mostly use it for some chase scene and I love mountain dives. Im currently using the DJI FPV where I think I have reached its limit, especially with its range, with a bi blades I can only get up to 15 mins of flight time.
I don’t do freestyle at all, so I’m wondering if I should get the 5”, 6” or 7”? I know the 7” would deliver the best flight time, but I’m also worry if I won’t be able to do chase scene with it. Appreciate if you can advise me here. Thanks mate!
Great video, definitely need one of these. You mention an Insta360 Go as an onboard camera. Is there some way to record for longer than 5min clips? Cheers!
Yes the new Go 2 records up to 30mins.
Based on your video I'm building a diatone with The Gap RC motors and flight control and I'm wondering if a tarsie camera will fit in the diatone frame
My flywoo explorer didn't come with the insta360 go mount! I thought it was supposed to come with one! Finally got mine after months of waiting. Hopefully will get a chance to fly it this weekend!
I finally saw the iflight Chimera with the 3800 kv motors and dead cat frame at the hobby shop today but have yet to see anyone do a review on it yet. That thing looks and performs better from what I hear. I'm thinking about getting that one like Bardwell suggests.
Thanks dude for sharing
Great reviews. I love how detailed you get on the specs. I do have a question and maybe I'd be better off building something. Out of all the options it looks like with the 2700kv or 3000kv motors are technically 6s motors? is that correct? If you had a beefy enough stack like a 20x20 35a stack like the Chimera couldn't you simply swap out to a 5s or 6s battery and then you would have a very competent Freestyle option and then simply swap out to a 4s LiOn and go long range? What am I missing. I don't hear anyone talk about this. To me it's a very important option to be able to do both? Can you help me figure out what I'm missing? Only thing I dont like on the Chimera is the props in view I'd defiately gonna look at the Deadcat style frame.
I’m really interested in this new micro lr category, I’ve just been have trouble deciding which one to buy. I was hoping to hear your opinions of the analog versions since I will be going that route. I was leaning towards the Geprc crocodile baby with its 600mw vtx and Caddx Ratel camera before watching and by the looks of it I’m on the right track. Thanks for the micro lr roundup.
Yw. Ratel is my fav analog cam. Go for it. Upgrade later to 800mw.
The analog camera on the chimera 4 is crap. It's a caddyx something idk
The v2 of the analog Flywoo has a Caddx Ratal Baby and 850mW, and can hit sub250 (BARELY!) carrying a normal 850mAh 4S. The HD is just a bit too heavy to do that.
You'll need to do some trickery if you want to record HD while flying this thing in that config. You can put a Runcam Split Nano in there, but you'd be giving up the Caddx Ratal to do it.
You can also use an ultralight camera and sacrifice some flight time on a 650mAh.
They say they upgraded the GPS, and reviews on Flywoo's website claim to confirm this. Faster and more secure locks with higher satellite counts.
Nice comparison, however the flywoo still had its 360 mount on when you weighted the individual drones. I guess the flywoo would be the lightest of them all :D
Thank you for sharing this content! Would it be possible to move all the components of the Baby Croc to a Flywhoo frame in order to get the best out of the two? Thanks in advance!
Just look to make sure the FC mounting holes match up.
Man..that Coast line and sand clouds coming back! epic!
Quality flights and Shootout Justin, loving the long range options out there! GEPRC for the win again! Good shiz dude! 👌👌.M.
Thanks Mike. Trying to make vids with epic views for you guys! Not just a soccer field!
@@dronecamps Two thumbs up from me dude! Absolute Class. 🏞👌👌
hi! I built the same quad on the iflight frame, can you share the pids, please, from flywoo? you say it was the best tuned , thanks
Justin. you can also add this to your review Eachine SHADOW FIEND LR 4S
I'm so bummed. I had my fingers crossed for the OG Flywoo. I don't own any of them because I've been waiting for all the reviews to finish.
Any chance you’ll do an updated version of this now that some have been updated and there’s new options on the market?
The best lr 4 inch is the Flywoo explorer frame with camera protector (use the same style camera protector that's on the geprc), arm end protectors and crossfire immortal antenna tpu removed. Iflight dual gyro 20×20 stack and motors (kv is your choice), crossfire (ziptie antenna to last standoff), dji Vista and 4s geprc or flywoo li ion. Add any gps. Done.
Are you going to review CIRO 4LR from Avantquads ? looks like they are last to join the party but with something that might be best overall
Well you can see on the thumbnail the fastest quad ever seen 😂
Really nice vid’ as always 😉
Haha mega mini power! 😂😂😂
Best shootout award 🥇
Thanks Scott 🤘🏻🏆
Can you name me the Vtx of highest power that have good antannas can be used in a night eagle 2 pro ( a night vision camera )?.
thanks for the info
great video
Thanks for the video, I want to buy the baby croc, which budget goggles and receiver do you recommend just to get me going? I'll buy better in the future, thanks
Your information is so clear and well presented, great video
Looking like you getting ready to audition for Super Troopers...hehe just playing around thanks for all the info.
Ahahahaha yes. I do feel I look “cop-like” or maybe a stand in for Reno 911. 🤣
Justin I'm new to the FPV world. Learning on tiny whoop and sim now. Going to get the Baby Croc. However what charger should I invest in to charge the LionPack Battery for Baby Croc and will that charger also charge the regular Lipo? The charging of these batteries is the only thing I'm having trouble with. Thanks
Try the ToolkitRc M6D with the optional Ac adapter
@@dronecamps ok, thanks
Please help, how do I know if my goggles, controler and drone is going to work together?
Waiting for iflight Protek35 review!
what is the best long range antenna for Vista?
Why do you like the flat dead cat arms so much, what's the difference ? Is it only for looks ?
Thumbs up. I use the geprc 2750 for my helicopter's tail. But I use the flywoo lr4 v2's f745 flight controller for my helicopter. It is a helicopter, so it flies 35 minutes at 250 grams takeoff with hd video recording. But it is very picky about wind.
did you test rth on these lots of people are saying they are crap
I would like to add one more factor | jungle like factor, around big trees etc. reception an video quality!
How would you rate Reckon 4 LR to the baby crock?
Hi Justin thank you for the review , which one would you recommend for an analog setup ?
Geprc one
@@dronecamps thank you
Yw
Which of the 4 quads has the longest range out of the box? I don't mean longest flight time but range performance. I have yet to see a review showing the potential of any of these quads and I feel that this would make for a very interesting video. Crossfire equipped its the video link you would expect to fail first, hence which has the best components out of the box providing the best range?
What if u fly the Roma with 3000KV with a 3s 1100 (66gr) and Analog Setup with a Splitcam?! Anyone tested? I like the Roma Frame and the 20mm Stack:)
Thank you sir
You’re welcome HP
Fantastic review brother as far as fpv your channel and Joshua Bardwell are the best in my opinion
What camera angle do you recommend to run on these for a beginner flyer?
15 degrees
Cool
My Flywoo Explorer would just shut down on every flight and fall from the sky from day one. Replaced the stack with an Iflight 20x20 and now it fly's great. Customer support no help.
flywoo QC is doign great? i ordered my Explorer LR August 16th and still have yet to fly it more than 90 seconds because of the shitty FC/VTX. Still waiting on replacement parts - biggest waste of money i've ever spent in FPV
Mine is ok. Like I said in the vid the most unreliable from what I’ve read and heard
Do you think there is enough room for a full dji unit in there thanks :)
Likely not
Can you comment on benefits and downsides for 4 inch vs 7 inch for long range and maybe even 6 inch?
You can go further with 7”. Longer flight times.
@@dronecamps thanks for the info!
Under DJI system baby croc is the winner, but can i ask in analog ver?
The only 2 things I don’t like on the Diatone is the nebula camera (but that maybe a supply issue) and no external buzzer. With the Baby Croc I not biggest fan of F411 FCs either. Will be interesting to see what the Eachine version is like.
For sure. Mine should be here this week. Hope to test soon for you guys.
The diatone comes with a buzzer though, you just have to solder it on if you want it.
@@nicjansma as far as I know that's a normal buzzer not a self powered one like on Flywwo and GepRC ones
@@ChrisCroft77 Oh that could be true! Haven't put mine on yet
It's worth mentioning that the analog versions of these quads will be slightly lighter.
Flywoo in particular advertises that the analog version will just barely slide in under 250g all up carrying an 850mAh.
The Diatone and Baby Croc in analog flavors can also do this.
The Chimera ... I don't know what its dry weight is on analog, but being such a more substantial aircraft, I doubt it can hit 250g without some serious trouble, even on analog.
What BNF long-range drone is available? I do not use goggles would prefer using my phone for viewing drone live video feed. What do you recommend?
Nothing with your phone. Too laggy vid for for these type of drones. They are high speed. You need real-time video.
u can use a lcd display with a radio receiver built in. don't know if it works long range, but it does okay when i fly my drone around the house and the yard. goggles still the best option
What’s the best controller/receiver to go long distance with the baby croc?
On a budget tho don’t need the most expensive
Crossfire Nano
heyyyyy the mustache works 4 ya keep it...
what you all think from these drones? really think the GepRc is the way to go for best long range+freestyle drone? i liked more the flywoo and Diatone. sorry new to this and still cant decide for the right drone ....
Geprc all the way. I fly LR all the time.
@@dronecamps so it beats even the Flywoo Explorer right? If i buy separate the DJI goggles and controller then GepRc. Is it ready to go for me or do i have to buy different radio and receiver etc? I would like to fly lets say in forests and far away from me,so dont wanna loose any signal. Thank you for answer
cool
These Flywoo Explorers are all over YT right now... hmmmmm...
Also, I wanna get one and make it sort of bulky- then call it the "FlyMoo"- give it the Hey Now Brown Cow look WITH patches. Lol
Haha yes flymoo! 😂😘🤘🏻
Long live the Stache... I rock one too
4:47 🤔 what was that?
Flywoo for me was and still is the best......
Hi, i search a copter under 250g and analog vtx with a long flight time, have you a idea, iam from Germany and my Englisch istn´t good, sorry, nice channel.
This drone with a 4s 650mah battery.
What about the shadow fiend
Check my vid. Just did a review and placed it in this shootout.
Do you guys all coordinate your video releases? Seems like all the major youtubers come out with the same kind of videos at the same time. Albert just released his comparison yesterday.
Was his as epic? 😉 Yeah that was weird. I saw that last night. However I didn’t watch it. It probably because we both have the same quads.
@@dronecamps In my opinion you have the beautiful art shots and great flying experience info to help me part with my cash for this hobby :-). I goto Albert's for the edge case discussions like - how many UARTS, electrical characteristics tech detail. Both information sources are important to the hobby and I sub to both YT channels!
@@dronecamps LOL More technical than epic. I was just curious because all the major FPV guys seem to release similar vids at similar times. Must just be timing due to release of the gear.
Yeah we bring different styles. I can’t dive too deep into the technical. I fall asleep. I appreciate him and watch his vids too.
Yeah it’s mostly that we’ve all been testing these and now have a pile of them on the bench! Our minds are always thinking of the next video to make.
@@dronecamps it's good to get different view points as well.
Nooooo my baby crocodile came setup for gps also!!
Shit all the self powered buzzers I’ve found were cheapest at 12$
nice overview of 4" LR quads. shame iflight didn't send/used the deadcat version of the chimera4. Oh and stop using Instant360 Go on LR quads, it makes NO sense.
Long range quad!! Freestyle?
Yes
I just don't get it. JB's review of the Roma F4 showed what a terrible tune it had with tons of jello an wobbling and then another reviewer says it has a great tune?? LOL. I wonder if they sent different tunes out?
I’m sure they did. Diatone is known for sending me quads without a tune. I have tuned many of their prototypes and shared with people over the years.
22 mins in and 9 adverts already ... This takes the P*SS !
so the best one is?
It’s in the video 😂
Love you videos Justin but the mustache is creepy 🤣🤣🤣
Quit creepin on me weirdo! 🤣🤣🤣
@@dronecamps love ya bro❤❤❤❤❤
✊🏻
Nice mustache
Yes
The FC of my Explorer died after the second flight. Flywoo is sending me a replacement for free, but still...
Glad they’re doing that. I’m hoping the new ones come with 20a escs.
WHO WON?
It’s in the video. 😂
Far far far to many adverts 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Sorry have to eat!
