#hglrc #captaindrone
Just got this delivered to me today and is my first FPV drone. All that time I have spent in my sims trying to prepare me for the real thing is not enough lol. Simply amazed at how much power and sensitive this little guy is. Trying to maintain throttle is the biggest challenge. It takes off straight up like a rocket with the slightest push up on the stick. Going to have to find a very big field to practice in. I can tell this thing will be a blast once I get a hang of it though. Mine came with 2 full sets of props as well.
This onboard footage reminds me of my first fpv, the geprc s16,I'm so glad I am fortunate enough to have switched to HD drones early in my fpv journey,the difference in video quality is like watching an 80's pirated video and a full on 4k dvd lol
Geez Captain !!; forget about sending out the "Captain Drone Stickers"!!!!; lets see the Captain Drone "Landing Pads" !!!!; great review and amazing with the Insta 360 on board!; who needs a three axis gimble !!!!!
Nice toothpick. Looks like a great Christmas gift for my grandson, or me😂. Thanks for the review. 👍👍😀
Thanks for watching! I'm certain he will enjoy it!
Thing is pretty sweet! I have four 5 inch quads. I need to start my little quad collection. You can basically fly it anywhere. Im sure my neighbors love when im flying my quad 100mph over their houses 😂
This thing is cool they need a Vista version or 03 AU!!
Finally a fpv video, nice drone
Excellent tutorial review video. Nice FPV Drone. Thank you Captain Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
You did that right. While SPI receivers are convenient, if you want to get some distance, use a external RX on a UART.
Wow, reminds me a lot of my Tinyhawk 2 freestyle. Only downside to quads these size are if it is at all windy, you'll be knocked around in the air. Would be great for bando rippin' in a single room. I like that it has an xt30 rather than the ph2.0
Can't do FPV, but still stop by for support! Hope all is well, and thanks for all the videos.
Much appreciated
One of only 3 channels that i have notifications on. The reason honesty and learning about this hobby. Thank u.
I appreciate that!
a hug from a follower from Portugal
Thank you
Did they really intend to call it Draknight or was that a typo?
Who knows. Drones from Asia often have Asian names that don't translate well to English.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeah I've seen some of the names they use but I thought maybe they meant 'darknight' lol
😂
It’s name in Chinese is 龙骑士, which means Dragon Knight if translated directly into English. And I think they just don’t have enough space to put “gon” in its product name.
Fun Video.
Epic Drone.
I am a Great supporter of your channel. You just tell us as it is.
A question if I may? What winter gloves do you use especially for cold days? Your response is greatly appreciated.
Let’s keep warm and flying this winter.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Unfortunately I have never found gloves that allow me to operate joysticks well for FPV drones, so when I fly in the winter I remove my thick gloves and slip on a pair of skin tight gloves that are good for a few minutes before I need to put the warmer gloves back on.
nice piece of kit Steve looked at the price very nice. i'm going of drone's a bit getting more into FPVs and Heli's more enjoyable great review again Captain. {hope your good lady dosen't see the dent's in the wall}
I’m hoping she does not watch the vid 😅
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun video ! 😃
I love watching you review all the latest and greatest drones and rc gear.
Thanks Cap !
Glad you like them!
Awesome.
Would be nice to have a WS version. I have had mixed luck with the ant camera. Some work great, others are junk.
Agree with that. When they work, they are great. When they work.........
Flys like butter, Steve? 😄
Just think if they could incorporate a wind tunnel in them that would provide enough power for continuous flying. 😅
What a powerhouse Steve. Luv this ripper product. 💗👊💪🇺🇸✌️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
How easily would it be to bind this to a radio master pocket? Will the fact that the elrs version is spi make a big difference?
It would bind easy to any ELRS receiver as long as the receiver and transmitter (the Pocket) are on the same firmware.
I turned mine pusher.
Love it!!!
Great video! Why do all Americans and Canadians have carpet in the living room?
In Canada we have it due to cold winters. Even if we have hardwood floors, we will throw a rug over them as it is warm on the feet during the colder months.
Have you been checking out the latest FPV from Betafpv? The Aquila 16 🙂
👌
Hey Steve, do you have to put screws in the props when flying?
Not required, just press on props
I like the look of the aluminum top. Kind of looks like a Tesla Truck if it is real? Good value and it's steady. Love the name too. So what do you do last night? Oh man it was a DrakNight.
Just got my draknight today. Very nice looking out of the box. Waiting on batteries and elrs controller.
No manual is included in the box and the link provided leads only to a chinese manual. I'll text support. Maybe they have updated by now.
FPV drones rarely come with manuals as they are very straightforward.
I received my draknight yesterday, and it seems the wing part has been upgraded to aluminum.. Haven't tested for now,
How would this compare to the 2023 BetaFPV HX115 SE as far as noise level, flight time, and maneuverability? Thanks!
Cool channel i like it
can you install a 1s walksnail vtx with nano camera
Looks exactly like ymz lightning1 with a different base frame.
How does this compare to the flywoo 2s 2.0 ?
I only started flying FPV when digital was introduced as I didn’t like the look of analog but this is temping 😅
Digital is great, but analog will always be around for the small stuff. With a good VTX and camera, analog can be enjoyable.
Does anyone what version of elrs this would be on out of the box if I got the elrs version
v3.0 the web site says
Definitely an fpv pilots landing:)
Which would you recommend this drone or the EMAX tinyhawk III? I plan to get analog. This would be my first FPV drone I have flown line of sight drones before.
The TinyHawk is a great little quad, but it has ducts, so is a different category then this one. If you are going to be flying inside, go with the TinyHawk. If your going to be outside, go with this one, or a TinyHawk Freestyle.
@@ChainsawFPV which would you suggest between this one and the freestyle?
@@jamesburns8722 I have never flown this one, so can not speak to its quality. I have had a few of the TH Freestyle, and they are a blast. They have been around for years, a quality manufacturer, pieces are easily replaceable, can run on 1s or 2s. Light and nimble, they make the smallest parks seem huge.
I find all EMAX analog small drones have limited range, with early breakup.
Thanks!
HGRLC still making them chitty boards mang?
Hello Steve. Do you happen to have the CLI dump of the Draknight or know of a FPV community that may have it? BetaFlight 'reset' my Draknight one day and I don't know the settings for the camera and the rear lights.
If I had a penny for everytime time someone new to the FPV hobby clicked on the Betaflight update button and then asked me for a dump file, I’d be a rich man for certain and have no time to do anything else. Whenever I make Betaflight configuration videos I warn people of this because people who come from the DJI world or similar type drones have grown up on constantly clicking firmware update buttons. Don’t do this in the FPV hobby. Every FPV drone company knows first timers will do this so those companies usually provide the dump file on their website in the downloads section. If you can’t locate it then simply email them and ask for it. Good luck!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Appreciate the tip, Steve.
Are there any 2s FPV drone you can review or no?
Great video cool drone nice set up
Much the same as theYMZFPV Lightening 1, this one is all alloy, and flys much the same! A
Hey @CAPTAIN DRONE what would you recommend if I’m a novice at the fpv hobby
Get one of the many RTF (Ready To Fly) FPV kits I’ve reviewed
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you
What sort of vtx range with the rtf bundle should one expect? I’m new to fpv, and I can’t even travel a .25 acre without so much white noise that I can hardly see. I guess it could be an interference issue but also wondering if there’s something not right?
It sounds like you may have come from the Beginner GPS Camera drone world where you are stuck with the drone you get in the box. In the FPV Drone hobby it is up to you to modify your drone in any capacity you wish. So if you want longer range, and you can't increase the output power, and you don't want to replace the VTX, you then replace the antenna on the VTX and on your goggles to increase reception. If your drone drone has no antenna to replace, well that is your problem.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 hey captain, I have this exact drone with the hglrc kit. Sorry I just said the rtf bundle assuming you’d know what I meant.
So, with stuff included in the kit, I am not getting anywhere near the range you are getting in this video. I’m assuming that is because of your goggles then? I think that’s basically the only difference with respect to video quality. No issue with control. Just becomes white interference in the video at very short range.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 actually I figured it out… I’m a newb so the vtx was set at 200 mw (default)
Ordered one of these with express shipping. Any idea how long it takes for HGLRC to ship directly? It’s been about a week now and no drone:(
Can you look at your account/shipment status? For me, in Canada, most items ordered take a week and a half to two weeks.
Looks like a great little drone
did yours have terrible vibration? did you have to return yours? mine did not fly well out of the box. but that could just be mine.
What you saw in my review video is the quad straight out of the box. Any FPV drone with vibrations is simply due to the props.
Neat little drone and review Steve.
Tried the ymzfpv? They look similar.
I’m currently been flying both my spark and mini 3 pro and want to know what is the best FPV beginner kit to start with basically ready to go out of the box that includes everything I will need to get started ❓
Thank you
Check out the ones I reviewed from sub250 (whoopfly16) or Geprc (cinego) or BetaFPV (Cetus Pro)
is there room for Walksnail 1s kit?)
CAPTAIN He we are AGAEN from Brazil!!! Please tell me … this Draknight suports a Naked go pro?
If you know how to power your naked gopro, then yes.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks AGAEN! Since I have watched your little Draknight WITH a INSTA 360… I started to think a out that Flywoo Naked above it
Very nice!
Love this drone got it when it came out change the props to more racey props now it super fast
I have the crossfire version manual doesn't help can uou tell me how to unlock vtx without betaflight thx . Love your channel
I simply changed it in Betaflight configurator
Can you tell me what you did? Did you have to download anything from hglrc does it matter if I have old betaflight configurator and can't upgrade it no internet connection. Thx please help
@@anthonycadejr3995Again… I simply set up the MODES, OSD and VTX TRANSMISSION in BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR. If none of that makes sense then you really need to do some research and learn how to use that software because that is the software everyone in the FPV hobby has to use.
It makes sense just need to know what steps you took in betaflight vtx tab to unlock vtx can't get R8 or any channels past 5 to show without flashing your video is great . On mine all channels past five don't especially R band that's what I need to use r8 to stay above wifi stay in a high wifi area thx for taking your time out highly appreciated thx
awsome review captain
Thank you!
Decent footage
So what im understanding is that these particular exposed drones cant be flown even through mist, let alone slight drizzle. Those exposed circuit board is saying, come here water. Ruin me.
Google conformal coating
Rain, certainly not as you'd probably fry the VTX first. Mist, should not be an issue. Back in the day all circuit boards were fully exposed to the environments and we all flew all year round in all types of weather.
Is it the same drone as that ymzfpv sells?
I was thinking the same thing it looks identical
I'm not sure. Check out the specs, construction, flight controller, VTX and motors to see if they match.
i meant just the frame. I'm sure HGLRC has put their hardware on it to make it different.@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Don't understand the motors on 2in. Companies use,I fly my 2in. 2s on at least 1103's,way way better
What was prop size
2" props
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you Sir
seems like it could handle a Walksnail HD system instead of the taped-on thumb...should be about the same weight.
I would immediately buy it if it was available in walksnail!
It certainly could be converted to add walksnail, but I'd guess the price would increase by $75
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 im thinking about doing that thanks!
Day: 8
Of asking you to review the bubito fpv drone
Seriously please do
Edit: man is hearting my comments so he knows but doesn’t respond 💀
The 2s version is pretty cool too
Its a middle manned open prop whoop...
Watch Infinity Loops review of the Bubito, then look into the Odonata.
@@markitzero7408 i already watched his review it sucks
@@IronOre33 Yup!
1on1 cloned from YMZFPV? 😂
Sorry, but video quality is not acceptable :/
It’s fine, it’s your internet
