Yes,,, I have one that managed 25 miles with only 50 milliwatts... it is impressive.. but the power output of only one watt really let me down because it is next to impossible to deal with floor noise..
@xjet Bruce... I have been thinking about a dish for a quite a while... but it needs a proper tracker to swing it around... all in good time I guess, though I am itching to try it out! No as much for the radio control... but really curious how it will affect the video range! :)
Thanks for the great video. It seems like DL can also be connected to the MFD crossbow mini head tracker via BlueTooth and to the Taranis via PPM using a regular receiver so that DL can be a stand-alone unit. Hoping you can teach all you can about this promising system.
Thank you so much for the content; I always look forward to your videos. Could you compare and contrast the TBS crossfire with telemetry to the DragonLink system you have just demonstrated. They look similar in their ability to carry a MAVLink signal back.
Awesome post as always. I’ve been curious about this system. I’ve been using the TBS crossfire for some time. Do you have any experience with TBS? Just curious what your thoughts are on TBS vs Dragon Link. I understand one runs on 433 vs 900. Thus far I’ve had zero issues with TBS but will be acquiring dragon link in the future for testing.
ArxangelRC in comparison to DL and long range, everyone agrees DL is the winner. I have it on my wish list. Gotta stop stop watching ur videos...it’s costing me to much $$$ ; ). Lol
Hey, you might want to look at QCZEK LRS. A DIY long range system that derived from modifying Lora modules both on 433 and 868. I've use it for at least half a year and it's works nicely. Although it's not as powerful as Dragonlink, it does have limited telemetry capability and quite cheap too. At least you can use it as an entry level LRS system before jumping to the Dragonlink like I do :)
Hey, you might try change the TX antenna for the first upgrade. The stock monopole antenna is great, but its not finely tuned for 433, its more like dual band 144/430 for ham radios and I've check the vswr is just terible. You might upgraded it to moxon or dipole antenna, or may even a yagi although it's quite overkill :D. And you might interested with EzWifiBroadcast/OpenHD for the video side, it's a diy digital video that offers long range capability.
Yes, I am aware of the OpenHD project... though I haven't looked at it yet! Don't see a reason to change antennas yet... since my video range has no chance of pushing the DragonLink, at this time... but all in good time I hope! :)
@@ArxangelRC Yep, OpenHD is a more mature version from EzWifi and have more features. Actually you can use FPV, telemetry and aircraft control via one single system/frequency on OpenHD (ie. no need for remote control), but i still use my 433 anyway for comfort :D. And yeah, stock antenna is more than sufficient, but just in case, lol
DrsgonLink is a great system. But... there are a number of issues that I found. 1. I too have Bluetooth and I have never been able to get it to work. This leads me to point 2. 2. Yes, it is very easy to get the system running at its basic level. Trying something more complex is another matter. I find that the instructions are very lacking. The instructions are spread out in various places on the web site. The photos in the instructions do not match up with the receiver the instructions are about, and they just do not make sense. 3. They are always sold out of several components. 4. It seems to me that Mr. Bigalow is the only person behind DragonLink making all the people who buy the system dependant on only one person. I am really looking forward to your next video on the DragonLink.
Have not yet gotten into the more complex stuff... will see if I do, and will do a video on it! :) Indeed information is severely lacking and I have addressed that issue in the new video that I just published... hope somebody takes notice! Telemetry is working though... and quite reliably too!
I'm really interested in the Telemetry option at 433.... but the fact that the transmitter is only good for a single watt of power.. it is a true deal breaker.. "Seriously how one can handle any kind of interference that way"" I mean even EzUhf can give you to miserable watts!! What is wrong... Dragon obviously have a superior product... why not to up the anti and give at least 3 watts!!
It is often out of stock because of high demand and not enough production! Give it some time and it will be restocked! I am not aware of it being taken out of production!
@@Adexi1 Well that should be the case, the system is often out of stock, I've had situations where I've needed to ask DL to reserve a set from the next batch for friends, out of fear it will get bought out too quickly!
I've had my DL system for several years now... and one thing you don't have to worry about is losing control link. Myself, personally, that's the reason I bought the system as I don't really do the telemetry stuff (right now anyway); but losing control is one less thing that I have to worry about with Dragon Link.
Or maybe just go with Team Black Sheep Crossfire. Cheaper and much more reliable. Better support and if you ask some questions you don't need to wait weeks for answers. And for warranty you don't need to send it to USA because it's much more popular at resellers. Also i did 22km on 10mW. But guessing this was a freebie.
Being free or not is irrelevant to me in terms of the review! The review is objective either way and I state my personal opinion on the matter! Nobody is forcing you to buy anything... and your opinion does not invalidate the fact that system does perform quite well, for me and for a lot of other people. How good or bad the TBS system is does not, in any way, change how good or bad the DragonLink system is!
@@ArxangelRC I would not say that. After your review of Crosswind 1.9 v1 where everyone had issue with the H-Stab and only you did say nothing is wrong with it. Probably this was also a freebie. Still Myflydream released new H-Stab and sent out for free to V1 owners. This means even the company accepted it that it has design flaw. From that i watch your reviews with pinch of salt. Back to Dragolink and Crossfire, i just wanted to show that maybe the DragonLink is great system and works flawlessly but you didn't mentioned any bad things about it. Like i said the price and warranty, and not to mention that almost every time it's out of stock. This company is a one man show. You need to be prepared for that.
Well I have not experienced any issues with it so far, up until making the review... sooooo... would be hard to list any! Looking through the RCGroups thread on it, I can see Mike is active there and people are getting their warranty claims handled, and seem to be happy... plus I've never had a need for such... so again... can't comment on that! Furthermore, if something has a problem or not depends entirely on the way you use it! For the Crosswind plane... the problem with the H-stab manifested itself only when going a lot quicker than how I usually fly... so in fact I had not flown with the conditions that cause the problem until I made the review! More to the point... after people started complaining... I did a few test flights to verify the problem at higher speeds, and it was ME... talking to MFD and sending them videos of the issue, which consequently led to them releasing a new H-stab! Sadly... I was not able to do a video update on it because during those tests my Crosswind got lost! And on the topic of the "one man show"... perhaps I am a bit too used to getting stuff from China and knowing I am on my own if I have a problem... so I don't really think about warranties, etc., too used to DIY solving issues... because of China... it is just how this hobby is... sadly... and I guess I am just too used to it now and don't pay much attention to these things!
My only concern with using DL 433mhz in USA is the FACT we have a lot of ham radio operators in my country especially in countryside where I fly and from what I’ve heard these frequencies are really close to what DL is using. I understand DL uses Frequency hopping but only so much hopping will help in high RF areas.
I am a ham operator in a large metro area in the U.S. and 433MHz is very under-used here. Old hams will complain about everything, but ask them how often they actually use those frequencies. If they say they do and can show you their EME setup and you are still concerned, then get a Technician license, it's easy, and you will learn a few things. 433Mhz is very good for RC and worth it.
Thanks for the info on DL system. I’ve been interested in this system. Have you ever looked into long range using a 4g LTE system? Be interested in working pro/cons of either.
I’m about ready to maiden my xuav cloud but can’t find any info on control surfaces deflection how much travel do you have on your ailerons, elevator,and ruters or what ever you call them on a v- tail
I use it and it works very well. However, the receivers I'm using are from a Russian company and are a little higher quality than the stock receivers. It's a one-way system as well so a separate telemetry radio is needed if you want Mavlink telemetry. I just use and record the OSD data with those installations. Range is comparable. Good antennas is the key factor to good performance with any of these systems. 80km out is possible with even the cheap OpenLRS equipment if setup properly.
I'm confused why you had telemetry issues on the R9. With the R9slim+ and R9M on dynamic I reached out to 20km already with stable telemetry. Just needed to turn around because of battery and not yet full range tested plane.
I did not have telemetry issues on R9... I just never bothered to try it... because my experience with FrSky and telemetry is that when it is operational... control range degrades a bit... and since telemetry is not exactly critical to me... I can easily omit it from the system so I can some extra kms of range at any given power level! That logic seems to be working quite well for me! Also, I am doing EVERYTHING that I can to stay away from FrSky telemetry and lua scripts... and have been quite good at that so far too! :P
Ive seen videos with someone popping out 297km round-trip :O Ive got my dragonlink V4 on order - Im only hoping they havent nerfed the distance due to FAA restrictions but even then, hopefully - there is a firmware hack to get around any signal nerfing.
I have one "older" system (v3 Advanced Large transmitter) too, and I Flown out to 8km on 230m high...my friend flown out 25km on 130m high, both full duplex telemetry, without any problem...not cheap system, but the best civilian 433MHz long range system! My friend flight: ua-cam.com/video/U7MNph1uMgY/v-deo.html
What exactly is the issue? Usually Rx6 on the board is where the SBUS or PPM from the receiver should go! Somewhere around it would be the 4v5 and GND pins for power.
@@ArxangelRC Inbetween sending that message and you replying I got movement in Arduiplane. I can see the 4 RC_MAP for pitch roll etc. How do you map the Flight modes please
@@ArxangelRC no. Its s.port data. Need tracker firmware 2.0. Set the port on tracker to 115200 baudrate and s.port. you will need an sbus inverter either at your transmitter before the bluetooth. Or at your tracker after bluetooth before tracker. I dont remember if the s.port on the back of the r9 is already uninverted. I just got another r9 to test.

Hahaha, the reason for the height is not the video... it is the return trip! Getting higher allows me to drain the battery more, because on the way back I can mostly glide... or keep the plane at a lower throttle setting, having all that altitude to help me get back... so in effect I can make it further out and drain the battery past the 50% mark... as I often do!

All they can do for you, is show you the same video online,absolutely no help from the dragon crap. Email them no reply one after another fuk that crap,
pretty sure the dragon link on 433MHz is illegal without a HAM operator license. Also, video on 5.8GHz above ONE watt is illegal too. So this video is promoting illegal behavior. Can anyone prove me wrong? Cite your sources.

В комплекта дават и цифрова камера. Има ги и в banggood.
На хартия звучи добре! А дано и на практика да се окаже така, като го тестваш! :)
bad solder joint
Yup!
Flying at 4000 feet...?...🤔
EnglishTurbines and🤔
@@Freebird_67 Well, if he was using long range video, he wouldn't need to...You're welcome.
Hahaha, the reason for the height is not the video... it is the return trip! Getting higher allows me to drain the battery more, because on the way back I can mostly glide... or keep the plane at a lower throttle setting, having all that altitude to help me get back... so in effect I can make it further out and drain the battery past the 50% mark... as I often do!
@@ArxangelRC You don't need 4000 feet to go out that far...
Well you do, if the battery is not big enough! :)
15km rssi 27% not good
This was the telemetry signal, not the control signal.
@@ArxangelRC I know that telemetry signals do n’t look ideal
Well this was running at 200mW max... not at the full power!
Im running 100mw tx power + diy moxon antenna 25km not less than 90% rssi.. Telemetry work perfect.
Why all FPV not HD ! Like watching 1975 TV 📺
Everytime I think to start, once I see crap noise pic
I change my mind 😌

Dragon junk just wait. Got two of these junk, it will just stop binding. 800 dollar paper weights.
Why would it stop binding? Never had this issue! Have you flashed it with the new Beta firmware?
Pretty easy to say junk, with no full explanations of what the set up is....be specific
@@M-H433 Exactly!
Lang le please tell us your set up and exactly what the problems are so we may try and help you.
@@M-H433 junk for the money I pay. First one work for six month and just die no power to the unit..second one work for year and a have till it one day after flying for 2 hour. Land it and it never mind again to the unit..i have other brand that still working. Ask dragon crap for help. All they can do for you, is show you the same video online,absolutely no help from the dragon crap. Email them no reply one after another fuk that crap,
$350 for a module lol
A module that works well!
pretty sure the dragon link on 433MHz is illegal without a HAM operator license. Also, video on 5.8GHz above ONE watt is illegal too. So this video is promoting illegal behavior. Can anyone prove me wrong? Cite your sources.
And which part of the world are you referring to?
@scott Houser Yeah!
@scott Houser Us and Canada have almost identical regulations. I am specifically interested in Canadian law.
@@ArxangelRC www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/vwapj/2014_Canadian_Radio_Spectrum_Chart.pdf/$file/2014_Canadian_Radio_Spectrum_Chart.pdf 433 is Amature secondary use. 433MHz you need a licence for amateur use www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf01226.html#p10.1
