- So I'll be real this little kwad surprised me, its fun and agile but slight fragile. The defender 25 is a 2.5 inch cine whoop that relies on the O3 camera much like the DJI Avata.

What is interesting... is everyone who's been sent one for review seems to have led lights in the frame... whereas anyone who's bought one has no light. Also don't drop it more than 1inch from the ground... breaks easily
Ok, you lost me at "multiple charging plates"!
😂, this review has doubled my mandarin language vocabulary, thanks . I was thinking of buying just the the frame for a vista build now I will wait for part two. Great review Ken , as always very real .
This is the wish version of the a avata to me.... great review!
lol
I know it’s not a great acro flyer, no cinewhoop is. But does it fly acro better than the Avata? Every channel talks about the battery, it’s plastic, it’s specs. But I wanna know how it flies. You came close to answering that question until you crashed. Glad you recovered it and thanks for all your hard work.
It definitely seems like it flies better than the Avata. I know it's not a freestyle drone but there's plenty of footage of decent little defender freestyles, flips both front backwards and sideways.
I've seen just as many videos of the Avata falling out of the sky in a hard turn let alone trying to flip without being very high up in the air.
Loved the ending in mandarin and as always thanks for keeping it real and calling out issues with products not pandering to companies. I think you're very fair but I guess the way the internet works they'd rather see a rosy painting over honest criticism. I'm glad you got your drone back in the end but got a chuckle out of the reaction when it got stuck, been there enough times myself, especially fishing and casting into a tree or getting snagged on the bottom trying to fish a spot known for that.
Thanks for your feedback. I dont userstand why ppl want to compare this drone with the avata. Comparing li ion 15minute flight against lipo 3 minutes flight is like comparing apples against bananas.
You don’t know why people are comparing them? This drone probably owns it’s existence because of the Avata. I don’t think it’s terrible but the flight time is shit. If they could double it or get close to that then it would be decent.
@@keithy4129 the point was that there is nothing to compare between a li ion drived drone and a lipo one ;)
Absolutely wrong, the entire premise of this drone is because of the fucking Avata… if you can’t see that you are more dense than my ex wife’s fake breast.
@@OriginaldoBo lol
@@OriginaldoBo they make it looks like an avata but it flies completely defferently, it as a shity flight time, it s nowhere near the (rare) advantages of an avata. Ppl fall for there fucking marketing joke.If you can t see that then I understant wy your fake breasted wife left you ! 😉
I did that 2 seconds after tying out my sons Avanta luckily it came down on its own
Awesome review. Thinking about getting back in the hobby....so much has changed
Right? Me too, last I was in it you still had to build everything yourself! Haha my goggles were a diy styrofoam box ductaped along with the vrx into a bike helmet.
Good review..We are on the same boat with iFlight product. My iFlight Protek35 their promise 8 minutes flight with GoPro ..I am lucky to get 4 minutes without (4S setup). I did try to tune the timing loading setup from the iFlight, but no still the same. You are right they tune flight characteristic well, It does fly great only not nearly as long as advertised. On the second flight, on not even hard landing the frame have cracked and took two blades with it.
P4 is trash, my guards broke on very light crash. So i change frame to foxwhoop35, much more durable and flys great
Where did you get 8 mins flight advertised with gopro from?
I have 2 protek35 and they've taken a good bashing and are still going. I get just over 4 mins with full gopro 1300mah 4s
@@ha-media I still have mine for a while now, bashing it NO to fragile for that. I would be happy with 5 minutes with full GoPRO, I can't get 3 minutes with 1500mah 4S battery. Look I've seen hundreds good reviews of this quad, mine must be a dud (not referring to the frame).
I fly my 6s Protek 35 on 4s and get longer flights because of the lower kv motors
@@dronepilot260rc It definitely helps. How is the outside frame holding in crashes for you?
I also put mine in a tree 😂, I bend the duct up fairly badly but it’s buffed out. It’s a nice little quad but it’s not as resilient as the avata for sure.
I was honestly waiting for Ken to Rip iflight a new one on this one lol , great flyer cheaply made while under 250G made exclusively to break on first impact , seems like these products are being one and done, shame really they're on the right path
Alright this is a great video with an unbiased opinion but are we just going to gloss over the sponsor of the video at the beginning 😂
So far you are the only one to catch that lol
Not being that involved in the fpv world I never knew of this drone. Interesting drone. Thanks for sharing Ken.
It's basically a brand new drone of iFlight.
No GPS? This thing should not even be compared to the Avata. Js. Kool video and review.. BYW Ken your Mandarin is so fluent 🤣😂
I take my vote back, video quality > frequency of posting. These just keep getting better. Nicely done ✔️
Great review Ken thank you for your honesty
All in all it does fly well and very affordable but idk still down with dji nice video ken my drone brotha from another mother be safe always
I am new to this hobby. My first quad is defender 25. It had some tech issue when I received the quad. The customer service person kept telling it is my fault that messed up the setting, but didn't instruct how to solve the problem. I eventually got help from DJI support and the FPV community. Another thing worth to mention is the frame, prop guard broke after hitting a bush branch that thinner than my finger. No matter how many youtubers say iflight make the best quad, I will never buy any thing from iflight.
They definitely suck with customer service
@@OriginaldoBowould give some recommendations for 5inch prebuild quad?
Noice review-ish! The drone is a decent product but I'm not sure what it brings to the table you can't get from any number other drones? Heck, if you like the battery idea, 3D print some battery cases and clips and away you go...
Without the crash you wouldn’t have that OH CRAP moment. Definitely adds entertainment value.
Good thing you recovered the drone, Ken! Thanks again for your honest opinion. It's always important to me. :)
Good one Ken, I mean the video, not being ironic or anythung.. Hey I got my Defender 25 too, couldn't help myself, however, did you have to configure the remote completely in BetaFilight? Mine armed fine first day I got it and day after decided not to, have no clue what I did wrong. going tu futz with it tonight since I have a little tiem and see what switches do what if it's working
Wish me luck.
I had to remove or should I say perma eliminated the pit mode
Thanx for review
Dobo in with the TRUTH! 👍🏼
dang it my guy. i was hoping it would be a finders keepers situation there haha. glad you got it back man. that is expensive but for the flyability, not worth it if you are only getting a few minutes out of it seeing it represents a cinewhoop. had they marketed it as an fpv drone for beginners with prop guards so you can crash and still keep flying, i could understand that. yes the dji system is expensive but if you are going to use that on a drone, make the image quality worth the dang video and have flight time that can accommodate that. 3 minutes you are really trying for the one take challenge. hard to cinewhoop when you cant even scout the area. good review man
POR 15 patch. Comes in a tube like tooth paste. Black. Shit works great on plastics or metal. Will fix a crack like that rock hard!
I pulled my drone out of my pine tree by casting a weight with a fishing pole. Takes good aim and a little luck.
Nice product if you need to be under 250g. If not, DJI Avata offers crazy more features for same money. And I just love that dji battery charging. Its dream after charging regular FPV batteries, keeping them on storage voltage etc..
Good Times....
Hey ken, love to see you out in the great outdoors , great recovery there getting the drone back not an easy job at all id say . I had something like that too was close to a very big tree. was so focus on where i was flying didn't realize the avata battery was just up. went into rth before i knew it slapped off a branch fell around 40.05 m to the ground recovery it and to my surprise only lost the nd filters 16 that was on it. and even the battery stayed in using your jock strap which was amazing high recommend them to all . the dji microphone sounded great there even on a windy day looking into getting the new DJI Mic (1 TX + 1 RX). again thanks hope all is well best of luck at the Texas thing
Same exact situation happened to me with my first Nazgul evoque difference in my situation was I never got the drone back
LOL... Speechless... ROFL! Great way to start Saturday! Crikey (well, I watched it Saturday morning)
You speak the truth!!
Your not a influencer !
I love your content !!
Something happened to me with a mavic air, spent 100usd, 12m of 2" pvc pipe and 6hours of work to get it out of there
Is that a crack I can’t see it maybe a still and circle the crack ?
footage looks good Ken seems fly good nice retrieval is bit pricey avata only 100 more and has gps and better battery life
No GPS and 4 minute flight times...and for $500+?
You would have to crazy to buy this.
Can anyone please tell me HOW i bind the defender to the DJI Remote Controller 2?
Too funny! Love the paint pole idea....genius!
I don’t see one tree moving or one blade of grass I don’t know what do you call Windy 🐒💨🌾
Great Video. You can return that pole to Lowes of course it may come in handy.
I’m hanging onto to it just in case
This one has my interest. Not many quads catch my attention anymore lol 🎉
i don’t understand why everyone’s O3 footage looks so different?
ahahaha that was awesome ken. $550 drone and sent it. that was epic. great video🤙
My 2 cents worth. For $90 more dollars you get GPS, stabilized and adjustable gimbal, and double the flight time. Also feel Avata is hardier. Biggest draw back in Avata has a way to expensive of battery
Can you adjust the sharpening on the o3 camera it just seems hyper sharp to me which is great for piloting scraggle but makes the video look weird and uncomfortable.
Thanks for the review. It saved me money 😂
Can I use the dji integra goggles with this quad?
Try foxeer foxwhoop 25! Its unbreakable…….almost! And life time warranty for the prop guards
It looks like it flies locked in. Maybe I need to start using smaller batteries on my Protek 35. I’ve been flying it on 4s 2200 mah which gets about 8 mins on flights but isn’t as locked in
Very interesting sponsor lmao love the video's Ken. Keep up the awesome reviews!
Pilot institute?!?! You trying to start something? 😉
That’s sponsor!😂
Thank you that was great. Keep it original.
"we just made a huge mistake."?! WTF di I do? Lol
No ejecto seato battery on this quad here
does it fall out of the sky? Serious question..
Nope, unless you crash it into the tree like me
@@OriginaldoBo hahaha. Yes I watched lol. Looks like it has some nice power. Can't tell you only flew it for 30 seconds hahaha. .. nice going Ken.. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Michael
The thumbnail got me 😅
Maybe the Hurricane wind cracked the guard
It was about 10 mph when flying.
If I just want a great flying Cinewhoop that I can fly with an open TX radio……right now I would say Cinebot 30 with a Vista and a Nebula pro $389. Put your Bones or Naked 8 on that sucker and send it.
This is an attempt at an Avata clone, but the feature set is not even close for the price. You are paying for bullshit and GepRC has better whoops than iFlight all day. Just my opinion. It looks cool, but it’s fragile and looks like a pain in the ass to fix with all of that plastic. Adding a GPS looks like a pain in the ass. The battery thing is cool, but not cool enough. I am one who could care less what my drone looks like. I want it to fly right. The Avata doesn’t fly great, but the features are way better for not much more money.
DJI customer service sucks, but compared to these other FPV companies it’s Sears.
Hahaha, loved the ending! 👍
If you rub the banana on your crotch, it may take care of the itch and burn. Hell, rub it on any IFlight quad and it would prob make that better to.....
mr long arm to save the day!
FRFR
I enjoyed the flight and your review. What is the make of your watch?
Apple Watch ultra
@@OriginaldoBo thanks !
Glue and sandpaper.
Hi Ken, Thank you for the heads up..... JMoSpgHill
Ken nice ending lmfao!!
Lowes sells chainsaws, about $300. Longer term solution, if you will. Pays over time.
I'm a fixed wing guy who got my 107 through part 61. Whats the best way for me to get better at actually flying drones?
Simulators. DRL Sim has a guided learning path and if you can get at least one star on every lesson you are ready; this process should take about 10 hours. After this think about moving onto another simulator like Velocidrone or Liftoff. People say Velocidrone has the most accurate physics which is important if you want to translate what you learn to reality. You can use the same radio you use to fly as a controller plugged in to your PC for simulation so you're building real, applicable muscle memory.
What Crashtopher said. Simulator. I personally like Velocidrone the best. I have 7 different ones and have just over 800 hours just in Velocidrone. There is no easy button or tricks to being better, just lots and lots of practice.
Hi. I stupidly wiped the Defender 25 Betaflight configuration. I can't find the default one online anywhere. Would you or anyone else here have it by any chance. Would be much appreciated.
I’ll upload it
@@OriginaldoBo thanks
Those Live Oaks are evil.
They are like magnets
3.5 minutes, you better be having some serious motion in the ocean for that kind of flight time. Cost the same as an Avata with less features, less durability, and less flight time, make that make sense. What ev’s to the it’s better crowd that sure to arise, do you, but your gonna have to do you quickly with this one.
My willingness to pay is $300/350 TOPs. This review verified it for me. Overpriced for the features it is lacking.
The 03 unit is 229 by itself
4s with 20 Amp is nothing but trouble! Why not go with the 35 Amp minimum? Iflight is bad for that!
Isn't "Droning" fun?! You never know what the fates will put you through on any given day. Enjoy.
Good 1 Ken.
Football for trees
good video
Sounds just like the Avata also..
Little more quiet
Somebody said it before, but now I know for sure, trees are dicks. Nice review Ken.
Haha true!
Excellent apology!😂
It was from the heart
很棒的视频,肯。 感谢您诚实而谦虚的评论。
👀
感谢艾迪一直以来的支持。
真有趣 too
I don't think this is getting you off the list 🤔 But good review nonetheless. 👍
Man ken those trees are dicks 😂 great video bro. Lol china
Ayoo it was sponsert by whoo
Dude 2 hands on the steering wheel put the drone down while driving next you will be fixing your vehicle.
Jeeps are the most durable vehicles in the world
Sounds like ur tryn to get off there naughty list lol gud review Def wudnt buy that piece ✌️ thanks for the knowledge
Toxic feedback must be slang for honest real world no bullshit. I could see how that could be a problem if they wanted an asskissing review
There will be no ass kissing from me, just your average Joe Blow consumer
Was that John Cena inspired?
Possibly
nice thumbnail lol
In my opinion all cine whoops are a waste of time the prop guards seem to brake easy on them all, would rather just change a broken prop and they are noisy and inefficient, just buy a regular small quad!
Good thing your opinion doesn’t matter
真有趣 🤪
Okay I saw the word compare and Avata 🤣 in same sentence,?, no other drones than dji have position holds an electronically actuated gimbal. Wow just wow guys come on give Ken a break. Nothing compares to DJI drones and nothing compared to build that you can build yourself. Can we move on LMAO

You are so funny dobo great video man 👍💯 and if you ask me that is a piece of shit bro, the material looks cheap. You can see it in the video. No thanks stay with the Avata 💯 😂
Maybe you should stop flying iflight products .😄
