PLEASE NOTE: If you should see a comment from me saying you have been selected for a prize, it is not me, but rather just some scammer trying to get your money. You have been warned!
So what did I win
LoL
Off topic- you purchase all RC items off bangood?
I know it soo obvious 😂 lol , thanks anyway.
Dang! Thought I was a winner…LOL. 🤩
The intro with the letters sparkles was amazing!
This drone with ELRS is absolutely perfect for me. I appreciate you showing all the different camera weight. It looked super smooth in every flight.
Thanks Captain
Oh my. Now this is a super fast drone.😁👍😲👀 Super long flight time and long range indeed!
This is the one for having a blast and having fun.
Thank you so very much Steve and God bless you always. One of the best drones for FPV.
This is an amazing quad. Look's very nice. Thank you Captain!
YES, yes Captain Drone, this looks like the best drone ever, I loved the video and the flying...gotta love that speed. one of my favourite videos in a while
Man this videos make me happy and give me joy... Thanks man
Another good review Steve. That is 1 hell of a drone.
I finally saw something that I wanted too!
iFlight's new Aircraft is a blast.
I always liked their Cinewhoop- Bumblebee and now here is my another favourite, DeadCat FPV drone!
It looks really beautiful because it is enormous and the bigger the drone is, the more beautiful is it.
Really impressive to see a 7" FPV drone as it can carry 300+ grams on it and is really powerful!
The powerful 1,800 mAh battery was massive and gave 7 minutes of flight time which was not bad at all!
I think what will it do with an epic 5,000+ mAh Battery!
The even better thing is that it can easily handle the mass of DJI Action 2, Insta360 one RS and GoPro 10 combined!
It is exceptionally large, may it be its propellers, motors or body.
It is expensive?
Not at all.
Such a huge and beautiful RTF FPV Drone costs less then 2,000 USD which is pretty affordable!
{Those who think that it is costly should take a look at these prices of Cinematic/Inspection/Agricultural Camera Drones even though some of them are not in the consumer market, like the future DJI Inspire 3 (15,000+ USD), DJI Matrice M30T (10,000+ USD), DJI Agras (20,000+ USD) or the legendary Elios 2 (a whopping 40,000+ USD) and the 10 CM long, 18 Grams of mass of Black Hornet Nano UAV which flies at 18 kph and range is 2 KM (1,90,000+ USD)}
Overall, iFlight Chimera 7 HD Pro definitely a really good Profesional FPV Drone for sure that flies very nicely!!!
And, also Congratulations for 250K subs Steve!
Huge Giveaway Time B)
What a beast! Equivalent to a 700 trex helicopter! That is definitely not a beginner copter. When I started flying in 2010 I would run that ting straight into the ground.
This was a great video. I don't think I would ever get into FPV drones. But really enjoyed the flight. Thanks for taking us along. Congratulations on 250K subscribers !!!👍
Thank you!
great review
Very impressive FPV drone. Thanks for the review. 🧑✈️👍
Wow...amazing FPV iFlight Cinema 7 HD Pro
Amazing Quad and review ¡¡¡ thanks Captain.
Looks like a great FPV drone Steve! 😀👍👍
Sounds really good great footage
Awesome drone and skills there cap.
Good morning always great video nice review
Wow! So timely, I'm seriously eying the Rekon 7 and then this review appears! I agree this it not a beginner drone - dangerous to market it as such.
Naahhhh ini baru luar biasa Om Captain Drone...... Selalu Mantap
I have the 1st version Digital Chimera 7 and its a amazing drone that can also acro like crazy! Amazing how a big drone can be so aerobatic and fly like a 5 inch quad. Love love love my Chimera7
It is a beast! I would try it but only in the Grand Canyon or Death Valley 🏜 away from people! It is so cool when you fly it though!
@@marcoreviews awayfrom people lmao. I blow through gas station canopy's while getting gas at 110mph doing barrel rolls and people love it. U need to wake up against woke libtard agenda bullshit.
Awesome review Capt 👍
Thank you
awsome review sir.
This has long been my most favourite frame for DJI and long range, the frame is what I like to call a fluke frame that requires very little filtering as the arms are perfect and thick and the chassis (WELL EVERYTHING ABOUT IT) it is by far the best out of all the 7" frames out there.
I use 6S Molicell and flight time is around 20 mins at high speed. Fantastic Frame
Amazing drone😍 everything with leather straps i like😉
I wanna see that race now
What an awesome drone love your channel 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Absolute beast
That thing is a beast indeed.
And I really love that racing drone that you have looking into buying one
love it top flying friend i am in the uk
Thanks for showing and the effort to put on all the different cameras Captain Spielberg ¶ ; - )
Thank you!
Have a good weekend
What a beast. Makes everything else look like a T3llo.
I’m watching going, “noo dont mess with the geese!” Haha
Fun video, I’m going to have to check this thing out
AWESOME!!
Great 7 inch Steve 👊🏻
360 camera view is great.
Just got mine today!
Really nice drone i like it
Rtfs are starting to look pretty good
Дуже потрібний fpv набір на передову частину фронту в Україні, рятують багато життів, для використання як засіб розвідки та знешкодження ворожих дронів, будемо вдячні за будь яку допомогу.
And Happy Easter to you Captain!; now, where do we start ! well, the Drone sounds like an earlier Formula 1 car !!; the party piece I guess is its ability to carry those Cameras and provide a pretty "immersive" experience!; pricy? yes! however a tempting proposition for anyone looking to delve seriously into this style of Drone ! Many thanks for sharing.......🙂
Really nice...
Hi captain I'm your one of subscriber thanks to your lot of videos about drone. I learnd a lot about drone I'm little UA-camrs
Thank you!
WOah!! This drone is super cool!@@!! You are an amazing reviewer and instructor! Please elucidate on your battery choices.
So, this one over a DJI Mavic, your personal choice? Please consider posting a video/helpful tips/review on FPV goggles for us new flyers. Thank you for the review, Captain Drone!
Hey there, dude!
Your reviews are straight fire, always bringing those good vibes! Massive thanks for dropping all that knowledge. I've been deep in the drone review game, but your content sealed the deal for me. I just had to pull the trigger on that drone you recommended.
Quick question, though: any way to get a heads-up if there's some other bird cruising nearby, you know, like DJI FPV style?
Cheers, and keep rocking those reviews!
Not that I'm aware of. You'd have to install some device that tracks civil aviation and then hook it into your telemetry.
Hurry up Christmas
Keep up the good work love the videos u dnt claim to be the best of the best much appreciated👏
Are u serious????? No way
Contact were? Lol im READY. Plus i want some of those tasty stickers lol
@@burdfamfpv I think someone is trying to scam us. It's on every comment
I just noticed that, wat a day lol danmmmmitttt
Great video, really enjoyable to watch. Just wondering what its cruising and also top speeds are.
Now I need to start flying my XL7 frame 😎
I really love the look of it. Just think its way too big (in my opinion )
I was REALLY hoping to get out this weekend and start to get some shots on my drone. But we just had a BIG dump of snow (Now over 26ft of snow since Jan 1st....More snow than i can ever remember. But I need to get mine up and start getting some videos.
Have a great long weekend my friend. Be safe and have a very hoppy good time lol
That snow dump also hit much of the midwest Canadian prairies and will be bringing lots of rain to my area. Have a great Easter weekend.
Congrats on 250K Subs! You really do an amazing job here! As always, great video and thank you for sharing!
Yeh.. Steve deserve it and more .. most friendly informative drone content UA-camr ..period 👍🏻
Thank you kindly!
This size drone will be my next purchase, it appeals to me.
Nice drone! even with 7" props no prop wash 👍🏻🙂
You are correct sir! My wife wouldn’t be happy if I chewed up the walls🤪 🙆🏻♂️
Oh man what a cool drone. Kinda disappointed you didn't get a proper big 6s on it. But hey it still makes me want one!
Hey Capi if you have a USBC cord and a battery power bank plug it directly into the FC before your setup , by the time you plug in your goggles , turn on radio , then take the usbc cord plug a battery to your quad you should get satellites quickly. I've been using this method to get satellites quickly. They seems to get locked quicker with out anything plugged in or VTX connected
That is a mans drone. Thanks for keeping us informed on the latest & greatest.
Waaoow. Bagus ..nice. 👍👍
What could be happening with the green light is that the battery is drained so low that it thinks it's a charged 4 or 5s. I've had my Chimera 7 do that before.
14:59 "..so check this oot.." 🙂 🍁
Recently discovered your channel and I really appreciate all your knowledge and interest in so many gadgets and tech! Question: I'm interested in getting into FPV droness as a new hobbiest and am wondering with a budget of $300, the TinyHawk 3 RTF kit is still the ideal product with a good controller for simulations?
Yes, for beginners, any of the RTF FPV kits are great. The reason I say that is because the FPV hobby is one of those hobbys where the learning curves are very steep. So getting a kit where everything works together means you are half way there. Next you have to learn how to fly without training wheels. If you have flown a GPS camera drone, those have training wheels. Flying FPV means plenty of crashing before you get good enough not to crash so whatever kit you get, there is a good chance you may destroy the drone in your attempt to learn how to fly, so always fly outdoors in an open field with plenty of soft grass. If you wish to learn more about the FPV hobby, just watch my video series entitled CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS on UA-cam.
As big as a lobster. Thank you for your detailed review. 👍😃
Ha ha... kinda looks like that's what I'm holding
Strangely while marketed as a pro long range build, the BNF comes with a tiny 2.4ghz antenna which is pretty dangerous for practical long range. Typically you'd like a 868/915mhz diversity setup.
Agree, being a radio guy myself I would much prefer the 800-900 MHz system.
Cool video.. amazing drone ..could make some great videos with the 360 on it too.
your comment really hit home that they hit hard. I have the Iflight Xl7 and took off into my face. 30 stitches later im good. but you are not wrong they will mess up alot of things
Yikes! Sounds painful
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 was completely my own fault, lets just say when they tell you to take props off when flashing ESC they mean it.
I wish some of these company's came out with inav versions for these long range setups. Of course you need a compass on it as well but I think inav is just a more dependable firmware for lr. The rth functions seem to just work better
There's a build log on the ArduPilot forums for a full autopilot with this setup.
I think the Rekon 7 comes with inav.
Nice outro song
Love the hat captain! Only Canadians will get it.
The CFL is pretty much a Canadian thing :-)
thank you for the demo!
"this is the biggest in the fpv world" * beast class sounds intensify*
Biggest in the FPV world that I currently own
This is what massive looks like by the way 👇👇👇
I have a lr and freestyle Chimera7 and it's def my fav frame so far. I still rock a 5" MRM because it's the most solid frame I've ever had. Still can't break it.
Why're u trying to break it?
@@ishaangill8019 we aren't exactly careful and MRM isn't even in business anymore. I replaced the PDB with a spare top and drilled out new stack holes. We've broken lots of arms not too many bodies. Got a CL1 that hasn't broken yet either but only 2 yrs old
I'm waiting for the 1S Version 😆
Good to see the pilot is no longer having to operate in popsicle mode. Great looking drone and thank you for the demo. Willing to comment on which camera produced your favourite video?
If I'm filming straight forward, then I kinda like the DJI ACTION 2 camera, however it is not as damage proof as a GOPRO in a head on crash. If I'm filming going through scenic items then the Insta360 One RS is best since I can pick any shot in post editing.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for the thoughtful answer. As I am rather crash prone, your insight makes my selection much easier.
Definitely not cheap but seems like a great value since a person could start without going through a bunch of cheaper drones. Maybe a bit OP for true beginners but with a little restraint this would be awesome to start with and not have to accumulate a bunch of extra.
I'd like to get it just to see how bad I can chew up the walls in my house!
Closest thing i have is a 2000mah 6s. Lol geez that thing is huge!
Wow amazing drone dude, the price its the only bad thing 😄
I've made my decision
ELRS Version it is
Thanks CD
Interesting vid….big drone. Don’t recognise the coin….we stopped using inches over half a century ago and those poor geese…🥺. Loved the vid.
I'm sure you will upload a happy easter egg drone video today.
Unfortunately the weather has been terrible so no Happy Easter Egg video this year
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Alright Capt
Thank you for this great video Captain! 😃
I have the Standard Chimera 7 and ordered some 7.5'' HQ Props as the arm length of the pro doesn't have changed and I'm curious if I could gain some efficiency.
There are several reports that the Pro version is less efficient with the bigger motors, up to 30% less flight time with the same Lipos. 🤔
Yeah you have to run bigger batteries. But on 7" I'm already running 8000mah li-ion. I ended up turning my 7" rekon to 8" trying to get longer flights. But i can't get tune good I was thinking grabbing this chimera pro 🤔
Nice job. Are you ready to review a GPS drone flying on water? Cheers 🍻
Ever sell off any of the fpv drones you review... that Chimera 7 pro is on my hit list... and I'm local!
Sorry, I only sell drones to the local RC hobbiests that I see daily
Very amazing drone !!
CAPTAIN, Would be the better for long distance? REKON 7, ir CHIMERA? Thanks
Pretty awesome indeed Steve👍 i'd be curious to see how well it would fly with a big 4s 5000 mah battery🤔 we'll have to try that next time you take her out🙂
I got 6.5 min on a 6s 5000mah lipo landing at 3.8v per cell
@@robertfpv7733 thanks for the reply Robert. You can surely fly even longer than that since 3.8 is still a high cutoff... I set my betaflight alarm at 3.5 on my quads and land at 3.4 (under load). Usually translates to around 3.6 or 3.7 when you unplug which is more than fine for 2s batteries and up.👍
Lindo drone fpv, meu sonho ter um desse acho interessante poder modificar o drone🥰👏🏼
Hi Captain, very nice video. Where did You get the side protection?
It comes with side protectors.... This is the new PRO model with upgraded features.
Good job. I hope it came with HDzero 1W instead of DJI.
It's pronounced Kai-mera btw. Nice video!
super sic
Oooo, I have a big field.
its so cool and exspensive id be scared to fly above water or anything like that
Any chance you can fly and review Freefly ALTA or ASTRO Drones? I know those are on the pricey end but those are beasts !!!
I've been waiting for an REKON 7 vs. Chimera 7
The Chimera 7 Pro is way more of an all purpose beast than the Rekon 7.
Wish it was waterproof then I would buy it. André
Great video Steve I guess I’ll be ordering one of these now and my wife is pissed at you I might add she was watching this with me and knows I’m buying so your fault in her eyes thanks again for sharing
I think plenty of wifes are a wee bit upset with me :-)
Thấy con đó sao mà chịu nổi thèm quá bạn ơi
Steve! Ive been flying my avata for a month now and just saw this! Ive never dealt with anything but autel and dji batterys. What type of battery is the safest and best for a drone like this and how do you charge them?
In the RC hobby of: RC Cars, RC Trucks, RC Tanks, RC Boats, RC Helicopters, RC Planes and FPV Drones, they all use LIPO batteries and they all use RC Hobby battery chargers. Watch any of my battery charger videos and everything will make sense.
You should upload a 360 video! We can use vr headsets to see it in vr!
