My review of the Chimera7 Pro -
• What are seven inches ...
I chased a race car with a 9"" drone and I'm never going back -
• I chased a race car wi...
My neighbors would have had the feds at my house if my quad was that loud for that long.
Lol
When I first started Fpv lol 5-6 years ago let’s say when I first started using Goggles and free styling fairly well. Let’s just say you would have thought my neighbors seen a real UFO for the first time. 4 neighbors houses. I see threw the goggles there all outside watching looking up. Asking what’s that loud sound. I didn’t know if I was in trouble or they where interested lol. Well they where very interested. Now Everytime I fly or go outside. You can see them all waiting to see if I’m gonna fly today.. there little kids just love it to death.. Great stuff for sure.. it made me wanna fly more. Nowdays I’m just bored with it.. need to turn it into a job. When I’m not framing houses Mon-Sat
Thanks JB you’re a champion you have helped so much over the years not only with quads but all aspects of RC. Stay strong brother. 🗡👍
The joy you hear in his laugh at 1:21 is what drives me in with hobby and what drives me to make it a career. Piloting always brings a smile to my face. Thank you Bardwell for being a pillar in this community.
A comment like this makes me want to make a joke about Bardwell paying him to say that but reality is that this is fact.
Haha I know it feels cheesy after reading it but it's my honest opinion I was not paid.
I've flown both the Chimera 7 and Moz7, the Moz7 has a better stock tune and the frame is WAYY easier to work on than the Chimera 7 - for that reason the Moz7 has become my mainstay long-range quad.
They both cost the same direct from manufacturer when I bought them.
What about sound?
You got me into this hobby starting with sims four or five years ago, good to see your making the review videos thank you sir .
Awesome flying and review, Joshua! 😃
This quad really seems fantastic!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for keeping us updated on our hobby 😀. Bought this BEAST and this is one of the best built 💪 drones i have. And flies awesome 👌.
The fact that you're into Venjent makes me happier than watching the review itself haha. Super underrated artist.😆
For the GPS mount what I have started doing is adding clear heatshrink around the gps and the tpu mount, keeps it in place during a crash
That's actually a great idea!
Pretty clever!
I just use foil tape…. I’m just kidding. But the clear heat shrink is a killer idea! Nice
I was waiting for this review for so long, thank you!
Just got mine yesterday Josh. Amazing quad, rates set, setup and flies perfect.
I can get 1.5kg payload with chimera 7 to 9km and back without it easily here in Ukraine 😊
I think I see what ur meaning in that case LOL
Is it true?
This was a really good review. Thanks JB.
I purchased the Moz 7 about a month ago and I can confirm that it flies perfectly, the best 7 inch on the market to date in my opinion!!!
I think I've seen that title idea somewhere before...lol. Thanks for the great review JB!
Should have mentioned geprc have 3 new 7" offerings
Mark5 7" 7" prop $50 upgrade option from mark5 5"
Crocodile v3 7.5" prop smaller higher kv motor more acromatic lipo car chase/ freestyler better chimera comparison
Moz07 7.5" bigger low kv motor li ion LR cinematic cruiser
As far as I can tell, both the Chimera and the Moz7 use 2809 motor. GEPRC 1280 kv, iFlight 1250kv. At least that's what the ones that GEPRC and iFlight sent me have. You can check the product listings to verify it.
Just built a 5inch on the gepMK5 squashed X 5inch frame with Mr steels rates/pids and fettec stack...... Best drone ive flown in years I love GEPRC been flying on their frames since 2018.
That's the first 7 inch to really catch my interest. Awesome review as always.
Another Fire Intro!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great video! Thank you.
Commission coming your way JB! You convinced me! Thanks!
Geprc make quality quads.
This looks like a nice bnf geprc is really stepping it up here lately this would be an awesome rig for long range desert cruising and wing chasing!!
My gep rc MOZ7 free-falled from an altitude of 1000 meters. When it reached the ground, only the battery was deformed and the GPS antenna was thrown off. Everything else was intact.
Wow! But what happened?
The intro is 🔥
Thank you Joshua!
Joshua really hoping you do more videos on larger quads. I have been looking into the GEPRC EF10 as a drone for carrying fishing baits because of size and price. Large quads are so versatile. Banger vid tho. Your stuff is great!
heyy cool to see you used a song by venjent, immediately noticed what it was😂, hes got some very cool dnb stuff
you got me hooked on Venjent JB... oh and hooked on drones
Always a joy to watch JoBard fly. Can't say if his neighbours feel similarly
Having the control link antennae at the front on an LR quad makes sense. If you're gonna have a restriction on range due to antenna placement you want the restriction on the way out. With a front mounted control antenna s soon as you turn around to come "home" your signal is likely to get better.
Love the new music.
Waiting for the ultimate Bardwell x Venjent drone remix.
I can say for a fact that the 03 lense scratches easy. Especially after turtle mod’ing in the sand at OBX and sand blasted the lense. Props out on those 3.5” sand rippers for now on. Awesome review JB. 👍👍🇺🇸
Props out when flying = props in when turtling. You can't win.
Sup Bo, i knew you would be here watching this seeing as how we are about to build two of these monsters. These are not the droids you are looking for! hahahaha i wish he would review the the one i recommended we build, the GEP-LC75 or Croc75 as it's known, it has more room inside than these. but good to see you doing research on these, i been at it for a solid week now and still can't make up my mind as to the way i want to go.
Clear plastic ND filter
Wowww que belleza!! Es como escuchar un auto de fórmula 1, me encanta!!
All I use for chasing/video is a 7 inch. It's the only way to go. So much more stable, and so much more power.
I have to have this to play in traffic!.. WOWZERS.. nice going..
Mikey
Yay flight footage
remember, the new chimera comes with the newest M10 GPS and fixes the "issue" you mentioned joshua.
i got average of 27 sats right after plugging a lipo in on a warm start for the iflight M10. it should be very comparable to the good GPS on the GEPRC quad.
nice review! that chuckle after crashing it 😂
The chimera I tested had a m10 GPS. IFlight said they were having reported issues when it was used outside of Asia. Maybe they fixed it?
oh really? i thought you had the old white GPS. the new is black outside. at 32:33min you are holding both quads in the camera and the left iflight GPS is the older version. thats why i thought your chimera didnt have the BLITZ M10 😅 my bad if you just use that as reference only but flew the new version. oh and yes outside asia could be a problem. since i am living in china i cant confirm that but i will ask around. a friend in australia have some quads with the new M10. @@JoshuaBardwell
i visited the GEPRC factory many times before and they improved alot. but you right saying we need to decide ourselves which 7" we prefer. they are very close to each other. i stick to iflight. cheers°🥳
I got the m8 on mine. No problems
@@kringtheking2657 i also got the M8 before. but if you start a quad with M10 and same time M8 you see the difference.
@@cloudpandarism2627 what difference you talk about ? . It allways find the sates within 30 seconds. I dont mind waiting a few seconds. How fast is the m10 ?
One of those 20x20 mounting holes on the top plate could be used to mount the Flight Test remote id module.
Like the gopro mount
Hey jb,thanks for the help with understanding rssi dbm and lq with my moz 7 🤟🏻,unfortunately Ive had several issues with mine,related to the gps and rc link and just don’t feel confident in it so I am trying to return,and Geprc are let’s say being less than helpful and don’t seam to understand that buying a $600 bnf should mean it’s a bnf!,I hope mine was just a one off,as I really like many of the features just lost confidence In it now and with Geprc 😔
i have this frame (Custom build) , i have found two issues on this frame, arms are not rigid enought, try to "bend" them and you will know what im talking about, but ive found a workaround and now they are really good. Other thing is screws from Arms are too short, i had to use bigger screws on arms. apart from that it seems a very good frame :) love it
I don't find that my arms flex when I torque them by hand. But the body, that flexes.
I found that my motor mount screws were too short.
excellent review as always mr. JB! as an aside to this can the protective side panels be removed in order to shave excess weight? as they seem to be slip-in over the aluminum standoffs only. cheers!
I’ve got moz7 and croc75 both 03 and love them 👌
What’s the differences between these?
Two different designs
Croc can take bigger batteries
@@PrzemoFpv is it cause is 7.5” other than that is one better than other or suited for something specific?
Hey Joshua, really good review.
Out of interest what BF 'actual rates' were you using?
Seemed very responsive.
Cheers
Hey, thanks for the awesome presentation! I gotta say, you've got me seriously considering pulling the trigger on this drone.
But, I've still got a couple of lingering questions that didn't quite make it into your review.
So, here goes: What's the deal when the signal goes MIA? I'm curious if this drone's got a knack for going up, up, and away to reconnect, or if it's more of a backtrack and return kind of deal.
See, I love cruising with my DJI FPV in the Alps, and every now and then, it goes radio silent. The DJI FPV usually goes on a little vertical adventure to reestablish the connection, but I'm not sure if this drone does the same.
If it doesn't, we might have a head-on collision situation with obstacles, right?
And then, here's the second head-scratcher: If I slap an 8000 mAh battery and a GoPro on this bad boy, will I have enough wiggle room to adjust the GoPro angle for that perfect shot at top drone speed?
The stock DJI V2 goggle antennas are linear also, only the V1 were circular polarized.
you should power up both quads at the same time for GPS comparison.
also, I see the back arms are a little different in length, that could have a durability note as well.
I would by this one over the iflight one if would have to buy again.
Awesome video as always man!
What connectors are needed to convert from the stock DJI O3 Antenna to 2 SMA Adapters, like on the new GEPRC Moz7 here. Is it just two seperate U.FL Antenna ports?
Does the DJI O3 Air Unit actually use U.FL Antenna connectors? I heard it was proprietary, called IPEX, but then i see it listed for sale as, "U.FL/IPEX to SMA Antenna Lead."
Also do you see a noticeable difference in increased range, when using these twin external full size SMA antennas on the DJI O3 vs a 5" Freestyle Build with a stock DJI O3 Antenna on it?
Here for the algorithm and JBs idylic weather....Its always sunny and calm, so jealous, its not fair...😳🙄🇬🇧
The area you're living in is so effin gorgeous man! ❤
Yea, the CP antenna is weaker head on. But its almost 100% omnidirectional while the LP is very sensitive to alignment. At30deg misalignment of LP antennas you have same signal strength and the CP stays at the same while the LP continues to fall...
I like to attach my video base to the top of the quad. It allows me to run cables under them
nice choise of music
Linearly polarized is a great point
almost 40 seconds at full speed !
those 7 inches feel so athletic compared to 5 inchers. They effortlessly take altitude, and this is subjectively reinforced by the sound difference due to larger props.
at 130 km/h the aerodynamics start to matter so maybe it's good thing to have those annoying sideplates. Maybe they just need to be redesigned to incorporate silicon inserts (like gopro to access usb) for maintenance. It would look professional without requiring a screwdriver.
Now I know why you became a patreon of Venjent!
I still can’t decide if I like the Moz7 or the new Croc better. The Moz is def a sexy design. And rips.
I rip the living heck out of my chimaera7… but it is so easy to fly and chill too. I really want the moz7 to compare!
With regrads to the antenna... if you have lhcp on your quad and you get the TrueRC antenna for the Goggles 2 would that not be a great match up?
Hi Josh, WoW ! A Moz 7, very nice. But I don't have DJI googles ? I have don't know if I like the side plates, I heard the 03unit runs hot, so I'm not sure if covering the 03. Yes the Moz has a heatsheald but other frames don't. 2809 1280kv motors is OK, I have 2808 1100kv on my Source one 7in, i wound like to see a lower kv. I love that GPS, Thanks again for the video and information about this quad.
Those motors are really something. There hugee
Oh yes that intro with music from venjet. "Oh thats cool and that are gonna move" ;-)
Would you sugguest 5” X frame or DC frame, which one more flex, im consider 2 of geprc m5 dc vs speedybee master 5 v2….!
Cruising at around 90MPH... SWEET!
Thank you for good videos. My moz7 has a problem that the current consumption(mAh) is not displayed properly. Is yours the same? Even after flying for 10 minutes, it is said that only 400mAh has been consumed, and the current consumption does not change despite the change in the Throttle.
There are stl files on thingiverse for the Quadmula bushings that clamp down on tpu that you were trying to find the other day on your livestream. I have their 3" so I have the aluminum ones of theirs, but I 3d printed some out of PETG and you can clamp down on them pretty good without tearing the TPU. They aren't as good as metal, but seem good enough for the job.
Yep can do a lot more with a 7 inch over a little 5 inch 🎉
I was thinking if I could put two FPV cameras on there(if dji or Walksnail get as good as go pro) then someone else can ride along to see how it’s recording or could ride along for a third persons view of set up that way. Anyway my point is the FPV style camera is lighter and you could stack them attach one to the bottom one to the top of the frame. the weight would be balanced. Instead of a honking GoPro on the top of the quad it would be a small camera. I don’t know thought I was having about it. I’m not sure if you can double up the tx rx the draw power from two places or need a flight controller that does two cameras at once.
Joshua, I keep thinking about getting something other than my Avata to fly in the mountains here in Northern Calif. but I'm so used to DJIs system. Beta flight and the batteries scare the crap out of me...hey I'm old...fear of change...I know I can fly one, its the set up I'm fearful of...is it THAT hard to set them up for a newbie?
Can anyone tell wich one is better at strong wind? I think the Chimera has a little bit more power. Is that correct?
Maybe I am wrong, but do the Dji V2 Googles not also have linear antennas, just like the googles 2? Dji specs. say, that the V2 original stubbys are "linear".
I'm telling you. I will always stay at the field to watch a pack ran on a 7 inch platform, micros are so easy to fly as an established pilot. It takes actual skill to fly some weight. Just my opinion
Try 1x LHCP and 1x RHCP antenna on the drone, compare that to dual LHCP as well as a single tall dual linear from FlyFishRC. The DJI goggles v1 antennas were LHCP (2 notches on the antenna tip) but the v2 goggles came with dual band linear (3 notches on the antenna tip) and very similar to the antennas DJI is using on the Goggles2/Integra.
Regarding ND filter on the O3 I find that an ND16 is almost always too much and the ND8 is the most used filter I have. I actually need another one and an ND4 if I can find one.
If I had this drone I would throw away that plate over the O3 sdcard and usb access and just use black electrical tape. Otherwise it looks like a good workhorse.
hello Brandon. What is the point of using 1LHCP 1RHCP antenna? Isn't the loss of both polarization is the same when they are matched with linear antennas on the goggles?
@@gloriousquads the point being try and see! Just experimental science, that's all.
@@BrandonBeans I see
the tanq has practically a case for the 03 cam but they recommend 100% infill. Didnt work. I made a squishy one that kind of did. but back to 100% and 128k and ultimately that thing is not safe in my freestyle frames, idk yet.
@josuha bardwell. Hey mate did you get the chance to compare circular vs linear antennas yet? Thanks for your work!!
What battery were you using doing long punches like that
Inav needs compass and barometer for gps waypoint function.
Did it survive when you crashed it at the beginning? I guess yes but did it get damaged or no? Thanks!
Be curious how you like these props (T-Motor C7.5x4.6x3 Cine Tri-Blade) on both the moz7 and chimera7. Personally the chimera flys better with these props than the hq props it can with
What’s that one small drone your favourite
Ripping! 🎉
What’s the differences between the MOZ7, Crocodile75 and MK5D LR7?
I love motion blur when I'm flying but sadly there are no Nd filters for analogue cameras
AGHAHAHA, I was just looking on youtube a review about this drone.. on time
I'm positive the GPS on your Chimera 7 is the M8, not the m10. Both the iFlight M8 and M10 GPS units have a compass, but you have to add the SDA and SCL wires to the plug. I don't think iFlight wants people to use the compass with Betaflight because it's really glitchy.
Oh that's interesting. I assumed since it was only 4 wires that it didn't have a compass.
Hi Joshua! Do you have maybe some method to get the full betaflight dvr recorded in Googles V2 with the O3 unit? I don't have them rooted and I heard that if I updated the fw of O3 and V2 so they can work together, I won't be able to root the devices and get the DVR. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
love the cruising shots .. 7inch quad is impressive
Hi, what esc unit does the GEPRC moz7 HD use?
Great video man! Could it fly well with the 8000mah li-ion battery from iflight?
Yes for sure just like the chimera. Geprc is also making this 8AH battery, they say it flies for 20min w gopro or 30 w/o
Ok, I have no clue about batteries, and am trying to learn, read a bunch of stuff about Li-on vs. Li-po, get the charging time difference, but they don't focus on discharge, This drone company sells a Li-On battery for it, my question is; If flying long range would it benefit at all from the same rated V and mAh Li-po battery? Would it matter?
Hi. I have a Diatone Mamba F722MK4 + F65-128K Stack 3-6s bone stock or uppdate esc? And what to install and settings on esc? And i was uppdating The Flight Controller to a new firmware, and when i took the Cli dump and put it on the new firmware i got manny Errors. Is tatt ok?
i dont know bout the drone but the song is sick!!
dNb
Спасибо друг за ваш труд.
What's the flight time of the moz7?
4:30 you would think that a company would put a push and release button or even a half lock twist. Then easy access.
At first i was like "Do i have Venjent page open and music playing?" huh?
help pliz what batery i need to buy for MOZ7 tbs nano rx???
sounds like an electric chainsaw
It sounds amazingly to me!

What the diference between moz7 analog,dji o3,HD O3???😢😢
Hey if anyone can help I have a moz7 and I needed to send the 03 air unit in for repair an now I’m not able to get it mounted back to the heatsink/mount. The screws don’t seem to be long enough to bite and I’ve tried removing the bottom plate and still nothing. Getting super frustrated because idk what’s different now but I can’t get it mounted.
