Steve thank you for flying quads, just the way they are shipped, not all of us are up to speed with changing the setting on beta fly, still learning. As usual great video, your braver than me flying in the snow, I am Just not there yet. 😊
Thanks Don!
I fly this thing with 850mah lipo, I feel its the best middle ground for power and range. the 4s Lilo cell feels too heavy and weak and if something went wrong I don't feel like you'd have the power to come out of it; especially if you are carrying an action camera 50-100g with the lilo would be really heavy, it "can" carry them, but don't.
I run a run cam thumb 4k with the 850mah gets an easy 10 minutes with plenty of room to spare, and I have the extra power to weight when its needed.
Your sooo lucky that you have snow, where I live there is none!
The great thing in Canada is that we have 4 very distinct seasons. Our snow season lasts about 3.5 months.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 haha, no way, Its super rare for me at all!
This is the way u do a review simplified and to the informational point 👉. Thank you for your time and effort 👌.
I appreciate that!
many thanks for your videos that are so complete and interesting !! This quad seems to be close to perfect, one key point being the low noise level. Thanks to the DJI air unit, now we have the opportunity to have a so good video feed back.
Not gonna lie that playground in the background at the beginning looked huge
Mine finally shipped out today! Can't wait for an Explorer with 4K recording ability under 250g. Steve, your video looked quite good.
Hope you enjoy it!
I had one for two yrs and just bought new version!still have old one too 😀
Thanks for the explanation at 11:37, invaluable to us beginners. I wish all review videos came with this.
Great review. I'm so jealous of the snow you get where you live because where I live, we don't get any most years, and when we do get it, it's gone by the end of the day one love 🙏 👊
🙏👊
Very detailed to best select desired receiver thank you
Still the best reviewer for the RC community. Thanks Cap!!!
Thank you!
I just received the drone and tested today and it's a fun little drone and so quiet compare to my Avata and DJI FPV. I was also surprised how it handle in the wind too.
Wow! This drone always impresses.
Here we are about 1 year after this video was posted and the LR4 is out, and I want one!
Looks great! Glad they made a version with the 03 air unit! #stayepic
Another fantastic review, Cap'n - and yet another toy to consider spending money on :-). Thanks as always!
Excellent review, thanks so much from Spain
wonderful review captain.
About the Return to Home: Betaflight 4.4 has upgraded it's Return to Home feature, now it's fully capable of landing. There's a Joshua Bardwell video about this.
Excellent!
Woooooooowww superb and fantastic drone brother
You make it look so easy Cap. Nice review.
great video as always
Great review! Very thorough, and I like that you described the gear needed for the different options.
Glad you found it helpful.
🇨🇦Excellent review and a great video! Man you have balls to fly in all that cold snow! I’m a fair weather flier from southern Ontario🇨🇦
Thanks! I do the RC hobby (planes, drones, planes, trucks) all year long so the cold becomes just another obstacle (just means I can't play outside as long as I'd like to).
Fun flights and great review !😃
Great review - it seems like a nice little FPV to buy and ease into the hobby. 👏👏😊✨
Capt! Thanks for flying this drone again! Super excited to buy this version. I would recommend this quad to any drone squadron!!!👍👍
They now have a walksnail version of this with the new pro or v2 vtx looking like almost what I was hoping for. I was looking for HDzero but the"night vision" look really cool.
Hi Steve.....That would make a great first time FPV.....Thanks for the hard work.......👍
@5:09 you got the average of the cells not the weakest! The FC doesen't know through the XT30 the cell voltages.
Such a neat little drone! I wonder how it does on a windy day! Compared to say the iflight 7” obviously not quite as good but I wonder! :) I like the price of this one better 😅Awesome review as always! You really nail it! Great flying! Stay warm out there, see you next time!
Awesome quad, love it. Thanks for review
Good morning captain nice drone. It's looks cold
Might be my next quad. Looks like an amazing little drone!
Would love to get one of these . This hobby is pretty expensive. Im slowly getting in to the hobby. Currently have the v2 googles, and the v2 controller which i have bought 2nd hand from people . Currently saving some cash for a drone and looking to get the avata or the i flight defender 20 but this looks ver nice too
Many thanks for sharing Captain; apart from what looks to be a very good Drone (no doubt helped with the DJI add on); it just highlighted the extreme contrast of weather conditions where you are located (RTH portion of the video versus present day!); also, the low swoop along the road looked great !!!
I bought the analog frame kit of the Flywoo Explorer LR 4 V2 so I can build a long distance FPV drone of my own, because someone wouldn't sell me their PowerEgg lol , and I really love it, I still got to get parts to finish it so I can fly and I can't wait, I have a question, do you still have to make a account with Dji inorder to use the 03 unit and V2 goggles
Another good review under your belt. I like this drone and debating on which one to buy.
PS: I don’t know how you can fly in that kind of weather. I am uncomfortable when it gets below 60 deg F. Of course I am old and live near the Gulf of Mexico. I guess it is what we get accustomed to. 😊
Good review again Steve. Another neat Quad.
You need a radio mitten. I can't find a listing. Perhaps a knitter among you circle of friends could make you one.
Merci pour cette vidéo instructive, et bravo par ce froid 👍
Can't go wrong on the price
Always good information enjoy the week
I like the footage
Hello Captain Dron!
Excellent review, excellent quadcopter, I ordered such an order for myself. I want to ask you, when you review drones, write the geometric dimensions of the drone, frames, space for the FPV camera. Best wishes. hello to you from Russia. Thank you very much for your videos!
Happy Drone, gread Video. Nice 😊
Really nice review insane set up
Always liked the performance of the rekon better then the flywoo. I think rekon in a bit larger but the flywoo was very shaky I hope this new model has taking care of that?! Thanks for the great video Steve live my stickers
I would like to know why you said you won't find it if you crash, can't you just track the gps location? It look somewhat precise and that beeper should make it even easier. Or do you mean the snow is too deep and you wont bother going there?
Finding people trapping in snow is very difficult. Finding a drone crashed in the snow is almost impossible.
Hi Steve, I really enjoy your UA-cam channel. I'm new to the drone hobby, I have a bugs 2W with only 1 hour of flight time. I very interested in the fvp goggles but I'm on a fixed income. What drone would you recommend that would work with the fvp goggles?
FPV goggles are for the FPV Drone hobby. The BUGS drone is what is called a GPS position hold CAMERA DRONE. It is not in the FPV hobby. Almost every drone on the market with GPS built in for the purpose of stability (i.e., you can let go of the joysticks and it remains in place in flight) is not an FPV drone and FPV goggles do not exist for such drones.
I bought one on the 12th and waiting due to lunar year. Longest wait ever
Everyone came back from the Chinese holiday yesterday, so daily life returns and products begin to move.
Brilliant video subbed! This will be my first drone after about 30 hours in a simulator. Would you say the rates that come with the drone are manageable? I know you said in the video it was a "Sunday flyer" I am just worried i'm going to crash in the first 20 seconds! I intend to get longer threaded sticks for the controller 2
Very manageable if you have some experience as an FPV pilot
Very cool! I think it is interesting how to setup the dji remote controller and dji O3 in betaflight. Will you make a video on this? Thanks
Hi Steve, great video, you nailed it! I do wonder how the performance is when it has a full-size GoPro on. I am debating between Flywoo explorer lr 4 and iFlight nazgul5. Which one do you use more often?
The Nazgul 5 could carry a full sized GoPro. The flywoo would not like the additional weight.
My first 4s fpv drone was an explorer similar to this, but not as nice. My other one was 1s. I crashed it on the maiden flight attempting to do free-style maneuvers. I broke an arm and the gps flew off. I never found the gps antenna. 😆
That sounds like me when I began learning to fly FPV
But where is the 4K 60fps footage recorded? Does drone have an internal sd card slot where the video is recorded?
Exactly, as long as you get the version with the DJI O3 Air unit.
With a long range battery this becomes 400g?
Hello Mr. Captain. I'm from Poland and I really like your videos about drones. Unfortunately my english is very limited so google translate helps me. I have Flywoo exploren with cadax vista and ELRS receiver. I have a request for help because I fly cinematik mode and it's enough for me, i.e. without acro. How to land safely without breaking the drone's arms. Somewhere I saw them landing this drone like a dji. Can you help me?
It just takes practice to land well. You need to have a finger on the motor arm switch and press it when you are 5 inches off the ground and not moving forward very fast.
It’s funny, the same happened to my quad. I guess it’s from Flywoo. I was packaging shrink wrap, cause the DJi antenna to bend to the right. I’ve been trying to straighten it out by putting it in an opposite direction with weight. It seems to help a little bit, but I get annoyed seeing the right bend on it. I wonder if it would affect range or performance in bed.
What do you do with the old reviewed quads, any for sale like this one?
Nice cold🥶 review and great little FPV quad captain 👏👍 if I understand well the DJI remote version one (big black controller) and the goggles V1 can work only with the DJI Air Unit older system, right? Or with some other brands older digital FPV system. The DJI O3 Air Unit works only with newer goggles and remote 2. Anyway great little RTF drone!
Correct. DJI dropped support for the Black FPV radio controller with the new O3 system.
Guys be careful if you want to update to BF 4.4.0 has a bug, the accelerometer is not detected !
I have video to the goggles, but I have no idea how to bind the DJI controller 2. Is learning Betaflight a must for me to start flying the Flywoo LR?
Watch my video CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS EPISODE 12
Hello! First i want to say Nice review!!! :) But got a question too, I have Flywoo Explorer O3 with elrs 2.4ghz version and Dji goggles V2 with original antennas and the video range is pretty shit i would tell, so i been looking around and found Lumenier AXII HD 2 Patch Visor 5.8GHz and iFlight Crystal HD Patch 5.8GHz. Can i use these antennas with my goggles V2 and with my Explorer elrs 2.4ghz drone ?
Yes, but ensure they are indeed for the V2 Goggles (only) as the V1 goggles use a simpler communication design and many antennas on the market at a good price are for the V1 Goggles. Also be aware that FPV drones are designed for line of sight at range, so if you fly and your head is looking not directly at the drone or something is between you and the drone, you're not gonna get much range.
Is this drone geofenced and height limited like a dji drone? I'm trying to get into FPV and I'm confused about how it all works with the air unit vs some other controller.
In the FPV hobby there are no limitations in the drones since they are pretty much hot rods. Fly as fast as you wish, as high as you wish, as far as you wish. Of course you do this all within the regulations set by your country.
Cool
You said that with the 1100mah battery it lasts approximately 10 minutes of flight, do you know exactly how long it lasts flying freestyleexactly?
Freestyle… maybe 4 minutes
Hi Captain, wonderful review as always! just a question, have you hydro coated FC or not? isn't it a bit risky to fly under snow?
I do not hydro coat the electronics. In the hundreds of videos of me flying during the winter season you’ll notice that if I ever land or crash in snow, I just disconnect the battery before the snow has a chance to turn to water.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks for the info! going to try soon, let's hope for the best! 😬
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 isn't it turning into water during flight due to warm esc components?
@@mateuszjasek Oh, I’m guessing you have never lived in Canada. When it is cold out, nothing melts quickly on the warmth of an FPV drone. To get snow/ice to melt in sub freezing temperatures it requires time and high heat.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You're right :) In Poland, where I live, temperatures rather rarely in winter go below 10 degrees
Nice🎉
Thank you for all your videos.
I was wondering if you could suggest a replacement for an MJX RC MEW-4 … you demonstrated this drone probably 2 years ago. I loved all the features of this drone… so a near exact replacement or even a slight upgrade recommendation would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I would suggest that you just have a look at the MJXRC website since every drone they make is simply an improvement over a previous model.
Great review! Is the footage of "What i see in my FVP goggles" HD? I'm new at this but but I thought the Goggles 2 was at least 2K. Why is the recording so much sharper than what you see in the goggles? Thanks for helping me understand this. Would you have any suggestions on how I could get 4k thru goggles? Thanks.
What you see/record in goggles (digital) is usually 720p... some may do 1080p at shorter range. No such thing as a consumer set of goggles showing 4K (at a reasonable price) for the simple reason that the Bandwidth to get a 4K signal with low latency at a distance, is very expensive tech.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks, I needed that explanation. Been wondering about that for some time. So if I can get 1080p or FHD at a reasonable price, buy it -provided the latency is acceptable.
+1!
I haven’t ventured out using my dji fpv controller and goggles yet for anything other then the dji fpv. Is it a difficult process to bind to another dji receiver and is it true I have to re bind it back to the original fpv?
Very simple to do... if you know how. I plan to put out a video next week showing how it is done.
Hey captain drone what fpv kit should i buy the cetus x, tinyhawk 3 or the ez pilot pro?
And wich Gear can i just keep and slowly upgrade
Buy the one that is at the best price because once you learn how to fly properly you are going to want to replace it all with the same gear you see everyone on UA-cam using.
Cool 🤝🤝
Would you go for this or the Defender 25 which you also reviewed?
When you get into similar sized drones (prop size) and those with and without prop guards, they are all very similar. So if you have a 2.5" drone with no prop guards vs another one using the same camera system, results will be similar and the same is true if the drone is a cinewhoop with prop guards. Eventually they have similarities that are within the same realm that makes them difficult to pick one from the other.
Does it ever stop snowing Steve all your videos are in the snow
Canada has 4 distinct seasons. The Winter SNOW season lasts 3.5 months.
Just learning because all I have ever done is fly airplanes. Can I use my ix14 to fly the drone, and if so, does it have just as good of range
The ix14 is a very nice Spektrum radio. Spektrum radios need to talk to Spektrum compatible receivers, so the drone would need a compatible receiver.
What size screws for the props? Just received mine thanks!
Screws? They bolt on with one nut
How loud is this? I want something small I can fly in might front yard neighborhood.
Oh, your neighbours will hear it
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for responding. I guess I will go with a pavo. I just loved the flight time for this tiny drone. Just looking for something super tiny with DJI O3 air unit on board.
Hi, I have a issue with my explorer 4 03 after Armin motor starts spinning like crazy and I have no control over throttle. Any idea what could be wrong?
Thank you
Kind regards
That is normal for all FPV drones. If you run the motors on the ground it expects to FLY... and since it is not flying it thinks something is wrong and spins up the motors faster.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you. Have a wonderful day 👍🙂
Awesome video! I have noticed a couple of the FPV drones you have use 3d printed parts. Do you own a printer? If so which one?
I do not own a 3d printer. Those parts are manufactured by the company that sells the drone.
Cool 👌
Yes but Flywoo screwed me and i lost 500 Bucks so i will never buy there again. Maybe a warning for everyone out there as well. If your Package gets lost they are a not willing to investigate or refund and then they ignore every contact.
Nice to see a lot of snow you have. Could you advice if this drone is good for flying in the mountains along the ridges, I guess I will need 3 to 5 km range. I’m flying DJI mavics but here in EU we have signal power restriction and I’m loosing connection about 2km. I’m new to fpv do I need to purchase DJI Googles and DJI remote separately, do they sell them separately? Thanks, hopefully we get more snow in the Alps , cheers Ed
I have flown mine 2.5km away from me, on a 1700m high mountain. Had no reason to go further.
Regulation is there , but you can blast your vtx power full in a remote areas, who will complain...
Flying in mountains means you need plenty of lift, and great signal. I am not familiar with the EU signal reduction and range so I can't help there. Yes, in the FPV hobby, you buy any gear you wish. There are some beginner FPV drones that sell everything you need in a box, but this is not one of those.
So I can use the original DJI FPV radio? First time I've heard that.
Correct
Looks like a great build. Do you know a 5" stretch-x frame with swappable arms that is as sturdy as a freestyle frame with a long center body?
Hmmm.... not sure. Perhaps have a look at the IFLIGHT website.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I'll have a look at it. Please make sure to tag me if you do come across one
Hey there steve! Another great video review! I've had this quad with the 03 system for about a month now. One issue I'm having is if I sort of dive or descend quickly the Drone gets a little crazy on me. I'm not sure what settings to change to smooth that out. Has anyone else had this issue
Mine does that to, shakes like crazy when cutting throttle.
It is too light, it is a slow decender.
Probably an issue with PROPWASH (weight of drone, angle of attack, speed at which motors adjust, etc). You could tune it out in the PID settings but then you'd probably just inject another unwanted issue in normal flight.
Thank you, I'm curious Can I cut off that receiver wire? It looks as If you put it under the battery to get it out of the way is that right.
That is what I did. I keep it just in case I need it in future. You could remove it if desired.
Have a question the elrs/crossfire/frisky what type of range do they provide those 3 systems if you have a radio compatible it will work with any one of those systems just wondering if that was correct I don't know alot about them just trying to educate myself a little more thank you for all the great reviews as always 👍
ELRS and crossfire are long range (farther than DJI). Frsky has the least amount of range.
Will the yagi antenna enhance a controller with internal antenna only?
I'm not sure what that is
hi, how can you fly snowy day in the winter. is that waterproof? Captain speedy bee
Every year I fly all winter long and have never had a problem. Just follow this advice: If you land in the snow or crash in the snow, you have to unplug the battery and remove all the snow before it melts. As soon as snow melts into water, then you have the potential to damage your electronics.
Hi,what switches do you use for video and picture capture?
None. I set it to auto record on takeoff and stop on landing.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I want to record straight from the dji 03 unit on drone,but I'm using a jumper T-Pro that has no dedicated capture or record buttons,and with no sd card in the goggles pressing the goggles v2 record button doesn't work 🤔
@@jasonsuffolk You sound like someone who flies GPS camera drones like DJI. FPV drones are entirely different and not designed for beginners that want a drone, battery, remote all in a box. I have a question… have you even flown an FPV drone?
@CAPTAINDRONE798 I've flown fpv yes,my mistake about pictures, but same applies for recording video,I need a way to record straight from 03 until,how apart from auto record on takeoff can you do it ? I've got flywoo Explorer LR 4 dji 03
@@jasonsuffolk Yes.. press record on your DJI goggles
Video seems to be stabilized. Is it and what software did you use for that?
The video is straight out of the camera. This is why the DJI 03 system is so darn popular as it replaces the need for an external camera.
any recommendations for the best fpv kits?
Look at the Cetus X kit
The beeper keeps annoying anyone for 4-5 hours. "Fingder v1.0 can work for 4-5 hours." Also, the new GPS finds satellites in less than 1 minute. Older GPS's took 6 minutes!
Love my V2, however, I have a huge oscillation issue with it. I think I have kept it so long in hopes I’ll figure it out. Any good CLI dumps for it?
Oscillation refers to vibration… or did you mean Prop Wash? If it it is vibration and If it is stock & no mods to the PIDs/Rates we’re made all should be well. Did it do that from day one? Have you tried the simple things of checking motor angle (run it with props off and ensure motors are perfectly centered). Try different props too.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I get significant vibration when throttle is added. It also tumbled and crashed once when I made a change of direction. Unfortunately, I do not know if it has always done it. I got it”used.” The first time I used it it seemed just fine. I’ll try those things you suggested. I loved it the first couple flights.
Also, never got GPS to work.
I have autel dragonfish pro,now i searching a some mini drone for traveling can you recommend some mini drone?
I am assuming you are speaking of GPS enabled camera drones. If so, there are only two amazing ones to pick from.... DJI or AUTEL. Can't go wrong with either.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 from autel i have the dragonfish pro version so i thinking about the best of the best but in mini version.
I have a hx 100 se and i was adjusting it on betaflight and i accidentally pressed the flash firmware and now the drone dosent work what do i do
I hear this often from newbies to BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR. Normally the people that always do it are those that come from the Camera Drone hobby (like DJI Mavics) because they are used to always updating the firmware. The fix will require that you contact FLYWOO for a DUMP file, or perhaps they have on on their website for the explorer. Once you have the file, you then use the CLI Tab in BETAFLIGHT to load it. Just do a search for any UA-cam video showing how to load a DUMP file in the CLI Tab.
Ok thanks
