For the modular o3 concept, @protofpv frames (most of them) allow for more or less modular mounting. A few screws to pop it out and then just screw it all back into the new frame. It’s pretty cool. I love modular, especially with multiple quads needed for various operations. Just makes things easier.
@@JonFloFPV I’ll have to look into those frames. With the price of a DJI O3 or soon O4 unit, it’d be nice to have some interchangeability. Additionally if you’re doing a shoot you could have a back up ready to go in case it breaks. Thanks for watching and providing some insights & tips!
@@DanielJohnFPV yea Norway’s landscapes are some of the best I’ve seen. Great place to live and obviously fly FPV! Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment!
@@DanielJohnFPV great place to live, peaceful, safe, & beautiful. Plenty of weather here though, can be rainy, windy, snowy for weeks. The sun is funny; 6hrs of light during mid winter, but 24hrs in mid-summer! Most towns have low populations so there’s very few restaurants or bars outside of the major cities. Moving here from EU is easy, but from the USA would require some special reason. I’m from NY originally but married a girl from Norway, so it was no problem for me to get residency. You should definitely come for the visit. Let me know for sure if you do, I can help with lodging and logistics.
@@DanielJohnFPV yea, I’ve chatted with a couple, and would to do some collaborations but literally have no time. Work remotely, Run a farm, Wife, & Two Little Kids… so I sneak in flights occasionally & do all my editing late night. I’d love nothing more than to just cruise around Norway & make FPV content! But life… haha!
@@tamasdebreczeni5335 Yea I thought so. It was be great especially for professionals you might want to use different quad for different shots! I’ll reach out to them and mention it directly, solid business idea honestly! Cheers!
Wow, that intro hooked me for the rest of the video, nicely done! UA-cam reviews can fall into such a routine it's awesome to see this level of production value!
@@colibrifpv Hey thanks man! Yea, most reviews are a bit systematic & begin to feel the same. That style is much better from a production standpoint, as I spend at least 4x longer editing these video than other creators I’ve talked to… but it’s purely a hobby/passion for me. A means to practice editing & film making techniques. As such I only publish one video a month, and my channel grows crazy slow in comparison, but again it doesn’t matter. I do really appreciate you checking out the video and leave such a nice comment! I always enjoy watching your videos because you often have different/unique insights than other reviewers, so definitely keep up the good work!
@@GhostFpv thanks man. I always try to do something different with my reviews. There’s enough “unbox, read the specs, do a backyard flight” reviews out there already… also I’m not trying to make money on these videos. Video editing is a hobby, a fun past time, and hopefully people find the videos entertaining. Anyway I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment, it definitely helps grow the channel, cheers!
@@Dec1duousTree yea, I love this thing too. Tiny drone the can record 4k120 is a welcome addition to my collection. Like I said in the video it’s be cool if the DJI O3 cage easily popped off and could be popped onto other quads. The price for just the drone is very reasonable, but to put a DJI O3 on everything gets expensive. Anyway thanks for watching, appreciate the comment.
Hey @AMS_Dronez thanks for watching! It’s a great little quad and I definitely recommend it. However I don’t have affiliate links, if that’s what you mean. If you want to support the channel, Likes Comments & Sharing my content helps a ton! Or “Buy Me a Coffee” is cool of course, but this channel is just for fun & to share stuff with the community.

@@JEPhotodesign after tightening them a few times I thought about using locktite, but instead just replaced the nut with an extra rubber bushing, then tightened the bolt. This seems to be working well so far. If I have issues I’ll try your suggestion, thanks for watching and sharing a tip!
@@Bikingbark Interesting. Yea I noticed it because suddenly i had jello in my video feed… then discovered these nuts, tightened them, jello gone. But I’ve had to do this again more than once. Yesterday I just removed the nuts & installed some extra rubber bushings. Tighten everything up and it flys great. I think this will be a permanent fix for me. My first thought was to use locktite but then I notice one of the nuts seemed to have stripped threads (Wasn’t able to fully tighten it up). Thanks for watching & confirming, certainly not a big deal but as it can cause jello it’s an important thing to note!
@@InfinityDrones Yea I can’t compare unfortunately, but over the years I’ve had a couple 3” cinewhoops, and this is much smaller & lighter which makes it great for flying tight lines. I have a dozen quads of various sizes, but for cinematic FPV I could probably get by with just this quad & my trusty 7” quad. My only hesitation is DJI O3 footage quality, I haven’t spent enough time using the O3 footage yet, in general it seems my GoPro 11 performs better in most situations, but I’m working on a comparison video about that now. So we’ll see if we can’t “close the gap” a bit. Thanks for watching, appreciate the support!
@@GiantAntCowboy Gopro will have bettery dynamic range i think. I think you'll find that you'll get the best footage from O3 in dlog mode and at lower fps. Think the gopro being a separate camera definitely gives it the edge since you can run 24fps (getting more light on that sensor) vs the 60fps from the O3. The O3 really reminds me of the Gopro 9 camera quality but with the 10bit colour option - Would say it compares to the 9-10 more and the 11 should beat it comfortably.
@InfinityDrones yea the high contrast/dynamic range seems to be the biggest issue. I’ve been experimenting with CineLog, but just need to spend more time testing different settings. I think my GoPro 11 will always be superior, but if I can get close enough that’s fine, especially since this Pavo20 is not going to be carrying a GoPro of any sort.
@@JonFloFPV haven’t had the video or RX signal completely drop out. But both the antennas on the quad should be upgraded if you need more penetration performance. Ultimately it’s a 2” quad designed for indoor or light outdoor use, so it’s not an issue, just an potential upgrade.
@@chunkit78 that looks pretty cool. I always liked SpeedyBee stuff, seem to have well designed features. But now they need 2”, 5” & 7” quads that this use this same O3 Cage.
@@jumpstartfpv yea,.. it doesn’t do that, my bad. I recorded this voice over at like 2am, and was referring to how the ELRS Wifi just connected to my computer and was a simple setup. I figured someone would catch this.., glad to see you were paying attention!
@@le_ti_lik cool, I just checked out their website/different quads, definitely seem like nice options and pretty similar indeed. Honestly though in the last 5 years most quads have become nearly identical. There’s minor changes in frames & motors, but most improvements are barely noticeable to the average pilot. One thing I do like about the Pavo Series is that they come without a VTX/Camera, so you can buy the quad for $100 and use existing FPV gear. As I said in the video it’d be really cool if the O3 Cage fit could snap on to various drones. So you could quickly swap the O3 between quads! Anyway thanks for watching, and sharing your experience, cheers!
@@GiantAntCowboy That's the thing, they all fly similar but none of them fly as good as an oddity. :D People have gotten accustomed to mediocrity, not high performance. They also sell a no-o3. If you ever break the pavo I highly recommend getting an oddity frame and transplanting into that. You'll get more flight time, better flight performance and you'll never break the duct. Beta, gep and the rest might have cloned the looks but none of them got the plastic mixture right and some of them even have air pockets inside the ducts making them brittle af.
