Great video Andy, It's a shame we cannot order it here in the UK :-( This kit would have been my choice of entry into FPV if it was, but for now I'll stick to Helicopters.
As you asked for it here is what I would be interested in: Change the receiver to an XM+, put rescue mode on a switch and test it. If it works, fly it in a straight line until you either lose video or failsafe. In both cases rescue mode should have you covered. (Maybe setting up the buzzer before might be a good idea.)
Same. I got it with the fs-i6 radio and quite liked it. Probably even my favourite of the 3 (previous) kits. That tx12 does seem like a nice radio to get with it though. Haven't used it but have it's brother and told its much the same but more compact.
I learned FPV on the Novice 3 package. If I had my time again this would be an awesome one stop setup. The reusability of the goggles and controller is a ++. In another note, love the scenic UK green fields. Great review.
@@AndyRCchannel thank you for all the great reviews Andy. I hope you know it really makes a difference, especially for the lesser experienced. The sharing of knowledge basically for free to everyone is wonderful. Please keep it up.
Looks great, this is what i was looking for when i got into FPV, for what it is offering, seems to be a good offer, hope eachine keeps doing stuff like this because that novice IV is flying smooth And you're the first one I see doing a review of this, keep it up!
Andy why dont yoi wrap the ends of the antenna straws with black electrical tape to make the tight. I did that and they are great. Thankyou for all your videos.
Finally ! B/C the novice 3 the transmitter never worked when I bought it but Banggood did credit me 50 for the transmitter . Hopefully all of it works Properly? .., when I get one for my Buddy for his b/day! Nice video as well & GOD BLESS
I bought the novice 3 package...looking at this i wholeheartedly regret it now 😐 wish id waited for this then id be able to fly my tyro 😭😭 Andy do us a solid and send us that novice 4 😁 i dont usually comment on vids coz ..introvert..but this is worthy of the anxiety
hi andy yes i love long fpv vids they are great, its nice to see a young guy as yourself making something of yourself with a great hobby, well done son, regards mike
Man let me be the first to say I have done extensive research on fpv bundles....I'm new to fpv and almost pulled the trigger on a few but there is always a issue with either the radio sucking or gogs or good gogs and sucky quad or vice versa but that is why I didn't get the novice 2 or 3.....diversity is a must as well as a good radio and neither one of them had both but this one is definitely looking promising!!!! The flight time is insane and so is the gog quality everything in this bundle is great!!!! And the fact that it's sub 250 is awesome!!!!! Looks like I may pull the trigger on this one...FINALLY I CAN GET A ALL IN ONE STARTER KIT👍✌
Pretty amazing flying, Andy! Fantastic review! 😃 It's not always that Eachine does everything right, but when it does... It's great! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
See! You're already replacing the cheap parts to get good quality parts! That's the problem with buying Eachine! Lowest quality parts available are used! They need replacing because the break, fail, it crashes and needs repairing, etc. Just not worth buying! I know, I've bought eachine junk, and it's actually costs you double what you paid, over one or two years of owning the junk! 😩💰💸🤬
Try tuning the Radiomasters TX module Andy...they need a tweak and it will make a lot of difference to the range...I'm looking for a distance cruising 4 inch to run on 4S Lion...So stick an XM plus in it...🤔😳😀🇬🇧
i got mine just a month ago. started flying it without the goggles because 5 mins after turning it on, the screen goes black but still showing OSD, did not know if i got a defective unit or broke it in one of my crashes.
They are always changing stuff up eachine. if they didn't call it a v2 then it's not a v2. They either run out of original parts and had to change or upgrade
great review, I got the Novice 2 package as my first drone, the Novice 2 is a great little toothpick but rest of the gear was rubbish, this looks pretty decent if your just starting. I am still crap at LOS but I am getting better.
can i use parallel board with that charger to charge batteries at once? if not, which cheap charger would you recommend that i can use with a parallel board?
Oh yes! Please! A flight with some 18650 batteries! And nevermind if it's an epic video, I'll grab a snack and a big mug of coffee. ^^ The only big con I see with this one is a confusing choice about the receiver. You had the beeps for low RSSI, according to GPS telemetry, about 150m away from the home point. Not bad but not good too. The LR term would be for Long Runtime and not Long Range. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to let a beginner starting with a quite advanced quad without teaching him to check the setup of the model on betaflight before heading to the field. The modes and receiver test menus must be checked before any startup in my opinion. It's not during the flight we had to guess what switch does what. ^^ At least, the stock tune seems good enough. I guess It'll be only available as a full RTF package and not available separetly as bnf or pnp one, like the other novice models. Thanks for the review. The next day of the publication of it, the package isn't available for purchase yet. You're not late. ^^
I loved the review and planning to buy this kit. Is it possible to mount Naked or Fullsize GoPro on this drone ? If yes, kindly share STL file or any detail for the mount that I can use. Thanks again for reviewing this product.
Hi, I can’t get my GPS to get a fix at all. Even when plugged in to Betaflight it’s always 3D fix ‘false’. I get 4 to 5 different sat id’s, about 5 of each and about 50% signal strength on each. Have left it next to a window for 15 minutes but still nothing. Do you know what else I could try? Cheers 👍
Nice review and very nice starter package with reusable radio and goggles. On the product link I could only find it is a D8 receiver and couldn’t find if it was an SPI or stand alone receiver. If stand alone D8 it should get close to a km. You should do a second review with the gps setup and see what the range is.
Damn it, just went to use the coupon code, can you tell me, did you pay any import tax on it as I'm now looking on bang good and do I do the tariff insurance?
Hey Andy!!! I accidentally reset my novice 4 to default in betaflight like an idiot. Know of anywhere or anyhow I can get a dump file for it or am I screwed
Hows it going man im new to fpv not drones and I just got my novice 4 bundle today!!!! I super stoked to get it in the air however it's raining 😢😫....lol I understand what everything in the bundle does except one little thing....the little black cap thingy????🤔 what is this for ? I'm sure I'm gonna feel stupid when told lol but I don't know what it's for can you or anyone tell me thanks alot awesome review in fact it is what prompted me to buy it 👍✌
Looks like something we can recommend to people wanting to get into FPV, without breaking the bank. Would also love to see you set it up with a D16 receiver and try out the GPS. Keep en coming
they should have done that for sure (radiomaster version) but for under 300 quid its a good one for everything included. it would be a struggle to buy that
It looks too good, but if the instructions are not clear and if there is no bauckup mode for Rc and drone then it will be horrible for beginners. I regret purchasing the novice 3.
To not use anything from china would be very difficult in the drone world. Its all made there :) if you are buying from elsewhere you are just piling money on top of the original price :) just my tip
So maybe you should bin your phone, tv, car, hell the circuit in your shower probably comes from China! not sure why you think some poor person working in a drone factory on piss all wages should be punished for what you think about their government 🤷♂️ 😅 you know the west is the most corrupt place on earth? No country should buy ANYTHING From us!, oh that’s right we don’t actually make fk all! 😆😂🤣
@@AndyRCchannel if the gps minimum is 100m and it failsafes at 101m then the gps will "catch it" before it drops and possibly breaks (I'm assuming its fairly light weight/Fragile like the flywoo) once its back at 100m then we simply take over again. Yes having rth on a switch would enable a test. But the fact that its got a satellite lock would be sufficient. The receiver seemed to only struggle to around 40 when you were low. Above those trees you were flying through it was better. I reckon we'd be surprised by just how much range that d8 had. I didn't notice a direction arrow? (I'll double check after I post this comment) I was very impressed with the vtx! Image quality was excellent! Eachine dm better than cobra x...??? Now thats an interesting comment. My son uses the dm's and I agree they are very good.....but cobra x....
@@gmivisualsjason3729 iv had one fly off in a random direction with poor statlites. Id want at least 14 which the iflight stuff seems to get no problem. 9 seems a bit iffy and im also trusting eachine have set everything up right in betaflight without checking, like most novices wouldnt I think
i wish you'd forced it into rth, just to see what would happen, or did you like it that much you want to keep it in one piece hehehe. shoulda showed noobs how to zip tie up those antennae too, and also eachine shoulda put a bit of heatshrink in too for them.
i didnt want to deal with the stress of it not working and flying away which has happened to me before with low number of sats and settings in betaflight that i had not looked at, on a day that was already challenging mentally. Cheers

hi I broke the left antenna, do you know what the part is called so I can repair it.

@snorkl FPV would there be any videos for showing you how to change out the receiver?
@@chizlerjohn It's easy and there should be plenty of videos because it works similar on any quad.
I found the Novice II kit surprisingly good. TX12 is a great upgrade for their RTF radios.

Pretty amazing flying, Andy! Fantastic review! 😃
It's not always that Eachine does everything right, but when it does... It's great! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I'm buying this one now. Your video was very encouraging.
Hi Andy, I am sorry but how can I order this from banggood if the website says they don’t ship to the UK?
Looks really cool! This might be what gets me into FPV... What parts would you exactly recommend for upgrading the long range capability?
antenna.
Eachine has raised the bar. I have the Novice 3, and as far as I can see Novice 4 is a huge improvement!
14 mins is impressive !! With a XF or ELRS rx and a rush tank vtx, this would truly be a long range model. Full watch 😎👍
See! You're already replacing the cheap parts to get good quality parts! That's the problem with buying Eachine! Lowest quality parts available are used!

How is your fpv signal so good if I go up it gets pretty bad for me even on 800mw
Damn! Well done Eachine, impressive package
i got mine just a month ago. started flying it without the goggles because 5 mins after turning it on, the screen goes black but still showing OSD, did not know if i got a defective unit or broke it in one of my crashes.
Will bangood actually ship this to the u.k though? Cant ship the novice 3 to the u.k anymore 😭
That is a great kit. The battery charger is the only thing that needs to be replaced asap...wow
why tho?
I've buy all those parts separetly, but buy tyro 79, is taking too long to arrive, anxious!! Nice video!
Cloth included to wipe away the tears!
can’t wait for the novice 5
AndyRc what long ange receiver do you recomend ? do i need a new controler for that receiver or is just take the stock out and out the new one ?
Ya but for your first kit and you actually saying its Brilliant. Wish tgis was out when I spent way to much money. Awesome video dude!👍👍👍
That's a hell of a package. Kind of strange though. Making a long range quad and putting in a close range 200mw vtx.
There is a new version of this quad -v2 kinda
They are always changing stuff up eachine. if they didn't call it a v2 then it's not a v2. They either run out of original parts and had to change or upgrade
i actually found your video as its on the banggood page for this package.
nicw review.
Well said Andy, some things are worth investing in. Great vid got my eye on this one
how did you buy this kit from banggoda since this seller does not ship to the uk how can i purchase this kit

I have the same goggles and my DVR isn't nearly as good as yours! Are you using a particular SD card?
Sandisk extreme pro 32gb
It's possible to add go pro on the top? 🤔🤔🤔 Nice setup for the price and what about real battery time? And range?
Go pro is too heavy. It'll work with a naked go pro.
GPS Rescue needs to be min 100m from home to work (you can set this as low as 50m in betaflight). Also, as usual your LOS skills are on point.

Do you have a retourn home button?
What motors and props are they using?
Andy, maybe you can talk them into putting a XM PLUS or a RSXR receiver in it and that would make it great. Cheers ✌

Have you gottten it....? Would you recommend it...?

can handles gopro?
How do you set up the beeper
