  • This folding GPS camera drone is very appropriate for beginner fliers. Weighing only 239 grams, it does not require registration in most countries. Find it here bit.ly/4DRC_F3
    Pros
    - Light weight and folding arms make it easily portable. Comes with its own carrying case for the drone and accessories. Weighing only 239 grams with installed battery, it does not require registration in most countries.
    - Available with both GPS and Optical Flow sensors, or as cheaper version with Optical Flow only for stable automatic horizontal hover. The GPS version also provides other abilities of automatic return to home and landing on command, loss of signal, or on low battery. It also allows use of advanced flight modes such as follow me, and circle position.
    - 7.4V 1800mah battery provides up to 25 minutes of flight time in stable hover. I got 18 1/2 minutes of flight time while maneuvering the drone.
    - FPV video and photos are viewed and recorded directly to your phone via 802.11ac WiFi using the 4DRC Pro. This app is available here on Google Play bit.ly/4DRC-Pro and here on the App Store bit.ly/4DRC_Pro. Video is recorded at 1080p or interpolated 4K resolution, depending on your phone's processor.
    Cons
    - The 4DRC Pro app is very processor intensive. It produced significant lag with FPV video. It also had some unresolved "bugs" in that waypoint flying would not work. Additionally, the geofence feature was using feet for units, while displaying meters.
    - This drone uses brushed motors in order to keep down both the weight and cost of the drone. However, they may require replacement someday as brushed motors are less durable than more costly brushless motors.
    - The drone requires using a phone or tablet with 802.11ac WiFi. Not everyone has this type of WiFi on their devices. Before purchasing, it is very important to first verify that your phone is capable of using 802.11ac WiFi. To do such, simply Google search your phone model, along with the terms 802.11 and specifications. Then see if 802.11ac shows up in the search results.

      I bought this Dag - Gum drone ( 4DRC - F3 ) mainly bc of your video. In general you like I, like all drones. But you don't like everything about one drone. The 4DRG - F3 you did.
      I want to fly commercially but until I win the lottery, I fly things like this. Maybe I'll post a 30 second video of my virgin flight when it arrives.

I'm also having some difficulty with the 4DRC Pro app in that it keeps going to "detecting device" which takes me back to the initial start page and I have to go through all the GPS setup functions and compass sync. Any help would be most appreciated. Cheers!!

    Hi there from the UK. Many thanks for such an informative video, great advice.
    So, I bought one of these creatures off of the back of your review and have 2 quick comments and one query I hope you can assist with.
    Comments as follows.... circle mode worked, but it transcribed its circle with its centre about 10m away from me! No idea why.
    Waypoint nav worked fine. Go figure.
    My big question though is..... as ive only got 32Gb main phone memory and only about 4Gb free, then is there a way the App can be configured to send drone footage to the phone's external SD card? NB. My phone is capable saving the entire feed and not doing the interpolation thing your phone did.
    Anyway, thanks for a great review and please note its entirely your fault I bought it. 😂
    PS funniest comment ive seen in a long time from the guy who mentioned.... do the elastic bands come with the drone 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍

    It's good that you mention that this drone is using 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Lots of people are having trouble pairing this drone with their phone not realizing that their phone doesn't support the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard. Some of the adverts for this drone incorrectly mention the 2.4 GHz support which further deepens the confusion.
    Recently, I'm having trouble with the controller which is beeping constantly. The period between beeps is getting shorter after a half a minute or so. Any idea what could cause this?

    @LegacyBridge Před 2 lety +1

    1) Did you eventually adjust your phone video settings to capture 4K? If so, how? I have the v4 version and the video is capturing SD video only. My phone is set to 1280x720p at the moment. 2) Tried calibration by phone and remote. My drone automatically flies in it's desired direction using the "1 push take-off". It doesn't matter which direction that it's facing on the ground, it chooses a direction. In order to get the drone to hover in place, did you add manual readjustments with the remote bumper buttons prior to your 1 button takeoff?

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  Před 2 lety +1

      The V4 is an entirely different drone than the 4DRC F3 or F4. The V4 is a low cost, beginners learn to fly drone. Its camera is not the same as the F3. It also does not have GPS hover control like the F3, and must be flown manually. That's why it drifts when you fly it. Any wind will push it. You must manually counter the drifting by moving the right stick to maintain hover (it takes a lot of practice). Its camera is only 720p. The app software can electronically interpolate to 1080p, but it offers no improvement in video quality, since its electronically stretched to the higher resolution (it will still look 720p).

    HI, sorry but I dont understand this optical flow mode, can you please explain it and what would you use it for over GPS mode, thanks.

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  Před 2 lety

      Optical flow mode allows the drone to hover automatically without drifting. It does this by using a belly camera that looks down at the ground. The onboard flight control board (computer) uses this imagery to automatically adjust pitch and roll to prevent the drone from drifting. This is mainly useful indoors where GPS satellite signals may be blocked. It also can be useful outdoors for a quick launch of the drone without need of calibrating the GPS compass. The disadvantage of optical flow is that it doesn't keep track of its position. Thus it can't be used to conduct an automatic return to home and landing (like you can do with the GPS activated)..

    • @Quadcopter101
      @Quadcopter101  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Some phones will alert you that there is no connection to the internet in the WiFi signal (which is true). But then, some phones may ask you after 20 seconds if you wish to stay connected to that WiFi. If you don't select "Stay connected", they will automatically disconnect you. The next time you fly, and after you connect to the WiFi signal, stay on your phone's WiFi settings page for about 20 seconds. See if that no internet warning window pops up. If it does, select "Stay connected".

    Just got this drone and was loving it for the first few minutes till the batteries died. Now I am pretty sure they arent charging as the charging cable just stays red (manual says it should flash green, mine just stays solid red). Any advice would be appreciated, it will cost as much as the drone itself to return it. I kept it on for 2 hours and took it off charge and it still said "low battery"
