You have to give DarwinFPV credit. They came out of nowhere, and have stuck it out, and are making new products. They have opened up entry level quads to people that do not have the skill to build yet.
You sure do. I've looked at many of their models since they started. They've always made value for money stuff.... Happy flying
Their name and mascot is hilarious too
Yea they really making a name for themselves
BabyApe was my go to toy for a while when I started
Oh, BTW, about the screws, you could use a thumb screw. Even 3d print a head for a normal screw. 😊
That would have been a nice idea for DarwinFPV. Maybe they can start to provide them... Happy flying
Thank you for the review Lee.
Cheers!
Hi Lee, Great video and review of the Darwin Foldape 4, I have to admit that I am liking Darwin quads. I have several others that are flying great. The folding frame actually works great, but I wish it had a Ratel instead of the ant,but Darwin trying to save when they can. I appreciate that it comes with a Thumb or Peanut HD camera mount. I don't have a printer to build one. Give it a month or two and Darwin will have a pro version. Thanks for the video and information about this quad.
Good review
Darwin first inexpensive long range. First completely waterproof drone, now they have a 9" and now a foldable! 🙌🏽
Talk about full circle, folding quads were the rage years ago, Vortex 285 was one :)
Usually highest flight time is movign forward no wind. So prob flying like 20mph maybe 25mph steady.
Amazing flying and review, Lee! 😃
Do you think the Moonlight would fit in it?
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
No, not enough room without mods... Happy flying
I have this being delivered tomorrow can't wait. Can you recommend a better GPS module that would be a drop in replacement?
I'm not aware of a direct replacement that'll be the same size. If you find one, please let me know.. Best of luck
I assume eventually you will be able to buy the frame separately like their other quads to build a custom version.
I'd expect so... Happy flying
No sence in getting only the frame, because motors are 3 hole custom mount
@@chrisbee5481 a drill could fix that pretty easily
Do you know a link for buying a 3 hole mount motor for spare. There's only 4 hole on their site.
Please upload a video of you convert this to walksnail, I would also like to attempt this.
It'll be the same as this czcams.com/video/yenvvxq_Ovs/video.html
Hopefully the flight controller doesn’t cook itself like my Babe ape pro 😂
does the drone use a TX60 or TX30 battery connector?
XT30
@@Painless360 ok thanks!
I have a question, I bought the this fold 4 by Darwin, I connected to PC and accidentally hit the flash key, and it erase the firmware, tried rebooting button but nothing happened, Do I need to buy a fc for it, Thanks.
You should be able to reload the software and settings... It depends on what you actually pressed... Best of luck
@@Painless360 I only hit the flash one, Anyway you can direct me to a firmware I can download, I have no clue were to begin kinda new at this
Check out the Quad Build for Beginners series from December - all the steps are in there... Best of luck!
Hi.Can I fit 3blade props if i want to? Wouter
Yes you can but you will pay a flighttime penalty..
@@Painless360 Thanx. Your channel is tops🤠👍🇿🇦
do you think this could lift a Gopro Hero 11 Mini?
That is 133g, I doubt it would fly well, if at all, with that much extra weight...
Is this company part of RunCam / Speedybee group or are they just riding on Speedybee pupularity while copying theyre style? Starting from logo and going to color scheme of the drone. Everything reminds Speedybee Mario series, especialy Mario 8.
If they were, I doubt they would be using that awful Caddx Ant! 😁
Micro USB...
Meh. Bargain bin parts: F411 15A. The mini usb is a dead giveaway that's it's obsolete. M80 gps? Just why? And the godawful Ant camera!
I'd rather build myself a 4 inch quad using Speedybee mini stack, Cadex Ratel 2 or Runcam Phoenix 2 & HGLRC M100 GPS that gets a GPS fix within a minute of cold boot!
This was designed to hit a price-point and still fly well. I would have preferred a few tweaks too but that would have pushed up the price.. Happy flying!
