DJI Avata has to sell in plenty and we see a lot of drone of a similar complex: bind and fly, ducted, similar form factor and similar looks. After all, if Avata sells well, similar drones have to sell well as well. Right?
What I want to show you today is the iFlight Defender 25, a sub 249g fly everywhere FPV drone. Compact and lightweight with a HD FPV camera DJI Air Unit O3 and Express LRS receiver. No registration, no permits, hassle free flight (in theory). And, what’s interesting, there are no antennas in sight even thought Defender 25 is equipped with GPS and Betaflight out of the box.
Flight controller: iFlight Blitz F722 X1 without analog OSD chip. Flashed with Betaflight, INAV target can be downloaded with a link below.
FPV: DJI Air Unit O3 soft mounted, works great with Gyroflow
GPS: yes!
Magnetometer: no
Express LRS 2.4GHz receiver: yes

Heavy on the Inav advertisement, but I love Pawel, so I can take it.

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome flying and review, Pawel! Thanks! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Hey Pawel,
I guess my suggestion for you to consider doing a video on how to Flash and configure INAV on the Defender 25 is a NO?

Hey Pawel,
Great review and thank you for that.
I’ve ordered one with the GPS and it’s on the way from China to Canada.
You mentioned that the 25 will have no issues with the latest version of INAV. Would you consider doing a video on how to Flash and configure INAV on the Defender 25?
Thanks,
Sam

Amazing review as usually. Inav position hold -GREAT, can we expect emergency brake in future like from dji? I'm still new to fpv (less then 1 year) and 3 drons in collection, 4th in build process. Currently all on Betaflight, perhaps the 4th will get the inav. Gps rescue can pull you out form the dive (BF) but if quad already spinning is game over/ hard landing. 😂 Well assume is a bad pilot/ tune or to heavy battery on quad.

I guess the antenna are hidden in the legs.

one thing, how loud is it? I previously had a Protek35 which is very noisy, I guess that's normal for cinewhoops. However, I'm under the illusion that someone will make a silent whoop ;)

Yes! This is important information.
