Dave C is one of the biggest reasons I decided to start dipping my toes into FPV. The unsung hero of the hobby lol. So little views for such detailed content. Deserves 1M+
Thanks man that super nice to hear! Well I'm pretty sure we aren't even 1M+ people in the hobby :-D But who knows, maybe one day we will
Personally, I think his opinion carrys more weight than most reviewers. The amount of testing he does combined with a job in aero industry makes him for me the most valuable source in fpv.
Damnit Dave. Watching your videos always cost me money,. lol
fun to see winter terrain take over your usual flight paths.
really liked the update , i hope the mini LR will be available soon ! I like the aluminium anodized bicycle gear bolts a lot .
It will pretty soon :-)
Your builds are so clean and consise which is the way I build my stuff as well 👍🏻. I'd like to see you build something like this but a 10inch version would be cool.
Thank you! I like to looks of 10" but to be honest I don't really believe they makes sense unless you want to carry a heavy camera of some type. You can get all the flight time and speed you need from a 7" with way cheaper motors, props and batteries and it will be easier to tune ...
Perfect, I have a lot of those 1300mah batts....gonna give it a go.
I think I'm going to skip the 4in class and go directly to this instead. I have all winter to make up my mind, hahaha.
Look’s so cool 😁 really nice video 😉
Thank you!
That's interesting, my current setup is a hyperlite toothfairy with 2205-1750kv. I run a light 1300 6s and I can get a solid 7-8 mins on hq quadblades. Doesn't run an hd cam or anything but I could easily push that past 15 mins with s3 props on. If you aren't using the li-ions anyway I think you need to look at 4s again with lipos and the bigger 2004 motors. You might be able to get similar performance out of a 1500 and drop a bit of weight.
When the 5 mini frame will be available for purchase? :)
It should be soon
Cncmadness has it. Email them. I'm ordering 5" in all carbon fiber. They send hardware too I believe. I know def the chainring
I'm planning on doing ur miniLR (5") so u run the 1950kv to run 4s Li-ion instead of 1700Kv
Hii there, im planning to install my naked gopro to my 4s quad but im abit worried. My naked gopro works fine with 2s.
Plan to solder the naked gopro betafpv bec cable to vbatt with 4s, would it work?
Hey Dave, given the larger disc area being able to handle the higher weight as mentioned for the #MiniLongRange have you looked into using larger, heavier, 21700 cells for a 4S li-ion pack for 5" LR builds specifically? The Molicel P42A looks like a very good candidate for such. Roughly 30% more weight for 25% more battery capacity and a higher discharge rate might be promising.
Yes I tried a 4S 4000mah Samsung INR21700... It still flies but you can clearly tell its overloaded.
Hey! Awesome work, I really do love the 4" LR HD.
That's an interesting approach with the offset GoPro-Mount. But which ND-Filters do you recommend for that BetaFPV Naked GoPro Case? It's missing the typical holder for GoPro-ND-Filters.
Best regards! Weiter so :)
I don't know either to be honest. I just witches to the Beta case a few days ago to test it and haven't looked into ND filters yet.
great stuff - what kv motors are micro long range?
I've been testing your exact setting, with tattu 1300mah, using the stock pids of the flywoo. I can tell there are important vibrations, how can I fix them? Thank you.
Hi Dave! Please tell me if 11mm longer battery then that Tattu would fit Rekon 5?
Tks master 🤗🤗
I purchased the Rekon6 and I saw you ran 1300mah 6s which I believe was the Rekon5 would I be able to run a 1400mah 6s on Rekon6 with the 1500kv???
Seams this is what i need too in Germany glade i found your channel. What Motors are this purple ones on the Light 5"? Is there a way to buy a Minilongrange Frame in Germany?
Sure AHLtec can cut it for you
@@DaveCFPV sounds like a joke, but i live 30min from them:) A few of my flying spots are in this town:). Are they familar with that frame or i need to tell them all?
Hello Dave,
i have the rekon 5 4s with 1550mah lipos and a hero 6 naked. My Problem is that i have much virations and jello in my footage, do you have an tip for me how i can fix it?
Really awesome, love your work!
I used a 20˚ mount for the naked GoPro and that was taking away too much space so I had to mount the batteries at a slight angle. Hopefully your new mounts fixes it!
I have another issue with my naked GoPro 7, maybe someone has an idea for a fix. The GoPro quite often stops recording mid-flight (the video freezes, with the frozen frame taking up the rest of the video). I formatted the SD cards on the GoPro and tried different ones, it's not that.
I'm really at a loss and it's really frustrating to lose your footage!
Thank you! No idea unfortunately regarding the GP issues...
Very interesting to watch. Do you mess around with 7"ers or do you have a design for one that you like? Thanks for sharing!
That would be interresting. What about the iFlight Chimera 7? I thinm about buying that one.
@@TobiasFeuerbach You know, iFlight does many things the right way but some things still dont sit right with me on their new design. My XL7 breaks arms like twigs and the chimera has the same untapered style. Arm mount design looks overly complicated too. But i love the generous battery plate, thats a big plus. I wonder how tight prop clearances are on it, theyre a nightmare on XL7, very restrictive to camera and battery sizes.
@@FlyingPolak thank you for the response. Would you buy tha Chimera 7 anyway? Or is that arm-breaking too bad? Is it possible to repair that by yourself? It would be my first FPV Drone and therefore i have never repaired one but I would try it if nessecary.
@@TobiasFeuerbach it'll surely be a Ferrari of a first drone, but it'll be worth it. Any drone can be a first drone, it all comes down to budget and a mild control setup. I'm probably going to design my own frame to accommodate my specific equipment, no frame is perfect in my eyes lol
I have a 7" on my Thingiverse (Gatehunter CTS7) plus another design in the pipeline :-)
I also do my midrange missions with the same tattu 1300mAh. I really like them on my 5 inch racer quad. My setup is in the description of my videos.
Thinking of building a mini long range frame to take on backpacking trips in the mountains. Can you fit a runcam hybrid in this frame?
Not sure but probably yes. But in any case the hybrid will disrupt you GPS. Terribly noisy. Investing in a naked GoPro will be much better
Ok Emailed CNCMadness on ordering the miniLR frame. Got get someone to print 3D parts for me. And going to order motors to test. wondering if ummagawd motors any good
Already got a 20x20 success stack and 1w VTx
Will there still be any major changes to the mini long range frame? Thinking of getting one cut by CNCMadness.
Nope it's finalized :-)
i must say man iv been really tossing up whether to take up the sport and after watching your videos im quite sure about doing it now, i have a heap of questions as im completely green when it comes to fpv. i was looking at buying rekon5 and you have a 4s option and 6s but my question is if you plan to run both liron and lipo dose it matter which one i get ?
Welcome to the hobby! Yes the 6S version makes more sense then. You can run it on 4S Liion and 6S Lipo
@@DaveCFPV sweet thank you man I really appreciate the response
What material do you recomend for the gopro mount? Cf nylon or just tpu?
TPU is perfect
I'm wondering if can add shocker absorber under mount to get hero7 to work with reelsteady
Super Video!
Wieso eigentlich nicht ein 2000mah 4s pack? Hast du das probiert und kannst du da was zur Flugzeit sagen? Gewicht dürfte ähnlich dem 6s pack sein
Hätte nicht wirklich einen Vorteil gegenüber 3000mah 4S Li-Ion :-)
@@DaveCFPV das ist klar, ich meine auch gegenüber 6s 1300 ✌️
I actually think of using 18650 cells is a more efficient way to cruise, if you do not use all that energy at least there's not that need to put the battery to storage. It can hold the charge much more without damage.
Why not try an 5S 18650? Or does the weight gets to the point that it's not viable anymore?
Btw, I'm building a 4S 18650 to try with the CTS7, maybe next week I'll get it up in the air if I got the time and weather.
I was thinking about 5S too but until now didn't get around trying it. The weight will certainly be a the maximum limit that still flies well. Sure an Liion pack that is rarely discharged below storage voltage will last pretty long. They also seem to handle deep discharges much better. I discharged one of my packs down to 2V several times and the cells are still fine.
Lol i just bought 3 4s liion for the mini long range...And now you re saying i could use the other 12 1300 6s packs I already have??? xD
Joking ofc, will try both to see what better fits my needs! PS: Thank you for the gopro mount
Ahaha man te l'ho detto di andare di LiPo :)
Yes it's best to have both indeed😁 6S for power and LiIon if you need to go over 20min
@@bizioFPV vabbè l importante è non doverle comprare quelle ahah comunque 7 12 min non sono male ma vuol dire portarsi dietro 6 lipo invece di 3 liion...farò un po di test :P
@@DaveCFPV yeah!! tomorrow the last parts should come btw...Feeling like Christmas ahah
Yea I have 3 4s li-ion and 2 4s 1300mah for the explorer. Now I want to build miniLR 5" and looking at 6s 1300mah and 6s Li-ion
Dave, did all the FC/OSD issues with the LR finally get resolved? Did Flywoo address the issues themselves by updating the LR? I hesitated to purchase because many were have issues. Thx
The dji issue?
That was a betaflight issue using soft serial. So no fix till maybe betaflight 4.3.
And I don't think gps works on soft serial.. not sure
@@divingfalconfpv4602 The fact that's it's a small 16x16 FC stack and Uart hungry contributes. OSC worked with earlier BF. I've heard of guys having to swap out FC to get a more robust sense of reliability. Like I said, I don't have one (still hesitate to purchase) so these are only observation and experiences I've read.
@@checkeredflagfilms yea I don't know why they didn't do a toothpick aio 35amp. Would been same weight or less as 16x16 im sure. I was going to change the fc but decided to build a 5" version.
I only bought this one over geprc is to support Dave c for starting this craze (also geprc wasn't out yet lol)
@@divingfalconfpv4602 Agreed...definitely started the segment.
I'd wait a bit. I expect they will have a solution with more actual UARTs soon...
What’s mass of the frame?
I need a naked gopro mount for the micro long range. Any tips on that?
It's in the folder I linked in the description ;-)
How long does the miniLR 5" fly on 1300mah? Same as the 4" or longer?
You mean on the exact same battery? Seems the 4" flies longer. But it's sort of a pointless comparison because the 5" could carry a bigger battery
3:43 Is there a special way to charge lithium ion packs? Can you balance them using a batterygo? should you?
You can charge them with any charger that has a Li-Ion mode (ISDT, Toolkit RC...)
@@DaveCFPV Cool thanks!
Where can I find the mini & micro frame in Europe ? (France)
Definitively love the design :)
No registration under 800g but you do have to follow those rules: uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-france/
I bought the mini long-range frame from CNC Madness in Canada and they shipped to the UK all in for about £45 if I remember correctly. They even sold it as a set with the chain ring bolts, stamdoffs etc included.
From CNC Madness, they ship worldwide!
Will this drone work well with the EV800D goggles
Yes, if you fit the right analog camara
Am I the only one who noticed that Dave's miniLR build is not running the bh VY 2004 ... But some black and purple 200X super secret motors?! 🧐
🤫
Was fully looking at the motors to maybe do my own build, guessing I'll better wait to see what's in store for the future.
Max current draw on the light weight 5"?
Brotherhobby has the motors tested drawing 15amp max 6s 1700kv i believe using 5125 prop. Brotherhobby list thrust charts. Their amp readings will be more accurate over betaflight osd
@@divingfalconfpv4602 I've seen those before. I forgot about those. Thank you for the response. I just seen RDQ selling an auline 3000mah 6s 18650 battery max 30 amps, but I'm just now noticing it weighs almost 100g more than the 6s lipo in the video.
@@impavidus3372 ok good. Was going to say make sure u get the 30amp one.
He said he used the 4s li-ion but I'm not sure what Kv motors he choose 1700 or 1950kv. Guessing 1950kv to use 4s.
Both pretty close. 1950kv has a lil more top speed just a lil less efficient.
I'm test geprc 6s li-ion at 300g. Which will weigh 1 and half times more than the drone lmao 🤣 guessing first lift off full battery hover 30% or a lil higher for sag. End of battery be at 50% which still better than my 4" explorer with 4s li-ion
What happened to the latest upload? I was enjoying it 😂
There was an error in the edit that I didn't notice 😅 I'll upload it again
Is mini long range frame available for sale
Yes from CNCmadness
What motors are on your minilongrange?
Secret Stuff ;-)
@@DaveCFPV Just ordered the frame to be cut. Worth to wait for these motors you think? 😉
See the electrical tape hiding the secret motors?
I just dont get it.......😔 WHYYY 30 FPS............. if your moving like 20 mph 60 fps makes SOOOOO much sense...... no....?!
Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit 3" und 18650 Packs? Habe jeweils ein 3S und 4S. Fliege bis 3V und schaffe ~10minuten. Was mich wundert: Der 3S fliegt gleich lang wie der 4S. Hätte nicht gedacht, das die 4te Zelle mit 50Gramm sich grade mal selbst trägt. Kommt mir komisch vor...
Mach weiter so!
Danke! Ja ist beim Explorer ähnlich. Den 38min Flug hab ich auch auf 3S gemacht. Darfst nicht vergessen, dass die Motor kV gleich bleiben du aber die Spannung erhöhst. Das kostet ordentlich Effizienz
thank you and here you are little mod for hexa lr from flywoo - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4725694
