The motors are NIN 1404 V2 2750KV – quite a small motor for 4″ props, but with the light weight Gemfan 4024 two-blade props, this is the magic combo! Such an efficient setup.Ĭamera angle is adjustable by loosening the M2 screws on the sides. I wouldn’t call a quad “long range” if it doesn’t have GPS :) And the Flywoo Explorer qualifies! The Flywoo Explorer LR is the first BNF (bind and fly) model I reviewed that comes with GPS pre–installed, GPS and rescue mode are already setup in Betaflight. But so far in my testing I haven’t had any issues, and the radio definitely out-ranges my video signal (Crossfire 250mW, Vista 1200mW). The tips of the antenna are quite close to the arms, perhaps it could have been mounted a bit further away from carbon fibre. The Crossfire receiver antenna is mounted under the frame at the front. The frame is a “deadcat” style, the good thing about it is you don’t get any props in the camera’s view. The Explorer LR is a collaboration between Flywoo and Dave_C FPV who is the original creator of this micro long range concept! According to Flywoo they spent several months developing this quad and I have to agree – they’ve done a fantastic job! Side by side comparison between the Flywoo Explorer LR 4″ (left) and the Holybro Kopis Mini 3″ (right).
#TBS DISCOVERY PRO LONG RANGE SET REVIEW FREE#
My motors were upgraded free of charge as TBS introduced its 1000kV set and ran out of the 900kV motors I had ordered. A Futaba transmitter was substituted out in favor of FrSky’s Taranis, and the difference in cost was refunded back to me. To Team BlackSheeps’ credit, as the multi-rotor landscape changed during that time, it made adjustments to the components I bought. The downside was being put at the mercy of TBS’ supply chain it took almost a month and a half for the order to ship. I simply took the path of maximum convenience, hoping to leverage some of the company’s expertise with compatibility on its own frame. There are plenty of hobby shops distributing TBS’ parts, and an even greater number selling the components manufactured by third parties. I was able to buy everything from Team BlackSheep’s website, though you don’t have to do the same. $100.00No longer available kit now includes TBS Unify VTx Team BlackSheep Discovery Pro Long Range Set Now it was time to do the same thing for my rookie multi-rotor effort.
#TBS DISCOVERY PRO LONG RANGE SET REVIEW PC#
Two decades ago, I nervously ordered the pieces for my first PC build. I’d have to figure this out on my own.Īfter a couple of months waffling on parts, it was time to put up or shut up. My emails to them mostly went unanswered. Moreover, companies like Team BlackSheep are busy developing their platform, selling it and enjoying the sport. The community of multi-rotor enthusiasts isn’t as large as the group of folks building PCs, so it can be more difficult to find solutions. If you haven’t already read that piece, it’s a great place to start.Īs Clym worked on his coverage, I was reading, adding items to a shopping cart, asking questions and starting over. But his introductory story set the stage for where we are today. My interest in quads started way before Clym Montgomery wrote Multi-Rotors, First-Person View, And The Hardware You Need back in June.
But I know my way around a soldering iron, I can build PCs in my sleep and I flew R/C aircraft as a kid-all of the ingredients for a false sense of security. Pilots don’t decide they want to fly and immediately jump into 727s. Now, for those of you already on the multi-rotor scene, you’re thinking, “Dude, that’s way over the top for a first quad.
