That is true for sure. For me, it's only the price, so I mentioned it as the main reason that holds people back from going digital. Bind'n'fly's are cheaper than building yourself. So if a intermediate pilot with not much money like me wants a new quad, we gotta go with pre-builds. And if new quads are only available in digital, budget pilots can feel left behind quickly.

@Joshua Bardwell - Glad you gave a significant amount of time to one of Chris' frames. I've owned Apex's, Evoques and a few other randoms, but I can definitely push pid tune master multiplier way higher than any other quads (using damping grease and locktite to ensure limits can be pushed to the max). I would always have a second profile set though so if I have hard crash or do damage to props I can switch to fly back without issue (needed if you're living on the edge in your pids). I have to admit though, I secretly shake my head as you continue to perpetuate this '30mm ESC is more robust than 20mm' theme 😵‍💫. Honestly, in my experience the size of an esc is far less important than who actually manufactured it. You kind of admit as much without actually saying it, but still poo poo 20mm gear whenever you see a 20mm esc. I have comfortably had more 30mm stacks fail on super hard crashes than 20mm, though I am sure I haven't broken the volume you have. Like with anything in FPV, you get what you pay for. I have a bunch of blitz mini stacks and they are rock solid, only succumbing to water crashes due to stupidity.

@Schradermusic Жыл бұрын

Considering the quality is the same, which is what you should do when comparing two different sizes of something, the 30x30 ESC has more space to dissipate heat which in theory makes components live longer.

@fpvdotkiwi Жыл бұрын

I think my point is clear enough that it implies I wouldn't compare a 20mm vs 30mm from the same manufacturer (theoretically the same quality) and say the 20mm is better. The point of my original comment is choice of specific fc/esc is much more important than whether it is 20mm or 30mm, so I don't get why he still perpetuates (or _seems_ like he perpetuates) this '30mm is always better than 20mm' ideology.

AOS5 owner here: the arm mounting screws could be 1~2mm longer. If they come loose and you tighten them, the standoffs, in which they screw into, strip easy, if not careful. The short screws only grip into a short part of the standoffs. Also the arms suffer delamination after a crash. You cant see it ! A novice wont notice and it will Start flying really bad. Hold the motors and Twist the arms to check of it feels loose. Its delamination. I hope iflight sells the arms soon. They are hard to get. Until today they are not sold on their website.

I destroyed a tattu R-line battery pack due to too loosley mounted motors......on a 20x20 T motor F55 esc.......30.5x30.5 is dead......obsolete. Had the same reservations as you about fets and board size......I was wrong and moved on.......fyi the T motor 20x20 F55 fits the evoque frame....with a little filing....

The 2nd R2 might be for using two receivers? Either for redundancy or diversity?

Which has better flight characteristics out of the box? The evoque or the AOS 5?

hy Joshua bardwell I have the old fc f4 jb and I put the vtx in the flight controller and the cam too, and I see the black screen with osd and them I put the video directly and the screen is black without osd,, what could be the problem. the cam I think is the problem . what do you think.

nice review JB! just a minor quibble for those who will fly this quad without an action camera up front, how do you establish proper CG? it seems the XT60 cable coming out mid-frame limits battery placement to the rear only. in line with this, the cable itself seems oddly short without any stress relief against battery ejection during a crash. cheers!

@JoshuaBardwell Жыл бұрын

CG is not a big issue with small multirotors. It's never going to be perfect and the FC will deal with it.

I don’t know why I think it’s over optimised to the point exaggerated. Resonance noise is bad but it doesn’t require super slowing filtering to develop it to this degree of a frame. Just an opinion

hy video problem .I flight the drone I fly it and something went wrong and land it .and after, I used it directly to the fc to the vtx and the cam, but repairing other thing the + and the - took off from the fc ,and the screen turn black but I see the osd and connected directly to fc .the vtx to cam and is black, the camera is damaged or not. I don't no if you understand.

Hi Jb, great content as always. Does the AOS v2 have space for a full dji air unit or only a vista? Thanks

@JoshuaBardwell Жыл бұрын

Chris has a frame, the AOS LR5, which is advertised as having room for the air unit. That leads me to believe the standard AOS does not.

@chibikaiju922 Жыл бұрын

The V2 version of the AOS 5 does have space for the full air unit. There are mounting holes for three 30x30 stacks and just enough for the air unit in the back. I think the V1 was only able to fit the vista in the back.

On the last flight, when you took the master multiplyer up, where did you take it? 1,3? 1,4? 1,5? Because it had some (minor) oscillations so if it was at (say) 1,2 or 1,3 it could go a bit higher but that's not the case if you had it on 1,5...

As a few others have mentioned, the AOS V2 frame has a design flaw where the arm breaks at the thinnest part (where the braces meet). I've since retired my AOS V2 after breaking multiple arms. I've been flying the FPVCycle Prototype 5 frame and have had zero issues with durability.

I rebuilt using an iflight cut Aos frame completely different. Before the weak frame was cnc drones, garbage carbon.

@BOOST_FPV Жыл бұрын

I like this new frame. I basically fly only iflight frames, Nazgul5, evoque, cidora and chimera LR but I never had luck with their electronics unfortunately. I would like try the AOS5 with my stack of choice, HW 4in1 60a and FETTEC G4. Btw it doesn't look 16x16 mounting holes cause the vista is mounted in those holes in the back

You can get the frame from CNC madness. If you check Chris' site you can find all the details. That frame is my next 5 inch build.
