Le Drone FPV : Une Immersion Totale dans le Vol
En offrant une immersion totale, le drone FPV (First Person View) change la donne dans le domaine du vol télécommandé. Le drone FPV se distingue des drones classiques, qui affichent l’environnement sur un écran de contrôle, en transmettant directement ce qu’il voit au pilote grâce à une caméra embarquée. Grâce à une diffusion en temps réel, l’image est projetée sur des lunettes ou un écran, permettant au pilote de vivre une expérience de vol authentique, comme s’il était à bord de l’appareil.
Un Pilotage Précis
Apprendre à piloter un drone FPV demande de la rigueur. Alors que les drones à stabilisation automatique facilitent le vol, le FPV impose un contrôle manuel précis, notamment dans des conditions de vol difficiles. Il est habituel que de nombreux pilotes commencent par des simulateurs de vol ou des drones d’entraînement avant de se lancer dans des modèles plus avancés.
Performances : Personnalisation
Les drones FPV se caractérisent aussi par leur forte aptitude à personnaliser. La configuration de divers éléments, comme la caméra, les moteurs et les contrôleurs de vol, est à la portée de chaque pilote pour optimiser l’expérience selon ses préférences et besoins spécifiques. En raison de cette flexibilité, la qualité et la performance des prises de vue s’améliorent.
En guise de conclusion
En utilisant le drone FPV, on explore bien plus que le simple vol à distance. Il unit une technologie moderne à un pilotage méticuleux, offrant des sensations intenses aux passionnés. Que ce soit pour la surveillance des infrastructures, les films d’action ou les projets de construction, ces drones redéfinissent les limites, permettant des vues impressionnantes et une immersion totale.
Les Fonctions du Drone FPV
Dans le monde des courses de drones, le drone FPV est en vogue. Sur des parcours difficiles, ces compétitions, qui exigent vitesse et précision, requièrent une maîtrise totale du pilotage. En raison d’une agilité exceptionnelle, les pilotes doivent contourner les obstacles, négocier des virages serrés et s’adapter rapidement aux changements de cap.
Ces drones, en dehors des courses, sont également des pionniers dans la photographie et la vidéographie. Ils réussissent à capturer des images extraordinaires dans des lieux inaccessibles ou dans des situations où les techniques traditionnelles sont limitées. Ils sont couramment utilisés pour enregistrer des scènes d’action, des sports extrêmes, ainsi que pour des productions cinématographiques et des documentaires.
Agilité remarquable du Drone FPV
L’une des caractéristiques essentielles des drones FPV est leur réactivité. Conçus pour une réactivité accrue, ils garantissent une maniabilité qui est bien meilleure que celle des drones standards. Cette fonction est essentielle pour les compétitions et pour la capture d’images dans des espaces restreints, comme les forêts, les montagnes ou les structures urbaines complexes.

Retranscription des paroles de la vidéo: The Vapor D6 is a 6-in drone that’s perfect
for getting cinematic FPV shots because it’s efficient enough to fly for up to 20 minutes,
but it’s still got loads of power with these 2407 1750 KV motors. Now, I’m not going to make
you wait until the end, I’m going to let you know what I think about this drone right out of
the gate. And for the medium-range flights that I like to do to get cinematic scenery shots like
this, the Vapor D6 is one of the best cinematic FPV drones out there. For the record, GEPRC did
not send me this drone. I did buy it myself. So, why did I spend my hard-earned cash on this
drone? Well, I’m going to tell you why the Vapor D6 fits my needs, and I’ll also tell
you about a few things you’re going to want to know about if you’re considering a
D6 or any of the Vapor series drones. The « D » stands for dead cat, meaning the arms are
swept back. so you don’t get props and view. You can also get this as a True-X frame, which will
be better for freestyle, but you will see props and view of your DJI O4 Pro footage. If you
plan to run a GoPro, it doesn’t really matter because any external action camera will sit
much higher up and won’t have props in view of the FPV footage. Anyway, you can also get the
Vapor as a 5-in drone. I do have one right here and I will be reviewing it also. So, make sure to
subscribe so you don’t miss out on that one. If you’re wondering if 5 in or 6 in is better,
the short answer is neither or both because they’re different tools that are better for
different jobs. A 5-in prop is going to be more maneuverable, so it’s better for freestyle flying
or flying in tighter spaces. On the other hand, these larger 6-in props are more efficient, so you
can fly longer. They have a higher cruising speed, so you can fly farther, and they have more
lifting capacity, so they’ll do better with heavier lithium-ion batteries or full-size action
cameras. These larger props also make less noise. I’m not going to say this drone is quiet,
but the noise that comes off of a 6-in prop is more of a lower pitch hum than a higher
pitch scream. Here’s what it sounds like. And here’s what a 5 in sounds like. The Vapor D6 isn’t a true long range drone like
the Mo 7 with its massive 7 and 1/2 in props, but these 6-in props give you a lot of the
benefits when it comes to range and flight time at a lower cost. It uses smaller, less expensive
batteries that you can also run on a 5- in drone. And it’s just less hassle to transport and set up
than a massive 7 1/2 in drone like this. The 6-in form factor is a perfect compromise between the
ultimate long range drone and maximum freestyle capability. For cinematic style flying, a 6-in
deadcat drone with 21700 lithium ion packs like these Lumer Nav packs is an ideal combination
because it’s efficient enough to get up to 20 minutes of flight time, and it can carry a GoPro
like it’s not even there. We’ll dive deeper into batteries and flight times in just a minute. You
can get any of the Vapor series drones with ELRS, Crossfire, or Plug-and-Play. If you want
to use a DJI remote, with or without GPS, and with or without the DJI O4 Pro, I highly
recommend getting GPS. It’s silly not to unless you already have a GPS you really want to
install yourself. Do yourself a favor and get this drone with the DJI O4 Pro installed,
because you might not be able to get a DJI O4 Pro otherwise. I got mine with the DJI O4
Pro, pre-installed GPS and a TBS Crossfire. All right, you guys. This is what the drone will
look like when it comes to you. And here’s what you get in the box. We get two sets of props.
These are HQ 6×3.5x3s. We get an extra set of side panels in case you break yours or you just
want to go stealth black. Two battery straps. These are 25 cm long. Two super sticky battery
pads. Some extra hardware that’s all nicely labeled. A GepRC keychain. Some handy tools. An
extra antenna mount for a single antenna setup. And a GoPro mount with an M5 bolt. We get the
standard documentation including a wiring diagram for our flight controller, a sticker sheet, and a
guide for setting up GPS rescue. The drone itself is super secure inside this cardboard liner,
but as soon as you take it out of the main box, it just unfolds and releases the drone. There
are some warnings and notices to show you which way the props spin and designed to help beginners
get started. The Vapor D6 feels great in my hands. It’s a beautiful drone, especially when it’s
new and shiny before I’ve had a chance to crash it. Without a battery, my Vapor D6 weighs in at
520 g. that is with a GPS unit, a TBS Crossfire, and an ND filter because that’s how I fly mine.
With the two included battery straps, it’s 531.3 g. And with two of these super strong 30 cm long
battery straps I use to run lithium ion packs, it weighs 537 g. With a 1500 milliamp 6S battery, it
weighs 796.3 gram. And with an 18,800 milliamp 6S battery, it weighs 847.7 g. And with this Lumenier
5,000 milliamp 6S lithium ion pack, it weighs in at 984.2 g. And if I run a GoPro Mini, can’t
forget the screw, that’ll bring it to 1,111.7 g. All right, you guys. I took the Vapor D6 out
to a spot in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador, where I live, because it’s a great location for
the type of cinematic FPV flying that this drone was built for. On my maiden flight, I tested
GPS Rescue just to make sure that it works, and it worked great. GPS rescue was already set up
when I got my quad. All I did was change minimum satellites from 8 to six. I don’t use the auto
land feature. I take over once it starts heading home, but having that GPS rescue gives me a lot
more confidence and it has saved my bacon when I’ve outrun my video signal. I do have to be
pretty careful here because of zip lines and power lines. Even with the crystal clear FPV feed
we get with the DJI O4 Pro, you don’t see those cables until you’re right up on them. There is
a lot of wind at this location, but the larger props and heavier all-up weight of the Vapor D6
handles it way better than a smaller drone. The drone flies super smooth. It’s very efficient and
relatively quiet when you’re low in the throttle, but with these 2407 1750 KV motors, you have
loads of power when you need it. For this flight, I’m using a Lumenier 5000 milliamp 21700
lithium ion pack, and it pairs perfectly with this drone. If your priority is flight time
over raw power, if power is what you’re after, you should fly lipos and just accept shorter
flight times. The 1750 KV on these motors is a little bit high for a 6-in drone running lithium
ion packs, but these packs handle it no problem. As long as I’m reasonably gentle on the throttle,
I easily got 15 minutes of mountain surfing, even in these windy conditions, and that’s only
charging up to 4.1 volts and flying them down to about 3.2 volts. That’s usually the way I use
my lithium ion packs because they’re expensive, and I do like to take care of them so they have
a longer life. But if I charge them up to 4.2 volts and fly them down to 3 volts, I can get
20 minutes if I’m disciplined with the throttle. 15 to 20 minutes of flight time is great for a
heavy and powerful drone like this. How do you guys use your lithium ion packs? Let me know. I’d
love to hear what you guys are doing. What you’re seeing right now is DJI O4 Pro footage. With O04
Pro, I hardly ever use a GoPro anymore for FPV because it just looks so good. But I will show you
a flight with a GoPro in just a second so you can see the difference. If you get your exposure right
by using ND filters and filming with the DLOG M color profile, you can just drop the official DJI
LUT on top of your footage and it looks amazing. I’m using the new Freewell filters for DJI O4
Pro. They just re-released these with a stronger design and they’re the best ND filters I’ve used
so far. I’m not using my GepRC ND filters because they’re so tight that they’re almost impossible
to get off without damaging your camera. I even sanded down the locking nub to make them easier to
remove, but then one of them just fell off during a flight. What a pain. I don’t know why there
has been so much drama around DJI O4 Pro filters, but it’s been hard to find good ones. Let me
know what filters you guys use and how they work out. I’ll link to these Freewell filters
in the video notes. And if you’re looking for ND filters for DJI O4 Pro, these are the ones
I would recommend. Now I’m flying with a GoPro, so you can see the difference. On this flight, I
was surprised that I still flew for 15 minutes, so I didn’t really notice much shorter flight
times. I guess the extra weight of the GoPro Mini just isn’t that much on 6-in props and
2407 motors, but the logical part of my brain knows that if I’m carrying more weight, I have
to be getting shorter flight times. You got to love those 21700 lithium ion packs. What do you
guys think of this GoPro footage compared to DJI O4 Pro footage? I think the GoPro is better,
but with DJI O4 Pro, the difference is so slight that it’s hard to justify the cost and hassle of
running a GoPro. When you run an external camera, it’s not just the weight. You’re also risking
a more expensive rig when you fly. And running a second camera isn’t just more hassle. You
have to mount it upright, deal with an extra set of ND filters, and remember to hit record.
I know that sounds stupid, but I can’t tell you how many times I land after an epic flight and
I realize I forgot to hit record on the GoPro. The motors are GepRC’s Speedix 2 Eeries 240750 KV
motors. These are budget motors and it’s one of the ways GepRC keeps the price low on the Vapor
series. So, for example, you have a steel shaft where you might have a titanium shaft on more
expensive motors. Honestly, when I’m flying, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between
these and more expensive motors. Although, I do think the KV is just a little high for
a 6-in prop. I would trade a little of that top-end power for better efficiency. But, I use
this as a cinematic rig. You might really like having that extra power. The nice thing about
a higher KV like this is that you could set a motor output limit if you wanted longer flights or
you can just be disciplined with the throttle and the power is there when you need it. These props
are the HQ 6×3.5x3s and they pair very well with these slightly higher KV motors. As a reference on
my FlyFish Volador 6-in build, I am running props with a 3.7 in pitch, but that’s on 1500 KV motors.
You can experiment with different props to see what fits your flying style better. If this KV is
a little high for you, you could use a 3-in pitch prop. And if it’s a little low for you, you could
use a 3.7 in pitch prop. This camera mount is made of aluminum, and it does seem to protect the DJI
O4 camera pretty well. It has silicone inserts, so the camera is soft-mounted, and I got some nice
smooth jello-free footage, so it does seem to work pretty well. These side plates are made from
molded plastic and I really like them because they make the quad look so much more finished
and they give you something nice to grab onto without putting pressure on your electronics.
You do get an extra set of black side plates if you prefer that stealthy all black look. Let me
know which color you guys like better. All right, you guys. I took the top plate off to give
you a better look. These side plates snap onto the frame standoffs and they’re secured
to the frame with a screw up front and then they’re secured together with a standoff in
the back. They’re held on super securely, but they’re still easy to take off with just a
few screws. And you don’t have to remove the top plate in order to take off these side plates.
I just did that to give you guys a better view. The stack is Geprc’s Taker F722 HD version two
stack. This is a value stack that GepRC uses to keep the price down. But you do have that F7
processor and a 60 amp ESC, so it’s a very capable stack and it’s got plugs for everything. So,
if you ever need to swap out components or even change the flight controller, that would be easy
to do. The solder work is very well done and the build quality is really topnotch. All the cables
are routed cleanly, and there’s a clever little 3D print up front that holds a massive capacitor,
a buzzer, and the DJI O4 camera cable. It’s nice to see this level of build quality and attention
to detail on a budget drone. Since they put the capacitor out front, they also had to put the
battery lead up front, and it’s super long. I don’t have a real strong opinion as to battery
leads up front or in the back. When I build quads, I always put my battery lead in the back because
I think it’s cleaner, but this works fine. And since it’s so long, you have loads of flexibility
to run different batteries. I just have to tuck the battery lead under the battery strap or secure
it with rubber bands. The GPS is GepRC’s M10 GPS, and it’s mounted in a two-piece 3D print that’s
connected with a standoff so you can tilt it to get the best connection according to how fast you
plan to fly. The air unit is mounted on a carbon fiber riser and this helps with cooling and allows
the GPS wires and the receiver to go underneath the air unit so they’re safe and protected and
they won’t interfere with your battery strap up here. The receiver is heat shrink and it’s held
in place with a 3D printed mount. And the bind button on my Crossfire receiver is real easy to
access. The antenna is mounted right here in the same print that holds the GPS. And this is my
first real complaint I have about this drone. I bought the Crossfire version, but GepRC shipped
my D6 with this mini 915 antenna instead of a real Immortal T. I don’t really like that choice
because a mini antenna won’t give me the same range or as reliable connection as a full-size
Immortal T antenna. Most pilots are probably going to go with ELRS. And for a 2.4 GHz antenna, this
setup works fine. But for a Crossfire Immortal T, the antenna is so large that it gets really
close to the carbon arms. And that’s probably why they used a mini antenna. The way they should
have done it is to mount it up front like I did on my Volador VD6. This is a medium range drone,
but it’s absolutely capable of long range flights with lithium ion packs. And I think shipping this
drone with a mini antenna is a poor choice. If you plan to get this drone with ELRS or to use the
DJI remote, this won’t affect you. It’s only an issue with the Crossfire version. All right,
you guys. Now, it’s time for my conclusions. And since you already know that I really like
this drone, I’m going to start with a few minor complaints that I do have with the Vapor D6. On
the Crossfire version that I got, I don’t like this little mini antenna. If I go for Crossfire,
it means I’m accepting a higher cost for the most solid and reliable long range link. A mini antenna
defeats the purpose. If you get the ELRS version, this is a non-issue. And as you saw in my sample
footage, I still had plenty of range with this setup. But when I’m flying in sketchy conditions
like mountain peaks or over a jungle where I wouldn’t be able to get the quad back if I went
down, I want the most reliable link possible. So, I do plan to swap out this mini antenna for a real
Immortal T, which I can just mount up front. Also, the 1750 KV on these motors is a little high on
a 6-in prop for my taste. It flies fantastic, and you have loads of power, but for cinematic
style flying, I would trade a little of that power for more efficiency, and somewhere between 1,500
to,600 KV would have hit that sweet spot for me. Then again, if you want to rip or you just like
to have a little more power, you’ll be happy with this higher KV. And these motors are still very
efficient if you’re disciplined with the throttle because I did hit 20 minutes with my Lumenier
21700 packs. Another thing to keep in mind is that this drone is big and it’s powerful. If you’re new
to FPV, this really shouldn’t be your first drone. If you’re a new pilot, I’ve got loads of videos on
good beginner options. So, make sure to subscribe and check out those videos. Those are the only
complaints I have about this drone, and they might not even be issues for you. Now, I’m going
to tell you what I love about this drone. I really like the side panels. They just make the drone
look and feel more refined, and I love having something to grab onto without putting pressure
on my electronics. The frame design is very solid. It’s beefy enough to prevent vibrations without
being overly heavy, and I didn’t see props in view in any of my footage. The tune is very good
on this drone. I got nice smooth flights without vibrations or prop wash. This is an excellent
all-around drone. It can do freestyle or cinematic style flying, but where it really shines is as
a medium range cruiser. Compared to a 5 in, it flies longer. It has a higher cruising speed and
it’s more stable in the wind, so it does better in difficult conditions like windy mountaintops. And
the price is basically unbeatable. Geprc did save a little bit of money using eco components,
but the 2407 motors are super capable, and the taker stack has an F7 processor and a
60 amp ESC, so you’re not really missing out on anything. When it comes to 5-in drones, there
is loads of competition and you’ve got loads of options. When it comes to 6 in, there are a lot
less choices. If a 6-in drone is right for you, you definitely want to check out the Vapor D6.
I’ll leave links to this drone in the video notes. Be sure to check those out because I’ll
update them with coupon codes and promos as they become available. All right, you guys, that’ll
do it for this one. I’ll see you in the next one. .

372.32 and an ND filter because that’s how I fly mine.
With the two included battery straps, it’s 531.3
380.24 g. And with two of these super strong 30 cm long
battery straps I use to run lithium ion packs, it
387.84 weighs 537 g. With a 1500 milliamp 6S battery, it
weighs 796.3 gram. And with an 18,800 milliamp 6S
401.52 battery, it weighs 847.7 g. And with this Lumenier
5,000 milliamp 6S lithium ion pack, it weighs in
413.04 at 984.2 g. And if I run a GoPro Mini, can’t
forget the screw, that’ll bring it to 1,111.7
426.72 g. All right, you guys. I took the Vapor D6 out
to a spot in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador,
433.44 where I live, because it’s a great location for
the type of cinematic FPV flying that this drone
439.12 was built for. On my maiden flight, I tested
GPS Rescue just to make sure that it works,
444.64 and it worked great. GPS rescue was already set up
when I got my quad. All I did was change minimum
450.72 satellites from 8 to six. I don’t use the auto
land feature. I take over once it starts heading
457.2 home, but having that GPS rescue gives me a lot
more confidence and it has saved my bacon when
463.36 I’ve outrun my video signal. I do have to be
pretty careful here because of zip lines and
468.56 power lines. Even with the crystal clear FPV feed
we get with the DJI O4 Pro, you don’t see those
474.96 cables until you’re right up on them. There is
a lot of wind at this location, but the larger
480.72 props and heavier all-up weight of the Vapor D6
handles it way better than a smaller drone. The
486.56 drone flies super smooth. It’s very efficient and
relatively quiet when you’re low in the throttle,
492.8 but with these 2407 1750 KV motors, you have
loads of power when you need it. For this flight,
500.24 I’m using a Lumenier 5000 milliamp 21700
lithium ion pack, and it pairs perfectly
506.72 with this drone. If your priority is flight time
over raw power, if power is what you’re after,
513.2 you should fly lipos and just accept shorter
flight times. The 1750 KV on these motors is a
520.0 little bit high for a 6-in drone running lithium
ion packs, but these packs handle it no problem.
525.84 As long as I’m reasonably gentle on the throttle,
I easily got 15 minutes of mountain surfing,
531.36 even in these windy conditions, and that’s only
charging up to 4.1 volts and flying them down
537.2 to about 3.2 volts. That’s usually the way I use
my lithium ion packs because they’re expensive,
543.44 and I do like to take care of them so they have
a longer life. But if I charge them up to 4.2
549.04 volts and fly them down to 3 volts, I can get
20 minutes if I’m disciplined with the throttle.
555.28 15 to 20 minutes of flight time is great for a
heavy and powerful drone like this. How do you
561.12 guys use your lithium ion packs? Let me know. I’d
love to hear what you guys are doing. What you’re
566.32 seeing right now is DJI O4 Pro footage. With O04
Pro, I hardly ever use a GoPro anymore for FPV
573.2 because it just looks so good. But I will show you
a flight with a GoPro in just a second so you can
578.56 see the difference. If you get your exposure right
by using ND filters and filming with the DLOG M
584.88 color profile, you can just drop the official DJI
LUT on top of your footage and it looks amazing.
591.12 I’m using the new Freewell filters for DJI O4
Pro. They just re-released these with a stronger
597.44 design and they’re the best ND filters I’ve used
so far. I’m not using my GepRC ND filters because
604.48 they’re so tight that they’re almost impossible
to get off without damaging your camera. I even
610.16 sanded down the locking nub to make them easier to
remove, but then one of them just fell off during
614.72 a flight. What a pain. I don’t know why there
has been so much drama around DJI O4 Pro filters,
622.24 but it’s been hard to find good ones. Let me
know what filters you guys use and how they
627.36 work out. I’ll link to these Freewell filters
in the video notes. And if you’re looking for
631.76 ND filters for DJI O4 Pro, these are the ones
I would recommend. Now I’m flying with a GoPro,
638.72 so you can see the difference. On this flight, I
was surprised that I still flew for 15 minutes,
644.56 so I didn’t really notice much shorter flight
times. I guess the extra weight of the GoPro
649.44 Mini just isn’t that much on 6-in props and
2407 motors, but the logical part of my brain
655.36 knows that if I’m carrying more weight, I have
to be getting shorter flight times. You got to
660.0 love those 21700 lithium ion packs. What do you
guys think of this GoPro footage compared to
665.76 DJI O4 Pro footage? I think the GoPro is better,
but with DJI O4 Pro, the difference is so slight
673.28 that it’s hard to justify the cost and hassle of
running a GoPro. When you run an external camera,
679.28 it’s not just the weight. You’re also risking
a more expensive rig when you fly. And running
684.56 a second camera isn’t just more hassle. You
have to mount it upright, deal with an extra
689.52 set of ND filters, and remember to hit record.
I know that sounds stupid, but I can’t tell you
694.4 how many times I land after an epic flight and
I realize I forgot to hit record on the GoPro.
704.96 The motors are GepRC’s Speedix 2 Eeries 240750 KV
motors. These are budget motors and it’s one of
714.8 the ways GepRC keeps the price low on the Vapor
series. So, for example, you have a steel shaft
720.4 where you might have a titanium shaft on more
expensive motors. Honestly, when I’m flying,
725.44 I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between
these and more expensive motors. Although,
729.6 I do think the KV is just a little high for
a 6-in prop. I would trade a little of that
735.12 top-end power for better efficiency. But, I use
this as a cinematic rig. You might really like
741.04 having that extra power. The nice thing about
a higher KV like this is that you could set a
746.72 motor output limit if you wanted longer flights or
you can just be disciplined with the throttle and
752.08 the power is there when you need it. These props
are the HQ 6×3.5x3s and they pair very well with
759.44 these slightly higher KV motors. As a reference on
my FlyFish Volador 6-in build, I am running props
766.56 with a 3.7 in pitch, but that’s on 1500 KV motors.
You can experiment with different props to see
774.0 what fits your flying style better. If this KV is
a little high for you, you could use a 3-in pitch
780.08 prop. And if it’s a little low for you, you could
use a 3.7 in pitch prop. This camera mount is made
785.92 of aluminum, and it does seem to protect the DJI
O4 camera pretty well. It has silicone inserts,
793.2 so the camera is soft-mounted, and I got some nice
smooth jello-free footage, so it does seem to work
799.44 pretty well. These side plates are made from
molded plastic and I really like them because
805.68 they make the quad look so much more finished
and they give you something nice to grab onto
810.88 without putting pressure on your electronics.
You do get an extra set of black side plates if
816.16 you prefer that stealthy all black look. Let me
know which color you guys like better. All right,
822.0 you guys. I took the top plate off to give
you a better look. These side plates snap
826.48 onto the frame standoffs and they’re secured
to the frame with a screw up front and then
831.44 they’re secured together with a standoff in
the back. They’re held on super securely,
836.08 but they’re still easy to take off with just a
few screws. And you don’t have to remove the top
840.64 plate in order to take off these side plates.
I just did that to give you guys a better view.
848.0 The stack is Geprc’s Taker F722 HD version two
stack. This is a value stack that GepRC uses
855.84 to keep the price down. But you do have that F7
processor and a 60 amp ESC, so it’s a very capable
862.24 stack and it’s got plugs for everything. So,
if you ever need to swap out components or even
867.04 change the flight controller, that would be easy
to do. The solder work is very well done and the
872.16 build quality is really topnotch. All the cables
are routed cleanly, and there’s a clever little
878.48 3D print up front that holds a massive capacitor,
a buzzer, and the DJI O4 camera cable. It’s nice
886.32 to see this level of build quality and attention
to detail on a budget drone. Since they put the
892.16 capacitor out front, they also had to put the
battery lead up front, and it’s super long.
897.04 I don’t have a real strong opinion as to battery
leads up front or in the back. When I build quads,
902.24 I always put my battery lead in the back because
I think it’s cleaner, but this works fine. And
907.2 since it’s so long, you have loads of flexibility
to run different batteries. I just have to tuck
912.56 the battery lead under the battery strap or secure
it with rubber bands. The GPS is GepRC’s M10 GPS,
919.28 and it’s mounted in a two-piece 3D print that’s
connected with a standoff so you can tilt it to
925.2 get the best connection according to how fast you
plan to fly. The air unit is mounted on a carbon
930.88 fiber riser and this helps with cooling and allows
the GPS wires and the receiver to go underneath
936.88 the air unit so they’re safe and protected and
they won’t interfere with your battery strap up
941.76 here. The receiver is heat shrink and it’s held
in place with a 3D printed mount. And the bind
947.44 button on my Crossfire receiver is real easy to
access. The antenna is mounted right here in the
952.64 same print that holds the GPS. And this is my
first real complaint I have about this drone.
958.64 I bought the Crossfire version, but GepRC shipped
my D6 with this mini 915 antenna instead of a real
966.08 Immortal T. I don’t really like that choice
because a mini antenna won’t give me the same
971.52 range or as reliable connection as a full-size
Immortal T antenna. Most pilots are probably going
977.44 to go with ELRS. And for a 2.4 GHz antenna, this
setup works fine. But for a Crossfire Immortal T,
985.04 the antenna is so large that it gets really
close to the carbon arms. And that’s probably
989.44 why they used a mini antenna. The way they should
have done it is to mount it up front like I did
994.24 on my Volador VD6. This is a medium range drone,
but it’s absolutely capable of long range flights
1001.28 with lithium ion packs. And I think shipping this
drone with a mini antenna is a poor choice. If you
1006.64 plan to get this drone with ELRS or to use the
DJI remote, this won’t affect you. It’s only an
1012.0 issue with the Crossfire version. All right,
you guys. Now, it’s time for my conclusions.
1017.68 And since you already know that I really like
this drone, I’m going to start with a few minor
1023.44 complaints that I do have with the Vapor D6. On
the Crossfire version that I got, I don’t like
1030.4 this little mini antenna. If I go for Crossfire,
it means I’m accepting a higher cost for the most
1037.44 solid and reliable long range link. A mini antenna
defeats the purpose. If you get the ELRS version,
1044.96 this is a non-issue. And as you saw in my sample
footage, I still had plenty of range with this
1050.32 setup. But when I’m flying in sketchy conditions
like mountain peaks or over a jungle where I
1056.56 wouldn’t be able to get the quad back if I went
down, I want the most reliable link possible. So,
1062.8 I do plan to swap out this mini antenna for a real
Immortal T, which I can just mount up front. Also,
1070.32 the 1750 KV on these motors is a little high on
a 6-in prop for my taste. It flies fantastic,
1079.04 and you have loads of power, but for cinematic
style flying, I would trade a little of that power
1085.52 for more efficiency, and somewhere between 1,500
to,600 KV would have hit that sweet spot for me.
1093.28 Then again, if you want to rip or you just like
to have a little more power, you’ll be happy with
1098.4 this higher KV. And these motors are still very
efficient if you’re disciplined with the throttle
1104.32 because I did hit 20 minutes with my Lumenier
21700 packs. Another thing to keep in mind is that
1111.76 this drone is big and it’s powerful. If you’re new
to FPV, this really shouldn’t be your first drone.
1119.12 If you’re a new pilot, I’ve got loads of videos on
good beginner options. So, make sure to subscribe
1125.6 and check out those videos. Those are the only
complaints I have about this drone, and they
1130.88 might not even be issues for you. Now, I’m going
to tell you what I love about this drone. I really
1136.48 like the side panels. They just make the drone
look and feel more refined, and I love having
1142.08 something to grab onto without putting pressure
on my electronics. The frame design is very solid.
1148.8 It’s beefy enough to prevent vibrations without
being overly heavy, and I didn’t see props in
1154.4 view in any of my footage. The tune is very good
on this drone. I got nice smooth flights without
1161.84 vibrations or prop wash. This is an excellent
all-around drone. It can do freestyle or cinematic
1169.12 style flying, but where it really shines is as
a medium range cruiser. Compared to a 5 in, it
1176.24 flies longer. It has a higher cruising speed and
it’s more stable in the wind, so it does better in
1182.64 difficult conditions like windy mountaintops. And
the price is basically unbeatable. Geprc did save
1189.76 a little bit of money using eco components,
but the 2407 motors are super capable,
1196.32 and the taker stack has an F7 processor and a
60 amp ESC, so you’re not really missing out
1202.96 on anything. When it comes to 5-in drones, there
is loads of competition and you’ve got loads of
1209.36 options. When it comes to 6 in, there are a lot
less choices. If a 6-in drone is right for you,
1216.0 you definitely want to check out the Vapor D6.
I’ll leave links to this drone in the video
1221.44 notes. Be sure to check those out because I’ll
update them with coupon codes and promos as they
1227.12 become available. All right, you guys, that’ll
do it for this one. I’ll see you in the next one.
