 Hey guys, welcome to Rotorette. I'm Bovee FPV and if you're new to FPV, you'll know that there are many different sizes of drones. You can see we have one that fits in the palm of my hand. We have some that are almost as big as me and today we're gonna talk about each one and what their pros and cons are and which one is right for you. All right, so the first drone class that I'm going to be talking about is the 35 millimeter class. So you'll see a couple of variants of drones with this size propeller. You'll see something like this where they have no propeller guards and all the propellants are exposed and you'll also see some that have propeller guards, which basically means there's little circles around the propellers to protect anything that the drone crashes into. Personally, I like the ones without propeller guards because I think they have a little bit more performance. So this size drone is really good for doing freestyle indoors. So if it's really cold outside or if you just don't feel like going to a fly spot, pick up one of these and you can do all of the freestyle tricks you want around your house. You can do you can power loop your table. You can splinest your chairs. You can trippy spin whatever vertical structure you have in your house. This drone is really awesome for just all indoor freestyle. If we're looking at flight time, you're going to be getting anywhere from two to three minutes depending on how aggressively you're flying. So if you're just cruising, you know, exploring your house, you're going to be getting closer to three minutes. But if you're ripping doing all the freestyle maneuvers or if you're racing, you're going to be getting closer to two minutes. So not the longest flat time in the world, but honestly, in my opinion, I find for freestyle that's a decent amount of flight time because usually I crash. Before the two to three minutes are over. So if you're looking for something to fly strictly indoors and just, you know, rip up your house or like an indoor warehouse, you guys might have access to the 35 millimeter size class is my favorite. This one, I'm a little biased as the Babito. I designed it. It's all carbon fiber. So this one in particular is very durable. I've dropped this thing from like 100 feet from the sky at rampage onto basically concrete and it survived it. So 35 millimeter class, super small. We're going to put this right here. And if we move up to the next class, we have the 40 millimeter propeller class, which you might be thinking that's not really that much bigger. But in terms of flight characteristics, I think it really is this drone right here that we have is the vision 40 40 standing for 40 millimeter diameter propeller. And this drone is really good for doing a lot of the indoor freestyle stuff that the 35 millimeter could as well. But this is really special because you can also go outside. So this is really versatile, in my opinion. If you want to, you know, be flowing around some trees in your front yard or backyard and then you want to rip inside and power loop a chair or split as a table. I think this is this drone is really good for that. You'll also notice that this drone in particular has propeller guards, which are these circles around the propeller, propeller guards, guarding the propeller. So if you're a crash this thing into your head, or if you have pets or children in the house, it's not going to do as much damage as like an open prop drone would. So this drone is great for flying, you know, front yard or inside. And I think this drone is really versatile. Now, if we're looking at flight time, this drone takes a 450 milliamp hour one cell battery. So you're going to be getting anywhere from three to five minutes. Once again, depending on how aggressively you're flying it, honestly, if you're flying indoors, you're going to be using a lot less throttle. So you'll probably get closer to five minutes. But if you're outside, you know, maybe fighting some wind, getting up there to throw out a little bit more, you're going to be, you know, getting closer to three minutes. So this vision for that we sell is actually a really great platform because this has HD on it. So the 35 millimeter drone, this uses an analog video system. So the video is going to be very, like, very low quality, like 480p. But with this one, you can get all the way up to 1080p and it's really crisp and clear. And the reason that you can get that nice HD quality is because the propeller size is a little bit bigger. So it can handle a little bit extra weight of the HD VTX. So what we have on here is the Waxnail avatar system. I use this on even some bigger drones. So just to be able to have that really nice, crisp, clear video on this size drone is really nice. If you are new to FPV and you're looking for a first drone, honestly, I think that the 40 millimeter propeller class is one of the best classes to get. Because let's say you're starting on the simulator, you just continue flying from right sitting on your couch. And what I really like about this drone is that it's very stable. I don't know exactly why, but this drone in particular, this platform is just very stable in the air and it's a very good drone to learn on. Also, it's very durable. So in the beginning, you are going to be crashing a lot. So, I mean, I'm not going to throw it. I'd feel bad if I actually threw it, but this drone is very durable to learn on. So honestly, out of all the drones I'm going to be talking about, I think 40 millimeter propeller size is the best size to start on. The next size drone that we have is the three inch, or this is called the Cinewhoop. And let's see if you can guess why it's called Cinewhoop. So this drone is great if you're trying to get cinematic shots around people. Because with this drone, as you can see, it has prop guards. So you're not going to be cutting any people. I mean, obviously, it's not going to be fun to get hit by any drone. But this one will reduce any chances of someone getting cut. So it is called Whoop, which usually we fly whoops indoors. But what's really nice about this drone is that it has a three inch diameter propeller. So it does have a lot more like thrust. So you can fly this drone outside pretty easily. I mean, if you guys have heard of Jaybird Films, he is an awesome cinematic FPV pilot. And this is a drone that he mostly uses for all of his shoots. If you're looking to start getting into FPV work, this is honestly the first drone that I would pick up. I have done, I'd say about 90 percent of my FPV work using a Cinewhoop style drone. So this drone in particular is the Skylight by the DRIV. And it's just a really great flying Cinewhoop tuned by Tyler Crane, who is our master tuner here at Rotorite. So one thing that's really different about this drone versus the other smaller drones that you've seen is it can carry a GoPro or an action camera. So basically what you do is you fly the Cinewhoop looking through the FPV camera on the bottom and you put a GoPro on top. And the GoPro is what captures the really nice, cinematic quality footage that you want for, you know, yourself or if you have a client. So the flat time that you're going to be getting with this drone is anywhere from three to five minutes. And honestly, I'd say the biggest factor that changes how long the battery lasts is fighting the wind would be the biggest thing for this, because you have the big propeller gobs in here that catch a lot of the wind. So I'd say anywhere from three to five minutes is what you can expect with one of these Cinewhoops. I mean, this thing can definitely freestyle, but that's not really what it's meant for. Yeah, so the three inch Cinewhoop class is great for any cinematic job that you need, proximity to people or outdoors. Now, we're going to move up to half an inch class. So this is the 3.5 inch class. This is actually still the skylight. But what's really awesome about this drone is you can remove the propeller guards and fit a little bit bigger propeller. If you want to fly outdoors, you know, at a park or something, this drone has a lot of power. This drone can go like 60, 70 miles an hour, even though it's still so small and it's just a really fun drone to fly around. What's really nice about this drone is that it's a lot quieter than some of the bigger drones. So like I said, if you're flying at a park and those people around, it's much less intimidating to, you know, see in the air. If you're going to be doing freestyle with this thing, you're not typically going to be carrying a GoPro. It can carry a GoPro. But what we do is we just fly the HD system in the back and you can just use the DVR from your goggles to share with the world your footage. Now, if we're talking about flat time with this drone, this one's a little bit longer. I think you can get anywhere from like four to six minutes of flat time. Once again, always depending on how aggressively you're flying. So if you're racing, you know, you're going to be getting really short battery life, but if you're just cruising around, you'll definitely be getting, you know, closer to five to six minutes. And that's just because of how light the drone is and how big the propeller size is. So I mean, 3.5 inches is pretty significant. And it's just really efficient when you have a big propeller surface and a lightweight drone. So yeah, this 3.5 inch class is great for flying around parks or anywhere that you just want to kind of kind of fly incognito a little bit. All right, so now we're moving up into some bigger drones. This is the five inch freestyle class. And this is a drone that you'll see most people flying. This is a drone that I do most of my freestyle flying with just because it's a really good power to weight ratio. And something else that's really nice about this size classes, you can carry a full size GoPro with no problem. You can still be hitting speeds of 99.9 miles an hour with a full size GoPro. And this drone is great for basically any type of flying that you want. That's like not, you know, too close to people. So if you want to go to an abandoned building and just zoom down the hallways, or if you want to go power loop some 100 foot trees, this drone is really great for it. If you want to get into some more cinematic chasing, this this platform is really my favorite because it's so agile and so maneuverable. So let's say you're chasing some awesome drift cars. You want to be on one side of it and pop over. This drone is really great for that just because of the speeds you can hit. And also how maneuverable it is. So this one that I have here in particular is the tank by Let's Fly RC. So, I mean, the name tank means it's super durable. So, I mean, I don't know if you've watched our episode, how much a GeForce can this drone pull? We went up like 70 feet and just full throttle this thing into concrete. And it only broke very small. It was still completely perfectly fine. So in terms of flat times for these freestyle five inch drones, you can expect anywhere from three to six minutes. Once again, just depending on how you're flying here, how much wind is there and also how heavy your setup is, you know, if you were to have an action camera, the GoPro, which weighs about 200 grams, you know, you're going to be closer to three minutes of flat time. But if you take that off, you know, your drone is going to be significantly lighter so you can get, you know, six, even seven minutes of flat time with this drone. The five inch class drone is really great for freestyle and any action cinematic shots that you want. All right. So now we are moving to the biggest size drone we sell, which is the seven inch seven inch diameter propellers. I mean, the propeller is almost as big as my face. And this drone is really special because this drone, you can put a big battery on there and you can get like 15 to 20 minutes of battery life on this drone. That's once again, because of the bigger propeller size, just making the whole drone very efficient. So you can carry a full size GoPro. And if you put like a lithium ion battery on here, you can get like 15 to 20 minutes of battery life. And this drone is really good if you're trying to do long range, which long range is basically where you fly as far as you can within visual line of sight. And I've seen people get upwards of like three to five miles out from themselves. So you got to fly that far out and that far back. And that's just because this drone is super efficient, really long battery life. So while the really long battery life is really nice, this thing is really big. As you can see, it's like way bigger than my face. So you're not going to want to fly this like anywhere near people just because this thing is pretty loud once you're getting up high in throttle. And it's a little bit scary to be flying around people. And also it's the most dangerous class out of all of these because these blades are just huge spinning knives. If you live somewhere like Colorado and you just want to go do some mountain cruising, this drone is honestly perfect for stuff like that because you're not going to be flying around people. And also you have the really long battery life to get all the way to the top of the mountain and all the way back. All right, so that's a wrap on basically all of the major drone classes. All the way from the smallest to the largest. Let me know in the comments below which one you think is right for you. I mean, if you're new to FVV and you're just walking this for the first time, like which one do you think would suit you best? You know, you're going to be one of flying the Vision 40 inside or you're going to want to do mountain cruising with the CL2XR. If you guys want to buy any of these drones, we sell all of them in either DIY kits or if you want us to build them for you and set them up. We also sell built and tuned drones. So we build all of the drones here on our warehouse in Orlando and we test fly every single one to make sure that the drone flies great once it gets to your door. All you have to do is bind it to your radio and pair it to your goggles. Or if you don't have radio or goggles, we sell completely ready to fly kits with everything you need so you can get drone, batteries, charger, radio and goggles all in one kit, all in one purchase. If you guys are looking for anything like that, we still at our store. Rotorite link in description. We'll have links to all of these different drones that we talked about today. If there's any other questions you guys have about, you know, each different class drone. Once again, drop it down in the comments below. I think that's it for today, guys. Thanks for watching this episode of Rotorite. I'm Bobby FDV. We'll see you next time.
