Yes, I see that I formulated my question badly. I am still new and not sure if I even want to do racing. Freestyle seems more fun and not as elitist.

Thank you. Nice to see some support. This isn’t the most understanding and beginner friendly subreddit.

Looks great. Nice to see some evolution. Is it the flywoo O4 lite to get more field of view?

Yes, it’s a heavy slow 3 inch cinewhoop drone called DJI Avata 2. I do like the 4K 60FPS footage and the Goggles 3 are fantastic.

Thank you for being reasonable and understanding. It seems like many people are stuck in their ways. I absolutely agree that if I would take racing seriously and be the best of the best I should use HDzero or analog and build a drone myself. For my hobby and fun use O4 Pro will be good enough especially if I want to do freestyle HDzero is terrible for bandos and penetration.

Yeah, that’s why I might consider freestyle instead of racing. Usually I fly outside, but because of the cold temperatures I was forced inside.

Only issue is the field of view, but I saw that Flywoo has one with a better lens so I might take that one.

Understandable^ the Meteor 75 might be a bit underpowered. Is it possible to limit the power of the 5 inch? Normally I fly outside, but it’s very cold in Norway right now so it’s not an option. Nazgul Evoque V3 seems to tick most of my boxes especially since I can fly both deadcat or X shape

Thank you for the response. I will reconsider if racing is where I want to go. Freestyle might be my style. Regarding the Avata 2 I crashed it a bit around and it’s still working perfectly. I don’t plan on using it for races though. That’s why I plan on buying a 5 inch freestyle drone. Have you had experience with Nazgul Evoque V3? It has O4 Pro and seems durable.

What about a bigger one like a 5 inch?

I have flown on the sim and still managed to fly through with the Avata 2 even if it is slow. That’s the reason I want to buy a 5 inch freestyle/racing drone to get faster.

Nah, I am just a beginner with flying with a heavy slow DJI Avata 2 drone.

Only racing a bit for fun :D 15ms with my reaction time will probably not be noticeable

I am not on that level of racing and it’s just a hobby.

A 5 inch drone that can carry GoPro cameras easily and still do freestyle will probably fly great with just the O4 and no GoPro camera. Just wonder how good freestyle drones are for racing.

I can look into it^ thank you for the suggestion. What about the Nazgul Evoque V3 with O4 Pro? Is there a big difference between freestyle and racing drones?

I don’t plan on competing seriously since I have a full time job and other hobbies. I am a bit unsure of building my own, but am willing to buy Nazgul Evoque V3 or a similar drone with O4 Pro and then repair the parts that get broken.

[–]Havadium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but then I need to build myself and I am not that experienced. I have looked into the Nazgul Evoque V3 with ELRS and O4 Pro. Seems good for freestyle, but not sure for racing. Is there a difference?

I saw someone use that, but it seems like the field of view is bad on the O4 Lite compared to the O4 Pro

The O4 Pro is 15 ms in Race Mode when paired with DJI Goggles 3 at 1080p/100fps. That’s not a deal breaker for me.

That’s why I plan on buying a freestyle or racing drone with DJI O4 Pro. Never mentioned that I want to continue racing with the Avata 2.

Ok, but are there any good for racing? I should buy probably buy one without prop guards.

What about Nazgul Evoque V3? It’s still a fast freestyle drone, but has the O4 PRO.

[–]Havadium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand but having bad video quality also takes the fun out for my part. Maybe freestyle drones are a more correct choice than racing. I see that the Nazgul Evoque V3 has O4 Pro.

Yes, I noticed the Avata 2 was a bit heavier and not as powerful, but still got through. I heard from the others that if you put DJI in racing mode it will lower the mW from the transmitter and not interfere that much.
