►SUBSCRIBE: http://goo.gl/szFJv find lots of infos + VIDEO INDEX down here!!!! During my flights with the Chroma I could test most of the functions (hopefully). Summit: Flight performance great, RTH+follow mode work also great, Wifi Link and cam performance are average. Wifi: 500m are reachable, please check if the cam quality is ok for you - if not consider the Gopro Gimbal version or the CGo3 (4k). Videoindex Flighttests: 01:23 takeoff (maiden flight actually!) 02:10 first flight footage 03:02 chasing the girl (and the dog ;-) 03:37 first RTH tests 04:24 first crash on Follow-mode tests (and low-battery landing) 05:44 follow-mode and tracking tests 07:50 Return to home - test (what's home?) 10:13 wifi video link (Quality, issues) 13:34 Low battery behaviour 15:29 updating "Geofence" settings for more than 200m range Follow or Tracking mode: you have to enable it ON THE GROUND for it to work; as soon as you're in the air it will follow/track you if you go into smart mode Test Followmode: RTH flies to your current (radio) position and lands around 5m infront of you RTH flies at about 13km/h and descends pretty fast on landing approach to land very smooth (good autolanding!) Low Battery behaviour: vibration alert on radio at 10.6v and the max alt is reduced to 60m - LEDs are blinking RED initiating autoland (whereever it is at this moment - NOT RTH!) if you're getting below 10.4vs I had little over 1min from first alert to autoland. so if you're out far and you get the first alert - try to fly a safe route home - a route where it can land safely if it chooses to (no water, trees etc.) Flighttimes: 28.11.: Flighttime 24min, 500mASL and mostly hovering, did autoland on 10.5v 3.12.: warm battery; 10 degree C sunny, no wind, 700m ASL: 19mins (50% hover 50% flying around medium fast, not much climbing - I was around 50m once) Range: how to get more than 200m? As per default the "Geofence" is at 660ft or 200m! And this is a direct line from your Radio to the copter. So height also counts - not only distance as seen from above. There is a way to enlarge this Geofence: Download the GUI Software from http://flychroma.com http://www.horizonhobby.com/pdf/BLH8600-Chroma_GUI_V.1.rar GUI Software instructions video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJFZ2dPnzuI Cam quality below Gopro3, a bit oversharpened, pixelated Bitrate: 30mbit on 1080p50fps Nice portability - easy to pack in a sleek backpack landing gear easy detachable cam with quickrelease and only one plug (looks like the wifi happens directly in the cam) GPS tower foldable Status leds: Motor POD LEDs are very bright RED blinking means LOW Batt! - return imediatly or it will autoland soon where it is! purple LEDs indicate the "angle" Mode (which I normally flew it in) Remote: well built, all switches labled and logically placed; gimbal tilt slider on one side, speed slider on the other Built in touch display with suction cup mounted sunshade - computer is android based video transmission is 5.8ghz wifi, latency notable (400ms) - suctioncup mounted sunhood doesnt stick too well (mod it with velcros might be a good idea) - position of screen is not ideal, screen ABOVE joysticks is better Props are similar to Phantom - selftightening 10" Props - very silent - efficient Motor: 3508 780kv. blh8611 Battery: 3cell 6300mah important TIP: get the bl8624 adaptor to charge on your normal charger to have it recharged faster and with more control over how much juice was put in 25-30mins Flighttime at 0m ASL in warm temps WEIGHT: 1,3kg PACKING SIZE: 33x33x9.5cm gimbal 12x12x8cm radio: 25x19x11cm Useful Links: The main Chroma thread on RC Groups is found here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2423024 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2448676&page=2&pp=30&highlight=blade+chroma+cam+quality#post32369884 http://www.horizonhobby.com/media/chroma Manual: http://www.horizonhobby.com/pdf/BLH8665-manual-DE.pdf Acrobatic flight with Chroma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-PPCWdAd9g Better video range with a antenna mod: http://carolinadronz.com/collections/accessories-parts/products/itelite-dbs-yuneec-q500s-phantom-1-2-models-ite-dbs01 ►EQUIPMENT: http://goo.gl/QNzck ►►find infos on all my copters here in my Hangar: http://goo.gl/l5GfrE Filmed with Gopro Hero 3+ Black, Panasonic SDH707, Foream X1 and Galaxy S4, Microphone: Zoom H1 / R0de Videomic related Playlists: ►my TOP Videos: http://goo.gl/MHfr1D ►Product Reviews: http://goo.gl/mZkwHr ►FACEBOOK me: http://goo.gl/O3e7l ►visit my BLOG: http://RCSCHIM.blogspot.com
