Aloha 007,
Yes, the redesign of the prop itself will quiet down the prop, but shortening the blade has a quieting effect within limits. For full size helicopters, they have slowed down the rpm by adding more blades when they made the blades shorter and thus made it quieter. That was what I was aiming at.
Hi Cetacean , I bow to your superior knowledge on this subject, it certainly would be a great improvement if we could see the props removed from Camera view and less noise would be a nice bonus,
CS yes I just took delivery of the 7.85 yesterday I’ve had the 5.5 for a couple of weeks and I can say it has for me worked great, yes battery is heavy comes in at 750g plenty of power up to 4/5 hours and altogether the unit feels very solid, video transmission is noticeably improved and you can use screen in total sunlight.
7.85 is almost exactly the same slight difference in where you insert sd cards and higher screen resolution it comes in at an extra €100 but in my opinion it’s value is much greater you get a much bigger screen 2 batteries so certainly for phantom it’s a no brainer, and because of its size there is no noticeable difference in the weight.
It’s great being able to watch what you’ve just shot using the sd card slot, it also has a beta version of the dji pilot app for those concerned about data privacy.
Although there are many who feel it’s to expensive , when you see what you get for your money and compare to similar items I think it’s pretty good value but would seriously recommend getting 7.85 screen.
Good luck. |
