About RekonFPV: RekonFPV was founded in collaboration between Dave_C and HGLRC. Dave_C is responsible for the lightweight revolution in long range drones! He knows exactly what makes a long range quad great and all of the RekonFPV BNFs and frames show exactly that.
Project #MicroLongRange has been an amazing success and led to a huge trend towards light 4" long-range cruisers in 2020. As Joshua Bardwell said, smoothly cruising around without thinking about the limitations of signal range and flight time will remind you of"how fun FPV is supposed to be." The Rekon4 is the evolution of the original #MicroLongRange after considering the feedback of countless FPV enthusiasts who chose to add a 4" cruiser to their fleet last year:
Instead of a 16x16 or AIO, the Rekon4 features a full 20x20 stack with an F722 flight controller and 28AESC—more than enough processing power, an oversized ESC, and plenty of UARTS ensure the Rekon4 is a 100% reliable tool for long-range adventures beyond no recovery zones!
Compared with the original design, the Rekon4 has been slightly stretched to accommodate a naked GoPro and large batteries at the same time without running out of space on the top plate or having to mount the battery sideways.
As usual, the digital version will offer the amazing DJI HD FPV, but we have also put great effort into making the analog FPV feed as pleasant as possible by using a high quality 19x19 micro cam with a large 1/1.8" CMOS sensor instead of the cheap 14x14 nano cam with 1/3" sensors most competitors use. Paired with a powerful 800mW VTX, this will ensure an enjoyable visual experience.
Along with the regular 4024 props, the Rekon4 will also include the all-new 4019 folding props by Gemfan, making it even more compact and easier to stow in a backpack.
On top of the new features, the Rekon4 will, of course, also keep all the things that made the original #MicroLongRange such an amazing platform, including:
1404 2800kV motors optimized for maximum efficiency and flight times of over 30min on 18650 lithium-ion batteries or over 10min while staying sub 250g with a 650mah 4S.
A buzzer with an independent battery to ensure your quad can be found and recovered even after a hard crash that ejects the battery.
Dead cat arms making sure no props are in your FPV feed or GoPro footage.
M80 GPS for real long-range capability and safety features like return to home.
This is camera is Awesome! Can't wait to mount it in a wing. The formfactor puts in the mind of a HD camera. The lens is big for a camera of this size. It should fit any wing or 3"-5" build you mite be thinking about.
It's an amazing drone, I'm new to this hobby so I had to lower to rates to be able to fly the drone without crashing it. Its set up to race out the box, lol. Sweat deal!
