The only version of Roma F5 that comes with F7 is analog 6s version. 4s and all digital versions come with F4 FC which does not have Bluetooth feature. Not sure why Diatone made this decision (probably cost, but then why not the 4S analog). I thought of one more thing to complain about: the front screws are M2, and they also hold the GoPro mount on. M2 screws are way way less strong compared to M3 and probably the front end is a little more likely to tear out. But Armattan has done the same thing for years and it hasn't been a problem. OKAY I'M JUST TRYING TO BE FAIR.

Also, why not in HD versions (both, 4s and 6s) while we're at that. HD versions are more expensive, so if we pay that price, it would really be nice to get F7 instead of F4. Even though I am total beginner... hopefully one day I won't be anymore, and then F7 might come handy :)

The only real upgrades I've done to them is add Crossfire & replace their cameras with RunCam Racer Nanos. So at this point I'm watching just to be educated about what's out there, but the reviews are still interesting to watch.

Regarding the issue of injection moulded arm guards vs TPU printed that can tear too easily where the motor bolts hold it in place - you can do multi-filament prints on any 3D printer by swapping filament between layers, and because PETG & TPU will stick to each other pretty well, you could print the first few layers of an arm guard that the motor bolts grip onto in PETG and the rest in TPU.

Great review once again Mr B. Note: ESCs are 50amp not 40amp as you thought which makes it even better for running 6s version! (I prefer good strong 50amp or higher for 6s if you want them to last forever) I have been using the previous version Mamba F722 FC stacks on two 6s quads I built which I believe were also 50amp ESCs (55A burst) and I have had zero trouble with any ESC's blowing up after flying them for nearly 18 months. I really rate the Mamba F7 stacks Diatone make. Good solid units with no issues at a very good price with higher amp ratings than most other 6s rated units. Would definitely consider buying this quad. You are spot on about the VTX being a little small tho. Other than that, the roma is about half the price I spent on building similar drones myself.

I love this little guy and I've been beating around my lite variant for the last 2 and a half months. A protip: If you buy the 4S version you can go between 4S and 6S with a motor output limit as all the components are rated for up to 6S. Been running mine on 6S with the stock 4S motors for a month now with some gnarly crashes and everything's still running great. Broken an arm in the beginning, you'll want to order a spare or two pre-emptively, but I still have my second spare.

Genuinely interested as to why not going with 6s quad setup and run it on 4s or 5s until ready to switch to 6s. Seems like the best of both worlds in one package. 6s batteries are not as expensive as they used to be and they are going down in prices by the day. Especially because it's not even a cent more expensive than 4s setup, 6s setup seems like a no brainer to go with. Little longer flight times, no battery sag as with 4s, much more agile quad overall, etc.

Also, there's really not much difference in power between 4S and 6S, the reason you go to 6S isn't for more power, it's for more efficiency and less voltage sag. A 2450KV 4S quad and a 1700KV 6S quad aren't going to be that different in terms of speed and power, the difference is in consistency, flight time, and efficiency.

Banggood was the most expensive, the other three retailers where the same $269US across the board. Kinda disappointed actually, i woulda pulled the trigger.

Yeah but it means if I tap the gopro while I'm flying, I can't finish the flight. Being able to fly out of a crash is part of freestyle to me.

@@JoshuaBardwell - exactly, and even though there is no perfect mount out there, that problem can still be remedied by good designed TPU, with some material that's not brittle, but elastic to a degree. That alone would give that mount "some give", plus it would not explode on impact like in Chris Wind's video about Diatone Roma F5 ( kzitem.info/news/bejne/1G1jnJl_joWje34 )

Thanks for reviewing something analog. The way the BNF, frames, etc work with analog is starting to be neglected. That bit me recently when I bought a 4" LR that was reviewed very positively, and for everyone it seemed to work perfectly for DJI, but their analog VTX didn't fit well at all.

Joshua, thank you for the thorough review as always. I clicked the link for buying the drone at getFPV and it lists the drone as PNP instead of BNF. Am I missing something? I have an EV800D and a Radiomaster TX-16s. If I get the the analog Diatone Roma F5 (4S), what else do I need to get flying (besides 4S batteries and a charger for the batteries)? What takes care of tx/rx in this drone? Thank you for your time and quality videos!

JB out here just giving away all his secrets. "My Runcam Pheonix is the same thing as the normal ones with different settings. Here, take my settings, you can just have them if you want." Dude realizes you don't have to be sneaky with people to sell stuff, if you're straight up honest with them they'll want to buy your shit just because they like you.

Drone 330g Battery 180g GoPro 90g And then they will force us to register it, put a locator on it, ask permission from NASA or ESA and the COVID vaccine We should look for lighter and more discreet alternatives before continuing to sink to the neck. Nice flight and beautiful spot!!!

Great video as always. This one really looks fun to fly, I have been watching a bunch of your videos now for a month or so trying to figure out which drone and class would be best for me right now. This Diatone Roma really got me thinking... that extra weight seems to slow the rolls and loops down a bit (extra weight compared to 4" for example) and that slower speed looks really nice to me aesthetically. I have a question - at around the 7 min mark you mention that you believe that you can get a Diatone FC and ESC for about 45$ - I have an old Ares Crossfire quad with a bricked FC (can't find the boot jumper pads on the board anywhere...) and it has a damaged ESC so this price would be a big deal for me (mostly since like many of us covid has made employment, eh, more of a "freestyle" situation lately...) and every bit helps. I think if I was working I would be ordering one of these right now! So I jumped over to the links below to check things out but it seems $45 would be the price (ballpark) for just the FC - I am wide open to suggestions (best FC to replace mine, better yet, how to "un-brick" it) and I am not one to hold a YT channel to every single word, it is more like I do not have much experience with all the in's and outs of these and so I'm not sure about this item. Also - I know that your property is featured in one of the Drone simulators (that is awesome!) - have you ever considered hosting something like a national event invitational or open event on your property? Bet a ton of people would check it out, both in person and online - this of course would have to be after covid is tamed. But hey, with masks, hand sanitation, social distancing, and time outdoors in the mid summer sun perhaps that would be more than enough. It seems so obvious I can't be the only one who thought of it! Would you mind if I stayed on one of the guest bedrooms?? J.K.

Have used the LEDs on the Mamba f4, mine was damaged,everything on (3.3,5&9v) except the blue light for BF, and the orange light,... So something up with the chip I think, but can't figure it out... As Took it apart, got 3.3v on that rail(mamba was renowned for blowing the 3.3vreg) get the 3esc tones at startup but not the 2"handshake" tones from the FC...

I love my 4S version, but I hate the Phoenix camera, replaced with a Eagle 3 and it’s way better. Other than that my biggest complaint is that they used 23mm standoffs, which is super hard to come by if you bend them in a crash. I cannot figure out how Diatone is able to offer this quad so cheaply though.

I break arms (8) and motors (7) on the Roma more and easier than the nbd vivid frame and after replacing more than 8 arms in 3 weeks I finally gave up on the Roma because not only are the arms weak as $#!+ the motor bells are way too thin at the spokes... Roma Toka motors break as easy as flow motors

Just goes to show everybody's experience is different. I found the arms on the Vivid to break too easily, whereas the Roma held up fine for me. And same with the Flow motors--not that they were weak just I thought they died a little easier than I might like.

I am completely new to this. Would this be a good quadcopter to start with? What else do I need? Is the controller, goggles and battery included? I think not for that price point so what you reccomend for those? You can give me a link with more info that is also up to date? Thanks very much to anyone who responds.
