So I got my defender 16 a month or so ago... I am on my 3rd o3 camera module install from cracking the lens.... tune is pretty maxed out and the stock motors are so noisy/vibration. Swapped in rcinpower gts v3 1002's with the stock hq props and it made a world of difference for the vibration coming through on throttle. Also can pull out of a dive now which... previously was a 50/50 shot...

Great review and tear down! How do you like the defender 20 compared to the Pavo20?

I bought pavo 20 over the defender 16/20 and darkstar 20 and pico. Pavo 20 is kinda sweet spot for me, using GF2023-3 props. Soon im going to change the motor to T-Motor 1103 11000kv. 😎

Hoping I don't get a name for posing stupid questions but, so there are no fail safes, like being able to monitor the battery level thru the goggles? And of course no RTH function low battery level or lost signal? What happens if you do lose signal? And the normal, sport, manual mode switch doesn't do anything? Turtle mode? Speaking as a long time DJI pilot. I have the DJI FPV but am afraid to fly it on manual. I spend time and money buying the latest greatest accessories for it but don't fly it.

Yes so compared to DJI you have very limited failsafe. You will see the battery voltage however if it gets to low it will just fall from the sky. There is no RTH or the intelligent failsafe features you have on DJI drones.

I'm really tempted by the Defender 16 as I have the Avata with the compatible goggles 2 and controller 2, still learning FPV so this seems like a natural progression. Thanks for the heads up about binding and tuning.

We shouldn’t really promote proprietary batteries, they’re a nightmare for stocking and leave’s customers without a decent supplier nearby in most cases.

DONT BUY defende 16 ! Qaud is fun to fly but all the footage is Jello. ive had 2 of these and the footage is unusable. the camera mount needs to be soft mounted and also not connected to frame as a unibody to mount. i love flying this but not worth it. i bought ND filters hoping to fix the issue and it still is jello. With a little more engineering to make a soft mount camera dampener this could be a cool little micro drone. Another issue is battery's fail pretty quickly. Ive had mine for 6 months and all ready have thrown 5 battery away because they wont take a charge anymore. Only fun is flying it indoor but its usless if i cannot record video footage. Oh i forgot to mention the props they give you fall off in mid flight. the did send me replacement gemfans but dont use the stock iflights.

Thank you very much for another excellent Review. Do you think we need an Open Source Standard for Lipo Batteries for a All in One connector? The USBc powerbank charging is really ideal for traveling but the quad is to heavy in my eyes the happymodel mobula8 is way Lighter. What do you think.?

I still doubt the cooling of the naked o3 will cause issues . But you are showing the LED functions in minute 8 with quad powered on I assume?, No additional cooling needed? You don't mention anything about heating o3 at all this time. Do new fpv drone pilots don't have to worry any longer to overheat the o3 air unit?

If noise and sub250g doesn't bother you, go for the nazgul... if you want something sub250g and incredibly quiet, go for the baby hawk. I've currently got the bh 03, absolutely fantastic !

Hi thank you very much for this video. I recently bought this defender 16, I'm a complete beginner to drones and I think I made a mistake... 😭 I wanted to configure the drone on betaflight (I am also new to betaflight) and I believe I reinstalled the initial iflight software on the chip and deleted all the drone parameters by flashing the drone's mother chip. Since then the drone has turned on but the 03 air unit no longer turns on when I turn on the drone.... On the other hand, when I plug in the o3 is recognized by the DJI assistant when I plug it into the computer.... I imagine that the drone presets have also been reset... Do you have a solution or an explanation to resolve this problem? Thank you 🙏🙏
