iFlight Chimera5 DC LR HD Caddx Polar Vista Digital HD System

The iFlight Chimera5 LR HD is a pre-tuned 5-inch long-range FPV quad built for efficient cruising across open terrain. With GPS, a Caddx Polar Vista digital HD system and GoPro mounts, it suits FPV pilots who want smooth cinematic flights rather than freestyle tricks. Order the iFlight Chimera5 LR HD online here.

Why choose the iFlight Chimera5 LR HD

Long-range FPV rewards efficiency. The iFlight Chimera5 LR HD pairs ultralight XING 2005 2550KV motors with a Beast F7 45A AIO board, and a DeadCat frame keeps the props out of your camera view. The result is clean footage and long flights on the right battery.

Chimera5 DC LR HD Caddx Polar Vista Digital HD System

Introducing our first ultra-light Long Range 5 inch BNF for every terrain and beyond. Our newest Beast F7 AIO on board coupled with our XING 2005 motors. If our iFlight Chimera4 is too small and light to fight against stronger winds, here you go. Get flight times above 25min using at least Li-On 4S 3000mAh packs. Go crazy and strap a Li-On 4S pack on and go even further, depending on capacity and weight!

GPS Rescue ready for easy recovery in case of signal loss, or even if you’ve been surfing those mountains and suddenly can’t find the way back home.. Betaflight OSD pre-setup GPS elements will show you the way! Custom iFlight 150mm LR antenna for best signal coverage even at long distances.

Outstanding digital FPV experience in 720p directly on your goggles. Custom iFlight 150mm LR antenna for best signal coverage even at long distances.

Expected flight times (cruising, no freestyle, average speed):

Recommended battery: 4S 1300mAh and above!

Without GoPro: 11-13min // 4S 1300mAh, 14-15min //  4S 3000mAh Lion pack, 22-24min

With naked GoPro: 4S 1300mAh, 12-13min // 4S 3000mAh Lion pack, 20-22min

With full GoPro Hero8: 4S 1300mAh, 4-6min

ULTIMATE RANGE with full GoPro: 4S 4000mAh, 13-16min (iFlight FULLSEND INR21700, iFlight 5V BEC instead of GoPro battery)

CAUTION: Flying LIPOs like 850mAh and below might exceed your battery’s max power output on high throttle, might overheat the battery cells and shorten the battery lifespan drastically. Please fly with care!

CAUTION: Li-ion battery packs offer longer flight times (more capacity with less battery weight) but don’t have as much current output as LiPo batteries and tend to get hot if overloaded! Please read the specs and stay within limits!

-To restore lost tunes or updates, please check our linked article on “Firmware/Factory Dumps”

-Angle-Mode (self-balancing level mode) is enabled by default to make sure your first flight doesn’t end in a mess!

-Please check our linked article on “How to disable Angle-Mode, activate Acro-Mode”

-Please check our linked article on “GPS Rescue Mode // Setup”

Safety features for pilots new to long range

GPS comes pre-installed, and GPS Rescue can be set up to bring the quad home if signal is lost. It’s off by default to avoid unexpected behaviour, so configure and test it carefully before relying on it.

The iFlight Chimera5 LR HD ships with Angle mode enabled, so early flights level themselves. Once you’re comfortable, follow iFlight’s guide to switch to Acro mode for full manual control.

What you’ll need with the iFlight Chimera5 LR HD

Avoid small LiPos of 850mAh and below, which can be pushed past their limits at high throttle. Li-ion packs give longer flights but less current, so stay within their specs to prevent overheating.

• Digital FPV goggles compatible with the Caddx Polar Vista system
• A compatible radio transmitter to bind with the quad
• 4S batteries of 1300mAh or more, or a 4S Li-ion pack for longer cruising
• iFlight Nazgul propellers, as the motor prop mount currently suits them

Flying FPV within the rules

Long-range capability doesn’t change the rules. In Australia, FPV pilots generally need a spotter who keeps the drone within visual line of sight, so check CASA’s current requirements before you fly. Use the efficiency of the iFlight Chimera5 LR HD for longer, smoother cruising within those limits.
