WORLDS FASTEST PRODUCTION DRONE JUST WENT HD!! GT349 HD
We liked the unique gtr349 clocking in at over 180kms per hour so now we’re excited to attempt the gtr 349 with a construct in HD video recorder. If this the way forward for our …
which one do you prefer GTR349hd link –http://bit.ly/GTR349HD

Thank you so much for sharing this review!
I have the caddx hd and I don't like the live picture, the recording is really nice though, it's in the beta85x hd.
If Runcam is watching this they should take the next step to integrate the chip set and SD card into the camera body. If they committed to the intellectual property of this design they would probably leave Caddex and Foxeer behind. We can't let the Black Hornet guys have all the fun
The spare battery strap in the box easily fits my 4s tattu 850
What does the community think of the reliability of the parts (FC ESC motors) in the quad?
I have been building clones of this quad using an Omnibus F4 Nano V6 and Ori32 ESC that works great.
Damnit! I got a fair bit excited when I saw this in my feed. Too bad Diatone missed the mark on this one. Hope they manage to make a new version that doesn't have that horrible jello. And thanks Stu for telling it like it is.
I have the HD Model and the camera is amazing. Not one bit of jello, unless you damage a prop. I just put out 5 new vids, Jello Free!! I love my R349 HD it's so good, couldn't be happier with camera. You must have a dud. Did Trev sit in the props?
that thing is ridiculously fast
I watched a review for the TM-3419 HD, which is the T-Motor version of this model with a runcam split mini. The HD footage was incredible! I would love to see you do a review of the TM-3419 HD to see what you think of it. I would also like to see you do a speed run with it. I know that the 349 is the fastest kwad you have reviewed but I'm thinking that the 3419 might be even faster with those t-motors! I'm curious to find out, aren't you? I really enjoy your reviews, keep it up.
Class act mate… cheers
The camera settings can be tweaked but how could one address the horrific jello? Is it the mount?
You can send it to me if you don't like it that much!!!!?
is this the caddix V2 or the V1?? as the V1 suffered from bad jello on the GT349 apparently it was fixed in a firmware update
HAYTCHDEE!!!
Stu still sounds like hes talkin out of a Eachine trashcan
Great vid Stu. So another commenter said he got a T-motor version with the split mini and vid quality was much better. Did they do a rolling change? Has anyone else gotten the T-motor version? Thoughts??
This could be a very powerful video foottage tool.
I have the original 349 before you guys even reviewed it. And i also have the Caddx v2 from my Beta85x which i ended up taken off the 85x because of the performance of the camera as far as the FPV view go's it sucks..The HD recording is pretty good.. I was debating putting the Caddx v2 on the Diatone 349 but i already tried the Caddx v2 on a similar build and it still didnt perform that well…The FPV view still lacked desired results as other none HD fpv cameras. Im thinking of trying the RunCam v2 version of the HD split. Hopefully we can get a decent HD FPV camera soon that performance is on par with gopro quality. And has a good fpv feed that doesnt look like your looking through a white haze!
What up. This is the drone I've been wanting and waiting for.
Mediocre FPV picture plus mediocre HD video? No way. Then my choice still is GT R349 without HD camera. With TBS VTX if possible.
At last I noticed what you did with stock battery connector in your R349-s. Seems I should do the same also because all my 4S batteries already have XT60 connector 🙂
Could the camera easily be replaced?
I am a drone pilot not a camera man good luck guys.
I have a v1 Caddx Turtle and I noticed those weird black lines in the HD footage as well.
I put one of the original Caddix turtles (Turtlet?) on my Rooster and had the same reaction. Horrible. I've tried everything, it's now on the bench getting a new Runcam Split mini V2. From what they say, the newer Caddix Turtle has been improved a lot, but the one I have is crap. 70 bucks down the crapper.
Need more furniture/sound absorb materiale in your studio.
I don't know about the world's fastest production drone, but diatone has the world's fastest customer service for pissing people off. Never again.
It looks like that one is using the plastic lens as some of them have been using
The spare Battery-Strap in the box is longer!
I didn't see any lines in the video
Think my eyes must be broken. Footage seemed okay to me.
Stu, you should put one of those self-healing cutting/soldering mat down on the desk to help you mark out where it records so you won't wonder if its in shot all the time! lol. But i totally dig the prop lamp! Oh, and you need to hang all of your drones behind you again…. Everyone that has watched your previous videos always made a comment on the old drone wall…. If i remember correctly, thats what drew me to watch your channel the first time…. idk, just some random suggestions. take it with a grain of salt…..
That hey-CHD works ok
Stew you did a 14 m of vid with a lot of of flying but nothing on the real video on the bench, mate pls stay focused on what your trying to do
Thank you for saving me money! I have the original, bought after your review as my first quad and I really love it. I was having buyer's remorse at not having the HD but, now I've seen the footage, I am very happy to stick with some DVR!! Cheers Stu!
I think they need to build an in frame camera/dvr combo using a quality CCD camera, NOT A CMOS CAMERA. Yeah the colors, and picture is a little better with CMOS, but look at the other problems introduced if everything is not perfect? All present HD in frame dvr setups are presently using CMOS cameras are they not? How is the FPV feed with the Caddox HD DVR setup?
I prefer the original , I love my Diatone gtr349. I have had one big issue with it though. Just wondering if anyone eilse has had the same issue. I have crashed a few times and have noticed the magnets in the motors have come loose. I took them apart and re epoxied the magnets back in. I have never had this problem with any other motors. Just putting it out there to see if anyone has the same problem.

Aww . . . Such a shame. I wonder if they just used a bad camera. This could have been so nice.
Like the old princess said Diatone go home, POS camera, reminds me of EMAX Tinyhawk! Manufacturer trying to make a quick buck and scam the buyers with dodgy cheapo parts.
Whatsss up!! stu love your videos ?
the minute i got mine not the hd version but the old one .i stripped it put on xt60 .took the vtx off and put a rush tank 800mw and put a foxeer 1200vtl mini camera and xm+ in it .and its turned out perfect .even with tank running at 800 and using 0.850 nano battery i still get pretty close to full running time ….i knew then i wasnt going to get the hd version after this.. maybe itl benefit someone who likes doing videos of their flight .but if ur like me just solely for the flight. its perfection
Eco is shit in the new studio. Shits me haha please work on that 1st befor anything else
Have you lost weight? You look good mate. Might be the shirt.
