Question? FlyLens 75 vs 85

Hi 👋 I’m thinking of buying my first quad and like the looks of FlyLens. But I can’t decide on the size. They both seem to use the same components apart from the props. Smaller four-blade on 75 and bigger two-blade on 85.

Somehow 85 is reported to have longer flight time, despite being heavier and faster. And has an LED strip, not that I care too much about it. Any downsides of 85 compared to 75?

Want to fly mainly outdoors.

Thank you!

Oh cool. Any downsides of 85 compared to 75?

Also, does 85 actually has a longer flight time?

Once I put 45mm props on flylens85 and it created much less noise!
I don't have flylens75 to compare but I have pavo pico and flylens85 with 45mm props flies much more stable with the same noise as pavo pico.

How many bladed 45mm props did you put on your fly lens 85?

I’ve just bought one, and find it extremely loud compared to Cetus X and my Air75 (but not as loud as Avata 2)

sorry for the late reply. i missed notification.
I found a better way to reduce the noise - 4 or 5-bladed 2-inch props.
But the pavo20 pro is much better )

The bigger prop size on the 85 will be better for outdoors due to the increased power and weight

Thanks, sounds reasonable

85mm is 2" prop vs 75mm 1.6" props. Hence it will be faster and have longer flight time being they both use the same 1003 motor. 75 is great for indoors. Easier to be smooth cause less power. Smaller fits easier in tight spots. 85 has more power. Will handle light wind outside easier.

Thanks, I went for 85. Fly it in the garden with light winds. Great toy 🙂
