HGLRC Rekon 5 MINI long range FPV drone

HGLRC is the first drone manufacturer that introduces failsafe insurance for long-range FPV drones. The Rekon 5 MINI is their inaugural product which can be purchased in a bundle with this premium service. You can opt for 3 or 6-month insures. In case you lost your drone during a flight and you can prove it with DVR footage, you can get a new one for half of the original price.

The HGLRC Rekon 5 MINI LR is available with an analog or digital FPV system. While the analog version comes equipped with Caddx Ratel V2 FPV Camera and Zeus VTX 800mW VTX, the digital edition with CADDX Nebula Pro and Vista HD VTX. The price difference between the two versions is more than 100 bucks ($225.99 vs $335.99 check price at Banggood). Both editions are available in 4s (3000KV motors) and 6s (1800KV motors) power options. There is also an option to purchase a bare frame kit for those who want to build their own long-range Rekon drone.

Of course, the value of the insurance is depending on the price of the drone. For example, the 6-month insurance for the HGLRC Rekon 5 Analog will cost you $29.99, and for the HGLRC Rekon 5 Digital $41.99.

Just like the Sector 5 V3, the Rekon 5 also comes equipped with the ultra-light M80 GPS module. If everything set up correctly, the drone will autonomously return to the take-off point in case you fly out of the controller’s range. RTH can be manually triggered from the transmitter as well.

HGLRC recommends to power their 4S Rekon drone with an 850-1800mAh battery or the 6S version with a 550-1300mAh LIPO pack. They claim that both versions are compatible with 3000mAh batteries if you are looking for maximum flight time.

By default, it comes with an included Naked GoPro mount, but I’m sure that can be equipped as well with the easy to use SMO 4K camera.
