Why I Chose the GEPRC Moz7 V2
As someone who has flown Cine Whoops and 5-inch freestyle quads, I was in search of something with more range and endurance. The Moz7 V2 caught my eye because it offered the smooth, stable lines and long flight times I was looking for. I wanted a drone that could go the distance—perfect for mountain flights, long coastal runs, or days when you need extra flight time to explore and capture the perfect shot.
The Moz7 V2 isn’t about being compact or flashy; it’s built to get the job done when you’re far from home. It’s massive, built like a tank, and after flying it, I can say it offers exactly what I was hoping for: confidence in exploring new terrains.
What’s in the Box?
When the Moz7 V2 arrived, I was eager to see what’s inside the box. Here’s what you get:
- Two sets of HQ Props (7.5 x 3.7 x 3) in a transparent gray color. Personally, I’d have preferred three sets, as extra props are always handy.
- Accessories: Two antennas, four battery straps (two of each size), battery grip pads, extra hardware, and the classic GEPRC keychain.
- Documentation: Basic manuals and instructions.
The drone itself sits securely in the middle of the box, with motors clearly labeled for easy orientation. A couple of GEPRC stickers are included, which is always a nice touch.
Build Quality & Design
The first thing you notice about the Moz7 V2 is the solid carbon plates that give it a sturdy, planted feel. The frame is reinforced with side braces, and you can choose to mount the battery on top or underneath, depending on the balance. Personally, I prefer mounting mine on top.
The design also includes protective features for the DJI O4 camera, with aluminum side protection and a TPU GoPro mount. If you want to position your action camera closer, you can reverse this setup. The O4 Airunit has dedicated cooling ports, ensuring optimal performance.
Inside, the drone features a rubber gasket for the USB port on the flight controller, allowing for easy Betaflight setup. The top plate is removable for quick inspections—much like popping the hood of a car. The overall weight of the drone is around 750g.
Recent Updates
The GEPRC Moz7 V2 comes with some notable upgrades. My unit features GA Speed X2 2809 450KV motors, but GEPRC is now switching to a 1280KV version, which should provide better efficiency when paired with Li-ion packs, translating into longer flight times for the same battery capacity.
Additionally, the ESC has been upgraded from 50A to 65A, providing more headroom and reliability when pushing the throttle, especially with heavier packs or in windy conditions.
Camera & Video Transmission System
The camera system on the Moz7 V2 is fantastic. I’m flying the DJI O4 version, which provides sharp, clean image quality in the goggles, with 1080p transmission and 4K recording up to 120 fps. I typically fly at 4K 60fps for a smoother experience. The DJI system offers low latency, and the signal range is rock solid.
If you’re not a fan of the DJI system, the Moz7 V2 is also available in a CADX version or without a system, so you can install your own. For those who enjoy cinematic FPV flying, I recommend adding ND filters to the O4 Airunit. The standard Avata 2 filters won’t fit due to the aluminum side braces, but Freewell offers great ND filters that work perfectly for this drone.
I shoot in DLOG M and grade with my own LUTs, which helps speed up my workflow and maintains a consistent look across all my videos.
GPS & Barometer: A Reliable Setup
The Moz7 V2 comes equipped with GEPRC’s GAP M1025 GPS module and a barometer, ensuring quick satellite lock-ons. In my experience, the drone consistently locked onto 15+ satellites in under a minute, providing peace of mind when flying at long distances. The GPS rescue feature is another layer of reliability, which I haven’t had to use yet, but it’s reassuring to know it’s there.
For those running BetaFlight 4.6 in development mode, altitude and position hold features are available. While I haven’t personally tested this feature, it looks promising, and I recommend checking out Squading Cod’s video for more information.
Battery & Real-World Flight Times
In terms of battery performance, the Moz7 V2 delivers solid results. After a flight on one of the hottest days this year, I was able to get around 11 to 12 minutes of flight time with cruising speed. This is a bit lower than the theoretical 25-minute flight time listed on the website, but this number is based on using an 8000mAh battery. Due to shipping restrictions, I received a 4000mAh battery, which gave me slightly less flight time.
When testing the drone’s range, I managed to reach 2.8 km on my first attempt, turning back to ensure I had enough battery to return home. On my second flight, I reached 3 km. While not extreme, this range proved that the Moz7 V2 has the endurance for long-range flights.
Size Comparison: GEPRC Moz7 V2 vs. Vapor D6
To give you a better perspective on how massive the Moz7 V2 is, here’s a quick size comparison with GEPRC’s Vapor D6 quad. The Moz7 is significantly larger, and it’s hard to miss just how much more drone there is in the Moz7 compared to the Vapor D6. This size difference plays a key role in its long-range capabilities and stability.
Article Summary
The GEPRC Moz7 V2 is a massive drone, and flying it offers a very different experience compared to smaller quads. It’s built solidly and handles long-range cinematic flying with ease. While it’s less agile than smaller drones, it more than makes up for it with stability, range, and flight time. While I didn’t get to test the 8000mAh battery, the Moz7 V2 still delivers impressive performance. The drone is perfect for anyone looking to get into long-range FPV, offering a fantastic cinematic experience that you can’t get with smaller drones. If you’re considering the Moz7 V2, it’s a great option to start your long-range FPV journey.
