EMAX Nanohawk + GNB27 | Hands-On Review 

What a legend. Mr Shutterbug is the Bob Ross of the Drone world. Always a pleasure to watch.

I am interested in you making a video with 40mm props and cutting the guards off the frame. I always love your video content and look forward to your next one!

You can hold down the VTX button while connecting a lipo to unlock the VTX. It comes locked out of the box

I like the flight you did in the backyard! A good show of the quad’s capabilities.

VTX is locked outta the box...dumb but once you unlock it...instructions were included...it’s fully functioning

Your flying skills are impressive. Your content is also really high quality. I've enjoyed every video of yours that I've watched. Thanks for taking the considerable effort to share with us all.

Man that was some epic flying consider me subbed... thanks man!!! Nice review.

On the BT2.0 connector I made a black line on the minus side of the connector with a permanent marker.. So it's easier to plug it in.. And you can charge it with a PH2.0 charger too (thus they fall out easily)

Good review! I also have this Nanohawk and I think it's a bit too fast for indoors (well, at least in my home and with my flying style). I have 3 batteries and also a loose connector on one of them.

In theory camera tilt is adjustable by moving the whole rubber holding it (is should have tabs on the backside where the "handle" Is). Also Eachine sells 250mAh batteries with ET2.0 connectors, which are compatible with GNB27. I bought an Eachine 65pro, which comes with a 6channel charger ph2.0 and et2.0 connectors on it.

superb review... and please mod the NH and see how far it can be pushed.... excellent

19:31 By all means Nate please do it I'm very curious to see that in a future video? Fantastic job on the honest hands on review!

I've been making "armor" for mine and thought about carbon fiber. Sweet!

have mine for 2 months, still on 3 original props, I put a throttle expo at 30% . makes it easier to fly.

GNB27 is a bit heavier than BT2.0 I'll keep using BT2.0..

I’ve had a similar issue with the gnb27 connector... Also.. I think the pigtail on the quad is too short also.. Using 450’s isn’t fun.. I really like the Nanohawk for zipping around parking garages..

I used the fc in my toothpick and used the GnB 27 👍👍👍👍

Emax needs to change the hardness grade of the plastic on the ducts...they are too soft as is. If they make that change (or someone makes an after-market upgrade) then this will be a worthy Tinywhoop.

Very informative. Thank you 😎👍

This was the first drone I ever got a review unit of and it was so underwhelming I just didn't want to bother. Flew it twice (once outside and once inside through a little track I set up) and put it back in the box and it's been sitting there for 2 months 😄 Pretty sure my battery had a loose connection too as on third charge it almost instantly went to land now and just had almost no power at all, I thought I forgot to charge it at the time. I agree ducts are completely useless, feels like you can't bump anything without them bending into your props and stopping them dead so might as well just cut them off to save weight. I've ordered a spare frame to try cutting this one but it never arrived from China... Flew pretty nice in acro though, but I haven't flown it enough to claim it's a lot better than Meter65/Mobula6 at that. So yeah I guess if you have other whoops and toothpicks but want something even smaller to acro with, this might be the one, otherwise... heck no 🙂 So yeah, good and honest review as expected 👍👍

Hi Mr. Shutterbug, This was a very thorough review. Many thanks for the hard work! I was wondering whether by cutting the cards off you wouldn't actually save your props? With the guards, the prop is slowed and twisted. Without you simply block the motor... I also want to cast my vote on top of the others, a 40mm nano toothpick could definitely be a fun project. I actually just bought the carbon frame for that exactly 😉

I've experienced the same loose connector issue with GNB27. Out of 16 batteries I've bought so far (4x 650mah and 12x 450mah), I've seen 2 connectors on the batteries that had that same problem. I also noticed that these two connectors felt more loose when connecting/disconnecting to the male connector on the drone/charger. My solution was to use tweezers to very, very slightly bend the male connector pins outwards, to make the connection tighter. I haven't had a problem since. Also, after each time connecting the batteries to the drone, I always wiggle the battery wires around to make sure it's secure and power doesn't cut out. Perhaps I shouldn't have to do all this but the connector is so good on voltage sag for my Babytooth.

Great vid man , have considered doing a shark byte review?

I just experienced the same issue with the vtx, shut right down on me, till i got it back to same r4. i've had mine for 3 weeks still running same props that was installed on it, might be cause i'm not pushing it yet. 2 sets of rates, profile one is for beginners, 2 is sharper and faster rates.

Great review 👍 especially where you said, „It’s a fun way in the evening to relax.“ Same here! As for the broken props, yeh it’s frustrating & costs 🤦🏻‍♂️ The durability? Would the iFlight A65 do better? I just ordered one for my b-day today so I could rip around my small apartment. Would you know if I could put JazzMaverick on it? Take care & happy fly’n 🤓😉😘

I've had the same issue with the gnb27 connector on about 1/6 of the batteries I've bought

great , again.

It's great fun outside, pushing it really hard ive broken two carbon frames already. Both time where next to the motor it folded the arm. Its great but lacks durability, worth it for me as it flys like a lil 5inch in the front yard. Powerloops, matty flips its so capable.

Are you going to review the Happymodel Moblite 6 and 7?

Kevin from Emuflight recently released Emu 0.3.3 for F3 boards. Can I use more/less the same PID-s settings and DAS configuration from attached dump file on F3 based 65mm BRUSHED whoop?

Like TitanFPV said, the VTX has to be unlocked. Also, you have to disable smart audio for the button to work.

Maybe someone knows if there is a channel for beepers?

flywoo nano baby 1S firefly have this speed?? is fast?

Thank you! Very nice review. And me too I am curious to fly it without prop guards outside. What is the center to center distance between the motor mounting holes? I am also pretty interested in a comparison between xt30 and gnb27 connectors on this or on a larger toothpick. P.S. Emacs, nano, awk...they could add vim for a full gnu family...;)

Can u review one of the eachine tyros?

Do you have to "unlock" the vtx like the older tinyhawks to get race band?

Very complete review. Thanks, I'll avoid this one.

Hi, a whoop broke props is not good frame, you think is better your build ?

How do you do that go so fast

Hey there Nate! Have you ever checked out the microheli mobula 6 conversion frame? It's ductless and It's pretty fun.. Not perfect but I'm curious how it compares. Plus side you can use your own parts and not have to buy into the proprietary stuff the nanohawk uses.

Imagine! A US vendor that eliminates the 3 MONTH wait for Chinese RC stuff! A BIG plus right there!!

I was super disappointed with this one. As soon as you crash, it is basically over, swap the props and try again. Outside I got extrem jello. I taped the cam down which made it slightly better - but still no fun at all for me. The soft hoops makes it impossible for me to fly indoors, the props pop off all the time. I like that EMAX tried to do something different, but nah - this one is not for me at all. I like the FC/VTX combo though.

EMAX VTXs come locked to be FCC compliant. You have to unlock it.

Can u also fly like this with a whoop?

Mine is jello city after a few crashes...changed props and its still crap...anyone got a good tune?

Is it 'loud'?

Hopefully gnb last over betafpv.

Online products hota hai

Throw away the Emax props . Put some 3 bladed Mobula 6 props on it , they work great and have not had to change one in 3 months since I got this quad . It is my fav right now . Love your vids :)
