I love this hobby! 😃 Why I never tried FPV before is beyond me...it's such a rush and I have to say I'm hooked! I guess I'm an adrenaline junkie or something because like the RC speed runs this really gets me going. I will be back out with the RC speed runs soon guys. I just love all aspects of the RC hobby. 😃🍺🍺
I loved watching your speed run videos.So, when I started thinking of fpv’s and just saw your video on these I was pretty happy. I was glad you put the video of what you see at the end. I think I haven’t taken the plunge because I hate the big bulky goggles. Good job!!
Thanks brother for the kind words. 😃🍺🍺 I will be going back to speed runs for awhile soon. As for the goggles yeah they are big but aren't all that heavy and you can get lighter ones...cool you are thinking of FPV. It's kinda hard to learn at first but it gets easier with simulator practice. And my view in the goggles looks better than what the Goggle DVR records. These goggles don't record that great but at least it gives you an idea.
Thanks bro! It's a lot of fun being strapped into a drone with FPV. The goggles view is better than what you see here but it's still analog so it does have a little break up.
@@MosOneFPV I recommend if you are getting into FPV to get a quad that uses Express LRS for the receiver. A radio like the Radiomaster Zorro with built in Express LRS is best.
Awesome flight. Looked like you had it all under control. 👍 It will Bob around in the wind a little due to it size. But that was good. Evern ur son was proud of you. The cuddle of success. Brilliant video buddy 😀 🇬🇧 👍
Hahaha...yeah I wasn't expecting a hug at the end. He is a really good kid. 6 years old and he stood there perfectly concentrated on the quad for four minutes. I have extra goggles so he can fly with me in the cockpit. He loves it. Im going to get him flying too. My older son has taken an interest as well. Thanks for the encouragement brother.
@@gazfpv Yeah for sure. At this age he loves to hang out with me. Yesterday I was flying and my older son was watching my other quad in and out of the goggles. I crashed it into a tree because I was trying to turn my goggles DVR on. But because he was watching it was a quick retrieval. I had no idea where I was without him...hahaha.
@@KaizerTest yep. You allways need a spotter.iv searched for days for some of mine. Specially when running Crossfire long range an it comes down in a wood. Now that is a search an half. 😂 🤠🇬🇧👍
@@josefdahari I just hit 138mph with my Slash 4x4 modded GT. 150mph is the goal. There is too much prep work for speed runs just to do a handful of passes. It's expensive too.
@@josefdahari Hahaha. I ended up selling a bunch of my speed run cars and bashers to fund FPV...lol. I was just flying my mobula 7 in the house and under my ping pong table. the beauty is I can do FPV much more than speed running. The speed running is expensive and I can only go like once every 2 weeks to run. Most of the time I am prepping, repairing and charging & discharging batteries. FPV has more actual play time than the speed runs. Bashing I have gotten bored of. I have built my Arrma's with Just bash it and M2C racing chassis' and parts. I have launched my cars 30ft in the air. It was exciting but I get bored easily. I can keep pushing the excitment level with FPV 😃
Thanks Chuck! You know...I have GPS drones and I kinda fluffed off drones in general for cars. But this FPV flying is incredible. Like you are inside the thing flying it...hahaha. Its pretty hard to learn to fly in Acro mode where the quad doesnt self level and pushing the stick all the way doesnt just tilt the quad to a certain angle but will produce a roll or flip. But I practiced on a simulator...Liftoff to be specific...and putting in some time on that sim has made flying FPV in Acro mode become clear. I think I have found a new obsession to be honest. I'm still running cars but this is very addicting the FPV.
@@dortmunder27xxx Hi sorry I just saw this. I started flying in angle mode but not for long. It's much better to fly in acro and it's actually easier. But to start you do want some safety and Betaflight that all quads use has Acro trainer mode. When you enable it in the modes tab of betaflight your quad will only tilt to a maximum of 45 degrees. In acro without it your quad would do a roll or flip. As for this quad it is good but I recommend the Darwin baby Ape pro v2 darwinfpv.com/products/darwin-baby-ape-pro-v2 The reason is it comes with an ELRS receiver which is the newest radio protocol which gives the best range and receiver are inexpensive. Pretty much everybody uses Express LRS (ELRS) or TBS crossfire these days. Next it has better camera than the Tinyhawk Freestyle. And it has removable arms so if you crash and break one it's easily fixed. Both are good but I would get the Baby Ape Pro V2. Has to be V2 for the better frame. Also get a radiomaster Zorro ELRS radio or Radiomaster TX12 ELRS. And finally Skyzone Cobra X goggles. If you can't afford the Cobra X then Eachine EV800D will work but I highly recommend the better goggles. If you have the cash get a digital quad and goggles. Feel free to message me back anytime.
@@dortmunder27xxx Also get on the facebook group Beginner To FPV. I'm on there and it's a group that has over 20,000 members and lots and lots of people willing to help new people to FPV. You can contact me there as well.
I got the first one but it looses vtx signal at about 3 meters, So i bought the v2 version vtx is good but it's got a slight wobble, Now i know its some thing to do with the PIDs but which one im still a little new to this game
Hello, I recently purchased a Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle. I crashed to see if the capacity suddenly ran out during flight. One of the batteries was not connected, so I charged it, but it did not charge. Is it a battery problem, not an adapter problem?
Every time I fly, one of the batteries loses voltage quickly. The battery cable is also damaged. Is this a battery problem? And which battery do you prefer, emax, uruav, or gnb?
You have to be careful not to go any lower than 3.2v per cell or you will damage the battery. Battery brand makes little difference to me. Just make sure you watch voltage.
Those were my first goggles the Eachine EV800D analog goggles. They are cheap and work pretty well overall. They have two receivers inside so you can get a better picture. And you can run a patch antenna and an Omni antenna. I recently started a FPV only channel and if you go over there and subscribe you can hit me up for any questions on FPV you have. Been in this hobby for a few years now and have built like 15 so far....lol. It's addictive. ru-vid.com/show-UCI4c8bExveMUfmplFGQ4EJQ
Hi guys just a quick question,I have just purchased one of these in the UK and I'm just about to get into FPV flying once I have familiarised myself with current regulations on flying these types of drones here but I was just wondering is there a way to adjust the camera angle as it's pointing virtually straight ahead but I would much rather it be facing ever so slightly down.
Hi from Canada! So if you are just starting out I recommend having the camera level to the frame of the quad with maybe 5-10 degrees of up tilt. The reason is that the higher the camera faces up the faster you will want to fly so you can see the ground. SO basically camera angle dictates how fast you will be flying. Also taking off and landing is harder with a high camera angle. This is because on takeoff and landing the quad frame is horizontal to the ground but the camera will face to the sky on landing and takeoff making doing those two tasks harder because you cannot see the ground. So the simple answer is keep the camera at about 5 degrees facing up to start. Fly in a dry grassy area and bring a spotter for your first flights because these tiny things are easy to lose. Try and stay close and pay attention to your location...have the spotter watch your location as well.
thank you . I have a Fly Sky device and a receiver... I want to buy a drone from Emax, but how do I make a connection or connection between the Flysky device and the drone? Is there an explanation for the method? I hope so .
Basicially you need to solder the SBUS wire of the receiver to a free UART RX pad on the flight controller. Then solder the 5v to a 5v pad on the flight controller and negative to negative on the flight controller. Then you need to make sure serial RX is checked off in betaflight. There's a few steps and it's not hard but can be hard for someone that hasn't soldered on tiny solder pads. Get a lighted magnifying glass that clamps to your table so you can solder easier...it really helps. And pre tin the wire and the pad on the flight controller. Use some flux as well. Then when you solder you only need to heat the pad and wire together without adding any more solder. There is a bit of a learning curve to all this and its a bit frustrating at first. But if you watch video and take your time you can make less mistakes. Which Flysky receiver do you have?
@@sssssssss4258 Yeah that receiver is for a plane. It's too big for a 2.5" drone. I used the FS A8S amzn.to/3p4fyWf which is still a little too big but I fit it just above the bottom plate of the quad. You need to remove the bottom plate to fit it in. You could just stick it on the outside though. The best range and smallest receiver for Flysky radio's is the Oversky XR602T-A. Its the smallest with best range. www.banggood.com/custlink/mvDdQcV9N5
Yes you can use angle mode. Angle mode is good for just starting but I found Acro trainer mode the best next step. It is full acro but limits you from going too far on the sticks and flipping the quad over. Then once comfortable with acro trainer go full acro.
For a small quad like this it's: A - Economical B - Very easy to setup and C- Has more than enough range for a toothpick quad. The radio is very cheap to buy and receivers are also cheap. I have a Tango 2 and crossfire for my long range and digital quads that I like to fly further out. But for my close flying small quads I use this radio. I have been using one regularily for a year and a half and it still works like new. I use it on my sim as well.
But you know if I was starting out in this hobby today I would get the Zorro or Jumper T-Lite Pro with ELRS. I would only get the Flysky today if I was on an extreme budget. But for like $40 it definitely worth it. And if I was starting out today I would probably use the ELRS protocol exclusively and not use Crossfire. Crossfire is amazing but I think ELRS has great price AND long range and penetration.
