The Darwin BabyApe is a budget drone that currently costs $80, while the popular Nazgul Evoque F5 costs close to $500. Why does one cost so much more? Is it worth spending the extra cash? What do you actually get when you pay more?

So glad you're back Matt, I've really missed your content. You do a great job explaining things clearly for us beginners. Thanks for all your expertise.

Thanks Matt for these videos. You were one of the first FPV content creators I watched and got inspired by. Starting with Eachine novice 2 starter pack and now have built up 2 HD 5'' quads. Winter is around the corner so about the time to go train inside with a tinywhoop.

Awesome video Matt, glad to see your posting again!

@shaaww Год назад

For the action camera, there are new options really really good if you dont want to go for gopro, like the runcam thumb pro, or the firefly lite 2. Really cheap for the value you are getting, you have to use gyroflow tho.

@billmcdonald4335 Год назад

Low budget is all I can run, and I have to say the Baby Ape Pro was a good choice for me. I crashed it many times, some pretty hard, and had to replace a motor from one impact, but I've gotten dozens of hours [yep, hours] of flight time with it, and it's still flies like new. A great park flyer, but not one for wind or distance [VTX isn't the best, is it?]. Still, I'd recommend it because it's cheap, tough, and reasonably easy to repair.

@crewleader3834 Год назад

Glad to see you making new videos. Ngl I checked your channel recently cause I noticed I hadn't seen you in a while, miss your informative content. I have a nazgul and was thinking about getting a cheaper quad now that I have the whole equipment set but I would personally prefer to get a ducted drone around 250g (ofc when I have the money) :)

@shaneridge9557 Год назад

I'm already bought into analog and can't justify $500+ for goggles and $200 per drone on upgrades. I don't use mine for filmmaking either just close range freestyle so the range thing doesn't bother me much. Although the one time I saw through dji goggles in person has made me want it ever since

@chairfpv 9 месяцев назад

exactly for close freestyle analog is fine but for cinematic and long range digital is king

Hi Matt I am thinking of buying the DJI Avata, the Babyape, or a Tinygo 4k am I sacrificing quality over price if I go for the babyape or the tinygo? Also, could you do a review of the tiny go 4k?

@chrisalexthomas 9 месяцев назад

The first drone I bought was the baby ape and I have to say, it's really fun to fly this thing around and throw it about a bit. I really enjoyed it. It's not very sturdy though. Hard crashes on concrete is going to break the arms. So if you buy it. Buy a couple of extra arms too. just in case you do what I did and then you need to wait 4 weeks to get replacements from China. Which is a bummer and really stops you in your tracks. Always buy a couple of spares. You'll thank yourself for it later. Even if it costs another 20 euros

@Doboxik 15 часов назад

The thing with the quality parts is also durability and ease of fixing after crashing. Quality gear tends to take a beating a lot better than cheap parts. So in a long run it is better to invest in some good stuff that will last.

@fractalrender Год назад

You didn’t mention also that you can pull the baby ape almost every where!. And the nazgul it’s more restrictive for using. In my case I have for cinematic the iflight cinewhoop or a smaller cine8, and for flying around an emax tinyhawk which catches almost no attention.! I guess that’s also important!. Great explanation as usual for beginners like me!. Cheers from argentina!

@nickrshorts 8 дней назад

hey, i have had drones before but never a fpv. i have a gopro hero 10, what drone would i need. so do i get a full rig. im on a tight buget.

@rasmus1600 Год назад

About that power tho. If the batteries are using the same cells, having double the cells gives double the voltage. i.e. 3s 2V batteries gives 6V, while 6s batteries gives 12V. The way you connect the batteries in series or parallel determines the output voltage and current. More batteries in series gives a higher voltage, more batteries in parallel uses the same voltage but with more current available(more Ah).

@Dec_K Год назад

I have a DJI FPV drone & looking to get a cheap drone to practice with. Is there anything that can link to the remote 2 & DJI goggles V2 with analog. I am guessing I need to add analog reciever onto the goggles & probably would need a new radio. Just looking for cheap practice & not worrying about expense of crashing

@2740hansen Год назад

bro, i'm lost. been flying simulator for 200 hours and want to start FPV. I need a sub 250g quad to freestyle, race and cruise maybe 2 km. possible? do i go digital or analog? any budget friendly suggestions for drone and goggles? i dont want to compromise quality too much though. love your videos thanks in advance

@JombieMann Год назад

Is your Baby Ape the pro? By this time all the BA's should have the caddx ant camera which is a big upgrade from the 700tvl camera on the original ape. I have one of the BA's and that thing is durable. I have hit unknown number of trees and even into a chain link fence with no damage. I have chewed up plenty of props. Also the screws have a tendency to fall out so you need to check them before a day of flying. I have more flights on it (by far) then on any other of my quads. I recently put a Thumb Pro on it and I think the quality of the Thumb is every bit as good as the more expensive action camera's.

@Matt Pochwat the Baby Ape can carry a fully sized gopro 8 with battery... If you make a charge cable to USB-C, you can even ditch the battery.

I like what you have have said in this video. Can you suggest a bundle for me goggles, drone, batteries, charger everything and where to buy? I want to purchase open the box charge it then fly. I like the Nazgul and want the clear digital view. I'm ok with spending the money so suggest some good stuff. Just got a Drone mask for my DJI mimi 2 and I all ready want more of this FPV flying. I just do it for fun if you needed to know.

@theymstudio1387 Год назад

It’s meant to be designed to be more resilient than they already are with the black frames. But also reducing (slightly) the weight, so it performs “better”. Which is why they’ve named it the CINELOG 35 performance

@amorton94 Год назад

The drone I bought was from Darwin. They didn't send any nuts to attach the propellers. Emailed them and received no help, they even tried telling me it didn't need them. Sent them a nice screenshot of their product listing with the nuts on the propellers circled. They still offered no solution.
