QAV-S Mini 4" flight test vs CMW Shocker (freestyle vs. long range?) 

Hello sir~ Thank you for sharing. It's been two years since I started drones while watching your flight tutorial. Your video is always so good. Thank you, I am now a drone freestyler in Korea.🥰🥰🥰

Nice man. PLZ make an fpv mower mod build video and mow from your bedroom 🤙

Nice! Fellow Tennesseean here and we finally got some nice weather after some bad storms 👌

Ha! Ride-on mowers are the best! You're hilarious at times JB.

I love the QAV-S mini 4. I've had it build for a couple months now. I'm running Dave-C 1404-2450kv motors with gemfan 4023x3 props. with my naked gopro 8 and 1000mah RDQ battery I'm at 305 auw. Getting over 12 mins cruising and easy 7 min ripping pretty hard. I have some floppy props on the way from Pyrodrone, the 2 blade props, I want to use them for cruising maybe hit 14-15 mins with her. Thanks for video dude I really enjoy your content.

Glad I went straight to the conclusion and saw you catalyst was still on top especially against that quad

I always thought your topography was similar to where I live. Awesome to know you're a fellow Tennessean! Watertown here. Be safe today. Storms are supposed to be intense.

Wow 4 videos in one day!! New Record? Lol great review

Just bought DjI goggles along with a Caddix and still waiting for them to get shipped. People at DJI must be going crazy with orders. Those drones are some screamers will check them out in the description while I’m nursing my laptop back to health. Praying that you and yours are safe with all those storms this time of year.

I love mowing grass too lol thanks for the high quality content Joshua God bless :)

Hey Joshua I have just ordered the QAV-S Mini 4" Analog because of the tutorial you put up. Could put up a video of how to tune this drone further and any little tweaks or mods? I'm a newbie to all this FPV so would like to try stay under the 250 gram mark. Thanks for your reviews, I got an Eachine 300O and Radiomaster T16S on your recommendation. Are there any mini/toothpick fpv drones you would recommend with my gear for newbies? Thanks for sharing with us, really enjoy it! Keep it up!

Looking at the QAV-S kit, I noticed that the 4" and 3" frames are basically the same, only different size arms. That could make for a great modular quad. Want long range? put the 4" arms on. Freestyle? change to the 3" arms. Of course, for this, the motors can't be soldered to the ESC's, they'd need some sort of connector.

Enjoy video. Are you going to review the Emax babyhawk 2? I’ve been hearing good reviews on it.

Can you make an updated tuning video

Josh I need you to post a video on how you roll over the trees I wanna learn it so bad

Great flight comparisons. Shocker Woo-hoo speed 🚀👍

Hi Joshua! Could you please recommend a 4" or below, long range freestyle quad. Thx ❤️

JB bro! yes i can say bro because every week i watched so many hours of your exquisite content that now i can say bro! anyways man love the review! but this video you got that viral energy! did you had 3 coffees? did you do drugs? smocked weed?! not that you'll tell me! but very awesome positive energy you got! with the smiles that most of us need right now...so anyways kudo brother and thank you.

Love the farm and the flying. I build them can't flyem. CB

man the rain in knoxville has been crazy lately.. more time for research i suppose lol

Yeah your pounding out the videos today. Just got to say I really love my JB CMW Shocker Ultralite 4 inch build. I find I hard to want to fly my other models.

Something's burning* I Hope it's not me ...😂🙈🤣 Lmfao

Thought those clouds looked familiar, chillen over in mt juliet

Do you often go to your fridge and walk away wihout getting anything from it? Jokes aside, another Great video Joshua!!

What do you think about trying the 4" Fouride frame on 2203, both from Kebab? I'd be very interested in your comments. Regarding 4inch freestyle.

If I want to use dji fpv v2 for my main goggles, what adaptor and receiver module should I get?

You should look at the Tomoquads PredatorX gen2. Half the weight, true x layout, better camera protection....half the price too.

What KV motors are on the shocker

Yay I found the video before the FAA left a dislike.

That’s how I would expect a 1404 on a 4” prop vs a 2004 on a 4” prop to compare

Have a question I have the arris x110 HD and I just did the frost flight and it is beeping like a battery is low but there fully charged and this is about a min into flight do you have any suggestions to y it mite be doing this

I have a question can a fpv drone stay in the air without touching like a dji

I think these quads are in 2 completely different classes. the qav-s seems like a long range quad that can do some freestyle and the Shocker is a whole different beast. Some of the best flying I've ever seen from you has been on the shocker.

Is there a analog one because that's what I want so bad

0:50 why you do me like that mr knowallquads

Could i use a 1300mah 4s. That's all i have rn.

JB, you talk about the Shocker like it's a heavy frame, it's only 48.5 grams, compared to a Diatone Roma that's 47g, the increased durability is from trick engineering alone and with the right motor setup (1404s like all the other micro long rangers) this is the best frame for a micro long range build. All GPS, antenna, and xfire mounts are made by catalyst and are engineered really well, the antenna mount is the best I've used on any of my quads. You and other reviewers have made this same mistake about this quad and assuming it heavy because they sent you a 2004 version rather than a 1404 4". It's a more freestyle oriented frame by design but the weight allows it to be compared to and ultimately beat the micro long range frames in every aspect except battery capacity because of prop clearance. I hope this changes your perspective on this frame! I just finished a 5" FPVcyc. 2204 build in one and am thoroughly impressed.

I am stuck on tiny whoops but that looks fun

I was wondering... Who would be the quadcopters god? 🤔 All I can think is a mix of Apollo (he used to fly in a golden chariot) and Thor... Because of LiPos and high current. 😬 Anyway, great flying, Joshua!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Joshua, you could use a kubota bx2380 for that compound. mid mower 60", front loader and 48" box blade for that driveway.

Still at least a month or more away from mowing ☹️, it's snowing here Right now 😭 I wanna fly 🤯

I've found what I feel is the best combo. I use the catalyst frame with same motors but low kV. 24-26 mins on 4s 18650 and blindingly fast on 850 6s. Best of both worlds.

Sorry JB but why do you love mowing? Do you see your yard? anyways love the vid

How about 3.5" babyhawk 2 HD sub 250grams?

fly low and you can mow and fly has any tied it?

Is it just a common theme to see a dead cat frame and say its a LR quad, or is it the GPS? And if it is a freestyle quad, why the GPS? Just curious

Bahaha... that ending tho. Hilarious.

I think 4" sub 250g with a naked gopro will become the new flavour to have soon, prob get the rigidity and weight.

Yes build it....

Check out mini Apex

Could this Quad carry a Gopro Hero 7 or a Gopro session ?

Mouth-breather. 😂 I’m just bustin your props dude. I really really love all of CMW’s designs. I don’t know why they appeal to me soo much, I can’t put my finger on it. I like the idea of a heavy but really durable quad. I like the thought of having my quad for years and just beating on it indefinitely. My only real build so far is a 3” BangGOD that I sourced all the parts for. I absolutely love it! I think I would also love the 4” Shocker just as much. Edit: You tryin’ to give me an opportunity to win that Shocker from ya??

Been wondering, off topic question, how do you like your scamp?

👳‍♂️When I looked up at the beginning, your goggles looked like a turban.👳‍♂️ Now I Can't Get It Out Of My HEAD!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 👳‍♂️You'll Never Look The Same!👳‍♂️😂👍

Is the CMW Shocker 5" frame durable enough for freestyle ? I mean with that low weight you have to make some compromises?

I love mowing 2

Busy today!

Your pool is lookin gnarly JB!

May I ask what battery is it on the QAV-S?

I thought you were in Kentucky?

💎👍👍💎, yeah🤘

I like fast!

i had a 4inch with big motors before it was cool..

Someone clip how JB is excited of long grass lol

I see cars next to your yard. :)

4 inch is the perfect size to go to the 250g limit (with runcam thumb pro or a naked action cam) . And have more freedom to fly the drone in the EU. At the moment sub 250g with a 5" and action cam is nearly impossible...

Ii love cutting grass too

Oh, JB signature red tape. Wait. I want JB signature red tape :D

🤠👍

Are those glasses you wearing for distance...or reading?....My readers don't work with DJI Goggles...It's why I'm asking🤔🤔🤔🇬🇧

Get the Apex 4 inch and you will know what real fun is.

Sweet! Interested in all sub250 content you can offer! :)

I thought I heard people screaming at each other in the background.

Josh you fixed your fence whyyyyyyy !!!!

Remember when 4in had no future?

Sorry but deadcats just look terrible in flight to me. The ass end just lags around on turns, and the rolls are always funky. Reminds me of a tricopter. I guess some people don't mind but I think there are way better options for freestyle.

5 inch 6s, boom baby!

first!

your battery is mounted to far back ? lol sorry

شكون من تونس؟؟🇹🇳🇹🇳

Was that mowing comment legit or a joke?

Already mowed my grass, our weather is crap though, situation normal...If you start wearing shorts within the next week, I'm unsubscribing you ...lol...🤔🤔😯😯🇬🇧

4 inch is cool, but it's not 5 inch.. Its hard to explain, but no craft, no matter what you do to it, will fly like a 5 inch.. so 250g limit imposed or not, I'm going to fly whatever I feel like.. especially with the circus of a federal govt, and office of president we're stuck with now
