My tiny hawk only lasted 1 week I haven’t flown it much or crashed at all all of the sudden it doesn’t want to fly. I can turn it on and video camera still works but won’t fly Please can anyone help me ????

@markovart6094 2 года назад

I bought the tinyhawk 3 bundle a little bit ago, and now my radio won't bind to my drone anymore? Any advice or help on this?

@therealbriancox 2 года назад

My first FPV (3 weeks ago) was the Emax Tinyhawk 3, basically the same thing. For $300, I had a full FPV experience, plus a controller to start simulating in Liftoff. 100 flight hours later, I bought my first 5" quad. I feel like I'm way ahead of the curve and very grateful that I started here. I actually just bought 2 more Tinyhawks for my best friends to convince them to go all-in too. This is the coolest hobby ever. Can't believe I didn't find out about it sooner.

@andriivelychko5828 Год назад

Which 5" did you chose?

@dingop83 Год назад

@@andriivelychko5828 I did the same thing, tinyhawk II > geprc mark 5. Went digital cause I knew I'd regret if I didn't. 20 hours in a Sim before I even touched the drone, it's still crazy. Only prior experience was insurance/programmed flight with dji phantom 4 pro. It is entirely different, and so much more difficult, but also so rewarding and freaking awesome!

@xWazzuuup Год назад

What drone will you buy as an upgrade you think? And would you replace the controller and goggles or keep them and just buy a new drone?

@strykerfpv 8 месяцев назад

yeah im thinkin the same thing, my buddy gave me his old controller so i think ima jus get a mobula 6 for indoors and then get a nazgul5 or mk5

@realwildman Год назад

This review helped to propel me into the world of FPV. I did find that I was able to plug the controller directly into the computer and use it with a sim. I have now been flying in for a month and have been enjoying it so much that I just ordered a better pair of goggles and have been looking at other quads as well. Thank you Joshua for all you do for the hobby!

My husband has been flying for a few years now. Earlier today we began talking and I expressed interest in learning to fly FPV myself, but was too nervous to try with his drones. He currently has the Nazgul Evoque x5 and the Baby Nazgul. I appreciate this video and all your videos as it does help a beginner like me learn more about the hobby before fully getting into it.

The acting in this video is next level. I see a shower of Emmy nominations coming! For reals tho, my neighbor bought the old TinyHawk AIO starter kit and its a great value and a great way to learn. The TinyHawk is simple, versatile, capable and about impossible to break. And the new controller is a big upgrade from the 'video game' controller they used to ship it with. This really is a top notch option for anyone looking to get into IRL FPV flying. Thanks for sharing!

@nedstudt 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic video! Note to past you from future self: Without knowing better, I plugged my controller directly into the usb port and logged obligatory hours in LiftOff with no issues. The controller does need to be powered on, but not the quad copter. You obviously positively influenced the design.

@PunakiviAddikti Год назад

Many beginners will struggle with the throttle control. They'll push it all the way up, the drone shoots up like a rocket, they panic and pull the throttle all the way down, the drone falls like a rock and smashes on the ground. I first started flying RC as a child with one of those IR controlled indoors toy helicopters from Air Hogs. They have a springloaded throttle to make sure it stays all the way down. My first flight was exactly what I described above. It takes time to realize that you need to slightly let off the throttle after takeoff and make very small adjustments. When it finally clicked, I instantly improved a lot.

@AlexLebed 2 года назад

cool video! I've got into hobby with tinyhawk 2 indoor, and flying it 300 meters high until link drops - and surfing back all with huge video noise is unbelievable experience. Until one day I finally killed it.. the biggest drawback is very back radio, it affected flying a lot. but tiny 75mm pusher whoop on 2s is wild.

I was between this and the geprc Tinygo racing fpv, ended up getting the Tinygo since I was able to locally pick it up at NewBee here in SD, love it so far, I’m practicing without the goggles to get a hang of the controls, I’m on day 2 right now and my biggest challenge is the throttle because I’m used to an auto hold $25 Walmart drone where I didn’t need to worry about constantly use the throttle haha

@NonEuclideanTacoCannon 2 года назад

Lol at the beginning, that was me. I didn't think things through, and I built an absolute monster quad for my first. I thoroughly destroyed it on the first flight. Only salvageable component was 1 motor and prop. I even broke the FPV cam and vtx antenna. Expensive lesson learned.

@patrickboyd8368 Год назад

Josh many MANY thanks for your indepth help, I wish more vendors watched your videos and knew the products they sold in greater detail, especially when they sell only one type of drone as we ran into with a kit of 6 bought for a school, and sold expressly from an education vendor for that purpose. All of them had to be returned because the cross-talk and interference were impossible to overcome, indoors and outdoors flying them all at once. ( as we were told could be done) I'm trying to rebuild our program now, and I have watched your "DJI and analog CAN fly together" video (three times), as well as others like your "RC control link shootout", which preceded this video here by two months. Do you think a drone like the EMAX (or the GEPRC) could be modded up to full power as shown AND using VTX we could set say 4 of them far enough apart on the race band channels to operate near each other in a school gym? I don't think I'd ever try 6 drones at once again...because science!, ... maybe three drones at one end of the school and 3 at the other end, but I'd really like to get to 4 drones in one location... it would just break apart the class into better groupings. I'd never hold your feet to the fire for any recommendation, but now that you have done some of the specific videos that dove-tail together and the sport has evolved to the amazing offerings in 2023.... do you think it's possible for schools to get into this now and not get stuck with irreplaceable, interference ridden, unrepairable, overpriced toy trash?
