Wow just 17 grams that's crazy less than am ounce and able to fly all the way down your street! Technology is getting crazy. Great review again hope you and family are enjoying vacation!!!
So I ordered the freestyle version and is my very first tinywhoop. I've flown a 2 inch and a 4 inch. I was so not prepared for how friggin fast these things are. Im very glad I've been hitting the sims hard lately. Was also amazed how much control I was able to fly this is in with its speed. Have no problem flying loops around my house and garage with the VTX only running at 25 mw. The frame on it seems a bit fragile I smacked into a lawn chair at a moderate speed and I can see it's slightly cracked already. Guess I'll have to find replacement frames. But wow what a blast.
flying inside you want to be at 25mw because of multi-pathing, race band 1 on 25mw actually outputs well over 200mw, race band 8 on 25mw will actually put out 25mw, thats why the race version had so much better video signal in the house and is not because of manufacturing variance lol
Thank you for the video! Your channel is what got me into FPV! Learned to fly using an emax rtf bundle. And now I've just bought a radiomaster Pocket ELRS and this drone (just got shipped today). I have watched a bunch of videos on setting up the remote to a drone, but it all seems so confusing. Would you be able to share/comment or make a video on how to setup the pocket to this drone? I personally don't think im good enough to fly acro yet, so I've been flying in level mode and sometimes horizon, but a lot of youtubers have said these modes are broken on this specific drone in terms of how theyve been setup. Thanks in advance, and greetings from Australia!
My advice is to watch my RADIOMASTER POCKET VIDEO showing HOW TO SETUP & BIND. It tells you everything you need to know. I don’t recall if these drones are FULL ELRS or ELRS SPI. If they are ELRS SPI then it means you BIND them using BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR under the RECEIVER TAB (click bind button). Anyways, watch the video and you’ll figure it out.
I got a 2024 mobula 6 With this same style canopy. It died with very light use much faster than any drone I've ever owned. I lost video the first day out of the box. These canopies are great for weight savings and performance, But with quite a cost to durability. I'm not sure maybe I just had bad luck
Apologies if this seems an obvious question. I have the Aquila16, can I use the goggles and controller from this kit to fly this drone? I'm not up to speed on all the technical stuff with FPV drones just yet.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, certainly. I see in the video you have the Radiomaster Nano on the back of the Radiomaster Pocket. The Radiomaster Pocket has ELRS so I was just asking why you have the Nano module on the back as well? Is it to improve signal strength?
@ Correct. It is actually the BETAFLIGHT ELRS transmitter on the rear (much more power output than the nano and two antennas and more connection features).
Hey Captain! I'm brand new to fpv, still figuring things out in the sim.. I want to make the jump to a tinywhoop, but I am VERY nearsighted (-9 in both eyes) and wear large eyeglasses, similar in shape to yours. I was really hoping you could provide some insight on the goggle situation.. Do I go for box goggles to accomodate my lenses? Someone told me that unlike VR goggles, fpv screens are set directly in front of your eyes and they can wear them without their glasses and see fine.. can you weigh in on this? liked and subbed ty for the helpful info!
-9 ? That is significant. I think that may be too much for any FPV Goggles on the market (most only go to -2). You will have to go for LARGE Box goggles that you can wear your glasses under. Also, you may be stuck with the DJI NEO COMBO. Apparently the N3 BOX Goggles that come with the kit allow for glasses.
I believe so. If you are a newbie to how radios and receivers work and how to bind to the aquilla16 remote then watch this: ruclips.net/video/KXn1Q0KtH1M/видео.htmlsi=sHiuAwNOowMOxgBi
These lite canopies have a strip with multiple screw holes coming out the back of the canopy strip. 0:27 the quad on the left you can see them under the antenna. You can change the camera angle by putting the screw through different holes to change to a few preset angles.
Like allways the Captain bringing the latest in the drone tech ,but why would anyone waste $100 on a drone that only goes around the block once and then crash if not landed in 2 minutes?
stupid question: can i use my dji googles v2 (the older one) with this drones? what controller do i need? i guess my dji controller v1 and v2 do not work.
This will be my first drone, I read there is no ELRS receiver, should I buy it separately? (and how to mount it?) I also need goggles and the radio transmitter, will the VR02 + lite radio 2 from BETAFPV be enough or should I buy the VR03 + lite radio 3? Thanks 🙏🏻
You simple order the drone with ELRS receiver (by default it comes with an ELRS receiver). Any ELRS radio transmitter will work as well as any ANALOG FPV goggles.
I'm getting a bleep from my analog module and the video goes a bit strange even at close range,and it doesn't seem to be able to go much distance,what could be causing this?
@CAPTAINDRONE798 it's none of what you say,i did turn on the telemetry tho in betaflight as it wasn't on when i first got it,I'm wondering if that caused it 🤔
Brother i am watching your videos since 3 years but now i have to purchase drone but in india i cant find best quality drone so i want to buy from you. Can you sell any piece of drone to me and i will pay the money for that please reply my comment so that i can confirm 🙏
Because they want a smaller whoop for flying freestyle indoors / a very small space at 25mW, and getting longer flight times and better flight dynamics as a result? 🤔

Betahueta. But it's flying!! Thank you for your review!
Please give me a drone brother i want it but i can't purchase cause of financial issues 😢😢
I have this done, and the pocket radiomaster... The air 65 flights perfect🎉 I took the decisions to buy them after watching your reviews
Thank you!
Good choice!

They are 23000 and 27000. Kv motors
Great review as always, Cap'n - enjoy the vacation time!
Love your honesty, thank you for popping out of vacation for this, hope the rest of it is awesome 🎉
i really wish i had one my parents would probably just think its a waste of money but i think this is better than my aquila 16
i like freestyling its kinda really cool
Great video, and great flying. Thank you Captain Steve.

You might want to mess with the expo level on your throttle. It really helps if the fine motor skills aren't like they used to be.
Good evening captain really nice drones cool set up. Enjoy the weekend

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you very much your help!
I'll watch your video!
I can’t believe how small these are. Looks like a lot of fun for a short time. Vacation time? 🤔 Enjoyed the demos and video👍👍
always looking forward for new reviews👍♥️
Always great information
At home, use the R:8 band/channel, it is outside the 2.4GHz channel of most Wi-Fi routers
I love BETAFPV nice 👍
awsome video Steve.
Thanks!
glad i got the race quad. but im swapping the motors out for Rcinpower 29000kv
MORE POWER !!!
Good 1 again Steve
I like the footage
2nd!! Dang these look fun!
I got a 2024 mobula 6 With this same style canopy. It died with very light use much faster than any drone I've ever owned. I lost video the first day out of the box.

Nice one
As someone who has built x4 5 inch racing drones, the Air 65 is turning me into a whoop boy 🙈
The AIR 65 is definitely a fun little drone
As always, great review!! Great video!
Thanks again!
With some "modifications", this whoop can be lightened to just over 14 grams. The 3 gram diet makes it really come alive!!!
Hi idol, I'm just looking at your drone because I don't have a drone yet 😢😢 ❤❤❤
Fun video ! 😃
Maybe one day digital cameras will weigh the same as analog.
Idk.
Thanks Steve !
For a freestyle or racing? beginner, I now only use the simulator,thanks
Is it true that the bearings are brass and not ball bearings? Cannot believe it
Hey Steve, it looks like when you turn left out of your street, the road is blocked off? if so, why and how come?
Roads are all open here
The motors have
Race: 27.000 KV , not 2700KV
Freestyle 23000 KV, not 2300
Is mobeetle6 better or air65
I’m new to this. Why did you attach the ELRS module to the pocket?
Because it is way more powerful and has much better antennas.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so that is in addition to the ELRS that is already incorporated within the Pocket radio. Ok got it & thx!
Though you had never flown a drone before
Is it also possible to install a tbs crossfire nano rx on that quad instead of the elrs receiver that it comes with?
If you know what you are doing, then Yes.
Do you charge the lipos to 4.2 as well?
Yes
Apologies if this seems an obvious question. I have the Aquila16, can I use the goggles and controller from this kit to fly this drone? I'm not up to speed on all the technical stuff with FPV drones just yet.
Goggles Yes, but controller… I’m not sure.
Can you tell me why you have the Nano attached to your Pocket radio? I would have thought you could fly both quad's with the Pocket radio.
I am not sure what you are asking. Can you ask it again and explain it more clearly.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, certainly. I see in the video you have the Radiomaster Nano on the back of the Radiomaster Pocket. The Radiomaster Pocket has ELRS so I was just asking why you have the Nano module on the back as well? Is it to improve signal strength?

Does this work with DJI FPV drone goggle and controller?
No, not at all
Does This drone work with my Aquilla FPV kit 😊😊
I believe so. If you are a newbie to how radios and receivers work and how to bind to the aquilla16 remote then watch this: ruclips.net/video/KXn1Q0KtH1M/видео.htmlsi=sHiuAwNOowMOxgBi
can i use 5.8GHz RHCP Antenna
If you can find such an antenna for this drone then sure
Is it possible to change the camera angle on this quad, like on the meteor65 or 75 ?
These lite canopies have a strip with multiple screw holes coming out the back of the canopy strip. 0:27 the quad on the left you can see them under the antenna.
You can change the camera angle by putting the screw through different holes to change to a few preset angles.
The angle is based on the canopy. Adjusting the canopy adjusts the angle.
Like allways the Captain bringing the latest in the drone tech ,but why would anyone waste $100 on a drone that only goes around the block once and then crash if not landed in 2 minutes?
FYI I believe there's something wrong with your referral link at least on the RUclips app on my phone appears to be chopped up
I’ll check it out
When will you review the air75 ?
I still haven't got past Dji Tello
Does it work with my frsky controller
Only if by magic your Frsky controller is ELRS 😀
$95 us
where can i buy this drone in europe
stupid question:
can i use my dji googles v2 (the older one) with this drones?
what controller do i need? i guess my dji controller v1 and v2 do not work.
DJI FPV goggles only work with DJI video transmission systems. You can buy an analog adapter for them, but it’s not worth the expense.
Race camera is a little better
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is tiny whoop and actual brand name or just a name for small fpv, or is it both, like it's a trade name that is now generic?
“Tinywhoop” is what super small FPV drones that look like these, with prop guards, are referred to
This will be my first drone,
I read there is no ELRS receiver, should I buy it separately? (and how to mount it?)
I also need goggles and the radio transmitter, will the VR02 + lite radio 2 from BETAFPV be enough or should I buy the VR03 + lite radio 3? Thanks 🙏🏻
You simple order the drone with ELRS receiver (by default it comes with an ELRS receiver). Any ELRS radio transmitter will work as well as any ANALOG FPV goggles.
Does it have flight modes?
You bet it does
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yey
day 1 of asking captain drone to review holystone hs175d
**23000kv & 27000kv
I'm getting a bleep from my analog module and the video goes a bit strange even at close range,and it doesn't seem to be able to go much distance,what could be causing this?
You are either on the wrong band/channel or your vtx is overheated or you crashed often pulled your antenna off (just snap it back on)
@CAPTAINDRONE798 it's none of what you say,i did turn on the telemetry tho in betaflight as it wasn't on when i first got it,I'm wondering if that caused it 🤔

Don't fly it near the fan of your CPU.
First
why would anyone want to fly a freestyle for 1:30 when you can get a 75mm with 550 battery and fly for 6/7 mins.. so stupid
Because they want a smaller whoop for flying freestyle indoors / a very small space at 25mW, and getting longer flight times and better flight dynamics as a result? 🤔
@@fullhamfpv better flight dynamics? :D sir, you are funny
