Finally, Emax's tinyhawk III! Its superb that they made the new version in a short period of time! As Tinyhawk II is not that old. Their RTF kits are amazing and the tinyhawks' mass is same as always... Negligible like one is holding a paper! Controller is really beautiful... And the goggles are also mind blowing!!! Never knew that it was that good. Looks really stable indoors... I like these types of drones which are really small amazing cinewhoops, which are durable, that can do impressive and astonishing cool things and also costs not much!
Easily one of the best RTF starter kits you've reviewed on this channel. I'm impressed that the goggles still have some utility even if you want to purchase a more advanced set to replace them. Only other goggles I know that can do that would be Eachine's EV800D and the FXT Viper. Still not quite as impressive as the Novice IV kit, but this is roughly half the price so that's something to consider. Thanks for the great review as always!
I just ordered one of these, an upgrade from my Makerfire Micro FPV Shark drone. Love that little blue bugger but I think this'll be a great upgrade. Thanks for the review!
Best review I've seen so far for a fpv beginner. If I order it now from banggood. I might get it by spring here in the US. I wish Amazon would have these. Thanks Cap't!!
i think this is the best beginner kit shown to date, especially because there is a screen and no need to have a cell phone, just because of that i'd consider it even not being a beginner
I just ordered mine. I had a wonderful time with my Hubsan Zino GPS drone but now it's time to start doing stunt FPV. I could have the drone tomorrow in another store if I want, however one store is closed for 2 weeks and they give 15% discount on all orders while closed. I'm a patient man.
@L0wSkiller It's really really hard. So hard that I've sold it and bought the (more expensive) DJF FPV. Because that one has a GPS hover mode. It's possible but very hard with the tiny hawk.
Love my tinyhawk II.. this seems to have a lil better camera and less kV motors less power & longer flight time.. outside seems the same. Looks tiny bit different. I use my old tinyhawk ii rtf case for x9 lite transmitter and 03o goggles
So I just got my fix for glasses yesterday. I own the BetaFPV Cetus Lite kit (got it about a week ago) I tried using Armless reading glasses with the Cetus goggles. they sort of worked but after a few minutes they tended (about 50% of the time) to tilt on my nose inside the goggles. sometimes falling off entirely. my fix was to buy a comfort kit for a VR headset (Quest 2) by KIWI. its a padded face pad with glasses extension for VR goggles($19.99). I Duct taped them on. they hold solid. my regular glasses fit inside and the FPV goggles are very comfy. I'm hoping when upgrading to a bigger drone kit (I'm not a serious FPVer so my next kit will probably be the E_MAX EAZY Pilot Pro) that they will fit that as well.
Love my TH3. The dogs snatched it out of the air a few too many times and the frame is cracked in several places. I like to fly it outdoors in a stiff gusty breeze. It shimmies when the wind kicks up because of the broken frame, but it still flies great. Reminds me of the movie "Batteries Not Included" where the heroic little injured drone was trying to fly. Probably will get another frame for it, but have been looking for something similar in an ARF. I've been watching your beginner videos but you are so enthusiastic, it is hard to make a decision based on your glowing reviews.
Hello so I got the emax tinyhawk 3 rtf kit just like this one the first day I got it it would not start. I'm pressing the arm button and nothing is happening is there a way to fix this without using beta flight
This is awesome! I had to sell all my FPV gear last summer to help start my business. I have been sad ever since, so this will be a great kit to get back into it!
14:31 -Would it be a problem if I used 450mAh (HV 4.35V) battery, instead of the 450mAh (HV 3.8V) like you showed? I want to get extra batteries for it.
I was looking at the BETAFPV Cetus Lite FPV Drone after your review, but now I'm looking at this Tiny Hawk 3.... I love your enthusiasm. I'm just looking for a drone to mess around with inside my house. not sure I won't have motion sickness with FPV. I get a little VR sickness with my VR headset when doing Flight sims or Roller Coasters sims. but only when not looking straight ahead when doing those sims (ie. if I turn my head while flying a plane to watch an enemy plane go down or look to the side when on a Roller Coaster to watch scenery go by). if I look straight ahead my stomach is fine.
I bought the Betafpv Cetus lite. came today. "OMG that thing is tiny!" (first thoughts upon opening the box). I charged everything. was so happy the batteries only take 20 minutes to charge. never having flown anything RC before I was very careful with my first take off from my coffee table. not sure why but the thing tends to "jump" into the air. after hours of practice, it still jumps into the air. by jump I mean about 6" from resting to airborne. I thought I saw you do a smooth take off. anyway, the "jump" doesn't bother me that much. flying around the house minus the goggles was fun! after I was able to complete a circuit of my living room and kitchen several times without getting confused as to what joystick does what I decided to try the Goggles. I wear glasses but I have a pair of Arm less reading glasses ($9.99 Amazon) that clip onto my nose. they worked great! fit right into the headset. I was able to fly around the same living room and kitchen. it was a blast of a day! get the oval arm less reading glasses not the rectangle ones. THANKS for your review. I think I'm on my way to a new hobby.
its the next day, I flew it around the house last night for awhile, went to bed. got up this morning and went to get my new "Toy". I found that at some point last night I sort of "bent" one of the batteries. possibly in one of my many crashes last night. the battery still works, still takes a charge and still puts out a charge. so I'll continue to use it. thank god the batteries are so cheap! this thing really is fun. is it $153.00 fun? don't know yet. side note: yesterday my German Shepherd/Retriever was very wary of the drone and didn't want to be in the same room with it. this morning all the doors out of my living room are closed (because peeps are sleeping) so she just layed at my feet. that is until I lost control and almost hit my head with it. got control inches from my head. and as I was flying away, all of a sudden the dog went laying to a full jump and tried to take it out of the air. LOL. she was sort of fine with until she saw it "attack" me, or "threaten" me. (8 batteries for $40.00, Amazon, not bad).
Am I understanding correctly that the only video you can record with this one over say a GEPRC TinyGO 4K, is the analog video that the goggles see? I feel like thats a huge difference between the two if so. Im struggling between them both right now and cannot make up my mind!
Well… First of all … as a beginner myself… I call it Fascinating 😜… as far as the drone itself and the whole kit is concerned… impressive 👍 Here in Germany only the „old“ version no.2 is available… so I guess I wait 🙏🏻 Stay safe everybody…👋
what's happen Steven just want thank you i just flew my dji Mavic Air 2 I'm blown away thank you for helping me decide through your video review thank you sir again
All was well with my tinyhawk 3 RTF, but suddenly the controls got reversed, throttle on the right. Can't figure out how to fix it, or how I broke it. I didn't mess around with Betaflight. Any ideas? Don't see anything in the manual.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, I suspect the channel switched for the throttle somehow. Very annoying. Fixed it in Betaflight, but then the transmitter failed. Wouldn't charge. Sent it back.
Hiw do you record I press the record button once I'm done flying I take it out and then put the SD into an adapter and the adapter in my DVD player and it sais this devise is empty
If you don't see the RECORD red dot in your goggles then it probably is not recording which means you more than likely stuck an unreadable card in the unit like one that is WAY TOO BIG in size or formatted in a way that only your computer can read.
Yup, EMAX wanted to launch this drone today and anyone who received an advanced copy was only permitted to post their reviews all at the same time. Same thing DJI does.
No Beginner here I’m just starting over🧐😎. Captain if you confirm the controller will bind with a FRS D8 please let me know. Another very informative video. Thanks Captain
The manual says it defaults to D8 mode (out of the box) which means it should bind to Frsky D8 receivers. The online manual explains how to switch it to D16 mode for binding to such receivers.
so I got this drone but the beeper doesn't work and it won't show the battery voltage on the screen it says zero even when I fly is there a way to fix that
I bought a couple of these for me and my neighbor. How do we get them on separate channels so we don't get interference while flying next to each other?
Are you saying they are on the same controller frequency (like you move a joystick and both drones move)? That would be odd. Now if you mean the same video frequency then that is normal and it is up to one of you to change that on the drone & goggles.
If you are a beginner then stick with something you can use in your house as well as outside, and something that you don't mind destroying, because as a newbie, you'll destroy your FPV drone within a day or two unless you have some skills. Another option to consider is the BETAFPV CETUS PRO or CETUS X
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you! I'm trying to make a gift to my brother. He's flown 2 drones but not a lot. He has crashed both so I'm trying to find something that will take a beating and not cheap quality. He flies outdoors. I'll take a look!
hello it's me again so I turned the drone on and set it on the table for a couple min then it started beeping so i unplugged it then plugged it back in and the screen went black I still see the battery voltage and all that stuff but there is no picture what do I do
Your battery needs to be recharged. Also NEVER leave the battery connected to the drone for very long when not flying as the VTX gets very hot and overheats.
Nice video cap, wow all the brands that make rtf fpv kit is getting more interesting Hey there is a new version of fimi x8 2022 that has 1/2 inch sensor, are you going to review it?
Yes. Unfortunately flying DJI drones gives you bad habits and poor hand/eye coordination, so you'd certainly have a learning curve both in learning how to fly a drone and understanding how the RC hobby works. Remember, DJI drones, as well as AUTEL and Hubsan are designed for beginners with zero experience... pull them off the shelf of the store, charge the batteries and go fly. The FPV hobby is like trying to drive a race motorcycle with no hands.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 lol ok!!! I was excited by the price and all the things that came with it... I can tell you I paid much more for my drone and FPV goggles!!! Plus you wouldn't want to crash my drone like that lol!!! I like that you could fly it in the house I live in Michigan would love that option!!! Well I'm going to have to pick one up and improve on my hand eye coordination... Maybe get rid of my bad DJI habits lol!!!
I am coming from RC Cars I wonder with all those beginnen Kits, what parts of it can i use when start to Upgrade...is the Radio ok for that the goggles, etc looks to me like a very overheated market where you can sell any bullshit...so if I buy that kit, and and I want to build a drone by myself, or if I buy another drone, can i use goggles and radio? Isnt that the most important thing for a starter kit? So i am reading through the comments the Radio is ok but better gogglles
If you’re like me you started in the RC Car hobby with a crap car, controller and battery charger. Hopefully you saw the light and bought yourself a pile of Arrma and Traxxas vehicles as well as a rugged Spektrum controller, and let’s not forgot the massive wattage battery charger. So if you were deep into the RC car hobby you owned quality gear. The same is true in the FPV hobby. Everyone in the FPV drone hobby that were not previously into RC planes, had to start with the basics. The radio in this kit will bind with D8 and D16 Frsky receivers, so whatever drone you get you just have to ensure the receiver matches. The goggles work with any analog drone. Since you are a newbie you’re probably gonna destroy everything learning to fly, so like all of us who began with zero abilities, expect to either give up or stay in the hobby and buy drones that you can repair and fly.
Hi! Quick question, can i bind my e8 transmitter to the mobula 6 or 7 ? If not what other happymodel tiny whoops is the e8 transmitter compatible?(newbie😅)
In the FOV Drone hobby it works like this. If you own a transmitter such as your E8, then you must find out what language it uses (probably Frsky D8 or D16 or if super current then ELRS. Once you know that, then you can BIND it to any FPV Drone that also speaks the same language.
Anyone having trouble binding the bnf tinyhawk 3 to a radiomaster tx12? I've tried binding with the cli in betaflight and also by pressing the button. I've got my tx12 set to frsky d subtype d8.
I honestly don’t know because with DJI it is just a simple software setting adjustment for a GPS drone where both sticks are centered. In the FPV hobby the left (throttle) joystick is not centered. See if you can download the manual
Thanks for another great video. A few years ago (🤔actually many years ago😟) I used to fly radio controlled model aeroplanes, panic biplanes to be precise. They were aerobatic planes fitted with fast petrol engines. I would practise aerobatics and have dog fights with other flyers using paper streamers attached to the planes (chew up you opponents streamer with your prop) Anyway with that model flying experience behind me do you think I would be OK with a drone or would I struggle, should I be looking at something like this as a starter or something else. Your opinion would be great, thank you. Dang how I wish mini cameras had been available back then.
I was never going to be able to use these goggles I am old and need reading glasses now. I got a digiadapter and a rapid fire module today and am now flying my tinyhawk 3 using my dji v2 goggles. 🙂😄😁😀
Thank you for great review. Do you happen to know if the Tx (E8?) is Mac compatible? Particularly for running simulator, but also to modify settings in Beta. Thanks if anyone knows the answer....
I just got the Tinyhawk3 to practice indoors, I'm trying to bind it to my E6 transmitter that I got from the Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle RTF kit but for whatever reason it will not bind. They are both FrSky D8 so it should work. Anyone any ideas or like a specific step-by-step guide? I'm new into this hobby and can't seem to find clear instructions on this on any emax guide, forum or so.
You’ll have to ask Emax for the binding steps. There is a certain way to put the drone in bind mode and a certain way to put the controller in bind mode. Once you have that then they should bind.
Did they revise the flight controller? Mine hit the ground after 3 flights (experienced airplane/quad flyer) and it wouldn't connect to betaflight again.. ive read numerous accounts if this. Now I'm scared to try another one.
Hello, I have this kit but I would like a low cost 4 or 5 inch freestyle drone, if possible I would like to take advantage of the radio and the glasses, is there any way? Which do you recommend? I'm from Brazil! Friendly hug
The radio might work with the 5” Emax drones. You will have to look at the instructions to see how to put the radio in bind mode and check what receivers it can bind to. The goggles will work with any analog FPV drone. If you have learned how to fly the EMAX FPV drone without crashing, then if I were you I’d buy a 4-in-1 Radiomaster radio like a TX16s or Zorro or TX12. All 5” FPV drones are great so get one that you can afford. Also if you wish to fly father away from yourself you will need new FPV goggles.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I just hit him really tight, if I'm in I have enough control. Here in Brazil things are very expensive, but I will try to invest in other equipment and abandon this kit.
Hi Captain drone hope all is well, would like your opinion on what Fpv google are best to buy. I have heard that the fat shark dominator hdo are the way to go.
The FATSHARKS I use in every video (HDO2) are the best on the market but very expensive, and they don't come with a video receiver, you have to purchase that separately. I use the RAPID FIRE system.
Normally if a controller works with flight sims I show it in the video. If you did not see me show it working with a flight sim then it means when the review was made, the controller did not work with flight sims.
Hi ! As soon as I watched your video on the Emax Tinyhawk III, I purchased it and Subscribed to your Channel ! As I was trying to verify the binding I took the Canopy screws out in order to reach the Binding Button which is deep inside the Camera Canopy or Housing. After I verified the binding to my satisfaction I noticed a LOOSE RED CABLE ( measures about 1 - 1 1/2 inches long )on the rear right of the circuit board and it is soldered to a point on the Board which reads 5 V. I am not sure if this RED CABLE was already loose or if it goes to a certain soldering spot or if it is a convenient 5V output to be used on some modification...... I will like to know if your Emax Tinyhawk III has this loose cable of if it came loose when I was doing the binding... if it goes somewhere, where is it supposed to go ? The loose end show no wire coming out of it or any solder attached. Please help me out ! Thank you !
Hi Cap, Great vids and reviews!! Torn between TH3 and TinyGo, which do you recommend for beginners like me that wants to start on RTF kits? Both drones are almost in the same price point from where I live. Or should I go and buy separate goggles, radio & drone (eyeing on the Mobula6 or Eachine Trashcan) Thanks Cap!
Finally, Emax's tinyhawk III!
Its superb that they made the new version in a short period of time!
As Tinyhawk II is not that old.
Their RTF kits are amazing and the tinyhawks' mass is same as always...

It should work perfectly out of the box. Are you sure you have your JOYSTICK on the left all the way down, and have you read the instructions fully?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 wow thank you, it works I did not know that you have to keep the left stick down
@@dmitriyivanov4368 Yes in the FPV hobby, for safety reasons, a drone won’t arm if the throttle is above zero.

The video flickers and freezes at times as seen, is this how the video recording will playback .
Yes, that is analog FPV. Your brain does not notice it when you fly since you are more concentrating on where you are flying.
I still think that this review is probably one of the best reviews on this kit.
Thank you!
how much range do you usually get with it? i can barely get 50 meters without it losing signal is that normal?
If outdoors and no interference, with a direct line of site, expect 100 meters.

Looks awesome. Might buy one for Christmas!
Can you use a Tinyhawk 3 Remote and goggles with the bind and fly tiny hawk 2 freestyle?
Probably, but I've never tried it
what's the best antenna upgrade I can get for the googles
Awesome thanks, I am looking to get into FPV and this would be perfect
Do it mate, it’s so immersive it’s incredible 👍🤜🏻🤛🏻
Nice video cap, wow all the brands that make rtf fpv kit is getting more interesting
Hey there is a new version of fimi x8 2022 that has 1/2 inch sensor, are you going to review it?
I did tell the company I would review it, but have not seen it.
Is this little fpv capable of carrying an Insta or a small cam?
Not really
I have DJI phantom 4 pro and I've noticed FPV drone have a different throttle... Is this a giant learning cure compared to the DJI?
Yes. Unfortunately flying DJI drones gives you bad habits and poor hand/eye coordination, so you'd certainly have a learning curve both in learning how to fly a drone and understanding how the RC hobby works. Remember, DJI drones, as well as AUTEL and Hubsan are designed for beginners with zero experience... pull them off the shelf of the store, charge the batteries and go fly. The FPV hobby is like trying to drive a race motorcycle with no hands.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 lol ok!!! I was excited by the price and all the things that came with it... I can tell you I paid much more for my drone and FPV goggles!!! Plus you wouldn't want to crash my drone like that lol!!! I like that you could fly it in the house I live in Michigan would love that option!!! Well I'm going to have to pick one up and improve on my hand eye coordination... Maybe get rid of my bad DJI habits lol!!!
I am coming from RC Cars I wonder with all those beginnen Kits, what parts of it can i use when start to Upgrade...is the Radio ok for that the goggles, etc looks to me like a very overheated market where you can sell any bullshit...so if I buy that kit, and and I want to build a drone by myself, or if I buy another drone, can i use goggles and radio? Isnt that the most important thing for a starter kit? So i am reading through the comments the Radio is ok but better gogglles
If you’re like me you started in the RC Car hobby with a crap car, controller and battery charger. Hopefully you saw the light and bought yourself a pile of Arrma and Traxxas vehicles as well as a rugged Spektrum controller, and let’s not forgot the massive wattage battery charger. So if you were deep into the RC car hobby you owned quality gear. The same is true in the FPV hobby. Everyone in the FPV drone hobby that were not previously into RC planes, had to start with the basics. The radio in this kit will bind with D8 and D16 Frsky receivers, so whatever drone you get you just have to ensure the receiver matches. The goggles work with any analog drone. Since you are a newbie you’re probably gonna destroy everything learning to fly, so like all of us who began with zero abilities, expect to either give up or stay in the hobby and buy drones that you can repair and fly.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thx
Can two head sets be used with one drone? I would like to give a tour to several people in real time with a drone. Will TIny Hawk III support that?
Yes. When you fly an Analog FPV drone there is no limit to the number of people that can tune into the signal.
Hi! Quick question, can i bind my e8 transmitter to the mobula 6 or 7 ? If not what other happymodel tiny whoops is the e8 transmitter compatible?(newbie😅)
In the FOV Drone hobby it works like this. If you own a transmitter such as your E8, then you must find out what language it uses (probably Frsky D8 or D16 or if super current then ELRS. Once you know that, then you can BIND it to any FPV Drone that also speaks the same language.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798thank you🥰
Detachable display idms great
Not sure if you have a video for this already, but I would be curious to know how you compare this to the GepRC TinyGo RTF
The Tinygo is an older drone with a selling feature of an onboard DVR to film.
Try disarming in the air and arm it back
What ever happened to part 4 of the evolve drone?
I'm so far behind in product reviews, that it has been put on the shelf. Hopefully I have time to get to it this week.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ok boss thanks much.yeah I understand the weather isn't getting much better.next comes the snow
How about this compare with Cetus Pro FPV Kit😁
Nice flying Captain Drone and very educational, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you still run it with a 2s?
Not sure
Anyone having trouble binding the bnf tinyhawk 3 to a radiomaster tx12? I've tried binding with the cli in betaflight and also by pressing the button. I've got my tx12 set to frsky d subtype d8.
Which is better, the tinyhawk 3 or the tinygo 4k?
What other googles can be used with this and how do you hook them up?
Any ANALOG googles can be used. You just tune into the channel like an old school radio.
Can I just buy the controller and goggles and use it with my Tinyhawk II?
Probably but it may not be cost effective
great video is it possible to fly in stick mode 3 on this drone? Been wanting to try FPV and unfortunately fly mode 3 on DJI. Thanks
I honestly don’t know because with DJI it is just a simple software setting adjustment for a GPS drone where both sticks are centered. In the FPV hobby the left (throttle) joystick is not centered. See if you can download the manual
Which microSD card will work?
Any class 10 card that is 8, 16, 32 gigs
Hello is this kit better than the Cetus Pro kit?
What do I choose? This or the cetus fpv pro ?
i was wondering what type of goggles are capable with the drone and also glasses friendly?
For FPV goggles any Analog goggles will work. As for glasses, it is hit and Miss due to the size of your head and size of glasses you wear.
Is this kit better than the Cetus pro kit
When do we get to see Miss captain drone
She was in my older videos from several years ago when we were younger. You can see her in this one: ruclips.net/video/EqmSYiihZ9k/видео.html
She looks like a vary nice copilot, loved the video
I still use my emax tiny hawk 1 all the time :) awesome little drones
How long is average flight time before it dies ?
I like the simplicity. But as a beginner, I'll be starting out with digital because like the clearer image.
Thanks for another great video.
A few years ago (🤔actually many years ago😟) I used to fly radio controlled model aeroplanes, panic biplanes to be precise. They were aerobatic planes fitted with fast petrol engines. I would practise aerobatics and have dog fights with other flyers using paper streamers attached to the planes (chew up you opponents streamer with your prop) Anyway with that model flying experience behind me do you think I would be OK with a drone or would I struggle, should I be looking at something like this as a starter or something else. Your opinion would be great, thank you. Dang how I wish mini cameras had been available back then.
Emax Tinyhawk 3 Freestyle RTF kit? Please Emax!
Could the heads up display and controller work with other drones?
I believe it works with all drones that have a D8 or D16 receiver in them that you can bind to.
Do you know if the controller is compatible with drone simulator?
Yes it works with simulators
I was never going to be able to use these goggles I am old and need reading glasses now. I got a digiadapter and a rapid fire module today and am now flying my tinyhawk 3 using my dji v2 goggles. 🙂😄😁😀
Thank you for great review. Do you happen to know if the Tx (E8?) is Mac compatible? Particularly for running simulator, but also to modify settings in Beta. Thanks if anyone knows the answer....
I just got the Tinyhawk3 to practice indoors, I'm trying to bind it to my E6 transmitter that I got from the Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle RTF kit but for whatever reason it will not bind. They are both FrSky D8 so it should work. Anyone any ideas or like a specific step-by-step guide? I'm new into this hobby and can't seem to find clear instructions on this on any emax guide, forum or so.
You’ll have to ask Emax for the binding steps. There is a certain way to put the drone in bind mode and a certain way to put the controller in bind mode. Once you have that then they should bind.
Also my screen just went blue how do I fix it
Blue just means no signal, which then means you may have it switched to AV external video or something. You'll figure it out.
That’s awesome! Christmas list!!!!!
You can fly 2s on the th3 aswell. No one on youtube has done it
It won’t turtle. Is that something I have to enable??
If you can't get it to turtle, then you are doing the sequence incorrectly.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Show me how to do like you.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Is there a video for Tinyhawk 3 Turtle Mode you can direct me to? Thanks.
Are the goggles and controller for this compatible with the Tinyhawk 2 freestyle?
Goggles yes. Controller.... probably, but I've never tried it.
Question for you, Captain: Do most FPV radios allow for stick mode 3? As I lefty I've flown mode 3 since I began my drone journey.
I would think YES since most radios can be configured to any Mode both physically and in the radio settings.
Did they revise the flight controller? Mine hit the ground after 3 flights (experienced airplane/quad flyer) and it wouldn't connect to betaflight again.. ive read numerous accounts if this. Now I'm scared to try another one.
That is a question for EMAX.
Hello, I have this kit but I would like a low cost 4 or 5 inch freestyle drone, if possible I would like to take advantage of the radio and the glasses, is there any way? Which do you recommend? I'm from Brazil! Friendly hug
The radio might work with the 5” Emax drones. You will have to look at the instructions to see how to put the radio in bind mode and check what receivers it can bind to. The goggles will work with any analog FPV drone.
If you have learned how to fly the EMAX FPV drone without crashing, then if I were you I’d buy a 4-in-1 Radiomaster radio like a TX16s or Zorro or TX12. All 5” FPV drones are great so get one that you can afford. Also if you wish to fly father away from yourself you will need new FPV goggles.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798
I just hit him really tight, if I'm in I have enough control. Here in Brazil things are very expensive, but I will try to invest in other equipment and abandon this kit.
Which is better for first fpv? GEPRC TinyGO Racing FPV or the new tinyhawk 3?
You saw the Tinyhawk 3 and detachable display... you decide.
Can the Tiny Hawk 3 controller bind with the Tiny Hawk freestyle drone?
Probably, I think the freestyle is a FRSKY D8 so it probably would work
Hi Captain drone hope all is well, would like your opinion on what Fpv google are best to buy. I have heard that the fat shark dominator hdo are the way to go.
The FATSHARKS I use in every video (HDO2) are the best on the market but very expensive, and they don't come with a video receiver, you have to purchase that separately. I use the RAPID FIRE system.
Thank you for recommending this one
Qual a velocidade máxima ? E distância ??
Is the controller compatible with fpv simulators?
Normally if a controller works with flight sims I show it in the video. If you did not see me show it working with a flight sim then it means when the review was made, the controller did not work with flight sims.
How did you bind it?
It comes bound to the controller from the factory
Doesn't the connection swivel around ?
What do you mean “connection swivel around” ???
Are there any more upcoming RTF kit videos? I'm loving them
Yes, two more.
Brilliant 👏
Hi ! As soon as I watched your video on the Emax Tinyhawk III, I purchased it and Subscribed to your Channel ! As I was trying to verify the binding I took the Canopy screws out in order to reach the Binding Button which is deep inside the Camera Canopy or Housing. After I verified the binding to my satisfaction I noticed a LOOSE RED CABLE ( measures about 1 - 1 1/2 inches long )on the rear right of the circuit board and it is soldered to a point on the Board which reads 5 V. I am not sure if this RED CABLE was already loose or if it goes to a certain soldering spot or if it is a convenient 5V output to be used on some modification...... I will like to know if your Emax Tinyhawk III has this loose cable of if it came loose when I was doing the binding... if it goes somewhere, where is it supposed to go ? The loose end show no wire coming out of it or any solder attached. Please help me out ! Thank you !
That is probably your antenna
Hi Cap,
Great vids and reviews!!
Torn between TH3 and TinyGo, which do you recommend for beginners like me that wants to start on RTF kits? Both drones are almost in the same price point from where I live.
Or should I go and buy separate goggles, radio & drone (eyeing on the Mobula6 or Eachine Trashcan)
Thanks Cap!
Tiny Hawk 3 has a drone that can be smashed around and still survive. All beginners in the FPV hobby crash their drones a heck of alot.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for the reply Cap, you're awesome. I'll definitely consider this!
Hi,
I have a question.
I want to start with a FPV drone beginner.
I doubt to buy the tinyhawk III or the geprc Tiny go.
What should you buy?
Thanks
Buy the one you can afford because as you learn to fly you are going to destroy it.
