It's interesting how many drone experts since the DJI FPV have dealt with the topic as if it were a new breed.But I think DJI has awakened something in us, which has always been like a black spot in the corner of our eyes.And now we experienced drone pilots experience a "completely new way of flying". Although FPV is somehow different, and rightly so. It's something we've ignored for far too long. 😀👍
"Land tha drone!!!" I loved it. Same energy as getting a "Land the got damn plane!" from ATC as a landing clearance in Flight Sim. I was perusing and thinking of building my own first FPV drone, but this really does look like a lighter, cheaper, better digital VTX nugget than I can feasibly put together with aftermarket parts without months of research.
Good video for the upgrade. Now, let's walk it back...Can you tell us about the "batterized"(?) screwdriver? That would be a very cool accessory for my kit. Thanks for the video again.
What is the flight time compared to the small motors. They should have given a deal on the motors for the people that had bought one from them that had the small motors. I built my own with 1207 motors... Love it!
I just did this upgrade/build since the frame is on sale as well as a bunch of spare parts. I was surprised how much louder this configuration is. Overall an easy build for those who have the spare parts for it!
I built the v2 frame and v3 frame with the same motors and props on both models. The props were mounted correctly but the v3 frame is definitely much louder than the v2. Resonance is the most logical reason I can come up with but idk for sure.
You sir, is a very responsible flyer. Everyone should be aware of their surrounding while flying. Btw, I dont own a naked gopro, however a session is lying with me.. gonna try this setup with a session...
It's time to take on your hands the New 249g Hubsan Zino Mini Pro with front, back Down facing obstacle avoidance and so much more. Specwise it LOOKS AMAZING.....
Hi! I was wondering how you connect the goggle to the drone? Is there a transmitter or something? Same with the controller? Do you need to buy two transmitters to connect them to the drone? Could I connect DJI FPV Goggle V2 to Beta FPV 95x V3?
Seems more like the competition was too hot for betafpv. Most have 1404 motors in this class. Many complained about jello on the 95x. Some have it, not all. That was an other reason to upgrade. I wanted the cinelog 25 but now moved on to the babyhawk 2. Prop guards suck, unless you really intend to fly close to people. Just make it heavy and louder.
Apparently this upgrade also removes any trace of JELLO. I never experienced Jello in my vids before the upgrade, but I will say everything certainly looks smooth.
There is a new beginner kit coming out by BETAFPV that I recently reviewed. It is perfect for people who have never flown an FPV drone before. Whenever they launch the product, you'll see my review.
Will this carry an Insta360 X2? I have clients that want raw photos of events, and under new category one drone requirements for flying over people, it must all be under 250 grams and not lacerate skin on impact....
Hi Steve I am Canada and just bought a mavic zoom.. I was shocked to see that their batteries are like 200 dollars each. Is there a battery that's just as good but a little cheaper. What do I do????
I'm still waiting for my geprc 4k tiny whoop which I bought because of your video. Now --- this!!!! yay! need to save for this one. btw, which controller can you recommend? thanks!
The current BEST controller on the market (best value for price) is the RADIOMASTER TX16S or the JUMPER T18. You can also find less expensive controllers with the basic features.
I never touch PIDs on drones. Are you certain your props are on correct? That is the 100 most common mistake I keep seeing people make with this upgrade. Even when they are on wrong, the drone flies, but it has less power and more noisy.
I'm running the BetaFPV 95X V3 with the upgraded motors and with the 4K SMO camera and the footage is so shaky, its not usable. Yours looks like butter compared to mine. Any ideas?
Hey captain drones, I’m really struggling to decide on my first Cinewhoop, i don’t really want to buy different ones. Just want the right one to start with. I cant decide between this 95x v3, the new Pavo 30 or a Protek35. I plan to shoot indoors but also some sports higher speed footage that incorporates a little acro manoeuvres. What would you suggest please? Thanks you for your reviews as always!
😂😂 Your so cool, Steve, thanks for sharing. I have a Diatone Taycan 25 2.5" cinewhoop, i changed the motors and ducts around from pusher to normal. Haven't had a chance to fly it and test it out, do you think it will fly ok?
Do the new motors drain the battery faster too since they're bigger and more powerful? What was the flight time if your last flight where you crashed in the football field? Thanks again for this amazing review my Captain :)
If you've bougt the original 95X V3 with 1106 and have issues with vibrations and jello, it's possible to get a discount on the 1404 motors. I contacted BetaFPV, and after a few weeks, I got a 50% discount code for the new motors. Just be patient, they're not quick to respond. ;)
My upgrade kit came in last week but I haven’t done it yet. I’ve never swapped motors on anything, even though they are plug and play do you need to do any reconfiguration in BL heli ?
Did you over the fence twice? Once to place your camera at the right angle and then..... Twice to actually get footage of you going over the fence? lol
Hey Steve, how can i know the spinning direction of the motors when i put them in? Or do i have to check in BF after and maybe change spinning direction?
You are a smart man. I took a photo of the props (original) before replacing them. In addition I double checked in betaflight on the direction. The weird thing is that the drone will indeed fly if you put them on wrong, but it will have next to no lifting power. Just pay attention to where the curved end of the prop faces.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 hey Steve, thnx for answer but you got me wrong. I guess the motors itself have a spinning direction. 2 of the motors cw and 2 ccw. How can i know which 2 motors are the cw and which 2 are the ccw?
@@propsonfilming2151 Fastest way is to check the Configuration tab (image if props shows in upper left part of the page) in Betaflight. Otherwise a clockwise prop will have its props push air into the center of the drone and the prop blade will curve to the right when viewed from overhead. Best to think of prop direction as Props In and Props Out configurations where Props In has all props pushing air into the center of the drone and Props Out all props spin outward from the drone’s center. Finally to test, again in Betaflight on the Motors tab, you can spin up each motor individually to test direction.
Help, I installed the motors and now the quad barely flies, meaning I need almost half trottle to get of ground. I run stock setting in Betaflight. Any others having this issue?
Very nice review 😄. Hey did u have to figure or configure the motors direction on beheli o r does the FC figures it out automatic. Great video quality your channel like always 👍
@@ItzikShviro please note that plenty of people due as you have and then write me to say the drone won’t fly. Your props are on incorrectly. Change them around and it will fly. Don’t feel bad, plenty of people did the same thing. You’ll figure it out.
Hey Captain! Question i got mine today and everyone says i have to buy 450mah but you are flying with 650mah, its fine? I will fly more cinematic so i dont stress the motors haha.
The mAh of a battery is like a fuel tank in your car. The bigger the number the bigger the fuel tank, and the heavier the weight. So, if you use a 450 it is less weight and less flight time. A 650 is more weight and slightly more flight time.
I never had jello in the original so not something I was looking for. The website does say it gives a smoother flight and removes even the slightest jello, so for all those that had jello, I guess this is the fix.
@@MrJarrod How the heck did you get a twitch???? The motors are plug and play. Did you do something else in BETAFLIGHT? My PIDs, my RATES are all standard out of the box. If you messed yours up then you'll have to get a DUMP file from BETAFPV and load it back in.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks m8. I couldn't get it to attach in betaflight, I finally figured out a bunch of things. Like the pc is picky about usb cables. Then sometimes, just a reboot makes it connect when it stops working. You have taught me a ton. It has been a painful and expensive experience but your recommendations have helped a ton. I _REALLY_ appreciate you answered my question. I love this drone now. It is amazing. I purchased it based on your vide. Actually most of what I have bought has been based on your recommendations. Even the crown HD. Ohh and baby hawk. Ohh and DJI controller. Thanks so much for all your time and work.
Good you recovered it. What you need is a low batt alarm in your radio

Here you go... best Christmas present ever: ruclips.net/video/qZmfM23Ghos/видео.html
Steve is hosting an active competition between BetaFPV and GEPrc
Ha ha, it certainly appears that way.
What is the flight time compared to the small motors.
They should have given a deal on the motors for the people that had bought one from them that had the small motors.
I built my own with 1207 motors... Love it!
I think the flight time is slightly less (just my guess) but have not officially measured it.
I just did this upgrade/build since the frame is on sale as well as a bunch of spare parts. I was surprised how much louder this configuration is. Overall an easy build for those who have the spare parts for it!
Be certain you have the props on correctly. If on incorrectly, the drone is loud and underpowered.
I built the v2 frame and v3 frame with the same motors and props on both models. The props were mounted correctly but the v3 frame is definitely much louder than the v2. Resonance is the most logical reason I can come up with but idk for sure.
Man, that thing just screams...love it
Great video Steve, The upgrade looks easy and probably took less time than the retrieval of the drone did.
Yes, true :-)
Nice.. And thanks for the stickers I got it today
Great! Glad to hear they arrived.
Captain Drone could you review the best budget RTF fpv racing drone
I have reviewed a few already. I have a few more to review.
Ok Captain Drone
Cool upgrade
You sir, is a very responsible flyer. Everyone should be aware of their surrounding while flying.
Btw, I dont own a naked gopro, however a session is lying with me.. gonna try this setup with a session...
Nice upgrade. I especially like that fact that the motor upgrade is plug in play. This might be my next drone. Thanks for the upgrade review. 🙏👍
Yes, super simple upgrade.
I think building and upgrading is where the FPV Drones are more interesting than regular Camera Drones.
Thanks Captain
Very true. You can tweak and modify FPV drones in so many ways which means you're never stuck with the same drone.
Cool video Steve thanks for sharing.
Congo for 200K in advance Steve!!!
Best RUclipsr❤️
I wonder how this compares to latest version of Holybro Kopis
It's time to take on your hands the New 249g Hubsan Zino Mini Pro with front, back Down facing obstacle avoidance and so much more.
Specwise it LOOKS AMAZING.....
Steve, you are incredible. Thanks for this update for the V3. Just ordered.... Cheers
Enjoy!
Hi! I was wondering how you connect the goggle to the drone? Is there a transmitter or something? Same with the controller? Do you need to buy two transmitters to connect them to the drone? Could I connect DJI FPV Goggle V2 to Beta FPV 95x V3?
DJI FPV Goggles can only connect to FPV Drones with a CADDX VISTA or DJI AIR UNIT camera.
Love your instructional videos Steve! That fence didn't look like a lot of fun but you are always a good sport! Nice upgrade and review!
Thanks 👍

Captain drone #1 in the US!
Cool video Captain Drone
So you actually mean bump up the beeper .1 or .2 and have cell voltage part of osd
I'm a newbie to the FPV space, which goggles and controller would work well with this drone but also be somewhat affordable?
You could use something as inexpensive as this, as long as you put a FRSKY D16 receiver in the drone: ruclips.net/video/xGUkMIUL-V0/видео.html
Are they gonna have another version with the bigger motors so that having to upgrade the motors isn't needed
Yes. If you check the link below the vid, one of them takes you to the latest version of the 95X V3 with the upgraded motors and props.
I'm gonna have to try FPV
First!!!
Love your fpv drone reviews.. What will you recommend for beginners like me?
There is a new beginner kit coming out by BETAFPV that I recently reviewed. It is perfect for people who have never flown an FPV drone before. Whenever they launch the product, you'll see my review.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Can't wait 😊
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I guess that's why the older kits are out of stock.
Whow looks like a awsome park.great flying.
Thanks 👍
I was just looking at this camera talk about perfect timing with the review!
This is really nice Captain, hoping to get one soon
What is your recommendation 2.5inch cinewhoop that is good for beginners who will experience more crushes?
When you went under your truck 🛻 ..... my stomach turned
Will this carry an Insta360 X2? I have clients that want raw photos of events, and under new category one drone requirements for flying over people, it must all be under 250 grams and not lacerate skin on impact....
Yes, but I don't think it would fly very well.
Steve, your reviews are full of information, & fun to watch. thanks.
Glad you like them!
Hi Captain, could you review the moblite 7? Nice channel :)
class stuff captain.
Hi Steve I am Canada and just bought a mavic zoom.. I was shocked to see that their batteries are like 200 dollars each. Is there a battery that's just as good but a little cheaper. What do I do????
You are stuck with DJI Batteries and DJI parts. That is the world of DJI.
Why is my jjrc12 not able to connect to the app anymore help
I'm still waiting for my geprc 4k tiny whoop which I bought because of your video. Now --- this!!!! yay! need to save for this one. btw, which controller can you recommend? thanks!

That’s a 65 $70,000 obstacle under the truck jeep or jeep truck. Definitely a confident flyer.
Thanks 🙏
Have You changed any PID/RATES? I did this upgrade but having problem either with pro-wash or jello :)
Can You share Yours?
I never touch PIDs on drones. Are you certain your props are on correct? That is the 100 most common mistake I keep seeing people make with this upgrade. Even when they are on wrong, the drone flies, but it has less power and more noisy.
Really cool video Steve. I might need one of those. I have a few 550 mAh 3 s packs. Might be a good use for them with the stock motors that is
I'm running the BetaFPV 95X V3 with the upgraded motors and with the 4K SMO camera and the footage is so shaky, its not usable. Yours looks like butter compared to mine. Any ideas?
Sounds like your SMO 4K is not setup correctly
Oh my God your a great flyer under the truck wow!!!
Nice drone
Wow the video looks awesome 😎, it's a long range drone?
No, not this model. It flies much too low to the ground (that is its intended purpose).
Hey captain drones, I’m really struggling to decide on my first Cinewhoop, i don’t really want to buy different ones. Just want the right one to start with.

Almost tempts me to get into FPV. Unfortunately, I’m living in a no fly area. I can’t even start up my Mavic.
Hi what I want to know is where did u get those tools ..i need some of those lol...faster in removing the screws
The tool in the video is here: ruclips.net/video/qZmfM23Ghos/видео.html
Thank you very much I've been looking for something like this ☺️
Tell them to build it like that as an option?
😂😂 Your so cool, Steve, thanks for sharing.
I have a Diatone Taycan 25 2.5" cinewhoop, i changed the motors and ducts around from pusher to normal. Haven't had a chance to fly it and test it out, do you think it will fly ok?
Perhaps. Don't forgot to also reverse the props.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i did and i also had to change motor directions since they were facing down so they would spin correctly. 😎
Good video Steve.
Thanks 👍
Flight time decreased with the new motor?
My guess is yes due to weight, but I could not tell.
Do the new motors drain the battery faster too since they're bigger and more powerful? What was the flight time if your last flight where you crashed in the football field? Thanks again for this amazing review my Captain :)
I would guess yes, but in my tests I honestly didn't notice too much noticeable difference because I was enjoying the increase speed and upward power.

Hi sir! Just wanna ask, wat battery do you advice for the motor upgrade amd how many minutes would it last. Thanks
I still use the same battery that I used in the review video
Another question sir...😄 was the flight time reduced with bigger motors sir? About how many minutes sir? Thank you sir...
@@janrichardreyes9636 I did not notice a noticeable flight time difference

No configuration required.
Flies better with the new 5 blade props.
Hi Steve, WoW this is great, I'm going to order one now and as always, great video.

How to fix jello camera fpv ?
Just stop the camera from shaking.
Would speed be a good thing for indoor cinema footage🤔
You are crazy! Wow!
Can you put GPS on this quad?
It is an FPV Quad, so you certainly could modify it as much as you like.
Did that change the sound very much
Slightly... but both sound like vacuum cleaners flying through the air.
I agree!
Hey Steve,“Another Great Video”
By the way, hows the flight time with the new more powerful motors?
My guess is it would be slightly less, however I did not do a direct comparison.
Did the Jello in the FPV camera go away.
I never had jello in the original so not something I was looking for. The website does say it gives a smoother flight and removes even the slightest jello, so for all those that had jello, I guess this is the fix.
