- At $69.99 how good or how bad can it be? It does have little extras like leds on the arms and 200mw vtx.

What do you think? Worth $70? If it were $90 what would you change for the extra $20?
BabyApe 3 bit.ly/3FVL1QG
DarwinFPV AliExpress bit.ly/3p8sWct
could be wrong but i'm pretty certain those are zerotech dobby motors ;) very sure looking at the dobby motors in my hands right now :) same size same kv makes me wonder what a build with dobby props and motors would fly like :D erm coupla weeks might have that video up on my channel lol
The esc I would change
Camera with a wider field of view, and 1200tvl.
the babyhawk motors dont have long enough wires to reach the 4in one so they used those led/racewire to make use of them, If I remember correctly the bayhawk was using individual esc's they only scary thing is those 1104 were for 2.3in props and 2S i know people did run the babyhawk on 3s but not 3in props dont know if they will burn out...maybe..... oh and those 1104's used special non standard screw pattern so cant use prop screws if there loose too so meh i dunno if its a big deal to everyone but a few down sides
@@Dread-I-Productions I am not familiar with that brand name. Very well could be.
I like this quad, looks like a pretty cool little flyer. This comes at a perfect time too, when prices in the FPV world are getting so expensive that getting a new quad, starts to look hopeless. Thanks for a great review.
Awesome review, as usual Nick!
Looks like a fantastic little budget ripper! For $70 you can’t beat it! It would certainly get you started, if you can manage not to crash it too hard.
DarwinFPV is like the new Eachine. That AIO alone is worth a second look and the frame is actually pretty well designed with replaceable arms. They should find some 1404s and offer a 3.5" too.
For the price it appears pretty good. It might be a good base to slowly upgrade and end up with a really fun quad. Im gona keep my eye on how this one does over time. Great review 👍👍
Thanks Nick!
LEDs/Bling sets them apart! Besides those boards cost pennies, and the labor.....not much more🙄
Awesome review, loving these guys and their super cheap but awesome quality. The 129 is my favorite atm.. absolutely amazing
Hi Nick Great video and review of the Darwin Babyape 3. WoW ! I have not seen any 3in quad for that price for a long time. Those motors remind me of KingKong motors back when I started. I just like to see how they hold up. Thanks again for the video and information.
Definitely worth 70 looks fantastic 👌 the winter coming 🌧 🌦 🌂 ⛈ ☔ 🌩 probably pick one up and try out the Conformal Coating..nice review nick 🥂 😎
I liked this quad and review so much, I had to watch it twice. I'm also going to share it with friends and family.
I have the darwin79 (4s 3"). It will fly and it works for having a drone I can experiment with and do more risky maneuvers. Comparing to a babyhawk II it doesn't fly nearly as well, but like I said if it gets stuck in a tree or smashed on concrete I'm not as worried. I got it when it first came out for like 80 bucks and it's a nice backup to have.
Motors look like the old emax babyhawk ones. At that price point worth it just for parts. Also love your reveiws, keep up the great work. X
This is awesome. I feel like this will help get more people into fpv. 🥳
What an awesome little unit for the price, outstanding.
Wow... Pretty impressive little quad, Nick! 😮
I really liked the frame! Maybe it should be good for a build... With 1303 motors, maybe a RunCam Split 4... Who knows. 😬
Anyway, fantastic flying and review as always! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Normally I don’t watch quad reviews any more. But what makes this drone very interesting is the price. At $69 i don’t have to risk my life to climb 30m tall trees or invest 2h into rescue missions. And what i really love is that you can buy spare arms. Whats the reason of independent arms when you can’t buy them even for much more expensive drones? I didn’t expect that for that price.
love this three inch! great price great flying and Great Review
I just bought the pro version works pretty good flysky receiver in it love the power for this little thing on 3s
Thank you Nick! Thank you for your comment on BabyAPE. If you have better suggestions for improvement, I hope you can tell me. We are willing to make it a perfect 3", and we will listen to everyone's suggestions.
use runcam nano 3 camera. if you need camera with screws then use caddx ant lite. don't go cheaper than those two cameras. cheap cameras but not usable are a waste of money.
use these silver motors with your 3" toothpick frame. 3" or 2.5" props, it will be lighter and faster.
I do suggest on a 3inch prop to run a 120x or 130x sized motor. A camera that is equivalent to the caddx ant or runcam nano...the caddx baby ratel 2 is a very good micro camera that retails for $25, this is my go to camera for micros. 200mw vtx is largely suffcient, but more mw will a benefit.
list the frames on aliexpress please :) we will built configurations and betaflight setups for you to copy :)
I love the price. Especially with 1103's. Looks like I found a new micro. Great video, tons of info. I'll let you know how camera swap works. Hopefully no jello seems like nylon nuts will work fine with a little sanding or stack o-rings
can wait to see how your camera swap turned out
i just had the same aio fc die for no good reason,but i have a darwin 20x20 stack in use that's fine. i think the babyape is a good deal tho. replace the crappy camera and your still in for under $100. nowadays i think the electronics in this quad have as much chance at making it as anything else. love the videos,Nick.
I just ordered it i decided to go for non pro version and propably will swap it to baby ratel, i hope it will be fun to rip around in city where i cant use anything over 250g.
I bought the Darwinfpv 7 inch GPS quad from Pyrodrone..rebrand of the Tyro 129. And it was actually a solid 7 inch quad for under $140 bucks. Of course I ended up switching some components to do DJI fpv. But it was worth what I paid for it. Awesome thing about this little quad you reviewed here is it is budget friendly and get more new people in the hobby! Thanks for sharing 😎 Looks like the old Emax motors..lol
Links to how you added Vista to your Darwin 129 please. I'm converting mine. Mine was a total flop new out of box with Dead GPS, vtx sucks,missing vibration mounts and just poor soldering. Shelved mine until I figure out how to add DJI Vista to it. I just can't stomach Analog anymore since going HD. Unfortunately.
The quad drone market is huge. Lower prices means more money because addicts cant resist... Nice drone for the price...😲 Even though the narrow field of view cam is not preferable, having one like that spare could come in handy.
I have a baby ape ! This quad is great! I can fly it with out anybody freaking out,
It’s quiet , your not disturbing anyone.
It’s like flying a 5” but stealth.
I use a 3s 550maH , I changed out the vtx antenna and using crossfire rx .
Try one you will not be disappointed.
Sweet little quad! For that price is a steal!
Nice thing. What is certainly changed in last 5 years from time when I started to build my 80-130 mc quads - frames, motors and props are now much better. Similar frames at 2017 was heavier but with thinner arms and more prone to break. Electronics and software in general improved too. Particular build 5 years ago was possible but overall experience was like meh. Now thing like this often give a feeling of 5".
its one of the cutest looking drones ive seen yet
Great review Nick🙏👍🙏👍
The yellow blinking led on the nord. is gone and I have no throttle. What can I do
Great job with the weight loss man! You're killing it.
Thank you.
if i may ask - keto and intermittent fasting?
It is more like he's burning it. 😁
@@Fpv_Dad Not keto specifically, but in a way. I eat mainly chicken and fish with a lot of veggies. I do eat peanuts as a treat and I do intermittent fasting. I only eat a snack mid afternoon and dinner. From time to time I will have something at lunch, like cheese, nuts and/or a yogurt.
Looks like a great little ripper for that price woooow😁👍
Bought the Baby Ape V2 w/Expresslrs for $112 and I like it. Wish they used 2m motor screws and not 1.5m otherwise great. Great box tune.
Hay nick I just got the bay ape pro and I'm having some problems the motors jitter and it's pulling to the left so I correct it to the right but eventually it pulls to the left and I have zero right input any ideas? Thanks so much
Love your reviews. Stoked about this cheap lil guy.
And I’m not usually an audio/mix/edit snob, but there’s a persistent and high pitch ring in this video during the flight footage that almost made me think I had tinnitus for a minute there…
You know what, your right. While I don't hear it, I suspect its the audio track from the DVR. I didn't delete that track as I usually do. Sorry about that.
@@NickBurnsFPV no apology needed at all- just a heads up! Thanks again for all the quality content!
@@abertheham Thank you. I appreciate the reasonable response and kind words.
Just ordered it from Darwin! 🤙🏻 can’t wait to try it out!
Please let me know how your experience is.
dame bro haven't watched in awhile you looking good so slim looking so healthy
Thank you. Been cleaning up my eating habits. :)
so maybe a regular micro camera 19x19mm would fit there directly? If it's around 3mm on both sides?
How does the vtx turn on?i have not ready in betaflight
"SIXTY NINE!!!"
(sorry, I'm a child)
Great review, as always! 👍👍
Lil qwads are so fun
I ordered a BabyApe BNF with radiomaster RX, the no pro version for $91 from the Darwin website, didnt realize it was shipping form china, how is there shipping times? Anyone?
The screw holes don’t line up with the bell anyway. That’s what other guys said. They don’t know what the holes are for. Like the motors were originally for something else completely.
I've got four of the Darwinfpv quads now. A 79 , two 59s and one of the 18650 powered Dave c design copies.
I can honestly say that they all fly very well. I've had no component failures so far with any of them.
The only change I made on the 59 was to swap the vtx to a higher powered one as it flies so well, the 25mW stock vtx didn't allow me to fly far enough away !!
The 18650 is exceptionally good and all of them seem to have good flight times.
I've had more compinent failures with some far more expensive quads!!
Only thing I would say is to check all the screws are tight before you fly. One or two were a bit slack out of the box.
As the prices are low I'm not scared to try new tricks for fear of smashing up a very expensive quad !! Can't really fault them.
Thank you buddy. Let us work together to do better
Thank you. Very good information, I appreciate you taking the time to type out your experiences.
How has your experience been with them as a customer? I've made an order 2 days ago but have no order confirmation email or shipping confirmation email
@@djrodriguez6582 My first orders were through Aliexpress, no problems with those.
My latest order for the Babyape is direct with Darwinfpv, I had confirmation of order straight away. Dispatch seems to take about a week, Ive just had a confirmation email.
If you log in to your account with them you should see some details of your order.
Hi Nick! thanks for the great video as usual! I noticed some noise on the right audio channel, you might want to check it.
Keep making awesome reviews :)
Yes, I found earlier today I failed to delete the audio track from the dvr file. Sorry. I typically delete that track as its useless and often just static
@@NickBurnsFPV no worries, thank you 😄
I brought it and like it. It's so eficient and quiet. I flew it on 2s
(My old batteries become new🤣)
With a 550 mah 2s battery= 8 min fight time. Chose ant version because is better.
I like it I’ll eventually buy it I’m sure lol
How do I set up the lq reading for elrs?? I got telemetry reading but I know it's not accurate.
oscarliang.com/setup-expresslrs-2-4ghz/#display-lq-and-rssi-in-osd
Hey nick, great review! Bunch of useful informations ! Just a little question, compared to the geprc phantom, which one is the best and why ? Thank you so much 🙏
Phantom is better. Higher quality components, slight more performance.
I have the baby ape pro pnp just ordered radiomaster pocket and receiver elrs should I get the nano ranger for the radio ? And will the sky o20 goggles be a good fit for this set up thanks a lot !!! Trying to get into fpv and as much info at same time thanks!!
If you ordered the pocket in ELRS and the receiver in elrs there is no need for the nano ranger. The goggles will work with any analog fpv quad.
Wish I had neighbors like yourself. I fly like this around my backyard I'll surely have the police knocking on my door.
Nothing that says you have to acknowledge them if they did come knocking.
Since you have flown both, would you recommend Crux3 or BabyApe3 for ripping? Thanks!
The babyape3 is more appropriate for ripping, but that also depends on the size of the space flown and our skill set flying.
I like reviews like these 🤩
Thank you.
What are the best replacement motors broke 2 already 1 crashed the other making grinding noise need a upgraded motor ??
T-Motor motors are probably some of the most robust.
I just love my Baby.But first I replaced the junk camera with a Runcam Racer2 that had a good image but no uptilt until my Caddx Ant arrived. A little TLC was required as my vtx was up against the top plate. Longer screws and small spacers fixed it. Contrary to what most reviewers tell you it is on standard BF 4.2 PIDS. I turned off airmode and all the crutches and did a easy to do tune on it. First quad I've had where it feels glued to the sticks. It's not rocket but I fly it more than any other I have. I would have to replace it and I have many spares. A Bargain.
In this day and age where “budget” gets to the forefront of our lives, this looks fantastic. But! Is it a “you get what you pay for” quad. Quality is king and the longer something lasts the better.
What was your experience with the Baby Nano Hawks motors you talked about?
If they lasted then this little quad might not be so bad. Still, even I would replace the camera.
The emax babyhawk motors look a lot like this but are different kv. I haven't flown those particular motors in years. I think it was nearly 4 years ago those motors came out with the babyhawk, it might have been called the tinyhawk, it as a white prop protected quad.
Hey Nick, thank you for the great review, dont know if you review comments on older videos, but in case, do you think this is a better choice than tinyhawk freestyle 2? also can it easily carry insta360 go or even go pro session?
sorry i see now you replied on the insta360 go in the video, thank you :D
It really isn't bad at all for 70$ I would've liked it to come with a receiver for the extra 20$ but all in all not bad I also like how you can get it in different colors that's a nice touch👍I just don't see getting a pre-assembled quad then having to take it apart to install a receiver 🤔 I definitely would've liked a receiver option it would still be worth the money👍 nice little quad✌
You have a good point on the Rx. It would have been worth $10 for them to add a Rx.
A good starter, this hobby can't be very expensive
Hmmm... I think DarwinFPV may have found a much needed niche! Could they be the new Eachine of FPV? Seems likely.
I've now been in the FPV hobby for 5 years, so I've seen a little gear. 😉Watched literally multiple thousands of videos - way too many! Lol Nick's are the best of the best!
My thoughts: Nick's right. These guys appear to buy parts in bulk and assemble. My only issue is they buy old parts. One's no longer used by nearly everyone! About 3 - 4 years ago we saw 1104 motors used by lots of manufacturers. No longer. Especially with no markings! 🥴
That AIO board reminds me of a primative version of the first GepRC 15 amp board I bought when AIO's first upped the amps from 5 to 12 or 15 amps. Very few quads, now a days, use only a 200 mw VTX, but nothing wrong with that! Hey, at least it isn't only 25 mw, like the real old days! Haahaa!
That camera - UGH! I don't think I've ever seen one with such a small FOV. Certainly needs a replacement! Too bad too, cuz all of the other components could suffice and stay. Really brings the quad down! 👎
I did like Nick suggested, and read every comment. Some guy said those motors are "two dolla" on AliExpress. They'd have to be to make this even come close to the $79.99 shipped cost. I live in Oregon, USA, and that's what shipping added.
The frame, even though it looks slightly rough, appears like it might just be the strong point of this quad. Some other guy mentioned replaceable arms and Nick the nice and surprising LED's. Wow! 👍
I have no idea if it's durable, but the AIO seems like it's possibly worth 3/4 of the quads cost! Lol Seems all current stock at dealers automatically went up in price with the "new so-called chip shortage" too, so seeing a quad shipped for 80 bucks - did we travel back in time to 2017 ? LOL
I typically take a chance on quads this cheap because the AIO and the frame would cost 80 bucks! Ha! But, alas, I have over 20 quads and don't have the time to fly them already, so I have to pass.
I will say this to DarwinFPV, ALL parts must be "worthy" to consider a quad "great" or a bargain. Your camera choice has let this model down. Unacceptable! I would have easily paid $10 more for you to keep that hunk of junk and use even just a Caddx Ant instead.
Maybe this will help you do a better job next time.
The motors keep it cheap, but seem questionable also.
Other than those two parts, not a bad effort from a new-ish company to FPV.
REMEMBER, next time ALL PARTS decent! Go ahead and charge slightly more to achieve that!!! 🤔🤘
They have a baby ape pro with a caddx ant for like 12 dollars more
mans lookin good
They indeed look like old school Emax motors..Defo worth the money IMO however the cam would have to go.
Runcam nano 3 would be perfect
Nice quad for the money
I can't believe it has replaceable arms! I am gonna check back in the comments later this week to see what people are saying about Darwin stuff. 👍
I have the aio this quad uses and it's been good for last 4-5 months. It's an oddball in a good way cause it will fly 1-3s.
I was very impressed with that also man! I just wish that you could get it with a receiver for an extra 20 bucks it would be worth the 90 for sure👍
@@RubyS.1 WHATTTTT it does 1 to 3s...interesting!!!! I've been looking for a good aio that could do 1 and 2s well (brotherhobby 1402 9500kv with 3in props are absolute magic on 1s and 2s omg I hope they make them again omg best micro motor EVER!!!! That control on 1s is heavenly and power on 2s is awesome)cause the jhemcu boards I've been using ALL burned in under 5 flights 3 of them wasted, its that purple 1-2s jhemcu 5a whoop board so everyone steer clear of that one for sure all burn outs were on 2s and hovering not even punch outs and to be honest I think it was the 5v reg not the esc's on all 3 boards....sucks
I love the 129 7".. my favorite quad atm. 7" for $140 cant complain 👌
@@RubyS.1 did you fly 1s???? And how is flying
I'd buy if they sold (or included) arm replacements, plus the tune looks bad (prob. betaflight defaults). Definetly not for newbees
Hey glamour boy u look great. Nice review as usual
glamour boy huh? LOL
Hey Nick, can you just swap the lens with one with a wider field of view? You'd just need one with the same threads and diameter. Worth a shot, and cheap and easy fix?
Thanks for all you do!
We can do that. lens swaps are a bit hit and miss, some lenses work with specific sensors others are more generic.
@@NickBurnsFPV Understood. Would love to know if it works. Thanks!
With more props, lipos and aio fcs variety nowadays mix matching with old cheaper micro motors still flyable and some much better performance.
I flew a tadpole HD 3" with thrust motors. So smooth on 2-3S
Which ExpressLRS receiver did you use and any wiring suggestions?
If I recall correctly I used the happymodel ep2, I would suggest using the flywoo or jhemcu sp24s. They all have the little cube antenna but the flywoo and jhmecu have a boot button so if we needed to get into bootloader we don't have to solder only press the little button.
Where can you get replacement parts I didn't see them on their website?
I am seeing the aio and vtx on their aliexpress store (linked in video description), but not motors or even the leds. Maybe they will list them soon as I believe the baby ape just launches.
Which camera would you recommend swapping to?
I would go caddx ant that I showed in the video or for another $10 more the caddx baby ratel 2, is a big image improvement.
Hello, can you put a Go Pro 9 on it? It says that you can mount an action camera, but could a go pro be too heavy?
generally a 3inch prop and above handle go pro cameras fine, but the added weight does impact how responsive it is.
Interesting such a low KV for 3s don't you think? For the price, wow looks like a fun fly.
Yes, almost like it could do 4s, I suspect the prop might be a bit long for 4s.
Can you use a spektrum receiver with this?
While I have not tested a dsm receiver it does have a 3.3v pad for satelite receivers as well as 5v. From the documentation it looks like we would use rx1 for the signal wire.
Damn!! I’m gonna order one.
Please let me know if your experience
Hi bro, I plan to buy this darwin apes, but I don't have idea what is the receiver which is not included in the package. Can u help me by suggesting what receiver to buy n where to soldering...I'm guessing receiver to soldering to the drone but I'm not sure. Thanks bro
Is this your first quad?
@@NickBurnsFPV yes. I tot buying this, but I need to get my flysky fs-i6x first
Hi, thinking of getting this, how would I install the receiver. I'm thinking a flysky receiver
I can't be to specific as its been years since I have used flysky. I suspect we need to use an rx pad on the board and select ibus on the betaflight configuration. We also likely need to have the uart "on" for the rx numbered pad.
how was your order/shipping experience with DarwinFPV? I made an order 2 days ago and have gotten any confirmation emails
I can't be a good judge of the normal shipping and shopping. Darwinfpv sent the quad to me for review. They may have used expedited shipping
These days it’s hard to buy an aio fc/esc for 60$. 10$ more you get a frame, 4 motors,vtx, LED’s, props, hardware AND a camera?!! This is unbelievable for this price.
Those robber bands are actualy from the nano hawk and the tiny hawk.😬😬😬😕😕
I realize it’s only been a month but any updates on how that F411 AIO held up over time would be appreciated. Looking for a new FC and that one is suspiciously cheap (like half the price of competitors)…
It hasn't gotten many flights since the review. The weather has turned pretty cold. When I fly outside its mainly those products that need reviewing. During the spring summer review products tend to come out more regularly.
Dude I thought..this is a new guy...then I recognised your garden
lol. My little brother :)
I ordered a baby ape pro. We will see how it goes.
I hope it is a steady flyer for you.
What transmitter does it bind to
depends what receiver we put in it. This is plug in fly meaning it doesn't come with a receiver. Or at least when I got mine they didn't come with a receiver.
Hey, it opens another door for people to get into the hobby and it seems to fly decently. Don't see many buying this and trying to put an action camera on it! Wonder if those motors had short wires to begin with. Hope they put enough protection between the led board and carbon.
I am often enlightened to those that want to put HD cameras on everything. I think I have seen more and more comments from people who come from the camera drone world and really desire that HD recording. This might be due to the DJI FPV quad launching a bit back, or that and the quad breaking, then those users enjoy more traditional fpv experience but still want the HD recording.
@@NickBurnsFPV well, i think it's because they want people to watch them on youtube, social sites, etc. They want to show it off and get people to follow them
@@KernsJW That is an element I didn't consider. Good point.
Newb question: Already have analog goggles and a controller, what else is needed to use the drone
receiver.
If we buy a quad without a receiver we do need that. Also a charger for the batteries. The last thing that isn’t needed but good to have is a small battery checker.
A receiver, be sure to buy a receiver that works with your controller
Now I want one 😂
It certainly doesn't break the bank.
Wow that's a cheap BNF, could really help some newbies get into the hobbie. With that price you could just send it like crazy and when it dies buy another. It's like the price of a decent AIO nowadays.
Cheers mate.
All the best Nick
True, only downside for a new person is the soldering and setup of the receiver. I think that is one spot they could add a receiver for like $10, there has to be a reasonable rx on the market they can get for $5 in bulk.
@@NickBurnsFPV yeah there's lots of D8 external recievers Darwin should consider. I only pay $5US for the Emax D8 external ones I use.
But a bit of deal breaker is the cam for me, it's quite bad. An ant would be nice in there but it's 1/3 the cost of the quad, shame it's not wider FOV, the image is fine to start with but narrow makes it soooo hard to learn proximity. Lucky you know you yard quite well by now Nick haha.
Gonna try a lap blind folded soon? Haha
@@slowentropy4531 As well as I know the space, my first 6 flights were awful, so many crashes and near crashes. I suspect your right on both the Rx and camera, surely they can find a camera with the same image quality and a wider fov for just a few dollars.
@@NickBurnsFPV yeah alot of those old reversing camera has huge FOV and are super cheap as well. Yeah that just shows it will be a bit hard for beginners to fly hey, I absolutely love super wide FOV if if image distorts a tad. But hey at least you crash tested it yo a degree haha.
@@slowentropy4531 yea, I don't get to troubled by a touch of fish eye myself. I just want to see as much as possible. Makes it all feel faster and more aware.
i ordered one 2 weks ago barley out for delivery today and they shipped the batteries seperate 2 days ago so now i have to wait another 2 weeks dont order directly from darwin website its from a china warehouse thats why it takes so long and when you try to talk to someone its says on website fast respones it took 4 days for them to reply dont get me wrong its a good product for the money but the shipping is crapif anybody can find a us warehouse then thats awsome get it
I need to get one just for it’s name.
i am wondering how you can calibrate the accelerometer with the usb socket in that position.. 🤷♀️
I use an empty tape roll to set the quad on. I route the usb cable up through the roll and plug in to the quad, then when I set it all on the desk I have a bit of the roll hang off the edge of my desk for the usb cable.
@@NickBurnsFPV very clever
Can the default camera be changed that comes with the drone?
Also can you make a video on how to connect the transmitter and goggles with the drone ? i have fs i6x transmitter
Yes, any cameras with the same mounting distance can fit. Connecting with googles is basically matching the frequency the drone is transmitting at to the goggles. Most use the goggle auto search to start.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks for your response, but can you explain the later part of the question about the transmitter?
@@tamoghnadey Its called "binding". I don't use flysky, you will need to do some research there.
@@NickBurnsFPV ya it's called binding, my bad :/
Hii and thank you for information
Can be installed GPS and ELRS on it (if quit to smart audio feature)?
I think so. We would need two uarts
We would need an external mount for the gps
Thanks alot. I intend to buy babyape and have return home ( I lost my et115 yesterday,,,😥 because video cut and no osd).
i bought and tried to connect it to it to the betaflight, but it says failed to open serial port. I installed all drivers and it didn’t help.did some one had that problem?
This is common. I presume this is the first quad. Be sure we are using a cable that is data and power capable. Typical cell phone cables are often just power for charging. We need a cable we can get data through as well
@@NickBurnsFPV ty, i’ve tried 2 different cables but it didn’t help(, will try another one
@@hawyPercs alsodownload and run with the quad plugged in the driver fixer from here impulserc.com/pages/downloads
@@NickBurnsFPV thank you very much about cabel! it helped me a lot
Does it come with prop bolts?
At this time I don't recall, I don't think so. The props are press on. But I show everything that comes in the box.
HTF do you keep ya head still when you do the rips....
I don't really know. Some people move about and others don't. i do fly sitting down, maybe that helps.
Has anyone tried to put LI-ION batteries in this drone? (For cruising purposes), Or what's the biggest li-po you can put in this tiny drone? (I'm not going to use any action cam on it, that allows me to put a bigger 3s battery?)
I don't think I have heard of anyone documenting the different sizes of batteries that can be used on this quad. In general in FPV we compare performance rather than biggest.
i have a darwin aio board in a whoop, my old beta75x. better than the original.Why not just a lens swap?
Len's swap is an option, I guess it depends on price, if we can find a wide fov for say $4 its likely worth it. But if it gets north of that a $15 camera likely is an option I would pursue.
I like the design of this frame if it's not too heavy.
Not sure of just the frame weight. I wouldn't expect it to be over weight as the carbon isn't terrible thick. I was more worried the arms would break, especially when I hit the fence. Those fence crashes seem fairly violent to me.
Could you install a sharkbyte in this without modification?
We will need some sort of standoff to keep the sharkbyte off the AIO FC/ESC and longer screws.
Not bad for $69.99. How long was shipping?
I wouldn't want to use my shipping experience as vendors will handle packages sent to me differently than typical.
