@@MountTinMan Sorry to hear buddy. I took the part off another ESC so that I can continue with the review. I did order what looked comparable from Ali Express. Should be arriving in the next week. Reach out to me again and I'll let you know if that Ali Express replacement worked or not.
I think something like this is going to be perfect for what im looking to get as my first fpv drone. Something to do cinematic hd and also some smooth, easier freestyle. Prayers i get my hands on a drone before i hit 1000 simulator hours lol. Thats all i can afford right now! Great video ty for the upload!!
Welcome. It's a great beginner drone that won't break the bank. I'm going to do a retune and post a new video in case you need help there once you get yours. Generally prices are down on all FPV gear so now is a good time. I remember paying about 30% more for my Goggles 2 than my Goggles 3!
@@Mangorille I really don't like politics but this is a weird time isn't it? honestly I think they want as many of Americans to have at least SOME level of fpv or quad flight experience, take that how you like. For me its all about fun! another tune will probably help some but it really seemed to handle what you threw at it in the video and I was impressed. And if it doesn't freestyle as well as I hope I can always upgrade to a 5 inch for that later :) Besides IMO honestly, cinewhoops just look more aesthetically pleasing 🤭
I also own the Pavo 20 Pro from BetaFPV and connected the LED strip that came with it to the cable that was already soldered onto the flight controller. The LED strip lights up, so it works, but I can’t turn it on and off using the remote controller. Additionally, I noticed that in your configuration, User 1 is available. That’s not the case for me. Can you help me figure out how to configure this? Do I perhaps need to resolder something?
Did you upgrade the betaflight firmware on the flight controller? It uses a pinio to control the LED so if you reflashed it you may have lost that configuration
@@TheLagur I'm still at 4.5.0. Did you make sure to apply all the LED, PINIO, and RESOURCE configurations after the upgrade? I upgraded the Pavo 20 (non-Pro) and most of these had to be manually reapplied. Check out my dump file if you didn't take a backup before hand. For example: # resources resource SERIAL_TX 6 NONE resource PINIO 1 C06 # led led 0 0,0::C:10 led 1 1,0::C:10 set pinio_box = 40,255,255,255 drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DtZVU6L97sdW7A8uNlRKCGa2YyOiFuSY?usp=sharing

Thanks for a great review! Always enjoy your videos. Very excited to add a Pavo20 Pro to the family! Can you comment on the signal & range difference between those mini dipolars and the stock O3 antenna?
Thanks buddy. I haven't noticed any difference in the range between the two antenna in the types of flying that I do. I'm definitely not a long range pilot...
@@scooteracers I haven't tried but don't see why not. It would be no different than any other quad. You'll need to update the Betaflight configuration to point the SBUS to the correct UART (kind of like pointing it to the DJI air unit instead of the ELRS receiver). Do note the disconnect issues happening right now with the O3 + Goggles 3 right now. I have a video on this.
@@Ice_box714 thanks so much for confirming this. I appreciate it. I ended up getting a DJI Neo to mess with in the meantime but I’m sure I’m going to to grow out of it soon and upgrade to one of these
The Pavo 20 and the 20 Pro night flyer , is toally different when it come to light, and user1, no uart 1 in pavo 20 pro. I did creat a user1, but it mees up my whole system, is the light on led strip or tx1, a little confusing, the Pavo 20 didnt have this issue.
USER1 is not the same as UART1. USER1 is used to control a PINIO that has been configured. Take a look the CLI dump from either myself or from BETAFPV.

I had the same burn and I found that resistor at the table and soldered it back. And it happened again before I realized what the problem is.
Glad I’m not the only one (misery loves company). Fortunate you were able to find the resistor. Mine self destructed into a thousand pieces.

Same here, I ordered from betafpv
Was sent to me by BetaFPV. I only received it last week. Hopefully yours arrives soon!
@@Mangorille I ordered on Aug 9th. I think many people are still waiting, I’m betting there is a shipping issue or lost in the ocean somewhere.
So based on the loudness of this drone, so you have any option you recommend for a more stealthy flying experience ? Thanks
This one isn’t bad if you cruise around. If you want quieter or at least not as high pitched, you want something with bigger props.
