See this is what I love about your videos. You give us specs and ur expertise opinion. BUT YOU ACTUALLY LET US HEAR IT. And that's a big one for me. Awesome video Nick.👊
Anddddddd STICKERS! :)
Fantastic flying and review, Nick! 😃
Pretty long flight times! That's awesome! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Love the 1404 motors. I use it on the tail of my 250-gram helicopter with HD video and flies for 35 minutes. Any motor/battery combo has double fly time when they are installed on a heli.
My mind was made up immediately when you mentioned this GepRC doesn't use the Caddx Nebula Pro camera. That's a deal breaker, IMO, because the non-Pro camera is not close in image quality to the Pro that comes on the Babyhawk 2 HD.
I also don't like the GepRC frame as well, the mounting of everything on top of each other, meeting in the middle with barely any space between them - UGH! Also the flexing and possibly touching of those components when crashing on the battery, is not a good thing! You're right, the GepRC doesn't look as durable either.
You'll be happy to know that my Babyhawk 2 HD came with the battery lead zip ties down from Emax! Good to see them add that! With it in my hands, I can see the build quality of the Babyhawk 2 HD is absolutely superb! Some really nice design choices that make it pretty special... i.e. the way the antenna is mounted, the extra carbon fiber plate used for not only the antenna but for extra support for the Caddx Vista stack. I see the frame as being a definite advantage of the Babyhawk 2 HD also. Easier to work on because the AIO FC is not mounted directly below the Caddx Vista, so easy to see and work on. When carefully examining the Babyhawk 2 HD you can see design features that lend me to believe that Emax did take over 2 years designing it. Build quality and parts quality is a definite 10 out of 10. Really easy to see the quality and thought put into it when it's in your own hands. The frame is gorgeous!
From looking at the GepRC, it shows they through this together to get something out to compete with Emax, with none of the superb designs Emax used.
When you buy the Crossfire version like I did, the attention to detail is even more evident by the placement of the nano receiver and the superb job done mounting the mini immortal T antenna! Sweet! 😀
The GepRC weighs more even though they are using the Caddx Nebula Nano lighter camera! That camera is THE end point of interest in the GepRC for me, and honestly, should be for all of you too! That camera is known to be not even close to the quality of the Nebula Pro. 😩
I see no reason to get stuck with that crumby camera.
The GepRC frame isn't as nice or durable in appearance, the mounting of the stack shows none of the great design Emax used, and again, the whole quad is heavier even though they used the crumby camera!
I'm sure glad I got the Emax Babyhawk 2 HD, because there's no comparison at all in any of the features we can possibly compare... the Emax is designed with so much more thought involved its not close!
Even Nick said it also is faster too! I have found that when a company comes out with a rave reviewed product, the copies almost always aren't close to the original in design and component quality... AND THE GepRC Costs More Too! 😳😢
Very happy I bought the Emax! That camera GepRC used is definitely the DEAL BREAKER!
I'm so surprised they used it too, because it seems none of the quads that use that crumby camera are good sellers... I see everyone of those quads using this camera always in stock - Everywhere!
Some are already on Clearance! Where quads using the Nebula Pro are constantly sold out! Geprc blew it!!! 🤔😕😞
Biggest issue i've come accross with emax is lack of support and also they make there drones incompatible with different parts. To fix an emax 90% of the time requires emax parts that are absurdly costly. I do like your write up though, very informative opinion on the two competitors!
@@PLAT515 You are exactly right! proprietary parts on all of the micro quads! I've never bought one of those. But, the older and also superb Hawk5 and this Babyhawk 2 HD don't use any proprietary parts at all! And, besides the excellent design I wrote about, that's the reason Emax got my money once again!
Hi. I converted my smart35 vista to a O3. Works great. I designed a 3d print for props to be out of view. Still some slight jello, but i will soon play with hq props and tune to see where it takes me. Really enjoy this small, pocket rocket. Thanks for awesome videos.
Nick, when you're buzzing over your back porch, I love the sound it makes as the sound bounces off the boards that span the "roof" area. I'm giving you a thumbs up on this one even though you didn't do a single fly-over.... grrr ;)
lol, I tend to fly that path with small and/or slower quads. That sound is interesting, kind of a fluttering sound.
I like the gep rc line,and you make flying so fluid.
Epic review Nick. Awesome flying as well. 👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏
Where the heck do I even began with getting into something like this? I have decades of RC airplane experience. Heli experience, and even some basic quad experience. I'm not worried about flight skill. I'm lost with the tech. It is like 1000x more complex than rc airplanes! OMG. I wish someone just had a ready to go FPV HD in box setup. I have 21 acres of private land to fly around on. (three private homes, private road, private pond, woods, paths). This would be so much fun!
Hi there. You can get things exactly like this out the box. All you have to do is decide how much you want to spend. I believe the sweet spot is
1. Second hand DJI V2 goggles - run latest firmware and you can bind to different DJI systems (you can get goggles 2 from DJI)
2. Bind and fly quad copter of your choosing (with the DJI O3 air unit in it)
3. Get the DJI controller 2 for ease of binding it all together. You will need to take the centering spring off the throttle.
The Controller 2 will bind to the quadcopter and the goggles. You will spend about 2h watching Joshua Bardwell videos to get it to work.
It is amazing and my life has not been the same since enjoying the world through the eyes of FPV. I have land like you and it is more fun than I have had with my private aircraft and expensive cars.
@doccock100 Thank you kind sir. That is awesome. Appreciate you taking the time to share. Now, to track down the items 😀.
Great video as usual. I like the analog version of this as well as the phantom..
10 minutes cruising with an 850mah?! Heck yeah, can’t wait to get mine! It’s been ordered and I’m waiting…….
So they just basically immediately came out with their version of the baby hawk 2
I guess we could say that about every quad when its second to use a new prop size. Babyhawk II HD doesn't have an analog option, that is one of the biggest complaints I heard when Babyhawk II HD launched.
Thrown together without any of the thoughtful design features Emax used. Plus, that camera can be found on all of the poorly selling, always in stock quads, where the quads using the Caddx Vista Nebula Pro are constantly sold out.
That camera is a lemon when it come to picture quality!
Buyer Beware! 😳😩
@@noforyoutubepremium3108 What are the thoughtful design features of the Emax BH II?
I agree, I do not like how the Nebula looks when looking at trees.
@@mikelewis2269 The frame is exceptionally well done. It's cut really nice and the edges are very precise and not rough like cheap frames sometimes are. The little carbon fiber plate the helps support both the Caddx Vista and the Rush antenna is a really nice design feature. I has a little cutout for the antenna. Mine has the Crossfire receiver with a mini Immortal T antenna that is mounted in a super good spot and really looks professionally done and designed to fit exactly there. I love how the Caddx Vista is mounted from the top plate, but it's not directly over the AIO FC, it's behind it which allows the AIO FC to be completely open with nothing above it but the capacitor. I gues the back tip of the triangle shaped board is slightly under the front of the Caddx Vista, but all else is very open to get to. If I wanted to solder a component to it there's a chance I could do it without even taking off the top plate. It's just so much more well designed than the GepRC quad. It looks like they took a frame from something else that would just happen to also fit 3.5" props and used it. Nothing special or unique about this GepRC frame in the least bit.
Each of the motors have just a slight bit of extra carbon fiber on EACH side of the motor to give it just a little extra motor protection without it actually being a big point that sticks out, like many frames protect it's motors. The top plate has just the right sized hole in it for the XT30 to come up through. It also has two little bumps the go out to the right and left that have small holes in them to add an external camera mount for a GoPro or whatever you want to secure there. A nice touch!
Nick mentions how co0ol the clear plastic insert is to protect the bottom of the AIO FC from water damage. Very thoughtful, yet extremely lightweight! The top plate also has a little extension built into the very back of it so the Rush antenna also clips into it to protect and support it.
There are 3D printed sleeves that go over the front standoffs. These offer the holes for the Caddx Nebula Pro camera to mount there. At the very bottom of those 3D printed sleeves are a triangular shaped bulge that protrudes out to be the furthest most part of the entire quad. These offer extra protection for the Nebula Pro camera. Instead of the camera sitting out there in No Mans Land ready to take a direct hit in a crash, like the GepRC has, Emax has thought this through and those are a subtle, but nice design to protect the camera in a head on crash. The top plate also has a similar shaped protrusion so you end up with 4 of these, two top and two on the bottom to give four points to protect your camera really from a crash from any angle to the front.
The motor wires are soldered very professionally with nice shiny balls of solder. As perfect as I've ever seen! It's the way they routed the wires that's nice though...They go neatly down the arms, coming into the middle of the quad and go in towards the center of the AIO FC, and then are swung back from the middle and get soldered on. So, the wires aren't hanging off the AIO FC, they are coming in from the middle of the AIO FC and soldered from there. A nice, tidy touch. Each of the arms has a small, and again tidy, piece of that black fabric Emax tape (that Nick loves so much!) that holds the wires snug to the very thin arm.
Emax mounted the Crossfire Nano Receiver perfectly between the Caddx Vista and the capacitor, like they planned that precise space just for it to sit exactly there.
IMO, I honestly do not think Emax could have designed the Babyhawk 2 HD, as a whole - everything about it - any better! So much attention to detail is taken. I can see why they advertise that it took them over 2 years to develop the final version of the Babyhawk 2 HD. Even the battery lead, which on Nick's early review quad, wasn't zip tied down...is now zip tied down from the factory.
I've seen a ton of quads over my 4.5 years in this hobby. This Emax quad is one of the nicest, most polished designs I have ever encountered. I'm really glad I bought it. Sure, it's out of stock at most shops, but it is worth the wait! I got mine at GetFPV a couple of weeks ago, so they might still have them...
Wow, I am liking this one.... Adding to the top of my list.... :D
It’s a phantom that went through a growth spurt
That is a pretty accurate description. :)
So... they straight-up copied the design of the EMAX Babyhawk II HD? The Babyhawk II HD at least comes with the Nebula Pro camera, and I suspect that the frame baseplate/arms are stronger as well. On the flip side, it appears that GEPRC is actually completing the construction of the quad if you opt for DJI, as EMAX doesn't finish soldering the necessary connections from the AIO FC to the Caddx Vista. Same props, both have 1404 motors with very similar KV, and extremely similar frame design...
Straight-up copy? I don't see really all that similarities, the component specs are similar, that isn't all that unusual when comparing like quads. Babyhawk II HD comes in just under 250grams without an external HD camera, smart35 with HD camera just under 250 grams.
It’s basically the phantom all grown up!
that it is. :)
@@NickBurnsFPV Do you like the phantom or the smart 35 better? They both seem to fly nice and smoothly. Maybe the phantom can get long flight times with a 4s 650mah like this smart 35 can use the 4s 850mah?
@@SuperDbergman for me the phantom HD is more fun in my space.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks for the feedback. I'd imagine it would work to get a 3s but with higher mAh on that small thing and keep it cruising for a long time too... just like the larger Smart 35 but with an even bigger battery... so as long as there's not too much wind, then the smaller one is the winner?? What battery would you suggest for a noob like me? I have a cinelog25 and I can fly 4s, but I don't need the punch out power yet... I've tried 3s 550mah. Does it still give a good signal with 3s... or is that why you'd need 4s? Thanks so much for your feedback and wisdom!!!
I guess I have been lucky so far with the DJI V2 goggles. I received the first batch and did the update and connected to my vista right away. I also just purchased a eachine quad that was on a special with the original air unit and it also connected fine after i updated the air unit and activated. I hope i dont run into any issues later on. I probably wont do a update to the goggle firmware since the original works fine.
Same here. Got my v2s in February and no issues. And I have done all the available updates. I think it is because ours were released prior to the DJI fpv quad.
@@kurtzFPV Yea thats true. The quad was not realeased yet. I hope thats the case as well. Did you do the updates for any reason or just to have them installed.
@@Sylo2Nice Just to stay up to date. I was activating another vista unit and just updated the goggles while I was at it.
I wonder how the Avio 3.5 HD will compare when it is released. Looks like it has 1504.5-3950KV Motors.
3.5" looks like the new sweet spot... We're going to need more 3.5" props!
I haven't heard they are making one, but I don't tend to ask manufacturers those sort of questions, keeps me honest with all of them. I do think the larger motors might hurt the flight time some, but have more aggressive flight characteristics. I think HQ made a 3.5inch prop, but I haven't bought them yet.
@@NickBurnsFPV avantquads.com/products/Avio-3.5-HD-Bind-n-Fly--%22Coming-Soon%22.html
I used the HQ props on my babyhawk II. They aren't as aggressive as the Avan props, but they gave me a little longer flight time. I usually use the HQ props for long range flights and the Avans for freestyle.
@@gregorypaul7898 Ah your right. Surprised they didn't mention it in the communications. Maybe they did but I forgot, that happens a fair bit.
impressed when you went so far away behind the house, but be careful : you could scare someone, this is a "heavy" quad
We took precautions. I use my kids as spotters. :)
@@NickBurnsFPV Kids are good spotters ! Impresssssssed !
I just subbed I love ur content ..and Man U can rip and fly with the best of them if u ask me .. cheers buddy !!
Thank you. I have been fly about 5 years. Also, I still fly just for fun rather than every flight being about making a video. It sure helps to fly often :)
Great review but I can't believe they are charging $20 more for this than the babyhawk 2 , the nebula pro in the babyhawk 2 is by far a better camera
I suspect it has to do with the ability to have that HD camera mounted on top.
@@NickBurnsFPV not to mention the babyhawk 2 hd has been plagued with aio failures..... i included in that number.... am sending mine back and getting the geprc to replace it
@@toxicfpv304 Oh, I had not heard the emax aio has been having failures. I was hopeful that wouldn't be the case.
@@NickBurnsFPV to be fair i absolutely loooooved the way the babyhawk 2 hd flew for the few flights I did get in. I fell in love with the 3.5 inch and after watching your review I might give the babyhawk 2 hd another try over the geprc. Didnt realize it was the nebula v2. I wish they would have gone with the nebula pro. I wouldn't think twice about it. But I guess I will try the babyhawk again and if I get another board failure I'll just find another aio to out in it. Because it did fly really really good for it size. Perfect for ripping around my yard and not annoying the neighbors the same way my five once would.
Word is that the babyhawk II HD is not expected to be in production anymore now until 2022 because availability of the nebula pro is so inconsistent, so it's really not a contender anymore. NordFPV stated this from his contact at emax, I haven't confirmed it myself but -- I had one on preorder and it was cancelled at banggood a couple of days ago, because of lack of stock and bg had no info on when they were getting anymore.
GEPRC has an intersting option here, though I agree with the concern that the vista could hit the FC in an upside down crash. I have the babyhawk II coming, but it has been stuck in customs for a while now.
I have notice things taking long and longer in customs. Packages are now taking about a week to clear customs.
@@NickBurnsFPV Yep, that sounds about right. Oh well gives me time to play with my new 3d printer.
another great review!!!
Which one is better transtec beetle or geprc 35. Thank you for your content. I'm new to the world of FPV and still deciding on a starter quad
If I recall correctly the beetle is a 2inch prop, this is much more aggressive flyer than the beetle.
@@NickBurnsFPV thank you
@@NickBurnsFPV nope…there is a 2.5”(original with full size air unit) and the 2” (with nebula…) which doesn’t perform as well…I’m gathering due what always seems to be the real lower limit on these Digital setups… 3” or at the extreme 2.5”…the Beetle is a beast and was reasonably priced when I bought it
I've been flying a Racer X Twig XL 3 inch build with BH 1505.4 for past year. Then got hold of the hq 3.5x2x3 a few months back and was a game changer. But the quad feels and looks like a race quad. Curious how a slammed version of the frame with my analogue set up inside would be
same here!
Racerx mutant flyer with 1404 and 4’’ props. 😉
Gday Nick, looks like a cool 3 inch micro but gee's the price is up there even the analog one, not mentioning the price of emax dam! which one do you like flying more out of the two, have you been flying the 2 inch flywoo hexacopter just wondering as I'm thinking of building one with slightly larger motors, great review as always mate.👍🛸
for me I am not about having the external hd camera recording. I would likely fly the babyhawk II HD more as the image is better and flies slightly more aggressively which suits my style. I have not flown the hex recently, the weather has been so bad I have had to spend my outside fly time on new products. The hex is a fun little quad, and that element of knowing your flying 6 motor has me in a different head space I have not experienced before.
Yeah, way, WAY better buys than this for the analog version! Why is it so damn expensive?!!! 🤔😩🤷♂️
So this or the avantquad ciro 3? I had only geprc stuff until now and liked it but avantquads get many praise too.
oh that is a tough one. For me if my wallet can handle it I would go ciro3, I have more confidence in avantquads support of their products. They are a small shop but I haven't head anyone complain about support, or quads burning up on first battery plug in.
@@NickBurnsFPV cool thing thank you. Actually that's what my belly is telling me too.😎
Would you be able to do a review on the BETAFPV X-KNIGHT 35 3.5” HD? Since it’s in the “family” of 3.5” quads.
Potentially. I am not sure betafpv would send a review sample, I would likely need to purchase that one.
cool! May pick up the frame by itself and do a build myself. Wonder how it would do on 1505 3600kv, or maybe the brotherhobby 1504.5 3950 kv.
I would expect that motor to do well in a racing style. The lower kv will likely mean somewhat less top end for longer punchouts and such, but otherwise it will have more low throttle handling.
Same as the crux35?
Do you know if gps can be added onto this drone. I see it has two uart port and softserial port on betaflight.
I suspect it could but I have not tried to add gps to it myself.
As a newbie to the hobby, the pricing of things confuse me. For an example, this 3.5" is more expensive than some 5" pnp options such as the Nazgul 5 and Roma 5.
Pricing dji vs analog, dji is going to be $130+ more than analog. In some ways its like clothes...why do baby clothes cost the same as bigger clothes. :)
Hey Nick, do you know is this camera the updated v2 Nebula Nano? I feel the image quality was much better in your earlier video showing the updated Nebula Nano vs Nebula Pro and the DJI camera
Its really hard to say definitively. I have been told it is v2. I wish there was a visual way we could tell the difference.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks for the reviews anyways!
Same here in UK.... rain rain rain
We had a big storm hit early this morning. Heavy heavy rain. Standing water all over the yard :(
thanks for the review! for a newbie interested in freestyle, but still scared of 5", would you recommend this or the HGLRC Petrel 120x Pro 4S? which would be more similar to the feel of a proper 5"? btw, I'm not interested in HD (nor a gopro), so I'd go with the analog. thanks!
I actually recommend getting something like a whoop, mobula 6, mobula 7, NewBeeDrone Acrobee etc. These are good safe and small quads. We can fly them inside if we want to or during bad weather days, or take them outside. Very seasoned "professional" pilots fly these types of quads. IMHO much better for starting than something that has so much power and weight, which both contribute to the possibility of damage or harm.
@@NickBurnsFPV sorry, I must have accidentally deleted part of my message when doing an edit! those are exactly the quads I'm flying at the moment. I'm ready to upgrade :-)
@@pgabrieli ah, well this would be the next step of course, but the HD version does require we have at least the dji goggles. Also might want to check out the quad review I posted today. Maybe you already have. I am working backwards through comments :)
@@NickBurnsFPV I would go with the analog version of the Smart 35. yes, I saw the Crux35 you posted today. that's also on the list. damn, too many choices! :-D
Hey Nick do you think I could use the camera plug for a battery powered buzzer? You know cut the plug off and hook up the red and black wires
we probably could but we would need to solder one wire to the buzzer pad to have the buzzer on a switch. But it would work as a lost model alarm, only needing voltage to it.
What about brace effect on weight and flight characteristics? With brace it will be more crash-proof I think. Like emax. Isn't it?
It should be more durable, but it will come in over the 250gram with hd camera and battery. With that, it is an option if not using the hd camera or not wanting to stay below 250grams.
3.5" will be the new standard as bnf manufacturers are just going to try to stay under the 250gr threshold
Its likely. I think 4inch was tough to maintain durability and stay below 250grams.
Really? I’ve slammer my racerx mutant and it’s really tough compared to our “traditional “ micros :)
Hello, thanks for the review
Can you do that with Nazgul Evoque f5d at the backyard?
No I don’t review quads larger than a 4inch prop. And very few 4 inches at that
I have some emax 1404 3700kv on a 4’’ build and I find them slow, even on 4s. I’ using HQ T4x2.5… The weight is about 100gr (bit less).
Would scaling down to 3.5’’ props give me that missing speed and pop?
Smaller props will help on shorter punches, but longer punches we need more motor.
Does the GEPRC Smart 35 HD come with a connector pre-installed for a naked camera?
yes
Lol the spotters
I want a 3.5in so bad lol I really like that quad there alot I like the frame on it. Thanks for sharing Nick
That crap camera makes it a deal breaker! It's not nearly as good and the Nebula Pro. The GepRC weights more too, even though they use the lighter camera! Plus, the GepRC costs more!
It's a bad buy with that camera!
Which drone do you like better? The Smart 35 or the EMAX?
For me I would likely go emax babyhawk II HD
100000% great quad
How did u get audio from 1st fly footage as you said it use caddx nebula camera
I use another camera that sits on the table near me to record and sync in the video editing process.
Hello nick...looking for a small quad that feels sort of like a 5inch. No need to carry a cam. Just one to freestyle it and not scare my neighbors (I have fields before my house) but when I do fly there my 5 inch... everyone knows. Could this be the one? It looked pretty loud in your video but you are always flying close to you....
I haven't flown a 5 inch in years. With that, pretty much anything over 2inch tends to create a fair bit of noise. The most quiet are the super light micros running 40mm props or 3inch biblades on 1s or 2s, even with that when we get to 4s the noise really starts back up again. The avan props tend to lean towards the less noisy side.
@@NickBurnsFPV Nick..I like how you always respond fast despite how important your channel has become. Just one question how do you get along with your neighbors... they are all around you and close.... I have a field behind my house that is 500 m in depth before my front neighbors and I m worried 😅
I’d run 1604 motors
This one or the Baby Hawk 2 is the best choice!?
If you want to run an external HD camera this, if not, really either. Depends what you like.
please find my comment here and read it for the answer to your quayside question... 👍
those plastic bits over the motor wires have chopped more wires than props for me, a broken prop + gaffer tape has fared me much better
so they break then slice the motor wire?
@Nick Burns yea they shatter pretty easily, and when they shatter for me it's been in V shape, which then digs into the motor wire until one day you're wondering why the one motor stops turning. One caveat that this might be local to me and the colder climate I fly in usually. Never have had an issue with the prop+tape method
@@eedok either way seems like they might need to change the plastic on those covers.
Hi, what motors does it have?
Full quad specs are covered in the video and product page linked in the video description
Nick, were you holding back on your fastest flight? You didn't seem as madman as usual. :) Is it bigger than your usual quad, underpowered?
I love that you mostly fly in your house or backyard. You set a great comparative benchmark that way.
I notice the specs on this are very similar to the Iflight Chimera 4.
I do suspect I was holding back some in the first flight. I have those recently constant water puddles in the yard.
@@NickBurnsFPV LOL. Water puddles, hate them! Understood. Thanks!
🤠👍
What did you like better
I like the BH II HD more. I don't need the ability to have a secondary HD camera to record.
3700kv dont need a throttle limit for 4s? Nice quad tho..
Not on this one. Often depends on the esc rating.
there is a new motor for these 3.5" kind of setups. it has a bit more power and weight. i think it can handle 3.5" props better and still be under 250g. i can't wait to try that new motor.
can u use this with the frsky d9 0r d16
Yes, but we have to select that receiver when we purchase.
that frame appears to have a nice, high quality, machine finish on the edges. Hopefully it's made of equally as nice carbon
I forgot to do the bend test in the video. For skinny arms they are very stiff. I can can make them flex but it takes some bearing on it.
Quadtastic;
Have you gotten to know your new neighbors better??😃😃
Which ones. We have the couple next door and the new couple over the back fence. In both cases we are getting to know each other better. The couple over the fence has started traveling more for work, we don't see them as much in recent weeks.
@@NickBurnsFPV just remembered you losing your drone over the back fence and saying you wanted to get to know them better 😃😃
I ordered 1 from banggood. BNF. There are no instructions how to even put the props on.
I am new to fpv(obviously) does anyone have a download or something to help me get started. Just spent 900$..paperweight.
I didn't even get 2 sets of props..any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
There is much to learn with quad/fpv. So much so its hard to advise where to start. Likely first leave off the props, download the betaflight configurator app to your computer, plug in the quad via usb and with the betaflight configuration app. This will start the journey, learning what switch is set to arm the quad, the flight modes etc, don't change anything only look and learn. Hopefully as it sounds as though you bought a package it is all bound with the radio to the quad, and the quad video to the goggles. If not that would be the next steps.
Thanks Nick. I've been watching your videos prior to ordering my 1st fpv. Been doing my homework...thank you for your reply. You really are a good guy. I appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction.
I've been preparing for my quad for over a month. It was frustrating to get parts and screws and not know which 1s fastened them to the motor.
Anyway, really appreciate your videos and just how you are an excellent pilot, yet humble about it. My favorite/go-to review channel. I've learned quite a bit from you....long way to go.
Thanks
@@grasshopper1933 Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. Often prop screws are 7mm, but again many times the screws aren't in a bag of their own and not labeled what their size is. This hobby has a steep learning curve and has many hazards to our wallet. Let me know if you have more questions, one tip I for your research, if your read or watching a video and it doesn't make sense, note the date the information was published. There are many resources that aren't all that relevant today.
Me again..lol. I hooked quad up to betaflight and went to the motor test ,have to check the I understand box, and none of the motors responded. Does the battery have to be hooked up to use the motor test? Like I stated, ordered quad, goggles and radio..only got the quad and the goggles. (Split order) due to availability.
So I haven't received my batteries or transmitter.
The ? Is Does the battery need hooked up to the quad to test motor??
Thanks again.
I actually can't believe you have responded..let alone 2x.
Thanks man. I appreciate your time.
@@grasshopper1933 Yes, we do need the battery plugged in to power the motors. USB only has about 5v. Often usb will only power the flight controller. No camera, or vtx, sometimes usb can power the receiver, but that depends on the flight controller and if it has a 4.5voltage pad and the receiver is wired to it.
5:35 Ha!
1404 is too small for those props imo
you prefer say a 150x motor or even bigger.
@@NickBurnsFPV yep. what about you?
@@rawpicsfpv3516 if we give up the under 250 grams and hd camera option I would push it to a 160x.
@@NickBurnsFPV makes sence!;)
Should have waited and skipped getting the inflight 25😖😖😖
Why is it we care about being under 250g?
In some countries, including the US it means the drone doesn't have to be registered with the FAA or the local air regulators.
Looks very similar to the new babyhawk.......hmmm. I wonder how many more 3.5s we're gonna see
My bet is 4 more. Taking over or under?
@@NickBurnsFPV I'll go over. But may be a month or 2 with the chip shortage
@@michaelmatthews6421 very well could. I figure, diatone, iflight, HGLRC and Betafpv. Then gave myself one more as to a company I am not thinking of.
@@NickBurnsFPV happy model? Still thinking babyhawk may be best....for now. Kinda partial to emax. Love they come tuned already
@@michaelmatthews6421 I don't expect them to, they have only gone as large as 3inch.
Is it analog or digital?
Digital
@@NickBurnsFPV is there any other versions that’s analog or no
@@idofivethings6222 The links in the video description are linked to both analog and digital versions.
@@NickBurnsFPV thank you
@@NickBurnsFPV does it come with Motets?
Getting a little tired of all you high-falutin pilots bragging about your HD quads. If yall think you're better than me, then I drive a 1965 rambler with 6 million miles on it.
............and it's paid for. 😂
lol. 65 rambler sounds like fun. My stepdad had a 55 ford truck...I think it was a 55. It had curved window on the rear corners of the cab. He sold it to a guy cause he needed those windows, as they weren't broken. He made a load over what he paid for. It may have been a "3 on the tree" too.
@@NickBurnsFPV Funny you mention that. When I was a kid, an older 'born mechanic' friend 'gave' myself and my best friend an old Ford truck he had sitting out back of his house. It had the same curved rear window you mentioned and these enormous fenders that ended in headlights. We thought it was the greatest thing. We were 12 or so. Prob a 3 in the tree also.
As an aside, I also wish I had a 65 Rambler. I'd trade it in for a set of HD goggles ....and then some!
@@minkorrh I don't know what year this is, but these are the curved rear windows. Turns out it wasn't even a ford :) the truck my stepdad had wasn't nearly this nice but it has the windows st.lowrider.com/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/A-History-Of-41-59-Chevy-Pickups-Flat-Bed-rails.jpg?interpolation=lanczos-none&fit=around|660:440
@@NickBurnsFPV Oh those are sweet. Here's the closest thing I could come up with according to my memory which at 53 isn't what it was. I think the 'window curve' in your post grabbed me, but it was the front window of the truck that was curved in my case. It was a behemoth of a vehicle with a single barrel carb and an engine bay you could live in. Something like this without the nice paint, wheels, etc. It was an old truck.... www.autoblog.com/cars-for-sale-detail--2757283560047015969-Ford-F-100-1956
I think the only difference is that one is more black.
the smart35 is made to have the ability to mount and run an external HD camera.
@@NickBurnsFPV emax sells a insta360 go mount for the babyhawk. Ordered a insta360 go 2 and will test. You mean Babyhawk just doesnt come pre wired for hd camera like insta360 smo 4k. They thought of a mount and tune
@@chrisbee5481 yes, and kinda. I think geprc was aiming for hd camera and staying under 250grams. Eamx was more about stock under 250grams. Beware the go 2 is bigger than the original go. It might still squeeze in, but the face of the go2 is the button, that could be problematic if the mount is uber tight.
