Thanks man, I really enjoy getting lighting and video looking good! I really need to work on audio… lol I use just $40 worth of lights. It’s amazing what cheap lights do.
Nice review. I got my NBD HummingBird F4 V2 about a week ago and have been having a lot of fun with it. However, I am also experiencing OSD dropouts. Not much documentation out there yet, but hopefully they'll have a fix soon.
the Infinity Loops review mentioned that as well and if I remember correctly a suggested fix was lowering the CPU load on the FC. Whether that's through disabling unnecessary OSD elements, slowing the PIDloop or anything similar
@@wynnfpv - did this ever get fixed? I am thinking to buy either second Mobula 7 1S or this little guy. On a fence a little bit. I wonder if this problem with OSD dropouts is fixed by now. Thank you in advance!
Interesting to note that they dropped the 4 addressable LEDs from the V2. But the solder pads and resistors are still there…. Also I’ve realized noticeably better flight times on the V1 with BLheli_M firmware on the ESCs, even with the original 4 blades props.
@@wynnfpv I haven’t been writing down notes lately. I’m going to have do some more flights to take some down. My v1 is in the 4ish minute range while the stock V2 is around 2:45ish, maybe less.
How would you compare this to the Mobula 7? The Mobula says it has a 400mw vtx and this has a 25mw is that correct or is that just the camera. I was looking for something I could fly around my whole house upstairs and down
Hey I’m not sure because I haven’t had the mobula 7 yet. I would like to get one to compare but haven’t yet. 400mw would be nice. My friend had the mobula 6 and I definitely like the hummingbird better. The camera was the most noticeable better on hummingbird. Sorry I’m not much help because I haven’t owned one…
Would you recommend this as a first tinywhoop for someone who wants to fly indoors? My first FPV quad was a 2.5in for outdoor flying, I wanted to learn some control outside where I couldn't break anything dear to me. Now I've been eyeing this one and want to make sure it's easy to control in tight environments.
Hey thanks for your comment. Yes, if you have an elrs transmitter this whoop would be a great option. It flies very locked in. They are currently out of stock but I think they are getting some in next week or in two weeks. I’ll be making a binding video also for getting the whoop and transmitter bound.
Yep I've got ELRS, I've specifically been looking for an ELRS whoop. My only concerns with this one is the 25mW VTX, when I see the new ELRS Mobula6 and Mobula7 can go up to 400mW I think. That and the OSD issue, which hopefully they will resolve before they come back in stock.
@@saharmesri1810 yeah I understand wanting 400mw. I don’t know how big your house is. For a regular size home you’d be fine. I would definitely upgrade the battery connector no matter or you get the hummingbird or mobula6
@@wynnfpv Yeah it's not huge but it's really rectangular-shaped, so I need 3 wifi access points just to get good coverage inside and in the front/back. I'm concerned distance from one side to another through all the walls is an issue. But you just gave me a great idea. Even if my current quad shouldn't be flown inside, I can turn it on, the VTX defaults to 25mW, and just move it to different parts of the house by hand and see if I still get reception on the goggles. I also want to fly in a warehouse space I have access to, that one has no walls or major obstructions.
Oh and yeah, I still have two PH 2.0 batteries that are in good shape so I'm gonna probably use those till they die and then buy new BT 2.0 batteries and update the connector.
What headset and controller are you using and headset, I’m looking a a good racing drone and gear at a cheap price, and I would like to know what you recommend.
Hi i sorry but i had a question to ask have you experience drone sputter on this thing because i replaced the board and it still sputter when not level so i was thinking it was something to do with beta flight but i have seen no settings when it on a flatsurface one or 2 motor sputter and when it stables it will be able to fly i know it not the board because i replaced it already so i came here to see if you had an idea what it could be i was thinking it was the jumper tlite controller it self but i really just dont know
I am new to FPV. I have a controller with a. E8 transmitter called transporter two from Emax so is the goggles and I either wanna get this with a V3 I don’t know if it’s compatible
Your Emax E8 transmitter is running the FrSky protocol. This whoop/drone is running the ELRS protocol so this whoop won’t bind to your transmitter without adding an external rx. NBD does have other whoops with the built in FrSky protocol receivers and I will link those here: newbeedrone.com/products/newbeedrone-acrobee-beebrainbl-brushless-v3-bnf-frsky newbeedrone.com/products/hummingbird-f4-1s-brushless-bnf
ELRS 3.0 says i need to update the FC to BF4.4, there doesnt seem to be a 4.4 build for this hummingbird_f4_v2_65. Did you have to do this? please help if you have time. thanks😊
Hello, mine was able to bind right out of the box. I didn’t update any firmware on the fc. You’ll put it into bind mode by typing in bind_rx then you should be good to go. Let me know if it doesn’t bind.
You must've still been on elrs 2.x. These spi boards, so far, only support elrs 2.x. Still waiting on NBD to officially release a BF build for these FCs to support elrs 3.x. For now I flashed elrs 2.5.1 in my module to be able to fly this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ok last thing will the DJI gov goggles v2 work with the drone or no. And if not can u tell me everything u used with that drone. I’m new to this hobby so Don’t mind my dumbness
@@stern4552 your fine, glad to help out. So dji is digital and this whoop will be analog for the FPV system. Digital is mostly on the bigger drones so far. It will become more available for small drone when the technology advances and they can make it lighter. On this one I use a Radiomaster Zorro for the transmitter. I made a video reviewing it. For FPV I use the dominator v3
Nicely done man. I need to step up my camera work to your level lol

Yes, I’m also hoping for a fix because I’m having the same issue. I know the guys at NBD are working on a fix as of a couple days ago.
@@Wild_FPV I haven’t tried that yet, that hopefully would help until we get and updated firmware!

That is interesting. I’ll have to check my flight time comparisons now that you mention it! How much flight time are you getting?

Yes it would work!

Hey, I’ll send you the ones I use. This is the transmitter newbeedrone.com/collections/radios-new/products/radiomaster-zorro-radio-controller-elrs
For goggles I have the fatshark dominator v2. They aren’t to bad on price. Right around $250

Where is the bind button on the drone
You’ll just go into configurator and type bind_rx and that will put it into bind mode.
@@wynnfpv would that be on beta flight and also does it work with the DJI goggles as well as the DJI controller
@@stern4552 This drone is running the ELRS protocol so you will need to use an ELRS transmitter or an external module for ELRS.
Ok last thing will the DJI gov goggles v2 work with the drone or no. And if not can u tell me everything u used with that drone. I’m new to this hobby so
Don’t mind my dumbness
@@stern4552 your fine, glad to help out. So dji is digital and this whoop will be analog for the FPV system. Digital is mostly on the bigger drones so far.
