LEARN TO FLY FPV | Emax Tinyhawk RTF Kit (Pt 1: Unboxing & Setup)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Oh man, I've been wanting to try out FPV for a long time! Emax reached out and said they were developing a ready-to-fly (RTF) kit that included everything you need to get started - tinyhawk quad, fpv goggles, transmitter, and battery/chargers.
In this video (part 1 of a 2-part series), I show you what comes in the Emax Tinyhawk RTF kit, go over the software betaflight, and some beginner setup tips.
Hopefully this video was helpful if you've been wanting to get into FPV too but don't know where to start. Don't forget to catch part 2 below!

Pinning these tips/updates since I can't edit my video:
- ANTENNA ANGELS: Put the antennas at a 90 deg angle from each other to limit dead spots.
- POWERING UP GOOGLES W/O ANTENNAS IS FINE - Goggles can be on with no antennas, it doesn't matter (it's just receivers), it's the VIDEO transmitter on the drone you don't want powered with no antenna, as all the power bounces right back into the amplifier circuit and overheats it quite quickly.
RC Girl. Awesome videos. I bought a Tinyhawk a couple weeks ago. Mine loses it signal however at about 60ft from me, whether flying in of sight or fpv. Your video looks like you have way more range than that. Might you have heard of this problem? What range do you have with yours? Thanks
@@gmess1984 make sure to pull the antenna on tinyhawk out from under the white cage a bit so it's visible and not getting any interference. That might help
@@RCGirl t
Thanks for the tip. I did pull the board and relocated the antenna. Hoping that does trick. Can you tell me in your opinion how far you think the range is when you have flown it?
@@RCGirl oh, and Happy Thanksgiving...
@@gmess1984 thanks you too!
Not at all drone related, but kudos to your obviously-happy Money Tree in the background!
So cool to see you getting into FPV. Before you know it you'll be flying 5inch miniquads. This hobby has improved my life greatly, best thing ever!
It's actually the video transmitter (vtx) that you shouldn't turn on without antenna on it. Goggles are fine, you just won't have very good reception.
I was about to say the same hah. The transmitter puts out power and the way these are made ( as small and light as possible) they have like no cooling and rely on the antennas and ridiculous air flow from the props to remain cool. Without an antenna the VTX will fry quite quickly, with one you have enough time to setup and take off.
Receivers on the other hand are literally just receiving and as such take the very little power needed to convert the energy from the air into information your screens can use and because it's not digital there is pretty much if any processing, which is why we don't use digital as it does add to the latency from processing. >;D
Nicely done. Welcome to the FPV side of the hobby. It's a steep learning curve, so hold on tight and be patient. You're doing great so far, keep it up. 👍😊
Thanks!!
Some thoughts:
- Put the antennas at a 90 deg angle from each other to limit dead spots.
- Goggles can be on with no antennas, it doesn't matter (it's just receivers), it's the video transmitter on the drone you don't want powered with no antenna, as all the power bounces right back into the amplifier circuit and overheats it quite quickly.
for the most part this is an awesome review of this product. i believe it will help many new people approach this hobby. great job!
Similar here. I was put off by a lot of complicated reviews that,as they were hard to understand, limited their audience. Nice to see an easy to understand review.iv just ordered one
I like how you went over the batteries--. How to charge and all that. Nice job
Super helpful; even 2 years later and with the Tiny Hawk II. Especially the comment about just trying another cable if you are having trouble with Betaflight!!
I'm not sure where we would be in the world of technology if it wasn't for folks like you that take the time to make these tutorial/informative videos. Thanks.
I forgot to post a comment when I first watched this video. I was trying to figure out how to adjust pids for my Tinyhawk. It helped me out and I got done what I needed to do. Thank you RC Girl.
Thank you for making such a chill informative video. I just unboxed my TinyHawk, so this is super helpful.
Wow your videos are pretty nice and useful Keep going 👍❤
Tiny Hawk + Mockingbird v3 = BEST INDOOR WHOOP EVER! LOL
Oh wow! Welcome to the hobby! 👍
The video antenna on the Tiny Hawk is tucked away inside. You can move it to be outside the canopy. Antennas on the goggles can orient anywhere. Won’t matter
Ahh got it, thanks!!
One improvement would be to replace one of those linear antennas with a linear patch antenna.
I've seen a few people mention other channels for starting, Joshua Bardwell is great, Albert Kim, Painless 360, Nick Burns, Gal Kremer, AndyRC, are all great and can get you any information you need on anything with FPV and rotors. Starting out its a lot of info to take in and the more you fly the more you will want to learn and that's where these guys are great. Good luck and welcome to the FPV family
When girls explain something technical there always so cute😊.
I ordered a tinyhawk rtf thanks for the review
I just bought one. Have been wanting to get into this Hobby for quite sometime. Thanks for all the helpful info😊😊😊
I hope RC Girl loves doing this youtube work! You are great and super helpful! Thank you!
Awesome I’m still trying to wrap my head around my radiomaster settings still working on getting my tinyhawk to fly!
What a nice intro to Project Mockingbird, and betaflight...thank you for being so helpful...all the best..chris
I just got into fpv and this video really helped me set up my emax! thank you so much for your hard work on this vid!
Damm girl!! rc girl!! I loved it and subscribed
Thank you for explaining all of this. Helped a lot
Thanks for sharing. I purchased the Tiny Hawk Freestyle, has it been a journey trying to get everything working. Didn’t have the controller come with mine. Had to get professional help lol
These drones are great but I ended up scraping the transmitter and replacing it with a betaFPV lite 2 and replaced the goggles with a set from eachine ev100.
You can power up a video receiver without an antenna it won't hurt anything. You just wont get any range. Video transmitters or any transmitter for that matter can be damaged when powered without an antenna.
Ahh got it! Thanks
Thank you for great intro into fpv (and also rc stuff such as betaflight). I just ordered my first drone and your video gave me tips, which is essential but not often discussed in other videos around ;)
You have no idea how long I've been waiting to see you start making FPV vids hahahaha absolutely wicked vid as always. I want to really get into this side of RC so deff going to be paying attention lol...keep up the great work as always. 👍👍👍
Vary nice. I'm thinking about getting into this, I have several line of site drones but no fpv. Thanks nice video and information.👍
The antennas are always suppose to be straight up. Is the best way to get full signal.
Welcome to FPV!
One thing about this niche hobby is the great informative community. This hobby can be as tech or as simple as anyone could want. Enjoy!
A very good video, and I especially liked the links for tuning the tinyhawk. I watched a couple of reviews, and just ordered mine now! It looks like a great winter hobby for me (until summer gets here) as I am in Minnesota! Thanks a lot, and I am onto your second part video.
Awesome, it's a great starter kit!
Just ordered one last week, should be here Tuesday! :) first FPV drone! Is it good for beginner (still)?
I love your channel and this video was amazing!!!
I’ve seen people who also have the Tinyhawk 2 (CAPTAIN DRONE is one) but they are able to remove the prop guards (eventually).....? Have you found this to be the case...?
Thanks in advance, love your channel, and don’t forget to keep smiling! :)
Thank you RC Girl you saved me a ton of headaches lol. I am getting this setup for $160 it’s a good deal
That's a decent bit of kit, i had a parrot ar but this has fpv!
Great job as always, straight direct info.
RC Girl, We just got a tinyhawk 2 'bare' - no controller or goggles. It came with the same battery charger that appears in your video.
Are there any special safety precautions on charging 2S batteries?
- The 2S battery has two leads - do I plug them both in or just the larger one?
- Can we use all 6 connections at same time - 3x1S and 3x2S ?
- When do we use 0.2A, when do we use 0.6A ?
Thanks
I loled at the “extreme berserker mode”. I’m gonna rename Air mode in my OSD to that.
i'm looking at this or the similarly priced hubsan jet . is this better than the hubsan?
Great video 👍🏼 Thanks!
Good rc girl
I really liked your first tips, I also asked one of these for me, I'm a drone pilot DJI, but as I have no experience in fpv, let's see how I do !!!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing
I loved it and subscribed 👍😊😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
Great video just got tinyhawk 2 RTF bungle, simulator with Tannins QX7 hooked up to practice, how did you get started flying LOS or straight into FPV?
If you want to avoid the problem with the rc transmitter interfering with your wifi then check if there is other firmware for the transmitter.
In Europe (EU) RC transmitters are now required to have "LBT" firmware ; that stands for "Listen Before Talk" .
It does exactly that; it "listens" to hear if the channel it wants to "talk"(transmits) on is free/ silent.
Once confirmed silent it will talk if not it moves to the next channel or wait a little.
just got one today almost lost it twice in the grass. The little alarm on the drone isn’t loud enough to find it😏. Flight time is really bad. Still trying to decide if it was worth the money.
Very nice RCG been flying los for months & this looks fun & rtf, everyone but me has one, and i suspect its about time.Shhhh dont let them know 🆗😁 Very good review as always, clear & understandable & fun. See 'ya in part #2 👍
about that battery connector; the "polarity" (positive/red, negative/black) is not a standard (the colors are) in this type of connector.
Check with other batteries first if the red and back wire are in the right place or you can damage the quad.
If you press the small flap inside the connector down you can pull the wire out and change the location around.
Well after an hour of charging I finally tried it. It took me 6 seconds to ram my face with it and cut my chin open. Not trimmed at all and very slow to respond to control inputs.
Thanks for the video. Just ordered the drone rtf, so looking forward to flying it. Great channel, subscribed. Cheers RC Girl. :)
Do you also can fligh without al these settings
Pretty awesome way for people to get their first FPV experience. It can be so frustrating for people who are learning. It is so addicting though as you progress. Nice video!
Right? I was like...how does anyone learn this hobby??? So much to know. I had a lot of people online helping out with info, but for someone that starts from scratch. 🤷🏼♀️ I think it's easiest if you have friends in the hobby to learn from, but hopefully this kit will help get noobs like me flying quickly
Cool you do the FPV too, thats my favorite. I like flying.
Can you use it in a simulator by connecting the drone to the computer and using that to connect your controller with your Mac?
I’m not an expert, but I think that PID/rate profiles are not the same as Modes (angle, horizon and acro), as you said in 12:12
Apart from that, I think it’s a very solid review that can attract many people into this hobby 👍🏽
Excellent video! Betaflight can be overwhelming. I'm still learning it myself. I missed the rate profiles so I made a follow-up video to discuss them. I was confused why it sucked so bad in acro then I realized it was in rate profile 1 (beginner's) so it lacked the thrust to fly in acro. I use a Taranis with mine which works really well. I worry about the RTF controllers being responsive enough for acro. My biggest issue with the Tinyhawk is the props. They fly off very easily from a crash and they include no spares and finding spares in-stock online can be a challenge. Great job Hayley!
Yeah they can pop off easily. Already lost one! And yep, it's hard finding them in stock online. And now that it's almost Chinese New year, it's gonna be a few weeks longer at least!
@@RCGirl emaxx USA may carry them. Darn Chinese New Year really holds up stuff lol
@@RDsRCReviews checked last night and they were out of stock 😩
@@RCGirl yep, they have been out of stock for a while which sucks! You do an excellent job reviewing drones. You need to do more. I see your PO box address in your channel info. Thinking maybe I'll mail you a GPS drone that I reviewed because I have no use for it anymore.
Really great video! I like your content a lot since it's on the level of where I am at as well. Actually, I'm even newer to FPV. I didn't go with a bundle like the EMAX setup, because I do know that I love flying already. I just went the wrong route by buying a "cruiser" type drone in a beginner package like the EMAX. I bought the Eachine E511S to be exact. It's a great little beginner package, but not my speed at all. Anyway, I added that to say that I don't mind investing in gear that will be able to be used across many whoops and eventually 5" kwads, while also lasting longer and giving me a better experience. I am already using a FlySky Nirvana NV14 on a SIM. I just bought an iFlight TurboBee 77R. I really like the build of it, it's pretty much a shrunk down 5". Carbon fiber frame and even a mini-stack in it, but it does have the prop guards for the inevitable crashes. I'm looking at the Eachine EV-200D goggles. I like the dual receiver module bays and the wider FOV. Keep up the great work. You gained another subscriber and bell ringer today! Happy flying!
RC Girl doing drones now... WEEEEE... awesome sauce.
Haha yep, it's a start!
Lol light show is right. I just hit the v2 RTF but ya, I can’t for the life of me figure out why the empty slots LED’s blink like crazy, it’s alarming at first and made me wonder if I had something plugged wrong, or the switch in the wrong position... but apparently there’s no good reason?
I love my tinyhawk. I beat the crap out of that thing. Dog bite marks broken parts and it still flying lol. Great review!
Rave light show? How do u know about raves?? 🤔 earlier years
Not sure I’m confused or not but the profile 1/2/3 on the left drop down bar are preset “speed/angle rates” .
Profile 1 is very slow great for first fly indoor .
I didn’t change any pid numbers but just selected profile 2 . And it flys a lot more aggressive. ( but still using the stabilisation mode on the rhs tx trigger switch )
Quick question RC girl did you have to reset your aux channels after the mockingbird CLI input?
Seems like a better version of my Vusion House Racer kit.
Looks fun!
I'm about to fly my Tinyhawk! If you like FPV maybe you should get some better goggles. I get decent range with my EV200D. From what I recall the transmitting VTX will burn itself up if you fail to put the antenna on first. The antennas on the goggle do not matter. Receivers burn up every slowly!
Great video, very informative.
za urode wielki, gruby, sztywny kciuk w górę 👍😜. Dziekuje za pożyteczne info. i pozdrawiam.
Great video! Excellent price for a full starter pack. You're a pro
Thanks, yeah it's a great inexpensive way to enter the hobby!
thanks for the video are there other batterys on amazon becouse they are sold out
9:20 Your micro sub cable has to be capable of data transfer. I think the one you tried at first may only be capable of charging. Great review! I just got a tiny hawk 2, my first drone. I’m almost ready to send it back. It flies off in random directions and is uncontrollable. The online instructions are pretty much useless. There isn’t even an explanation of how to properly use the battery charger or in what position the switches should be in for which battery.
Did you find out a way to stop the transmitter from turning off the wifi
Looks like a nice set-up for the money.
cool channel great to see you getting into FPV :)
Can you swap out the antennas on the goggles easily?
That's a cool drone especially for the price. I got a little tiny indoor drone for Christmas from my brother and it's been a challenge to fly, but still fun. I would like to learn more about this fpv drone.
It's a ton of fun, been flying every day this week!
The charger is for LiHv batteries, but the replacement batteries are LiPo. The charger is not compatible with LiPos as it will overcharge them and possibly start a fire. I could be just being over cautious though. Maybe the charger is dual compatible but the manual is timing out when I try to download it online.
This is correct. The charger doesn't have a 4.20/4.35v switch like my Snapper7 charger. 4.35v will ruin standard lipos. I just my Snapper 7 LiHV lips and they work great even though they are a lower C. However, standard lipos should be fine for angle mode but I'd want LiHV for acro.
Ahh right good point, I didn't realize that. Actually the extra ones I purchased are HV but since they didn't have any more in stock on Amazon I used a different link, which isn't high volume. I'll have to change that!!
@@RCGirl Glad I could help. I bought similar LiPos a fortnight ago and luckily noticed in time. Keep up the great work :)
Li-Po's are 4.2v when fully charged. It's really not worth skipping on HV's for this class of quads. Just buy HV's.
@@RCGirl GNB 500Mah OR 450mAH HV4.35 80/160 c batteries are the exact same batteries emax rebrands. 2 for 14 on amazon stay away from non HV Lipo batteries, HV are still Lipo just higher voltage to someone up above. anyhow i love mine, you gotta get a better TX though, the stock one is toy grade and doesnt have hall sensor gimbals, it flys better with a x7s or other Frsky controller
Why does it turn your WiFi in the house off? Noticed mine stopped working too when I had it plugged in and turned on, but didn’t connect the two things being related.
lots of options with this , great review
Thanks!
1:52 to 1:59 😂 been there done that and believe me you will regret it. Keep up good videos.
What antennas to run on the goggles? And will it even make a difference on a cheap pair like these.
Hi brand new to the fpv world I've just got the tinyhawk it is 2nd hand do you think it's worth calibrating
Just subbed! Great content! Gunna order one now.
It's a fun one
Thanks for the info! I love my Tiny Hawk when I can't get out to rip my 5" quads :)
Now it is time for you to add a little camera to one of your planes or cars :)
Both antennas should be straight up. Those aren't great antennas but should be fine given the short range on 25mw.
@@RCDevotee ahh thanks for the info!
@@RCDevotee Yep, so how does camera compatibility work? If I have the emax googles, what types of cameras will work with it?
@@RCGirl Any camera will work as long as you are broadcasting on 5.8ghz which most systems do. I am sure the receiver in your goggles can receive the 48 channels most use. There are quite a few all in one camera and vtx combos out there for cheap that can be powered off very small 1s batteries. Horizon even has one I think made by Spektrum. Many of the plane guys I chase on Sundays have camera systems they just stick on top of even a UMX sized plane.
The antennas are supposed to offer recieve diversity. So laying one horizontal and the other vertical makes good sense, much like the antennas on your router. Nice video and good to see a woman doing this :-)
Have fun with it, sky is the limit with fpv
What is brushless motors?
Help! I flew my tiny hawk 10 flights and lost my camera mounting screws, and yes they had a tool pack but with only one screw. Do you know what the size of the 2 screws are? or do you know where i can order some replacements?
I just got the Th freestyle 2 but when I arm it just beeps . what should I do ?or maby thats beeper mode .i put left switch 2 click forward it did not beep but it won't fly
About antenna's these "linear antenna" are the most "sensitive" to the side and the least at the tip.
Pointing a antenna in the direction of the transmitter is the worst angle and will give the least amount of signal.
One antenna vertical and one sideways horizontal is a good setup.
I'm not tryna make a joke but do you mean like this...

Hi , is it possible to edit the video you get to make it HD?
I’m looking into breaking into the FPV world and am considering the Tinyhawk, but quickly want to move up to building and flying my own 5 in quad. Do you know if the transmitter for the Tinyhawk can be linked to a laptop for flight simulators? I know I will eventually want to upgrade controllers, but would like to start with a flight simulator. Great video. Thanks!
I'm not sure about linking the controller to a computer...but in betaflight it does connect wirelessly to your computer so it has me thinking it's possible. but I'm not sure what sim to go with.. anyone on here know? I have RealFlight 9 for planes mostly, but it does have some quads in it too
Just discovered that tronage has a whole video how to do this, and you were right, he does it through beta flight!
ruclips.net/video/AoQL2f2rEWQ/видео.html
your eyess are absolutely captivating,almost hypnotic.Oh to be young again.Love your vids, been flying for more years than I care to mention.
i have one my self and i dont know how to in stall beatflight on my computer
Hello what is the difference emax ez??? 1 antenne
I got the four blade props from Emax. Flip over after crash works and more stable
Oh sweet I'll have to try those!
Wait so you set it in betaflight to "flip over after crash" and you have to use the 4 blade props for that function? is it these ones? bit.ly/2Wi3eBf
Yes those are the props. Not sure if you can do it with that radio. I have a Taranis qx7s.
Wat plug does the battery have
Can anyone help with how to pair HDO Goggles to the Tiny Hawk?
I cant get mine to fly, it just makes a lot of beeping noises and it wont fly. Cant find any video to help.. What am i doing wrong?
Hey are these the fpv goggles you use on the trx4 Thanks👍
Good stuff! Thanks!
