Another great video on the tinyhawk III plus. I did the previous xt30 upgrades from your other video and I'm loving it thanks again. I will also be doing the hdzero upgrade from this video too
Thanks for the support. A 100ufd to 200ufd should be fine. I have used the following pigtail with a low ESR cap already soldered on from Amazon and it works fine: www.amazon.com/QWINOUT-Capacitor-Sailfly-X-TRASHCAN-Crazybee/dp/B07ZPZBPLL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1THR9Q8Y2L83Q&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zkTnfgvKMujUL8CJIo1ubQ.C0oY00FwOR5SyeJG59SYh_7qBrXl2J0js65fmnqAuBY&dib_tag=se&keywords=QWinOut%2BXT30%2BPlug%2BPigtail%2BPower%2BWire%2B100uF%2BCapacitor&qid=1726624897&s=toys-and-games&sprefix=qwinout%2Bxt30%2Bplug%2Bpigtail%2Bpower%2Bwire%2B100uf%2Bcapacitor%2Ctoys-and-games%2C122&sr=1-1-catcorr&th=1
I have the analog version, went into betaflight and changed to 400mw, decent range but it struggles when i go behind my house, any way to improve range on the analog version?
The antenna mod will also work with the analog version. It does two things, first it is a better antenna and second you can position it above the batteries for less signal interference. Lastly, trying a different band and channel (e.g. Race band channel 8) if you are getting Wifi interference (above Wifi frequencies).

Hi, Could you please share the link for antenas? And what antena replacement should I use for the googles (I have analog verion of tinyhawk3 freestyle)?
I use the Foxeer Lollipop 4 on the quad. Amazon link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WLCFM5H It is Right Hand polarization (most common). I would assume your googles have RHCP antenna's as well. Point being check to make sure (labeled on the antennas). If they are, I would not worry about changing them out. I would start with the quad first. Cheers, SLOG
Nice, but gotta ? You installed first gen. DJI Caddx Vista on your Pavo 25, thought they where only capable to link with DJI V1 AN V2 goggles an the black DJI V1 remote. You are using DJI GOGGLES 2 AN I think the V3 remote. Did not think they would link together? Thanks for the video an thumbs up.
Hi Thanks for the comment and thumbs up. Actually this is a HD-Zero VTX. I have all three systems (DJI, Walksnail and HD-Zero). Yes I am one of the crazy tech junkies when it comes to FPV. Cheers, SLOG
I crashed my TinyHawk 3plus freestyle and the peace that plus for the wire that connects from the drone betaflight , has broken on top of the drone what name of the board that broke on the drone my friend?
Hi @BodyTransformerss, That is the flight controller with the USB-C port on the top. Here is a link to the part on Emax's website: emaxmodel.com/collections/tinyhawk-iii-plus-freestyle/products/tinyhawk-iii-plus-spare-parts-pack-c-all-in-one-aio-fc-esc-elrs It looks like it comes with motor connectors soldered on so you will either have to de-solder connector or add a connector to the end of the motor wires. Here is the replacement parts URL as well emaxmodel.com/collections/tinyhawk-iii-plus-freestyle I hope this helps, SLOG
How did you attach the motors? The frame has some crazy screw hole configuration that isn't standard. I have tested a bunch props on my freestyle and found Gemfan 2540 2.5x4.0 to be the best, whisper quiet and I get long out of each pack.
Hi, the hole dimensions and spacing are actually standard. What is not standard is there are only three screw holes so it really looks weird. I think they went with 3 screws so they can skinny up the front arm strut to lose some weight. I actually have some Gemfan 2540 2.5x4.0 and will have to give them a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi @mdasadalihaidar1920, As you probably know, just adding a larger capacity battery does not mean you will get a linear improvement in flight time. You will need to do some experimentation if you are more interested in flight time vs flight performance. You also might consider building your own Lithium-ion battery as they have a higher energy density than a LIPO and you can run them down to a lower voltage. The disadvantage they have a lower C rating which means they are not good for freestyle. Here is an article from Oscar Liang on improving flight time. oscarliang.com/improve-fpv-drone-flight-time-efficiency/ Joshua Bardwell on picking the right size battery. ruclips.net/video/1S2JKzZq9ZE/видео.html SLOG
@@slogfpv5679 any chance you picked up the dji o4 lite? Curious if it can drop into this frame :). I have the hd zero version and would love to replace it with dji. Appreciate your opinion!
Man this video is awesome man. I really appreciate it. I bought my TinyHawk 3 freestyle plus and I only got to fly three times once I crash. It fell apart antenna broke. I no longer can put it in beta flight because the part on the FC board broke so I cannot connect to beta flight so I have to buy a new board and by the way, do you know where I can buy a new board from?
Sorry to hear about your crash.

Great video! What ESR capacitor is appropriate for the XT30 upgrade? This is such a huge help.

Can we increase the flight time to 15-20 minutes by just getting different battery?
