You want a mob6 for indoors, a mob7 1s for light freestyle outside and indoors cruising, and you want a 2s mob 8 for outdoor riiiiipping! Haha. Theyre all super fun and you can't go wrong! Get all 3! Also, they're awesome for part bundles for other builds like I said! I've probably purchased 10 mobulas in the past year and a half and I use them for parts and builds. They're the best!
I have the Mobula6, I upgraded the motors to SE0802-KV25,000 and it rips now, even with bi blade props. I enjoy flying it outside but I can definitely feel it when the wind blows. I want to get one of these Mobula8s and start flying with 2S. Only thing is I don't want to go too big because I have neighbors that I don't want to annoy, so the smaller more inconspicuous quads work better for me.
Not only is this a great whoop as is but it's also the perfect whoop to buy for parts! You can buy this and a carbon frame from jacks 3d printing and then you have the perfect components for a rocket race 2s 2inch or a star lord or many other builds! It's the absolute best and most cost effective way to get all the parts you need for a 1-2s ripper!
Lmmfao 🤣 Ace is ruff on those packages 😂 man I love my mobula7 1s elrs and I DEFINITELY am getting this mob 8 I have been wanting a 2s ripper and happymodel is a great company so this one is a must and you had me at flies like a toothpick 😁 I'm glad it's on elrs 2.0 because I have the literadio3 and I had to downflash my cineape25 elrs because I found that Betafpv is not putting out an update for the radio to bind to anything other than 2.5 and lower smh this is a must have great review man✌🏼
Just for the onboard SDR, I still prefer the Larva X HD. Does woop at well so it can fly indoor. It'd a pain a swap woop/toothpick so I guess you mostly would use one or the other and almost never swap.
I agree. I have the analog as well and it was the most fun I’ve had in a while. I got into FPV in 2015 but had a three year break and just getting back into it. Just like in the past after flying the Mobula 7 and now the 8 I came to a conclusion that to enjoy flying outdoors you need at least a 2 inch prop and the M7 is tough flying outdoors but fun indoors. In the past the tiny hawk was my go to since I live in NYC.
I am really in doubt of buying a Mobula7 vs a Mobula8. I'm still a total beginner in the world of FPV. I have 0 experience flying actual fpv drones (only flown heli's in the past, and DJI drones) I do have multiple hours of experience on a sim. I will probably mostly be flying indoors in the beginning but would love to move outdoors quickly when I get more comfortable. What would you recommend for me? a mobula 7 or a 8, starting with 1s and moving to 2s outdoors?
@@HalfChrome thank you for your reponse! I just ordered the mobula 8 with a bunch of 2s batteries. Do you have any advice for adding a throttle cut to a switch of the Jumper T-lite v2?
i lost 1 mobula 7 hd elrs after some crazy wind.. so sad.. anyway i still left another 1 of it kind, another one mob 7 analog elrs, one mob 7 of walksnail, and two mobula 8 analog tbs..
I have a newb question. I'm thinking about moving up to a 2s but I currently have a good many betafpv bt2 batteries (450 & 550 mah) I'm still learning the hobby, but I was wondering if I would be able to replace the connector on this with the double BT2 pigtail instead of the PH connector that you mentioned and just stack some batteries that I already have ? Looks like it should work.
i have mob7 its 2s , but itty batteries so i put 2 450mah 1s yea its heavy but flies great outside. it doesn't fly on 1s worth a darn. and the 250mah battery last 1 min. plan on getting the 8 elrs. mob 7 is frsky and i just use my qx7
I have a question, flying a Mob 8 analog ERLS version, using a Radiomaster TX16s, with a Happy Model ES24TX module I can go maybe 100 yards before I lose video/connection with the drone. I am using the stock antenna for the module and the drone. Would you mind sharing your radio and drone settings cause if I go around a house or small building or behind some trees I no longer can see the video and or control the drone, thanks.
@@HalfChrome Yeah mate just did that. Had a look in betaflight and it wasn't set to the correct channel. I've selected raceband and channel 4 (same as my tinyhawk). I'm quite new to fpv so i'm keen to learn. Thanks for the reply, top man 👍
Anybody else think "It's good to see that Marty Byrde has finally made an honest man of himself and moved on from money laundering"? Lol. Great review.I just picked up the O3 version and cant wait to try it out. Raining outside so I get to watch you fly it and tell me how good it is till then. All the best and thanks for the review!
Uncrashed FPV sim is way more fun. No cost, no repairs, no battery charging, no ELRS or HDzero config headaches, no cops. Perfect picture all the time, no epileptic seizure inducing static. Just plain fun.
@@HalfChrome But it's not. My first $500 BNF I treated like glass and took super good care of it like it was a Fabrege Egg. Made one flight. Took it home, tried to set up dual stage arming to a Bardwell video, plugged the XT50 in backwards and KAPOW! Just like that, that was the end of my $500 first quad. Instant trauma. I tried to recover buying other quads but it was too late, it was gone. I never knew why I reacted this way. Fall off a bicycle, brush yourself off, get up again, right? Until I had an epiphany one day. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. That's what it was. I had doen everything right. And then just like that, my baby is dead. You don't recover from sh1t like that. Ever. And that is why I think, RC is the.. worst... hobby... ever. Period. Even worse than lawn darts or recreational LSD use. Be happy, be stress free, Fly the sim. RC is grrbage. Your mileage may very, but that was my experience.
@@choppergirl You need to start small, get the tinywhoop, not the 500$ drone. I am starting with the sim and mobula 8. And how did you manage to reverse XT60?
@@HyperMAX9001 Flywoo sourced one on my first BNF quad that had prongs a few mm longer than spec, thereby defeating the very marginal reverse polarity protection of the connector. I have not yet examined it to see if this was because it was designed wrong, or because whoever soldered the leads may have heated them them too long and melted the plastic and pushed them further forward than need be. I suspect they were designed wrong, but I myself have accidentally overheated XT60 plastic with a soldering iron by holding the tip on too long when soldering them when I first started. I switched to flying the sim which is a lot more hassle free. I've put 5000+ hours on the sim and don't care about the RC hobby much any more. It swcks. There just is no more appeal. Once you lose your first child any more, unexpectedly, that you treated like a glass fabrege egg, only to have it blow up on the bench... do you really care to have a second. I don't. Nobody warned me about that trauma. So now I kind of h8t3 RC... worst hobby ever. Nevertheless, I've got 4 other quads I never got around to completing, configuring, or flying... some cheap like you recommend, some expensive. What a total waste of money. Sorry for the book! But that's the way my cookie crumbled and I became disenchanted completely with RC and FPV.
Just gonna warn everyone that this isn’t a good starter drone especially for flying outside. I’m used to carbon fiber 5in quads and I ripped a connector out of the drone after crashing lightly in the grass and broke the frame. Whereas I crashed my 5in quad from 80ft high straight into the ground full speed and nothing on it broke except a single prop. This drone is fun but only indoors

I got one, love it. 2s, i dont think 1s are strong enough.
I love the ace Ventura clip
I made my final choice on Betafpv Meteor85 (2022) and never been more behind my choice. In elrs version she is all awesomeness
My FPV channel is Samsquach FPV it won’t be hard to find on any social media 😉
I have both. They both have similar power. The mobula tune is better but the meteor85 is still a beast.
Im a big fan of any 85mm 2s whoop. Specially around 42g or less
I love my analog elrs version. Going to pick up a digital version next
Me too

@Darkentrophy_ I assume it is the same process as the Radiomaster.
hello. Is it possible to solder the TBS RX yourself? Is there a pin map?
This one, but in walksnail 1s form is on my next purchase list.
He already said it is underpowered with 1s, with walksnail, it will be even more underpowered, and a lot less battery life
Perhaps he plans to fly on 2S
@@HalfChrome Yeah, guess that would work. Thanks for your videos. You and Nick Burns are my go to when I want to know about different drones

can you share the link for the y connector jst to xt30 pls
Hey can you pls link the module on your trnsmitter, thank you
I'm still flying an LDARC ET100 - 2S, 2 inch. That thing's a tank. The Mob8 looks like something I might get in the near future.

nice review bruddah!! Have you tried the Mob8 DJI 03?
I have one. Will review soon.
@@HalfChrome SWEET!! Cant wait to see that video!! Have a good one bruh!!!!
Mobula 8 is so good. Buy!!!
So would you recommend the Mobula 8 for a beginner who wants to fly a little indoors but outdoors too? Having trouble deciding.
Yes. That’s be good. Add a throttle cut.
@@HalfChrome not sure how to do that. Maybe I should go with a different drone?
I want to go digital eventually so does that impact my choice?
Nice review... how does it compare to the Betafpv Meteor85? Same price but battery included with the Meteor85...
They are comparable. I tend to like Happymodel stuff a bit more but the newer BetaFPV is solid.
I got a Mobula 8 but have ELRS 3 on my controller. It’s been a real challenge to get it bound!
Nice video, I'm planning to buy this as my first fpv done, is there any video of how to set and bind this up?
BlueRc did made a setup video (the last mobula 8 video of him) but its full in german, otherwise its the same with setting up all drones
Hi Jack. What Mobula8 with which Rx should i buy/specify if I am using a Zorro 4 in1 Tx? Wouter
If you have the Zorro with the 4-in-1 I would suggest the FrSky version. usa.banggood.com/custlink/DG35bDrvoK Good luck.
@@HalfChrome Cool🤠👍. Thanx Jack.Awesome videos!
@woutersmith7616 you are welcome

It is likely that your goggles aren’t on the right channel or your antenna is not connected. Check those two things
My mobula 8 loses signal very easy. I use skyzone 040 with rhcp and radiomaster tx12. with other quads it's fine.
Did you auto search for your channel? If so use smart audio or betaflight and choose it directly.
@@HalfChrome Yeah mate just did that. Had a look in betaflight and it wasn't set to the correct channel. I've selected raceband and channel 4 (same as my tinyhawk).

does it have the same problem of the mobula6? if u use too much the lipo does it reset the firmware?
I don’t think so
When people fly whoops do they do it in Acro?
Some do. Many fly angle mode. I fly angle indoors and acro outside.
@@HalfChrome got ya 👍 really appreciate you taking the time to respond ✊🤝

Which if you had choose between the meteor85 or mobula 8? (both would be running HDzero)
Mobula
Not sure if you mentioned it but how did you bind it? Traditional binding process? Thanks
ELRS configurator.

Yes
Quick question. Are you able to use Frsky x7 with it? Im confused because it says SPI frsky receiver
