I had initially gotten out of the hobby when tiny whoops were starting to gain popularity (and were still brushed). Coming back into the hobby my first quad was a TH2 (the white ducted one) and I have owned at least 4 of them because I loved them (and they are kinda trash on the electronics side). My last TH2 malfunction frustration led me down the Mobula 7 route mostly because it boasted ELRS capability. And boy do I thank you for sucking Emax. This little beast ROCKS on 1S! Superior range, pretty decent video (with a micro loli in place of the dipole) and super tight handling right out of the box. My first Mob7 ended up in the bottom of the lake. So I ordered 2 more.
Started out on TH2 as well but just had it flew away due to electronic malfunction (I think). Just put in the order for Mobula 7 too. Great to hear that I didn't lose the TH2 for nothing :)
Incredibly helpful video thanks! I did the binding in Betaflight that you mentioned, all I had to do was set the radio ELRS to use 500Hz instead of 1000Hz, on my RadioMaster Pocket. This allowed me to bind without having a battery in the drone, which means I didn't need to remove props during binding.
I just ordered one of these. My Tinyhawk 2 is a POS that won't arm half the time when I try to fly it. Unfortunately all of my ELRS is 915mhz so I had to also order the 2.4ghz module. I'm looking forward to getting this. I have been so busy or it's been so cold or rain & snow that I have barely flown anything in a few months now. This thing will get me back in the air.
Newb here. Got about 8 flights on mine so far and I am impressed. My starter was a TH3 but the VTX ant got messed up, so got one of these, along with the Zorro elrs controller. Super fun drone and the VTX range kinda blew me away compared to my Baby Ape Pro.
Thanks for the info. If you remember awhile ago I was looking for a dedicated elrs controller. Now that has happened, I'm thinking about the Zorro with elrs, and making this my first elrs drone.
Hobby wing USA sells it pre bound to jumper t pro elrs, now for 199$, it's almost too hard to resist. I went with eachine 800dm there smaller and have diversity. Love the video
Great video this video is been out for year and is the first time watching it and the reason is that i got me the mob7 . My came out with the crossfire receiver but i took it out and i install a elrs receiver. I think that i have to do some setting in mine to make it flight better thank you.😊
Hii Thanks for rewiew. I have mobula7 elrs and I like it. The problem is I fly with smartphone in vr googles with sky droid usb adapter. How this compare with dedicated fpv googles in image quality etc ???. I fly fpv for 1year and a half without dedicated googles.
Just got my new one 7/12/22 the PIDS /dump are different to the Happy Model download dump and different to what's on Oscer Liaings site. What is the correct PIDS/dump/.This new 1s is gorgeous but confusing.
Nice demo. I wonder what antennas you used for the Skyzone 04X. They looked like Foxeer Lollipop but the Mobula 7 VTX antenna is bipolar. Not sure if we get the best VTX reception with the mismatching antennas
@@HalfChrome Thank You for your timely reply , i understand it's difficult to explain or draw a picture for a newbie but it's nice to know someone actually reads their comment section ..... Thank You again !!!!
Hi, which variant will have better penetration through brick walls and concrete? If you stay on the first floor of a 3 level house, who will have a better penetration, crsf or elrs 2.4G, flying throughout all these house's floors and around it?..
It should work with the lite radio assuming they run the same ELRS versions. I haven’t been impressed with the Lite radio to be totally honest but it’s cheaper than the Zorro.
@Half Chrome thanks jack👍🏽 yeah I have been going crazy trying to decide on what radio I want to start out with elrs I only like the lite 3 elrs because it looks alot simpler with binding to quads with elrs but I love that darn zorro though 😫lol after months of waiting to pull the trigger on a whoop I finally find this one is the one I want and now I can't decide on a radio lol thanks I appreciate your input ✌🏽
I ordered Zorro elrs to start with sim. But already lokking for drone and goggles. But I want dji goggles. Can’t find a combo with mobus and dji fpv video transmitter.
Hi you mentioned a beeper, does it come with an actual beeper I went to ban-good and didn’t see it in the description, if not can you add one, will be nice if flying outside Thanks
Hey I have this exact same drone and I have the zorro as well and I can’t get them to bind? I hit bind receiver and then go to expressslrs and hit [bind] and nothing happens? I’ve tried flashing and all that and it just said failed I have no idea what’s going on there’s no way that binding the mob7 and zorro is that hard
@@HalfChrome yes I am sure Okay after a lot of research I’m sure it’s just that they’re not on the same version Where do I go to check the elrs version of my rx as well as my tx?
I'm currently trying to remove and replace the battery lead on this flight controller, has anybody else encountered some type of adhesive over the ground and 5v solder joints?
@@HalfChrome The attractive part of a Moblite7 is the flying time. You mentioned you get about 4 minutes of flying time with a 450mAhr battery on the Mobula7. Do you know how many minutes you get with a 650mAhr battery on the Mobula7?
What goggles module would I need to fly a mobula 7 1s elrs I currently fly a DJI fpv and I want to buy the BDI adapter for my DJI fpv goggles so I can fly the mobula 7 1s elrs but I want to make sure I buy the right goggle module for the BDI adapter that’ll work with that particular tiny whoop any suggestions? Sorry if this question is oddly worded this is my first time flying outside of digital and wanna make sure I get one that’s compatible.
I got a really good and needed question: I wanna get the LiteRadio 3 whit ELRS 2.4ghz module. can it than connect to the mobula 7 1s while I set it up just like you in beta flight but just without connecting te controller
By any chance did you put bluejay on this one yet?? Just asking because I have a mobula6 with bluejay when works great, I can’t get it to work on the 7 1s., appreciate it
Straight from happymodel it has to be bluejay 48khz and min startup 1100 and 1200 protection. I didn't know that at first and spent an hour trying to figure out why the motors wouldn't spin up at 96khz default everything.
I bought from Good Venture Drones based on your recommendation. I'm having a lot of trouble getting the drone to arm and fly. I can see in Betaflight that the drone responds and my RadioMaster Zorro sticks are moving. I believe I have binded/bound successfully. But the drone won't respond!!! Any advice? Was this why you had to change your first drone?
@@HalfChrome Yes ARM is on channel 5. I followed your video as closely as possible and set it up to your configuration. And Yes, the sticks are responding fine in Beta flight. I can see them move left and right as I move my controller. The drone is also bound well to my Zorro. It has 4 full bars and all solid red lights. The issue is when I connect via battery. I ARM it and then I try to fly but it simply does not respond outside of Betaflight! Any thoughts?
I bought one, based on this video! Mine doesn’t work. Video range is about 6 inches from the goggles at 200mW. What’s wrong with it? Un-flyable except line of site.
@@HalfChrome yup. All those items checked. I even checked my VTX table against the freq & BW on the datasheets for goggles & VTX. Antenna is also attached fine. I'm out of ideas of things to check.
Hey man, nice review! Combining this guy with lite radio 3 + elrs nano + ev800d would be a good deal for a complete beginner(never tried actual FPV before except a bit of sim with ps4 controller)? Or would you recommend change something? I like the spi elrs + 400mw stock options. Thanks in advance for any advice and keep rocking these vids!
@@HalfChrome thanks 🙏🏻 how is the T-pro? Any good? Zorro was on my wish list as well but wanted to start with something cheaper that will connect to the pc as well
Excellent Review Video Jack. I Just Don't Like The Flickering, and Propellers In The Video That You See In The Video Transmission From Some Of The FPV Drones. Thank You.
Just bought the ELRS version and had nothing but trouble. The USB connector kept disconnecting in Betaflight because the connection between the USB cable and port felt really wobbly. I tried 13 leads and only one was a decent fit. I got it all set up as per instructions and then the ESC on motor 2 blew out. Just wondered if anyone else has had these issues or do I just have a bad unit?
I have this lil baby coming to me in the mail from Banggood, along with some batteries for my Radiomaster Zorro. I can't wait, it's quite promising looking. I currently am flying about the meteor 75 and I love the way that thing handles, I'm hoping the Mobula7 is similar/better. About the only thing I'm going to do to it is swap out the battery connector if I can.

Yeah I got into drones like three months ago... big difference between f p v RC and cinematic drones. Fpv is big fpv tiny fpv
Wow this was really informative! I learnt some really good things from one or two throw away comments than days of searching RUclips :)
I still use Skyzone Cobra X. Can't beat it for the prices
Yes they are solid
Thanks for the info. If you remember awhile ago I was looking for a dedicated elrs controller. Now that has happened, I'm thinking about the Zorro with elrs, and making this my first elrs drone.
It’s an awesome combot
@@HalfChrome does this item include goggles as well? or should i buy seperately?
Drone only. No goggles
Why did Mobula7 change from allowing either 1S-2S batteries to a pure 1S?
A really good question actually
Mob7’s have always been pretty awesome. I’m super sad the v2 F4 Pro isn’t available any longer 😢
I was noticing in my mini 2 s e That the rotor guards, are horrible. Honestly, you need an air jet drone
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations. Looking forward to order my first FPV setup from these
Glad to help

Better than budget goggles.
@@HalfChrome So smartphone+VR googles+ skydroid are better than budget googles.
THANK YOU ALOT Now I know the answer because no one made a comparison.

Hi man, thanks for the review. Please make video stabilization tutorial from mobula7 blackbox to gyroflow 🙏
I'm experiencing this terrible yaw twich and sudden jerking on this drone. It makes it impossible to fly. Any ideas what if might be?
Can anyone recommend some settings to tone this drone down in angle mode?
2.4GHz ELRS SPI ....... what does the " SPI " stand for ?
Serial peripheral interface. It means the receiver is built into the flight controller and you don’t have to add an additional one
@@HalfChrome Thank You for your timely reply , i understand it's difficult to explain or draw a picture for a newbie but it's nice to know someone actually reads their comment section ..... Thank You again !!!!
Glad to help
hi, can the betafpv vr03 goggles pair with the mobula7
Yes. As long as it’s analog version
Yeah but…what version of ELRS is on the SPI and what version does the transmitter have to be just quick start.
It’s 2.0 so you’ll need a v2 on the transmitter
@@HalfChrome Thanks!
Hi, which variant will have better penetration through brick walls and concrete?
If you stay on the first floor of a 3 level house, who will have a better penetration, crsf or elrs 2.4G, flying throughout all these house's floors and around it?..
ELRS. But the VTX is going to be the limiting factor.
Hows it going jack quick question would this quad be a good pair with the lite radio 3 elrs?
It should work with the lite radio assuming they run the same ELRS versions. I haven’t been impressed with the Lite radio to be totally honest but it’s cheaper than the Zorro.
@Half Chrome thanks jack👍🏽 yeah I have been going crazy trying to decide on what radio I want to start out with elrs I only like the lite 3 elrs because it looks alot simpler with binding to quads with elrs but I love that darn zorro though 😫lol after months of waiting to pull the trigger on a whoop I finally find this one is the one I want and now I can't decide on a radio lol thanks I appreciate your input ✌🏽
How do you switch the vtx power?
Use smart audio
I ordered Zorro elrs to start with sim. But already lokking for drone and goggles. But I want dji goggles. Can’t find a combo with mobus and dji fpv video transmitter.
There isn’t one. DJI is too heavy for a tiny whoop like the Mobula
@@HalfChrome I see thanks
Thank you for the great advice
Glad to help. Thanks for watching
Hello! I'm a nooby. Is it possible to record video with sound on mobula 7?
Not from the drone directly. The camera doesn’t have a mic. But if it did all you’d hear was the propellers spinning.
Hi you mentioned a beeper, does it come with an actual beeper I went to ban-good and didn’t see it in the description, if not can you add one, will be nice if flying outside Thanks
No. The ESCs will beep on a switch.
@@HalfChrome Hi thanks for responding, usually the beep coming from esc are not loud enough, or are these a little louder
You can adjust them in BL heli but they are typical.
Hey I have this exact same drone and I have the zorro as well and I can’t get them to bind?
I hit bind receiver and then go to expressslrs and hit [bind] and nothing happens?
I’ve tried flashing and all that and it just said failed
I have no idea what’s going on there’s no way that binding the mob7 and zorro is that hard
Are you sure they are both ELRS? Are they both on the same version of ELRS? Have you tried a binding phrase?
@@HalfChrome yes I am sure
Okay after a lot of research I’m sure it’s just that they’re not on the same version
Where do I go to check the elrs version of my rx as well as my tx?
I'm currently trying to remove and replace the battery lead on this flight controller, has anybody else encountered some type of adhesive over the ground and 5v solder joints?
I use welder glue
Does it work with dji fpv goggles v2?
No
@@HalfChrome thanks for answer , hd zero will?
No
@@SaarTheDevonly analog will work
Yeah you could have an air jet drone with a single compressor, And you steer by pinching the hoses to the legs
I have a question i know its not related to this video but, can the eachine novice 4 do a dive? and can cinewhoops too? the cinelog 25 specifically
You can dive with them but Cinewhoops aren’t quite as agile and would take some practice. They also might have yaw washout
Because of your rave review of the Moblite7, I am looking to buy a Moblite7. Why would you recommend this Mobula7 over the Moblite7?
Yes. ELRS is definitely better.
