I think this is going to be a tough sell…there are plenty of lighter analog bnf’s that don’t really struggle with durability, and the new battery connector adds an unnecessary expense for most.
Which whoops do you feel fit the lighter and durable niche? I ask as most commenting on one or another have strong feelings about the lack of reliability.
I personally have had great luck with the air series as far as durability. I’m not saying this emax won’t be more durable, but rather that I don’t feel like that’s something I really need, especially at the expense of this much weight.
It is nice to get everything together, and I started fpv with a very similar kit from emax. However, I would encourage someone new to the hobby to look at something like an air65, radiomaster boxer/zorro/pocket, skyzone cobra setup and learning the betaflight/elrs setup process. If you stick with fpv, you’ll most likely replace every piece of this kit.
This is targeting entry level pilots. Which makes it even more annoying that they put a different connector on there. Newbies will learn on this, buy more packs for their connector and then when they decide to grow into a better quad they will realize none of their batteries will work and they break the bank again.
Again, you delivered a thoughtful review and always a fan! Emax Emax...Emax, they love rubberbands for battery mounts, if they didn't do this it would NOT be Emax. Proprietary battery connector? Not surprised and sure ain't mad about it. And a tanky whoop? Don't cry about it, build your own....but AGAIN, Emax, lol. 😂 I have a Nanohawk X, love it. Why? It is quiet, fast and was on sale. Oh, no jello too. Downside? FRSKY, cuz ELRS. ALSO got 3 Nanohawks! All slightly different. Breakdown: 1) Bone stock with AZI bi-blades on BetaFlight. 2) Not stock at all with AZI tri-blades on EMU-Flight. PMB tune 3) Stock build with stock props on Quicksilver (65 mm preset). No Acro mode, just angle and horizon! I brought them all out to play. Two of the three had jello, unsure why cuz when I put them away months ago, ALL three were Jello free. Most people hate them for just that reason, Jello! But those stock props work great until they don't and usually the cause for jello (wavy video). Cure for most issues is a prop change and checking the screws for "tightness"... Anywho, if done correctly, excellent flight feel and CAN handle the outdoors with a slight breeze rather easily. They aint long range and I have much faster whoops.... But again a nice park flyer. Will I purchase this new heavy weight whoop? Of course 😊
I started in FPV back in April. I ordered the EMAX analog goggles as my very first goggles. I dont wear glasses and the screen was blurry fully extended. I found a 3d print on Thingiverse that's an extender for these goggles which got the picture clear but man the goggles were enormous on my face. I would skip these goggles as a beginner and spend a bit more. I got the fatshark scout goggles and what a difference and much smaller and image was in focus not to mention dramatically better range.
@@NickBurnsFPV I bought them on Amazon a couple of months ago for 180$ they are 199 right now so yeah they are almost double the Emax goggle. I remember going cheap at first cause I wasnt sure how much I was going to like getting into the FPV hobby but I regret going cheap now lol. I have an Avata 2, Air 65, a 4 inch LR, and I just built my first ever drone a 5 inch, an AOS LR drone as well that flies 15 mins on a 1000 mah LIPO with O3 air unit.
LMAO - I just watched twice all the way through, still didn't catch when the giveaway is happening. I was making the attempt to answer your Google doc- my ADD is winning this morning. Thanks as always for your contributions to the community. I don't even fly micros but I send so many clients this way because of how outstanding it is. Family friendly, quality info, great look at every quad you review. Love that you fly the crap out of everything and really push the products! Thank you thank you sir!
Your reviews are always amazing! I just can not get behind proprietary products (Emax is well known for). I really want standard mounting and connections - or as close to it as possible. I'm definitely an advocate of durability, though. Man, your having all the fun, thank you for sharing. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Great vid. I like all of your vids and love the format. When I watch your vids I know exactly what I'm getting. I like that. I'm taking notes for my own channel as well.
Awesome flying and review, Nick!!! 😃 But new battery connector? Ok, it's open source, but the GNB connectors are as well, so... I don't know, but it's pretty weird. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Emax are such contrarians when it comes to battery connectors. It's like one of THE biggest reason I never bother with their products. Before they'd release just ph2.0 connectors on their drones, and yes, I can swap it out, but I don't wanna, now they are going with some other thing that isn't compatible with what most other people have. Bah. Annoying company. Guess they just don't like money.
I've used BT 2.0 in those new emax connectors and they seem to work and fit just fine. There's a flat end and a rounded end just like BT 2.0 and the only difference really is a little gusset in the middle.
@@bryanteger I think you are talking about GNB's A30 connector which is as you described and does work with BT2.0 batteries. This is a wholly different connector from EMAX.
Hahaha. The "More wine" sign up by the jar of corks! 🤣 As a father of 5 (3 girls, 2 boys) I feel that 1,000%. As far as this video goes, Emax does a pretty decent job with their kits. Beginners can't go wrong with these.
This looks like the end of the Tinyhawk series of whoops - or at least moving that line in a different direction. I can see me using this drone as a travel whoop - wherae I'm okay with a bit if extra weight because I'm not racing and I don't carry tools to repair stuff.
Would love to see a teardown video of this. I'll be passing on the quad, but curious what the FC and VTX weigh on their own. Decent whoop FC's without a built-in VTX are getting rarer these days.
@ that is so awesome that they all play. I play 5 different instruments as well as produce electronic music. I always love to see that others play. I always told myself that if I ever learned a sixth instrument, Cello would be it!
@@ZeroVoltFPV Nice. We have a pretty well respected cello teacher in town. They do concerts 3-4 times a year. Sometimes is classical, other times rock, country or anything. Its pretty cool and interesting. The cello group our daughter plays in has all ages and during some of their concerts others the teacher knows from the region come and play as well.
@@NickBurnsFPV That is fantastic! Having such an involved community is magic. I am sure I will pull the trigger and buy a Cello within the next few years or so. Learning a fretless instrument is certainly next on my list.
Nick, I question another new battery connector unless they can prove it's a that much better connection. That could be a deal breaker unless one is willing to change the connection to Bt 2.0 or buy all new 1S batteries just for the one whoop. I have the Emax Pilot Pro, It was a great for beginners package and was my first live flying, which helped me learn a little muscle memory. These are just my thoughts. Once again, I appreciate your straight-up review. For the price it is a great starter kit.
We could make adapters, which after the fact is likely why they included extra em2.0 connectors. But I suspect this is a decision not based on those in the fpv hobby/market currently.
I wonder if EMax are aiming for the beginner market where durability matters more than weight. If so, perhaps we won't see a Tinyhawk 4 whoop in 75mm. All my 65mm drones are lightweight "send it" drones, though I do appreciate the tankiness of the Tinyhawk III whoops when my dog wants something to chase and chomp.
Almost impossible to find a video of just the nano scout BNF. All you creators always put the kit on your videos which is super easy to do since it's already bound and ready to go it would be nice if somebody did a video of the bind and fly to show binding and setup of everything else.
Oh, and here we are again with a quad that has totally inadequate "into prop arc" placement. This should NOT be an afterthought!! Maybe thats why it "needs" 400? 😂
@@OranJuno oh sorry. I was going to start flying it this weekend but with the snow hitting this morning, that plan is on hold. Certainly won't have any reviews out by tomorrow.
It's a shame they went with a new connector that I don't see any other battery manufacturers adopting. That is actually why I think this whoop/kit is bad for beginners. They won't be as savvy soldering connectors onto lipos or other whoops and they will not be able to just go anywhere to grab some lipos. Always like their goggles that come with the kit though for the removable screen. Great review nonetheless Nick!
Seems like a really tough sell to me. Over $100, nothing specifically special, and a weird battery connector? Too much, too little, and I don't care if the connector is open source if it isn't widely used. On top of all of that, emax is using ai music in their ads for it. Kind of a turnoff in my book.
Hey Nick. Whats your throtlle values look like and throttle mid/expo. Cheers Also. When im on 1s i know to come in around 3.4V etc. When im on 2S i get a bit confused as the voltages are different. Is there a best time to bring in the drone on 2S, 4S, 6S?. A way to calculate?. Thanks very much
I think the throttle on my radio goes from 988 to 1022. I don't use expo. If you use the average per cell voltage instead of battery voltage the warning is more easy to "compute" while flying. I have a video in the video description on my rates as well as the video reception setup
The biggest benefit to owning EMAX as my first FPV, is learning the hard way how to filter out antiquated products. If you're new to FPV and don't know what to buy, follow these guidelines for your first purchase. When buying an aircraft this small, only buy a drone with BT 2.0 or A30 (same as BT) battery connector. PH 2.0 on this EMAX is outdated AF and avoiding it helps you to avoid outdated products. Look at the receiver protocol, make sure it's either ELRS or crossfire. Stuff like FRSky as featured here, or futaba, 4 in 1 are all outdated. Again, this helps you to filter out antiquated products. The remote in this package uses FR sky, so it's terribly outdated and won't work with anything you want to buy down the line. For $20 more you can get an ELRS Radiomaster pocket and can use it with a $100 tinywhoop all the way up to a $600 Nazghul. Plus it's like 300% better of a radio for only 40% more money. The goggles are pretty decent for the money. It's the only thing that still works from my original Emax kit. I still use them to this day for analog craft, but I would purchase them separate and just piece together your own kit, instead of buying this package.
Connector is EM2.0 and is literally brand new. It has a larger pin size and lower connection resistance than BT2.0/A30 and GNB27. But unnecessarily so, and is also unnecessarily heavy. I would change it out for BT immediately. But I'm also not their target market. The E8 radio is ELRS and stock has MUCH better gimbals and ergonomics than the pocket, but everything else is way worse. Otherwise I 100% agree with your sentiment.
For reference, I have tried and worked on basically every product that they have made, as I teach people to fly and their stuff is relatively common. After recently giving away the Emax HDZero monitor and D8 radio, which are somewhat passable products. The only thing of theirs I currently own are the RS1606 motors. This is probably their only ACTUALLY good product.
That's why you don't get any runcam nano 3 emax took all hahahaha. Btw trimming you can in the FC with a stick comand JB has a video out I think it called calibration and it's with an other emax whoop.
@NickBurnsFPV Accelerometer becous you said correctly don't use the trimm on the radio. So I remember the video from JB to fine trim it with the stick comand : throttle full and trimming with the right stick at the opposite site then the quad is drifting. That helped me a lot so I thould I share it for some beginner so they can use that to fine trimm their copter 😉
Nice review nick! I’m saying this because I know it will be lol. I still don’t understand why emax doesn’t try to follow the trends. What I mean by trends is innovation. I mean their stuff is alright so I guess their stuff appeals to beginners mostly.
oh I still crash, but its down to about 50/50. some flights are full of crashes others not so much and then we have full flights or nearly 2:30+ of flight without crashes. How....I just fly and fly often. A matter of practice I guess.
Why would someone get this over the EZ pilot pro or Tinyhawk 3? Not a negative comment. Its an honest question. Looking at their website I think the other options are better so not sure why they added this to their lineup and its more expensive than the ez pilot. I'm also honestly stumped why they never made the Nanohawks in RTF kit packages.
@NickBurnsFPV i ment coming in this late in the game is just a total 100% fail... If they offer a battery that is as good and way cheaper then id retract my statement... But i doubt their giving away sub standard products....
well, the battery connector brings a big WTF to my mind. what kind of move is this... if i want this quad i need a whole new set of batteries that probably theyre the only one to sell and then i need another goddamn charger because finding adapters for this is probably going to take a while to be mailed in coz there is only one seller and he lives under a rock in china.
Maybe they feel this is a good fit for the STEM or other similar groups where one person is "in charge" of multiple others in FPV? Maybe there is some other target group I am not familiar with
i hate this company more than DJI and their dumb proprietary stuff. at least DJI makes stuff actually worth buying, jesus christ. still enjoyed the video though!

Nick, What’s your best choice in Whoops, in 65Mm and 75Mm? 🙏
air series if you want the lightest whoop or mobula... They are very close so its your choice
For me and how I like to fly, only considering the flying. 65mm - NBD Hummingbird v3.1 racespec. 75mm - betafpv air 75
Why would they change the connector? I'm guessing that is just a money grab so you have to get new packs and charger... Lame
It would be interesting to know the why, but I don't know.
🆒️
Don’t be ph2.0 please
That battery connector is massive fail... Just too late
The batteries are going to have to be cheaper and just as good performing as those we have been favoring.
@NickBurnsFPV i ment coming in this late in the game is just a total 100% fail... If they offer a battery that is as good and way cheaper then id retract my statement... But i doubt their giving away sub standard products....
@@DigitalCruzer sure. Gotcha
08015 👊🏼
well, the battery connector brings a big WTF to my mind. what kind of move is this... if i want this quad i need a whole new set of batteries that probably theyre the only one to sell and then i need another goddamn charger because finding adapters for this is probably going to take a while to be mailed in coz there is only one seller and he lives under a rock in china.
Maybe they feel this is a good fit for the STEM or other similar groups where one person is "in charge" of multiple others in FPV? Maybe there is some other target group I am not familiar with
i hate this company more than DJI and their dumb proprietary stuff. at least DJI makes stuff actually worth buying, jesus christ. still enjoyed the video though!
lol, not laughing at you but to a degree with you. Now tell me how you really feel :)
Your thumbnail is so stupid but funny
lol, pretty bad. Couldn't figure out how to get everything in one picture.
@NickBurnsFPV 🤣🤣🤣🤣I LOVED it
