I love this mini drones becaue I can fly at more crowded places without disturbing people to much. For example my DJI FPV drone or T-Motor freestyle drone just make so much noise and go so fast and far. There are not many places in the Netherlands you can fly them without disturbing people. Smaller drones on small pieces in the dunes, it's awesome.
Your freezing your butts off over in North America, were having the mildest January I've ever known here in the UK ,it was cold the first 2 weeks of the year, but the last 2 it's been really mild , normally it's cold tell march but at the moment it's a tale of the weather on the eastern Atlantic🌞 and the western Atlantic .🥶 Looking forward to the winter Olympics and the snowboard cross ,best event
A new small Flywoo drone! A new version of Flywoo Firefly which is the new Flywoo Freestyle Firefly 1S with better motors and new carbon fiber frame that flies beautifully! It is very fun to fly these FPV drones at home as they are tiny and can go through the most confined places! But, it was going to be most welcomed if it came with an RTF kit!!!
Thats cold! Blizzard today, windy, cold, but not that cold. About -11c so far. Its all about indoor flying these days! The props on small drones like this can cause some pretty good finger damage. Dont think I would fly that inside. It does seem like a good flier over all. The upgrades look pretty good. Still waiting to see someone put biblades on it!
Hi Steve, It’s your fellow Ottawan and follower! Thank you very much for a great video. I have the Firefly 1.6'' Baby Quad HD, but I’m still tempted to buy this little guy! I have a lot of 1S batteries and my TinyHawk 2 is getting to its end of life. It would have been nice to include prop guards like they did with the Baby Quad. I realize it’s smaller, but the prop guards are not that heavy, and would come handy for indoors, just in case you bump into something that you know your better wife would not be very happy with you. Cheers, Sam
I think they made this more for outdoor flight so they did not think prop guards were necessary. Us Canadians do like to fly indoors during the cold winters.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I don’t know about that because as I mentioned they did include the guards on the 1.6” Baby HD and on the their HD Hex which are both bigger and are also made primarily for outdoor.
The LEDs are amazing. With original Firefly and this. Have both. I put the LEDs on Larson Scanner with the color of my choice. Looks more like a "firefly" when flying at dusk.
Would you be able to do a video of how you bind up the old Nano baby and/or new Nano shark to the transmitter? Did you have to configure the elrs receivers off expressLrs configurator program and use a binding phrase? Recently bought the Nano baby and cant get the drone to arm in beta flight or bind to the lite radio 3 it says binding is not supported in the drone/beta flight cli . Or if there is some software that I am unaware of? Great videos!
ELRS keeps changing so that is the reason I have not yet made a video. Once they stop changing how things work and agree on a standard then all will be well. For yourself, all you have to do is put the drone on the same firmware as your ELRS RADIO 3 (that is the simplest way to bind). Ask betaflight what version of Express LRS they Lite Radio 3 is on and then when you know it, take your drone and update it to the same firmware in Express LRS configurator via Wifi. There should be plenty of videos showing you how. The other simple way is to cross your fingers and hope they are both on the same firmware now, then just put your drone in BIND mode by plugging in a battery quickly 3 times (plug it in, lights come on, remove battery.... do it again.... then on 3rd time leave battery connect and drone will remain in bind mode, then try the bind on your radio).
Nice! Instead of a GoPro or Insta camera, how about replacing fpv cam with Caddx Turtle or Loris, or Runcam Split 4, or any fpv camera that captures hd videos already.
I have the previous version and is alot of fun but the cameras are not my favorite. Still running bi-blades on mine. So quiet your neighbors will never hear it.
Can't wait to convert my dead cat to a true x and 3 bladed props gonna keep the 16500 IV motors tho was thinking about putting on some 0802 25000 kV motors ??? What cha think ?
Steve I have a few questions I saw there is an option for frsky will bind with the frsky lite or the qx7 receiver ? And can I use the regular batteries from the tiny hawk I think u said it comes with an adapter , I would like this little drone , thanks for all you do. 🙏
I think it is an SPI FRSKY which I have never tried. You can use any 1S batteries you have and may need to get an adapter from Flywoo or off Amazon to match your battery ends. When the video was made the drone was not announced in Flywoo so I had no idea what comes in the box, but you can check that now.
Hi Steve… Loving your videos-thank you! Looking to purchase my first-do you have a recent video with a current set of models with must-have features first- timers? Much appreciated!
If you want to get into the FPV hobby which is different than the beginner CAMERA DRONE hobby then I suggest you watch my series: CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS
Hey, Alan. As Steve said, the FPV for Beginners series is the way to go. I watched the entire series more than once and has helped me personally A LOT. Once you watch the series and then start doing research on current drones, radios, etc. go back again and watch the individual episode that you are researching and things will start to make more sense.
DJI goggles and DJI radio controller only work with DJI products and this drone has no DJI products in it. You’d have to buy new gear to fly this FPV drone.
Hi! Did you get the quad with the ELRS receiver? If so, did you have to flash it? The reason I ask is that, I read that the external module and the receiver have to have the same firmware. Is this true? Ty for your time!
Did you type this without watching the video??? All ELRS receivers and transmitters have to be on the same relative firmware version in order for them to speak to each other. I flashed both to bring them up to the latest firmware.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 With all do respect, I just watched your video AGAIN. You did not mention anything about flashing the latest firmware. If I missed it twice, then I apologize. Do you have a video how to flash ELRS receiver on a new drone and the radio? Thanks for the help!
@@pmagilke It was your first question of asking if I had the ELRS version, which was mentioned in the video, as well as the Radio and ELRS transmitter used. I don't yet have a video on how to flash because the ELRS system is open source and it keeps changing every two weeks, so if I make a video one week, that procedure is probably no longer applicable in two weeks. Eventually they'll come to a common standard in the ELRS world.... currently it seems every manufacturer is trying to pump out ELRS controllers and drones and the standard keeps changing.
If you put a battery that gave you 20 mins on this miniature drone you'd be in the guiness book of records... not possible. No such thing as a range extender in the FPV hobby because range is based on the radio and receiver and anennas you use.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 When I get around to putting a Korg Nutube on my bench I plan to see how cold it can operate. Instrumentation tubes are actually quite small, strong, and powerful as well. I'm not quite as old as your father but some of my teachers definitely were - my soldering teacher use to tell us stories about going out to remote sites to work on big transmitters where his most important tools were a chainsaw, blowtorch, and sledgehammer. Use the chainsaw to get to the site, the blowtorch to unfreeze the lock, and the sledgehammer to knock the door open so you can actually fix what's wrong. I was like "why tubes" He said "because semiconductors don't work reliably when below freezing temperatures" On die heaters have been around a while, I don't think it adds weight to the chip unless it makes it bigger.
DJI FPV Goggles require a drone to have either the DJI AIR UNIT or the CADDX VISITA unit. If a drone has either of those, then you can use the DJI FPV Goggles.
Hm i have standard version and i didnt fly it yet waiting for Zorro... But from video to me standard version seems more fun - flightime... Seems to me he didnt even acro inside and flightime was like 1/4 +/-
Please watch video again and don’t skip through it. Flight time indoors is over 3min when using a 350 mAh battery. Flight time outdoors was impossible due to -30 Celsius temperatures (the flight controller froze). 8 mins is the rating with a 750 mAh battery outdoors.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you. Oh yes but standard version gets like cca 6-7 mins on 450mah if i remember it good to me seems more fun than littlebit extra power (but thats personal preference). Outside time i didnt count it was really in freezing cold... I did watch whole video ;)
Yes. You would have to ensure that the receiver in the drone is on the same firmware as the betafpv controller, then they will bind. Any analog goggles will work.
@@jaysuwu2423 they are all the same. People buy ELRS transmitters to fit on their radios or now you can buy radios with ELRS built in. You sound rather new at this so perhaps do some research on how to set up an ELRS receiver and transmitter because you’ll need to know that.
My was a turd. Basically unflyable out of the box because of the horizon drifting. Not my first quad either. Had I hopes for this thing but.......hopes were quickly dashed, especially considering what these go for compared to others on the market. I' mean you basically have whoop motors on a slightly more expensive frame and and AIO board.
Yikes! Horizon drifting? Perhaps you mean something else as in the FPV hobby it is 100% up to the pilot to fly and control the drone. Now if you come from the world of GPS drones or altitude hold drones where the drone sits still in the air and you can release the joysticks, then I understand your confusion. This is certainly not such a drone.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I am specifically talking about the horizon drift that occurs on an FPV drone like this that is either due to bad accelerometer, bent props, bad PID tunes, or anything that else that causes excessive vibrations to the accelerometer. Normally, you can adjust the lowpass by putting it to "acc_lpf_hz = 1" and that should cause it to ignore most vibrations. Now, if I crashed this thing I would accept that maybe the crash broken something..........but it flew like this new out of the box.
Mine is ELRS; they have an error on their website retrieving the user manual for this model, I opened a ticket with Flywoo. Also like was mentioned in this video (I watched after purchase), the batteries are very specific to the connector on this drone. In other words you can't go buy them at a hobby shop or a battery store. If you don't order them with the drone, like I didn't do unknowingly, you either switch out the connector or wait another 4-6 weeks for them to be shipped. For a simple drone it's been super complicated- coming from a newbie. Feedback for others re: the Firefly Freestyle. I do love your channel, everything is super helpful and detailed!
@@SonicFlyte By your reply I can tell you are very new to the FPV hobby which is why you will not find others commenting with the same issues. First , batteries are not specific since this is the FPV hobby. We all use whatever we wish & most in the hobby have a pile of everything and plenty of go between connectors for batteries we get from Amazon. Second, ELRS changes continuously since it is open source. It is by far the most confusing for a newbie to figure out. In your case, the drone was built in the era when ELRS was one way, so trying the current way to use ELRS (bind/configure) won’t work. Binding on this drone can be done by placing the drone in bind mode simply by attaching a battery three times in a row… attach once, when you see lights, remove battery. Do the same thing again, then on the third battery connection leave it connected and you are in bind mode. Everyone in the FPV hobby started at level zero and we all thought why is it so confusing. After awhile, and doing plenty of research, our heads filled with enough knowledge to get by. Keep at it so you can pass on your knowledge to the next newbie to the FPV hobby.
Thank you! Yes very new; I have spent a lot of time trying to learn. Figured elrs would be best and easiest; I have a Zorro transmitter, also elrs, stuck there too. Everything set up right so far, all the switches, but at the end trying to bind, on page 2 'setup' the 'Receiver' line doesn't have the '[BND]' option. I can change the receiver number from 00-63, nothing else happens. Maybe next weekend I'll factory reset this transmitter and start from scratch. I'll get there, thank you for all the great info, much appreciated!
@@SonicFlyte There are vids out on ELRS and Zorro. To setup a drone in the radio it is identical to my Zorro setup video for the 4 in 1 radio, except when it comes to receiver type you select CRSF (crossfire). Then to bind you press the SYSTEM button & select the ELRS script item under TOOLS, then scroll down to bind. I’m writing this all from memory so hopefully I didn’t miss a step & mess you up.

I got a few drones everything from DJI to 6s but the 1s nano baby is my favourite byfar! And it doesn't give a crap about a bitta wind fly's well!
yep amazing how fast things change , we went from brushed to brushless and now it seems micros rule the air
Cool video from the drone

Hi captain drone I was wondering what is a good fpv drone under 300 dollar and comes with everything.
Just my two cents worth.
Have a look at the GEPRC Tiny Go.
It's a good one.
Can’t fly smoothly on a 1s in angle?
Open propped are risky for indoors use tbh.
Man I just bought the old one

You can upgrade the motors on any FPV drone to something that is within the same voltage requirements.
