I’ve had a couple of babyapesPro IIs which have had similar problems. Great drones but they can be very frustrating. I had to reflash the firmware to get them restarted. Given I had 2 of them with the same problem I think it’s a common thing. Will be interested to see what Darwin have to say. Great video BTW👍👍
It's been a week and a half without reply, I'll try and flash it tomorrow as it's genuinely so much fun to fly, fingers crossed! Thanks for your thoughts
Great review. Been waiting to see one on this little guy for a couple weeks now, and sorry to see it's been troublesome. Hopefully Darwin gets back to you and is able to resolve. I would guess you just got a defective unit. Will wait for an update before I make a purchase decision
@@Wind_Rapport thanks man. Genuinely is a hoot to fly, super enjoyable, even if the landing takes a bit of time to finesse. I agree I suspect the gyro has an issue so will likey need a new FC and all the soldering work that comes with that. I didn't want to release this video until I'd heard back but I have some many videos up coming I didn't have much choice but if it's resolved I'll let everyone know and likey do a further review too. Thanks again
Oh I agree it's fantastic fun when it works haha, I'm still hoping Darwin can offer a solution, the unfortunate thing is my email has not been replied to yet
Have you tried reflashing betaflight? My experience with having 3 of these aio boards is that the code in the memory seems to get scrambled if you run the battery low at all, all 3 of the ones I've had do that, but if you reflash betaflight and set it up again the seem to work untill you run the battery low again, but i don't think you got a lemon, i think you got a normal one, a lemon might actually work correctly... 😂
@@DigitalCruzer lol at the lemon working comment. Yeah I flashed it with about 27 diffrent builds, Darwin replied and I've got an nice little update coming haha
Such a shame I had high hopes for this one after seeing the maiden flight. Problem is the cost I think, cheap parts are more prone to failure. If I was you I would strip the frame and rebuild with better parts and it would make a great pocket cinematic ripper 👍( O3 Sandwich 🤣)
@@BMFPV we can re brand it to the squadding Quads lunchtime ripper 💪. I think your right the gyro is listed as the 6500,never heard of that one before at all. Hopefully Darwin will reply to my email, eventually.
DarwinFPV is the absolute definition of "you get what you pay for." they fly great after you replace the FC/ESC/RX and then shortly after all that, the MOTORS.
@@markwilliams5654 ice tried it on a test with zero movement raised the timing and the moron threshold but it still has the same error, ultimately, I'm pretty sure it's defective sadly
@@squaddingquads ah, I mean that's the harsh reality with DarwinFPV, they don't make good quality products, heard so many reports of them setting on fire, one of my stacks blew up, I don't think I will buy from them ever again tbh
As of yet I have not had a reply from DarwinFPV.
If I do get a reply to my email, I'll keep you updated

I bought the Tiny Ape II and haven't had any problems so far. I've flown about 15 or 20 packs in it so far. Great little quad for the price.

Apologies for the dark scene onnrhw Maiden I think I've found the issue, it displayed correctly on my monitor but goes much darker on TH-cam
I have the aio.. and I haven't had the issue you had.. and I did get an antenna included :-)
@@wva5089 maybe I just got a lemon, without antenna... M
Amazing ❤
That frame has the side profile of a small bulldog pup... Is that not obvious? It's Adorable!
It is, unfortunately, it's just sat on my desk... Grounded, like a dog I guess lol

The freaking song!! Lmfao 🤣 🎶 Tiny Ape!! 🎵
Lol I aim to please and if I can't, then I'll entertain 😂

It's a real shame as its pretty fun to fly, still not reply from DarwinFPV a week later I think is the most concerning thing
100% best to buy a Frame kit and fill with great parts,
good work
@@A19-on4tw thank you
Great video. I just found the channel and subbed.
I really appreciate you, thank you 💪👌
nice! gpt and ableton for the intro tunes?
Not quite, Suno but close enough 💪👌
Love the meal deal 😂😂
@@JediFPV 💪💪💪
has to be still when you plug the battery in for about 3 secs or betaflight wont arm

This one or savagebee? They have the same profile as having a long neck or something.
@@ronaldgomez05 I csnr recommend this is still on my desk not working and Darwin fpv have not replied, is the savage bee 3s also?
Wow
I know
You can calibrate the gyro and accelerometer in the betaflight osd, should of put it on the ground, run through it, and try again?
@@flipsterfpv yeah I've done that about 50 times, different location and ways, unfortunately I fear the board /gyro was defective

Who reads directions these days 😅
Literally no one 💪😂
darwinfpv has bad reliability
Such a shame
wow
