You are a credit to the hobby and I hope you never lose motivation to make these videos as they are in such a relatable format. Thank you for all the time and effort. Sincerely.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Will Kayson Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Well done thanks Nick, I am focusing on the micros and your channel is my favorite way to learn something and see whats coming down the micro FPV community highway. My youngest child is is 22 and i am blessed to be flying these little birds and learning and flying has brought a lot of joy to me when the shackles of pharoah constantly need your attention. FPV flying is as close as you can get to the front seat of a heli/plane. I am also blessed to be learning to fly while building a real plane with my local EAA chapter and have been talking to other members about using FPV flying and racing as a part of our Young Eagles program. Teaching young people to think with a mission focus similar to every time you fly a real plane and incorporating pre-flight inspections for aircraft worthiness, operating your mission in a safe way and debriefing are assets in young peoples lives that will take them farther with these disciplines of building and operating these little birds as well as life in general. I am not personally against Paetreon and i realize being able to share and give away what you are not using or just want to bless your community with, is grossly over reaching by the PC culture of TH-cam Algorithms and totally understand why you need to do something different. It’s whoopin time ;) Shalom
favorite whoop channel. ty for caring so much about the viewers and what we're trying to find out. you should do the discord PLEASE even just if its to pick your brain or hop in the sim so im not so lonely😅
Thanks Nick! I recycle all ziplock/static bags within arms reach of my unboxing/repair bench. Easy to mark notes and possible issues and file away. Nothing gets thrown away in hopes that something in the “ hope to repair” bin needs a donor. Happy flying!
Discord would be a lot of time for you, but that being said, I would love it. You are someone that I respect and since I'm new to the FPV world, I sometimes have questions.
Thanks so much for this info! Mob 6 is my first quad and I’m addicted ! I have the fkysky version and the vtx range was about as bad as what you showed, so I replaced the antena with a lumenier micro axii. The video is great but now I’m getting worse rssi signal and get fail-safed every once in a while in my tiny house...hella fun though I can’t get enough! Keep up the good work your videos are greatly appreciated!
Great stuff as always! Discord could be a good way to bring in a conversation, feedback, or place to host info that would be readily accessible. Another older way would be a forum, but i don't know of any popular drone specific forums. With some of the keyboard forums (geekhack, deskthority) they use a wiki for the readily accessible/easy to find info.
Your wiring for the nano 3 cam is wrong. At the connector it should be Yellow, Red, Black instead of Yellow, Black, Red. That's why the Happymodel replacement is working fine.
@Nick I noticed this same Difference/oversight/QC issue. with my tinyhawk S after upgrading to the caddx eos 2 on there had same issue. the simplest fixes are usually the biggest head scratchers!
That re-set happend to me on my MOB6. I thought i was going crazy lol, because i knew what was there, but now its different. Thank you for sharing what had happened. I got it all straighten out now. Love your videos, you do a great job and service. Thanks again Nick
Regarding the range improvement by replacing the VTX antenna: I tried it, it maybe helped. What really fixed the range issue (specifically frsky with multiprotocol) was resetting the Frsky_spi_offset value to 0 and follow up with a frequency fine-tune on the TX. Also, I found the board I purchased back in March doesn't suffer the sub-3.0volt issue of resetting the eprom ALSO, I had good results splicing a betafpv C01 camera onto the plug for the camera. Works just fine!
I added a 100uf low esr cap to the battery leads. This thing rips so hard now. The battery doesn't sag so much now. Highly recommend a cap to anyone who sees this comment. P.S. Love your videos Nick.
I put the runcam nano3 in my tinyhawk. I had to change the plug to a male to connect it. It worked for like 5 flights then quit working. I put the stock one back in. Now I need to check it with another VTX I guess just to be sure it's dead... Oh and I'm an old guy that doesn't use Discord, but if it helps people I'm all for it. Thank you sir...
Great info on everything. I always look for more flight time so the less blades more flight time comment is interesting. I’m already running 48khz on my mobula 6 and get just ove 4 minutes, but more is always better.
You have a patreon! Hell yeah! Discord ftw, you channel is a niche so I think it will help a lot of people. You are doing great work and always seem sincere and true to yourself. Awsome!
I feel like you do a fairly good job making conversation in the comment section and asking questions in FB groups like owners groups or PowerWhoop group usually gets me answers that I need. Not saying don't makr one, but if it brings extra effort maybe not necessary since I think much of your knowledge is well laid out in thr videos. Fun format actually, sometimes these little topics are good to address but don't need a whole video. 👍
7 out of 7 dudes with Tiny Hawk (S,2,2S) were happy after soldering all those lipo's (520/550mAh) with BT2.0 connectors. (And with the 48khz mod some got more than 2 minutes extra flight time) It's worth it !!!
We have almost the same gear and in same colour! I got the S version of the xlite . I have the skyzone 02c ones though. Got them just before yours came out . If you dont already have it banggood do a bag for about £13GBP that has solid foam for the xlite and also fits those skyzone goggles perfect . Really good small compact solid bag . Look it up
I can confirm that the reset of the flight controller to Betaflight defaults with a battery voltage under 3.0V can and will happen to other boards as well. I have seen this happening to my NBD Acrobee Lite board which is flashed with the latest PMB 4.0.6 Betaflight version (hex from the official website).
Smart audio is in the VTX. So switching receivers does not affect it. As for the flysky, we've had no VTX issues that look like yours. But it does come with a longer antenna than the frsky ones. The built-in flysky receiver is absolute garbage but they kindly included a small full-range receiver that added ~1g but had great range. As for the runcam nano 3, I managed to crash full throttle into a 2x4 and it broke. No visible damage but there is just no picture anymore. Checked all wiring and tested with different vtxs but nothing, so they can break in hard crashes. Unfortunately they are hard to come by these days so I'm still waiting for a replacement.
Discord. I'm watching this video for the first time and thinking what a brilliant idea for this hobby. I can't tell you how many times I've needed a resource like what you've described in this video. I will check and hopefully find you on Discord.
It is still a goal of mine. I had hoped to launch it while I have been working from home. I didn't suspect I would be more busy than going to work each day. I still have plans to launch, just need work to settle a bit first.
Like Discord but hate for you to spend time there rather than your great reviews. Keep up the great work. Did you lengthen the throws on your X-lite? I loved the form factor but I've gone back to my trusty X9D with full size gimbals. Waiting for someone to make the next killer radio with full size gimbals. Tried a lot of others all up to Jumper but switched back to old school cause it works. Tango 2 would have been it for me if I could have added a D8 module, but understand why they didn't go there.
i recently bought a runcam nano 3, to replace my old broken mob6 cam. if you do the replacement pay attention carefully with the bolts, don't switch the bolts for the camera mount to the one that secured the canopy, they're very similar, if you by mistake switch the bolts, the camera wont produce any picture, the bolts for the canopy somehow contact with the components that caused the malfunction

@@fpvnme4845 I would build something like the "ultimate mobula" video, 75mm whoop. FC could be the mobula 6 FC or the new betafpv 1s board. My 40mm prop preference is the gemfan tri blades.
I appreciate the videos ... like your style of videos and keeping it simple and to the point ... I fly 5” and just getting in to the micro flyers currently flying a tiny hawk S and thinking about upgrading the camera on it
Hey Nick since you posted this has there been any updates or work arounds regarding the low voltage “dump” the Mob6 boards are doing when driven down below 2.9v? Occasionally I get a Little overly enthusiastic and fly it close to dropping! I just ran into the problem mentioned in the last few days...TWICE...oops on whoops! Let us know if you come across any fixes...as always great job...you and the family be safe, stay healthy!
Nick Burns thank ya sir....btw any word on the uz65 from eachine....looks like they’re trying to one up the Mob6...a la their Trashcan vs the Mob7...better spec’d blah blah blah....likely as temperamental...Mob6 has been great outta the box...config dumps notwithstanding
Hey Nick kudos as always! Great stuff...question.....what are those Frankenstein 75mm builds? Trashcan frame with Mob6 guts?? Do you have vid on that conversion and flight test?? If it’s anywhere near as smooth as Mob6 out of the box imma try it...tinkersville!
Thanks for the quick reply! Too easy I’ve got a second Mob6 and a V2 frame I purchased a while back...what I don’t have is the HQ whoop props...I do however have a few spare sets of props for my Mob7 and Trashcan...I’ll try those and see if I get anyway near the performance you did (flt time) and let ya know....
So...built it...v2 frame and my some spare Mob7 props! Did you have to add extra grommets? I did IOT get it to sit down tight enough on the frame and hold in the FC....it flies great though started having some RSSI issues out of the gate! Tad frustrating...BUT...took it down into my garage (two underground levels, I live in an old converted industrial mill) and did some proximity / slalom work...I was getting about 4:30 on some really tired slightly puffed 600mah GnB....and a whopping 5:35ish on both brand new Emax 450mah batteries I had on hand...wow...I did flash the ESC with JESC to 48hz....impressive...granted I’m just not driv8ng it as hard as you do indoors but still....
@Nick Burns. after listening to your video I think you are right we need a central place to store data. I think discord is not a good place though as not everyone is a part of discord. Like I might be on your discord but not JB or RR's discord as an example. I was thinking I will start a drone wiki (like wikipedia but for drone info). What do you think about that idea? If you are interested I would be happy to make you a co-admin on the site because you are so knowledgeable.
As I dive in deeper to discord I can see where its no better than other resources. I don't know what I would be a good admin, my time is so limited and being slow editor wouldn't be in the wiki's best interest.
@@NickBurnsFPV wiki it out off off testing and long term experience , logging can help allot with dates , this that happend , after change this its better in this way etc, keep updating like facebook line but per drone , where people can share in timeline the drone expertise and mistakes etc.
1. great video as always. 2. I use the same Frsky radio and yeah I really hope Jumper will come out with a similar style that is just as good because no more FRsky radios for me. 3. Your eyelashes are like mine so the HDO2s will be fine and I highly suggest you get a pair especially what is coming next ;) I have always parallel charged for years now.. as long as you are within .5 v it's fine.. I do 10 bats at a time 1s to 4s and 4 at a time on 6s.. never had an issue.. ever..
Hey Nick, I see the Rotorgeeks battery in the video. Cross boarder shopping I see 😉. Do you have an affiliate link to Rotorgeeks as they are a local shop that I will be using for my supplies. One way I can give a bit of support to the great work you are doing.
You can get PH2.0 solid pin connectors at digikey. Rumor has it that GNB will come out with a PH2.0 replacement in Feb I’ve had a Crazybee F4 Pro v2 (not Mobula6) do the same thing. 😩 Got a small battery powered fan at Walmart for cooling a vtx on the bench
I'm not a patron but I would think it would be a good idea for a discord as long as it doesn't stretch you to thin cause I love the info you bring to the table not to include I love your flight footage but keep em coming and be blessed
@Nick Burns. It looks like your camera that doesn't work has the wires in a different order from the ones that does work? 27:47 the non working camera has the yellow (video signal wire) close to the TH-cam camera. 27:38 The working camera (the black ground wire) close to the TH-cam camera. So the wires are out of correct order?
Which would you say is the most "silent" or "quiet" prop for the mob6? Have you've noticed one quieter than the others? Like I love those avan on the emax Tinyhawk 2 freeStyle.
-The 5 BT 2.0 connectors I bought & soldered onto 5 different 1s brand batteries still seem good Nick. Definitely a bit fiddly to solder but I'm an old noob so surely most people can do it? -I need to try the jesc upgrade, still haven't done it 😢. -for me the gemfan props don't break, I use them in the Eachine Novice1 (3blade) & Trashcan (4blade). I've bent a couple but never broken 1 👍, I just bend the prop back & keep flying. -i would join your discord👌 -i haven't had an impulse to purchase a 1s board, I probably should though as I fly the trashcan on 1s mainly indoors & a a tiny bit outside. -thats odd about the camera!
I was experiencing the firmware reset issue for the first few days using the mobula 6 with stock batteries. I got it most often when a battery was ejected from the quad in a crash. I actually added two small rubber bands to keep the batteries in and allow for some RDQ 525 mA 1S cells to be used (rotated 90 deg to the stock batteries.) You can definitely tell some sluggishness with the heavy batteries, but i'm not good enough for it to matter.
Hi Nick, Finally picked one up. Is there a quick way to lower the camera angle? (It came with a pretty steep angle where you can't see the ground taking off or landing. For exploration type slow flying and freestyle I use a much lower angle. It looks like there is a fat piece of foam under the front of the nano.) Thanks!
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks but mine came with a thick piece of high density foam under the camera that prevents it from being lowered. I guess I will take it apart and tear that off and hope for no jello.
@@NickBurnsFPV Actually I assumed it was double sticky foam, but with some work I was able to get it to slide back with the bottom of the camera as it rotated.... I asked in case there was some discussion on the right way to do it without ruining it, but I managed ;)
Gday Nick, very awsome summary and great way to have a secret ga, Discord would be great with you in it Nick, its a community place to chat and ask questions and to be able to ask you questions about micro's would be very cool considering im on the other side of the globe, Discord is very awsome for pilots not on facebook as well, great job mate.👍🛸
There is also GNB27, I wouldn't invest in BT2.0 unless betafpv quads have your interest. I think ph2.0 is the safest investment but we have seen emax launch the nanohawk with gnb27.
I’m having the same issue your having with your Camera and vtx (with wires spliced instead of directly soldered to each other). Except I’m having that issue with the HGLRC nano vtx. The Betaflight osd shows just fine but no video. Weird!!
@Nick Burns As with the Tinyhawk S, I also had an absolute total failure with the Mobula 6 (25000kv) :| The frame is bent, 3 of 4 motors rattle / vibrate or wiggle the motor bells, VTX range indoor 5-6m / outdoor 20-30m, SPI Flysky range indoor under 7m !!! The extra receiver you mentioned was also in my package. Unfortunately the Flysky versions weighs 1g more + receiver then 2.2g more, of the 19.8g promised 22g will end up on the scales !!! To avoid discussions with Banggood, I unpacked the Mobula 6 live in front of the camera. Would you like to watch my last video how bad my engines sound even without a propeller? In principle, I only have 2 options, either cannibalize or completely rebuild with almost everything. !?! What I can use are at least 1 motor + 1 canopy + 1 Runcam Nano 3 :) :) :)
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks for the tip That with the frame is the smallest problem, I already have a Meteor65 here ;) The other problems are more essential !!! No matter, I have now completely changed my whoops to BT2.0 and I am thrilled. The voltage under load has shifted upwards by 0.2V, e.g. from 3.7V to 3.9V. And the MyLipo batteries are just brilliant and amazingly cycle-proof, but I only use Non HV Lipos !
I had the alternate runcam nano with the female connector. Soldered on my connector so I could use it on the mob6 and it's been through over 50 flights no problem. Now I got a replacement as I'm building a second Ina microheli frame.... Andi Ben iticed.the camera has changed. The lense is a different shape and clearly glued shut with two Dabs of glue ! Should be focusable also
I put a replacement stock runcam nano 3 in when my video went blurry and it works but when I crash sometimes it goes black.. I was wondering if something was wrong with it... Will have to keep an eye on it now that you mentioned having similar issue.
would like to see a discord and see projects you are working on. also I saw u pick up a very interesting product at pyro bc i packed it :)) but my question is why did u get the caddx version since it would fit more of your application?
Do you mean the vista? I have one but have yet to get my act together and get it in something and the other dji gear going. I am so slow, much easier and faster to purchase than use. And thanks for packing all those orders racing out into the wild. We appreciate that lightning fast pyro service.
@@NickBurnsFPV thanks man :D i tried hd like 2 weeks ago and was just amazed i am currently looking to trading in my analog stuff i am really looking forward to your reveiw on the vista since i wanna use your affiliate link 👍🏽
Could you do a video on the different solder connections on tiny whoop boards and the proper way to solder them. We burned a board because we didn't push a wire through the hole style connection, and we were told (my wife and I) that it wasn't getting the proper amps because it wasn't soldered correctly
I bet the non mob6 runcam3 camera needs 5v, where the mob6 version can run on 1s voltage. A fully charged 1s might be just above the minimum threshold, but would soon drop below once you are flying.
I don't think the batteries lasted long at all. Myabe they will get a bigger batch for this next run. They are made in Germany I believe, so we won't have to wait for the caronavirus to be dealt with.
I wonder if it's the difference of an added regulator. Maybe the mob6 part is 3.3-36v and the runcam one is strictly 5-36v. Haven't had that experience yet . Maybe they underclock the mob 6 one so it draws less current. I'd say throw a meter in series with the power and check the current.
Hi Nick! Look 👀 at all the drones you got! How many can you fly at a time? This JESC is new? 🤔 costs monthly too I heard 🤦🏻♂️. Is it better than suite? Or 32? What’s your opinion? Discord? Sure Nick, what ever makes life easier 😉. Us pilots, we can FLY! Anything is possible & positive! Where do I signup? Take care
JESC and JazzMaverick are somewhat new. JESC does not cost for 48khz only, it does cost for ESC telemetry for rpm filtering. The esc we use JESC or JazzMaverick are not 32 bit and therefore don't support 32 esc firmware. JESC and Jazzmaverick bring 32 esc firmware to non 32bit esc.
Nick Burns thnx for answering 😉 So what you’re saying is JESC & JazzMaverick don’t have 32_bit. And this brings it to them 🤔 sounds like same same but not the same 🤦🏻♂️ 🤣🤣🤣 I have a 32_bit ESC from BetaFPV. Sadly I burnt my FC... long story (still has to be replaced though) does feel different, when you set the quad up correctly & to your flying style, the quad is amazing 😉. Watching your reviews on 65“ quads, I’m gonna build 1 with a Emax frame. I‘d like to try the motors/props upside down or whichever frame allows this. & then, gonna go to a mall at the weekend & fly a little Star Wars with ppls legs as obstacles 😉. Thnx again & take care
@@BornIIfly Well its brings some of the software functionality of 32 esc to non 32 bit esc. So to a degree yes, same not the same. Have fun at the Mall that should make for fun and good video.
I saw PH2.0 connectors first used by blade (it was first called MCPX connector in the hobby because of a product of them) and wl toys since the early 2010s or so. Still have my little flybar helis from them (that brought me into the hobby) and love them. So tinywhoop didn't really pioneered that connector
Nick 🙏 sorry, got some thing unrelated to this video my mobula 6 （non hd）just have a hard clash the camera lens just scratch what i do is polish with toothpaste and cotton but basically just taper the whole front part by time🤣 now the scratch is almost gone but i can really focus the lens What should I do It's is run cam nano 3 I can't find the sparepart is it a good idea to buy other 2.1mm m8 lens from caddex Or should I bought a new set of camera
The less expensive possible fix is a new lens, runcam doesn't sell the lens specifically for the nano 3, another m8 lens is an opportunity. I am not overly optomistic this lens will focus exactly for HD recording. The next step is to buy a new camera with the board. You might want to email runcam support to see if they do have the nano 3 lens to sell but don't list it on their site. This is likely what I would do first.
@@NickBurnsFPV hmm I should try that too... Only listen to "The FPV Show" ( Gapit FPV ) sometimes when im repairing stuff :) Maybe repairing is also 50 % faster too LOL

Great vid and format, efficient and helpful as always. - i didn't lose smart audio when I added my own DSMX Rx. - repairing blurry lens - in order to unthread it without breaking it - Use a rounded set of plier with sharp teeth and avoid squeezing too hard. - replacement camera - it does appear that your wiring order is different from the working setup and non working setup. is it that simple? just a wiring issue? - kudos to you for wanting to keep it family friendly. maybe you can send some of the patreon money to some volunteers that can keep it family friendly if it becomes too time consuming for you to do? after all, the higher the dis_cord population gets, the more you'll need admins, and the more money you'll have.
I suspect smart audio wasn't lost as dsmx doesn't use sbus or ibus? I haven't confirmed it yet, but I see where I didn't notice the series the wires are in on the connector of the different versions, rather I solder the color of the wires and not the pin map.
@@NickBurnsFPV i checked BF and my Rx is on uart1 and smart audio is on uart2. I don't remember but uart1 is likely empty by default since SPI is used for the Rx. Different subject, have you chopped the spring detent fingers off your micro usb cable yet? Some cables are tighter than others but I highly recommend doing this to anyone for micros. Make sure to use flush cutters. Pro tip: push back the connector as you cut and it exposes more of the finger and let you cut it at a lower point.
@@NickBurnsFPV yes exactly. Before the mod it felt like i was about to break the frame when trying to plug/ unplug. Now i don't have to be extra slow and careful. In and out with basically zero resistance.
Do they make adapters to just plug into a ph 2.0 to the BT 2 0 instead of soldering? Just a small cable or adapter to plug in would make things easier.
Hey Nick, do you know how to tell if the board is dead? plug a fully charged battery in and OSD immediately warns you "land now". strange candy! coulda been the turtle mode attempt under the dining table who knows!
I presume it won't arm. The "land now" is a warning element of power/battery. If your running HV lipos and have charged to HV we need to check the max voltage on the power & battery page of betaflight, change that value to 4.4
@@NickBurnsFPV great minds think alike! I just got done in betaflight and was able to resolve it with what you mentioned above. thing was I set battery and power overhead for the BT 2.0 4.35v batteries that's why i was scratchin my head.... when it started happening out of the blue. Turns out, SOME... thing, or action, somehow caused my Betaflight install to fully reset back to defaults. Strange candy man. Saved .jsons ftw!
@@NickBurnsFPV That's terrible! completely doable too with vsag. i let it sit for 5 secs up to 3.4v thinking I can make it back into the office room. "WHOOPS"! 🔋⚡
The GNB27 connector is at least on part with BT2.0, we need electrical testing to be more specific. Someone has surely done it. The major issue with BT2.0 is they come on betafpv batteries and they perform very poorly, comparitively. Tinywhoop does have better bt2.0 batteries. BT2.0 could have been successful if Betafpv would have sold the connectors at cost or close to battery manufacturers, or allow them to make their own. They didn't so GNB27 was developed.

Your wiring for the nano 3 cam is wrong. At the connector it should be Yellow, Red, Black instead of Yellow, Black, Red. That's why the Happymodel replacement is working fine.
Good eyes!
@Nick I noticed this same Difference/oversight/QC issue. with my tinyhawk S after upgrading to the caddx eos 2 on there had same issue. the simplest fixes are usually the biggest head scratchers!
That re-set happend to me on my MOB6. I thought i was going crazy lol, because i knew what was there, but now its different. Thank you for sharing what had happened. I got it all straighten out now. Love your videos, you do a great job and service. Thanks again Nick
Regarding the range improvement by replacing the VTX antenna: I tried it, it maybe helped. What really fixed the range issue (specifically frsky with multiprotocol) was resetting the Frsky_spi_offset value to 0 and follow up with a frequency fine-tune on the TX.
Also, I found the board I purchased back in March doesn't suffer the sub-3.0volt issue of resetting the eprom
ALSO, I had good results splicing a betafpv C01 camera onto the plug for the camera. Works just fine!
I added a 100uf low esr cap to the battery leads. This thing rips so hard now. The battery doesn't sag so much now. Highly recommend a cap to anyone who sees this comment.
P.S. Love your videos Nick.
u got a comapre vid ?
I put the runcam nano3 in my tinyhawk. I had to change the plug to a male to connect it. It worked for like 5 flights then quit working. I put the stock one back in. Now I need to check it with another VTX I guess just to be sure it's dead... Oh and I'm an old guy that doesn't use Discord, but if it helps people I'm all for it. Thank you sir...
Great vid! Appreciate the update on the potential negative with the Jesc! Keep up the good work!
Always great content Nick. Good stuff.
Another very informative video, thanks Nick.
Awesome video, Nick! Thanks for all the tips! 😃
About the Discord... Well, I almost never post anything there, but... I would enter. 😊
Great info on everything. I always look for more flight time so the less blades more flight time comment is interesting. I’m already running 48khz on my mobula 6 and get just ove 4 minutes, but more is always better.
You have a patreon! Hell yeah! Discord ftw, you channel is a niche so I think it will help a lot of people. You are doing great work and always seem sincere and true to yourself. Awsome!
Thank you I appreciate the kind words.
I feel like you do a fairly good job making conversation in the comment section and asking questions in FB groups like owners groups or PowerWhoop group usually gets me answers that I need. Not saying don't makr one, but if it brings extra effort maybe not necessary since I think much of your knowledge is well laid out in thr videos. Fun format actually, sometimes these little topics are good to address but don't need a whole video. 👍
7 out of 7 dudes with Tiny Hawk (S,2,2S) were happy after soldering all those lipo's (520/550mAh) with BT2.0 connectors. (And with the 48khz mod some got more than 2 minutes extra flight time) It's worth it !!!
like that with a before and after video same condfitons wouldbe great
We have almost the same gear and in same colour! I got the S version of the xlite . I have the skyzone 02c ones though. Got them just before yours came out .
If you dont already have it banggood do a bag for about £13GBP that has solid foam for the xlite and also fits those skyzone goggles perfect . Really good small compact solid bag . Look it up
Nick I have the HDO2’s and am far sighted. I have no problem with my eye lashes touching the lens. Great info video!
perhaps there is thicker foarm for the face so it wont happen with long eye lashes ?
I can confirm that the reset of the flight controller to Betaflight defaults with a battery voltage under 3.0V can and will happen to other boards as well. I have seen this happening to my NBD Acrobee Lite board which is flashed with the latest PMB 4.0.6 Betaflight version (hex from the official website).
Smart audio is in the VTX. So switching receivers does not affect it. As for the flysky, we've had no VTX issues that look like yours. But it does come with a longer antenna than the frsky ones. The built-in flysky receiver is absolute garbage but they kindly included a small full-range receiver that added ~1g but had great range.
As for the runcam nano 3, I managed to crash full throttle into a 2x4 and it broke. No visible damage but there is just no picture anymore. Checked all wiring and tested with different vtxs but nothing, so they can break in hard crashes. Unfortunately they are hard to come by these days so I'm still waiting for a replacement.
Great info video and man your flying skill is epic!!!
Discord. I'm watching this video for the first time and thinking what a brilliant idea for this hobby. I can't tell you how many times I've needed a resource like what you've described in this video. I will check and hopefully find you on Discord.
It is still a goal of mine. I had hoped to launch it while I have been working from home. I didn't suspect I would be more busy than going to work each day. I still have plans to launch, just need work to settle a bit first.
Hey Nick, great video very informative and useful information. Would love to see a Discord channel if you can fit it into your schedule!
Like Discord but hate for you to spend time there rather than your great reviews. Keep up the great work. Did you lengthen the throws on your X-lite? I loved the form factor but I've gone back to my trusty X9D with full size gimbals. Waiting for someone to make the next killer radio with full size gimbals. Tried a lot of others all up to Jumper but switched back to old school cause it works. Tango 2 would have been it for me if I could have added a D8 module, but understand why they didn't go there.
I did lengthen the throws via the threads. Supposedly the new radiomaster radio should be one to look at.
i recently bought a runcam nano 3, to replace my old broken mob6 cam. if you do the replacement pay attention carefully with the bolts, don't switch the bolts for the camera mount to the one that secured the canopy, they're very similar, if you by mistake switch the bolts, the camera wont produce any picture, the bolts for the canopy somehow contact with the components that caused the malfunction

thank you for all the effort in making informative videos
I appreciate the videos ... like your style of videos and keeping it simple and to the point ... I fly 5” and just getting in to the micro flyers currently flying a tiny hawk S and thinking about upgrading the camera on it
Try the TH2, camera is good and that 200mw VTX makes all the difference. It's a fun Acro outside as well, it will dive haha.
Hey Nick since you posted this has there been any updates or work arounds regarding the low voltage “dump” the Mob6 boards are doing when driven down below 2.9v? Occasionally I get a Little overly enthusiastic and fly it close to dropping! I just ran into the problem mentioned in the last few days...TWICE...oops on whoops! Let us know if you come across any fixes...as always great job...you and the family be safe, stay healthy!
No, only development is HappyModel has posted cli dumps for it.
Nick Burns thank ya sir....btw any word on the uz65 from eachine....looks like they’re trying to one up the Mob6...a la their Trashcan vs the Mob7...better spec’d blah blah blah....likely as temperamental...Mob6 has been great outta the box...config dumps notwithstanding
Hey Nick kudos as always! Great stuff...question.....what are those Frankenstein 75mm builds? Trashcan frame with Mob6 guts?? Do you have vid on that conversion and flight test?? If it’s anywhere near as smooth as Mob6 out of the box imma try it...tinkersville!
Its this th-cam.com/video/6LcPxY8dL1c/w-d-xo.html basically a mob6 with mob7 frame and props.
Thanks for the quick reply! Too easy I’ve got a second Mob6 and a V2 frame I purchased a while back...what I don’t have is the HQ whoop props...I do however have a few spare sets of props for my Mob7 and Trashcan...I’ll try those and see if I get anyway near the performance you did (flt time) and let ya know....
So...built it...v2 frame and my some spare Mob7 props! Did you have to add extra grommets? I did IOT get it to sit down tight enough on the frame and hold in the FC....it flies great though started having some RSSI issues out of the gate! Tad frustrating...BUT...took it down into my garage (two underground levels, I live in an old converted industrial mill) and did some proximity / slalom work...I was getting about 4:30 on some really tired slightly puffed 600mah GnB....and a whopping 5:35ish on both brand new Emax 450mah batteries I had on hand...wow...I did flash the ESC with JESC to 48hz....impressive...granted I’m just not driv8ng it as hard as you do indoors but still....
@Nick Burns. after listening to your video I think you are right we need a central place to store data. I think discord is not a good place though as not everyone is a part of discord. Like I might be on your discord but not JB or RR's discord as an example. I was thinking I will start a drone wiki (like wikipedia but for drone info). What do you think about that idea? If you are interested I would be happy to make you a co-admin on the site because you are so knowledgeable.
As I dive in deeper to discord I can see where its no better than other resources. I don't know what I would be a good admin, my time is so limited and being slow editor wouldn't be in the wiki's best interest.
@@NickBurnsFPV wiki it out off off testing and long term experience , logging can help allot with dates , this that happend , after change this its better in this way etc, keep updating like facebook line but per drone , where people can share in timeline the drone expertise and mistakes etc.
hi, I hear that 48khz jesc its burning ESCs,,, its this correct??
I have not heard that.
Thanks for sharing all of the info!
I’m using the stock female connector version of the runcam nano 3 in my newbeedrone brushless and no issues thru 60 plus packs.
Great video, keep doing what your doing. Thanks!
I like the way you got it set up so you don't get bots attack your giveaway the job.
1. great video as always. 2. I use the same Frsky radio and yeah I really hope Jumper will come out with a similar style that is just as good because no more FRsky radios for me. 3. Your eyelashes are like mine so the HDO2s will be fine and I highly suggest you get a pair especially what is coming next ;) I have always parallel charged for years now.. as long as you are within .5 v it's fine.. I do 10 bats at a time 1s to 4s and 4 at a time on 6s.. never had an issue.. ever..
29:00 I bough runcam nano 3 replacement and direct solder the cable on the camera ( not cut the wire) it work just fine
Hey Nick, I see the Rotorgeeks battery in the video. Cross boarder shopping I see 😉. Do you have an affiliate link to Rotorgeeks as they are a local shop that I will be using for my supplies. One way I can give a bit of support to the great work you are doing.
You can get PH2.0 solid pin connectors at digikey.
Rumor has it that GNB will come out with a PH2.0 replacement in Feb
I’ve had a Crazybee F4 Pro v2 (not Mobula6) do the same thing. 😩
Got a small battery powered fan at Walmart for cooling a vtx on the bench
I’m with you on the 48kHz... I like the flight performance of 24kHz better.
Nick your house is haunted. Lol. Great video. At least I learned something today.
I'm not a patron but I would think it would be a good idea for a discord as long as it doesn't stretch you to thin cause I love the info you bring to the table not to include I love your flight footage but keep em coming and be blessed
@Nick Burns. It looks like your camera that doesn't work has the wires in a different order from the ones that does work?
27:47 the non working camera has the yellow (video signal wire) close to the TH-cam camera.
27:38 The working camera (the black ground wire) close to the TH-cam camera.
So the wires are out of correct order?
yes sir. I made a goofy mistake, used an out of my bin connector and not the connector from an old mobula 6 camera.
@@NickBurnsFPV does it still work after wrong connecting ?
Which would you say is the most "silent" or "quiet" prop for the mob6?
Have you've noticed one quieter than the others?
Like I love those avan on the emax Tinyhawk 2 freeStyle.
Maybe the HQ props, its really hard to tell as they seem to be mostly very close to the same noise level.
-The 5 BT 2.0 connectors I bought & soldered onto 5 different 1s brand batteries still seem good Nick. Definitely a bit fiddly to solder but I'm an old noob so surely most people can do it?
-I need to try the jesc upgrade, still haven't done it 😢.
-for me the gemfan props don't break, I use them in the Eachine Novice1 (3blade) & Trashcan (4blade). I've bent a couple but never broken 1 👍, I just bend the prop back & keep flying.
-i would join your discord👌
-i haven't had an impulse to purchase a 1s board, I probably should though as I fly the trashcan on 1s mainly indoors & a a tiny bit outside.
-thats odd about the camera!
I was experiencing the firmware reset issue for the first few days using the mobula 6 with stock batteries. I got it most often when a battery was ejected from the quad in a crash. I actually added two small rubber bands to keep the batteries in and allow for some RDQ 525 mA 1S cells to be used (rotated 90 deg to the stock batteries.) You can definitely tell some sluggishness with the heavy batteries, but i'm not good enough for it to matter.
Hi Nick,
Finally picked one up. Is there a quick way to lower the camera angle? (It came with a pretty steep angle where you can't see the ground taking off or landing. For exploration type slow flying and freestyle I use a much lower angle. It looks like there is a fat piece of foam under the front of the nano.)
Thanks!
The camera should be easily adjustable with loosening the screws
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks but mine came with a thick piece of high density foam under the camera that prevents it from being lowered. I guess I will take it apart and tear that off and hope for no jello.
@@NickBurnsFPV Actually I assumed it was double sticky foam, but with some work I was able to get it to slide back with the bottom of the camera as it rotated.... I asked in case there was some discussion on the right way to do it without ruining it, but I managed ;)
Gday Nick, very awsome summary and great way to have a secret ga, Discord would be great with you in it Nick, its a community place to chat and ask questions and to be able to ask you questions about micro's would be very cool considering im on the other side of the globe, Discord is very awsome for pilots not on facebook as well, great job mate.👍🛸
Love the infomercial by Nick!!!
Larva x HD comes with 2 or 3 lipos? Your review differs from the listing
I got three. I could have been a packing error. I go off what came in the package rather than the listing. Listings can be a bit unreliable.
This way it's getting harder to share your giveaways for my subscribers. 😬
(I use to do that with almost all giveaways, sharing in my community tab.)
Just starting to get into the hobby. Would you recommend getting 1s batteries with bt2.0 or ph2.0 connection.
There is also GNB27, I wouldn't invest in BT2.0 unless betafpv quads have your interest. I think ph2.0 is the safest investment but we have seen emax launch the nanohawk with gnb27.
I flashed jesc on my king kong et 115 v2 and I crashed on my first flight, the quad just felt different so I think you might be right.
Thanks for making this video I broke my Mobula 6 and I can’t get parts because of the China thing keep up the videos
I’m having the same issue your having with your Camera and vtx (with wires spliced instead of directly soldered to each other). Except I’m having that issue with the HGLRC nano vtx. The Betaflight osd shows just fine but no video. Weird!!
Interesting this is the first confirmation I have had. Thank you
I should add that I was using that new BetaFPV lightweight FC also and not the crazybee FC
The wiring is diff. The vid and grnd wires are swapped.
Hello, thanks for all information that help us. I try to understand with my English from French. 🤣🤣🤣
@Nick Burns
As with the Tinyhawk S, I also had an absolute total failure with the Mobula 6 (25000kv) :|
The frame is bent, 3 of 4 motors rattle / vibrate or wiggle the motor bells, VTX range indoor 5-6m / outdoor 20-30m, SPI Flysky range indoor under 7m !!!
The extra receiver you mentioned was also in my package.
Unfortunately the Flysky versions weighs 1g more + receiver then 2.2g more, of the 19.8g promised 22g will end up on the scales !!!
To avoid discussions with Banggood, I unpacked the Mobula 6 live in front of the camera.
Would you like to watch my last video how bad my engines sound even without a propeller?
In principle, I only have 2 options, either cannibalize or completely rebuild with almost everything. !?!
What I can use are at least 1 motor + 1 canopy + 1 Runcam Nano 3 :) :) :)
That’s stinks. We can straighten the frame, boil water and hold it in for a bit then set it on the counter. Don’t let us sit on the bottom of the pan
@@NickBurnsFPV
Thanks for the tip
That with the frame is the smallest problem, I already have a Meteor65 here ;)
The other problems are more essential !!!
No matter,
I have now completely changed my whoops to BT2.0 and I am thrilled.
The voltage under load has shifted upwards by 0.2V, e.g. from 3.7V to 3.9V.
And the MyLipo batteries are just brilliant and amazingly cycle-proof, but I only use Non HV Lipos !
I had the alternate runcam nano with the female connector. Soldered on my connector so I could use it on the mob6 and it's been through over 50 flights no problem.
Now I got a replacement as I'm building a second Ina microheli frame.... Andi Ben iticed.the camera has changed. The lense is a different shape and clearly glued shut with two Dabs of glue ! Should be focusable also
I did find the connector I used was not the original, in short my wiring was wrong. :(
Did you have any issue with the plastic tray under the FC on the R3D Zerograv frame covering a motor plug on the Mobula6 FC?
I did, I had to connect the motors first then place the fc.
As always another good vid mate
I put a replacement stock runcam nano 3 in when my video went blurry and it works but when I crash sometimes it goes black.. I was wondering if something was wrong with it... Will have to keep an eye on it now that you mentioned having similar issue.
would like to see a discord and see projects you are working on. also I saw u pick up a very interesting product at pyro bc i packed it :)) but my question is why did u get the caddx version since it would fit more of your application?
Do you mean the vista? I have one but have yet to get my act together and get it in something and the other dji gear going. I am so slow, much easier and faster to purchase than use. And thanks for packing all those orders racing out into the wild. We appreciate that lightning fast pyro service.

@@velazco6017 I appreciate your support and compliments.
Could you do a video on the different solder connections on tiny whoop boards and the proper way to solder them. We burned a board because we didn't push a wire through the hole style connection, and we were told (my wife and I) that it wasn't getting the proper amps because it wasn't soldered correctly
Jesc turned my flight times from 2-4 min on the 6 and 4.5 on the 7 love it!
nice. more stick time is always good.
on the mobula 6 19 or 25 k ?
playmatee1 25000kv
looking great nick :)
The discord chat could be useful, and tying it to the patreon should filter out the trouble makers pretty effectively.
a discord would be good. talking is much better than having to go back and forth with messages.
Great video! UZ65 or Mobula 6?
I would go mobula 6, it weighs less.
@@NickBurnsFPV Alright. Thanks man!!
I bet the non mob6 runcam3 camera needs 5v, where the mob6 version can run on 1s voltage. A fully charged 1s might be just above the minimum threshold, but would soon drop below once you are flying.
DANGIT! five days late on this, GRRREAT! bet the BT 2.0 batteries are all GONE AGAIN! dammit rogue!
I don't think the batteries lasted long at all. Myabe they will get a bigger batch for this next run. They are made in Germany I believe, so we won't have to wait for the caronavirus to be dealt with.
very helpful
I wonder if it's the difference of an added regulator. Maybe the mob6 part is 3.3-36v and the runcam one is strictly 5-36v. Haven't had that experience yet . Maybe they underclock the mob 6 one so it draws less current. I'd say throw a meter in series with the power and check the current.
A lot to digest but I hung in there right up to last call. You don't have to go home , but you can't stay here.
Nice video! I am looking to get those 03O's
Great vid sir keep it up
Woot!
Hi Nick! Look 👀 at all the drones you got!
How many can you fly at a time?
This JESC is new? 🤔 costs monthly too I heard 🤦🏻♂️.
Is it better than suite? Or 32?
What’s your opinion?
Discord? Sure Nick, what ever makes life easier 😉. Us pilots, we can FLY! Anything is possible & positive!
Where do I signup?
Take care
JESC and JazzMaverick are somewhat new. JESC does not cost for 48khz only, it does cost for ESC telemetry for rpm filtering. The esc we use JESC or JazzMaverick are not 32 bit and therefore don't support 32 esc firmware. JESC and Jazzmaverick bring 32 esc firmware to non 32bit esc.
Nick Burns thnx for answering 😉
So what you’re saying is JESC & JazzMaverick don’t have 32_bit. And this brings it to them 🤔 sounds like same same but not the same 🤦🏻♂️ 🤣🤣🤣
I have a 32_bit ESC from BetaFPV. Sadly I burnt my FC... long story (still has to be replaced though) does feel different, when you set the quad up correctly & to your flying style, the quad is amazing 😉.
Watching your reviews on 65“ quads, I’m gonna build 1 with a Emax frame. I‘d like to try the motors/props upside down or whichever frame allows this. & then, gonna go to a mall at the weekend & fly a little Star Wars with ppls legs as obstacles 😉.
Thnx again & take care
@@BornIIfly Well its brings some of the software functionality of 32 esc to non 32 bit esc. So to a degree yes, same not the same. Have fun at the Mall that should make for fun and good video.
You connect camera gnd wire to the v+ on the mobula fc. Replace gnd and v+ will be work :)
I saw PH2.0 connectors first used by blade (it was first called MCPX connector in the hobby because of a product of them) and wl toys since the early 2010s or so. Still have my little flybar helis from them (that brought me into the hobby) and love them. So tinywhoop didn't really pioneered that connector
Where those solid pin connectors or the folded/rolled pins?
@@NickBurnsFPV Don't know but they are solid, not hollow like a saw before and the cables are (badly) hand soldered
@@NickBurnsFPV Oh do you mean if the cables are crimped on? I believe so but they made an additional solder blob over the connection
@@NickBurnsFPV I have one in my collection. It's definitely solid pins.
@@VincentFischer Both are important. Although for a time we can get away with both rolled pin and crimped.
Nick 🙏 sorry, got some thing unrelated to this video
my mobula 6 （non hd）just have a hard clash
the camera lens just scratch
what i do is polish with toothpaste and cotton but basically just taper the whole front part by time🤣
now the scratch is almost gone
but i can really focus the lens
What should I do
It's is run cam nano 3
I can't find the sparepart is it a good idea to buy other 2.1mm m8 lens from caddex
Or should I bought a new set of camera
The less expensive possible fix is a new lens, runcam doesn't sell the lens specifically for the nano 3, another m8 lens is an opportunity. I am not overly optomistic this lens will focus exactly for HD recording. The next step is to buy a new camera with the board. You might want to email runcam support to see if they do have the nano 3 lens to sell but don't list it on their site. This is likely what I would do first.
@@NickBurnsFPV appreciate it🙏
thanks for the video Nick!

- i didn't lose smart audio when I added my own DSMX Rx.
- repairing blurry lens - in order to unthread it without breaking it - Use a rounded set of plier with sharp teeth and avoid squeezing too hard.
- replacement camera - it does appear that your wiring order is different from the working setup and non working setup. is it that simple? just a wiring issue?
- kudos to you for wanting to keep it family friendly. maybe you can send some of the patreon money to some volunteers that can keep it family friendly if it becomes too time consuming for you to do? after all, the higher the dis_cord population gets, the more you'll need admins, and the more money you'll have.
I suspect smart audio wasn't lost as dsmx doesn't use sbus or ibus?
I haven't confirmed it yet, but I see where I didn't notice the series the wires are in on the connector of the different versions, rather I solder the color of the wires and not the pin map.
@@NickBurnsFPV i checked BF and my Rx is on uart1 and smart audio is on uart2. I don't remember but uart1 is likely empty by default since SPI is used for the Rx.
Different subject, have you chopped the spring detent fingers off your micro usb cable yet? Some cables are tighter than others but I highly recommend doing this to anyone for micros. Make sure to use flush cutters. Pro tip: push back the connector as you cut and it exposes more of the finger and let you cut it at a lower point.
@@Jrod_FPV I haven't. I presume this makes it smoother to get the connector out and in?
@@NickBurnsFPV yes exactly. Before the mod it felt like i was about to break the frame when trying to plug/ unplug. Now i don't have to be extra slow and careful. In and out with basically zero resistance.
Do they make adapters to just plug into a ph 2.0 to the BT 2 0 instead of soldering? Just a small cable or adapter to plug in would make things easier.
I am not aware of one. We could make one ourselves
Hey Nick, do you know how to tell if the board is dead? plug a fully charged battery in and OSD immediately warns you "land now". strange candy! coulda been the turtle mode attempt under the dining table who knows!
I presume it won't arm. The "land now" is a warning element of power/battery. If your running HV lipos and have charged to HV we need to check the max voltage on the power & battery page of betaflight, change that value to 4.4
@@NickBurnsFPV great minds think alike! I just got done in betaflight and was able to resolve it with what you mentioned above. thing was I set battery and power overhead for the BT 2.0 4.35v batteries that's why i was scratchin my head.... when it started happening out of the blue.
Turns out, SOME... thing, or action, somehow caused my Betaflight install to fully reset back to defaults. Strange candy man. Saved .jsons ftw!
@@rogueFactor Glad you got it sorted. Did you last fly to voltage below 3 volts? The HappyModel AIO doesn't like going below 3volts, it resets BF.
@@NickBurnsFPV That's terrible! completely doable too with vsag. i let it sit for 5 secs up to 3.4v thinking I can make it back into the office room. "WHOOPS"! 🔋⚡
@@rogueFactor 3.4 volts should be okay. I regularly fly down to 3.1v. I suffered from reset after flying down to 2.7
Now that the GNB27 connectors are out & showing up on some whoops & 1s batteries how do they compare to the BT2.0?
The GNB27 connector is at least on part with BT2.0, we need electrical testing to be more specific. Someone has surely done it. The major issue with BT2.0 is they come on betafpv batteries and they perform very poorly, comparitively. Tinywhoop does have better bt2.0 batteries. BT2.0 could have been successful if Betafpv would have sold the connectors at cost or close to battery manufacturers, or allow them to make their own. They didn't so GNB27 was developed.
