- The Protek35 may be a cinewhoop, but it's got some power to it! I've been super impressed with iFlight's products and I'm stoked to add this quad to my fleet.

This one was a lot of fun to make. I also want to see what kind of cinewhoop skills you guys have. Send me some of your flight vids on IG!
I have a Beta95x v2 its amazing
My first thought was 'Is he sponsored by iFlight or something?' - skip to 7:10 everyone!
@@LiamKurtSmith they were nice enough to send me the quad to review this time though!
How did you fly through matt it was amazing 😁
@@MattPochwat they are a fantastic company!

Hands down

I love the Protek series. I got myself a P25 because I want to fly in small spaces, but I agree with you with the fact that naked GoPro are a bit cumbersome. Anyway, either the P25 or the P35 are great drones to have in your arsenal, you can't go wrong with them
Can’t use normal GoPro with the 25?
Can the protek 25 carry a gopro 9? perhaps with the lipo power cable?
@@definingslawek4731 I don't think so, and if it does, it will be very heavy, and potentially having issues in the future with your motors. I wouldn't advice it
Love your stuff dude, I can't even tell you how helpful some of your videos have been for me just getting into the hobby. Thanks for what you do!
Awesome man. That's why I try to put so much time into each one!
@@MattPochwat It definitely shows! I hope your channel continues to grow and I'll definitely stick around to see it happen.
I really appreciate the footnotes, they are very useful for a beginner like me, thanks!

4:28 good idea!!!! I didn’t for my first flights outside and the bare plastic bumpers chopped up my leg when the wind caught it flying through my legs!
I did some flying through shots but with DJI drone. Now, I'm on my 4th day on simulator with tango 2 pro. Hope to get the goggles and my first drone soon.
Hey, which goggles did u get for your first one?
@@itz_dxve I don't have goggles yet. I'm using DJI Phantom 4 on my fly though and pull back videos.
Thanks, Matt. I love your youthful enthusiasm. You're a good salesman as well. Think I'll be getting The Protek 35 instead of the Bumblebee. I fly every day and it's always windy. Usually very windy. The ProTek does better in the wind. In fact. I heard cinewhoops because of their ducts are terrible in the wind. And referring to the closing scene. keep practicing. You may have to change out your car drivers. But, one day you'll master it. See you on the other side. :)
I just bought one of these! Havent got in the air yet... but I have been watching your videos ever since I started investing in FPV! Thank you for making your videos, they are an awesome resource for beginners like me
1. What are the googles you're using and 2. are the goggles and what came in the box all that you need? Batteries sold separately?
Just ordered my Nazgul 5! Thanks for all your help and information... this'll be fun!
You flight through car with full go pro9 in protek35 ? I think 9 is to heavy for protek 35 poor controllability. Maybe for you it will be easy with naked GoPro
I've been flying a Holybro Kopis Mini for 6 months now with a GoPro 9 or Max on top. It's heavy for sure. That power cable would help. My biggest complaint is the durability of the ducts. I've used stock, and designed and printed various styles, but none hold up to big crashes. I realize it's asking a lot, but it would be nice to have to worry less about them.
Great video! I've just finished binge-watching all your videos (again) in preparation of taking my first leap into FPV. Considering the Nazgul V2 and the ProTek35 are almost identically priced, which would you go for as a first FPV drone?
I understand that they are intended for different types of flying and to have both would be fantastic, but for now I'm keen for one drone with an entry level setup.
What did you choose 8 months later
He must be out flying..
“Medium to larger open spaces” exactly. I have a Protek 35 and just got a cinelog25 and I gotta say, I wish I had seen this video first haha
And man, if you have rates you like, I’d love to have a starting point for this drone. I don’t really know what I’d start to tweak with it, but something definitely feels like it could be improved
I just got my Protek35 in the mail and I'm also in South Korea! So cool.
I saw your car number plate and started freaking out 😂
I fully agree about flying indoors. This quad is too "fast" to fly in small spaces and turbulences caused by props underneath it make it no easier. What flight time did you get with 1300 mAh battery?
I only have 1500 4S batteries currently and unfortunately I didn't do a flight time test.
Awesome man! I want so bad a Protek, but I'm undecided between 25 or 35, because of the size! congratulations on the video, I think I'll move on to protek 35.
I did buy the Protek25 recently and instantly killed the Vista Unit by updating it (overheated according to Caddx).
Had to wait a few weeks for a replacement (which costs 40 USD since overheating is excludet in the warranty) and now had to troubleshoot some seetings and ESC Firmwares (the Protek25 has some issues with burning ESCs that need some fixing by the user which is a hassle even though iFlight is providing info on that in their Support).
Finally I have it ready to fly but it is so horribly loud that I don't want to fly indoors and annoy all my neighbours (it is way louder than the loudes vacuum that I ever owned) haha.
Now I wait for better weather and then your car Shot is #1 on my List.
Thanks for the great review the Protek35 might be the best cinewhoop for a full sized gopro in the future!
they are definitely loud.
Just got my first fpv drone. I've been watching a lot of your stuff lately, got a Mobula7, Betafpv lite 2 transmitter, and the Echine 800d goggles. I'm super excited to start flying!
Weeeell! I work fulltime as a FPV Pilot and I have two Protek´s! I like to think that i´m a pretty decent pilot with the Protek´s... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! How fast do you want the car to move?
Your call!
I live in Indy area and I recognized Tappers 3:03 right away! Nice!
I like iflight. Looking at a Nazgul or Cidora 4s for my next quad.
That's another of my favourite FPV TH-camrs saying this is a great quad. Thanks for the video. I'm a big fan of iFlight's products (I have the Nazgul5 v2 analogue), but I am looking to get a cinewhoop this year for a project I have in mind (chasing BMX riders along a BMX race track; can't do that with the Nazgul5 safely!). I had in mind to get the Bumblebee v2 (or now v3), but this is looking more like something that would suit me. Quick question: iFlight are about to release a 6s version of the Protek35; which would be better, do you think? That's a comparison I'd like to see
Hey Matt love the videos ! Can you help with a daft question. In the Uk its a pain to fly a drone with a fixed camera. Can you recommend one I can just take off easily whenever its suits ? I adore this Protek 35 by the way, many thanks
just got one, cant wait to fly it
I heard it is not good in wind weather. Can you advise anything "windproof" ?
What are the best batteries for this drone? I already bought the DJI goggles and the DJI control… it will be my first FPV, I will need a charger too .. if you can help me with that! thanks
It's a great quad!
Yeah
th-cam.com/video/Sp72DW9M740/w-d-xo.html❤️❤️
This was REALLY helpful for a beginner like me man thank you!
How bad does the GoPro eat up the battery compared to not having it connected?
Would like to see you get that shot Try airmode on a switch so it won't suck up to the car it'll just bounce off headrest and such.
What rates would you suggest for a beginner who is just getting started with fpv on Protek35 is his first quad ? Would really appreciate your help with this. Thank you 🌞🙏
It's a tough shot, the wind inside the car and outside has different velocities, when entering you need to adjust quickly for the transition and back again when exiting. The faster you go through the less adjustment needed. Just Yolo it haha
Nice Video Matt! Thanks for this! I also own an Protek35 HD, which Rates did you recommend, or better, on which rates are you going to fly this little beast?
Question: I have a cetus pro and I am getting okay with it. Would a cinewhoop like the one you have here be a good next drone for me?
I'm not interested in stunts, racing or high flying, at least not at this point. I mostly like to fly in smooth routes around the house. I doubt seriously I would ever be interested in commercial use. But I do like full control and not the GPS stuff from DJI.
I fly an insta360 go2 on a Protek 25. It flies just fine and is way more powerful than my full size cinewhoop!
I'm looking at this because iFlight claims that it can lift more than a full size GoPro, and I want to put my phone on it instead so I can get better quality without spending many hundreds on GoPros.
My phone weights about 230g and if the mounting hardware also weights a bit more than a standard HERO mount, I'm guessing the AUW would be about 100g heavier than with a full size GoPro. Do you have any thoughts on how well that would work? What would you recommend for a cinewhoop that can lift more weight?
Thanks for sharing... have you done the signal hack 800 mw or is it the stock 25 mw 🤔 definitely not quite upto flying through a car 😆
Never give up, man, never give up.
When I bought my Protek 35 there were very sharp settings. The slight movement of the sticks caused a strong displacement of the drone. Please tell me how to set up the drone correctly?
Hello. Total newbie here. But can i sync this drone with a TBS - Tango 2 controller ? 😅
yes if u have tbs in a drone :)
I'm not sure if you've seen the 2021 Kia Sorento Fpv Concept AD made by Beverly Hills Aerials and piloted by @mikeflipsdrones if you google it, you'll find a facebook video about it! They fly inside of a moving car, hover within it for a few seconds and then fly out without hitting anything and keeping it perfectly stable. Was incredible to watch. If they used reelsteady it'd be even more mindblowing.
Yea I have actually! But I really think they had someone catch the quad when it flew in and then pass it out the front window. Still incredibly impressive
Check out the GepRc Cinepro 2" or the CineQueen 3". They are pretty rock solid, small but strong enough for indoor/outdoor, and they come with a Caddx Tarsier Dual Cameras with on board HD-DVR. Great Review of the Protek, your opinion is appreciated.
i have the protek 35 and would love to know what battery and rates you use! Cool vid!
Great review Matt! What screwdriver do I need in order to take off the top of this quad in order to replace the rx module?
Hey Matt, what’s the best way to get link quality of the controller on the DJI goggles when using this drone with the tango 2 radio/receiver
Videos are getting better and better man.
Thanks man!
How long flightime it gave you with that CNHL battery and gopro hero 9 on it? I have the same setup, and dont know what Im doin wrong, but with gopro on it I got around 1 minute flightime which seems really short to me. Thanks
So this seems like a good all around FPV? I just returned my DJI FPV and feel something like this would be much more ideal to me. The 25 or 35 and what googles to use? Thanks
Hello, im nee to FPV and got exactly this drone /// iFlight Protek35 Caddx Polar Vista ///
Is that the same one you got? Can you help me with this question.
What kind of remote do i need to be able to connect to that drone.
Please help😬
And i see you didnt have the iFlight Adapter equiped either so is it not necessary?
Would you please post a link to that nifty GoPro (USB-C) balance lead adapter.
Would rather purchase off the shelf than put one together.
Yea there's a link in the vid description!
@@MattPochwat found it on my second look!!!!!
Placed an order!!! Using your link!! Thanks for the video!
i might try that car shot! With my mobula 6 hd it'll have to be at 5mph and 200% speed though... ahaha great review of this quad! Love this style of review, your videos are just next level Matt
Nice video. I’m thinking about getting one. However, I’m wondering if you can use 6S batteries on the Protek35??
Is that a built in camera on the cinewhoop already? I really don’t want to have to use a go pro 😂would get a DJI camera most likely
Great review, I enjoy the protek 35 over other cinewhoops I have flown as well
Which cinewhoops have you tried?
This whole ducting idea for cinewhoops seems like a dead end to me, atleast with our current tech and tolerances.
Like, why did we go down that line to begin with?
Just prop guards seems to make so much more sense
@@cinialvespow1054 I’ve flown the diatone taycan, the green iflight one that looks like a taycan.. and now the protek 35... the protek 35 acts like it just has prop gaurds and not ducts, I’m yet to pull the prop gaurds off to see if it changes the flight charectoristics or not because it can be flown either way
Is the Protek is as fragile as Josh Hardwell mentioned?
OHHHH YAAAAA, man that kid can really bike
Yeah
th-cam.com/video/Sp72DW9M740/w-d-xo.html❤️❤️
Hello! Thank you for the video! Please tell me if you compare IFlight BumbleBee HD V3 and iflight protek35 which do you think is better? Which one will you choose?
Should i get this before i get Nazgul5 v2? or Nazgul5 v2 more worth
hey there,
I changed out the 3 blade props that come with the protek35 with the HQProp Duct-89MMX8 8 blade props. its alot quiet now but doesn't seem to fly as good. is this a tuning issue or what? great video
My question for u brotha man I just got hip to drones still don’t have one what’s the best one that comes with all the stuff I need out the box to fly don’t really have enough to buy all the best high tech gear separately is there good ones u know that come with everything goggles controller battery and drones hopefully u see this I’m super interested in getting in to this hobbie
Hey I have a question does this drone come with the headset or would that be a separate purchase?
Hey Matt! Great video as usual!...Can you advice which Cinewhoop drone can work best with the old DJI Racing Edition goggles and the Taranis QX7? Not sure if I can get something with HD on that setup. Cheers!
Hi am looking to getting started with FPV. Which controller and goggle works with this and also wh8cj will you prefer. This or DJI. Thanks
What battery did you use? Did you use the gopro9 cable adapter plug to battery on that shoot?
I bought one of these but I’m having trouble with DJI controller. Basically it binds to caddx vista nebula pro (I get image in DJI goggles) but I cannot arm or control with my DJI controller.
Appreciate your videos and quality! I got the protek35 too. Could you make a video on how to tune it properly! ✌🏽
I thought the tune was great. I would definitely lower the rates significantly though!
The cable works with all Action cam with USB C connection?
Greetings (Grüssle) from (swabian) Germany!
Would you recommend this for someone starting out on fpv? My goal is to get proximity cinematic shots but i also want to surf down mountains so im not sure about the range. Would this drone be good for that?
Hi Matt ! What do you think about getting protek 25 and use it with the go pro without battery? Using the balance cable you show on this video? I think protek 35 is to big for indoor shooting. Thanks in advance.
did you use the same one for the coffee shop video?
What battery do you use for your protek35? I'm waiting for mine and don't know what to buy- 1300 or 1550
Awesome goggle straps!
Juan is a good guy!
I own the DJI FPV drone. Will those goggles and remote work with this drone?
Yes just make sure to get the digital version and with the "DJI receiver" option!
I recently got myself this cable and can only recommend it! It's a must-have for everyone out there. 3 weeks ago I ordered the Protek35, I'm already counting the days until the good piece finally arrives :)
As soon as it is there, I will safely take part in your challenge :) Challenge accepted haha
I would still be interested with what rates you fly with
Good Video Matt! Keep it up, I love your content
greetz Jay
Hey Jay, I'll have to check later, but the the protek came set up with a max vel of around 900 on all axis. I cut that down to about half after filming this video.
I've ordered one on Aliexpress, it will be my first fpv drone. The have Chineese New Year so they didn't send it to me yet. I also took 1550 batteries and worry if they are too big or too heavy for this
Mine are 1500's. I think I would've preferred 1300's but you'll still be fine.
Will this drone fly from the new DJI FPV controller and headset?
Can you show your rates for this protek35? I keep getting so much propwash
I just got a protek35 analogue as my first ever pre-built new quad and it's ok, but nowhere near as smooth as most of my home-built 5" quads. I think it has potential but really disappointed with it jittery performance for what I'd hoped would be a more cinematic quad. Mine carries a gopro session 5 and wondered if I would need to re-tune to carry it smoothly?
You got the 4s or 6s ? I have the 6s version that I fly with a 4s pack and it’s butter smooth
Just ordered the digital version of the Drone to fly with DJI any suggestions on the new settings that you are going to use?
This is great! Been juggling lately to buy a tycan cinewhoop or a 95 with naked gopro. But Im skeptical about stripping a gopro and tycan is too bulky.
Ang brother, you always have the best cinematography and color grading. How do you do that color grade? 😍
Thanks man! Honestly, I'm colorblind, so I dunno... 😂
Do you watch the last video of MCK FPV? amazing car shot!!!
did you configure the protek with a different rate or pid to fly indoor?
finally, i've been waiting for your new video, i start interest into fpv drone because i watch your video.
and hell yeah you really make me want that cinewhoop
Why does his protek hav 2 attennas in the back, when on Iflights website, it only shows 1 attena?
The intro is fantastic.
This cinewhoop looks amazing!!
Dope video! Can anyone just please confirm that DJI FPV Goggles can be used for both Analog and Digital? If so, what kind of modifications drone-wise are necessary for this to be feasible? Thanks!
shot in the dark... are you located in indianapolis?
Woah awesome drone! and also awesome shots!
thanks man!
BumbleBee V3 seemed to be perfect solution to get started. Especially for indoor flights. But in the meantime, I saw many Protek 35 reviews and now I'm not sure about BB V3. Maybe I should order Protek 35...
How loud is this compared to the Taycan?? Because I’ve only flown a Diatone Taycan and it is sooooo annoyingly loud. I know all cinewhoops are loud but is this considerably more quiet?
Oh it's loud.
are all the ducts in one piece after all the hard landings on the concrete??
Hey guys im Just getting into the Hobby. I got a tx16s and the TBS Tracer Modul for it. I now wanted to get the protek 35 but which Receiver do i have to Pick for it to fly With the Tracer?
Definitely want a cinewhoop. This might be it.👍
Great video Matt. Just got myself one love to know what rates you now use?
the short and wide af motors are a great idea for this form factor it seems!
Can you suggest any IFlight's entry level freestyle fpv drone?
You use gopro 9, still need realstady?
ambitious shot
Matt first off great video! 2nd I'm new and have just been learning on tiny whoops.. I'm wondering do you fly in level mode for these shots or full acro? Thanks (I have a hell of a time with the tinywhoop in acro indoors)
Don’t use acro mode indoor, it’s used to fly outside in open spaces, inside home is better to use level mode or you will constantly crashing. I actually find is easier to fly in acro in open spaces than level mode
