Omg, this is the ultimate spying drone, if only the camera was better, but you can always stick a better light weight camera on like you did! Im really impressed
Got one for study for flying in house. Very very durable. I bought many spare blades but after hours of flying I couldn't break them. Had to buy a 16:9 helmet. Tried to fly in 4:3 but it's very hard for me. With the 750ma battery I got the 10m++ flying time. In the FrSky version of uncomfortable antennas - the blades cut them and there are no protective tubes in the kit. Antenna open area should be 31.2mm - otherwise your receiver will not work far enough
@@Senihmo This is an open or free section of the antenna not covered by insulation. In the final, I cursed frsky and attached a tbs nano to this drone 🙂
Very cool. A 1000 years ago when I was 12-13 yrs old, I flew U-control planes and tried to fly remote control but got a little to expensive. I want to get into drones now to film my motorcycle adventures! Enjoyed the vid!
Hey man. You can get a good camera drone for very affordable on DJI website. I'm no affiliate and make no money of telling you this. I never comment on stuff, but I thought the same thing actually year ago
Wish there were micro drones like this with altitude hold.

You can put ardupilot on some smaller FCs and configure it to arm without GPS etc. Betaflight is the limiting factor when it comes to Controller assisted flight.
I love the combination of "nobody will notice" and the mother with her kid who both looked up at it when it flew over them behind the van... ha ha. Pretty neat little drone though - amazing how small it is!
I've got a baby drone i bought from wal-mart about 8 years ago kinda like this- it's not fpv though. I still use it buuuuut, every time i crash it i have to resolder the leads to at least one motor. i spent 20 bucks on it nearly a decade ago though and the thing still flies! I'd love to have one of these though. Some Day I hope to get into fpv drone racing, but I just don't have the time, the Money isn't such a big deal these Days.... time is a bit with a ch as you get older!
Very Nice these tiny drones are so much fun and now with the new receiver things just got better. The new drones just keep on coming and so does the confusion for me. I do all the research I can get ready to purchase one and a Captain Drone video pops up 😁. Thanks Captain
That is great fun to watch! For some reason watching fpv doesn't bother me but actually doing it is instant motion sick... At least I can actually do camera drones :-) Amazing what you can get for $100 !!!
I’m sooooo glad I found you, and your channel. I wish it would have been a year ago would have saved me quite abit of money I’ve wasted on junk toy drones, but at least my drone hobby looks much better in the near future. I’m going to go with the DJI mini 2. But I wrote in on this comment to say I got such a good laugh when you smacked the wall with this lil guy and I’m impressed that it didn’t even break not one prop. Thank you so much Captain D fir all your hard work I for one do appreciate it very much. Olege203 from Louisiana, USA
Euell Gibbons just woke up from his grave and cried a little. This world is just changing too fast for me. When I was growing up, we called those things pinecones. Cute drone though.
First thing to do with dedicated ELRS receivers is updating and matching the passphrase to your Radio, so it binds automatically. (500hz is in the newest Update) With spi, you can only update it with a new betaflight version, afaik.
Great video. I would really appreciate a video on how to configure the jumper t lite radio. I’m sure there are others like myself that are new to fpv and just got started with configuring frsky and now this system is out. I hope you consider doing the video. Have a great day. Again great videos.
Wanted to let you know your battery for the insta flight was fully charged. What happened was it came in high like 4.37v and the FC actually thought it was a 2s battery, and that's why it showed 2.xxv below the 4.3xv, that was what the voltage would be for 2s. You can set the battery high mark in betaflight to 4.5v and it won't happen again. So that was actually a just fine full battery flight. Thanks for the video!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeah it can happen from a very minute change in the battery charge level, so that when it first arms it checks the battery and that's what gets set. If you check in betaflight on the "Power & Battery" tab the "Maximum Cell Voltage" field, I bet yours is set to 4.4. Since these batteries normally charge to 4.35 if they happen to be overcharged a touch they could read as 4.4 and make it think it's a 2s battery. If you set that field to "4.5" this shouldn't happen again. And all this does is change the math for reading the battery, it's not going to draw more power or affect flight handling or anything. It's safe to do.
250 mw vtx with a tall little vertical antenna +ELRS= Fun!! Mine is on order. Converting my fleet to ELRS and am amazed with it's performance. Don't fly around kids is a good idea,,worse is a mother and kid which you did at 7:26 twice Lol.
Wow, that’s great. I have bought 2 drones in the past, but I just am not a good pilot. I will go as far as to say I am a lousy pilot. I completely wrecked the first one & gave the second to my nephew. The Firefly looks like a lot of fun, price is great, but I just do not think I have what it takes. All my RC’s have 4 wheels & stay on the ground…most of the time. I absolutely love building them, but I am not that good a driver either. Oh well, I enjoyed you video. I imagine I will remain “droneless”.
That thing looks like it's fun to fly, will have to add it to my list. BTW, try dual lock for the camera on small drones like this. If your not familiar with it, dual lock is kind of the love child of velcro and double sided tape. It locks it in rock solid without all the slop you get with velcro, but it's reusable like velcro. Just dedicate one mount to it and you can use the dual lock with it on any quad you can't do a proper mounting on. BTW, how about a short vid on setting up the voice prompts in the T-lite? I just got one and I like how you have yours set up.
Wow what a great little drone! First time visiting your channel after a youtube offering. Love the video and very informative, thank you. Love your home too. Thumbs up and a sub🙂👍🏻
Oh boy what a brain to figure out all of the connections with the transmitter and the drone .its great to have someone like you to teach us newbies how to bind all this stuff up.oh check out the new vee copter vid that just came out it looks awsome.sorry I don't no how to send you a link.
The V-copter is sort of a novelty item with only two motors. Unfortunately the company Zero Zero Robotics has been very dishonest for many years that previous customers no longer trust them.
3 and a half minutes is enough to get some good shots if you doing some budget filming with the action cam between that a reasonable mobile phone and some reasonable open source programs you’ve got a very basic but reasonable indie movie setup
If it could carry that camera then why not more batteries? Why not add a battery for every extra 8 minutes? It would just be a matter of connecting them correctly.
@@SquatchWerks It happened about a week ago, so some people will receive the battery connection as shown in my review and others will receive a different battery connection.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 That would be my luck… Ordered batteries and the quad at the same time, batteries made it here first… PH2.0 batteries. We will see.🤞🏻 Thanks cap!
Wow this is something that would be helpful and inexpensive for Police and Fire crews and whatever other services to quickly deploy and not worry so much on losing it.
Incredible how far drones have come
I like How he says hes going to stay away from the kids, and then literally is flying feet above their heads right afterwards. Lol
6:38 as a kid, i took that personally
I like how you called the pinecone an acorn 😂 love your videos ❤
I know, i need someone standing beside me to catch me when I use the wrong identifier.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 we knew what you meant.
He must be tiny..
“I don’t wanna fly around the kids”, proceeds to dive onto the children and mom coming like 5ft from them😂 7:25
Yup, the drone was way faster than expect (covered plenty of ground quickly)
I was thinking the same thing. LMAO!
Yeah, I was expecting the Ride of the Valkyries at that moment!
You can change the arming angle in betaflight, emuflight, ect. It's on main configuration settings page. I set mine all to 180⁰
Man, this is one smart little quad, on the list for sure, quality flight time and decent vtx! Winner!
Omg, this is the ultimate spying drone, if only the camera was better, but you can always stick a better light weight camera on like you did! Im really impressed

Great video! The crash inside the house made me LOL. Nice Jeep!!!!!
That backyard looks literally like the SImpsons
Awesome. I plan on grabbing one with ELRS, after I obtain an ELRS module for my T-Lite.
FYI, that is a pine cone, not an acorn.. lol.. but awesome video! You sold me on that fun looking nano drone!
I got the nanohawk X over this. loving it
Absolutely amazed at this little device, I've never flown a drone but if love to start.
Would you say this is a good starting POV drone?
Still waiting for mine. They updated the model. So it was delayed. I ordered the previous version, but banggood offered me the newer one.
10 minutes after typing this, banggood shipped it.
Great vid mate, love watching your stuff, most informative and with a touch of humour, excellent.
Thank you!
I have a phantom 4 I can't get it fly I flew it like 4 times the it just gives me a error anywhere on fixing that don't require sending it in

Believe in yourself and you can accomplish anything.
Practice on DRL or something similar, if you already have a radio you can plug it into your computer with usb and this helped dramatically for me.
yeah dude, you have to pratice on sim first, nobody is good at first, dont worry =)
I'm always late but present for all the video's 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've had the Tinyhawk 2 for like 6 months and it's already ancient.
Very small and very funny. Thank you very much sharing
So fun to see Paul Bettany plays with tiny drone

Like always i love watching expensive videos even i cant afford it
Cool video and nice Gladiator!

Small is beautiful😍😍👍😁
You my friend have brought knowledge! Buying one today!
Hope you enjoy it!

Lol! Acorn.. we call those pine cones stateside. :). Cool little drone!!
One word. AWESOME.
Any British viewers should watch from 11:20. This is a fantastic review by the way!!
You’re the bomb dudeee!! My new fav channel
Thank you!
22 miles? Ya, wave of the future no doubt!
I wonder if the FAA will legally require a "Concealed Drone Permit" for this "Pocket Drone" ?
Don't give them any ideas!
Now we joke... later we cry.
I thought it was pretty dumb to even fly over someone's car then i saw them. horrible flying
Do you have a video for the best low budget beginner drone full setup?
No, but you can buy the READY TO FLY FPV KITS. I've done reviews on many from different companies and have several more coming up.
Thanks. Glad you out this up.

Are evergreen cones called acorns in Canada? Sweet little drone!

Acorns are from Oak trees, that was a Pinecone

They have revised the design slightly to use a GNB27 battery connector rather than the PH2.0 of the original version
Correct. Emax did that as well to a few of their drones.
