- Here's my review for the Arris X220 Ready-to-Fly Kit with Taranis QX7 Radio. This was my first FPV drone that I bought based on a recommendation from a well-known member of the FPV community. It didn't totally live up to expectations but I learned a lot! Enjoy the vid.
“I feel like selling a piece of tech to somebody and then expecting them to buy the charger separately is a little bit ridiculous”
that aged hilariously well xD
Phones nowadays
This is the most professional drone review ive ever seen, taking my new v2 out for its maiden flight tomorrow. keep it up!
I’m looking at the kit right now, the v2 one is it still a okay purchase? It’s pretty cheap so I’m just curious
i bought an arris 250 rtf about 5 years ago when i first started flying fpv, they even had one of my videos on their website to help promote that frame. they are a good small company out of china.
Hey, please let me know what you guys think of this review. I plan on doing a few more and any feedback is appreciated! Thanks for watching.
I wish I would have found your channel before I got into the hobby because not knowing all of this bullshit about hidden costs, compatibility, and an absurdly steep learning curve if you don't get an actually complete RTF bundle. And don't even get me started on setting up a new radio to a new quad and figuring out how to set up Betaflight, and then figure out how to use Betaflight to configure everything to be able to use any of it. Then find out that your fancy new radio that you just ordered the battery and tray for is incompatible with your Trashcan, then figure out which one you wanna replace. Sweet baby Jesus what a pain in the nuts. Your videos would have effectively cut my learning curve/upfront costs by at least 1/3. So thank you for your super accurate and honest videos, I love 'em. And keep 'em comin' dood.
Its fixing to be my first one as well!Did you get the kinks worked out?
Damn you just sit down and make a video like this as your first video... Very well done :)
Haha I've made videos before. It's always been a hobby of mine.
For a first video this is wonderful
Good video man, idk why you dont have more views. Subbed
Thanks man
Yes, give him some time. Film makers make the best TH-cam videos (of which I am not). It's the TH-cam algo's. They'll catch on eventually and Matt will get the goodness he deserves.
Hi, thank you for all the videos you put out, found them very informative and crisp, subscribed, and as a beginner, glad that TH-cam suggested your videos to me, few questions on a very old video of yours, 1. I bought a arris x280 with gps and long range transmitter locally from a guy for $150, with batteries/balance charger - but I see that you didn’t like your X220, would you recommend a switch to Nazgul or play with it until it breaks and then switch out and 2. The batteries I got are rather heavy, about 492g with drone weight at 392 g, is the battery weight too much for the drone ? What’s the ideal ration you recommend ? 3. I see you put the battery on top of your drone, mine has the gps/receiver on top, is there a difference in terms of maneuverability if battery is on top or bottom 4. When would you recommend I charge the batteries ? I fly usually after work at about 5:30 and I was charging them after but after seeing videos about fire, I am so worried I keep the batteries away from my home, would you suggest I just charge it before I start playing and then use it till 50% and charge it again next day before I use them ? Just want to make sure I don’t start a fire accidentally, once again thank you for all the information you put, really nice job
THIS IS HONEST THANKS ALOT BRO KEEP POSTING WE'RE WITH YOU
I really like your videos Matt! you do a great job explaining from your unbiased point of view of everything in an honest and easy way to understand. Plus is nice to see your everyday improvement since you started. Give us hope for us that are beginners that we can do it too. Keep on doing this! i know you will do great things. Hello from Los Angeles, CA.
Thanks!
I'm also just starting into the hobby, and I had great success with building the Rotor Riot CL! build kit (first time soldering).

i just got the arris 250b and they might have seen your video. They included an actual wrench, not the punched sheet metal ones, a chrome wrench haha. still no charger though haha. Flies great though. pretty impressed with the kit.
I’m surprised u don’t have more subscribers
Haha thanks!
True
Very professional video
Great review... very informative.
I bought the BNF version and have had the same issue with the battery connector coming loose. My other quads never had this issue. I also don't like how close the props come to the central parts. There should be more then the 1/6" clearance.
Great video dude, most likely getting this guy for Christmas so hopefully it isn't diffective like yours
Dope man. I'm sure you'll still have a fun time with it. If I could give one tip, one of the first things you'll probably want to upgrade is the vtx antenna to get a stronger signal. Just keep in mind that the original arris needs one with a female adapter (I don't remember the proper name) but most antennas come with a male adapter. I made this mistake when buying :)
And make sure to buy a charger or AA battery tray for your radio as well as a mini usb cable (not micro) if you want to use the controller as a sim as soon as you get it. Enjoy!
@@MattPochwat yeah man, I threw all my fpv stuff away going into college and am regretting it, I'll see what I end up getting, trying to weigh my options for the best prebuilt out there
@@mase5083 get the nazgul. You won't be disappointed.
@@MattPochwat thanks dude I will look into it
Couldn't help myself brother I went on and got it the x220 but mine don't have the same controller mine came with the Fly Sky is 6 so what do I do what I need to do to hook up
how fast can it go
Some random speed
So how did it fly after the video?I'm fixing to order it being my first quad!I've been flyin toy grade for about a year, Mainly MJX Bugs edition.And the only reason I'm getting it now is because it's only $207thru Amazon.So is it still flying?
Mine lasted 2 flight packs and the motor locked up... Waiting on their customer service rep now to assess the situation... Had to send a video so their technician could help me troubleshoot.. lol 😂😂😂 takes a technician and a video of the motor not spinning to make a decision.. face Palm.. the way it's going looks like I'm out of 300 bucks. Oh yeah on top of that they didn't send my battery either and when I told them they told me to go back and check my box really good smh .. supposably they're shipping me one out now through ups
Go with a Nazgul5 I've seen one for $180 6s on aliexpress
Yes get the Nasgul 5 v2 that what I have now and it's way better than y Arris by far
@@Without-lies-Islam-dies0 I've got a quick question now it's cool 5 does it have a 4S I'm not too keen on a five or six right now because honestly probably too damn fast
@@raydesheles9205 yes mine is a 4s and I started out with bugs as well and once u learn acro it's all about stick control . U can go as slow or as fast as u want .
what good budget charger would you recommend??
Trick is put a toothpick in the pins of the xt60, old trick from impulcerc alien quad had the same problem. just push the tooth pick and cut the top part so it flush it will stay snug .
Hi man. I recently lost mine, could you please please send me a picture of the wire configuration with the top piece unscrewed? Let me know thank you m8
I want to get the rtf dazzle kit with qx7. Was your qx7 updated with access software? They dont say if remote is updated or not
Does the drone work with betafpv vr02
did it come with with a transmitter and battery charger for drone
How do u mount a GoPro to it?
Where did you by this
Bind and fly's seem like a great idea, but learning to build from scratch is the way to go, everything you could possibly need to know you can learn from TH-cam
love your videos..reasonable..in my country they are very expensive..even wizard x220 cost 1month salary..tax..tax..there is only one solution,order item 1 by 1 every month..waiting for about a year..😇 built your own..
He speaks the truth !
Did someone manage to find a tpu mount that fits the frame ? I didnt ^^
U live in South Korea?!?!
How much is it?
It seems to currently be $289 on rc-wing
I just got the Arris c250 kit with the flysky transmitter bundle and. . . I got It setup and realized that It did not come with a charger and It did not come with extra props too. I took it out for a quick flight and I realized that the video was super shaky, I could not see anything so I disarmed and It went SPLAT on the ground, luckily it was okay. I could not tell why this was but It was unflyable. I thought that I could just buy it and pair it too some fpv goggles, and I could fly everyday without any problems, but I did not have extra props and I did not have a working charger. I also saw that when you armed the motors they would not start spinning, but you would have to give a little throttle to start the motors so It wasn't Ideal for freestyle, and flips and rolls. Please help, Thank you
Sincerely Frustrated.
turn motor stop off in betaflight
I bought 2 batteries Amazon 25 bucks next day prime cheap 1500 4s yea crashing over and over again things get lose get the V2
Hi Matt, great video thanks! Will this bind with the 2021 DJI FPV goggles?
No this quad can ony be used with analog goggles. Also, there are a ton of newer quads out now. I wouldn't recommend picking one of these up anymore. Lots of budget friendly options.
@@MattPochwat Thanks Matt, I went with the QAV-S with the dji unit
Hy the drone is ready to fly
I had one...thinking of getting another but- I had one fly away on me one day (after flying it a couple weeks too)..I wasn't even far away and it acted like I lost range...anyone else see that before?
I have experience with all the MJX toy grade drones so I'm not that new or green , I know these are the next step up but gezzzz..
I would reccomend that you set your drone up to failsafe(basically just stop spinning the motors and fall out of the sky) when it loses signal or goes out of range, that way if your drone actually loses signal it can fall to the ground and maybe break something but hey, its better than losing it completely or it hitting someone when it does run out of battery eventually and just giving the FAA more of a reason to try and stop our hobby.. :-)
Rc planes and cars these days no batteries included
