Right on Andy. Exactly my thoughts the first time I flew mine in 2S 450 packs. I was immediately impressed. I hear a lot of whiners on the forums and social media sites about weight how this type of quad is a waste of money..... when these folks don't even own, nor have flown this model. Well it s great in my book and those other folks blinded by ignorance and inexperience will just need to live life without all the fun this one provides. Cheers my friend.
You are the best LOS pilot Ive seen on YT (aside from what Minchan Kim can do with a collective pitch heli). I've been flying for a few years and have never seen an FPV drone fly in person. I'm always somewhat jealous when people spectate my flights. I live in rural Oregon where nobody in my area flies FPV.
i always prefered top mounted mainly because i break more batteries with bottom mount...and to those people who say batteries are cheap....id rather not waste my money and intentionally break my batteries...its very interesting how geprc is always on the bullseye when it comes to keeping up with trends. Gotta give them props for this great product.
I bought one of these quads, Flew it three times with the bi-blades, Then Instantly put on some Gemfan 2540 tri-blades. Such an amazing quiet flyer. So much more performance on 2540 blades. Really like GepRc products.
@@OscarTRob I was always curious about those blades. Going to add some to my prop collection. Wonder if you ever figured out how to set osd with gesture commands. I just want to set the output power of the vtx. I read everything on it. And tried a number of things. So I just manually set it to 200 mw. I just always like to verify my power level in the osd before take off. Any ideas? p.s I can always tell if the vtx is working hard by how hot it is. Then I blast off.
Excellent review. Since I have been watching your reviews on these micros I have learned what to watch/listen for. Don't have your experience but the knowledge you spread is very helpful. Thanks AndyRC 👍💖🤓
For anyone coming along in the future, the Avan rush 2.5" props completely transform this thing. Much more locked in and barely any loss in flight time on a 450mah 2s (approx 5 minutes) Also much much quieter.
I'd been running 2s 450mah and I thought it flew well until I tried gnb 3s 300mah!! It really isn't overkill; feels way snappy and responsive, and no vibes. Love this quad, glad to see others enjoying as well. (I'll have to try out 2s 300mah 😁)
great job geprc guys, this looks like a real winner, stick a caddx tarsier on this and it ticks all the boxes, even the price looks amazing. as always great review andy, hope you get the time to push this little quad to its max potential with batteries and an hd cam of some kind.
Caddx Tarsier might be pushing it, but RunCam Split Nano will fit without any mods, you will just need to tape the board to top plate. Maybe move VTX to to back above RX. You'll still be a bit over the recommended AUW for 1103 on 65mm props but it should still fly pretty well.
@@FilipRadelic yeah youre probably right, it would be so cool to have a 4k toothpick though, i keep mistaking performance for load carrying ability and they arent the same.
I own this, but the two problems I have with it are the camera angle is severely limited. The second thing is where do you buy spare frame parts or frames? Can't find any. Any ideas @AndyRC?
camera angle suits me so i guess thats a personal preference. its a freestly model rather than a race frame so its not unusual to have a 30-40 deg limit although id say its pushing 50 at full uptilt on mine, perhaps you need to losen the screws some more? as for the frame its called the GEPRC GEP-PT and you can get it here bit.ly/2T80MfG
I love this Phantom!!!... I struggled in the Beginning to add a Spektrum spm4650 and lost a Buzzer Pad;(. I had to download a Special Build of BF4.03 and add some CLI Lines, but the Work was worth it. It flies like a Charm. I tested it with 3s 450 SLS. Much bigger and heavier then those 300mah...but it took it and i had around 3:30 Flighttime with some Punches Loops and Rolls. I ordered now 300mah 3s half the weight of these sls. I cant wait for this to fly again and again and again. Like my Cygnet 3;)
U have to solder Signal to the TX Uart and follow the Instructions here github.com/SpektrumRC/betaflight/releases/tag/4.0.3-SRXL2 You will find a bunch of 4.03 Releases there...pick the MATEKF411 for the Phantom. Before you update screenshot all the Pids and Filters and ure Private Settings. Happy Flying.
Hahaha!!! I want everyone that you want lol!!!! Can never have to many drones haha!!!!! I just need stick time more then anything! I got into fpv and my wife had our 1st kid. So i have still not learned acro because i am always working or watching the baby! Wish they had a fpv sim for x box1!!!!! I would love to learn without crashing so much!!!!
Great little quad but the screws are gonna need some locktite and the antenna tubes break easily. Otherwise it's a blast to cruise around the neighborhood.
Hey Andy, awesome video as usual. Well you sold me on this one for sure, if you don’t mind answering a question for me please, what size shrink tubing did you use for the VTX antenna? Thanks much.
Good Friend I've seen your channel for a long time and I've never seen such sincerity talking about drones ... Well, I learned a lot from you, congratulations on the excellent work👌👍👌
I have wated a toothpick soooooooo bad!!! I thought i would wait for a good one to come out!! I did want the Turbobee120 but now i think i want this!? Its so hard to pick!! Then again i still have a broke down car so i guess ill wait some more😢 ....... Great Flying & Great Review Andy! 👍😀👍
i made one myself the front end is switched around, with the standoffs behind the cameraplates the cameraplates extend forwards to protect the runcam nano 2 the stack in the geprc looks like a rebrand of the succex 16x16 stack i didn't have much luck with the vtx in it it overheats very quickly, after 2 min sitting there it showed 73°C the antenna popped off once in a light crash and after just a minute, the vtx burned out this is most likely due to poor soldering, there are many gas bubbles under the RTC[some numbers] chip, this can be seen under an x-ray i have replaced that with a unify pro hv, which is overkill [it no longer overheats at all], i recommend the eachine nano vtx, which is currently still in preorder, that one goes to 400mW if you want to build one yourself, get the succex stack without the vtx, or even better, the upcoming diatone 16x16 stack the diatone has the pins converted to pads, so you can connect your own vtx more easily i think i'll upload a video of my frame soon
its not a rebrand of the sucexx stack geprc have always made their own hardware which is why geprc were the first to have their dual f7. Regardless a 16/16 vtx is far too small to have built in thermal protection and most of the larger ones claiming to have it will also burn. Iv got 5 dead unifys that are suppose to have thermal protection... As for the overheating. Thats what pit mode is for. vtx's do get hot and you need to secure down the micro UFL with a heat restrictive adhesive called Kafuter. Its the same material used on the XM plus bit.ly/2MyxgON. . 400mw might sound impressive but RF power is not linear. 200mw in dbm is not that much less than 400mw its a trick vtx manufacturers use to make you think its double the power but if you work with DBM you will realize u are getting duped. either way best of luck with your build.
Good review Andy, ugly day to fly mate, sorry. lol Love the GEPRC. Another winner, in a row, from a company that listens to the right folks (wink, wink) and takes that ssoooo valuable information and produces a quad that WILL perform , out of the box, the way it shoud. Great build quality on all the models. Thanks, Jeff
That is awesome and it's only using a 2S HV LIPO! Just goes to show raw power isn't everything, you need a good balance for decent flight times ;-) And it doesn't cost $200+ . Nice review! See you in the Air!
Great video! By the way, is there any point to building tiny whoop style models for indoor flying nowadays, or is it inconvenient to get the individual components and better to buy a model?
Thanks Andy, think I may pick this up unless you can recommend anything better? I'm out of the loop, haven't flown or looked at quads in a few years now. Hope you're doing well!
So.. Since this video has anything hit the market that is better than this? also HD video? any flavours of this with HD? I want to go exclusively sub 250 and this class is looking promising.
Thanks for this Andy! It looks like I’m going to pick one of these up! Just a couple of questions, would you recommend a top mount toothpick more than this one? Also, could you please test the hq 65mm tri blades out on this guy? Wondering if they’re too much for these 1103’s! And, is the stack connected via cables or pins? Thanks for everything!
Thanks for the review AndyRC. Always providing good info. I am looking very hard at this quad. I'm not sure if I want a top battery mount. So far I have had bottom mounts. I am also considering the Diatone GTB229 Pro, and the SPC Killer Whale. I basically want to be in 2s-32 range in a micro but definitely would like 200mw. I do know the Killer Whale has a 100mw VTX and I might can settle for that. I would definitely consider anything you would recommend, so please do. Thanks again and keep it in the air bro!
I think I'm having a loss of connection to my flight controller due to the pin connection in the flight stack on this quad. Do you known if there is something I can do? When I lift off and hover I'm good until I throttle up or hard, then the quad does this silly flip to the backside and goes down like a loss of power. Any help would be greatly appreciated Andy. Keep it in the air bro.
Nice to see that someone finally got it right. Looks like a thoroughly enjoyable 'toothpick' quad. Pretty good price, given what I paid for much lesser quads in the past. Impressive flight performance & setup. Thanks for the review. Cheers!
Very cool informative video Andy. After I have had hours in the sky due to being a newbie pilot I may get a small racing quad. By way, advice. If I happen to scratch or very slightly chip any of my H501 Advanced propellers due to landing in the grass or ticker grass, can I get a bit of wet and dry sandpaper to smooth off edges a bit, or do I need to always put fresh blades on?
hey AndyRC, I want to buy this drone but don t have any radio and I heard that I shouldn't t buy frsky radios... so I thought buying it PNP and add elrs receiver with the radio master Zorro or jumper t pro. do you think it s a good idea and better than the XM+? thank you so much!!
Great review as always Andy. Quick question. My much loved Babyhawk R 2 inch died on me today. I am after a replacement 3S micro quad to take its place, and maybe extend flight time a little. Would you recommend the phantom and is a Tattu 3s 450 too much weight? I have a US65 1s, Trashcan for 2S and a GEPRC Cygnet CX2 for 4S.
Really like this review and the quad. I am a beginner, have built a really crappy 5" build (on a QAV210-like frame) and an Avant X3 Evo 3" build. The 3" is much more friendly for me, I tend to run 2 practice runs on the 3" (on 3S 850) and then switch to the 5" on 4S 1,3 packs. I really like the idea of having a small and light (!) quad, that flies like the big ones (good range for RX and FPV signal), but if I might crash it the consequences are much milder. Like not breaking everything on the frame and destroying components. I would probably consider this quad alongside with the GNB 2S 300 mAh batteries. I reckon that this will be a great way to learn flying without destroying the 5" totally due to some noob mistake.
Yes, it's my preferred battery for this quad. The gnb 3s 300mah lipos weigh the same as gnb 2s 450mah. More punch, no vibes, the only problem is a limit to the camera tilt because of the cam wires hitting the bottom plate.
How come you landed at 300mah used? The lipo you provide a link to has 300mah capacity? Was it a larger battery? I thought it was good practice to land at ~80% of the battery's capacity i.e. 240mah
Thank you for your excellent video. I purchased a geprc phantom from Banggood with a Redcon R720x receiver (DSMX protocol). I can get it to bind to my DX6 or DX6e, activate the mode lights but cannot get it to arm. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for your help!
I am very happy with it, only the caddx did not work. swaped it for a spare and it worked. To my E-mails to the support unfortunetly no one will react.
I totally agree with you about the motors and this class running 3s. 3s is such overkill when 2s is the sweetspot. I run the 1102 10000kv on 1s and have loads of fun in smaller areas. I had already calculated 1103 8000kv on 2s will be a sweet spot for some good ripping 😎
I love to see your reviews I am a follower of you, I am starting this hobby drone race, is this the most appropriate? I have the Tyro 99 and the larva x HD am I thinking of buying the one that tells me? 🤔👍😉👍
Same here. Hearing the Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle may have some reliability issues (high fail rate after three months), I wonder if this would be a good pick even today (and does it still ship with that ancient Betaflight version we see in the video? :))
A friend of mine just bought one and I hepled him set it up. I noticed that it came with stock bf pids. Even though it still flies pretty good, did you adj the pids at all or did u just leave it on stock pids ? Thx.
Hey Andy, because of your review i bought the copter and never regeted it. Now I switched to DJI. What do you think about the HD version? You think its also as good? Thanks in advance.
Little question, shall i buy 4x2 2s Alienmodel LiPo’s or shall i buy 3x2 3s LiPo’s, is there actually that much difference between 2 and 3s, and yes the HD version is good!
Your Geprc is totally awesome ..In order to complete my Sailfly build, what motors and flight controller do you recommend...thank you Andy for sharing!
Is the quality of components similar to the quality of components on emax tinyhawk freestyle? Which is better from your perspective this or th freestyle?

Took a break from flying for a little and glad to see your still making awesome videos 👍 keep up the great work Andy
Thank you
I ordered mine a few days ago. Can't wait for it to get here. Thanks for the review as always you do a bang up job Sir Andy.

Cheers william, enjoy
Looks good mate been flying 2s little quad for few years flys great
I love this Phantom!!!... I struggled in the Beginning to add a Spektrum spm4650 and lost a Buzzer Pad;(. I had to download a Special Build of BF4.03 and add some CLI Lines, but the Work was worth it. It flies like a Charm. I tested it with 3s 450 SLS. Much bigger and heavier then those 300mah...but it took it and i had around 3:30 Flighttime with some Punches Loops and Rolls. I ordered now 300mah 3s half the weight of these sls. I cant wait for this to fly again and again and again. Like my Cygnet 3;)
So what do I have to do to put it on spektrum?
U have to solder Signal to the TX Uart and follow the Instructions here github.com/SpektrumRC/betaflight/releases/tag/4.0.3-SRXL2
You will find a bunch of 4.03 Releases there...pick the MATEKF411 for the Phantom. Before you update screenshot all the Pids and Filters and ure Private Settings. Happy Flying.
Man just thought I had enough drones, now I have to buy the emax Babyhawk 4 Pro, diatone 369, and now the geprc toothpick!! I’m gonna go broke.
same mate i cant afford Andyrc's channel any more. the wife will go bloody mad. but its probably small enough she wont notice right?
No such thing as "enough"..... what an awesome hobby.

Great Flying & Great Review Andy!
👍😀👍
Great to see you like it. I ordered one a couple days ago on BG. Hope it ships soon.
man andy you need to stop this madness my wish list keeps getting longer :P
i made one myself
the front end is switched around, with the standoffs behind the cameraplates
the cameraplates extend forwards to protect the runcam nano 2
the stack in the geprc looks like a rebrand of the succex 16x16 stack
i didn't have much luck with the vtx in it
it overheats very quickly, after 2 min sitting there it showed 73°C
the antenna popped off once in a light crash and after just a minute, the vtx burned out
this is most likely due to poor soldering, there are many gas bubbles under the RTC[some numbers] chip, this can be seen under an x-ray
i have replaced that with a unify pro hv, which is overkill [it no longer overheats at all], i recommend the eachine nano vtx, which is currently still in preorder, that one goes to 400mW
if you want to build one yourself, get the succex stack without the vtx, or even better, the upcoming diatone 16x16 stack
the diatone has the pins converted to pads, so you can connect your own vtx more easily

If i wanted to use screw in props where would I get the screws for the motors?
Cant find them anywhere.
Could you swap out the camera for a HD one if so what one would you recommend?
Hey andy, do you think 1204 motors would be over kill for this model? i know the digital version are 1105s

This or the Tinyhawk FS?
this one or larva x ? what do you think guys ?

4:08 How does a top mount require more weight than an underneath mount?
Top and bottom plate have to be elongated so the lipo fits on the top

I really like the idea of having a small and light (!) quad, that flies like the big ones (good range for RX and FPV signal), but if I might crash it the consequences are much milder. Like not breaking everything on the frame and destroying components.
I would probably consider this quad alongside with the GNB 2S 300 mAh batteries.
I reckon that this will be a great way to learn flying without destroying the 5" totally due to some noob mistake.
Can I use a 3S 300 mah ? How would that affect it ?
explained at 1:07 cheers
I see but can I run 3S on 1105 5500KV with 12A ESC ?
Yes, it's my preferred battery for this quad. The gnb 3s 300mah lipos weigh the same as gnb 2s 450mah. More punch, no vibes, the only problem is a limit to the camera tilt because of the cam wires hitting the bottom plate.
Most reviews Iv seen used 3s lipos
Awsome videos, what flysky receivers would you recommend for this quad and which flysky receiver would you use?
I have a Lot of vibrations on Stock PIDs. Am i the only one? What settings did you guys use?
Now I want one. Checked out BG though and it seems the coupon code you linked is expired. Would you happen to have another one?
Do you still fly the Meteor?
How come you landed at 300mah used? The lipo you provide a link to has 300mah capacity? Was it a larger battery? I thought it was good practice to land at ~80% of the battery's capacity i.e. 240mah
It is a good practice but 2s batteries are so cheap people are more willing to abuse them.
Any idea of how it would handle EMAX Avan Rush? Would it draw too much Amps on 2/3s?
Andy, do you have any documentation on the flightstack? I cannot find anything. And GepRc is not answering. It is NOT the iflight stack btw.
I want to purchase this will it work with me flysky fs-i6x without me having to solder a flysky receiver to the board?
Hi, i bought this toothpick and i reset the setting by mistake, where can i get the standard setting for this quad ?
Hi Martin, I did the same, did you have any luck finding it?
If Andy says it's good... I'm gonna get it!
Do you still have the stock CLI dump for this? Or where can I find it?
Thank you for your excellent video. I purchased a geprc phantom from Banggood with a Redcon R720x receiver (DSMX protocol). I can get it to bind to my DX6 or DX6e, activate the mode lights but cannot get it to arm. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for your help!
i really like that im really into the toothpicks right now ill be adding one of these
Thanks Andy
I am very happy with it, only the caddx did not work. swaped it for a spare and it worked. To my E-mails to the support unfortunetly no one will react.
Hi Andy, thanks for another great review. How did you activate the RSSI?
Would this be able to carry a Full Hd camera? like a runcam split.
Too heavy. Any extra weight is too much.
I totally agree with you about the motors and this class running 3s. 3s is such overkill when 2s is the sweetspot. I run the 1102 10000kv on 1s and have loads of fun in smaller areas. I had already calculated 1103 8000kv on 2s will be a sweet spot for some good ripping 😎
I love to see your reviews I am a follower of you, I am starting this hobby drone race, is this the most appropriate? I have the Tyro 99 and the larva x HD am I thinking of buying the one that tells me?
🤔👍😉👍
Does it makes sense to buy this in 2020 or better wait for the Vista version, as with everything else? Lol.
MindRider same question here
Same here. Hearing the Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle may have some reliability issues (high fail rate after three months), I wonder if this would be a good pick even today (and does it still ship with that ancient Betaflight version we see in the video? :))
great review. should have one within 10 days so can not wait.
Little question, shall i buy 4x2 2s Alienmodel LiPo’s or shall i buy 3x2 3s LiPo’s, is there actually that much difference between 2 and 3s,
A friend of mine just bought one and I hepled him set it up. I noticed that it came with stock bf pids. Even though it still flies pretty good, did you adj the pids at all or did u just leave it on stock pids ? Thx.
Hey Andy, because of your review i bought the copter and never regeted it. Now I switched to DJI. What do you think about the HD version? You think its also as good? Thanks in advance.
Little question, shall i buy 4x2 2s Alienmodel LiPo’s or shall i buy 3x2 3s LiPo’s, is there actually that much difference between 2 and 3s, and yes the HD version is good!
Is there an onboard DVR you recommend to add to this?
I have just placed an order for the LARVA X ,is the geprc better option?
Is it supposed to run on a 3s? Or is their website wrong?
hi andy some times when i arm my quad i get a badrx on my screen what does it mean?
Standing too close to the quad
Your Geprc is totally awesome ..In order to complete my Sailfly build, what motors and flight controller do you recommend...thank you Andy for sharing!
the crazybee boards cant seem to handle any more than an 1102 motor. I beleive if you were to stick an 1103 on there it would blow the board
That RSSI is amazing!
hey! Love the vid. What do u set voltagewarning on?
I set it to 3.4
Any chance of installing a Caddx Baby Turtle or Runcam split 3 nano?
Love the videos keep it up...... Are you going to be checking out the diatone cube? Toothpick
Hmmm, GepRC Phantom or Diatone GTB 339/229? The GepRC and GTB 229 are in stock for pick-up at my LHS but the 339 sadly isn't.
Andyrc how did you get the RSSI to work on the the osd...
I turned my on but is stays at 49 and never changes value.
Is the quality of components similar to the quality of components on emax tinyhawk freestyle? Which is better from your perspective this or th freestyle?
Good job Andy, i might just buy one after this !
I see space for a runcam split micro .. Would it fit into it ? Big greetz from germany...
possibly but would send the weight up so id use something that can handle stronger props
Great vid. Bought one! How should I set the warning voltage with the gnb 300mah?
3.5v per cell
How long did it take BangGood to deliver your phantom?
