hi what u suggest for me to buy eachine or other brand i want best battery life on hovering thanks iam newbie
@@TheAcidheat what model are you looking at? eachine have many. and to be fair any of them are hard to recommend these days
@@AndyRCchannel i want bigest 5 or 6s and longest flight time under 700euro thanks
FYI, The coupon for this says expired yesterday on the document. I though it was a typo so I checked it out and BG kicked back that is was expired.
@@TheAcidheat get the 7in Crocodile from Geprc. Check out his review on it
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.
As always great review, I had been waiting to see how the toothpick models would stack up against each other and this one looks very solid.
I agree!!!
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 just finished a phantom build with the iflight f4 16x16 micro stack with Beeta fpv 1103 8000kv motors, Runcam nano 2 Thanks for everything you do
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.
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.
Got it - Love it - Way fun to fly
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 😁)
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.
hey Xplore, what is your batteries ? gnb ? and HV ? and 80c ?
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.
Same dude, except I used azure power 2540
@@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.
Great review. Just linked and bought one with four of those batteries. Just loving your 'no-hype' straight up reviews
Cheers william, enjoy
Looks good mate been flying 2s little quad for few years flys great
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 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.
Perrfect 2 s!! Looks like a mini 5/6 inch! Love top and bottom plate, on a TOOTHPICK!
Me too I love a design that puts the batteries on the top..
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!
Excellent flight and review, Andy.
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👌👍👌
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.
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.
@@kydawg1684 i love this hobby!!! So much fun and so many good people!!!!!!!!!
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!!!!
Saving my money for hd fpv, now! Very excited for this.
Andy, your flying! Mindbending. Your reviews, invaluable.
Thank you. Very kind
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 😎
Geprc doing it right every time .. Take note please Rc model makers
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.
Great to see you like it. I ordered one a couple days ago on BG. Hope it ships soon.
i really like that im really into the toothpicks right now ill be adding one of these
Thanks Andy
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,
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.
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.
I just finished up a turbobee build but now I wonder if I should have ordered this frame. Maybe I'll build it too ! 😁
man andy you need to stop this madness my wish list keeps getting longer :P
That RSSI is amazing!
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
I agree, I love it. It has great acro performance and I felt like I could do long distance if I had a better receiver in it which is crazy for its size.
Good job Andy, i might just buy one after this !
If Andy says it's good... I'm gonna get it!
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!
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 love these videos. Im a big fan of GEPRC as well dude!
man this one is the eye catcher for me
Great info Andy- thanks picked one up on sale,
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!
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.
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!
Wow thats nice and clean work, great toothpick and good Review thxx 👍👍👍👌
Another Excellent video and drone I'd love to get one myself. 👌🏻
Mine flies great on a 3S 300mah battery!
hello andy I liked your video, this drone has smat audio, and can fly with lipos of 2s 450mah and 3s 450 because they are the ones I have, greetings
Cesar Gurc I Have 2 Of These, I Run 450mah All Day On Them, No Issues, Easily Get 6 Minutes...
this one or larva x ? what do you think guys ?
Hmmmm Too much toothpick this summer, its amazing !! I wanted to wait for the Diatone feat Kababfpv GTB229 or 329, then the Betafpv Hx100 released and now it's GepRC !!! To much choice, I dunno which to buy TT Maybe the Diatone is a bit more Hight en quality with his runcam camera and tbs nano vtx...
when you start doing that its just a brushless micro to me, same as the fullspeed toopick pro. its re-branding something thats existed since the arourarc ARfun
Another review from the top draw Andy💥💯😎👌
Looks like you nailed.it too!! ! And now soon you doing a Slayer cover (as tribute to their soon to end 38 year career) to a mad FPV flight!? Please!
looks like a winner.
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.
This or the Tinyhawk FS?
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?
It's 2-4s lipo. Why did you only flew it only with 2s and not with 3s and 4s?
I thought this was explained 1:07 pretty clearly?
@@AndyRCchannel you couldnt fly the phantom on 3 s because the red devil has 1102 motors..?!🤔
Motor kv
Andy Andy Andy you talk a lot.
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?
🤔👍😉👍
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!
Looks a lot like the (forgotten) Mantis85, which was ahead of its time I guess?
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
Hi Andy, menn you are good,, i wish i know 2% from youre knowligh..Ok i have the Imax Freestyle, im very happy with it..But is this drone better than my Imax Freestyle ? I mean shall i buy also this nice looking drone ? Pls help me with this choise..thank in advance..keep doing this good work friend..:))
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.
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
I love geprc I have the eligant looking like I'll get this one to
Wow. Do you recommend diatone Roma L3 over this?
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!
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.
Excellent .
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?
I have a sailfly and one of my motors broke a wire in the base of the bell, impossible to fix. They really need to put wider wire gauges in these motors to improve the resistance to crashes.
After that i bought 4 brotherhobby 1103 8000kv to replace them all, they will arrive in 2 weeks. I only use 3s and was with 75% throttle limit using albert kim's tune. But now i think i will need to lower the motor output to something like 60%, it is safer than using throttle limit, and probably retune the pids, because throttle limit doesn't affect pids, but motor output does.
I hope i made the right decision by buying an 1103 to put in my sailfly and i hope the fc holds the additional power. And also i don't see a reason to go lower kv, because higher kv are flexible, you can use 2s or you can lower the output and use 3s as if it were 2s. Actually bigger quads are starting to follow this tendency, emax have a quad with 2100kv (or close to this) designed to be used by 4s up to 6s.
And i think this is future of the hobby, probably in some time betaflight will realize that they can develop a dynamic motor output, this way people could use 6s batteries in 2500kv motors with let's say 70% output, and as the battery goes down or sags the dynamic output increases this % to make the quad feels as if it were at 25.2v throughout the whole flight, sustaining punches even at the end of the battery.
And thanks for the video! I think that if my FC fails me after my new motors i will buy a frame like this and a stack, it seems to really be a lot tougher. Or i wait till crazybee launches its new AIO V3 version that is supposed to have built-in receiver. Happy flying!
honestly i think an 1103 will push too many amps on a crazybee board. I see other reviewers advising it as a good upgrade when 1102 are going up in smoke. you will have to let us know how u get on
@@AndyRCchannel I will tell you guys when i get to install them in my quad for sure! I'm hoping 60% motor output is enough to keep the FC safe lol.
And also i'm having a problem of really low range o video signal, my antenna is a little loose, i cannot go even 70m away that it becomes really difficult to see. Do you know if it is possible to resolder the antenna or will i have to buy a new vtx?
Great Thanks
Love the videos keep it up...... Are you going to be checking out the diatone cube? Toothpick
Im planning to buy one, is it still a good pick or are there better models in this class that recently came out?
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 video! It seems that the coupon code is not longer valid. Any chance you have another from GEPRC?
Great review mate! But what about the Diatone GTB 229 or 329 - Nick Burns says good things, but I would love to hear your opinion - hope to see a review soon :-)
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? :))
Nice model.L👀ks fast no speed runs?
Hi Andy, thanks for another great review. How did you activate the RSSI?
Have you found a different prop option that uses screws instead of friction fit?
what do you mean the rapidfire was causing those lines?
Awsome videos, what flysky receivers would you recommend for this quad and which flysky receiver would you use?
Hey andy, do you think 1204 motors would be over kill for this model? i know the digital version are 1105s
That cute race drone
Nice quad, love to have one in my collection
Nice review Andy. Thank you 👍🙏❤️🤟🍻
Can you go into more detail on how you got rssi?
Hey Andy. Yet another great review!
You think it's possible to add a hd camera?
We will have to see what these micro split cams are like
epic i need to get back in the air
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!
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
Do you still fly the Meteor?
I know its been a while.... But would like to see a Final AndyRC Tune on this thing running 4.1 RPM 48k =), Ive made a couple tunes but im not a tuner. Curious what you would come up with. I know your THF tune was on point.
What pids are you using? my Motors are getting super hot and every time I yaw the Drone flips out
geprc phantom or iflight 120rs for 2s lipo
If i wanted to use screw in props where would I get the screws for the motors?
Cant find them anywhere.
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.
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?
