That thing was ripping.
Fly as well as Bigger one's. Battery's cost less. Less mass so doesn't break as easy can Fly in More spots..
And no FAA on your ass. lol God bless great review. Getting some of those motors.. 4mm thick frame..
@@sleepingbearffg5008 Ticking all your boxes is it?
@@NickBurnsFPV 747 or fly all looks the same out of a camera. Lol
@@NickBurnsFPV You flew it ...a lot...gathering by the wear on the props and bottom screws -- that's the true test of how good it is.
one of the few reviewers that can actually fly good and show what the product can do. great job
Thank you. I enjoy flying, and prefer to take my time getting many packs in on a product before review.
Crazy.. Going back less than a year watching videos of yours I'm blown away how healthy and good you look nowadays! Awesome stuff. Just ordered me one of these!
Lol. Yea, its been a big turn around. this video was published a week before my official kick off of my new healthy habits. I appreciate you taking notice. Its a good feeling knowing that its noticeable and has paid off.
Appreciate you showing the different camera angles and the related effect. You were ripping it pretty fast early on with that high angle!
I really enjoyed seeing the fly-by of the drone in the beginning. This might be my first drone purchase.
Thats sweet hope they do a none hd version. I know what you mean about the weather was 70 out a few days ago then high 50s low to mid 60s woke up today it was 18 now at 3:05 its 31 out lol gotta love the teaser weather thanks for sharing Nick
We have had rainy days the last four days here :(
Just cruising around I get 12 minutes on a 4s 850. I love this quad.
Great job as always. Man am I glad you’re still around! Hands down the best review setup time and time again. Consistent and clean.
shucks, thank you. What did you think of the field cam shots early on in the video.
Cheers from Siberia, Nick! After 3 years of hesitation I'm finally in the hobby with Mobula 6 ordered and Liftoff practice with FS-I6 starting from yesterday. That's all thanks to you and your vids. I wish we had something as gorgeous as your blog in Russian.
Great, welcome to the hobby. I hope you enjoy it as I do. So much fun.
Поищи местный клуб, очень много людей в снг начинают интересоваться фпв
Do you prefer this over the Avio? Seems like longer flight times at least (probably from the lower kv / bigger prop?), does it feel similar?
This feels very similar to the avio, but the avio I reviewed doesn't have the HD/DJI....waiting for that to arrive. I suspect this can be flown more aggressively with similar power trains but a larger prop size.
My question exactly! Nick, please do a comparison video after you get your DJI Avio. Co0ol? 👍
This thing is wicked fast. Pay no attention to the F1 pilot behind the sticks! Great flying, man! As always, no "casual flying" here, you Jedi pilot you. I recently fell in love with microquads with DJI on them. Now I want this one! Keep'em coming.
Ok the new camera perspectives on the ground are amazing. We need more of those. Such a cool angle
I hoped some would like it, but sadly this is the only comment on the "field cameras". With the schedule release and extra time I had a nice weekend to explore doing something different.
Impressive! I only look at sub-250 these days. Don't have an hd setup yet though
So when are we gonna get DJI DIgital FPV System version 2?
I have no idea. Some are speculating their is a new air unit to come. Time will tell.
I like how they are able to make a top mounted frame without props in view and not a deadcat but more of a squished x so still retains some good flight characteristics.
Just got mine in the air today. A super nice back yard ripper and good in light winds out in open spaces for cruising. Be aware if you are setting up to use the DJI controller, you will need to reconfigure your Receiver channel assignments. The stock settings were wrong. Pitch was throttle and throttle was roll if I remember correctly. Easy to correct in Beta Flight.
Yes good point, this is typical on pretty much all quads. We have to match our radio channel mapping to the mapping in betaflight.
Does the drone come with a cable pre-installed for a naked action camera?
Great review, Nick! This quad seems like a sure hit! Flies really well and has nice, long flight times. And seems pretty silent too. And looks great. And no props in view. Seems like a winner for sure. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
The frame design gives us a wide stance without those props in view, I would think with the bottom plate thickness should be durable as well.
Has emax answered my wish for a lightweight micro dji quad?
How do the props handle when they get a little beat up? They remind me of the avan and those are really good until they have a few nicks then they are garbage. I hope these are more durable
Sub 250grams, that magic number.
Just picked one up. Definitely super smooth. I love it. I crashed it once already and the zip tie holding the battery cable snapped and ultimately ripped the power cable off the power distribution board. Definitely add more zip ties to prevent further damage.
Man you're a great pilot. How long have you been flying?
I have been flying about 5 years. If we used a small zip tie maybe just a thicker/longer zip tie would do the trick.
Max has some great props.
Hey I heard you say DJI controller but are you using DJI goggles as well? Are those version 1 or version 2 goggles? Looking at getting the whole setup. Thanks!
Yes I am using the dji radio and goggles. My goggles are v1.
Hi Mate, did you put an action cam on it? How did you recorded the audio? Good review and flight! 👍
the sound isn't from the quad, it's most likely from a different recording device. Overlayed onto the fpv footage.
ok so I just have to say that this is my favorite drone ...it is so smooth and as far as the battery I believe between the thin frame and the thin battery bad that the battery goes sideways.. i might be wrong but man its flies so well and the strap fits better. thanks for the video.
acro is insane on this drone..moves i never done before
hello Nick, great review !!
have you tested this quad with the stock settings or have you modified them?
This is stock, I do set my rates on each quad otherwise all stock betaflight
My first impusle buy in a long time. I got an email from Pyrodrone and clicked buy before reading the complete details. I just have a really good feeling about this one. It checks alot of boxes for me.
if you had to pick a fun beginner drone for freestyle which one would you chose ?
Well, we need more deciding factors. inside, outside, dji HD, on board recording HD, analog, prop size?
I think this is one of the more interesting products because you get rather easy under 250g even with dji fpv...
But if you would use 3.5inch props on a toothpick you could get some of the leavefyness like a 3 inch has and some power like a 4 inch...
maybe we need a 3.5 inch prop witch is comparable to the 3016Gimfan props and some thick motors like the 2202 ones by kabab to make a 3.5inch Toothpick ....
*Pls don't rush out there and by stuff for that and then be sad that it flies like crap this was only thought up ;)*
I like what Emax is doing here especially the flightime and Performance is Neath but i think this kind of frame design maby isn't that use full at 3,5 inch for dji maybe
but i think we need more testing to be Shure about that
but stiff a worthy quad
So i am on the fence with geprc smart 35 and this one. But to be honest i am looking for more speed something fast then my dji fpv. What would you recommend?
They are very different quads. I think it comes down to two points. The smart35 is limited to the nano camera where the BHII HD has space for a micro or what is now the standard size camera. But the smart35 is also designed around having an external HD camera mounted up top. Where the BHII HD can mount an external HD camera its not really designed for that. The last item I have is the smart35 could have an issue with arm durability. Not founded in experience or reported issues, just me. With that I would presume the BHII HD would be the better fit of the two for what you seems to be looking for.
Hey mate great vids and sweet review, could I ask what your pid and rates are you were using in this vid, ive just got mine and would love to try your settings please, thanks again
I used betaflight rate. Pitch and Roll 1.2, Pitch and Roll Super Rate .75. Yaw 1.30, Yaw super rate .80
You should spend a week here in the UK, mid August when we get our long weekend of nice sunny weather, or the British summer as we call it. You'll never complain about the weather in your part of the Union again! Lol
I am greedy aren't I. I should be more thankful.
exactly what you are saying happen to me the positive side came off as well as the capacitor and i didnt even fly it yet.... man i was not happy, but all and all it worked out and after the first flight i forgot all about my crappy soldier job.
It looks like the cg is off, slightly rear- biased. Is that something you have noticed either in flight or just looking at it, will that affect it's flight?
the cg is a bit to the rear, not really all that suprising with the vista in back and the wide motor stance. Doesn't really impact flight performance. We used to have to worry about that with quads, but betaflight has taken care of that concern. If its a huge difference the motors with more weight would work harder and we might have to adjust the tune, say adding a 100gram gopro to a quad tuned without the gopro.
Looking for more feedback on the emaxx 3.5 prop. What 4S motor specs should one use to build a racing quad that uses this emaxx 3.5 prop?
The emax 3.5inch prop is really hard to get right now. Unless you have some on hand it might be wise to wait until more shops have them in stock. At 1606 or something in that size would be more fit for racing.
Wow, you got some nice property there.
If you forward it frame by frame during your crash at 6:52 there's such a perfect shadow of the quad on your roofing that it looks like a piece of the quad frame itself lying there . Never seen that before!
I had not noticed that. Interesting find there.
Amazing flying and review, Nick!!! 😃
Pretty interesting little quad! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nick, what if we took off the 3.5" props and replaced them with those mellow pitched Gemfan 3"...are they the 3016?Or?
And then went with a little bit bigger battery, like an 1100mah 4s...would this double as a decent long range flyer? Mellower pitch on props, longer lasting battery, with slower more cinematic flying. Your Thoughts Please... 🤔😁
Worth a test? I think so!
We could even go further, with those props and a lion 3300mah battery discharging down to 2.2v/cell. I bet it would fly for 25+mins.
I saw your review first and if you’re impressed, then so am I. Then I saw Nurks review, doing an extended (“long range”) flight where he got 20 minute flight time with a 3000mah LiOn pack. Just ordered mine using your affiliate link because it was your review that sparked my interest first, thanks for all your great reviews.
Good to hear you liked the video. I did see Nurk got such a long flight, pretty impressive. I appreciate you thinking of the channel and using the affiliate to order. While this isn't my job, affiliate purchases do help buy quads and other associated fpv products to bring to the channel. I don't tend to ask vendors for products, I purchase when an item hasn't been offered.
I PUCHASED THIS DRONE I DONT KNOW IF ITS JUST ME BUT THEBPROPS ARE THE SAME EXACT SIZE OF THE 3 INCH.
I-Flight had their own 3.5" prop with their recent cinewhoop style quads that came out in 2.5 & 3.5". Another great frame option for using 3.5" props is the Racer X Twig XL or Mutant frames.
I believe the protek3.5 prop isn't t-style mounting though.
@@NickBurnsFPV Ah, good point!
That things rips! Sooooo smooth!
Sweet little drone
Love your Reviews/flying ! May I ask your Goggle Settings for these flights ? I have only flown with Air Units and Vista cameras..There seems to be a lot of blurry areas in the frame...So Power/bitrate/focus mode ?...If you know, Thanks !
I run channel 1, auto focus off, low latency, and 50mbit mode. I am using stock antenna.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks ! ..I don't know why it seems like there's a lot of blur...The Nebula Pro always looks so much better than the earlier versions normally. BTW Great channel and I so Appreciate how you run through the specs in beginning !
The Protek35 is also 3.5:)
Unfortunately it’s not t style, not compatible with this motor
@@NickBurnsFPV totally, lol I was just saying that because you said that the Avan was the only 3.5 you know! Love the content man, got hella into whoops because of you:)))
Great looking unit! Signs of spring here in Calgary. Close to my first outdoor flight!! Hopefully get a ceniwhoop under that magic number
maybe something like the cinelog 25. I sure like that one, but its not a traditional cinewhoop.
@@NickBurnsFPV so far I only own a tiny hawk 2, I love it but hope to go a km or 2 with a unit under 250. I’ll check that unit out. Thank you
@@damedcamera I am not sure of the control link limits with the dji controller/radio. Might need to go long range like crossfire or expresslrs to get 2km out.
@@NickBurnsFPV there are many choices it seems lol. Like you said though, gotta watch some reviews 👍
Hey Nick. Do you know if there is or will be an analog version of this quad? It looks great and I like that fact that they moving away from proprietary part mountings.
I don't know at this moment, but I have asked the question. If I had to bet they don't have an analog version planned, but might if they see a demand for it.
Just got word back from Emax, no analog version in the works. They did leave it open to have it later.
Will this Connect to my DJI controller and if so what version do I buy thanks
As long as its the original square black radio yes. Need to get the pnp version
Waiting for my DJI FPV Mini.
And why would we care on a emax review...
Right?! They literally have all the components between the spark/mavic minis + osmo action🤦
@@ChrisParayno I would rather learn to fly myself.....which they pretty much take away from you....
There is one other 3.5inch prop I can think of it's the Iflight Protek 35 ducted style prop.
unfortunately that prop isn't t-style mount.
Does emax normally sell the frames separately? I've been trying to decide between building a 3" or 4" sub 250 maybe 3.5" is the answer 😃
They do sell, but it generally comes some weeks after the product launch.
Hey perhaps I missed it but did you mention the motor mounting? Emax has this irritating proprietary thing 🙄
No proprietarty motor mouning on this one, they used their emax eco motors which is standard 9mm x 9mm mounting.
Heard the FRSky D8 built in receiver has a bad range. Is that true? Need to bind it to my TX16S. Just ordered. A mile range would be okay.
That is true. The range is fairly limited. I would estimate 100meters, or 200 with clear line of sight. Sounds like crossfire or something long range rx is what your looking for. Or the DJI control link.
@@NickBurnsFPV Is the FRSky R-XSR better than the D8 or the same range ?
@@chrisbee5481 R-XSR is much better. Depending on the environment you can likely get at least close to a mile out. I haven't seen recent range testing on an R-XSR, I would expect in a tradional wing test to get well over a mile with it.
Not in the market for a new addition but this another gold standard review. So good at what you do. Thanks Nick.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
Looks like it fly well! & it has DJI so the camera is 👍. I was flying at the beach yesterday following surfers as they caught waves, cool to do something different with my 3”. Nick I have a large zip tie protecting my antenna & after 4 months of pounding it into the ground numerous times it’s still fine
I bet that was fun. We sure don't have visually interesting environment around here, lots of farmland.
Can you use this drone with the goggles and controller from the DJI FPV combo?
Not at this time. Only the V1 versions
I have to leave that to others to answer. My guess is if you have or have access to the dji drone, then I believe so. If not, I don't think so at this time.
Hello sir could you do a video on bind process with this drone and the frsky receiver I was having a hard time
You should have a manual with the drone, it its on the emax website. If you have a new radio from frsky it likely won't bind to the emax receiver. The emax receiver as seen here emax-usa.com/collections/electronics/products/emax-tiny-d8-receiver uses the d8 frsky protocl, new frsky radios do not support this protocol without a multi module attached to the radio.
Great looking quad ! I’m curious where we would mount the immortal T if where going to run crossfire? Also how would you rate this one over the avant 4” quad you recently reviewed ? Performance wise. Thanks Nick. All the best !
I suspect we have to zip tie the immortal t to the arms, or a tpu print to mount it to. I prefer this 3.5incher, it feels more responsive and more agile.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks Nick. Ordered this one.
@@fpvnycdream_4197 Hopefully it arrives quickly
@@NickBurnsFPV it’s on the way. Should arrive early next week. I’m just concerned about getting my hands on more props. They seem to be sold out everywhere 🤦♂️
@@fpvnycdream_4197 yes, I am hearing getting props is a struggle right now. Thankfully the emax props are pretty stiff and robust, hopefully they will hold out until more stock is available to purchase.
Great frame! Strong and no real resonation like a lot of smaller frames.. looks like I'll have to get one when It's analog and just put the Shark Byte on it and I think it would make a cleaner build. Also surprised at the video quality of the nebula pro but then realized that YT put your video in the lower codec..
Many many asking for an analog version. emax said they have no plans for analog, but surely they are hearing enough about the lack of analog. I didn't check the stats for nerds, wonder why the lower codec. Been uploaded for days before publishing. I guess this little channel doesn't get the good stuff always :(
I did ask about a shark byte version, and the response was "no plans for that". I think emax might be a smaller company than I thought. They indicated they don't have the staff to have several versions.
Your dead air moments are pretty good.
lol. Thank you
Another great review. I dont know what I would do with your Micro channel. I'm huge micro fan. Glad to see the 3.5" getting some love. IMO we dont have enough. I think 3.5" is the new 3" I converted my Twig and WeMix to 3.5" six months ago and haven't looked back. Granted you do have to be careful with the KV of your motors and amp draw. But definitely worth looking into especially on a lighter build. I actually love those scimitar props just wish they had some different colors like transparent gray to better deal with the props in view. The orange can be annoying.
Thank you. I agree I would like to see some color variation. They are sticking to the brand colors.
nice flying, great review, and i believe those caps installed are 35v 470uf.
Thank you. Could you make it out in the video, or based on size?
@@NickBurnsFPV i saw the official photo of the board upclose from emax. So i guess this board can take only 4s.
What a great review as always, Nick. Ordered one. The props are now available, and I found the crossfire version in stock so I got it coming.
I would hope emax makes loads of those props. We will see nearly every company will be making a 3.5incher this summer. :)
@@NickBurnsFPV agreed, it actually took quite a while to get the props in stock but they finally have them. I saw that GepRC released their 3.5in too but it has the nebula nano on it, due to the chip shortage. 🤢
isn't the iflight protek 35 a 3.5" also?
You are right! I hadn't noticed that one.
Oh, that's the one I was thinking of. lol
looks cool, but they have lost it on the "Hawk" series...
baby hawk, tiny hawk nano hawk hawk 5 hawk pro hock and pock... what next?
Maybe this one should be the 250hawk, or legalhawk?

Hi Nick well I just finished watching the reviews on this quad. And I can't find really anything wrong with it. Well I guess I did. I just can't find any information about this quad in analog. I don't have or expect to purchase the DJI googles so I guess I just can't own it unless I build up one. Thanks again for the video and information.
No analog version at this time. I do see where many are asking emax for an analog version, maybe they will rethink not having an analog version.
Did you use your TX16S flying this? FRSKY?
No. I used the DJI controller.
Hello sir hello from France
Have you made a video about the wiring that needs to be done to use the DJI remote control?
Great video I've become a fan and I don't miss one anymore
I have not made a video on the wiring needed for the dji remote. If we follow this wiring diagram for the flight controller we have, we are able to bind the dji remote (black square radio) and use it to fly if we have the vista/air unit lite.

Just got the email from them about this!
I just got mine in and it seems mine has way more jello in the camera, any tips? Thank you
check the screws to ensure they are tight. Also look at the print to ensure its not cracked or otherwise loose.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thank you sir, that was the first thing I did, sadly it didn’t work. It does kinda look like the print is a little shorter on one side. Thank you for your time.
@@Jinkzed01 might have to do something temporary like wedge some firm foam under the camera. If you have a 3d printer you might be able print another provided the print/stl is available.

They are 3.5, but yes not tmount
@@Sircleanfpv oh yeah. Well those are some wacky props, most people probably wouldn’t fly those open air anyways
@@dauntlessfpv yes, but still I think the market will grow for 3,5 inch drones
It's been awhile since I've commented, but thank you for all that you do!
hey, thanks for taking the time. What are you flying these days?
with mine ive noticed when i yaw right ,,anything over half stick it jumps up ,,its fine when yaw left and yaw right just over half stick it jumps up ,,,,,why is this happening ,,,,,how can i fix this in beta flight or is it defective
I would check the stick movements in betaflight first. Also check the mounting of the board to see if its lose or has broken mount. It could be i term windup. Try lowering I on yaw to see if that helps. Its odd if your the first two are good that the pid tune would be the issue as emax does a nice job sending these out with a good tune.
damn looks fun to fly that quad
Looks nice, is there a Shark Byte version planned? Perhaps one without camera+VTX so we can add our own?
Not to my knowledge, but I can ask.
@@NickBurnsFPV That would be great, one without camera+VTX would be the easiest for them to produce, I have 3 Shark Byte cameras + VTX's ready to install in quads (already installed one in a TinyTrainer), and I love how well my Hawk 5's & Hawk Sport fly with Emax's tunes.
@@licensetodrive9930 When I hear back I will post on the community page, or just hit me up on FB or email in a few days. No word yet from emax.
No sharkbyte version in the works. Seems as though that isn't on the radar at all at this time.
@@NickBurnsFPV Oh well, thank you very much for checking it out, I'll have to see about making my own 4" long-flight-time craft with Shark Byte because my favourite flight style is flow-freestyle, not the hectic bando freestyle flying but out on top of hills swooping over the mounds and in their dips.
You think a GoPro will fit on this?
Yes it will.
Hey nick i am having issues with my babyhawk 2 hd ...i am using the dji fpv system and I can't get it to stop saying low power mode can not record? Have you heard of anything like this?
trying to start recording before arming. Two options, disable temperature on the vtx via the goggles, or set the goggles to record on arm.
have you updated to betaflight 4.3?
@@martincosta9961 no i have not. If a quad flies well I don't update. Updating means more time setup and re-tuning and less time flying. I don't see a reason to update to the latest BF version.
I love fpv but price of course Is way to high for me to get something good, but I still enjoy my setup.
yes sir, have fun, we don't have to have digital fpv to enjoy ourselves. We didn't have it for years :)
Do you have the PID’s tuning with the 850mah batt?
used the pid tune it came with. No custom pid tune from me.
@@NickBurnsFPV waw thanks for your answer!
what will happen if i plugged in 4s 1500mah ? is it safe to fly with that battery?
We can use it but I would be careful hitting full throttle or full throttle on a descent. The weight can test the esc with the battery weight
awesome rip sir! i like when u punch er above the house. thanks for showing.
Thank you
Hey Nick, great review as always. Do you know if they going to be bringing out a analog version?
I don't think they are, but I have asked.
Thank you sir.
They responded, no analog version in the works, they did leave it open ended.
@@NickBurnsFPV ow well, guess I’ll just have to build my own lol. Cheers for checking.
I hope they make a non H.D. one so i can fly one with my old car sharks!!!!
Great review & Great flying!!!!
I did ask about analog, they don't have plans, but when I see an emax post about this quad I see many comments on an analog version. Maybe that will motivate them to sell analog
Avio or babyhawk?
right now one defining issue is babyhawk II HD is HD/DJI only, we must have the DJI goggles. If we have the goggles, the longer flights of the babyhawk II HD is likely the next deciding factor. They fly very very similarly, also we have to decide if we want prop options or not, the BabyHawk II HD is using a unique prop, which we don't have other options in the 3.5inch size with t-style mounting.
Not seeing any reverse polarity protection.
What quad does have reverse polarity protection?
@@NickBurnsFPV All of mine, from now on...
Whoo that one really moves.
You can also fly the 3.5" Scimitar on a Racer X Twig XL.
So which transmitter works with it?
Dji transmitter with vista.. or you install your own reciever and transmitter
right now it will work with either dji radio or it can be bought with the emax frsky d8 receiver. I don't recommend the d8 receiver, if we don't have the dji radio we should add our own receiver for the radio we do have.
Depends on what you install for a receiver and what transmitter you use. You can install any receiver so it will fly with any transmitter. You Decide! 😎👍
If anyone is looking for EMAX Stock props for this quad, AddictiveRC in Tucson, AZ has them in stock as of yesterday when I ordered. Hope this helps some FPV'ers! 😎🤘
Awesome review! What are your rates?
Pitch and roll are 1.2 and .7, yaw is 1.3 and .8
@@NickBurnsFPV for both rc rate and super rate?
@@cheechfpv RC Rate is listed first super rate second.
Had to tell what you hit before the crash, looked like you were still some distance from
The garage and shed. Wow looks like a great backyard dji flier
There was a somewhat small branch hanging over the shed area, I needed more forward as I did the punchout.
Too many DJI-digital drones all over TH-cam to my taste. Still flying analog because of the costs and the weight...
Sometimes it seems like i’m the only one..
But I understand that when you van afford it and fly a bit bigger drones than tiny whoops the DJI system is great
your not alone. I still find myself flying analog more than dji. Being into micros the dji weight don't suit micros well.
Great video. Great price for this little baby. Thanks for posting.
Sure, it was fun to get to fly and enjoy it. You have DJI/Digital goggles?
@@NickBurnsFPV no HD for me yet. Im just getting started and have the BETAFPV goggles. Although im eyeing quads like this for future growth in the hobby.
Any spare uarts for a crossfire receiver?
While I didn't test crossfire the board only has two uarts. One is needed for msp/osd for the vista.
@@NickBurnsFPV seems the frsky version uses d8 mode, strange that I cant find a crossfire receiver option
@@reynolds81 Not unsual for emax. They tend to only sell it with their own receiver. We would have to add our own receiver.
@@NickBurnsFPV is the other uart inverted so to accommodate sbus? Just trying to suss if I can install crossfire because if I cant then the quad is a no go for me
@@reynolds81 To be sure I should ask emax. I don't use crossfire that much. Can't we run crossfire in sbus "mode"? We can often turn off the inversion via cli, but I could see there be a risk if by chance the board wouldn't allow that. I have a few questions out to emax. When I hear back I will post their response on the community tab. Or hit me up in the comments, FB messenger or email to remind me. Thank you
Do you know the motor to motor size of the frame?
emax website says 155mm, which seems likely as my calipers only go to 150mm.
@@NickBurnsFPV awesome thanks!!!
Nice! Does it have a spare UART for adding a GPS?
We only have two uarts :( one for vista/osd and the other for rx.
How are you recording audio?
secondary camera sitting on the table, then in video editing I sync it.
Great review! I'm not interested in going digital, I'd definitely be interested in an analog version though.
Your missing out.....
@@davidcanole3758 nah digital isn't many people's thing
@@jaredg.1805 oh I think it is definitely many people thing ....just not all...nothing wrong with the best FPV view when flying....I think some don't want to spend more money or they just can't afford....
How does this compare to the gtr349?
A bit hard to compare as the 349 didn't have a vista option. With that the 349 has more immediate response and likely all out faster as well.
@@NickBurnsFPV thanks. Am comparing the babyhawk 2 with the r349 and skyzone d135, and it looks like the d135 is not only cheaper but not too bad with different props. Which would you personally get out of the three, with price in mind?
@@M00nsave445 Well I think we can rule out the Babyhawk II HD, unless we buy used, last I heard from Emax they have no stock and don't think they will have stock for 3-6months. I am not a fan of the d135, seems half hazard, weird prop choices, the tune isn't good, the canopy doesn't give me confidence it will last long. I think for what you can buy the r349 is the best between it and the d135.
@@NickBurnsFPV I see. Which goggles do u use for the r349? Where I live the r349 is 50% more than the d135. That's quite a difference. But then am not certain which had more parts readily available
@@M00nsave445 I use the orca fpv one goggles with a rapidfire module. 50% more is a lot.
