Mister Jay-Deezy!! I love this episode. What youtube channels lack from the golden age of our becomings are the little details around modifications. I recently witnessed several new pilots trying to learn how to modify their bnf. They would power use youtube meaning multiple channels active about 1 specific mod. If that was me it would annoy the shit out of me because having to correlate something ive never done using several perspective is not very confidence inspiring. I remember back then when videos would come up 4 mods. The channel would use still pictures with orientation markers showing the viewers a absolute confidence they are doing what they thing they are doing instead of trial by fire. I wish you did this for this episode. On the technical aspect of the mod. Some still shots with graphic notation identifying key must know best practices would go a million miles for any new viewer. Cheers
this quad is very very very i have to say very good out of the box people. rock solid. these upgrades are to make it a high end professional grade quad.. So all you people saying meh its not worth it let me say it is. I have flown a ton of quads out of the box and for this lil guy i have to say it fly exactly like a 5 incher. thes mods are if you want a pro rig. i pay out about $400 on a base line 5 inch quad build pro rig. You can have this for about 200 and tinkering. Just sayin. I make theis setup for friends only I use the R9MM with tbs ant and an akk 200-800 with micro mc and ant. Now Emax supplies the xt30 in the pack for the bat mod.
I just got the stock version, i will definitely be making these upgrades! As a side note though, I can tell this thing is gonna last. I accidentally smashed full force into solid concrete the 3rd or 4th time i flew it and there's barely any marks. Love it.
Super funny when I ordered my tinyhawk I ordered the AKK 500mw vtx, that mmcx axii, already did the xt-30 and an rxsr. Just didnt think about cam because of the size. Thanks for the advice on camera Justin!!
A note is to not throw away the ph2 connector, just remove the heatshrink and solder a xt30-f on it, now you can use it with 2x1s or 1x1s & bridge connector on your th2 xt30-m
Nice one brother, great upgrades! You've addressed all the things I hated about that quad perfectly. I was thinking of using the tx03 so I can change up the mw output. Funny, I'm thinking of the upgrades before actually buying the freestyle.
@@brendanzaebst9011 considering u wi;ll use 1s input voltage difference VTX03S Ingangsspanning: 3.3-5.5V , AKK X5 Ingangsspanning 5v . the 5 volt from the fc board is a stable 5v ?? and this will work ? and the AKK FX4 Ingangsspanning: 7v-24v will not work on 1 sright ? or what vtx will work with with 1 and 2s ?
Nice upgrades man. Only thing I got to say about it that I don’t like is that antenna. I’m curious why you did not use a micro axii antenna. Regular Axii is honestly too big for that quad.
Drone Camps RC man this video inspired me, gonna order the eachine nano vtx. Looks like if I just follow your wiring directions I should be ok. Obviously at my own risk lol.
Thank SHIT i found this video. I just bought the V1 of the TH FS by MISTAKE, thinking it was the V2. So i ordered a new VTX for it but then it looked like i wouldn't be able to replace the one that is on the bird. Glad to know i now can.
Great video! I was almost going to buy this, because $100 is an awesome price. But if I have to spend another $50 on upgrades, better to just buy a different quad.
These upgrades are nice to have but not required to have fun with the quad. I think the camera upgrade is pretty important but you can have plenty of fun with just the stock setup as well!
50% increase to have a quad of this size perform closer to the reliability of a the 5” class isn’t that bad if you consider the maintenance cost between them. The value with a smaller rig with high performance is really in the transportability of the system. In my experience whenever a new “flight opportunity” comes and I wanted to bring rig that doesn’t require a lot of room. I take my th freestyle rig. A new place is for me at least is very intimidating. New lines of sight; people activity; wild life activity; weather patterns; etc are all risk factors that enhance or reduce the experience of flying a new spot. The smaller rig is excellent. Crashes almost never require major repair. People don’t freak out vs 5”!.. I’ve had the local coast guard land on the beach to regulate on my ass because people ignorant of what they are hearing and witnessing report illegal activity. I live in. Northern CA. I follow all local regulations. I honestly thought the coast guard can find a better task than regulate one drones on the beach “going over 100 mph with small explosives” was the reported call. I guess quad was spotted with lipo that was wrapped in “dynamite red” (more for my visibility when looking for he quad) electrical type. Which I can see how one can mistake a dynamite on my quad vs red lipo packs. I can only imagine someone who is familiar with the color “red dynamite” be the one reporting the explosives on board my rig. Lesson learned. Don’t use the color code of explosive devices. Lol
For everyone that is trying to Upgrade an R-XRS Receiver !!! You need to solder the Signal wire to the uninverted SBUS Singal (the Pad with the B on your R-XSR), then solder the other end from the Signal wire to the RX1 Pad on your FC. It is located on the Bottom of the FC. After that, go to BF and choose Soft Serial on UART 1, then choose Serial-Based Receiver and SBUS. Done
Another great video (I realize this is old and the Freestyle 1). 1. Is the velcro you have on the top plate for additional grip or dampening? You don't have velcro on your batteries do you? 2. Is there a maximum mw that the other components can handle? Can I use a VTX that has a 500mw? Would that fry any other components? My understanding is that it would probably use up more battery as the drawback.
I'm really interested in this quad. Your VTX upgrade looks to be a very worthwhile first upgrade as well as the XT30 (edited) connector. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
@@slowentropy4531 The Freestyle is good for about 100 - 150m. The Tinyhawk series is much, much farther than that (assuming you have clear LOS and no interference)
Drone Camps RC neat, how did you get it to talk to your flight controller? I switched the receiver settings in beta flight to the “serial based receiver” and “sbus” respectively but it’s still not registering. The receiver is bound and talking to the radio. Is there something I need to change in the uarts?
So, the black&red (vcc&ground) you solder directly onto the lc-filter? Together with the battery-wires? In my case, using an eachine vtx03, only 1 yellow (video) wire is left. Solder this one on the video-output from the FC? No problem I don't have the white (smartAudio) cable with it? Still works?
Hi, This is probably unnecessary question, but I don't want to fry something for what I saved money.Would the process be the same for flysky fli14+ receiver?
Thanks for the video. I did these modifications but can't get the smart audio to work. I can get the menu to come up in the headset but the drone won't accept any changes. I've played with the UART 2 and 3 options in betaflight. I can make VTX changes manually on the chip. What am I missing?
Yea I saved changes before leaving that tab. I never could get the smart audio to work on the TinyHawk or another quad I built. Doesn't bother me at this point, I've got everything else working.
I am going to use a frsky R9 setup with 400 Mw of vtx and go long. The 5+ minutes of flight time should be optimal. I may put on a small gps and have rth capability.
Really really an excellent job Justn, thank you very much for the valuable suggestions , always the NUMBER ONE. Everything seems to work well after the changes, but I noticed that the VTX card heats up a lot, you can't hold a finger over it, is it normal ? Now I see that I don't get the RSSI value from my XM Plus, what did I miss? I see RSSI on OSD google display, but no on my X10s.
Mine heated up really bad too, then the other day when I went to plug the lipo in, I wasn't getting any power to the vtx... fried. Hoping it was just defective.
Since I'm a beginner I would prob like to fly this on a 1S only first. How can you connect just one cell ? You said u cannot use it on 1S if you change to an XT30 ? You did mention in another video that there should be an adapter for 1S?
I enjoyed watching. Only negative point is that if all these upgrades are applied it almost doubles the cost of the quad! If i get one, I'll do the XM+ as my only Taranis is the X9 Lite so no D8. Query re the XT30 lead wrapped in the VTX antenna co-ax: In a crash that ejects the battery, will the co-ax still be OK?
hello so i did the upgrades but i can not get any radio response in beta flight i am using frsky x9d plus with the micro rx my video tx is working fine my motors just sit there beeping and i know i’m bound because i get a telemetry recovered or lost from my radio i’m showing two urts in beta flight and have tried both and nothing 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
would it be safe to splice into motor wire when switvhing out bad motor for new motor and then heatshrink around the spliced wires or is it only recommended to solder straight to the esc even though the old wires to the old engine are still soldered onto the esc along with the old motor atm because i havent gotten to it just yet
Hi so what did you change in betaflight under receiver to make it work? I did the same rx upgrade but the rssi signal seems to be reading the old rx on the board. Thanks
Configuration tab: Change receiver to Serial-based, and choose SBUS below that. Save and Reboot. Then go to ports tab and turn on Serial Rx on UART1. Save and Reboot. Check mappings and modes, and you should be set.
@@energyfordays Receiver needs to support telemetry and it must be connected to the FC's tx pad, not just the rx pad, and on the same uart. All you have to do is enable telemetry after following my above instructions.
Thanks for the very informative video. I have done everything except I left the stock camera and I use a eachine vtxo3s to save on weight. I prefer the hq props because of the throttle response in the high end. I’m using Tattu 450mah 95c hv batteries. My all up weight with the hq props is 82 grams and I get a full throttle flight time of about 3 1/2 mins. I really appreciate the Avon props for there grip and the big maneuvers like you said but with my set up the weight goes up to 87 grams and flight time goes down to 2 to 2 1/2 mins. It seems like to much amp draw. I’m really curious what your all up weight and flight times are with the Avon props and your camera and vtx?
As a sort of noob the upgrade process was super fast paced and hard to understand...got a Freestyle 1 on the way because my local FPV group got in on a group buy for $46 each😂 Are there any videos that maybe explain it a bit more in depth?
I did the same upgrade but when I do punch out's, the video goes black and once I pull back on the throttle, the video feed comes back most of the time. What is the issue here?
Did the receiver upgrade after setting up correctly quad disarms before reaching 10cm height then quad turns off with plugged and also full battery SHORT CIRCUIT not visible
I will fly through legs too!!! My wife cracked up....seeing that I randomly will throng my legs straight in the air for absolutely no reason...now I have a reason...I will leg fly
I enjoy your videos immensely bub! I have flown my TH FS for a few days now and it flies amazingly. I have a spare vtx from my old Hawk 5. In your opinion do you think it would work decently with the current camera that come on the TH FS? Keep up the good work!
I plummeted for the TH FS and bought the hglrc fd vtx micro v1.1. It says input voltage must be 5v, but in you tutorial you say to NOT use the original vtx power pins (which are 5v + -). Which pads can I use as Im installing an xm+ so those power pads are used to?? thanks for any help.
considering u wi;ll use 1s input voltage difference VTX03S Ingangsspanning: 3.3-5.5V , AKK X5 Ingangsspanning 5v . the 5 volt from the fc board is a stable 5v ?? and this will work ? and the AKK FX4 Ingangsspanning: 7v-24v will not work on 1 sright ? or what vtx will work with with 1 and 2s ?
Thanks bud for getting back to me I appreciate!! The camera is a little too big so I don’t think it’s going to work..but I got a runcam Nano 2 coming tomorrow..
I have a blade 200 QX that i moved to a carbon frame. I want to upgrade motors for more power and Thrust . Any suggestions. And fly with 2 or 3s battery around 900 MaH ?
Hey Justin, These are very close to the mods I wanted to do. The difference is I will use a unify nano 50mw, I can get 100 yards easy with trees in my way. My question is running 350mw how much did that affect flight time? BTW Albert kim is making a tpu mount for the runcam racer if I heard him right.
I don't think receiver type matters as much, as long as it's interfacing with SBUS it should be good to go. Just make sure Betaflight is set correctly.
Hello! Great channel!! Could you help? I was on beta flight with my freestyle and hit the reset tab because I was having trouble with it connecting to my goggles. Now there are no modes and it won’t bind up. I think I wiped out the settings. Is there any way to fix this?? Re-enter the settings?? I just don’t know what to do. Thank you. I hope you could help me.

I'm trying to find something similar to update my friend's TinyHawk II freestyle. I am unsure if all these mods are still necessary, but he got the all-in-one kit, and it has some built in remote. My friend has a Taranis I got on FB garage sale, so I'd rather update it with a XM+ that I have laying around. Any suggestions? All my searches just find the old Freestyle.
Can you make a video like this but the newer freestyle 2 version?

Isn't the VHB isolating the VTX and trapping heat?
Can I use low esr capacitor instead of lc filter?
got the tiny hawk 3 freestyle can i put better moters onit if so can you recommend some pls
Nice up-grades and awesome flying!
. 👍😀👍
Wouldn't the Phantom be the better qaud to choose instead of doing these upgrades?
How did you get the FC to recognize the new reciever?
Honestly after I upgraded the VTX the original camera was fine IMO. But each person has to decide for themselves.
would it be safe to splice into motor wire when switvhing out bad motor for new motor and then heatshrink around the spliced wires or is it only recommended to solder straight to the esc even though the old wires to the old engine are still soldered onto the esc along with the old motor atm because i havent gotten to it just yet
I also would like an sd card in there in order to get cleaner video for more cinematic purposes but im mainly into fpv

lool the th image looking waaaay better duude ......
I enjoy your videos immensely bub!
I have flown my TH FS for a few days now and it flies amazingly.
I have a spare vtx from my old Hawk 5. In your opinion do you think it would work decently with the current camera that come on the TH FS?
Keep up the good work!
I can’t remember... is it a smaller one or a 30x30?
@@dronecamps It is about the same size as the hglrc you had used.
What FC Filter would you suggest? I have one of these that the VTX it came with has a cold solder joint, so I am replacing it anyways.
I plummeted for the TH FS and bought the hglrc fd vtx micro v1.1. It says input voltage must be 5v, but in you tutorial you say to NOT use the original vtx power pins (which are 5v + -). Which pads can I use as Im installing an xm+ so those power pads are used to?? thanks for any help.
Can we run 2 inch props on it?
the vtx of choice is not available, any recommendations would be appreciated. And what are your thought about the Caddx Ant vs the Runcam Nano?
have you considered BetaFpv 1s f4 board to save TON of weight? and nano 3 camera ;-)
should i change any settings if i will add Frsky XM+ Full Range Receiver in the betaflight? or just bind and fly?
Cheers mate good videos thanks you!!!
I wanna still fly it 1s. Can I run a unify nano 5v to the camera 5v on the board then power ther camera from the vtx? Using stock cam
considering u wi;ll use 1s
input voltage difference VTX03S Ingangsspanning: 3.3-5.5V , AKK X5 Ingangsspanning 5v . the 5 volt from the fc board is a stable 5v ?? and this will work ?
and the AKK FX4 Ingangsspanning: 7v-24v will not work on 1 sright ?
or what vtx will work with with 1 and 2s ?
playmatee1 I did it and used a unify nano wired all wires to where the old vtx was. Works great
Can you please tell me, when you put xm+ instead of integrated receiver, how do you turn off integrated receiver ? Or it does not matter ?
Doesn't matter. Just enable UART1 in Ports tab of beta flight, and in Configuration change to Serial receiver and SBUS
So, with this setup wired just as shown, I will get the full OSD display?
Hey bud I bought a runcam micro Swift 2 would it be wired the same way? Sorry I’m new to this..
Just three wires. Yep.
Thanks bud for getting back to me I appreciate!! The camera is a little too big so I don’t think it’s going to work..but I got a runcam Nano 2 coming tomorrow..
does the vtx need at least 7 volts to operate?
Hm. I am gonna probably make XT30 mod and make XT30 to 2xPH2.0 connector and use 2s and 1s as needed. I like 1s because they are easier to charge.
I wanna buy one but id want a caddx turtle or something similar .
And in you want to do the xt30 convertion you just need to strip the wires and soder the xt30 to it??
Which settings to set when XM+ is installed?
RX is bound, but I do not get signal!
?
@@lookaroundfpv Thanks man!
If I want to change the camera to runcam nano v2 and install 350mw mini vtx. I need to buy full range receiver? I use frsky taranis qx7 transmitter.
I have a blade 200 QX that i moved to a carbon frame. I want to upgrade motors for more power and Thrust . Any suggestions. And fly with 2 or 3s battery around 900 MaH ?
Hey Justin, These are very close to the mods I wanted to do. The difference is I will use a unify nano 50mw, I can get 100 yards easy with trees in my way. My question is running 350mw how much did that affect flight time? BTW Albert kim is making a tpu mount for the runcam racer if I heard him right.
I’m running 200mw. Not a big difference.
Well done!
Will the 1X Flysky FS-i6X RC Transmitter work with this quad?
I don't think receiver type matters as much, as long as it's interfacing with SBUS it should be good to go. Just make sure Betaflight is set correctly.
Hello! Great channel!! Could you help? I was on beta flight with my freestyle and hit the reset tab because I was having trouble with it connecting to my goggles. Now there are no modes and it won’t bind up. I think I wiped out the settings. Is there any way to fix this?? Re-enter the settings?? I just don’t know what to do. Thank you. I hope you could help me.
can i use the rxsr receiver instead the xm dustin?
I'm trying but not getting a signal
For everyone that is trying to Upgrade an R-XRS Receiver !!! You need to solder the Signal wire to the uninverted SBUS Singal (the Pad with the B on your R-XSR), then solder the other end from the Signal wire to the RX1 Pad on your FC. It is located on the Bottom of the FC. After that, go to BF and choose Soft Serial on UART 1, then choose Serial-Based Receiver and SBUS. Done
I'm trying to find something similar to update my friend's TinyHawk II freestyle. I am unsure if all these mods are still necessary, but he got the all-in-one kit, and it has some built in remote. My friend has a Taranis I got on FB garage sale, so I'd rather update it with a XM+ that I have laying around. Any suggestions? All my searches just find the old Freestyle.
Curious I have older spectrum race vtx would that work ?
It should
Original Looks like same camera as the mobula 7?
it is lighter because original weighted with 2s 450 mha vs boded 2s 300mha :D
I can t pair freestyle with trasmitter tinyhawk s. Freestyle don t open in DFU mode
Fried my fc...... Neat lol
