Thanks for the great review. I got this FC for my first race build- I’m going all out from the start :). I’m used to flying & working on DJI stuff (I co-own Madison Area Drone Service LLC) but I’m FINALLY getting myself back to the racing scene. I know enough to know that I’m still not an expert at everything, so I appreciate your thorough review. Well done.
Personally I like ESCs that are soft-mounted. In a harder crash frame bends, and bends ESC PCB. This usually has an effect of cracking multi-layer ceramic capacitors, which often short when cracked, causing an ESC fire. That's the reason I buy modern Speedx, Hobbywing, Aikon, T-motor and Flycolor which are all soft-mounted AFAIK.
My ONLY complaint is actually the foam gyro mount. It does not stay consistent. Propwash can cause the gyro board to move enough to throw things off. That said, my v1 was a good experience, and I'm gonna buy a v1.5.(despite my criticism of the gyro board), the 4 in 1 was a great, noise free (in my experience) esc board. A BIG crash (on my channel) killed one esc. So, time to buy new.... Btw, I never needed the capacitor. I had 0 noise. It's filtered very nicely...
I was hopeful Holybro would have come out without the floating gyro, like the DJI version . I use it’s predecessor today in my daily flier with no complaints . The movement of the ribbon cable makes soldering camera seamless , don’t like the idea of a cap that’s what pushed me to the esc fc vtx combo in the first place, looks nice too
Yes, it's the same ESC but with different silkscreen, higher price and better FETs (on paper). I've been running Furling32 45A since it was released and I have zero problem with it. Durable and cheap, all I need.
Still pretty expensive at 100 dollars but i do have the first one that came out. The AIO version for the seperate arm esc with the icm gyro and I still have'nt changed the double sided tape and it still flies great.
LOL, they cannot mount the cap into the small pads - when it tries to "filter", it actually discharge with quite some umph and then charges back with a lot of current. Mounting it to such a small pad with a small track would just burn it.
@@dsemolian3071 I went through bangood so it's just not worth jumping through hoops. This is like the only time I've had a issue with them so I'm cool with it. They save me tons of money. Stay up!
Hey, you mention, that you can easily replace the gyro if anything happends :) my ribbon just broke.. do you know where i can buy a similar gyro with that connector ?
does this new updated Flight Controller allow the use of Dshot and RPMFILTERing without getting Flags popping up? i know the 1.5 Version Flight Controller had issue w that according to the Forums
Hi, I have the same and trying to set it up. But as everything seems ok when starting to throttle up, if gauge passes 25% motors will not recover and starts spinning even more!!! any clue?
Hi just a question if you dont mind, when i plug in my battery the fc doesn't give a sound, but flashing the leds, and power go to the dji air unit but no response for the remote, any idea thanks
BRO! I really like your videos! , since your point of view: which is the best flight controller f7 than avoiding vibrations in the IMU? (Less noise in) thax in advance
4:38 are this paralel to Battery Or is it After Current Sensor? When I will Take 20 LEDs with an external BEC to it will it messure the Current with the LEDs together with FC, Motors, FPV System? Or are the LEDs separatet without Messuring? Can i Connect the BEC for LEDs with the end Of VBat Cable to the FC? When i Take an RXSR receiver Can i Take the R1(2,3,4,5,6) pad for Signal and T1 for Smart Port? Or is it only possible R1 for Signal(Sbus) and T2 for Smart Port? Also SBus and Smartport with One Number couple RX and TX die the same Number? Also are the costs Full Rxsr SBus and Smart Port 1 Uart or 2 Uarts
Great vid..and informative! Got a question if anyone can help. So can my 4 in 1 esc go right on the frame or should I place one of those jellies between the board and esc? Seems everyone just puts it right over the frame. 🤔
i not understand, i want orden kakutef7 but how can connect tekko32 have only 4 motor esc, how connect 2 more motor ? my drone come 6 motor or 8 motor have best.but normal this can use 6 motor how were conenct motors ????
I hope that`s not a silly question, but if you can help, i will be glad. Nice video. Can you compare Kalute stack with Pixhawk 4 platform? Despite the size, whats better? New in this stuff and searching for my first and long last decision. THANKS
That's the problem with the ribbon! Try iFlight's F7 TwinG or the CL Racing Dual. Don't need all that Mickey Mouse fluff. It is start-of-the-art in it's use of gyros. What is said about the MPU6000 just isn't so. The only reason the are popular in China is because they have a ZILLION which Invensense dumped when they moved to newer and BETTER parts.
@@govindkatyura7485 Let me know what kind of build you want. I'm familiar with most the fpv parts out right now. I.e. budget racer, budget freestyle, mid range, premium. And let me know anything you specifically want like do you want a pod? Bottom or top mount battery. If you're not sure, leave it to me! I love making the best drones for the price.
@@govindkatyura7485 it can be done for as little as $200 USD but keep in mind you'll need a transmitter and goggles as well. If you want more premium parts I know the best places to spend the extra money, probably motors and escs. It can get up to 4-500 for my more premium builds. (you don't really need that unless you're a pro tbh)
@@govindkatyura7485 for ~300 you can really have something reliable and durable. (That's what I fly myself) I do also have some old gear you might need: transmitter, etc. Lmk I could list it on eBay for you or something. Happy flying! 👍

Pretty sweet looking stack, dude! 😃
Awesome review!!!
thanx a lot bro, i m about to build my new quad... i will buy it
This video is on spot! So full of detail and knowledge and so lacking of bla bla.
The original Tekko 32 and the Kakute F4 is what holybro is famous for I think?? 😊
That’s one sexy stack, very clean layout, Im definitely going to pick this one up.

Really nicely done mate. Very helpful info. It is abit pricey at the mo £82 the whole stack, but saying that it would be a clean build. 👌
Are the Holybro ESCs rebranded Airbots? Because that sure looks like the Furling32 F3.
Yes, it's the same ESC but with different silkscreen, higher price and better FETs (on paper). I've been running Furling32 45A since it was released and I have zero problem with it. Durable and cheap, all I need.
@@Asu01 Sounds like just what I'm after for my next build. Thanks for the information!
What would be the prefered VTX for this FC? The 5V or the HV (in my case unify)? Which way will induce less noise into the video?
If you want to be super fancy step down your battery voltage to 8 or 9 v
Still pretty expensive at 100 dollars but i do have the first one that came out. The AIO version for the seperate arm esc with the icm gyro and I still have'nt changed the double sided tape and it still flies great.

You can use M5 for camera control (analog) :-)
🤘Bitchin🤘 Coincidentally, I will be getting mine in the mail TODAY!!
Me tOooooooooooo! Dronemesh has never steered me wrong. He knows his shit and I have so much less noise in all my flights because of his suggestions.
@@curbspank Cool!! I got the shipment yesterday, they sent the 40amp version, i ordered the metal 65amp... ;)
@@dsemolian3071 they sent me V1.0 and I ordered V1.5 not a big deal they all work well.
@@curbspank what the heck!!!???!!! My store has sent the replacement!
@@dsemolian3071 I went through bangood so it's just not worth jumping through hoops. This is like the only time I've had a issue with them so I'm cool with it. They save me tons of money. Stay up!
So I suppose if my VTX is touching that ribbon tape from IMU it is going to be bad right?
Wow! Freaking 65A the metal version! 😮
Maybe I get one for a 7" when I can... 🤔
I doubt you'd need all 65a. Your battery would need to put out like 250A bursts. 35a should be fine
Kakute f7 v1.5 vs Mamba F722??
Thanks for that man, have had my eye on the V1. Highly considering the v1.5 for my new build
Hey, you mention, that you can easily replace the gyro if anything happends :) my ribbon just broke.. do you know where i can buy a similar gyro with that connector ?
Hi, I'm looking at MAMBA F405 stack and there is no info on the escs, are they Blheli_32? How to you flash them?
What firmware r u using on kakutef7? I ve a brand new one with 4.0 KTF7. I want update to 4.1 but i see only HBRO and LEGACY for kakutef7
does this new updated Flight Controller allow the use of Dshot and RPMFILTERing without getting Flags popping up? i know the 1.5 Version Flight Controller had issue w that according to the Forums
is the sd card slot also for recording the fpv ? also what motors are best suited for a racing drone of 5 inch propellers
Great video thank u.
Is this the best stack out there today?
Still is.
Hi, I have the same and trying to set it up. But as everything seems ok when starting to throttle up, if gauge passes 25% motors will not recover and starts spinning even more!!! any clue?
Hi just a question if you dont mind, when i plug in my battery the fc doesn't give a sound, but flashing the leds, and power go to the dji air unit but no response for the remote, any idea thanks
BRO! I really like your videos! , since your point of view: which is the best flight controller f7 than avoiding vibrations in the IMU? (Less noise in) thax in advance
So can you run the air unit off the power of this FC running it off VBat?
Hi,great video as usual.
I m going to use a racerstar esc on this fc. To get current sencing what is the wire I would have to use from the esc? Thanks
Which Best 20x20 stack on the market?
You skipped camera control, this board has a camera control function. Digital or Analog. Anyone get it to work?
When are you going to announce winners of the gw on patreon?
within 7 hours
9:38 -9:40 lol hahahahahaha
Scratched IC
Chcrrrrrrchrrrr
That was the conformal coating on these boards for water resistance.
Ok thx nice fact you lerned me
4:38 are this paralel to Battery
Or is it After Current Sensor?
When I will Take 20 LEDs with an external BEC to it will it messure the Current with the LEDs together with FC, Motors, FPV System?
Or are the LEDs separatet without Messuring?
Can i Connect the BEC for LEDs with the end Of VBat Cable to the FC?
When i Take an RXSR receiver

Is there any reason to use dshot 600 with bl heli 32 Or is 1200 better. I think 1200 was dropped in 4.1
Hello there, any idea why i am getting all other esc telemetry except the current??
i not understand, i want orden kakutef7 but how can connect tekko32 have only 4 motor esc, how connect 2 more motor ? my drone come 6 motor or 8 motor have best.but normal this can use 6 motor how were conenct motors ????
does this stack supports iNAV KAKUTEF7 firmware? coz theres no v1.5 boards in iNAV.
Wish you did more testing. This video could be eliminated by looking at the manual.
Agreed
Can I use frsky r9mm ota receiver with this FC ???
Are the Screw Holes M3 or M2 ?
"ICM gyros don't make sense anymore". Huh! Invensense/TDK would probably like you to explain that statement. Can you elaborate?
betaflight cap..
I hope that`s not a silly question, but if you can help, i will be glad. Nice video. Can you compare Kalute stack with Pixhawk 4 platform? Despite the size, whats better? New in this stuff and searching for my first and long last decision. THANKS
Pixhawk- faster processor, more ram memory, 2 gyros on it, barometer,compass , 16 outputs, more inputs.. have connectors and not soldering
Just get either stack. An FC is an FC unless it has something special like Helio it those times g gyros.
The esc is more important than the fc btw. Go with tekko I'd say
Do you know if the four FC mount holes are grounded ?
Usually they are not.
The fets are crooked
Hey!
Can someone please help me..
I broke the ribbon cable on the gyro and I can't find any replacement :'( not even on the holybro homepage lol

Can you use the osd to sense objects?
No

Again you have done a beautiful job, can you just talk to little bit slower I wouldn't have to rewind so much. Perfect.
I will take it slower on up comming videos
Nooooo. That's what .75x speed is for. Don't slow down! Go faster!!
Hi mesh! Can used falcox firmware to this fc?
