Yeah I think a lot of people forget about the Whoops once they get to fly open prop design.This Chanel & Whoops was how I learned how to fly. And a purchase from Adam Bomb 2.5 Tomoquad build was my next step up from whoops! And where I really was able to dial in acro flight. Now 10k and over three years later..lol...I like to really show my sincere respect to all the inventors & developers to the whoop community bringing this hobby to where it is today!😀 And most of all!!! Thank you Nick for taking the time to answer all my many questions back in those noob days almost three years ago now Guys like you is what makes this community great!😀 HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS NICK! & HAPPY NEW YEAR
A long way from a walkera ladybird with micro vtx + cam I used to fly to a mobula 6. These were the days when an 8inch quad was “small“. B) And I loved my early brushed racer so much. And now everybody loves the small rockets too. :)
You dont hear much from the original whoop guys anymore unless your on a forum or blog rc groups, etc..and every once in a while they might post. For me they are the legendary guys that innovated fpv to where it's at today. I started with brushed toy whoops with a camera added on top of it ..and TH-cam chanel like this one. Learning everything I could about fpv. And now after hundreds of builds at all different sizes I find myself right back where I started. I also like to give a great amount of gratitude to all those guys mentioned in this video & also you to Nick for pumping out great content as always for so long! I remember starting to talk to you back in Aug 2018 ..lol...Wow how time has went by! Cheers🤗
Yes sir. The guy I think doesn't get enough credit is Benedict. He was all about the micros and was the leader in brushed motors. Plus he was very interesting to listen to. I think he had to close up shop and move on due to family health issues. :(
I am so damn happy! I love this new hobby and pop my cherry on this Mobula6 and Moblite7. Short story: I had purchased a 2nd Moblite7....the first was (now is resurrected) an awesome flyer and the second one was bought BEFORE I almost scraped the first. The first one had a bad battery ground and tried to resolder it back. I have a good iron and rusty skills on soldering. I ended up cooking the board due to the solder included in a kit (solder was the higher temp 99% tin) and using almost the max heat. Not to give up, I got the Newbee drone field fix it kit. Didn't use the supplied iron. Practice and more practice on the cooked board and the "practice" board that was supplied. I did good. Board worked, my solder joints for the motors is good to very good. Power and ground was decent. Two motors were reversed. Took a day too figure how to fix. But Bl heli and Betaflight and many many youtube videos later...done.
Looks like my first quad. Build it 2 years ago with an eachine E011, a crazybee F3, a turbowing camera and VTX. Still working! The camera is between the hoops fixed with some double sided tape and a rubberband.
Yea its old xD But for people who dont want to tinker its good but the hardware won't last so basically if you dont like to repair / fix id not let a beginner fly this . Good things is the new FC and the HQ 40 biblades i want to test .
Ooo sweet! I commented probably close to 2 years ago saying how my go to whoop is my inductrix plus because it had more flight time than any brushless whoops at the time. This changes things now. I’ll have to get one. Thanks for the video!
Got my MobLite 6 and 7 two days ago. On my small indoor course I was getting 9 to 10 1/2 minutes of flight time on the moblite7 with the 650mah battery flying 40% to 50% throttle. First time I ever saw the blinking 10 minute warning on the OSD. For the MobLite 6 I was getting almost 5 minute flights on the included 300mah battery. Thanks for the review..... John from Chicago
Got my Moblite 7 today and experienced the hopping on take off like Nick mentioned.. Turned off "Always Enable Air Mode" Off and it stopped. I am no Nick Burns in the flying but I am impressed so far with this thing. Long flight times indoors in my house ,7 to 8 minutes just cruising around in acro mode. We shall see how this thing holds up. Going to try some 300mah,450,and 520 mah lipos too.
@Nick Burns hey man, I couldn't agree with you more when you said that the prop puller is totally useless for pulling props but if you need unhook a motor that uses a connector from the esc then its definitely the right tool for the job! Not sure if you already knew that or not but i figured I'd share incase you or anyone else didn't because that definitely a great little nugget of fpv knowledge that I feel hasn't been talked about very much but think the everyone in the micro community deserve to know. Wow my message ended up much longer then expected when I started out but in the future if even one motor is saved from getting is connected ripped of or even worse and having a wire or its wires torn off then it was all worth it in the end !!!!🤣 Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!!!
Funny we were doing this mod on the M6 over a year ago documented on RCGroups M6 thread and on FB Whoop groups etc. For even lighter build u can use a rubber band to secure the cameras to the front and use those nylon screws. Shutterbug has ton's of other to make them lighter. It's good to see that the vendor must be paying attention to the community. I recall you converting your M6 into a 75mm frame for better performance as well. As always great content.
2:50 in Betaflight CLI do "set crash_recovery=ON" and should be able to recover from such crash even in Acro Mode. Helped me a lot to start with acro inside since I used to crash a lot at the beginning.
Secret project hu? Excited to see it. I also owe mr benidict thanks for my early whoop days, remember rambo whoop?? Put a 250mah in that 65mm and thank me later! It works on brushless whoops too! Ive been building alot of mobula whoops myself.
Hi Nick, yes I saw Mr Shutterbugs' video on his light whoop and that's what prompted got me to order the Moblite 6&7, great to see you got yours so quickly, good reviews as always. Thanks.
Just took my mobula6 and put the motors, fc and camera onto a mobula7 frame. Wow. What a difference! Went from 90 sec flight times to well over 3 minutes using the stock original 1s 300mah batteries. Highly recommend. Using 4 blade HQ 40mm props with 2 of the blades cut off on the original mobula6 19000kv motors. Excellent performance!
At first sight I was thinking " um...nick you might need a flight controller on that thing before you can take it out for a flight, I dont think it will fly with just the camera and vtx on there!!" 😁
Thanks Nick. Your vids are always informative. I wanted to pass on a little trick i've been testing out, soak your plastic frames in WD40 overnight, it will help them not crack as much, especially during the winter. This comes from backyard RC racing club, we'd all soak our A-Arms in WD40, and many other parts that we broke all the time!
That moblite7 looks fun! I’m really interested in that fc, I really like the proper receiver antenna and 200mw vtx. Hopefully the fc is reliable and those props are available soon to upgrade my own mobulow7 in the more durable Mobula7 v3 frame. Thanks for another great review and stay safe.
Why does it recommend 650mha ?? Like they go alll this way to make the quad as lite as possible and than slap that big battery on it for no reason like whyy , odherwise good stuff
I'm curious of the durability of parts being more exposed? And the fact that they aren't plug and play, so could be interesting to see! Thanks for the review Nick and wish you and your whole family a very merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
Wow, very impressive how Happymodel keep innovating the micro RTF world, inspired by community experiments. I am a huge fan of Shutterbug, who has been working on these type of light builds. Should we call them nano, since they are so light and small. Looks like they fly really great. Thank you for the review, I did see them on BG X-mas sales, and was wondering how they fly. I am very impressed.
Litterally made two ultralight 65 & 75 two days ago 19 grams for the 65 with 0802 19000 happymodel motors crazybee lite board beta frame and lite camera 26 grams on the 75 with 1102 18000kv betafpv motors crazybee lite board mobula 7 frame and the beta pro cam Both super fast and handle great most parts are what I had lying around in my junk box Hot glue works great for a camera mount 😂
I was very impressed with Mr. Shutterbug's Super lightweight Whoop. I was thinking of building one until this ones come out. I like to get me one of these instead and maybe mod it with a RD3 Shifters whoop frame. Great review as always. That looks like a hubsan clear prop. I still get plenty of them. Anyway Happy Holidays and Great New Year!
Damn! I was so impressed by a Shutterbug’s version with mobula7 frame back when he posted his video, so I immediately ordered the parts he recommended. It took a while before the parts were delivered and I just finished building it last weekend. And it turns out we can just buy a bnf now )) But anyway, mine is with crossfire and betafpv board and it weights the same as this one. It is super fun to fly and it feels very controllable. The only drawback is that the glued camera can come off in a crash, and this is exactly what happened yesterday.. So indeed I recommend getting a version 7 of this two. I think this is the best whoop so far for the indoor flying.
@@NickBurnsFPV I used e6000 plus. Couldn’t find the regular one here. It holds pretty good, but didn’t survive a bad crash. Also ripped the 5v wire from the camera together with the pad and had to solder the wire directly to the resistor. So durability is the main concern here, but I still think this one is the best whoop you can get for the money.
Literally just started watching Rotor Riot's latest video and this notification came in! Ah well, that can wait 30 minutes :) Wait, 30 minute Mobula review video? Niiice
Put 48k ore even 96k on the esc's .... it improves the flightime substantially overall i think it's a verry neath quad =) waited for that video for a long time
Got 48khz and rpm bf 4.2.9 on my mob 6 hd the hd cam gave up the ghost so I put a small cam I had in the front with heat glue and no canopy ways 20g without battery it's the most fun IV had in a long time round the garden shooting gaps 5 min flight time was only 3 mins max in hd setup thinking of doing the 75mm upgrade do I have to use 2 blade props ?
Great video Nick, thank you! Your camera looks so much better than the one on my Moblite7 though; mine has very dark vignetting all around the edges that is very hard to adjust out. Oh well, the Runcam Nano 3 was never known as a good camera anyway.
First it was Mobilly gates and now the Moblite 7 my wallet is hurting ! LOL I would think that the Mob 7 would be my best guess, I just have to small of a house so I fly in my yard and so outside in no wind and through my gates. Thanks again for the video and information.
BF 4.2 stock pids are pretty good and with the sliders it's not too bad, but still pretty good advice for beginners. I've grown to really like the bat compensation and thrust_linear.
lol, we used have a cat "rango", during normal times we are out of the house so much he started to go to the bathroom right outside his litter box :(. We found him a new home. During that time he went from a bit jittery around the flying to just annoyed. Typical
Hmmmm I bought a few models of the r3d shifters frames you had a bit ago actually super impressed and I like the aio protection they have. That said there's something to seeing the whoops in the FOV I like.
Nick great review! As saw it I thought 75mm toothpick frame. The FC looks really cool! Have to try one. Read your gear for goggle, orca.one. Sry Nick it Orqa.FPV.one Merry Christmas 🎄 & happy holidays. 🤓😉😘
Cool vid Nick. Based on the weights and such, i really would argue the 75mm would be better in every way except for being bigger of course. I was planning on doing the same thing, but just use glue to hold the camera in place and not use a canopy. Those motors are pretty nice though! I have some tpu stuff that i can put on top of the board that weighs very little, so that should provide some protection.
Wow, this make the tinyhawk 1 look archaic‐ flying outside at speed, diving, camera resolution, camera ability to adapt to light, oh and the big one - flight time of longer than 1.5 minutes. Wow has the technology advanced....
Very cool. I got the Shadow Fiend for more flight time but I'm more of a whoop guy and I would like to see the flight time of 8-10 minutes. This is a good start, thanks.
ditto, I'm very jelly of his video reception, mine was almost useless with any distance or drywall between me and it. I gave up and switched to a spare x12 fc and swapped to gnb27 connectors while I was at it. my favorite whoop now, but I suspect my antennas are still less than optimal.
Hi Nick, great video as ever. Kinda like this quad but it is really difficult to fly for me in acro and I have had to retrieve it loads. I found that it was sent with 3x 19000kv motors and 1x 25000kv motor! Do you, or does anyone know how this will affect the flight of the quad or will flying it like this damage the board? Thanks in advance😀👍
Having one higher kv motor, won't impact the other motors or overall flyability. The ESC will spin the motors at the same rate, essentially operating the 25000kv as a 19000kv. disappointing they didn't notice before assembly. Flying in acro does take time and much practice. To ease the frustration, flip into angle mode and have some easier flights.
@@NickBurnsFPV thanks very much for your reply Nick, especially at this busy time of year. Like you said quite suprising this got through quality control. Am currently in a dispute with banggood, wow what a polava! Having to send photos of the packaging and upload a video! (More content for my channel i suppose!) You have reassured me very much and I will flip it back into acro mode.....! All the best to you and yours for the festive season. 👍😀👍
@@NickBurnsFPV i think you worked it out tbh boss. Knowing that flying with 1 odd motor wont be a massive problem helped. Banggood offered me 10gbp back as a good will gesture, not too bad as the moblite7 cost me 67gbp and I have a spare 19000kv motor from trying to fix a uz80! Just need to learn to solder now! 👍😂👍 Thanks to you for your replies and the integrity you have with your channel. That stuff is priceless.
@@ragndroneman Sometimes these tiny motor wires has a clear coating on them which makes soldering a pain. I have found scraping the motor wire with a knife or fingernail clippers helps.
Hi can somebody give me some advice PLEASE... My Moblite 7 is acting funny. I have Moto Stop on but when I arm Motos still spin and also throttle response is sort of delayed making it unflyable. I also noticed that in Betafight I tryed to set up switches for mod but even though I put it in auto it doesn't respond.... I would be greatful for any suggestion as I am new all this THANK YOU...
55mm is the new 65mm and those Afunta props are still one of the best props ever...and yeah, the Afunta/Hubsan hub design is nice. When I mainly used the old Eachine quad blade props I used to take a drill bit that was just a touch smaller than the main hub and drill the bottom out a little to make a cavity. I'm looking forward to getting the 7...just looking at the PIDs you posted, they look a little high, and that's probably why it's all bouncy on first arm...lotsa juice and a "hot" tune make air mode not happy. I'll be slapping Emuflight on mine for PMB, but both of these look fun. I still like the look of the R3D Shifter whoop frame overall, but can't beat the weight of these. Hopefully they will release the FC with plugs.
I like the idea of getting smaller than 65mm and wonder if size matters in terms of stability if flying in angle mode (Nick seems to prefer 75mm, but he is flying air/acro mode)? What do you think about a brushless whoop smaller 65mm, also in terms of PID settings and use of Betaflight?
@@kolibrif8242 I flew the brushed Tiny Whoop Nano (55mm frame with 31mm props) and it wasn't as stable as going to 65mm. I would think you'd have to shrink the proportions overall to get the same stability, but then you'd have to have tiny motors, tiny props, etc, just like those old old Cheerson ones I first flew. :P 65 is the sweet spot, but as courses are getting bigger and longer, 75mm feels SOOO nice that I would race that if it were the standard.
I guess I have to try 75mm class ;-) Anyhow, interesting to see how mechanical deficits of smaller whoops can be compensated with a good setup. It seems that it won't get boring anytime soon! @@ProjectMockingbird and @Nick Burns Thank's a lot for sharing your findings!
So I’m fine running the TBS Multi-Protocol module on its FrSky D8 firmware in my Tango 2? I would only need to upgrade the module for FrSky’s newer firmware if were using a newer larger quad? I’m new to all this but have the module bay to install on the Tango 2 along with the multi protocol module and Tracer module. I just got the nano hawk today that has FrySky and plan on getting these Moblite models.
It can be a number of things. Raceband 8 is the best channel to avoid wifi interference. Also, the construction and design. Google and the receiver module due make a difference as well. I have the rapidfire module with one truerc and one axii antenna.
Any source to the 40mm props? I upgraded my Mob6 and put it on a Mob7 frame but I can't find 40mm 2 blade props. I am using HQ 4 blades and cutting 2 of the blades off which works fine but is not ideal.
Hey Nick I have a question your link is a link for the frame the black frame it’s the Mobula 7 frame is that the one you referred to in the video as the strong one that’s black I thought that was a meteor 75 mm black frame ? So you prefer the mob 7 frame????
Hey nick same issue with my moblite 7 props... Beside I have CW... 🤣🤣🤣 I hope props manufacturer gonna watch your review and follow your advices on props hub 🤞 Thanks for the spotlight 👊 #teamhappymodel
I use e6000, ever compared that to welder? Thanks for the review, i like the mob lite 6 as i have a small condo. I think we could 3d print a more protective camera mount and frame protection.
The e6000 I have tried is a different sort of adhesive. I hear there is the same e6000 as welder but those I have tried feel spongy and don’t “stick” as well
Did you flied this with stocks settings, or did you change tuning? Great drone I just got it and I will add Eachine UZ65 canopy. I like to have more secured board and especially the VTX antenna.
@@NickBurnsFPV O thanks. I think you flied quite manoeuvre so probably there is no need to change anything for ordinary flyers. I like to fly, but I'm weak at tuning and such things. Good luck.
I don't have that sort of information. I don't have any recent comments indicating pre orders are shipping. They could be but I don't know about it. :(
Hi Nick, love your videos, I am a fpv newbie, so here is some silly question?, does this moblite7 bind with Taranis qx7 frSky transmitter, or do I need extra receiver, thanks in advance. Also is it for beginners?
whoops are very good to start with, small light and safe. The qx7 should bind to it, but if its a brand new qx7 it might not due to the firmware frsky puts on new radios. Its really frustrating that frsky has new radio firmware that isn't compatible with d8 mode used on most whoops. We have been using d8 mode for years then frsky decided no more on their new radios.
Some flight footage is “blurry” due to camera damage. 😢

Great video. You are the first person I've ever subscribed to. Love your content!
I liked the camera mount
Why does it recommend 650mha ?? Like they go alll this way to make the quad as lite as possible and than slap that big battery on it for no reason like whyy , odherwise good stuff
I presume for max flight time. I wouldn't suggest that size of battery, 5mins of flight on a 520 is plenty. IMHO
Great flying bud & thanks for all info
Sure, let me know if you have any questions. :)
I'm curious of the durability of parts being more exposed? And the fact that they aren't plug and play, so could be interesting to see! Thanks for the review Nick and wish you and your whole family a very merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
Wow, very impressive how Happymodel keep innovating the micro RTF world, inspired by community experiments. I am a huge fan of Shutterbug, who has been working on these type of light builds. Should we call them nano, since they are so light and small. Looks like they fly really great. Thank you for the review, I did see them on BG X-mas sales, and was wondering how they fly. I am very impressed.
Litterally made two ultralight 65 & 75 two days ago
19 grams for the 65 with 0802 19000 happymodel motors crazybee lite board beta frame and lite camera
26 grams on the 75 with 1102 18000kv betafpv motors crazybee lite board mobula 7 frame and the beta pro cam
Both super fast and handle great most parts are what I had lying around in my junk box
Hot glue works great for a camera mount 😂
how to have such a beautiful picture quality without distortion?
I fly raceband 8, with the rapidfire module and two circular antenna.
This is an awesome video.🙌
Explaning a lot and in the meantime showing flights in the lower left corner.👍
Well done. 👌
That camera looks so clear
Awesome review Nick 👍 thanks for all your content and hope you and you family have a good Christmas 🌲⛄❤️
I like the 7. That may be a future buy for me.
Awesome review mah man! Brilliant flying as always! Love watching u fly around the house.
I was very impressed with Mr. Shutterbug's Super lightweight Whoop. I was thinking of building one until this ones come out. I like to get me one of these instead and maybe mod it with a RD3 Shifters whoop frame. Great review as always. That looks like a hubsan clear prop. I still get plenty of them. Anyway Happy Holidays and Great New Year!
Damn! I was so impressed by a Shutterbug’s version with mobula7 frame back when he posted his video, so I immediately ordered the parts he recommended. It took a while before the parts were delivered and I just finished building it last weekend. And it turns out we can just buy a bnf now )) But anyway, mine is with crossfire and betafpv board and it weights the same as this one. It is super fun to fly and it feels very controllable. The only drawback is that the glued camera can come off in a crash, and this is exactly what happened yesterday..
So indeed I recommend getting a version 7 of this two. I think this is the best whoop so far for the indoor flying.
Which kind of glue was used?
@@NickBurnsFPV I used e6000 plus. Couldn’t find the regular one here. It holds pretty good, but didn’t survive a bad crash. Also ripped the 5v wire from the camera together with the pad and had to solder the wire directly to the resistor. So durability is the main concern here, but I still think this one is the best whoop you can get for the money.
Literally just started watching Rotor Riot's latest video and this notification came in!
Ah well, that can wait 30 minutes :)
Wait, 30 minute Mobula review video? Niiice
lol, really long, sorry, I cut out as much as I was comfortable with
@@NickBurnsFPV No need to be sorry, great view of a great line of whoops :)
"MobLite"... does Bangood make us an offer that we can't refuse?
Love the flight time on these.
Great video Nick!
Thanks for your review! Love these 2 news happymodel toys... I pre-order the moblite6! 👍👊😍
moblite6 preorder? I show only "Arrival Notice"
It can be preordered- Expected to ship before Jan 11.
Banggood (10% discount code “BGaFf10oFf“)
Thanks for all the info so helpful 👍🏼
Nice!. Maybe when my trashcan is ready for the ... Trashcan, this looks like a good replacement :D
Great video thank u and Happy Holidays. I like the review u give a tone of explanation that is informative and with that we can be prepared 😉.
i was impatiently waiting for your review :)
Put 48k ore even 96k on the esc's ....
it improves the flightime substantially
overall i think it's a verry neath quad =) waited for that video for a long time
Got 48khz and rpm bf 4.2.9 on my mob 6 hd the hd cam gave up the ghost so I put a small cam I had in the front with heat glue and no canopy ways 20g without battery it's the most fun IV had in a long time round the garden shooting gaps 5 min flight time was only 3 mins max in hd setup thinking of doing the 75mm upgrade do I have to use 2 blade props ?
ahhhh NICK I just got the board 75mm for the 65mobula,, damn you bang good with your 2 month wait times
I have had decent luck with the $2-$3 shipping options, generally about 2-3weeks.
Great video Nick, thank you! Your camera looks so much better than the one on my Moblite7 though; mine has very dark vignetting all around the edges that is very hard to adjust out. Oh well, the Runcam Nano 3 was never known as a good camera anyway.
I wonder if maybe the lens took a hit? Was it always that way? I have flown the nano 3 many times and not seen a vignetting.
@@NickBurnsFPV It's possible, I have had it for a year now with many flights on it. I might have to buy a spare to swap out and compare, thanks!
First it was Mobilly gates and now the Moblite 7 my wallet is hurting ! LOL I would think that the Mob 7 would be my best guess, I just have to small of a house so I fly in my yard and so outside in no wind and through my gates. Thanks again for the video and information.
Outside with low wind is good. Its just so rare our wind is less than 10mph.
Try the uruav uz80, it seems a pretty good toothpick!
nice flying, love your vids mate.
BF 4.2 stock pids are pretty good and with the sliders it's not too bad, but still pretty good advice for beginners. I've grown to really like the bat compensation and thrust_linear.
I think he trimmed some the duct to save weight too
If you had a cat he would be prescribed Xanax for anxiety. Very great video Nick
lol, we used have a cat "rango", during normal times we are out of the house so much he started to go to the bathroom right outside his litter box :(. We found him a new home. During that time he went from a bit jittery around the flying to just annoyed. Typical
@@NickBurnsFPV I'm sure Rango was just fine. Sorry you had to find him a new home.
Hmmmm I bought a few models of the r3d shifters frames you had a bit ago actually super impressed and I like the aio protection they have. That said there's something to seeing the whoops in the FOV I like.
sure, some do, some don't some are indifferent. I tend to lean towards seeing the whoops as a reminder of how small the quad is :)
Nick great review! As saw it I thought 75mm toothpick frame.
The FC looks really cool! Have to try one.
Read your gear for goggle, orca.one. Sry Nick it Orqa.FPV.one
Merry Christmas 🎄 & happy holidays. 🤓😉😘
Cool vid Nick. Based on the weights and such, i really would argue the 75mm would be better in every way except for being bigger of course. I was planning on doing the same thing, but just use glue to hold the camera in place and not use a canopy. Those motors are pretty nice though! I have some tpu stuff that i can put on top of the board that weighs very little, so that should provide some protection.
Yes, I think we agree. I hope I didn't cause any confusion as to my stance
@@NickBurnsFPV of course having both is the best option haha.
I wonder if popping 'set airmode_start_throttle_percent = 20' and 'save' in cli would fix that funny little thing on startup.
That certainly could help. Oddity is it doesn't happen all the time. Especially noticeable in the crashy flight.
Wow, this make the tinyhawk 1 look archaic‐ flying outside at speed, diving, camera resolution, camera ability to adapt to light, oh and the big one - flight time of longer than 1.5 minutes. Wow has the technology advanced....
Yes, it sure has. And fast!
hey Nick, correct me if I'm wrong: this new FC has ufl connector for receiver and solder pads for vtx?
The connector is smaller than ufl. Its called the IPEX-MHF3, its for the rx.
@@NickBurnsFPV got it, thx!
Both of those cameras looked pretty decent to me indoors. Outdoors, I've certainly seen worse.
I think for the weight, they are pretty good. Strong negative opinions tend to make themselves known.
Very cool. I got the Shadow Fiend for more flight time but I'm more of a whoop guy and I would like to see the flight time of 8-10 minutes. This is a good start, thanks.
I think angry Don FPV hovered his for 10mins if that counts. :)
@@NickBurnsFPV yeah that's perfect
@@NickBurnsFPV this technology is going to make this a good year I think. Especially if they can get digital stuff cheaper than DJI.
so cool, long flight time
Great review buddy, M 7 looking good
Hey what antenna you use on your goggles. My video is crap in my house and yours always seems so good
ditto, I'm very jelly of his video reception, mine was almost useless with any distance or drywall between me and it. I gave up and switched to a spare x12 fc and swapped to gnb27 connectors while I was at it. my favorite whoop now, but I suspect my antennas are still less than optimal.
I see it came with custom bi blade hq props instead of the cut down 4 blades? Very nice!
yes, HQ has made some true/official bi-blades.
Man ur good at flying in ur house
Great review nick.as allways
Hi Nick, great video as ever. Kinda like this quad but it is really difficult to fly for me in acro and I have had to retrieve it loads.
I found that it was sent with 3x 19000kv motors and 1x 25000kv motor!
Do you, or does anyone know how this will affect the flight of the quad or will flying it like this damage the board?
Thanks in advance😀👍
Having one higher kv motor, won't impact the other motors or overall flyability. The ESC will spin the motors at the same rate, essentially operating the 25000kv as a 19000kv. disappointing they didn't notice before assembly. Flying in acro does take time and much practice. To ease the frustration, flip into angle mode and have some easier flights.
@@NickBurnsFPV thanks very much for your reply Nick, especially at this busy time of year.
Like you said quite suprising this got through quality control. Am currently in a dispute with banggood, wow what a polava! Having to send photos of the packaging and upload a video! (More content for my channel i suppose!)
You have reassured me very much and I will flip it back into acro mode.....!
All the best to you and yours for the festive season. 👍😀👍
@@ragndroneman hopefully the dispute with BG will eventually work out. It can be a slow painful process.
@@NickBurnsFPV i think you worked it out tbh boss.
Knowing that flying with 1 odd motor wont be a massive problem helped.
Banggood offered me 10gbp back as a good will gesture, not too bad as the moblite7 cost me 67gbp and I have a spare 19000kv motor from trying to fix a uz80!
Just need to learn to solder now! 👍😂👍
Thanks to you for your replies and the integrity you have with your channel.
That stuff is priceless.
@@ragndroneman Sometimes these tiny motor wires has a clear coating on them which makes soldering a pain. I have found scraping the motor wire with a knife or fingernail clippers helps.
these bois are fast af ... and weight ... my gosh
Just woundering, what is the length and diameter of the copper vtx antenna. Mine broke and im not sure what length it was. Thanks
Hi can somebody give me some advice PLEASE... My Moblite 7 is acting funny. I have Moto Stop on but when I arm Motos still spin and also throttle response is sort of delayed making it unflyable. I also noticed that in Betafight I tryed to set up switches for mod but even though I put it in auto it doesn't respond.... I would be greatful for any suggestion as I am new all this THANK YOU...
Great video 👍 I think I may have to get a Moblite7 🙂
55mm is the new 65mm and those Afunta props are still one of the best props ever...and yeah, the Afunta/Hubsan hub design is nice. When I mainly used the old Eachine quad blade props I used to take a drill bit that was just a touch smaller than the main hub and drill the bottom out a little to make a cavity.
I'm looking forward to getting the 7...just looking at the PIDs you posted, they look a little high, and that's probably why it's all bouncy on first arm...lotsa juice and a "hot" tune make air mode not happy. I'll be slapping Emuflight on mine for PMB, but both of these look fun. I still like the look of the R3D Shifter whoop frame overall, but can't beat the weight of these. Hopefully they will release the FC with plugs.
I like the idea of getting smaller than 65mm and wonder if size matters in terms of stability if flying in angle mode (Nick seems to prefer 75mm, but he is flying air/acro mode)?
What do you think about a brushless whoop smaller 65mm, also in terms of PID settings and use of Betaflight?
Not that this is a question for me, the smallest I have flown was 49mm. But no prop guards/whoops.
@@kolibrif8242 I flew the brushed Tiny Whoop Nano (55mm frame with 31mm props) and it wasn't as stable as going to 65mm. I would think you'd have to shrink the proportions overall to get the same stability, but then you'd have to have tiny motors, tiny props, etc, just like those old old Cheerson ones I first flew. :P
65 is the sweet spot, but as courses are getting bigger and longer, 75mm feels SOOO nice that I would race that if it were the standard.
I guess I have to try 75mm class ;-)
Anyhow, interesting to see how mechanical deficits of smaller whoops can be compensated with a good setup.
It seems that it won't get boring anytime soon!
@@ProjectMockingbird and @Nick Burns Thank's a lot for sharing your findings!
So I’m fine running the TBS Multi-Protocol module on its FrSky D8 firmware in my Tango 2? I would only need to upgrade the module for FrSky’s newer firmware if were using a newer larger quad?
I’m new to all this but have the module bay to install on the Tango 2 along with the multi protocol module and Tracer module. I just got the nano hawk today that has FrySky and plan on getting these Moblite models.
I was just wondering If you could solder on an external receiver like a xm+ or rxsr?
Thanks for the great video Nick!
Your video of the flight is really clear, very little static. My goggles/DVR are horrible. Does yours look good because of your goggles?
It can be a number of things. Raceband 8 is the best channel to avoid wifi interference. Also, the construction and design. Google and the receiver module due make a difference as well. I have the rapidfire module with one truerc and one axii antenna.
Any source to the 40mm props? I upgraded my Mob6 and put it on a Mob7 frame but I can't find 40mm 2 blade props. I am using HQ 4 blades and cutting 2 of the blades off which works fine but is not ideal.
Great review. I don't understand Happymodels obsession with Betaflight 3.5.7 - so many great features missing.
Hey Nick I have a question your link is a link for the frame the black frame it’s the Mobula 7 frame is that the one you referred to in the video as the strong one that’s black I thought that was a meteor 75 mm black frame ?
So
you prefer the mob 7 frame????
yes, the linked frame is the frame I was speaking of. The meteor 75 frame has changed recently, I can't speak to its weight or durability.
I see you talk about "blurry" that is what I see also .
wondering if its the motor bearing slop
Hey nick same issue with my moblite 7 props... Beside I have CW... 🤣🤣🤣
I hope props manufacturer gonna watch your review and follow your advices on props hub 🤞
Thanks for the spotlight 👊
#teamhappymodel
I am going to reach out to Zhong tonight. I hope he is open to the hub idea.
@@NickBurnsFPV Send your video link to gemfan too !!!
Could you please try it with jesc 48khz?
I use e6000, ever compared that to welder? Thanks for the review, i like the mob lite 6 as i have a small condo. I think we could 3d print a more protective camera mount and frame protection.
The e6000 I have tried is a different sort of adhesive. I hear there is the same e6000 as welder but those I have tried feel spongy and don’t “stick” as well
Dope man been waiting to hear about these glad you got them man
Did you flied this with stocks settings, or did you change tuning?
Great drone I just got it and I will add Eachine UZ65 canopy. I like to have more secured board and especially the VTX antenna.
Yes, I fly with stock settings. Its pretty rare I change the pid tune on bnf quads, and when I do I try to make it a strong point in the video.
@@NickBurnsFPV O thanks. I think you flied quite manoeuvre so probably there is no need to change anything for ordinary flyers. I like to fly, but I'm weak at tuning and such things.
Good luck.
@@robertf8645 yes, far to much is made of pids and betaflight versions, when we just need to fly.
Moblite 7 vs original mobula 6, which one would you choose? Thinking about getting into tiny whoops for indoors.
Hey Nick happy new year 🎈🎆🎊 !!!!!
When will the pre orders ship for this quad copter?
I don't have that sort of information. I don't have any recent comments indicating pre orders are shipping. They could be but I don't know about it. :(
Hi Nick, love your videos, I am a fpv newbie, so here is some silly question?, does this moblite7 bind with Taranis qx7 frSky transmitter, or do I need extra receiver, thanks in advance.
Also is it for beginners?
whoops are very good to start with, small light and safe. The qx7 should bind to it, but if its a brand new qx7 it might not due to the firmware frsky puts on new radios. Its really frustrating that frsky has new radio firmware that isn't compatible with d8 mode used on most whoops. We have been using d8 mode for years then frsky decided no more on their new radios.
love the 2s mobula 7 still. Wonder if these have the same power to weight
I really don't know. I have not seen ratios on either. My feeling is no, even at this weight the power to weight is higher on 2s mobula7.
I think I'd like to try that camera mount on my Mobula 6 and/or Mobula 7. If you've run across a link to the STL please reply!
I don't believe HappyModel has published the stl yet. I would suggest checking happymodel.cn website.
