Excellent review with very good explanations and good tips for this mini quad that I find great. Nice test flight !!
Thanks very much for your feedback Pascal, the TIny Hawk 2 is a great little micro quad to fly around the house, I'm having lots of fun with it as I'm locked indoors!
@@colibrifpv Yes we too are still obliged to stay at home it will be soon two months 😕 it's a good little quad and I forgot to tell you that you have a very nice house 😊
That is so cool! I've got to get one of those! Awesome review video Jason! Stay safe my friend!👍😎👍
Hey Jeff, thanks a lot for watching! When you're stock in your house for weeks or months on end, these little micro FPV drones are a blast, great way to break the routine and stay sane. You too, hope you and yours are staying safe!
Hello i myself recently like yesterday got mine i love it! Happens to be my first fpv drone .......how ever not sure how to use the charger lmao it came with no papers i plugged everything in and waited green blinking light the entire charge can anyone tell me how long should it take to charge the stock rtf batteries lol please and thank you!
@@paularogers478 Hi Paula, the included charger is super useful, albeit a little funny to use because the lights blink when the sockets are empty! The 1s battery (the wider flat battery) is self explanatory since it only has 1 connector, but with the 2s battery, make sure you are plugging in the balance lead (the wider connector with more wires) so the charger can balance the cells properly. Sorry if this was already super obvious : ) It should take about 1 hour, depending on how many batteries you have plugged in. I highly recommend you get some more batteries since flight times are only around 3 minutes. These are the ones I use and they work great! amzn.to/3g1zToC
Gracias por su video y por darse el trabajo de compartirlo con nosotros tengo un Tiny hace unos días y voy a seguir sus instrucciones
De nada Ricardo, gracias por su comentario y buena suerte con el dron!
You deserve WAY MORE subscribers! One of the best reviews of this kwad that I’ve seen. You’re the only one I’ve seen give that heads up on the low voltage warning on 2s. (Which I get on my tinyhawk s.) Keep up the good work. You earned my sub!
Thanks a lot Richard, can't tell you how much I appreciate your support! I have a few more videos in the pipeline but unfortunately it's just tough to find the time to pump them out as quickly as I would like. Glad to have you here!
Thanks for great review!
Really glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
thank you for helping us beginners. As a beginner, this was definitely hard to follow though.
Thanks for your feedback Noah. I hear you, the learning curve is really tough when you first get into this hobby, and if you ever feel like you want to pull your hair out, you're not alone! Just be patient, take small steps, and watch a lot of Joshua Bardwell videos.... 👍
Nice vid man, explained really well, but it only changes PID's when 1S or 2S, rates you have to change manual
Just found your channel I’m getting a tiny hawk 2 from a good friend I’m making the dive from DJI camera drones to fpv I hope I can figure it all out so much to learn and not familiar with beta flight so going to do some homework so excited and love your videos definitely helping a lot to get ready to rip. Can’t wait 💪😎👍
That's awesome to hear, you will soon be addicted and have a wall full of quads! Just take it slow and have tons of patience, a lot of the setup/firmware updates etc. isn't that user friendly at first but there is a solution to every problem, usually through helpful TH-cam videos. I think 99% of the FPV knowledge I have came from watching Joshua Bardwell's channel - definitely check it out, and good luck!!!
@@colibrifpv awesome thank you yes definitely the second recommendation to his channel 😎
Man I'm not sure if I want to go with this one or the next size up (freestyle) for my first drone!? Awesome video. I subbed!
Thanks for watching Travis! For your first quad I recommend this one or something similar, save the freestyle for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. The learing curve in FPV can be pretty tough and this one is easier to fly and does well both indoors, in the backyard or park. Good luck👍
Man your place looks dope! Masonry on point!!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate that! I call it my RC Cave, my wife calls it the laundry room 😂
Great video thank you so much, how do you bring up that menu where your looking at the pid profile? Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching, really glad you liked it! Do you mean the OSD menu in the goggles? If so, you access it with goggles on, quad not armed, and move your throttle yaw left (center) and pitch forward. If that isn't what you were asking, just drop the video time stamp and I will have another look.
Hi. Good info. Quick question. I ordered a tinyhawk 2 freestyle rtf with head set and controller. If I buy this tinyhawk 2 will it bind to the rtf freestyle controller and head set. I want this for indoor flight
I have a jumper t8sg v2 + Rx it's list is frsky,frsky v8 and frsky x how can I go about getting d8 on it or will it work with one of the installed ones
Hi,can you try to bind use xlites internal module? I can not bind tinyhawk2 with xlites in d16 due to version incompatible.
Hi...I have a problem....everything working good in betaflight roll pitch yaw throttle
Also when I connect the battery to tinyhawk2 ... roll pitch yaw working good....only throttle not working can not start to fly ... what to do ??
My remote radiomasterTX12
Do you think that it could mount trashcan motors with that upside down setup?
I just mounted a Flysky receiver and upgraded the vtx with an eachine but now the poor creature is like 60 gram and I was wondering how to upgrade the motors too :)
Hello: my TH2 goes into binding mode when i press the button. My internal module is set to FR Sky D 8 when i push the bind on tin6hawk Amber says telemetry recovered but th2 keeps blinking red and blue. TX16 S is my transmitter. An6 8deas?
Good video! I've had my Tinyhawk 2 for about 2 months now, and I'm loving it. You mentioned in the pro's that it is upgradable. What upgrades would you recommend? I'm thinking about the VTX, antenna, and camera. But I'm not sure what vtx boards fit on the TH2.
By upgradeable I was thinking more of the motors, since they left open plugs, and the ability to add an aftermarket receiver or solder on an xt30 to make it a true 2s quad. The VTX was actually upgraded in the V2 over the Tiny Hawk S, so now it does 200 milliwatts, so I'm not sure I would bother upgrading it. Also, the camera has already been upgraded, and is now the Runcam Nano 2, which is a great camera for a 75mm tiny whoop. The antenna might be worth it though, just make sure you get one that is super lightweight!
@@colibrifpv awesome! Thanks. I'm new to this, are there any specifics I need to look for in an antenna? Or just make sure it is a light one? And to be honest, I prefer it on 1S.
What PID do you guys use?
I flashed the new bf on it and i cant get the right D max value.
Excellent overview of all the key steps.. understand it all .. but since I haven't actually flown it yet .. We'll see.. I gotta practice indoors then get used to using FPV goggles.. I'm curious about the "Buzzer" ... is there actually a lost drone mode in the TinyHawk II ?
Hi Jim, yes there is a lost model alarm. You need to program an auxiliary switch in your radio, then enable the buzzer and assign it to that switch in Betaflight. My typical setup is 3 switches - arm, flight modes, and buzzer. It also helps to play on the simulator a bit first, then practice hovering where there isn't much wind in stable mode, then go for the goggles. For me adjusting to the goggles was tough!
@@colibrifpv I'm making good progress with the setup tho when I trieIelected AETR1234 as an option and saved it..Prior to that it was defaulting to TARE on the channel mapping every time. The switches ( except for Buzzer which I will add in a bit now that I hear there is one on this little guy).. all toggle around properly but even tho as I toggled he SF arrows up/down to the opposite state . The quad Arms and disarms in the opposite mechanical switch state from what I want .. so I'll need to sort that out and fix it .. the controls all work tho and when I power up and disarm it while holding the little bugger down, I can see it's ready to rip, so I'm going to make a few more minor tweaks and give it a go flying.. One thing I wanted to ask, I feel a little vibration as the motors are spinning at low RPM,, is that normal? Thanks again..
Hey, thanks for the review! I'm thinking about buying one but the flight times are kinda short :/. Do you think removing the LED strips would increase flight time?
Thanks for watching! No, the LED strips are so tiny and don't really weigh anything so removing them would not improve flight times. You can use a slightly larger battery, but only slightly larger, as the extra weight will actually decrease flight times since it has to burn through more juice to stay in the air. The best solution is to use the recommended battery size and just buy a pile of them. # minutes doesn't sounds like a lot, but for this type of flight, it actually is...
I have a concern with this whoop when switching from 1s to 2s.do you have to change the profile 1 to profile 2 or this is not really necesary?i was flying on 1s and when i put the 2s lipo smoke came out.i just want to make sure because i order a new one and i dont want to go thru the same issue...
Hey there Julian, the Tiny Hawk 2 comes from the factory with Betaflight setup to detect the battery voltage and switch PID profiles accordingly, so you should be able to use 1s and 2s without changing anything... if in doubt, check which PID profile you are on in your goggles OSD after switching batteries. There shouldn't be any smoke since all the electronics are rated for 2s.
Hi, my Tinyhawk 2 was flying fine until I update it in Betaflight. Now it doesn't respond to anything and can't bind with remote. How can I solve this?
Thanks for this great review. Because i am new in fpv hobby can you tell me the type o f the cable i need to bind the emax to my computer. it's a type c micro usb? or simple micro USB Cable
Hey Andreas, you need a micro usb cable, and you need to download betaflight. If it doesn't work at first, change cables. Some cables are only for charging and do not support data. Good luck, any questions, just let me know!
I bought the tinyhawk rtf but dont like the controller. What would be the best controller to use with this for a beginner? I just want a simple analog controller. I dont need an advanced one because the only analog I'm, going to do is with these. I also have the DJI FPV system
Beta FPV makes a super cheap controller called the "Lite Radio 2" for $40 that would be perfect for whoops on frsky D8/D16, and if you want something a little better, the FRsky X-lite is a pretty good option that allows you to add a multi-protocole module if you ever need to. But if you already have the DJI system, just buy the cheap radio and spend your money on a "real" radio for your digital quads, like the DJI Radio or crossfire. Here's that cheap radio I eas talking about: betafpv.com/products/literadio-2-radio-transmitter
If got soo long to bind my TH ii with my Taranis q x7 access.
At the end i just had to downgrade it so i can bind with accest D16.
Took me about 10h to figure out but was worth the work
hello,thanks for your advice in this vidéo I also have a taranis x light S with an XJT lite plug-in like you. I created my flight model with the inputs and aux in the mixer, flash the frwr of the external module and chose XJT lite D8 CH1-CH8. I never manage to bind like you and it's a mystery the bind procedure for me with this nice radio but so complicated to set up for the bind procedure. What could be the problem preventing me from binding this tinywhoop. I scrupulously respected the FRSKY_D instructions in BF in the configuation tab, use the CLI "bind_rx", "bind_rx_spi" but nothing helps, the blue led does not fix and despite my multiple attempts the bind does not succeed ... It looks so simple on your video!
Nice micro drone, nice review my friend you have my like #
Thank you Javier, I really appreciate your support. Since I am locked in the house, I have gotten into the FPV side of the hobby. This is a great option since its lightweight and cheap, and I don't have to worrk about hurting my kids flying it around the house!
@@colibrifpvit is Xavier but does not matter haha, and with pleasure it was a long time ago, yes that stupid locked is not fun I hope everything goes well there with you and stay safe my friend
Hello, thank you for the video!
I'm completely a noob here and going to buy my first fpv drone TinyHawk 2 kit with googles and controller altogether.
I have a question drone setup - what is VTX unlock? Should I do it out of the box? Where can I find the information about it?
Thank you
Hi there, the manufacturers ship some drones "locked" because some radio frequencies/bands are not legal in some countries, so they leave it to the owners to verify compliance. If you are just getting started you can fly your Tiny Hawk without unlocking the VTX. However, if you want to take advantage of the 200mw that this vtx offers, you will need to unlock it. See that portion of the video, towards the end, for a more in-depth explanation. Good luck!
Thanks man, I am just starting and havent fly yet, do you have any tuto or any website or video for the literal first time setting up the goggles and radio and the tiny hawk?
Hey, did you get it set up okay? Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but here's a great video on the Ready Set Drone channel, with just the info that might help get you started!!! th-cam.com/video/Sz8pgZ6y5XA/w-d-xo.html
@@colibrifpv yeah cheers, i just keep crashing on my appartement walls! I need to practice!
Newbie,,what IAM I doing wrong my tiny hawk s2 I get lost beeper but won't arm,remote is n d mode,lite radio2 se
Can you help me? I cant bind my Tinyhawk 2 with the e6 Transmitter.
Please give us a little more details and I or somebody in the community will help you out!
I just got the tiny hawk, Will it bind to my spectrum DX8, and my fatshark v2 . I've never been on Beta flight in the computer. Oh yeah once I bought the 550 drone used with the Dx8 ,. When on Beta flight and screw the whole thing up,. At least I still have the spectrum DX8
I also have an old Spectrum radio and unfortunately it will not work with the Tiny Hawk 2 without adding an external receiver. To solve your problem with the least headache possible, you might just grab a $40 frsky radio from Beta FPV... much easier and it will work with any future frsky whoops you might end up with! betafpv.com/products/literadio-2-radio-transmitter
@@colibrifpv big time thank you , stay up bro,
So I was wondering, does the drone work with the at9s pro radio I couldn’t find my answer so I thought I would be good to ask you
I'm not familiar with that radio and so I really can't say, but if you are still in the market for a radio I would suggest a Radiomaster with a multi-protocol module built in, since you can bind just about anything to it and add additional modules down the road...
@@colibrifpv bro your reply is 6 months late
Would it be hard to remove front LEDs to help with los or are they soldered with the motor?
I never thought of doing that, it's actually a great idea. I really like having rear-only LEDs for line of sight flying on other quads. Yes, it would be super easy, just snip the LED wires coming from the motors and remove.
That is a way better camera..can't wait till mine comes..I bought the original rtf kit..and it's got stableizing issues. It don't want to pull out of a flip without air washing til crash and I can't figure out why..so I ordered this one
Can I bind the normal Tinyhawk2 with the Radiomaster TX12 controller?
Yes you can if you have the multi-protocol module in the Tx12. Frsky is one of the many radio protocols it supports.
Can you explain betaflight and how to use it to someone who has never done it please
Hi there! If you have never used Betaflight before be prepared to have a little patience, it is a steep learning curve but I promise it will make sense after a while. Download Betaflight configurator (google it) then connect your flight controller to usb. If you have Windows, you may need drivers (download the Impulse RC Driver Fixer). Then check out Bardwell's step by step tutorial here... th-cam.com/video/LkBWRiEGKTI/w-d-xo.html
So everytime you plug in a battery you have to press the vtx button?
No, only the first time, to bind it to your radio. Once the quad is bound to the radio, you're good from that point on, you just plug in the battery and it communicates with the radio automatically.
Thanks nice video,,,,I'll subscribe
That's great Matt, glad you liked the video and happy yo have you here!
Hi, how do you record the flights?
Thanks
Hi, I used the DVR on my Skyzone goggles. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the review :)! I'll get my Tinyhawk 2 in a 1-2 weeks and would like to ask if a multi module would also be able to support FlySky/FrSky etc.? I have an older FlySky radio and would like to get something compatible with everything. Never heard of these multi things for the Transmitter
Does your radio have a JR module bay? If so, then a multiprotocol module would definitely work, and it would be a great investment because it would support D8 for the Tiny Hawk 2, as well as most other popular protocols in case you end up with another drone in the future. Here's a good one made by jumper on Amazon amzn.to/2Su8eT4. If you are going to be in the hobby for a while you may even want to consider a new radio with a multiprotocol module built in, or an Frsky radio that you can easily add a module to. Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
@@colibrifpv Oh wow, thank you for so much information! I have an old Eachine i6 / FlySky i6, which is o.k. for its price. Would you like to recommend me a new radio as a follow up? (I guess there is no way to use FrSky on the Eachine i6/FlySky i6 and I do not like soldering a new RX anytime something isn't compatible)
@@neutralmst6855 I have flysky i6x transmitter and want to buy tinyhawk 2 will it work with it?
@@AAAAAA-iw9wk No, you need to buy another RX for it and set up beta flight. You need to know what you are doing, because you need to: Solder everything together with hope of finding the right ressources online, buy the right RX, know how to bind things right on your TX (i6x) and then know how to cinfigure betafligt. It is avanced and nothing I would recommend if you are not well experienced. I hope that helps : )
@@neutralmst6855 should I buy the RTF version?
That would be easy right?
I’m starting out Fpv I just bought this BNF tiny hawk 2 and I’m having trouble getting it set up, I downloaded beta flight but I’m having trouble with the drivers not sure what drivers are legit or if they’re the Right ones, I wish you just could download beta flight and it came with its own drivers.and just install everything just like any other download! but this is obviously an open source program and you got to get the drivers from somewhere else makes it very difficult for us new guys! I just want to fly this thing and I sure could use some help.
Would you recommend a RadioMaster TX16S and an EV800D with this? I'm a beginner and I'm looking for some gear! I feel like the TX16S might be a bit overkill.
That radio would be great and would serve you well into the future. My advice is to start off with cheap drones, and maybe even a cheap radio, but spend the money on decent goggles. Those eachines you mentioned would be fine, but you might also consider some skyzones. You will upgrade your drone frequently as you crash and break it, and may even upgrade your radio as technology improves, but goggles tend to stick around a little longer...
I bought a pair of EV800Ds and have used them on average every other day for almost two years with no problems. They're a great choice for a beginner on a budget.
Love the video and love my TH2. Especially love it outside on 2S. When I get another one or another dedicated 1S I’m definitely soldering an XT30 on it. I need more power (and less voltage sag) to get out of acro maneuvers
Thanks a lot my friend, really appreciate it! So you like the 2s, eh? It is nice to have that extra throttle when you need and, and of course for rolls or tricks in acro its a whole different story. On 1s you have to do it so much slower but on 2s, its super quick! I soldered an xt30 onto my trashcan, but it totally needed it, flew like crap on 1s. It's a little nerve wreaking though, I've done plenty of soldering but I'm not expert. mostly large scale RC cars where things are much bigger, but on these micros, the connections are TINY! So far, most of the flying I've done on the TH2 has been indoors because of these stay at home orders, and for indoors, 1s is way easier.
The RC Cave yah I’m dying to get a bigger quad so I can really rip it up outside. I’ve spent all my time in simulator and watching TH-cam 5” freestyle videos. So I’m craving that same kind of experience and the TH2 was my first and only so far. I do enjoy it on 1S in the house. I spent about an hour flying it around a makeshift course in my basement last night. But freestyle is definitely more appealing to me than racing.
@@BlakeT87 I hear you! Your skills and experience are easily good enough to go for a 5". It's all about feeling comfortable. The way I did it was to move to toothpicks, and now I'm at a 3" (the Diatone R349 is friggin awesome if your looking for something in that category). For me it was also battery planning and flying spots, I had loads of small 2s and 3s batteries that fit the twig and larva X great, and since I live in a city even those tiny quads feel huge at my local parks! I'm still on xt30's and I have a pile of batteries, so when I do get a 5 inch, I'll probably spend more on batteries than the quad!
The RC Cave thank you for the compliment! Luckily my location I think will allow for a 5” pretty easily. I live in a rural town directly between Cincinnati and Dayton Ohio. There’s a ton of farm land to fly and multiple county airports that double as RC clubs near me. I’m looking forward to this lockdown being over so I can meet some nearby pilots!
What I want to know is if there is a way to turn disable the LED lights around the frame without desoldering those from the board? Thanks.
Hi Rico, No, unfortunately there is no way to turn them off without just clipping the wires/unsoldering them from the motors since they are connected directly to the motor leads, not the board. I don't mind them, and I think they look cool at night, though they do attract more attention and they don't provide much benefit to the pilot unless your flying line of sight.
@@colibrifpv Good morning. Thank you for confirming that. I may just try to desolder those things later. I just thought that maybe disabling those can save some battery power and extend the flight time a few more seconds. Thanks again.
Wow thanks for sharing that... I wanted to get rid of the lights before I even bought it.
Desolder, or clip em off either way your probably saving a gram of weight.

What transmitter you use on this then,,Newbie question lol i got a DX6 DX 8 and taranis X9D any of them work it ?
Your Taranis would work best with this, it comes with an onboard FRSKY receiver, so you should be good to go! I show you how to bind at the end of this video, and there are loads of other videos on binding an FRSKY receiver on TH-cam, but if you run into any problems drop a comment and I will help if I can.
@@colibrifpv Thank you for letting me know
I accidentally reset my settings in beta flight how to i get it to work again?
Hey Drew, don't worry, there's an easy fix. Here's the link to the CLI dump file, aka stock settings. Just figure out which one you need, and copy and paste into the CLI tab of betaflight to get stock settings back. For future reference, it's always a good idea to save your stuck settings right when you connect a new drone so you'll have them handy! emaxusa2.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/19000108267-tinyhawk-manuals-cli-firmware-for-rtf-bnf-v1-v2
I might cut the leds on the front for los flying
That's a good idea, LOS is the only time those LED's are really useful. I had a light-bar on the back of an Eachine Trashcan that I learned LOS on and it was really helpful to know which way it was facing!
Awesome
Thank you bro, I really appreciate the support!
Hi!
good morning/evening.
I did a Reset to my Emax on betaflight by mistake
I don't know what to do to get it back, Can you send me back up file? Thank you
Hello there, thanks for watching! Sure, no problem, here it is: emaxusa2.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/19000108267-tinyhawk-manuals-cli-firmware-for-rtf-bnf-v1-v2
Just got mine. Doesn't work worth a crap.
Are you having trouble binding it? FPC has a huge learning curve and it can be super frustrating... I've got a Larva X that' refuses to bind and I know what it's like. Just stick with it and ask questions in the tinyhawk forum on Facebook, you'll get it!
Do you still have / fly your Tinyhawk2? I love to know what your thoughts are after having for a while.
Hey Mitch, NO, unfortunately the vtx went out on mine. I would say that the Tiny Hawk 2 is one of the easiest FPV drones to fly, and probably one of the best, if not THE best first drone out there, but I was not so impressed by Emax build quality. I has loads of things break and now I think mine is down permanently. Fun while it lasted though!
Thank you for such an informative review... and I was thinking how dogs will most often be content and remain quiet when allowed in to lay down nearby. Then again, they do tend to suddenly go nuts at the sound of passers by and whatnot, making recording difficult... oh well, just a thought. =D
You are right about that! Unfortunately, it's my neighbor's dog that never stops barking, if he were my dog I would have given him a pat on the head, a little treat, and had hum lay down with me like you suggested 😊
@@colibrifpv Ok, I should've figured it was not so easily resolved. Kind of like this hobby. 35 years ago you simply turn on the radio and it worked. Today it requires a two week seminar just to bind and calibrate the darn thing... If only I had bought a Tiny Hawk 2 =(
@@burtpanzer I know what you mean, there really is a huge learning curve in FPV nowadays, I'm new to it myself, I'm always been more of an old school rc car racer, on and off since I was a kid. Remember those huge antennas and the futaba radios with the crystals? 😂 Stick with it though, once you get your first qud setup it gets easier the next time!
How do I bind to D16? I tried for about an hour and couldn't get it to bind. I'm using a Taranis QX7. I already ordered the ACCST module, but it will be a few days before I receive it.
Sorry for not responding sooner. You can bind it to a QX7, but you need to put it into D16 mode, and the range is not the best. D8 would be better. You do that by change modes in Betaflight, then binding. Here's a video showing you how to do it.... th-cam.com/video/uzHa6rG2zMY/w-d-xo.html
@@colibrifpv no worries. I appreciate the reply. I ended up with a basic tinyhawk II and had to use the ACCST module. I have a newer radio with ACCES onboard.
Hi, On betaflight, it shows drone bound, controller works fine but on Motor tab all motors are dead no sign of life !!
Hmmmm.... maybe try it with a battery plugged in? Don't worry, it won't arm in Betaflight. What happens when you bind the radio outside of Betalight, will it arm and will the motors spin up?
Hey anyone care to suggest a good radio controller for tinyhawk whoops that will still be really good for other drones I purchase in the future? So many options its confusing lol. And do you suggest getting a newer d16 or should I go with d8? I dont want to be restricted for future quads but I will be using these cheaper emax quads until I get good enough to spend more on a quad. But for now I just want the good expensive transmitter. I prefer old school style radio's over video game style. Thanks in advance for anyone who suggests something. I want a taranis but see mixed reviews on different models.
You might want to have a good long look at Radiomaster or Jumper radios. They are pretty inexpensive and come with a multiprotocol module built in so they can be used for just about anything, and if you go higher end in the future, you can add a crossfire module. For me either of those are the best option for someone getting into the hobby unless/until you go DJI...
would have been more helpful id you used the radio that is included with the kit.
I didn't actually buy the kit, just the drone by itself so I didn't get that radio, but the concepts are the same, just with switches in different places!
Amazing little mini drone subscribing for more
Thank you my friend, back at you 👍
Hello, im pretty new in this hobby and wanted it to stard with my friend. Is it possible to fly two tinyhawks together. If yes, how can you do it
Hi there DaZelli, sure you can fly two FPV drones together as long as both you and your friend have your vtx/goggles on different channels you shouldn't have any problem! Check out radiomaster Radios like the Zorro or Boxer. They are cheap, come with multi-protocol modules or ELRS, and will last you for a long time as you grow in the hobby...
@@colibrifpv Thanks for your fast answer.😊
Hi there. I’ve finally found someone who could possibly help me. I bought a tinyhawk 2 that come with goggles and controller and being the noob that I am I completely lost control at a ridiculous height and lost the drone lol I am going to buy just the tinyhawk 2 drone on its own but I was wondering if the goggles and controller will be able to pair with it. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
Can I just add this was the first drone I ever got and I don’t have Beta flight as I assumed it would be to technically difficult for a complete beginner. Do I need this program to pair the drone? Thanks again
Hey there Glen, sorry for not responding earlier. Yes, you can bind another TinyHawk, or just about any other drone, to that radio and use those goggles as long as you get on with an frsky receiver (I'm assuming your version of the kit was frsky). Just Google "how to bind frsky" and you should get some instructional videos, or feel free to ask me. Basically, you will need to download and install Betaflight, and easiest way will be to put the drone into binding mode via the CLI (command line) but it can also be done by pushing a tiny button while plugging in the battery. I know, the learning curve is tough when you get started in FPV, but it does get easier, and I have also had "fly away" incidents. Sucks, but everyone does it when they're learning!
Soo I bought this package deal and it's super easy to get started. But I be crashing everywhere I can't keep it stable and fly smoothly like you in ur videos. Is there something I can do to tweak it ? As soon as I give it power the drone flies up and pulls forward to the left. Without me even moving left peddle on my controller 😅
I hear you, when you first get started learning to fly can be sooooo hard! First, make sure you are in "angle" mode, which is also called self-levelling mode. Way easier to start with, and a lot of people fly in angle mode all the time indoors. Second, get yourself a simulator like Liftoff and practice acro mode before you use the actual quad. These things are pretty tough, but will break eventually, so much better to learn acro in a simulator first!
how would i pair my TH2 to a EMAX E6 Transmitter? it doesn't have a display like you have in this video.
Hi there, unfortunately I don't have that transmitter so I can't tell you, but if you search "EMAX E6 Transmitter" in TH-cam there are loads of videos. Hope you get it figured out!
@@colibrifpv thanks for getting back to me. seems that beta flight is the key to getting them to sync up. still not clear on how to do it, but yea there are lots of resources.
@@colibrifpv thanks yea it seems that beta flight is the answer though i have to figure out exactly how it works in regards to the syncing but yea there are resources out there, thanks for replying! :)
I cant get mine to fly, it just makes a lot of beeping noises and it wont fly. Cant find any video to help.. What am i doing wrong?
It can be tough to bind these quads and to figure out Betaflight, it's s steep learning curve. What radio are you using? You can search TH-cam for "how to bind xyz radio/receiver" or just let me know which one you have and I'll try to point you in the right direction!
Do you have a recommendation of an entry-level remote that might give me a bit more control..? The remote that came with it is horrible.
I'm not new to drones; I'm a DJI guy; but just received my Tinyhawk II kit today with transmitter and remote.
But I hate the remote;
What is a semi-affordable remote that is realistic for an entry level guy...?
Thanks so much!
I would recommend a Radiomaster or Jumper radio. They both have several models available which are affordable, and most importantly, they have multiprotocol modules built in which means that they will work with just about any drone/rx out there except for the long-range crossfire or R9 protocols, but you could even drop in a module to use either of them in the future too. Good luck!
@@colibrifpv awesome thanks so much for the response!!! I really appreciate the suggestion. Amazing channel too, by the way!
@@My_Alchemical_Romance Thanks a lot, the RC channel is good fun!
mine were not soldered they were plugged in those ports, im jelly
So I just got my tiny hawk, There was no instruction manual unfortunately, But I'm curious how you go about finding all this information About the components themselves,
The learning curve is pretty steep when you first get started in FPV but it does get easier and start to make sense. First, get yourself a radio unless you got one bundles with your Tiny Hawk. Then, depending on which protocol ("brand" you have (Frsky, ELRS, etc.) you should look up a video how to bind xyz. If you have FRSKY, I go into it in this video. Any questions, feel free to ask!
@@colibrifpv a few such as, wdym radio? A the other things , this is only my 2nd drone ever , not including little cheap ones from Walmart, iv got the the SG907 Max , amd and the tinyhawk 2 not sure which version though o.0 , I'm basically saying i am a complete noob on this stuff lol
I clicked the button but nothing happened?
if i have ready setup ( drive.google.com/drive/u/0/shared-with-me ) can i just copy it and paste into that CU section in betaflight or i need to change it?
Just paste it in, hit return, and let it do its thing. Then you're back to factory defaults 👍
you can record video on this drone ?
No you can't record video onboard. You could record video you goggle video assuming your goggles have a DVR, but that video isn't very high quality. This quad is great for beginners for learning FPV and racing around the house. If you want a great quality micro with decent on board video, check out the GEPRC Cinepro. It's much more expensive, but a better option for video.
Can anybody help me with getting beta flight downloaded I can’t figure out how to do it and if so can you download it on an iPhone
There is an app, so yes, you can download it on your iphone, but to be honest with you I would set it up on a computer, much easier. Google it and you will be sent to a Github page. Then just install the latest version. Also be sure to use a micro usb cable that can do data, not just a charge cable, that can trip some people up since they look the same. Best of luck!
The RC Cave thanks for the help man much needed
Great review! I am not sure about the fpv community, but the correct use of "pid" is "P. I. D.". As a controls engineer, I cringe. Thank you for the review.
Thanks for your comment John, I'm really just scratching the surface when it comes to P.I.D. tuning so I defer to your expertise : )
Anyone have a original cli dump for this i still have my tiny hawk 2 and looking for factory settings
Hey there, I found a site which has all of the original Emax cli dumps... you should be able to copy and paste into the cli in Betaflight...
www.kiwiquads.co.nz/cli-dumps/
Agh thank you I will try this I used the one from emax site but kept getting errors thanks I'll give it a go
Man, I've been having RX Loss warnings and fail safe. Also the VTX has a lot of noise at very close range. I don't know what it is, cuz I don't have experience in electronics and I'm a novice pilot.
Man, that can be frustrating! The first thing to do is to have a look at the VTX and RC antennas. Are they in decent shape? My rx antenna broke and the range went from 100 yards to fail safing at about 30 yards! For me the fix was to install an external rx, which was a bit of a pain because soldering this tiny wires/pads is difficult, and the extra weight is noticeable, but now the range is amazing and will go way beyond the vtx range, so I never failsafe. As for the VTX, did you set it to 200 mw? Remember it comes locked to 25 mw from the factory. Let me know if you don't know how to do that, I think I might mention how at the end of the video but I can also explain here.
VTX was unlocked, but I updated BF and rebind in D8 and now it works, I don't have RSSI but I can fly ok
Help. I’m a dad, bought one of these for a ten year old . I have no idea how to set it up. Do I need to fly it via an i-phone ? Does it need a radio controller ( nothing came with it.)
I have no clue. Help. The instruction manuals might as well be in Swahili
Hi Andrew, you have entered into a whole world here. The learning curve is steep, but once you figure it out it's tons of fun! Do you have a radio yet? If not I recommend starting with a jumper T12 or something similar with a multi-protocol module in it. Once you have a radio, you need to bind it. You also need to pick up an entry level set of goggles. Something like this kit includes a basic radio and set of goggles to get you started... amzn.to/3AtXHe1
Anyone have "RSSI LOW" and unable to fly? Need help please.
Mine says that when I forget to turn the radio on, so it may be a binding issue. Is your radio bound, i.e., do you see the sticks move the levels in betaflight?
guys he bought the tiny hawk 2 without the vr thing, this link www.amazon.com/EMAX-Tinyhawk-Goggles-Controller-Beginners/dp/B083PZZSR9/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 has the vr thing included so you have first person view
they're callef fpv i think
Great whoop. Not great for the beginners as the Motors and led are solder on the board and it's very difficoult to dismount and mount it if you need to fix it. The previous Tinyhawks where done much better(they use to have connectors to dismount the FC)
That's a great point, and trying to solder/desolder those TINY wires would take a pretty steady hand and some good soldering skills. Fortunately though, they left open plugs, so if one needed to replace/upgrade a motor, one could just snip the existing motor wires, plug in the new motor(s) and do a solderless repair job, though of course it would be much cleaner to desolder the existing leads.
one of the few honest reviews lol
but still sponsored right?
Thanks for your feedback. I also get tired of biased reviews designed to just sell products. No, I am not sponsored, and I did not receive anything free. I bought this drone with my own hard earned cash, just like you do.
For a quad to be rtf out of the box you sure made it seem complicated and confusing with all the if this and if that , in lost!!!
I completely understand you, I felt the same way when I set up my first quad in Betalight! Check out his video on the Ready Set Drone channel, and I promise, it gets MUCH easier and more enjoyable after that initial learning curve... th-cam.com/video/Sz8pgZ6y5XA/w-d-xo.html
@@colibrifpv thanks for getting back to me, that was extremely nice of you!
After watching a few of your episodes on your channel I immediately subscribed, you have some awesome content!
I’ve been just using the on screen display inside the goggles instead of customizing the switches. I didn’t realize that you don’t have to do all that if you’re using the emax goggles it came with.
Thanks again!
