Hello Kelly & Kris, thank you for the excellent overview on the Tiny Hawk ready to fly kit, 👍👍
I have watched 2 hours of videos how to start. And this is by far the straighest video i have seen. Thank man 🎉
Glad it helped
Awesome follow on review Kelly and Kris! I won a Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle RTF kit at Spinup in 2021 and loved it. I have since passed it on to a good friend that is enjoying it as well.
Awesome! Thank you!
I like to have a complete kit when I get a drone, so this works for me. Great review, and thanks for sharing.
You and me both!
Got to love that beard Kelly! The one good thing about these tiny whoops, they can take a beating #RustyFPV
Nice THF3 I still have the 2 👍🏻. Great review as always RSD for the win 🦾❤️
Thanks 👍
Nice beard Kelly, might half to get one of these. Just for the fun of it.
This is high on my list of set ups for my son and I to try out getting into fpv.
Kelly you look like Obi Wan Kenobi with that beard! TinyHawk looks like a great option for getting into FPV.
I wear glasses but when i fly I don’t wear em in goggles. The transporter goggles didn’t pull out far enough for me. NO PROBLEM. On thingiverse you can find a file to 3D print an extension! It uses magnets. I saved money just using clear packaging tape.
So distinguished with a beard, Kelly ✌🏻
1:30 that would've been a thrown bell for me, lol. oh... so the Baby Ape inside WAS a bad idea... nOw ya tell me...
speaking of...recommendations for upgrade on motors Tiny Hawk 3 (whoop)? i trashed mine with iron dust. (Kriiiiisssss help) probably a video on this, point me away👍🏼
Hey Brett! First of all, l agree with you. Kelly's beard suits him well!
Secondly, Baby Ape indoors... oh boy!
Finally, I don't know if 3rd party motors would be risky or not, in terms of potentially burning out an esc, and in an all-in-one board, that means the whole board would be a goner. I have not looked into any options though. Their stock replacement motors are solder-free -- just connect the plug and screw them in. You know I don't like soldering!
@@SunriseWaterMedia Eloquent response and makes perfect sense ✌🏻duh... didn't realize they were plugin 🙃 just got frustrated and packed the little guy away... BUT realize I need the little guy to play in the clean warehouse (no more Zamboni garage... silly me)
Great video, thanks for sharing! The beard is looking great even though the flying is #RustyFPV
I appreciate it!
Why is it that all the TH-camr reviewing the tiny hawk 3 freestyle hd on channel r6 I’m on the channel r1 do you just have to manually select it is it better performing?
I don't remember why we have it on R6. Maybe we were flying it at the same time as other pilots on different channels.
I've actually heard that R1 is the strongest channel for HD Zero, but don't quote me on that. Either way, you are fine on R1.
What's wrong with the remote and glasses?
I have contemplated BNF, but half the fun of fpv is building the drone, and then if your me, rebuilding it several more times until it’s as “perfect” as I can get it.
We all have different reasons for enjoying this hobby. It's definitely a satisfying feeling to build a quad and get it flying well.
What good headset works with this drone?
If you want the best, the official HD Zero goggles are nice, but the foam padding is not great.
Looks good!!! #RustyFPV
Thanks for watching!
can i mount a mini gopro on it?
Not really. It wouldn't fly well at all. Possibly a Peanut or Insta 360 could do better.
Can you use the radio on simulators?
I have used the FrSky version on the simulator, but don't think I've tried the ELRS version. I can try it out next week and get back to you if you'd like.
Yes the ELRS version works on DRL Simulator and Tryp FPV I have tried both. But the left gimbal failed in a few weeks of light use. Get a Radiomaster Boxer.
3 to 4 minutes flight time??
Over 6 minutes, actually! Not bad at all.
@@SunriseWaterMediaWhat about 1s or 2s Liion 18650 battery like Sony vtc6? Would be good for Long range?
Wdyt of the non hd version
Didn’t get to try it.
You'll want to hook it up to BetaFlight and turn the video transmitter strength up to 200milliwatt.
There are many instructions on how to do this. The video range is terrible until you do this, but it's very easy to fix.
Looks like you need some practise ypou a little #RustyFPV
Lol
Nice beard

That looks like a great option if you are wanting a quad with ducted props and an analog video signal. 👍
