The TinyHawk II Freestyle has been out for a few months now and it's a blast to fly.
But the original required some existing knowledge of FPV to set it up - bind it to your radio - map the switches in the radio - set up parameters in BetaFlight - and more. None of those things are extremely difficult, but they are a barrier for someone who just wants to charge batteries and fly FPV.
EMAX has addressed this issue with a RTF (ready to fly) version of the EMAX TinyHawk II Freestyle. This kit comes with everything you need - goggles, remote control, batteries, and the drone itself. The drone is already bound to the radio and the radio is already set up with switches assigned. This thing is ready to go out of the box. Just charge the batteries and start flying.
While it's pretty easy to get in the air, the TinyHawk II Freestyle is not a drone for absolute beginners. Some drone experience is a good thing to have. You can check out my full review of the TinyHawk II Freestyle here. • EMAX Tinyhawk II Frees...
If you already fly drones a bit and want to get into FPV, this is a quick and easy way to do it. Just be careful, once the FPV bug bites you, you're likely to start adding to your FPV drone collection!

Kelly, I really love to watch your content. You bring a joy to drone flying that is infectious. I enjoy the music you choose to use over the flights and in amateur radio we'd call you an Elmer -- a teacher of the next generation.
I haven't been flying much the last couple of months. After my dog died, it wasn't long before another came to live with me. As with all new family members, we're learning each other's way and I'm spending my time on training.
I had a chance to fly the Mavic Mini a few minutes during our Field Day expedition. I learned that it did not like flying at 6,500 feet. Regardless, I got a few stills of the site and it made for a good story and a few captures for my after action report.
I suspect I'll be flying again in the fall. I might get out one of the Husban X4s and see if the dog will try to eat it. Hah!
This looks addictive. Looking forward to this. Thanks Kelly.
Great flying, Kelly.
Kelly, another helpful, informative and TEMPTING video review. This is definitely on my Birthday Wish List. Just what a 74 year old kid needs😎👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
I love how accessible this is to all ages :)
I bought my grandfather a DJI mavic mini. I have one and I know it’s really easy. Well, he absolutely loves it and now has purchased a drone and is building his own! Amazing!
Great review Kelly
Thanks Dale!
awesome Video. Keep grinding 🤟
great review kelly .thinking about getting a ready to fly kit .would u recommend this or the other tiny hawk 2 .great video ..
looks pretty dope.....
Sweet bud!
Another great vid! I love this sound track! I know you offer a link for it. Its just the provider though. What the link or name of the to the track? Thak for the great work on drones!
Rick Britton, How cool ,Great video, I now know which fpv starter kit, to buy Thank you, You are a amazing pilot you make it look so easy-to-use. Sincerely Rick from Mo, God bless you and your family
Thanks Rick from Mo! I'm getting better all the time and this is a fun one to practice on.
This is perfect for beginner like me.. 💃💃
got a mavic mini. now i need the freakin goggles. i need this. 175 bux. take my money.
I'm going to get me one of those little Boogers one of these days Kelly LOL....Nice that you can fly it without using Beta flight...
Hi, thank you for the review! I´d like to ask, if is it possible to use transmitter and goggles from the old Tinyhawk (1)? (I mean that first one 75mm whoop style with white plastic cover) Because the look totaly similar.
Thank you!
I really want this and am going to get one but i need to know- Is the TH2Freestyle the same on the rtf as on the bnf?(power, PIDs, Rates, Speed) Thanks. Great vid!
looking at all these quads, I just want something that I can just go nuts with, but also have another model that can be used indoors, but I wouldn't need to buy multiple RTF kits for different Lil quads. totally looking forward to my quadcopter journey after being gifted a junk Deerc d10 drone, but really glad I got it. love my family to death cause it woke up a Lil part of me that says "oi, quads and drones are cool!" and I'm asking so many questions, and spent the last few hours learning and searching JUST quads and drones and different things.
You could consider the GEPRC Rocket - it's small enough to fly indoors and great outdoors as well.
@@readysetdrone sweet! Ill take a look at it. Its so hard to find quads that you dont know if they are just crap or from an actual reputable company. especially if you dont know what you are looking at or dont know much about the hobby.
Hello guys. Tell me, is it possible to install the 800x480 display in the glasses from this set instead of 480x272, which is from the factory?
Can the Insta 360 be used with the fpv goggles, or is it only for recording? Thanks
When I drop down a little bit the throttle just dissapers and I will still go down on full throttle. Any ideas because it’s really hard to fly when the throttle feels like it has no power?
Can you swap out the thumb sticks with other thumb pads?
Anyone have any tips getting the props off of this thing? I’m stumped
Hey Kelly! I was wondering if you know how to take the E6 controller from this exact kit and bind it to a tinyhawk 2 (not freestyle)?
Yes, same receiver I guess
A weird feeling when you realize someone you know co runs a big channel
At under $200, I am seriously considering Kelly. I have been wanting for sometime now flying simulation programs. Got to start somewhere......My OCD will get the best of me.....LOL
This little guy looks awesome! Does EMAX make a version that would be more suited to indoor flight? Any good Tiny Whoops RTF kit recommendations? Thanks
TinyHawk 2 or TinyHawk S - both great for indoors.
Hello, great video. I have the Emax Tinyhawk II complete with glasses and radio. Can I use these emax goggles and radio with this Tinyhawk Freestyle?
Yep!
Like the aircraft but mine "exploded" after only a few flights during a normal Bettafilght Air Mode landing. Somewhat bumpy landing but not at all unsual. The SUPPORTS are made from NYLON and stripped out. Pieces and screws went every which way. I'm replacing them with METAL. Lost one of the camera supports during the incident. 3D Printing another one. Having to design it myself. Unable to find one online. Can't wait to get it back in the air. Really performs. Hopefully it will hold up this time after fixing the DESIGN FLAW. 2s is about as big as you want to go on this class aircraft. Have a couple 3s in this size, too awkward.
Well flown Kelly! In that flight, were u actually using the Emax goggles please?? cos it looks really clear does the reception!! 😀👍👍
The recording was on the Insta360 Go, not the goggles. I was using them, but you can’t record to them.
The reception on the goggles is not even close to that clear.
@@readysetdrone Do u mean that the reception on the Emax goggles is'nt very good at all please Kelly?? 😀👍👍
I ordered one directly from emaxx shipped same day 🙌 wanted one so I can fly around while my limitless cools down after speed runs
I literally am buying one for the purpose to catch my felony flying 🤦♂️🤣
@@TheAIRSICK hahahhahhhaha
Howd you like yours man? Is it worth it? I'm about to pull the trigger also 🤪
@@TheAIRSICK I love it but I lost it lol the vtx is garbage and I ordered another one and lost that one aswell they flew cool but becareful where you fly. I rather just build which is what I do
I'm learning to fly anyways started off rcs with a slash so why not
Very nice kit. I noticed with the 360 video there was alot of jello in the camera and i also noticed it looked like a drop of water or something on the lens. Im not sure how the stability works on that camera or if it was even turned on for that flight. However makes me wonder if i might have made the mount to flimsy? Other then that the tinyhawk looked like it did very well with it attatched.
TinyHawk does great with it attached. Yes - a bit of jello, but it's not too bad IMO.
@@readysetdrone well im very excited to see that it worked :)
Is the Quality in the video how it looks in the googles?
I just got this kit and it’s my first fpv drone. I am wondering how you get the footage from the drone. Do the goggles have an SD card or is it in the drone?
Actually, neither. This version doesn't have an SD card slot in the goggles. (The tinyhawk 3 goggles do.)
To record the analog FPV view, I usually use a third party set of goggles, like fatshark, but for the HD video, I used the insta 360 go, mounted on top.
I have the RTF tinyhawk II whoop.. The goggles and drone are good but the radio they provide is absolute crap but simple fix is to replace it with the $40 Betafpv Lite 2 Radio.
Hey Kelly great video, do you know how to bind to that Controller that comes in that kit? I bought the first tiny hawk and lost it. I bought a TH2 and couldn’t figure how to bind it. That would make a good video.
I think you can - what radio do you currently have? I think in my TH2 review I show where the bind button is - they are very tricky to find sometimes. I'll email my contact at EMAX to see if you can bind other TinyHawk's to this radio that comes with the RTF kit. We need to get you back in the air!
Yes, the E6 radio transmitter is D8 and will bind with any D8 quad. To bind it, there's instructions:
Put the radio into bind mode by first powering on the radio and then press
and hold both the throttle trim down and pitch trim down buttons for 2
seconds until a red light turns on next to the green light around the power
button. Release the buttons and the red and green lights will flash indicating
the radio is in binding mode.
Ready Set Drone cool I’ll try that. Thanks 😊
Does anyone have a link to this specific kit with this drone? The only one I find Is a white quad and not sure if it as good as this. It's 209$ new. Looking for fpv "racing" drones for my buddy and I to get into it. Thanks!
Adorama seems to have it in stock at the moment
www.adorama.com/emxth2rtfo.html?
Would I be able to bind my TinyHawk V2 to the controller that comes
with this kit?
Yes
That looks like a blast! I can only fly the ez pilot outside because the dog will eat it and the ez pilot can’t handle much wind or it’s a goner! Probably going to give it to someone who can fly indoors without having to worry about a French bulldog with extreme anti-quad bias! Hahaha
Yeah - you don't want the dog ingesting that - imagine what would come out the other end!
Ready Set Drone No kidding! LOL For some reason it’s also a little easier for me to fly outside with FPV than indoors. I feel a little more confident. Probably because I will only break my quad instead of some what-not of Ms. Sweet Tater’s. Her grandma gave her this bell collection and I almost took one of them out. I DID NOT hit it, but you’d think by the way she chewed my ass that I had hit it right on the money. That put a stop to the indoor FPV racing. Hahah I still am missing about a pound of butt cheek on that left side where she got ahold of me.
If I want to upgrade later on can I use the goggles and radio on a different drone?
Yes, but with caveats. The goggles will work with any standard analog quad. The radio will only work with specific receivers, but they are fairly common still.
Kelly, can you use a different radio, ie, T16, etc?
Yes - it will bind with any D8 Radio
Why do i get better video connection with the rtf goggles rather than my fat shark scouts?
Hi Kelly great video what is a great drone simulator kit to buy where you get the goggles remote control and so on where I can practice and my kids can play without breaking anything. It looks like a lot of fun.
I like the Drone Racing League simulator or Liftoff. You can get both on the gaming service "STEAM" - if you are not familiar - just google STEAM GAMING and you'll find it. You don't need googles for the sim - and if you are on a PC, an XBOX controller will work - otherwise, I use a FRSKY Taranis and it works great!
@@readysetdrone Thanks Kelly will check it out.
how many minutes can fly thanks
Can i put a bigger battery?
Hello, I bought freestyle 2 rtf version but lost it so I bought freestyle 1 bnf E6 remote controller connected but transporter goggles could not be connected Please help
Did you try pressing the "A" button to scan on the goggles?
Kelly, hows it going, i just recieved my tinyhawk freestyle rtf kit, so far im moving along, but when i arm it it starts to bounce on the ground, idle to high is what id call it , i tried to adjust the throttle trim but it seem to get worse , so i calibrated the controller, but its just not right, when i landd it i have to slam down the switch because it will bounce every time , i been flying for a while , but this is a whole different animal, but boy it is fun!
any advice?
Yes - fly it line of sight, without the goggles a few times. Really work on not bouncing - just hovering in one place. After you can do that consistently, then put the goggles back on. I hope that helps!
@@readysetdrone its when i land and the throttle is all the way down that it bounces on the ground, i flew a few times today, i just disarm it as soon as it touches ground...if not it bounces... and yes im working on line of site. i have a lot of stick time with all kinds of toy drones, i even own a mavic air , had a phantom 4 once.... but this little thing is a whole different ball game ..... lots of spunk, i only have flown it in easy/ stabilize mode... i derstand what acro is in concept... but i aint ready for that yet. i have turned on the goggles, it works fine, but i havent tried to fly fpv yet....ill get there. and thanks alot Kelly, i appreciate it... i have been a subscriber to your channel for a few years. i live out in the country, lots of open space, and im a disabeled vet. its all i have to do ..... learn. i will get there thanks again...
@@readysetdrone I watched the video again , and when you flew it on the table right there in front of you, it bounced on the table when it touched down, thats what mine does, it didnt phase you so i figure thats "normal".... Im just trippin! yep, so that solved my worries! thanks again!
do you know what other controllers i can bind to this quad becasue I dont like the feeling of this controller. I have a fsi6 and a radiomaster elrs controller, will any of theses work on this quad?
Yes, any radio that is compatible with FrSky D8 will bind.
If you skip to 30 seconds into the following video, you'll see an example of how to bind this quad. th-cam.com/video/Kqt_hVNca7o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-pi0wvcGkS9UcsHR
Another radio that we use is the Radiomaster TX16s, which has Frsky built in, but it's not as simple to get set up as the Emax radios.
@@readysetdrone I think my fsi6 won’t work.
Correct. I believe that's a FlySky transmitter, rather than FrSky.
What do you do with the battery pack for fpv goggles? Just let it hang loose?
Hey, i hope this comment doesn't come in late, but there is a small pocket on the head straps where you can put the battery pack in, it sits on your head inside the head strap pocket that way it doesn't hang or get in the way. 😁
@@-never-gonna-give-you-up- thanks dude. I actually haven't flown mine yet. Maybe Saturday. Hope it's fun
I like how cheap or was!
@@DamplyDoo no problem man! I'm getting one soon too, it's going to be my first race/stunt/freestyle drone but I'm a bit worried that ite going to fly away when it loses connection 😅 I'm currently flying a mavic mini so its always going home when it doesn't get a signal 😆 have you got any experience with those race drones and fly aways or no signal?
@@-never-gonna-give-you-up- this is literally my first drone. I know, maybe bad choice. I get they're twitchy and it's all on the pilot for controlled flight. Oh well! I wanna try!
Was all the flight footage from the Insta 360?
Yes
Can this fly with a GoPro or OsmoAction strapped to it??
Probably not
Let it be known. If I take up FPV, it will be Kelly's fault!!
how fast she is?
I just ordered one lol
Nice!
@@readysetdrone this will be my first ever Fpv drone
@@Treadsmoke_officialhow do u like it ? I just bought one today but had to go to work before I could fly it . First test flight will be tomorrow 🙌
@@MrGuyOnTheFly I hate it it flew good the first day second day i armed it and it went crazy and it wouldn’t arm huge waste of money!
damn thats unfortunate , ive had mine for about 4 days now , flown it every single day with out an issue , i absolutely love this thing, are u sure your throttle wasnt all the way in the down position when trying to arm it ? if its up it wont arm , and could it have possibly gone crazy because it was in acro mode ?
@@Treadsmoke_official
Nice .... I just bought my first fpv. ??? Hope I don’t destroy it. 👍🦅
Just practice hovering first - small moves with the stick - get used to the feeling - then start flying around. Also - try one of the Drone Racing Sims too!
I forgot to mention. I just bought the tiny hawk 2 from your link below. Thanks for the tips 🙏
Looks good Kelly, but a better choice IMO is the regular Tinyhawk RTF kit. Beginners would be safer with ducted props and if they have advanced past that, they will probably have a real radio and goggles and could just buy the drone by itself
All good points. I mentioned in the video that this is not for total drone beginners for all the reasons you mentioned. Thanks for the comment.
I am seriously looking at getting this. Unlike Geeksvana I will not blame you Kelly. I will blame Docmurdoc for turning me to the Darkside.
Hi, how good are the goggles?
OK for inexpensive goggles - but not something you would want to use long term.
@@readysetdrone Do you know of any better goggles that are still quite cheap?
Tinyhawk 2 freestyle rtf, or Tinyhawk 2 rtf, for a complete fpv beginner.
I asked the same question I got the eachine novice 3 it’s very similar it’s powerful for its size unless you feel like having a learning curve go with the freestyle
My drone won’t fly as smooth, how can I help it?
Make sure all the propellers are installed correctly -- sometimes it's easy to put them on upside down.
You could also double check that the screws and nuts are tight.
@@readysetdrone alright, thanks
@@readysetdrone are the props supposed to be in a diagonal pattern they are the same? Because my drone on each side it’s opposite. Like this pattern, (each o and I are the same side)
I O
O I
Yes, diagonal is correct. Just be sure to closely check that one or more aren't literally upside down. I've done that before.
You're probably fine, but I thought I'd mention it.
my arm switch isnt working ughhh
Hey Nolan - here is the reply I sent to another person who could not get their ARM switch to work. I hope this helps:
Hey Jim - I didn't see an email, but, but I can offer some suggestions based on your description. First, I don't know how familiar you are with Betaflight, so forgive me if some of this seems too obvious. So you said it is bound. When you go to the "receiver" tab in Betaflight, does what you think is the "arm" switch move the bar/graphic?
If so, then you need to go to "modes" and make sure the switch you want to use to arm the quad is set to the correct AUX and then make sure that one position is "in range" on the slider (armed) and one position of the button is "out of range" (disarmed). The "modes" tab is really the most important part of setting up Betaflight. Please LMK if this info is helpful.
after a coma and fixed income i saved up to buy this rtf, worse choice i have ever made. Love the hobby and your videos. what comes this kit is trash, even the runcam nano 2 would fog up after couple min. just chill and save your money
Not sure if my wife will approve of me spending more money on man toys. Soo tempted... 😄
I hear you - honestly, that's why I started my TH-cam channel - to pay for my drone habit!
Ready Set Drone Diddo. I bet she didn’t expect that habit to turn into success.#inspiring 👏🏻❤️
figure everything will be deleted, but emax didnt give to fucks about the product, find another manufacture
