This review is so timely. For weeks now, I had been planning to either buy or build one, but suddenly the new Air models were released, which has made my decision more difficult.

I agree man and I wish the "old" stuff stayed longer. FPV tech just moves so fast but I hope companies keep selling parts for the older drones - atleast for a little while
you should try it with those "lava" branded- or any folded cell / square cell 1s, I heard they improve the performance of 65mm drones massively so should make even more of a difference on a bigger drone right?
my meteor 75 pro is on its way to my doorstep! I think its overall better than the air75. Heard a lot reviewers complaining about the fragile canopy and that you cant do a lower cam angle than like 30 degrees.

I had that canopy months before the air76/65 release and I broke so many in a few months 🤣
Hey! Great review again. Really enjoyable! I have a question. Again. How did you build you pvc pipes tower? Do you have a Vid for something like that or did you just did it your self? Any suggestions for me building something similar in my room?
@@Sprote1 hey hey! it's actually very simple and I can give you some instructions but I believe if you search IGOW gates (official dimensions used for contests), you'll see a bunch of pilots videos on it. Nonetheless, here's what I did: - 1/2 inch PVC pipes cut into 42cm long segments - bought several types of fittings. Best to sketch out a diagram of what you want yours to be and plan out what type of PVC fittings you want since they come different angles and number of connectable segments. There's Ls, Ts, and a bunch of other ones too. - I personally wouldn't glue them together but they should have some friction to them when you out it together - I also have a 5ft long PVC at the top that's just ziptied to the main tower to try out powerloops, mattys, and split-s'
Fantastic job on the review and with both indoor and outdoor flights with the Meteor 75 Pro I look forward to seeing you get your hands on the latest Air 75 to compare both whoops against each other??
After 1 year to watch fpv freestyle montage etc. yesterday i order my first fpv drone kit whit the meteor 75 pro, the radiomaster pocket and the ev800dm eachine u think is good to start? I play in sim like every day in the past month so i really want a real one =). Nice vids!!
@@Son1c55 I humbly welcome you to the fpv world man! happy to have you. looks like you're set for your first flights with that much Sim time XD and dw your setup should be fine. Just make sure your drone and controller both have elrs - if you need help binding there's tons of videos for it or just hmu. Thanks for stopping by man! hope you have lots of fun!
I don't really like the 2024 for the reasons I've mentioned in my video but I also haven't tried the air 65 so I can't really give you a real answer XD I will say that many people so far like the air65
2:45 - Now, since you mentioned the cable: this is a thing that's been bothering me since I got my Meteor. Everything these days is USB-C. Smartphones, chargers, the cable and even the small charger / voltage checker in the kit. But do you know what is not USB-C? You're right: the connector on the drone. That one is micro USB. So you can't use the cable to connect the drone to your computer. Instead, you'll probably have to purchase a new micro USB cable because you threw them all away 5 years ago. It's probably because there was no more space left on the FC to fit an USB-C plug, but man, I wished they had at least put another cable iin the box.
this is a very valid critism on their part XD tho that's mostly because most whoop boards are still using micro usb (it has a smaller footprint than usb c) which they did change in their air series. It makes sense too since the meteor series (where they started using the cross f4 board) started years ago. cool that they made that change in the air 75 and 65 so it should be easier now and pilots won't need to find new cables to use since most usb cables have data lines
It’s my favorite I don’t ever want to be without a meteor 75 I just fly it around inside and out all the time. I have the air 75 ordered, curious to see how it’ll compare because if they never changed anything I think the meteor 75 is phenomenal
@@StarrFamilyVideo I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna be bringing this guy with me to all my trips XD hope the air75 lives up too! I have high expectations for it and I genuinely hope I can try both Air65 and Air75.
@@im_ricebowl I’ve given the 65 a good thrash and only the 75 lightly - they are tuned quite well and at 21g the 75 just floats and bounces unscathed in crashes
Cool i’ve been fly 75pro frames a bunch the last month. Just did a walksnail build for hd too. If i don’t use extra long FC screws the little posts break off fast. I think i’m going to put an old mob7 style canopy on it so the camera sits further forward and keeps the ducts more minimized
@@Shauny_D I've been hearing from people how durable the frame is looks like it really does live up to that. Actually wanna take this chance to say I'm a fan of your content XD I'd do the same too tbh, though I don't completely mind the ducts in view
the beta FPV batteries are really low quality, they are treated poorly and will never meet the suggested flight times, but the whoop is pretty solid. I am kind of interested in the pre-order of the 2024 version, I just don't have any use for a tiny drone. I'm lucky to have a local group and room to fly.
@@greedfox7842 imma agree with that XD tho their lava batteries have been getting praise so atleast we have options from the same brand! I like these small drones just cause it's so easy to travel with them and sneak in a few flights in some spots XD.
Mate I am in your camp - it flies really really well and for soooo long on the lava 550…like I wondered if my board bugged out with it vtage readout - I got over 5 minutes most times
@@rodsawhite it really is insanely efficient and that's one thing that I love about it. Sometimes I just like "soooo it's been 3 mins now...what do I do now? Just hover till my battery dies down?" XD so used with just 3 mins of flight my dvr recordings are so long XD
@@stop9889 nicee!! I highly suggest adding that ziptie to the antenna and use some floss to keep the battery strap from being chewed up. if you're experiencing too much prop wash, I suggest UAVtech's vid! Have fun fam!!
The air 65 and 75 are certainly lightweight and agile. But it's basically the same weight savings and low durability of the 2024 mobula 6. My 2024 mobula 6 died much faster than any FPV product I've ever owned. I bought an air 75, but only because it's so cheap and my expectations are low. If it goes badly I'm either going for a meteor 75 next or done with micros altogether.
Imma be real with you, after realizing that added weight isn't that bad, I may just take the guts out of the Air75/65 and use a more durable frame and canopy XD. hope the air75/65 does actually work well, specifically thr aio since that's really what I'm after cause I wanna use it for future Hachidorii frames. Hope she flies great fam! and thanks for stopping by!
Nice flying. 75mm isn't too big, imho. I miss my LDARC ET100; a 100g, 2S, 2-inch beastie. My last one died last year, and I switched to the Happymodel Mobula8 - a slightly smaller 2S, 2-inch. I find a 1S to be too skittish. Old guy, old reflexes.
ngl the 2in 2s format is one of my favorites aswell before I flew whoops and I remmeber watching reviews on the ET100. Thanks for stopping by and watching fam!
@@smika710 I love it too! and I plan to bring it with me in my upcoming trips. I sadly don't have e6000 😅 but may I ask where'd you'd use that instead of zipties?
@@im_ricebowl Its a semi permanent flexible single part epoxy. If you want to hold an antenna in place on the frame, keep the antenna plugged into the FC, or especially to fix a crack in a whoop frame.. it works great. Sets in 4 min good enough to fly again. 72 hours and it is firm. And importantly you can peel it off like dried glue if you need to.
@@El_Muffy yupp just the rates for my testing...I think it's natural for people to use their personal rates since it's what they're used to flying. I know most reviewers do that too
@@El_Muffy you can but rates are really subjective XD Im not used to it but you can check out my mobula 6 2024 shorts....the stock flights had default rates but I still managed to do some freestyle stuff. But yeah very subjective

If i don’t use extra long FC screws the little posts break off fast.
I think i’m going to put an old mob7 style canopy on it so the camera sits further forward and keeps the ducts more minimized
@@Shauny_D I've been hearing from people how durable the frame is looks like it really does live up to that. Actually wanna take this chance to say I'm a fan of your content XD
I'd do the same too tbh, though I don't completely mind the ducts in view
@@im_ricebowl yah i don’t mind seeing the whoops it’s just a hair too much.
@@im_ricebowl It’s always cool to hear people know who you are! thanks!
@@Shauny_D makes sense XD everyone's got their own preferences
looking forward to more of your flights! hope I can fly like you one day XD
@@im_ricebowl You’re killing it probably better than me. I just rely on creative flying and stubbornness to look better than i am. haha
what the size of your blue hurdle,i want to make one too,thx
one cube is 41cm^3 and the long bar is around 1 meter long (but you can adjust that to however you want it to be)
the beta FPV batteries are really low quality, they are treated poorly and will never meet the suggested flight times, but the whoop is pretty solid.
I am kind of interested in the pre-order of the 2024 version, I just don't have any use for a tiny drone. I'm lucky to have a local group and room to fly.
@@greedfox7842 imma agree with that XD tho their lava batteries have been getting praise so atleast we have options from the same brand! I like these small drones just cause it's so easy to travel with them and sneak in a few flights in some spots XD.
Mate I am in your camp - it flies really really well and for soooo long on the lava 550…like I wondered if my board bugged out with it vtage readout - I got over 5 minutes most times
@@rodsawhite it really is insanely efficient and that's one thing that I love about it. Sometimes I just like "soooo it's been 3 mins now...what do I do now? Just hover till my battery dies down?" XD so used with just 3 mins of flight my dvr recordings are so long XD
@@im_ricebowl yeah 100 percent. I run out of steam on some batteries :)
@@rodsawhite same man XD I need a refresh between each flight
I wanna see someone put a WALKSNAIL 1s whoop VTX on this to see it done
@@LehtusBphree2flyFPV I'd love to but I'm broke to get HD XD Hit up Shauny_D tho! he just mentioned adding walksnail to his
@@im_ricebowl found him thank you bro I'm watch but didn't know which one
Awesome quad✌🏼
I agree! 🙌
got mine coming tomorrow :D
@@stop9889 nicee!! I highly suggest adding that ziptie to the antenna and use some floss to keep the battery strap from being chewed up. if you're experiencing too much prop wash, I suggest UAVtech's vid! Have fun fam!!
The air 65 and 75 are certainly lightweight and agile. But it's basically the same weight savings and low durability of the 2024 mobula 6. My 2024 mobula 6 died much faster than any FPV product I've ever owned.
I bought an air 75, but only because it's so cheap and my expectations are low. If it goes badly I'm either going for a meteor 75 next or done with micros altogether.
Imma be real with you, after realizing that added weight isn't that bad, I may just take the guts out of the Air75/65 and use a more durable frame and canopy XD.
hope the air75/65 does actually work well, specifically thr aio since that's really what I'm after cause I wanna use it for future Hachidorii frames. Hope she flies great fam! and thanks for stopping by!
Nice flying. 75mm isn't too big, imho. I miss my LDARC ET100; a 100g, 2S, 2-inch beastie. My last one died last year, and I switched to the Happymodel Mobula8 - a slightly smaller 2S, 2-inch. I find a 1S to be too skittish. Old guy, old reflexes.
ngl the 2in 2s format is one of my favorites aswell before I flew whoops and I remmeber watching reviews on the ET100. Thanks for stopping by and watching fam!
Also why zip tie whoops just e6000
@@smika710 I love it too! and I plan to bring it with me in my upcoming trips. I sadly don't have e6000 😅 but may I ask where'd you'd use that instead of zipties?
@@im_ricebowl Its a semi permanent flexible single part epoxy. If you want to hold an antenna in place on the frame, keep the antenna plugged into the FC, or especially to fix a crack in a whoop frame.. it works great. Sets in 4 min good enough to fly again. 72 hours and it is firm. And importantly you can peel it off like dried glue if you need to.
@@smika710 gotcha! thank you I may look into that!
Great video
I got one on a sub250 baby turtle 🐢 ❤
@@monsterminibike ngl, I did have plans getting the baby turtle....thanks for the idea fam! and thank you for watching!
@@im_ricebowl got dime motors from tiny whoop
@@im_ricebowl did 2s with mob8 camra hit aio working on getting baby rattle micro cam hopefully that will fit better
@@monsterminibike I think it should. Hope it turns out well fam!
doesn’t matter the question, tacos is always the answer 🌮
bruhh the 2 BNFs didn't even have a chance! Tacos all the way!! 🌮🌮🌮
So you changed the rates, those are not stock?
@@El_Muffy yupp just the rates for my testing...I think it's natural for people to use their personal rates since it's what they're used to flying. I know most reviewers do that too
@@im_ricebowl with stock rates is it possible to flip it and roll or its slow?
@@El_Muffy you can but rates are really subjective XD Im not used to it but you can check out my mobula 6 2024 shorts....the stock flights had default rates but I still managed to do some freestyle stuff. But yeah very subjective
Love this drone, just doesn't have float, authority in the wind, and cheap parts
man i wrote you in another video, do you have a way to contact you? i have videos of my drone issues i'd like to send you so you can help, where can i contact?
hey man! slr i was on my way back to the PH. My recent YT videos and my channel actually has a link you can go to and my email is there too! there's also discord there I believe
