This is my review of the Happymodel Mobula6 HD with setup tips. Joshua Bardwell - Jumper T16 How To Bind and Set Up New Model • Jumper T16 How To Bind...
I have the Jumper T16 Pro v2 Carbon and it's pretty awesome except I had to change the page ribbon internally. Nice setup and review on the mobula6 Great video , my friend
Thanks for the review. I’m glad I got to see it, but I think I will pass on this one. I was happy to see some footage of the runcam 3 camera. Thanks again!
Hi Drone Footage, I think you are doing the right thing by learning FPV on the whoop first. They are very crash resistant and require no soldering most of the time to fix. Have fun! SLOG
Hi thanks gorgeous this helpful Video, on reciver tab 4:17 I gave a Flysky Reciver what would be the model Name for Flysky if you know it? If not how can I find out?
My bad, going through comments that I did not get a notification bell on. Here is the channel mapping for frsky. channel-1=ailerons channel-2=elevator channel-3=throttle channel-4=rudder and i use channel 5 for flaps This how my turnigy9x with frsky 9 channel rx is setup
I just set up my Mob6 HD. Had the screen go black on me also. Removed memory card and got much better flight time before the blackout screen. Did a long format on the memory card and it seemed to fix it. Also. Can’t get my beeper to work? Any ideas on getting some sound out of this to find the tiny little thing in the grass with my eyes and ears and not my foot?
Sorry for the late response. Was going through comments that I did not get a bell notification. Unfortunately this model does not have a real buzzer. You can set up DSHOT Beacon to buzz the motors but the motors are tiny and do not put out enough sound to help in tall grass. I just arm the quad and use the spinning motor sound to find them. SLOG
@CaptainDrones_ID, I looked in the camera settings with the camera control board and did not see a date field in any of the camera settings menus. I also looked at the user manual for the RunCam Split3 Nano and did not see anything there. You might contact Runcam support. Sorry, SLOG
Hi Matt, the battery charger that came with this kit is not the best. I use an older Happymodel charger that can charge up to 6 batteries and has voltage LED read out. But to answer question, I tested it and moving the switch towards the USB connector is HV (High Voltage 4.35). SLOG
Mine came unlocked. The VTX is only capable of 25mw and no channels were locked out (eg Raceband channel 1). I do not see a VTX Button on the Crazybee F4 Lite controller. Also nothing documented. So no I do not know how. Did you actually try through the OSD or the betaflight configurator? Sorry SLOG
@@slogfpv5679 Thanks for the reply. The reason I'm asking is that I've had a Mobula 6 HD for about 9 months now, and I must have unlocked the VTX, because it seems to show that it's on 200mw, but I don't know how to do that. I'm getting a new one and an trying to figure out what I did. I tend to forget these details. 🌞 Thanks anyway.
How does this mobula 6 hd start and stop recording video? Also, how does the camera controller board work? Do the settings show on the OSD? I can't seem to find any info on it.
The factory settings are set to start recording when you plug in the battery. You can change this with the controller board if you would rather push the button on the Runcam Split3 Lite. As far as settings, I was OK with the factory defaults for posting on UA-cam. However, if you want to tweak the settings I am going to link Rimzler's channel who has a good video on how to use the controller board as well as best settings for post processing of the videos. ua-cam.com/video/eRdYtIxdJYw/v-deo.html
Have you upgraded to 4.2? I’m having trouble binding with beta flight at all. The current configuration doesn’t support 3.5.7. The 4.0 version on the current configurator doesn’t have CLI dumps on happymodels website. They have 4.3 firmware and dumps so I got bf configuration 10.8 and i just can’t get it to bind with my jumper t lite (using fly sky). However I’m easily able to get it to bind with emu flight. I just want to use beta flight again as emu feels kinda slow and has a lot of prop wash. Thanks
Hi S H, Not wanting to dissuade you, but I would not rush to upgrading to 4.2x unless you know how to tune. I thought the 3.5.7 tune was good. I actually changed out the frame (see ua-cam.com/video/O9bOUM7pagA/v-deo.html ) but that was tuned for that frame. I was using 4.2.5. You could start with my slider settings and adjust from there. Use CLI command "set rx_spi_protocol =FLYSKY_2A"
@@slogfpv5679 hey bro, thank you for replying. I actually did a frame upgrade as well to the mob7 frame. I can’t get a beta flight configurator version that supports the old 3.5.7. So do you know what i need to do to get my quad flying on beta flight again?
@@SH-ry2xi I keep an old version of Betaflight Configurator 10.4.1 github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases You can then load the 3.5.7 hex file from happymodel site for flysky PS here is a link to Nick Burns who did a similar mod to what you did running 3.5.7: ua-cam.com/video/FDC6glg4zmA/v-deo.html Cheers, SLOG
man, this is turning into a huge pain. Since i'm on a newer firmware edition, the old configurator doesn't see the board in order to flash it to 3.5.7..
Hi Stringa, When you say will not go into bind mode, does that mean when push the bind button after the battery is plugged in, it does not turn solid red indicating it is in bind mode? If so you may have a defective bind button. I have the Frsky version.
Hi albert, I would make sure you are using the following recommended SD card types: 64G(need Class 6 or above, recommend Class 10/UHS-I/UHS-II/UHS-III). If you have tried a different SD card, here is a link to Runcam support on a similar topic: support.runcam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000678847-What-to-do-if-RunCam-Split-Mini-says-No-Card-Memory-Full-Card-Error-

Thanks Home Dronen FPV! I have not had any problems with my T16 but I have heard others have with the ribbon cables.
Thank you for the info! I have one on the way and will definitely be referring back to this video
best setup video I've ever seen thank you so much
Appreciate the feedback!
Thank you for the tips with the battery settings 👍 I'm setting up mine now. I will flash EMU on it asap though.

thanks so much for this great review 👍🤩👍
Thanks doktor drone!
i'll buy one after christams thanks for review
I am glad the video is helpful. Thanks for the feedback!
I just bought one of these. I have the DJI FPV and want this to practice instead of destroying the other one 😁

Hi, i have a question.
I have mobula 6 HD , but the recorded file from SD card on Mobula is year 2015. How to Fix this ? please help

How do you start recording or does it just auto record every flight?
Yes it is configured to automatically record from the factory.
Bro casually flicked away a wasp 😭😭
Yes I do battle with them all the time. Best not swat them too hard.

What position should my battery charger switch be in. No info on this anywhere!!!

Do you know how to unlock the VTX on the Mobula 6 HD?

For bring out recorded movie i must remove screws and then remove sd card ? or mayby can i use usb ?
It's real tight, isn't it. I took the prop off to get at it more. Little annoying but it worked.
Does the SD card go directly into the quad or how does it save hd
Yes you plug the SD card directly into the quad and the default setting is start recording on power up.
@@slogfpv5679 what else is a good hd recording quad? I have the tinyhawk race 2 and I'd love if that had hd recording
@@iowalks GEPRC SKIP HD 3 or 2.5 or BetaFPV BNF HX115 HD 3 come to mind. You could also buy a Tinyhawk 2 FS and put an Insta360 on it.

I keep an old version of Betaflight Configurator 10.4.1
github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases
You can then load the 3.5.7 hex file from happymodel site for flysky

SLOG FPV all good now mate. Turns out I have a v2 board so it has different binding lights. Eventually figured it out but thank you aswell.

Yes I am very impressed with the camera. Ordered one that I will be using in a toothpick conversion.
