got mine off getFPV, the controller was labeled but the drone doesnt seem to have been calibrated correctly, ill do the auto calibrate again tomorrow and report back. amazing little drone tho, survived banging into ceilings, walls and even getting tangled in my dogs tail lol
I bought this RTF based on your recommendation and love it. It's my daily flyer - no matter the weather. My dog loves it to, so we're already onto TH3 number three. Well, I bought two complete drones and number three from the first two plus spares. The video on using a TH3 frame to build an HDZ/ELRS is going on my list.
This has been one of my favorite aircraft for some time now. Good indoors but runs great outdoors as well, super safe. Love to fly it outside on a windy gusty day, really fun. My dogs snatched it out of the air one too many times and broke the frame in multiple places, still flew fine, a little wonky. Can't be glued because it is made of something like Polypropylene. A new body only cost $10. For a while, I liked how it flew with the broken frame, made it even more fun on a windy day, all wobbly and stuff. Finally got tired of the instability and replaced the frame, a somewhat tedios process. Runs like brand new. I beat the daylights out of mine, really rugged. Just got the EMAX TH2 Freestyle. That little thing is a beast, amazing.
The TH3 is definitely is a rugged beast of a drone. I've heard great things about the TinyHawk 2 Freestyle. I just reviewed a similar drone, the TinyApe Freestyle, and it seems to be a direct competitor to the TH2 Freestyle. That video should be coming out tomorrow. Check it out and let me know if there are any differences compared to yours. I would like to know, and maybe it could help other pilots in the buying process as well. Thanks!
Thanks for your video. Maybe I missed it, but showing how to set up the simulator would make this a truly all inclusive video. Also had a hard time telling which way the switches were. Great video! Never used a drone before was flying around the yard within an hour of unboxing.
thanks mate, great video. I needed something to get me set up and flying and your video was exactly what I was looking for. Also, Emax must have listened, as I have bought my TinyHawk III 2 years after your video and the controller has labels on it!
Just got mine and I must say I am very impressed. Got the RTF because I'm still learning betaflight with my Fullspeed leader 120 build. I'm now trying to figure out how to unlock 200 on the vtx without betaflight.... This thing is so much more powerful than I thought a 1s could be. Got 525mah 80/160c lipo sticks and couldn't be happier. Love this one and an going to order the hawk freestyle next
When you say Auto-level, do you mean auto-hovering? When in Angle mode, or any mode for that matter, the drone will still drift, and not maintain altitude unless it has that specific feature. I think I need more clarification on what the drone is doing.
yeah you prettymuch need to be an accomplished drone flyer to have any chance flying these things. and good luck with the goggles- i can't use them because my eyes aren't perfect. the utter lack of instructions with this drone is maddening. it's basically garbage, and i regret buying it 100%. i played with it a few minutes when i got it then put it away, disgusted. now a few months later i can't even get the props to fire up. no instructions, of course. maddening.
Thanks for the video!! Sorry for the possible stupid question, but is it possible to upgrade the recording camera somehow? Thats the only thing that is stopping me from buying this set, the flickering is insane and ruins any video, even a video quality of just like a Tinygo 4k would make me feel better! Cheers
You can change/ upgrade the camera on it, but the camera is not bad. Most of the flickering comes from the fact that these drones are equipped with an Analog video system. The DVR can also contribute to the flickering(especially with this goggle). Any analog drone including the TinyGo will have interference in the video feed. The TinyGo is special in the fact that it records a digital feed to an SD card independent of the Analog transmission system.
@@OneManUnmanned Thanks for the reply! So basically i would need to buy a cam with a direct digital SD recording, or is it much more complicated than i am assuming? Im new to this and it's a pretty complex subject haha - Thank you!
Yes, it's more complicated than that. You can go for a digital system like DJI, HDZero, or WalkSnail to have clear image. You can also go for an analog system, with a split camera setup that sends a clear uninterrupted signal to an on-board DVR(examples are the TinyGo 4K or Mobula6 HD). I would recommend you do some research on digital vs analog transmission systems. There are benefits to both.
Maybe someone can help me cause Im not seeing this info...how do I hover? It seems the drone wants to turn even if there is no turn input. Just got it today and messing around finding I have NO control. If anyone has a good video on forst time maneuverability, please link me
It's difficult to answer this question, not knowing your prior experience level. FPV drones are different than camera drones and are particularly difficult to control at first, or with little experience. They have little to no automation, and everything (including hovering) has to be done by you, the pilot. I would highly recommend downloading a sim, and start practicing. It's cheap, you can experiment while flying, and will create a stress free / no jeopardy environment to learn. If you still want to fly instead, here's a video I found about learning to fly. ua-cam.com/video/3-3BvdjGsVw/v-deo.html
i am getting one too in about a month i bought one from marketplace with 14 batteries and 2 extra chargers for 210 euros a friend of mine will look at is to see if it still flies good and hes recieved it and he says it looks good so im exited to do my first flight!
Understood... yeah, ELRS is pretty much the future. I don't know how long EMAX and its engineers worked on this kit. It could have been months before ELRS became popular. Then they would also need to develop a transmitter as well(more cost to them). I think it will eventually happen. I think BetaFPV is the only company with an official radio with built-in ELRS.
Just bought this, love it but i do get a lot of signal break up and i struggle as i need glasses to read but loving it and it has wet my appetite to get into fpv deeper perhaps with a cinelog 25
Yes, it's a good starter kit and the goggles are subjective, especially when it comes to focusing distance. As far as the break up, make sure you're at the maximum power of 200mw.
Hey nice videos, one question though, why is the video transmission popping in and out so much? For $170.00 I would hope the video reception would be better, or is it because of the beginning style goggles. Thanks.
Very good question... Some other reviewers have noticed the same thing, but I do feel it's the nature of the beginner style goggles and more importantly the quality of the DVR. My reception in the goggles was not as bad shown by the DVR. Analog DVRs have a history of doing this and showing more interference than what's actually experienced in the actual goggles.
I don't know exactly what you're experiencing, but there could be many things that may cause your drone not to arm. First thing to note is that your drone will not arm if the throttle is up. Throttle has to be at full idle(lowest position) to arm the TinyhawkIII. If your radio is in fact not bind to your drone, no radio switch or input will make the drone respond. Ready Set Drone made a great video showing how to bind the radio to the drone. I'll link it below. Hope it helps. ua-cam.com/video/IGgMNDSgkTg/v-deo.html
I stopped using that charger a long time ago, but did not have any issue with it other than it was slow and that it only charged 2 batteries at a time. I have this now and would recommend something similar. They even have a newer version. ua-cam.com/video/4hBmitnXz_Y/v-deo.html
@@OneManUnmanned alright thanks but k don’t have Many battery’s so don’t Realy need it yet. So how does the charger that you get with the rtf kit work? Do i just plug it in my laptop/charging brick and then just plug in the battery’s and pull it out if there full?
Yes, plug it into a computer or brick. I think the lights turn green or go out completely when fully charged. It's always a good idea to monitor the batteries when they are charging. Never charge the batteries, and leave them plugged in overnight while you sleep.
Can someone please tell mw how ro get into the menu interface. I had this drone a month ago but broke it so i bought a new one but now i have forgot how to go into the menu. I knew how to do it before
My dad may have asked this, but I wanted to up the signal strength to the vtx. My problem is that at the moment I don't have a computer. Is there a way to up the signal strength without computer?
Thanks for the video. I just got the Tinyhawk 3 and for whatever reason the left stick up / down does nothing. If I give it left / right it tries to yaw on the floor. Right stick also triggers the motors. This has to be something stupid / silly that I'm missing. Any ideas? Eager to check this thing out.
That sounds weird... Are you in crash/flip(turtle) mode? This mode allows you to flip the drone over after a crash. Usually only the right sticks widths in this mode. You can also confirm that all your radio sticks work by plugging your drone into Betaflight, go to the receiver tab, and check if you see stick movements from all channels.
Haha.. awesome. Yeh, I'm a diehard car enthusiasts. Automotive content is difficult in many ways to make though. The other channel is BakeryPilot. I'll document the turbo swap eventually.
@@OneManUnmanned awesome man I’ll check it out. Your videos on this channel are top notch. I’m honestly surprised you don’t have more subscribers. I have a focus st so love me some turbskies!
One Man Unmanned was just started just a few months ago, and used what I learned (good and bad)from my automotive channel to help make this one better. It's still a work in progress. My wife owned a Fiesta ST and now has a Gti. Stock vs stock, the Fiesta was a more fun/engaging car.
I am a total newbie to the drone hobby and thanks to your reviews I bought the Tinyhawk 3 kit. The drone comes with the VTX set to 25mW. I noticed that you and most reviewers fly at 200mW. I tried changing the VTX from 25 to 200 in the monitor menu. After saving the change on the monitor menu, the VTX was still at 25mW. How exactly can I get this done? Do I use Betaflight or are there other steps required when using the monitor menu?
that was so smooth. i like how you hold the height. i cant seam to hold the height. yes i am new to this type of drone. i make small throttle but i cant keep it at one height.
Thank you. Yes, throttle management is difficult, but extremely crucial in FPV flying. I still struggle with that aspect of FPV flying as well. It will get better with time and practice.
I'm getting discouraged. I bought a Bugs 16 from Banggood, did all prep, hit auto takeoff, it went up 9', turned over and came down...not even 2 seconds and it no longer broadcasts wifi. I just got my Tinyhawk 3. Charged everything, goggles connect, switch into ARM position, nothing happens. The lights on the drone simply blink fast and that's it. Changing batteries did zero. What did I do wrong?
@@OneManUnmanned I know I keep bugging you...please forgive me...is it normal that drones want to drift backwards? Is it always a constant battle to keep it level?
Yes, it's always a battle to keep it level. The pilot is practically doing everything. That's why is so amazing to see all these well flown fpv videos on UA-cam. Anything can make a drone drift, even a ceiling fan inside a house. Having said that, there are trim buttons on your remote to help with drift, but I would not recommend it as it's not normal practice to use trim in FPV. Last option would be to calibrate your gyro in the drone or the gimbals in your radio. Those rarely need to be done in an RTF kit though. I think with time, you'll get better on the sticks and not even notice "drone drift".
I don't know what you mean. In Angle mode the drone should be level once you release the controls. As far as maintaining altitude, you have to use the throttle to keep the drone in the same place.
@@OneManUnmanned the drone will shift too the left and slightly backwards. I updated it with betaflight and used the trim afterwards but it's not perfect albeit alot better. any clue?
These drones don't typically need to be adjusted in BetaFlight. Trims are not normally used in FPV drones. I would suggest you put the trims back to center then recalibrate your gyroscope/accelerometer in Betaflight. The drone needs to be in a flat/level surface when doing the recalibration.
Yes, It’s one of the best drones to start in FPV. Everything you’ll need to start flying, is included in the kit. I would suggest you by additional batteries. You could also piece together a kit if you do some research, and know what you want.
Thanks. Your video was REALLY excellent, a good review. But this and every other review I have seen of this drone shows such bad flickering of the video that it's a total deal-breaker. The video feed looks like a lightning storm. I don't know how you could fly through any gaps when the video is breaking up at least once per second. I'd buy this in a minute if it had a decent video feed. Do all analog drones have this? Guess I'm spoiled with the DJI Avata - does not have this problem at all.
This is Totally normal in an Analog drone. It’s the main reason why digital is so expensive. The image on a digital drone is soo much cleaner, with less interference.
Thanks for the Sub... Since I do publish reviews on these drones, I keep the factory settings to get an objective feeling of the drones. So, factory tune, and it flies well on it.
Quality video brother, nice and smooth flying as well. Making me consider getting a micro drone so I can fly around the house when its raining outside. Subbed up!!! Look forward to more of your content as your channel continues to grow 😎💪.
Thanks for the video. Took mine for the first flights today. Lots of hovering. Trim seems weird like it wants to pull to the right. Not such a big deal when headed away but returning is really challenging. Is there a way to calibrate the controller to the drone?
Thank you James...I think you can trim the drift out using the trim buttons. As far as calibrating the sticks, you have to press the L3 button(Left trim-left button) while powering on the radio. The power light will flash fast, then flash slowly. Once the light is flashing slowly, then you can calibrate the sticks(all gimbals) by moving them in their full travel each direction. Once you have moved the sticks in all full directions, then you press the L3 button again. The radio should reset and reboot. I'll live a link to the E8 manual for better clarity and instructions: drive.google.com/file/d/1U1lzmPebaX2nCmFCzDBtlNtkOorMTkZ0/view?usp=sharing
Hey man great video, i just received my th3 but when i arm it the engines dont turn on.I did the binding in the intial set up, there a flashing light of rgb on the drone itself is that normal?
The drone comes "binded" from the factory and should work straight out the box. The "Arm" switch is the 3 position switch right above the throttle. Also, your throttle has to be at idle(fully down) in order to arm the drone.
@@OneManUnmanned oh and another question if you don't mind, for the included charger I have the one 1s battery charging which is a solid green light, are the other open spots suppose to be blinking green all the time?
Sick video, looks impressive. Do you know if the controller can work with PS4 to use as part of DRL sim? I’m learning and would like to have a controller that works with sim and this.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm not certain if it works with the PS4. It is compatible with computers though, and you can download DRL if that's the simulator that you're familiar with.
@@OneManUnmanned That’s the one I am currently learning on, its training module is good, with some frustrations. My Mac isn’t powerful enough and prefer it was through PS4. Will do some more research. Any alternative to the Tinyhawk 3?
Great video! I got my kit today, so excited to fly it, but ran into a problem. Any pointers would be appreciated. All batteries charged, can see video on goggles, can pair radio to the tinyhawk3. But it appears the throttle (left joystick vertical movement only does not engage the motors. All other joystick motors appear to engage various pairs of motors. *--Update*: Thanks for letting me ask my question. Re-pairing the controller to the drone fixed my problem... After my first flight, I now understand the need for the simulator. so that will be my next step. Thanks for letting me vent
In order to Arm the motors, the throttle(Left stick) has to be at idle(fully down). So the throttle has to be fully down then hit the Arm switch. Let me know if that helps.
@@OneManUnmanned That too is certainly possible. But at this time I do believe it was the re-pairing. Either way it is flying, and flying very well. I am at least 90% happy with my purchase. Now trying to get the controller to connect to my computer (2021 mac mini) for use with DRL. I even pulled out my good USB cables, from my Cell Phone engineering days, still no dice. so it looks like I need to buy a new ps4 controller to use with simulators. but if I am buying a new device to use simulators is there any merit in a "wireless USB simulator Dongle"? I would rather use my controller for the muscle memory.
I don’t know if a wireless USB dongle will work. Ready Set Drone has made a video on how to get your E8 radio working on a computer. I think It’s more of a driver issue causing this not to work. I’ll leave the video linked below, although it’s demonstrated on a PC not a Mac. ua-cam.com/video/MdRlBODq368/v-deo.html
What other drone can I used with the tiny hawk III controller and goggles?? I'm hoping that "Santa Claus" bring me this for Christmas :D. What would be a good 2s whoop to used whit this kit?
You can literally use any drone on the market as long as it has a D8 or D16 receiver in it. There are not too many 2S drones on the market. The one that comes to mind is the Smart16 by GEPRC, but it’s a tiny drone. There is also the TinyHawk 2 Freestyle(and its 2S powered). Something like an Emax NanoHawk X would be a good drone for this kit(its also a 1S drone).
I was never going to be able to use these goggles that come with the tiny hawk kit, I am old and need reading glasses now. I got a digiadapter and a rapid fire module today and am now flying my tinyhawk 3 using my dji v2 goggles. 🙂😄😁😀
I don’t know what to tell you…You might have to return it to the retailer. How much FPV experience do you have?? These things are very difficult to control at first. Just take a look at my 1st TinyGo video.
@@OneManUnmanned I did all the different modes. The drone fans just speed up and go crazy. I cant even increase the throttle to hover bc as soon as i do it goes flying out of control. There's really no tutorial on how to fly it. Is there even an auto mode? bc my drone just goes crazy.
@thaidenthach9806 there's no auto mode. That's why I asked about your previous FPV experience. I've done a series of videos in this drone, including how to set it up. I'll link it below. ua-cam.com/video/RCYcmegSjRI/v-deo.htmlsi=RjdGDzeOV7e2BR-P
@@OneManUnmanned I saw your video. It does not show you flying it. Just video of flight footage, but you are not actually flying it. Same with all the other videos on this drone. It feel like a scam.

Ready Set Drone made a great video showing how to bind the radio to the drone. I'll link it below. Hope it helps.

Hi. Can I run Mobula6/7 or other drones on these Tinyhawks goggle and radio? Thank you.
Yes, as long as the drone is analog and uses the D8/D16 radio protocol.
How do you charge the batterry’s without burning your house down?(with the charger that comes with the kit)
I stopped using that charger a long time ago, but did not have any issue with it other than it was slow and that it only charged 2 batteries at a time. I have this now and would recommend something similar. They even have a newer version.

@@OneManUnmanned alright thanks but k don’t have Many battery’s so don’t Realy need it yet. So how does the charger that you get with the rtf kit work? Do i just plug it in my laptop/charging brick and then just plug in the battery’s and pull it out if there full?
Yes, plug it into a computer or brick. I think the lights turn green or go out completely when fully charged. It's always a good idea to monitor the batteries when they are charging. Never charge the batteries, and leave them plugged in overnight while you sleep.
@@OneManUnmannedYess Thank you so much keep going man your doing great and I love your video’s
Very impressive throttle control!
Thank you Greg! Thanks for the support.
Hello. Thank you! I'm very new to this and I purchased the TW3 BNF, however, I have no clue how to bind the drone to the transmitter. Can you help?
Ready Set Drone made a great video on how to bind any drone to the E8 radio. I'll leave it linked below.

Can someone please tell mw how ro get into the menu interface. I had this drone a month ago but broke it so i bought a new one but now i have forgot how to go into the menu. I knew how to do it before
Left stick half way up and full left. Right stick centered, but full up.
@@OneManUnmanned okay thank you very much 🙏
My dad may have asked this, but I wanted to up the signal strength to the vtx. My problem is that at the moment I don't have a computer. Is there a way to up the signal strength without computer?
Awesome review !!!
Thank you Mauro!
Love your video. It's very helpful!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I just got the Tinyhawk 3 and for whatever reason the left stick up / down does nothing. If I give it left / right it tries to yaw on the floor. Right stick also triggers the motors. This has to be something stupid / silly that I'm missing. Any ideas? Eager to check this thing out.
That sounds weird... Are you in crash/flip(turtle) mode? This mode allows you to flip the drone over after a crash. Usually only the right sticks widths in this mode. You can also confirm that all your radio sticks work by plugging your drone into Betaflight, go to the receiver tab, and check if you see stick movements from all channels.
what you going to put that turbo in? 😁
Good eye...I have another channel dedicated to automotive content. I have an Acura that needs its turbo replaced.
I was going to ask the sane thing haha
Haha.. awesome. Yeh, I'm a diehard car enthusiasts. Automotive content is difficult in many ways to make though. The other channel is BakeryPilot. I'll document the turbo swap eventually.
@@OneManUnmanned awesome man I’ll check it out. Your videos on this channel are top notch. I’m honestly surprised you don’t have more subscribers. I have a focus st so love me some turbskies!
One Man Unmanned was just started just a few months ago, and used what I learned (good and bad)from my automotive channel to help make this one better. It's still a work in progress. My wife owned a Fiesta ST and now has a Gti. Stock vs stock, the Fiesta was a more fun/engaging car.
I am a total newbie to the drone hobby and thanks to your reviews I bought the Tinyhawk 3 kit. The drone comes with the VTX set to 25mW. I noticed that you and most reviewers fly at 200mW. I tried changing the VTX from 25 to 200 in the monitor menu. After saving the change on the monitor menu, the VTX was still at 25mW. How exactly can I get this done? Do I use Betaflight or are there other steps required when using the monitor menu?
I think some VTX comes locked from the factory(mine did not). To unlock it, you press the button on the VTX while powering up the drone.
that was so smooth. i like how you hold the height. i cant seam to hold the height. yes i am new to this type of drone. i make small throttle but i cant keep it at one height.
Thank you. Yes, throttle management is difficult, but extremely crucial in FPV flying. I still struggle with that aspect of FPV flying as well. It will get better with time and practice.
Subbed
Great review one of the best
Thanks..I appreciate the support!
I'm sorry if you answered this
You mentioned a fpv simulator? Can u give me info on it?
Any simulator works…DRL, Velocidrone, LiftOff, and Uncrashed are all good options.
I'm getting discouraged. I bought a Bugs 16 from Banggood, did all prep, hit auto takeoff, it went up 9', turned over and came down...not even 2 seconds and it no longer broadcasts wifi. I just got my Tinyhawk 3. Charged everything, goggles connect, switch into ARM position, nothing happens. The lights on the drone simply blink fast and that's it. Changing batteries did zero. What did I do wrong?
Hmm..flashing lights could mean anything. The throttle has to be at idle(all the way down) in order to arm. Try that and see if it works.
@@OneManUnmanned $#!#^^#@!!!! I mean, yes, I believe you spotted the problem. Wow man. Ive got a looong way to go
Lol..You're good. I'm glad I could help, and maybe this comment will help future pilots as well. Enjoy!
@@OneManUnmanned I know I keep bugging you...please forgive me...is it normal that drones want to drift backwards? Is it always a constant battle to keep it level?
Yes, it's always a battle to keep it level. The pilot is practically doing everything. That's why is so amazing to see all these well flown fpv videos on UA-cam. Anything can make a drone drift, even a ceiling fan inside a house. Having said that, there are trim buttons on your remote to help with drift, but I would not recommend it as it's not normal practice to use trim in FPV. Last option would be to calibrate your gyro in the drone or the gimbals in your radio. Those rarely need to be done in an RTF kit though. I think with time, you'll get better on the sticks and not even notice "drone drift".
sorry for asking how do i make my drone fly level in angle mode
I don't know what you mean. In Angle mode the drone should be level once you release the controls. As far as maintaining altitude, you have to use the throttle to keep the drone in the same place.
@@OneManUnmanned the drone will shift too the left and slightly backwards. I updated it with betaflight and used the trim afterwards but it's not perfect albeit alot better. any clue?
These drones don't typically need to be adjusted in BetaFlight. Trims are not normally used in FPV drones. I would suggest you put the trims back to center then recalibrate your gyroscope/accelerometer in Betaflight. The drone needs to be in a flat/level surface when doing the recalibration.
@@OneManUnmanned okay how do I reset my gyro and
it's hard too belive you bought a perfect drone that flies dead level when mine drifts
What's the time limit on that battery. Looks like it drains so fast.
The battery normally last between 4-5 minutes. That's pretty standard for an FPV drone.
@@OneManUnmanned okay thanks. I'm looking to buy a RTF drone soon. But trying to find a cheap price on AliExpress. x.x
Should I get this as my first drone i have little flying experience
Yes, It’s one of the best drones to start in FPV. Everything you’ll need to start flying, is included in the kit. I would suggest you by additional batteries. You could also piece together a kit if you do some research, and know what you want.
@@OneManUnmanned thanks
Thanks. Your video was REALLY excellent, a good review. But this and every other review I have seen of this drone shows such bad flickering of the video that it's a total deal-breaker. The video feed looks like a lightning storm. I don't know how you could fly through any gaps when the video is breaking up at least once per second.
I'd buy this in a minute if it had a decent video feed.
Do all analog drones have this?
Guess I'm spoiled with the DJI Avata - does not have this problem at all.
This is Totally normal in an Analog drone. It’s the main reason why digital is so expensive. The image on a digital drone is soo much cleaner, with less interference.
Awesome flight footage, what are the PID settings that you used? new sub here
Thanks for the Sub... Since I do publish reviews on these drones, I keep the factory settings to get an objective feeling of the drones. So, factory tune, and it flies well on it.
Quality video brother, nice and smooth flying as well. Making me consider getting a micro drone so I can fly around the house when its raining outside. Subbed up!!! Look forward to more of your content as your channel continues to grow 😎💪.
Thanks, It's a pretty fun drone to fly indoors. I appreciate the support, boss.
@@OneManUnmanned Of course man, happy flying. Next time I hope to see some sick acro tricks...😁✌🏾
Thanks for the video. Took mine for the first flights today. Lots of hovering. Trim seems weird like it wants to pull to the right. Not such a big deal when headed away but returning is really challenging. Is there a way to calibrate the controller to the drone?
Thank you James...I think you can trim the drift out using the trim buttons. As far as calibrating the sticks, you have to press the L3 button(Left trim-left button) while powering on the radio. The power light will flash fast, then flash slowly. Once the light is flashing slowly, then you can calibrate the sticks(all gimbals) by moving them in their full travel each direction. Once you have moved the sticks in all full directions, then you press the L3 button again. The radio should reset and reboot. I'll live a link to the E8 manual for better clarity and instructions:

saw the mishimoto parts. Do you have a Subaru?
No, but I wish I did though. It's for my Acura/Honda.
Hey man great video, i just received my th3 but when i arm it the engines dont turn on.I did the binding in the intial set up, there a flashing light of rgb on the drone itself is that normal?
The drone comes "binded" from the factory and should work straight out the box. The "Arm" switch is the 3 position switch right above the throttle. Also, your throttle has to be at idle(fully down) in order to arm the drone.
@@OneManUnmanned you are the man, i didnt have the throttle fully down, thank you!
Not a problem.. Glad I could help. Enjoy the drone and FPV.
@@OneManUnmanned oh and another question if you don't mind, for the included charger I have the one 1s battery charging which is a solid green light, are the other open spots suppose to be blinking green all the time?
Yes, This is normal. The other ports that’s not being used will flash.
Sick video, looks impressive. Do you know if the controller can work with PS4 to use as part of DRL sim? I’m learning and would like to have a controller that works with sim and this.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm not certain if it works with the PS4. It is compatible with computers though, and you can download DRL if that's the simulator that you're familiar with.
@@OneManUnmanned That’s the one I am currently learning on, its training module is good, with some frustrations. My Mac isn’t powerful enough and prefer it was through PS4. Will do some more research. Any alternative to the Tinyhawk 3?
There's not too many whoops in this space of FPV, but the Metor 65 and Meteor 75 are good, as well as the Mobula6 and Mobula7.
The TinyGo4K is a good drone, but is only sold as an RTF kit.
@@OneManUnmanned maybe be best to get an RTF first to learn on. Thanks 🍻
Great video! I got my kit today, so excited to fly it, but ran into a problem. Any pointers would be appreciated. All batteries charged, can see video on goggles, can pair radio to the tinyhawk3. But it appears the throttle (left joystick vertical movement only does not engage the motors. All other joystick motors appear to engage various pairs of motors. *--Update*: Thanks for letting me ask my question. Re-pairing the controller to the drone fixed my problem... After my first flight, I now understand the need for the simulator. so that will be my next step. Thanks for letting me vent
In order to Arm the motors, the throttle(Left stick) has to be at idle(fully down). So the throttle has to be fully down then hit the Arm switch. Let me know if that helps.
@@OneManUnmanned That too is certainly possible. But at this time I do believe it was the re-pairing. Either way it is flying, and flying very well. I am at least 90% happy with my purchase. Now trying to get the controller to connect to my computer (2021 mac mini) for use with DRL. I even pulled out my good USB cables, from my Cell Phone engineering days, still no dice. so it looks like I need to buy a new ps4 controller to use with simulators. but if I am buying a new device to use simulators is there any merit in a "wireless USB simulator Dongle"? I would rather use my controller for the muscle memory.
I don’t know if a wireless USB dongle will work.
Ready Set Drone has made a video on how to get your E8 radio working on a computer. I think It’s more of a driver issue causing this not to work. I’ll leave the video linked below, although it’s demonstrated on a PC not a Mac.

What other drone can I used with the tiny hawk III controller and goggles?? I'm hoping that "Santa Claus" bring me this for Christmas :D. What would be a good 2s whoop to used whit this kit?
You can literally use any drone on the market as long as it has a D8 or D16 receiver in it. There are not too many 2S drones on the market. The one that comes to mind is the Smart16 by GEPRC, but it’s a tiny drone. There is also the TinyHawk 2 Freestyle(and its 2S powered). Something like an Emax NanoHawk X would be a good drone for this kit(its also a 1S drone).
I was never going to be able to use these goggles that come with the tiny hawk kit, I am old and need reading glasses now. I got a digiadapter and a rapid fire module today and am now flying my tinyhawk 3 using my dji v2 goggles. 🙂😄😁😀
Haha..smart man. That's a killer combo. Wish I could afford the RapidFire.
On all the modes. My drone just goes crazy. I still cannot fly thins drone amd think its a scam. Sh*t was $300.
I don’t know what to tell you…You might have to return it to the retailer. How much FPV experience do you have?? These things are very difficult to control at first. Just take a look at my 1st TinyGo video.
@@OneManUnmanned I did all the different modes. The drone fans just speed up and go crazy. I cant even increase the throttle to hover bc as soon as i do it goes flying out of control. There's really no tutorial on how to fly it. Is there even an auto mode? bc my drone just goes crazy.
@thaidenthach9806 there's no auto mode. That's why I asked about your previous FPV experience. I've done a series of videos in this drone, including how to set it up. I'll link it below.

@@OneManUnmanned I saw your video. It does not show you flying it. Just video of flight footage, but you are not actually flying it. Same with all the other videos on this drone. It feel like a scam.

Nice video.., don’t buy emax made to break crap
Alot of people buy them and have good experiences.
Obsolescence
Am I the only one that thinks the plastic cover on the drone makes it look like a cheap toy?
I think most drones look this way.
@@OneManUnmanned well most FPV drones have that carbon fibre look that make them look more “professional”
Oh..I see what you mean now. Yes, it's a beginner's drone, and most of them are made of plastic to be more affordable and durable.
