- Perfect windless morning and a sketchy practice flight. I've flown various RC over the years but this is my first FPV quad. The Baby Ape 2 has been very impressive so far. As a beginner I found the stock camera FOV too narrow and swapped it out for a Caddx Ratel 2. I also installed a Foxeer Lollipop 4 which massively improved the range. Unfortunately this was destroyed while having a disagreement with a pine tree and was not installed on this flight. New lollipop inbound.

Dogcom 4s 650 mah
Caddx Ratel 2 Starlight
The caddx ratel looks so much better in your cliff diving video. Def grabbing a few and replacing some other cameras in my quads
I used Topaz video ai to clean that vid up for youtube. The ratel is a great camera, highly recommended. I also use the Foxeer t-rex, also very good. The ratel has a wider angle lens than the t-rex. The wider angle is maybe better for freestyle where as the t-rex is a great all rounder.
is the receiver and vtx linear or RHCP? looking to upgrade
Thank you
@jacobm6725 Receiver and vtx are rhcp. The drone came with a linear. I swapped it for a foxeer lollipop. Greatly improved the range.
@@FPV_sk8 ty for the response. So if i swap to a RHCP on the drone, id have to get the same polarization for my controller as well right? otherwise there'd be signal loss
@jacobm6725 Rhcp is only for the vtx and goggles. The controller and receiver should be linear. Do you have ELRS?
@@FPV_sk8 I have ELRS. I lost my VTX antenna on my stock babyape 2 and was just trying to find out which polarization it was so i could replace it. Very new to the hobby if you couldnt tell.
@@jacobm6725 No worries. Important, never run the vtx without an antenna. It will fry the vtx.
Hi, what do you think about this drone? Im beginner and im think about this one or baby ape pro v2. What you can advise?
It's a great beginner freestyle drone. Nothing has broken on mine after many crashes. I have the 4s version and get about 5 mins of freestyle or up to 7 mins cruising on 650mah. I'm still on the original props too. They're strong! I upgraded the vtx antenna and camera and get about 1km of range if I don't fly behind anything.
This drone has more power than the pro version.
@@FPV_sk8 Thanks! Now I need to decide what can I do, I cant pay for customs because I have problems with my card, so I need to order this drone and it must be under 150 euro. From Where official darwinfpv ships, becauseif its only from Us, i cant order from them cause of customs? or i have to order it only from aliexpress.
@@Levochka8 Got mine from Banggood. Really fast shipping.
@@FPV_sk8 did you pay for customs or smth
How is the experience with the quad?
It's good! Great quality for the price. Flies well. Great for getting started in freestyle before moving up to a 5". No complaints.
