Hi! What rates do you use? Your ability to fly around your house and through gaps in acro mode is crazy to me. Kinda makes me think i have everything of mine setup wrong lol. Can you do a stick overlay? or use gopro to video your hands and controller while flying around the inside of the house? Thanks!
@@JP-qq2kn My rates are pretty high Pitch and roll 1.2 super .75, yaw 1.3 and .80. I have done a stick cam here ua-cam.com/video/uHsLaxX1juo/v-deo.html
Pretty impressive little camera, Nick! Looks to be a step in the right direction! 😃 I was really impressed by the Caddx Baby Turtle, but this one seems even better! 😃 Great review!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
HD with only a 9 gram hit. That’s crazy! I skimmed through your thorough review. I’ll come back when I have time but I’m sold for now! Thanks as always for a great review.
Awsome Review! HD footage looks good in day and night. Im also interested in the new motors , i think its a good upgrade/replacement for crappy Old 802 happymodel motors.
The actual FPV DVR feed is so much higher quality than normal FPV cameras. Kebab has pointed this out, and I'm really starting to notice it, that these HD split cameras have way better FPV than others.
I agree, they look very 'real/cinematic', like the HD footage. The trade-off is (much) less sharpness and dynamic range compared to the best FPV cams out there
It flies reasonably for how much extra weight has been added surprisingly. I love my Mobula6 for the performance and don’t really need HD footage of the inside of my house, but it looks like a good candidate for a toothpick frame swap with some 55-65mm props for better outdoor fun. Great review!
Awww, you beat me to it!! I am waiting on my nano cams split 3 but I didn't know they have a Nano Split 3 lite....DARN!! But good for you Nick! You are becoming a true pioneer as well as a bad to the bone pilot, in this great hobby. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Great review Nick. Can't wait til we can order this camera on its own. Hey, so I "discovered" something about repairing whoop frames. I know you like using Welder, and i've used it with success and like it. I kept on breaking the fix I made to a Shutterbug85 build I did so decided to try something different. I did a Kickstarter thing for a company called Braeön (now called Forj) back in 2017. Its a moldable thermoplastic resin impregnated tape. You just heat it up with a hot air gun, hot water, lighter, hairdryer, etc. Its crazy strong, has some fibers in it that make it almost unbreakable (1000lbs tensile strength). I have a whole bunch of it and decided to try in to fix a whoop frame.....and I must say, that it is probably the best whoop repair i've ever done. Barely had to use any of it and it took about 2 minutes to fix it and have it ready to fly again. I don't see that repair breaking anytime soon. I've got 6 rolls of it. They sell it on Amazon for $20 a roll. You want me to send you some to try out? I'm thinking it can be used for all kinds of stuff in our hobby now that I finally tried it for fixing a whoop. Fixing/making canopies, securing motor wires, molding sma antenna mounts...all kind of stuff. Probably even fix snapped carbon arms/frames. Let me know. This is Luis Hurtado, just changed my UA-cam name the other day, finally.
@@NickBurnsFPV Yup, that's the stuff. It kind of reminds me of that plastic strapping they use for shipping stuff or wrapping bundles of newspapers together, but thinner. I can send you a roll if you'd like.
Thanks for the review Nick! It looks fairly reasonable, I've switched solely to crossfire now so unfortunately I cant really run 65mm builds without performance sacrifices. In saying that the Mob 6 on a mob 7 frame with crossfire is an awesome experience! Might have to get one of these to see how it goes too :P
Im a bit behind on this quad but after watching your video many times i finally ordered the Mob6 HD. The split will be great for sharing flight footage. I used your affiliate link. Thanks for the excellent reviews Nick. 👍👍
Damn Nick yer amazing. Not only unconscious pilot but you can give more information in a single review without any cheerleading and even though it's sometimes a bit lengthy I can never stop viewing until the end for fear that I will miss something important. Great job as always, thanks.
@@NickBurnsFPV I already have a 65mm whoop with 802s and wanted a mob6 as a spare, but rethinking it and maybe wanting something small for HD footage. Although I wonder if sticking that runcam lite on my old Mob7 would be better.
First! Not me you! Happy to see happy model trusting Nick with the premier! This is fantastic but I have to confess, I was so amped to get my Mobula 6 and I hardly flew it... Guess we had a lot of good weather so my bigger birds got more air time. No impulse buying just yet but thank you for the great review Nick! 👍🏻
Sure, not every quad do we need or want. What did you think of the Runcam split 3 lite? I am curious how much that will cost when it becomes available. I don't think HappyModel chose me for the premier, global shipping has gone wonky. I have packages sent before this but still in Hong Kong. I am told the commercial flights either aren't happening all that much or the cargo space has been an issue.
Nick Burns I think the Mobula 6 camera is great! I was surprised how clear the picture is. I guess if it was before winter I would have ordered this one. I have to admit the recorded HD footage is as important as the FPV camera for me. This would be my kind of whoop. I used to fly cause I like flying but since the HD revolution, I like flying to make nice videos 🤷🏻♂️
Great review...sold!! That is the best split cam FPV I have seen. I will order one now to try...and adopt on all my other POOR FPV feed split systems. Time to change them all out. Thanks for sharing as always.
some have spoken ill of happy model products, But the more I see them ( and I have the Larva HD ) and fly them, they seem to be a pretty good product this Mobula 6 looks good as well Thanks, Nick for all you do
That's a tough choice, amazing flight capability with the regular Mobula 6 versus HD footage and reduced flight capability with the Mobula 6 HD... I do know I want HD to record flying through the next set of LED gates I'm intending to make, but I need to find 2 meter LED strings in 5 different, specific colours (red, yellow, blue, pink, orange)
Correction, you only need blue LED strings :). I would get this then transfer to a 75mm frame. I expect it to handle much better on 40mm props, and have longer flight times, just like the mobula 6 to mobula 7 1s did.
@Nick Burns Won't work with just blue, need all 5 colours, it's one of those ideas that if I can get it right, the reactions will be "Awesome! Why didn't I think of that? I wanna make some now!" so the first footage I put out has to be as perfect as possible :) (ordering LED strings tonight) That's a great idea on upsizing the frame+props for longer+better flight.
I’m really digging this guy I think it would suit my flying speed. It looked slower and not quite as stable for your speed of flight but that might suit me with the bonus of HD footage.
@@NickBurnsFPV Great and Thank you very much! I asked a couple of the other guys this and I'm wondering why pilots are using the Mobula 7 V2 frame, as opposed to the V3? I personally always liked the V3 the best. And I see a lot of guys who have done this frame swap, they didn't increase the mAh's?? I would think with the V2 or V3, you would put on a 450, 520 or 650mah....? I use the GNB 650's and 520's the most. Again, as always, I thank you for your great wisdom!!!
*Awesome!* Kinda crazy they went for a bigger lens than on the Split 3 Nano Whoop Edition, though.. I wonder how the weight compares? The whoop Split also had a good FPV feed (compared to the other Splits). It's still my favorite up to now :) One thing I really like camera control for is to get the full 16x9 FOV (my goggles support widescreen). If you don't have the control board, hooking up UART control also does the trick. Thanks, Nick!
Thank you. Do you mean smaller than 65mm drones? I think the smallest I have on the channel is 49mm but that was almost 2 years go. Is there something your looking at?
So, a question to all you folks: What do you want to do with this type of quad? Yeah, it records HD, but you can't really freestyle or race with it. Is it to record smoov HD footage for doing videos? What kinds of videos? You all know 65mm is my jam, but having a hard time finding what application it's good for.
I was about to buy the Mobula 6 but then I wanted to see the difference between the 6 and 7 and found out there's an HD version of the 6 (I need to catch up), more research is needed but so far I might buy it :)
Thanks for the awesome reviews, as usual! And awesome flying. Now that this little guy will become available soon; I've been on the hunt for a fine HD cine whoop for my home/indoor flying (HD capable) in tight places. What's your experience with flight time/quality when comparing this quad with the Cineeye HD from GEPRC and the BetaFpv 65x HD? Which of these would you recommend? Or should I steer away from all three 😁
Its hard to compare 1s to 2s or more. I think for cinewhooping this is better as the image is better and fpv in the goggles is far superior to any other HD/FPV cam.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks Nick. I was lucky enough to catch one on Amazon. It will be here tomorrow!!! Looking forward to it!! Hey Nick, have you looked at the LDARC/KingKong ET125 4s? Just curious...
This is what I have been waiting for but will reserve judgment until I can view it on a larger screen. Looks nice on my phone screen. *you did a shout out to MOM*
Nick Burns oh maybe that is not a saying in USA , over here in NZ if you mention somebody you know on TV , radio, video , news paper etc we call it a shout out.
i got the betafpv 65HD and the mobula solves all the prob with the beta, like adjustable canopy, 1S, more batts with package.... oh and its cheaper and cam looks great
It’s likely the perfect mix. Open floor plan, wood construction, rapidfire and good spot to fly from. If I sit I. The basement I can barely fly the main floor
How much does the Runcam Split Lite weigh on it's own? What do you think about running 65mm props with 1102 13500 motors and 1s 450mah or 3" with 1103 11000 motors and 1s 520/650mah. Would be cool to have a 1s HD toothpick.
I think runcam has better fpv view in these slit cameras whereas caddx had better hd result in my opinion, but I think that the better fpv view is worth the slight downgrade in hd.
You can really feel the weight of the camera on the Mobula6 HD. I got the the regular version after the HD and while the HD Camera is nice, the regular Mob6 is more fun to fly. IMO.
Pretty much on all "HD" micros we have to give up performance to get the HD recording which the components have more weight than its non HD counter parts.
Looking forward to the day that the HD footage is the FPV footage. I think it's coming sooner rather than later. Caddx already has an HD nano FPV camera. True HD whoop not far behind? Nice flying as usual, Nick.
I hope your right, but I also think it might be a year if it gets there. The nano camera is a move in the right direction, but the air unit portion likely weighs as much as this entire quad or more. But we can dream, right?
Nick, Great video ! Thank you for sharing. Would you still recommend the Mobula 6 HD 65mm Micro Whoop as a good first FPV ? Do you recommend the Frsky D8 Receiver, DSM2/DSMX Receiver, or Flysky Receiver? I have a Jumper T-Lite JP4IN1 Multi-protocol OpenTX Transmitter on order. Thank you !
I don't tend to reccomend quads that record hd as a first or really starter quads. The hd camera and its recording board isn't as durable as the non hd recording counter part. They also can have additional issues we don't see in the non HD recording version.
Gday Nick, its very amazing that this little guy can carry so much more weight, your footage looks very awsome, the hd lite works great, how does it fly compared to the standard mobula 6, does it feel heavy? try a bit of eletrical tape place it on the underside of the sd card itself leave a bit to stick to the micro stack or frame so if it ejects you wont loose it, great review as always mate.👍🛸
Man! How do you make it all the way through your house without failsafing? I get 45ft and drop. I've tried everything, fine tuning, differnt radios, new fc, modded antenna, Redpine, d8, d16 just get trash range. Also putting this HD version into the mob7 frame and it's amazing to fly.
So is the vtx and the radio receiver the same as in the M6? Because i got the M6 a while now, im pretty impressed with the vtx and radio range on that and if it is the same on the M6 HD ill buy one. Edit: I am using frsky, so the D8 receiver in this case
Looks like they just used the larva x canopy again, or is it any different? This is an interesting setup, but I think 75mm frame with 40mm props would carry the weight better. Would be good if small size is somebody's top priority though.
Hi Nick, do you know, if the HD version is also able to be flashed with JESC? Cause eveybody talks about the standard Mobula6 when it comes to flash it with JESC.
The HD footage looks great, but the FPV Footage is more impressive to me! That Runcam Split 3 is a beast. Im just worried about longevity with these small HD Whoops, they seem to struggle with the added weight which will probably stress out the Electronics more compared to the Mobula 6 for example. Would be really bummed about a dead ESC after only a couple of flights.
Hi Nick! Whould you reccomend the mobula 6hd + beta lite radio 2 + beta vr01? Or matbe tinyhawk 2 freestyle rtf kit/ betafpv starter,advanced kit 2? Or maybe another idea? I have never flown fpv it will be my first quad
I have been getting reports of quality control issue with the beta lite 2 radio. The emax kit using the joystick like controls are okay, but the radio lacks some stick resolution, making fine control difficult. At this time is really difficult to recommend an RTF kit.
@@NickBurnsFPV ohhh that should be ur next video see how much flight time u can squeeze out of it maybe jesc first then with rpm filtering, see if you can get it past the 3 minute mark that would be awesome i think for making better videos
Nick, thanks for the review! I'm particularly interested in these new EX0802 motors. Banggood says they are lighter, just 1.6g, I wonder how that design would compare to the previous 0802 19000kv design when it comes to power and efficiency. Have you tried these motors in a standard 20g whoop build?
my mobula 6 board dies when it is flexed during flying? Is this a normal issue. I'm contemplating replacing it with the HD Mobula 6. Is there an alternative mobula HD or is my all in one just one crash to many?
Nick...do you think throwing 4 bladed props on would improve performance ( and I assume hurt flight time)? Thoughts on why they went with the 19k vice maybe the 25k of the Mob6 Race version given that substantial increase in weight (with batteries 26g up to 36g+)?
I do think the performance would improve with quad blades and yes hurt flight time. I think for manufacturers they try to have "different" products from their competitors but also understand a large part of the market wants max flight time. I would expect many wouldn't buy if the flight time is less than 2mins which is likely would with 25000kv motors.
Nick Burns ...yeah tracking on all...I’m definitely in the flight time camp as I’m mostly a park / proximity / cruiser type!...So 3+ mins is my expectation for fun...even building some frankenwhoops a la the Shutterbug85 that can squeeze out 5+ on 450mah HV flats! Also you should build PMBs Meemo...I used the guts from a MOB6...motors he suggested..and Avan 4 bladed and it is an amazing flyer and super efficient on 1s. BTW I’m still tinkering with funny logos for you...I’ll send one along when I’m satisfied with them...but they are centered on the funny stuff you say sometimes...like “wang it hard”...they’d be funny on a t-shirt or hat!
Hi Nick, ive bought one from banggood and the stuff to upgrade it to the 75mm frame. but i keep running in to some Gyro issues when i arm the quad, the horizon starts dropping imediatly till about -10 degrees while it is sitting on the ground, level. its like you pull back on the stick but i did not even take off. it doesnt drift further than 10 degrees, it just drops slowely (1deg/s) and then sits there. the sticks are nice and level on the 1500 mark any ideas?
I presume we are flying either angle or horizon mode, and likely checking while plugged into betaflight? I would start with calibrating on a nice flat surface, super level....checked with a level. Its not unusual to get some gyro drift over time, especially if we jolt the board.
do you think is this better than mobuls 6? I am getting into fpv buying my first drone, and i was about to buy mobula 6 or tinyhawk 2. Do you think HD is worth for a newbe?
Better only in the sense the footage we get is better. The performance isn't nearly as good as the original mob6. The extra weight of hd has an impact.
Can we see how this thing is wired? When i built mine with the mob6 board...i had to use a 5v regulator soldered to the battery to feed the hd board or it would turn off. Only difference i see in the camera is the camera housing. Nice review Nick! I couldn't wait for the market, i had to build mine.
Hi Nick Great video and review of the Mobula 6 HD, I really like the video of the turtle and I don't believe how good it flow after putting in all that weight of the turtle in it. I do have a couple of micros that I would like to put the turtle into. Thanks again for the information.
Hi Nick, thanks for your review. I got mine recently and still consider myself new to the fpv world, I still have few 1s batteries (450mah) from my tiny hawk s. Is it dangerous if I try them on my mobula 6hd? Thanks in advance.
I also hate that the board resets at 3 volts. I was hoping they would fix that. It's a pain in the ass having to go through all those steps again! My mobula 6 I stop at 3.2 just to be safe. I hate having to set up! Thanks for that info.
I have tested several of my boards, all do it, but I have been told by commenters here, not all boards do it. I don't know the difference or they did fix later versions.
Loses quad settings and bind when dropping below 3 volts?? I never try to fly under 3, but yikes! Is that happen on other quads? I'm tempted to buy this, looks great! thanks!
At this time to my knowledge that behavior is limited to this board and I have been told not all of them do it. I have tested 2 of mine and both do it. I should have clarified, its not flying below 3v but landing/disarming and disconnecting power below 3volts.
Just bought this whoop and been going through all your videos. (Thanks for all the info it helps a lot!) Had around 20 flights straight out of the box (BF 3.5.X) were 3 min ish and no vibration when recovering a dive. But after I updated to BF 4.2.5 I only got a little more then 2 min flying and those vibrations. I guess some settings are not tuned well in BF since all got reset and I forgot to screenshot the old settings first. I’m totally new so do you maybe have some tips on fixing this or is that normal with 4.2.5?
Out of the box it has the pids tuned, when flashing we only get the betaflight defaults, which work for a good many 5inch quads, but not for micros. The big challenge in this hobby is learn to pid tune. Being your getting started, I would go to the happymodel.cn website and download the hex file for betaflight 3.5.7 for this board. Then we need the cli dump to past into the betaflight cli, which I can get you. Email me at nickburnsrc@gmail.com when your ready for that.
wait a sec Nick, didn't BetaFPV bring out a 65 x HD first, before HappyModel? I bet BetaFPV & HappyModel are in the same building in Shenzhen, producing in the same factory ; ) Great review & vid quality. Stay safe & take care!
hi Nick, I’m having problems flashing Betaflight firmware back to the stock one Betaflight_3.5.7_CRAZYBEEF4FR, the flashfirmware button doesn’t work even though it’s colored yellow, any suggestions??
its likely the drivers on the computers, this is normally the issue. Search for impulserc driver fixer, run that application, when its done, unplug usb and re plug usb, then try to flash again.
thanks!, but it didn’t work, I don’t think that is the issue because I’m able to change from all the firmware’s that are available online from betaflight, it just won’t work on the stock firmware loaded locally, the flash firmware button doesn’t do anything when clicked, even though it’s colored yellow
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks Nick, I'm totally blown away by the quality of both feeds Thanks for sharing, this is a "getter" in my book 🥰👌 will order next payday, using your link
Hey Nick can we talk you in to doing a build for us kinda like sweeping a Woop drone in to a tooth pick build desoldering the jst connectors for motors and hooking ever thang else up say take a Woop drone 65 mm turn it into a 115 mm tooth pick ?
Did you notice lag/delay on the fpv feed? It was the first thing that caught my attention (compared to say mobula7) Noticeable without sd card recording also.
I did not, but I have seen where the health and speed of the sd card can play a role in the feel of latency. Some I have even seen where the goggle image will slightly freeze. I would try a different and high speed card if I felt the latency.
How would you say this compares to the Mobula 7? I have the Mobula 6 and love it but I considering getting a 6 hd or 7 hd partly as a backup for when I break what I have now and for HD.
The mobula 7 is 2s and thus more powerful and faster. The mobula 7 HD has been problematic for some. If you get it, I think its more safe to run it on 2s as well. Although it stated as 2-3s.
hi Nick.. i have a question maybe you can help me about my Mobula6HD. I just notice that my recorded file from sd card on mobula6 is year 2015..can you help me where i can setup the date of record? thankyou
How do you record in HD like that ? You have another cam ? I'm very surprise ! I mean with your DVR recorder into your google it looks more like at @6:19 ... please tell me your witch craft! Great video review :-) I bought it thanks to you! ;)
Is has a recording on the quad. We insert an sd card into the quad, the hd camera records automatically when its powered on and the sd card is inserted.
Nick Burns ooh! Thanks I didn't notice it at first! It's well hidden and none of the review I saw showed it ! I will try it ! Thanks a lot! ... just have to wait to receive my flysky tx since I order a flash sell... and didn't notice it was a flysky 😭
Nick, that below 3 volt "bug" is it that even on say a punch out if you go below you lose your whole configuration? I haven't encountered that before on any quad but is that endemic to this quad because of FC or RunCan HD board?
I don't think it resets on a punchout below 3v, but if we land and the battery doesn't recover above 3v before we unplug the battery. It is specific to this board, and I have been told it doesn't happen on all of them, but I tested 2 of mine and both did it.
Nick Burns - I haven’t encountered that on my Mobula 6 but then I try to avoid going below 3.2 volts through normal use anyway. It’s such an odd “bug” or quirk to see these days.
Nick Burns - Yes, it does get hotter that just about any FC that I have ever had, but I can’t imagine why that would cause that issue, but your right it is an issue to some degree, excuse the unintended pun. Maybe, that added heat affects the onboard NVRAM memory? I have had other FCs reset due to low voltage, such as the Tiny Hawk did, but that was fixed by adding a small 20uf cap, but it didn’t lose it’s settings. Perhaps this FC combo lacks the filtration needed as some capacitors may have been removed for space limitations which creates the right environment for this bug to happen? Just spitballing here, but maybe the reasons some boards are affected by this bug is due to the variances in capacitors from unit to unit. In other words, all electrical components have a tolerance that they vary from and this is why high tolerance components cost much more as they are more accurate to their specifications. However, most components of each type, are built the same, but due to variations in the manufacturing process, some will come out better when tested, while some will fail or preform poorly when tested. The top performers will be your most expensive and/or certified components, but I digress. Getting back to this issue, that may be why some boards have this issue while others don’t, which is due to subtle variations in the component’s quality? I mean, it could be just some lower quality components that causes this to happen and I was using the capacitor as an example, but who knows what it could be? I should note that I add a 220uf cap (10volt) to all my whoops and that could be why mine isn’t seeing this issue, but again I don’t drop my batt voltage that far either. I just have the regular Mobula 6 as well so not comparing the same quads.
I love this bird! My lens popped out once, and I was able to reseat it and had a clean video feed. Happened again and no matter what I try its still blurry. Any help is welcome!!?
Tuning the fpv camera picture can be a challenge. If nothing is permanently damaged we should be able to look in the goggles and rotate the lens to tune in a clear image.
What do you think? Do you agree the Runcam Split 3 Lite is an improvement?
HappyModel has stated this is a new board that should not reset below 3v. Sorry for the inaccuracy. 🤦♂️

Its pretty long, I think a good many likely only want or need to skim through. :)
Awsome Review! HD footage looks good in day and night. Im also interested in the new motors , i think its a good upgrade/replacement for crappy Old 802 happymodel motors.
The best review I found, thank you!
Wow 🤩....another one on my wish list. Thanks for a comprehensive review.
Good to know you are using acro indoors. HD footage looks great. FPV looks good too.
The actual FPV DVR feed is so much higher quality than normal FPV cameras. Kebab has pointed this out, and I'm really starting to notice it, that these HD split cameras have way better FPV than others.
I agree, they look very 'real/cinematic', like the HD footage. The trade-off is (much) less sharpness and dynamic range compared to the best FPV cams out there
I’m thoroughly impressed with the FPV view on this. That was always the deal breaker for me with the split cams.
yea, they haven't been good, this one is much improved imho.
fpv stands for first person view so you are saying first person view view lol
It flies reasonably for how much extra weight has been added surprisingly. I love my Mobula6 for the performance and don’t really need HD footage of the inside of my house, but it looks like a good candidate for a toothpick frame swap with some 55-65mm props for better outdoor fun. Great review!
yes, I think runcam is going to need to ramp up production. I hope they are ready :)
Toothpick + runcam split3 nano whoop is going to be awesome!
lol, yes it will.
Awww, you beat me to it!! I am waiting on my nano cams split 3 but I didn't know they have a Nano Split 3 lite....DARN!! But good for you Nick! You are becoming a true pioneer as well as a bad to the bone pilot, in this great hobby. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Great review Nick. Can't wait til we can order this camera on its own. Hey, so I "discovered" something about repairing whoop frames. I know you like using Welder, and i've used it with success and like it. I kept on breaking the fix I made to a Shutterbug85 build I did so decided to try something different.

I have a whole bunch of it and decided to try in to fix a whoop frame.....and I must say, that it is probably the best whoop repair i've ever done. Barely had to use any of it and it took about 2 minutes to fix it and have it ready to fly again. I don't see that repair breaking anytime soon. I've got 6 rolls of it. They sell it on Amazon for $20 a roll. You want me to send you some to try out? I'm thinking it can be used for all kinds of stuff in our hobby now that I finally tried it for fixing a whoop. Fixing/making canopies, securing motor wires, molding sma antenna mounts...all kind of stuff. Probably even fix snapped carbon arms/frames. Let me know. This is Luis Hurtado, just changed my UA-cam name the other day, finally.
Great tip. I looked it up on amazon. Its called Forj Thermoplastic Tape? I see it selling for $18.76
@@NickBurnsFPV Yup, that's the stuff. It kind of reminds me of that plastic strapping they use for shipping stuff or wrapping bundles of newspapers together, but thinner. I can send you a roll if you'd like.
Thanks for the review Nick! It looks fairly reasonable, I've switched solely to crossfire now so unfortunately I cant really run 65mm builds without performance sacrifices. In saying that the Mob 6 on a mob 7 frame with crossfire is an awesome experience! Might have to get one of these to see how it goes too :P
Yes, that slight increase in prop size makes a big performance difference.
Im a bit behind on this quad but after watching your video many times i finally ordered the Mob6 HD. The split will be great for sharing flight footage. I used your affiliate link. Thanks for the excellent reviews Nick. 👍👍
Thank you. Put a bit of tape over the sd card to keep it from popping out on impact, or less than smooth landings. Loosing footage can be very sad.
Yep. I already had that in mind after watching your videos. 👍
Damn Nick yer amazing. Not only unconscious pilot but you can give more information in a single review without any cheerleading and even though it's sometimes a bit lengthy I can never stop viewing until the end for fear that I will miss something important. Great job as always, thanks.
thank you.
Nice footage and decent flight time. I had canceled my bangood order for a normal Mob6 the 2 weeks ago when I saw an HD version was coming.
So HD video over "racing/acro" performance?
@@NickBurnsFPV I already have a 65mm whoop with 802s and wanted a mob6 as a spare, but rethinking it and maybe wanting something small for HD footage. Although I wonder if sticking that runcam lite on my old Mob7 would be better.
Awesome review Nick. Looks great for indoor casual flyers wishing better HD video. I believe I'll order myself one. Thanks, Jeff
That's a very good way to sum it up. Where were you when I was editing :)
First! Not me you! Happy to see happy model trusting Nick with the premier! This is fantastic but I have to confess, I was so amped to get my Mobula 6 and I hardly flew it... Guess we had a lot of good weather so my bigger birds got more air time. No impulse buying just yet but thank you for the great review Nick! 👍🏻
Sure, not every quad do we need or want. What did you think of the Runcam split 3 lite? I am curious how much that will cost when it becomes available. I don't think HappyModel chose me for the premier, global shipping has gone wonky. I have packages sent before this but still in Hong Kong. I am told the commercial flights either aren't happening all that much or the cargo space has been an issue.
Nick Burns I think the Mobula 6 camera is great! I was surprised how clear the picture is. I guess if it was before winter I would have ordered this one. I have to admit the recorded HD footage is as important as the FPV camera for me. This would be my kind of whoop. I used to fly cause I like flying but since the HD revolution, I like flying to make nice videos 🤷🏻♂️
Great review...sold!! That is the best split cam FPV I have seen. I will order one now to try...and adopt on all my other POOR FPV feed split systems. Time to change them all out. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thank you. I agree as in the video. The HD is good, but the fpv is far better than comparables.
some have spoken ill of happy model products, But the more I see them ( and I have the Larva HD ) and fly them, they seem to be a pretty good product
this Mobula 6 looks good as well
Thanks, Nick for all you do
Their price is also very budget friendly. I have yet to see another company that can match HappyModel on performance and price, at the same time.
That's a tough choice, amazing flight capability with the regular Mobula 6 versus HD footage and reduced flight capability with the Mobula 6 HD...
I do know I want HD to record flying through the next set of LED gates I'm intending to make, but I need to find 2 meter LED strings in 5 different, specific colours (red, yellow, blue, pink, orange)
Correction, you only need blue LED strings :). I would get this then transfer to a 75mm frame. I expect it to handle much better on 40mm props, and have longer flight times, just like the mobula 6 to mobula 7 1s did.
@Nick Burns Won't work with just blue, need all 5 colours, it's one of those ideas that if I can get it right, the reactions will be "Awesome! Why didn't I think of that? I wanna make some now!" so the first footage I put out has to be as perfect as possible :) (ordering LED strings tonight)
That's a great idea on upsizing the frame+props for longer+better flight.
That camera is amazing, even in the dark areas the usual grainy video wasn't there. Really great camera for other builds possibly.
Couldn't agree more!
I’m really digging this guy I think it would suit my flying speed. It looked slower and not quite as stable for your speed of flight but that might suit me with the bonus of HD footage.
A yaw spin through those stools would be awesome. Although your flying fanatatic all round. I struggle to get through a doorway!
So I see Happymodel did not fix there issues with FC resetting.
I don't believe so.
@@NickBurnsFPV that an annoying issue and it seems to be most of the boards that do it not a few like they said.
@MarkItZero I saw that
These hd start to look great !
Can't wait to receive mine...
Great review 👊
I put a link to your and Nathan's channel in the vid description. I can't wait to see what you guys can do with it.
@@NickBurnsFPV oh yes... Can't wait...
Thanks Nick !
Hey Nick, you mentioned the proper length of the FPV antenna..., Could you please remind me what it's supposed to be? Thank you Sir!
@@CCC0122 The vtx antenna should be 12.92mm the rx antenna 31.23mm
@@NickBurnsFPV Great and Thank you very much! I asked a couple of the other guys this and I'm wondering why pilots are using the Mobula 7 V2 frame, as opposed to the V3? I personally always liked the V3 the best. And I see a lot of guys who have done this frame swap, they didn't increase the mAh's?? I would think with the V2 or V3, you would put on a 450, 520 or 650mah....? I use the GNB 650's and 520's the most. Again, as always, I thank you for your great wisdom!!!
*Awesome!*
Kinda crazy they went for a bigger lens than on the Split 3 Nano Whoop Edition, though.. I wonder how the weight compares?
The whoop Split also had a good FPV feed (compared to the other Splits). It's still my favorite up to now :)
One thing I really like camera control for is to get the full 16x9 FOV (my goggles support widescreen). If you don't have the control board, hooking up UART control also does the trick.
Thanks, Nick!
Happymodel will sell a ton of these, and for good reason Great review as always, Nick !!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your awesome review. I love your reviews and flights. Can I ask you to make some video about how to flight tiny drones.
Thank you. Do you mean smaller than 65mm drones? I think the smallest I have on the channel is 49mm but that was almost 2 years go. Is there something your looking at?
Need that in my life
Hey Guillermo! 🖖😊
So, a question to all you folks: What do you want to do with this type of quad? Yeah, it records HD, but you can't really freestyle or race with it. Is it to record smoov HD footage for doing videos? What kinds of videos? You all know 65mm is my jam, but having a hard time finding what application it's good for.
Maybe swaping parts to other frame and have fun 😉
I was thinking that too. Put it on a toothpick type frame and then you could freestyle and shit like that.
I suspect your going to have to ask this of the individuals commenting. Or post on facebook to get much of a response.
Another excellent video Nick. Do you think the HD video from this looks better than the Insta360 Go?
I do think this video is better at 60fps than the insta camera.
Nice video, very informative to all, Thanks for the 3.2v cut off tip.
Great review. A definitely scoop this 1 up!
Me and you both. My birthday in 6 days. Going to try and convince my wifey. Lol
I need a whoop just like this!!!!! I love it!
Great Flying and Great Review!!
I was about to buy the Mobula 6 but then I wanted to see the difference between the 6 and 7 and found out there's an HD version of the 6 (I need to catch up), more research is needed but so far I might buy it :)
Yes, they have all the versions and different flight desires covered, just have to pick our priority with the quad to go with it.
Thanks for the awesome reviews, as usual! And awesome flying.
Now that this little guy will become available soon; I've been on the hunt for a fine HD cine whoop for my home/indoor flying (HD capable) in tight places. What's your experience with flight time/quality when comparing this quad with the Cineeye HD from GEPRC and the BetaFpv 65x HD? Which of these would you recommend? Or should I steer away from all three 😁
Its hard to compare 1s to 2s or more. I think for cinewhooping this is better as the image is better and fpv in the goggles is far superior to any other HD/FPV cam.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks Nick. I was lucky enough to catch one on Amazon. It will be here tomorrow!!! Looking forward to it!! Hey Nick, have you looked at the LDARC/KingKong ET125 4s? Just curious...
Yes finally!
This is what I have been waiting for but will reserve judgment until I can view it on a larger screen. Looks nice on my phone screen. *you did a shout out to MOM*
Did I shout out mom?
Nick Burns oh maybe that is not a saying in USA , over here in NZ if you mention somebody you know on TV , radio, video , news paper etc we call it a shout out.
Still trying to figure out how to set up recording start and stop. my screen says memory card full at the top but the card is empty
Maybe the card is of poor quality or to large for the board to read it? Just guessing. I use 32gb sandisk extreme cards.
i got the betafpv 65HD and the mobula solves all the prob with the beta, like adjustable canopy, 1S, more batts with package.... oh and its cheaper and cam looks great
How is there literally zero break up as you fly thru your house?!?! Awesome review!
It’s likely the perfect mix. Open floor plan, wood construction, rapidfire and good spot to fly from. If I sit I. The basement I can barely fly the main floor
Sweet! I literally just ordered a rapidfire module just to fly inside my house, hope it looks at good at yours!! Thanks brother!
How much does the Runcam Split Lite weigh on it's own?
What do you think about running 65mm props with 1102 13500 motors and 1s 450mah or 3" with 1103 11000 motors and 1s 520/650mah. Would be cool to have a 1s HD toothpick.
I think 31mm props are best fit to 080x motors, the weight difference has a performance impact. I would go 1102 13500kv on 40mm props.
I think runcam has better fpv view in these slit cameras whereas caddx had better hd result in my opinion, but I think that the better fpv view is worth the slight downgrade in hd.
You can really feel the weight of the camera on the Mobula6 HD. I got the the regular version after the HD and while the HD Camera is nice, the regular Mob6 is more fun to fly. IMO.
Pretty much on all "HD" micros we have to give up performance to get the HD recording which the components have more weight than its non HD counter parts.
dang I was hoping for a Mobula7 with a FC with the VTX built in from happymodel. Essentially a 2S version of this FC. Maybe one day!
maybe one day.
Really nice whoop. Can't wait to get it. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Looking forward to the day that the HD footage is the FPV footage. I think it's coming sooner rather than later. Caddx already has an HD nano FPV camera. True HD whoop not far behind? Nice flying as usual, Nick.
I hope your right, but I also think it might be a year if it gets there. The nano camera is a move in the right direction, but the air unit portion likely weighs as much as this entire quad or more. But we can dream, right?
mate your a really good pilot
Nick,
Great video ! Thank you for sharing.
Would you still recommend the Mobula 6 HD 65mm Micro Whoop as a good first FPV ?
Do you recommend the Frsky D8 Receiver, DSM2/DSMX Receiver, or Flysky Receiver? I have a Jumper T-Lite JP4IN1 Multi-protocol OpenTX Transmitter on order.
Thank you !
I don't tend to reccomend quads that record hd as a first or really starter quads. The hd camera and its recording board isn't as durable as the non hd recording counter part. They also can have additional issues we don't see in the non HD recording version.
Oh man, more toys to play with... Haha. I think this would be a great cam on bigger whoops too. I want one for my 75mm whoop 👍
So you do think the runcam split 3 lite is an improvement?
@@NickBurnsFPV it sure looks good. Definitely an improvement and that fpv feed is great.
You could try putting all the guts of this on a 75mm frame with 300mah batteries.
Gday Nick, its very amazing that this little guy can carry so much more weight, your footage looks very awsome, the hd lite works great, how does it fly compared to the standard mobula 6, does it feel heavy? try a bit of eletrical tape place it on the underside of the sd card itself leave a bit to stick to the micro stack or frame so if it ejects you wont loose it, great review as always mate.👍🛸
I can definitely feel the weight. Not suprising adding 6+ grams over the standard mobula 6
Man! How do you make it all the way through your house without failsafing? I get 45ft and drop. I've tried everything, fine tuning, differnt radios, new fc, modded antenna, Redpine, d8, d16 just get trash range.
Also putting this HD version into the mob7 frame and it's amazing to fly.
So is the vtx and the radio receiver the same as in the M6? Because i got the M6 a while now, im pretty impressed with the vtx and radio range on that and if it is the same on the M6 HD ill buy one.
Edit: I am using frsky, so the D8 receiver in this case
It is the same board with vtx and Rx on it
Nick Burns thanks!
first time i was this early!
Last time I disappointed somebody
Looks like they just used the larva x canopy again, or is it any different? This is an interesting setup, but I think 75mm frame with 40mm props would carry the weight better. Would be good if small size is somebody's top priority though.
The design is very similar to the larva x canopy, but the materials feel different when touching and squeezing and the M6 HD canopy isn't shiny.
Hi Nick,
do you know, if the HD version is also able to be flashed with JESC?
Cause eveybody talks about the standard Mobula6 when it comes to flash it with JESC.
I haven't confirmed, but I have no reason to think its not compatible, I expect the esc is the same as mobula6.
The HD footage looks great, but the FPV Footage is more impressive to me! That Runcam Split 3 is a beast. Im just worried about longevity with these small HD Whoops, they seem to struggle with the added weight which will probably stress out the Electronics more compared to the Mobula 6 for example. Would be really bummed about a dead ESC after only a couple of flights.
That is a reasonable worry. I likely had 40-50 flights before the review and about 20 since. Still somewhat a small sample.
Hi Nick! Whould you reccomend the mobula 6hd + beta lite radio 2 + beta vr01? Or matbe tinyhawk 2 freestyle rtf kit/ betafpv starter,advanced kit 2? Or maybe another idea? I have never flown fpv it will be my first quad
I have been getting reports of quality control issue with the beta lite 2 radio. The emax kit using the joystick like controls are okay, but the radio lacks some stick resolution, making fine control difficult. At this time is really difficult to recommend an RTF kit.
Very detailed review thanx man, did u flash jesc 48khz firmware to see if the flightimes improved? Didnt hear mention of that in the vid
I didn’t flash esc special sauce 😁
@@NickBurnsFPV ohhh that should be ur next video see how much flight time u can squeeze out of it maybe jesc first then with rpm filtering, see if you can get it past the 3 minute mark that would be awesome i think for making better videos
How do you properly turn off the cam? Just take out the card? And will doing so increase the flight time?
for line of sight flying? Otherwise there is a button that stops recording or unplugging the battery turns off the whole quad.
Nick, thanks for the review! I'm particularly interested in these new EX0802 motors. Banggood says they are lighter, just 1.6g, I wonder how that design would compare to the previous 0802 19000kv design when it comes to power and efficiency. Have you tried these motors in a standard 20g whoop build?
I have not tried the new motors in a stock mobula6 yet.
my mobula 6 board dies when it is flexed during flying? Is this a normal issue. I'm contemplating replacing it with the HD Mobula 6. Is there an alternative mobula HD or is my all in one just one crash to many?
sounds either like a loose wire connection or the board has a trace that is broken.
Nick...do you think throwing 4 bladed props on would improve performance ( and I assume hurt flight time)? Thoughts on why they went with the 19k vice maybe the 25k of the Mob6 Race version given that substantial increase in weight (with batteries 26g up to 36g+)?
I do think the performance would improve with quad blades and yes hurt flight time. I think for manufacturers they try to have "different" products from their competitors but also understand a large part of the market wants max flight time. I would expect many wouldn't buy if the flight time is less than 2mins which is likely would with 25000kv motors.
Nick Burns ...yeah tracking on all...I’m definitely in the flight time camp as I’m mostly a park / proximity / cruiser type!...So 3+ mins is my expectation for fun...even building some frankenwhoops a la the Shutterbug85 that can squeeze out 5+ on 450mah HV flats! Also you should build PMBs Meemo...I used the guts from a MOB6...motors he suggested..and Avan 4 bladed and it is an amazing flyer and super efficient on 1s. BTW I’m still tinkering with funny logos for you...I’ll send one along when I’m satisfied with them...but they are centered on the funny stuff you say sometimes...like “wang it hard”...they’d be funny on a t-shirt or hat!
@@rickdeckard7549 funny logos sound awesome. Yes, please let me know.
Hai nick.. After 3 months.. . Is the board aio still survive? I heard the aio board not last long... Just curious. Thanks
Yes, mine is fine. I don't fly it daily but a few packs 1 day a week or so.
@@NickBurnsFPV i hope this fc will stronger from previous one.
Hi Nick,
ive bought one from banggood and the stuff to upgrade it to the 75mm frame. but i keep running in to some Gyro issues
when i arm the quad, the horizon starts dropping imediatly till about -10 degrees while it is sitting on the ground, level.
its like you pull back on the stick but i did not even take off.
it doesnt drift further than 10 degrees, it just drops slowely (1deg/s) and then sits there.
the sticks are nice and level on the 1500 mark
any ideas?
I presume we are flying either angle or horizon mode, and likely checking while plugged into betaflight? I would start with calibrating on a nice flat surface, super level....checked with a level. Its not unusual to get some gyro drift over time, especially if we jolt the board.
do you think is this better than mobuls 6? I am getting into fpv buying my first drone, and i was about to buy mobula 6 or tinyhawk 2. Do you think HD is worth for a newbe?
Better only in the sense the footage we get is better. The performance isn't nearly as good as the original mob6. The extra weight of hd has an impact.
Thanks for the vid.
Very good. Longer flight time?
we can flash new esc firmware 48khz to increase flight time.
Can we see how this thing is wired?
When i built mine with the mob6 board...i had to use a 5v regulator soldered to the battery to feed the hd board or it would turn off.
Only difference i see in the camera is the camera housing.
Nice review Nick! I couldn't wait for the market, i had to build mine.
The runcam split3 lite is plugged into the camera slot on the AIO board. No additional regulator
@@NickBurnsFPV must be a different board then👍🏼👍🏼
Damn it performed well
Hi Nick Great video and review of the Mobula 6 HD, I really like the video of the turtle and I don't believe how good it flow after putting in all that weight of the turtle in it. I do have a couple of micros that I would like to put the turtle into. Thanks again for the information.
Might be a voice to text thing or typo, but this is camera is the Runcam split 3 lite.
Nope ! It was a Brain Fart ! Typing one thing and thinking of a different type. Thanks again
Hi Nick, thanks for your review. I got mine recently and still consider myself new to the fpv world, I still have few 1s batteries (450mah) from my tiny hawk s. Is it dangerous if I try them on my mobula 6hd? Thanks in advance.
While they won't fit in the battery holder those batteries can be used.
I also hate that the board resets at 3 volts. I was hoping they would fix that. It's a pain in the ass having to go through all those steps again! My mobula 6 I stop at 3.2 just to be safe. I hate having to set up! Thanks for that info.
I have tested several of my boards, all do it, but I have been told by commenters here, not all boards do it. I don't know the difference or they did fix later versions.
Loses quad settings and bind when dropping below 3 volts?? I never try to fly under 3, but yikes! Is that happen on other quads?
I'm tempted to buy this, looks great! thanks!
At this time to my knowledge that behavior is limited to this board and I have been told not all of them do it. I have tested 2 of mine and both do it. I should have clarified, its not flying below 3v but landing/disarming and disconnecting power below 3volts.
I loved your video and this little drone uses a voltage bec for 5v as 1s as it feeds the camera, I have tried to build one without success, regards
Nick what is your Favorite HD whoop for outdoors?
I presume with HD recording on board like this Mobula 6 HD? Bigger is generally more stable outside. I would look the Geprc cineye.
Pretty impressive as usual. The 2 min 20 sec flight time is a little fast for my liking. If it were closer to 4 min. I would be interested.
likely need to transfer to a 75mm frame with 40mm props and larger battery.
hi Nick, nice review.. is there any difference between runcam split on the mobula hd with runcam split 3 Whoop version?
yes, weight is lower and image both HD and FPV is better imho.
Just bought this whoop and been going through all your videos. (Thanks for all the info it helps a lot!)
Had around 20 flights straight out of the box (BF 3.5.X) were 3 min ish and no vibration when recovering a dive. But after I updated to BF 4.2.5 I only got a little more then 2 min flying and those vibrations. I guess some settings are not tuned well in BF since all got reset and I forgot to screenshot the old settings first. I’m totally new so do you maybe have some tips on fixing this or is that normal with 4.2.5?
Going to try jesc now maybe that helps
Out of the box it has the pids tuned, when flashing we only get the betaflight defaults, which work for a good many 5inch quads, but not for micros. The big challenge in this hobby is learn to pid tune. Being your getting started, I would go to the happymodel.cn website and download the hex file for betaflight 3.5.7 for this board. Then we need the cli dump to past into the betaflight cli, which I can get you. Email me at nickburnsrc@gmail.com when your ready for that.
not bad, it's pretty amazing for 1S!
really for 1s I agree.
wait a sec Nick, didn't BetaFPV bring out a 65 x HD first, before HappyModel? I bet BetaFPV & HappyModel are in the same building in Shenzhen, producing in the same factory ; )
Great review & vid quality.
Stay safe & take care!
This is first 1s 65mm HD, if I recall correctly the betafpv product was 2s.
Nick Burns which HD in your opion is better? Quality, weight, mounting, use & of course the price? Stay safe & take care Nick.
Interesting to know between both of them
Nice.. Looks a bit heavy. but very nice picture
hi Nick, I’m having problems flashing Betaflight firmware back to the stock one Betaflight_3.5.7_CRAZYBEEF4FR, the flashfirmware button doesn’t work even though it’s colored yellow, any suggestions??
its likely the drivers on the computers, this is normally the issue. Search for impulserc driver fixer, run that application, when its done, unplug usb and re plug usb, then try to flash again.
thanks!, but it didn’t work, I don’t think that is the issue because I’m able to change from all the firmware’s that are available online from betaflight, it just won’t work on the stock firmware loaded locally, the flash firmware button doesn’t do anything when clicked, even though it’s colored yellow
@@rodrigoc6170 We might have to downgrade the betaflight application to get the older hex to flash. I am not certain as I haven't done it recently.
Will the betafpv goggles and controller work wit this whoop?Im very new to fpv
Yes, they will. We need to ensure we match the quad radio protocol frsky d8 with the radio version we purchase.
Been waiting for this for 2 years 🤗😁 is it onboard dvr, or is it the goggle dvr?
The HD footage is onboard. The FPV view, the part with OSD on screen is goggle dvr recording.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks Nick, I'm totally blown away by the quality of both feeds Thanks for sharing, this is a "getter" in my book 🥰👌 will order next payday, using your link
@@Prop-A Thank you. I really like when we not only have a new quad but new components. Makes the video more useful.
Hey Nick can we talk you in to doing a build for us kinda like sweeping a Woop drone in to a tooth pick build desoldering the jst connectors for motors and hooking ever thang else up say take a Woop drone 65 mm turn it into a 115 mm tooth pick ?
Possibly, I am fairly backlogged again. Its a good problem to have, no complaints.
Did you notice lag/delay on the fpv feed? It was the first thing that caught my attention (compared to say mobula7) Noticeable without sd card recording also.
I did not, but I have seen where the health and speed of the sd card can play a role in the feel of latency. Some I have even seen where the goggle image will slightly freeze. I would try a different and high speed card if I felt the latency.
How would you say this compares to the Mobula 7? I have the Mobula 6 and love it but I considering getting a 6 hd or 7 hd partly as a backup for when I break what I have now and for HD.
The mobula 7 is 2s and thus more powerful and faster. The mobula 7 HD has been problematic for some. If you get it, I think its more safe to run it on 2s as well. Although it stated as 2-3s.
Super !!!! what are your video glasses and video recorder ?
The non HD video is from the dvr of the Orca FPV One goggles. The HD footage is recorded on the quad.
hi Nick.. i have a question maybe you can help me about my Mobula6HD. I just notice that my recorded file from sd card on mobula6 is year 2015..can you help me where i can setup the date of record? thankyou
I don't believe we can change this without rewriting the camera firmware.
@@NickBurnsFPV alright thankyou sir
How do you record in HD like that ? You have another cam ? I'm very surprise ! I mean with your DVR recorder into your google it looks more like at @6:19 ...
please tell me your witch craft!
Great video review :-) I bought it thanks to you! ;)
Is has a recording on the quad. We insert an sd card into the quad, the hd camera records automatically when its powered on and the sd card is inserted.
Nick Burns ooh! Thanks I didn't notice it at first! It's well hidden and none of the review I saw showed it ! I will try it ! Thanks a lot! ... just have to wait to receive my flysky tx since I order a flash sell... and didn't notice it was a flysky 😭
Hi please help me I have mobula 6 hd with betafpv transmitter but haw start
There isn't enough information here. What is the symptom your trying to overcome?
Is it easy to transfer the split lite to another FC? Say I want to mount it in a toothpick and reuse the other components for my other builds...
The split lite is connected just like a normal camera, so yea, its pretty straight forward.
Do you think getting the crossfire receiver will affect some of its performance due to the added weight?
it will, we can't avoid it when we add weight. It might not be a huge difference, but that depends a lot on flight style.
Nick, that below 3 volt "bug" is it that even on say a punch out if you go below you lose your whole configuration?
I haven't encountered that before on any quad but is that endemic to this quad because of FC or RunCan HD board?
I don't think it resets on a punchout below 3v, but if we land and the battery doesn't recover above 3v before we unplug the battery. It is specific to this board, and I have been told it doesn't happen on all of them, but I tested 2 of mine and both did it.
Nick Burns - I haven’t encountered that on my Mobula 6 but then I try to avoid going below 3.2 volts through normal use anyway. It’s such an odd “bug” or quirk to see these days.
@@frankbarajas It also makes me wonder if its a heat issue, with the vtx on the board.
Nick Burns - Yes, it does get hotter that just about any FC that I have ever had, but I can’t imagine why that would cause that issue, but your right it is an issue to some degree, excuse the unintended pun. Maybe, that added heat affects the onboard NVRAM memory? I have had other FCs reset due to low voltage, such as the Tiny Hawk did, but that was fixed by adding a small 20uf cap, but it didn’t lose it’s settings. Perhaps this FC combo lacks the filtration needed as some capacitors may have been removed for space limitations which creates the right environment for this bug to happen? Just spitballing here, but maybe the reasons some boards are affected by this bug is due to the variances in capacitors from unit to unit. In other words, all electrical components have a tolerance that they vary from and this is why high tolerance components cost much more as they are more accurate to their specifications. However, most components of each type, are built the same, but due to variations in the manufacturing process, some will come out better when tested, while some will fail or preform poorly when tested. The top performers will be your most expensive and/or certified components, but I digress. Getting back to this issue, that may be why some boards have this issue while others don’t, which is due to subtle variations in the component’s quality? I mean, it could be just some lower quality components that causes this to happen and I was using the capacitor as an example, but who knows what it could be? I should note that I add a 220uf cap (10volt) to all my whoops and that could be why mine isn’t seeing this issue, but again I don’t drop my batt voltage that far either. I just have the regular Mobula 6 as well so not comparing the same quads.
I love this bird! My lens popped out once, and I was able to reseat it and had a clean video feed. Happened again and no matter what I try its still blurry. Any help is welcome!!?
Tuning the fpv camera picture can be a challenge. If nothing is permanently damaged we should be able to look in the goggles and rotate the lens to tune in a clear image.
