I’ve had this for a few months, it’s a ton of fun to fly, I’ve crashed it at full speed into concrete walls and it still works great. Only issue is the range like you said, but for the size and form factor, I can’t complain too much, it’s fun to zip around the house/apartment/backyard
It’s a blast
i recently got the "starter kit2" and love it!
mine loses bind sometimes but its a ez fix...just keep inkpen handy lol!
Does it have an acro mode
Yes
@@benballantine7718 my "starter kit" does...its a switch on the radio...
Hello!I agree with you, the emax remote is not great, but the emax drone is a real pleasure. I can't wait for my frsky x-lite s and the meteor 75 😁 I just had a mobula 6 and its not easy to fly this after tinyhawk 2 (is going sow fast)but I love it.
Great.
@@HalfChrome I have e800d google and want to upgrade and buy something news, do you thing ev300O is a good choice or is better skyzone O2x?
Both are good.
Hi there! Do you think getting new goggle antennas would help in terms of the video transmission range/quality? I'm thinking of getting some seeing how short the range was.
Yes
I burnt a motor the first day I got it. I think it hit something and I didn't disarm it in time and their was a burning smell coming from on motor. I just ordered another Meteor75.
Bummer
Hey jack, you should do a review about the gerprc tiny go rtf kit
Hello Mr. Towne it’s nice to see you in your videos again it me Matt by the way form the club at school
What’s up Matt?
Eh nothing much just had a recent surgery and I’m still recovering so t worry but yeah that’s all about me how about you?
Great and very helpful video.
Newbie question: the range problem is because of the drone receiver and thus still worth it as a “beginner” set for the goggles to be paired with other drones?
My Emax kit came with 2 antennas for the goggles.
How far can I fly with the betafpv???
Please answer
100 meters give or take
@@HalfChrome thanks
I prefer and recommend Herizon mode for the FPV newbie that has already been flying line of sight and with auto level.
It has me near flying in acro mode.
Race H helps me keep the video smooth forward flight.
There is also acro trainer
@@HalfChrome yep. I paid for the full version of Freerider and Betaflight VTX Config.
The major difference between acro and auto level is turning.
I'm still getting used to pitching the roll stick the opposite direction of yaw. I still find myself trying to correct it and ending up in a out of control spin dive or upside down and landing on my head. Lol, not as much as when I started, but still have a little trouble remembering sometimes.
The simulator is cool when using a real transmitter.
Simulators are a great way to learn
Update: I figured out what happened. I was using a different stick configuration than the standard U.S. config. Yeah, flight simulators are great... As long as you are not using a stick configuration foreign to your standard preference.
😏👍
@@MadDragon75 "pitching the roll stick the opposite direction of yaw." So true man lol
Good comparison, but already have the TH2 kit. Question...how do I know if I'm on the right channel on my goggles? Sry newbie here :)
Smart audio.
Can you confirm that the Radio Lite 2 that comes in the kit is the FrSky version? I heard the ones that come in the kits do not do D8 therefore limiting its future versatility.
It is D8 and frsky. I have used it with other D8 quads
Quick question, I can't get my betafpv to bind... I haven't been successful after multiple attempts.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
I have the betafpv advanced kit 2 and it stopped working two batteries in. Very disappointing. Getfpv is working with me one returning the kit and getting a new one.
Got an Emax Tinyhawk 2 kit and it stopped working four batteries in (ESC doesn't work for a motor, even replaced it (the motor) before discovering that the original motor worked fine in other slots...). :/
@@GerardAtTube thats generally a pretty solid little unit.... grab up a new esc and let it rip.... or maybe contact whom you bought it from and maybe they can help you with a replacement
Contact Emax. They are usually good.
@@HalfChrome thats good to know i just scooped up the babyhawk 2 hd and it freaking ripppppps
@@HalfChrome Not this time tho : they cusually told me to buy another 80$ ESC board. 250$+batteries+2motors in this for maybe 45 minutes total flight time, I'm feeling very disappointed. Would NOT recommend at all.
i wish they would have set it up for arm disarm like they did.... the oppiste side in the back be just turtle mode then a three way be acro level and horizon... then another with their goofy race modes
Thank you, good info, Good job by far as always!! O nice house too.
Thanks
Can I connect the betaFPV controller to the FPV simulator such as liftoff?
Yes
what is a good simulator for the betafpv tx, i could get working properly with freeriderfpv recharged
That’s what I was going to recommend
can this kit work with the Betafpv95x v3 non hd version? theres an option for the frsky tx but not sure if it will work with the goggles?
Yes the goggles will work
What remotes can i use with the emax drones?
Any D8 Frsky compatible remote
Emax does come with 2 antennas you just got a messed up package
Would you raccomand to upgrade from emax controller to beta controller. I don't have a large budget
Hey there! sorry im totally new to this, but would it help if i match the TinyHawk 2s with the Lite Radio 2? and maybe swap the goggles too
You could
You said the betafpv has one fatal flaw and you still picked it over the tinyhawk. Confusing. Why recommend a drone with such awful range?
The Tinyhawk range is better for sure. However the remote and goggles on the Tinyhawk are worse. The remote specifically is terrible. BETAFPV components are better and could be used with other drones. Easy upgrade
Is it possible to use the controller and goggles on emax tinyhawk 2 freestyle
Yes
@@HalfChrome ok thanks
Hey Thanx for this review! Do you have any information about the flight times??
3-4 min
Nice review, but the box goggles won't fit with my eyeglasses, will this bind to the FXT Viper goggles?
Yes
Are you able to connect your emax to the betafpv controller
If they are both Frsky then yes.
Hey i just got my emax ez pilot as my first drone as a beginner because of you, but im having issue with my drone, after i charged the battery and play with the drone, it work well but after some seconds later the drone wont go up instead it just keep hovering on the ground, i can still control it but it wont go up, do you whats wrong and how to fix it? (My suspect is because the battery is weak after second playing so it cant power up the drone but idk im a newbie and dont know anything)
Sounds like the battery to me. Make sure it’s fully charged. It should show voltage in your goggles. Should start out around 4.2 and fly to around 3.5
that was the closest call i've ever seen 1:57
It was
How did I choose? I chose the one that was in stock lol
Sometimes that is the choice
Hey, do you know why every time after i calibrate my emax ez pilot and i have to arm it, it just goes back to calibration mode? (After i armed it , the light didn't blink fast ) I have to calibrate again and arm it again, if it didnt connect, i repeat the process until it blinking fast
That doesn’t seem right
What type of protocol is the most universal Elrs or a 4 in 1 ?
Frsky is probably the most common but ELRS is the becoming the new standard.
My tinyhawk 2 goggle came with two antennas
Lucky you
Half Chrome it has to be luck - most reviewers mention the motors are soldered onto the board... mine are connected by the connectors :(
the box seems to be the exact same box as mavic mini
Nope. Very different. Same color though.
I have both and the Mavic mini is much smaller but made pretty much the same and practically the same color.
what screwdriver did you use to open the beta65s??
Small Phillips
Can we use this controller and goggles for other drones?
Yes. You can.
@@HalfChrome thank you for a great video and fast response!
Which drone has more range in the fpv setup?
Tinyhawk
Greetings a question friend the beta store fpv in which country is it located
Not sure.
can i use the emax drone and the batafpv goggles and radio
Yes. You could
Ok thanks so much
For the beta FPV drone what simulator would you recommend?
FPV freerider is good and inexpensive.
Thank you
You are welcome
And whitch custom setting is more similar at Meteor 75?
sorry ,couldn't get it working
👍👍👍
What is the range?
Not far at all
I just bought one, and i will get it next week. what kind of antenna do you recommend for the googles in order to improve video reception? also, the same for the two antennas? or maybe a more directional antenna in one of them?
A good Omni
Half Chrome but an Omni isn’t circular polarized? And this Vtx has a linear polarized antena on the drone ?
Yes. It will still work
They discontinued the BetaFPV kits :/
Bummer.
Emax all the way!!
I recently got the EMAX Pilot kit, Goggles have great reception until the drone motors start and then it looses the channel, every time. Any ideas on what the problem is please?
You are not on the correct channel
@@HalfChrome Thanks, Im on F-01- 5740 which was found by auto scan. Ill keep trying :-)
@@boydriver2978 autoscan sometimes fixes on the wrong channel.
save your money guys
I had the worst experience with betafpv and a defective kit. Eventually got a refund but it was like pulling teeth. Do yourself a favor and build your own with a jumper, fatshark, and the quad of the month.
I’m having the same problem right now. Asking for a replacement or refund
Bummer
I'm 1st
Congrats
@@HalfChrome Thanks
thats not true the video goes very far you liear!!
Really? Define very far
