Is this a beginner whoop?
@@johnlheneghan1630 Possibly, I would say the first step would be to drone sim with our radio of choice. Next step flying in real like, this the mobula 6 meteor65, etc whoops are good choices.
Any info on if the d16 mode works?
Thanks for the shout-out Nick! And yes, working on a custom PMB tune for Emuflight for the Hummingbird Pro and it includes some new stuff for that Bosch gyro which is super nice for filtering and seems to handle crashes better. And hopefully come winter there will be a special PMB BNF version that Angle racers will love.
Also, this is my favorite and go-to racer now. My current early tester doesn't like Rapidfire 1, but Rapidfire 2 works fine.
I have pretty much only been running RF 2. What does RAB fpv run?
@@NickBurnsFPV For a whoop? or Goggles? I think RAB is running a custom Meteor or Mob6, but AyyyKayyy is on a Hummingbird now and team pilots are testing my latest on Emuflight...it's gonna be goooood. OH, and I love your stash of Nitro Nectars!
@@ProjectMockingbird where do you see the main advanteges with the bosh gyro? will there be a drop/gain in flighttime with those new filters?
Monolize so far with no specific code optimization for the Bosch I’ve been able to reduce overall filtering which is increasing flight times and handling prop wash better. It also tends to not get knocked off kilter as easily as the 6000.
I want to get this one but shipping to Europe is 70$ 😭
Try DroneJunkie, it is based in the UK.
Be quick though, only 5 left at time of writing.
International shipping is rough. Hopefully drone junkie has something for you
Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone Here. If you have any FPV shops you think should carry our products, please let me know! We are looking for european distributors.

I am currently using this as my primary whoop for #IGOW. Very nice whoop!

Nick what a gentleman !!! What other UA-camrs share his space for others videos !!! Ph. Nick what is your pick this one or the mobula 6 ?
For my style I lean to the mobual6. Lighter, so I can fly faster inside.
Sir, do you know a place in the Usa, where I can buy (if the have in stock), the Mobula6 or 7 ? If possible with the latest hardware? Im in Canada.

Thanks to you, Nick, I tried the Nitro Nectar with the GNB connectors and you were spot on. World of difference in power. It's really like flying a totally different, more powerful whoop. Thanks!
Adjustable camera angle is a must for me, it can be a hassle in micros but it's still a must for me!
And as for the channel mini/micros is why I'm here not just indoor 😉
🥃cheers🍻
Wow that's a premium tiny whoop if I've ever seen one
No need to apologise for your flying on this one, you always do really great! I like how the LEDs flash off the props in that flight.
Gday Nick, nice flying very cool micro, its great to see someone other than China building these little buggers, great review mate.👍🛸
Looks like the current sensor needs calibration. 877 mah used and 24 max amps. So if I had to guess, divide those numbers by 3 roughly for actual stats? That being said, does anybody actually makes a charger for 1s batteries that displays mah refilled at the end of the charging cycle? For the price this is a great deal. I may have to pick one up.
Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone Here. There are not currently dedicated 1s chargers that do that. However, a charger like the Hota D6, which charges 1-6s, keeps track of the mAh put into the battery!
@@m3fpv253 Thanks! I've been thinking about making a custom xt60 1s wiring harness for my multi cell charger to use on 1s batteries for a while.
@@sixtofive we do have a charging board that takes 1s PH2.0s and has a xt60 connector for your charger. It is called "double sided charging board." Most people have moved to 1s dedicated chargers for the convenience
Great flying 👍
Excellent review Nick! I bought the multi pack of the Nitro Gold pack!
No luck binding in Frsky D16 mode, but D8 complete with RSSI telemetry worked for me!
Sucks got only 20 flights in not flying hard first the camera while from came off then a few flights later the rx just stopped working. Won’t rebind. Bricked unit. Want flying hard at all
That is disappointing, sorry to hear this.
Mine did too! Nbd replaced my cam but won’t help with the dead Rx, considering adding a xm but I don’t want anymore $ tied up in a bum product.
I flew mine a couple of times and it quit. Contacted support and sent them pictures and video as requested, and never heard back. Maybe I got a lemon? Flew great for about 10 minutes. It powers up but doesn't receive channel input. Anyone have any suggestions?
I would contact support again. There has been some recent support staff changes. I have seen online they have had some support struggles.
You didn't just get a Lemon. Mine also died a week after getting it and I found dozens of other people who said the same thing and the support still hasn't gotten back to me after sending the the requested pics and video of the problem. It sucks because it is such a nice flying whoop but the design was stupid by putting the rx pads right near the canopy mount
Here an Instagram video I did with the hummingbird pro and insta360. instagram.com/p/CDka9c_nV2J/?igshid=sc03vx3nxqh9
I cut down my quad blade gemfans and hq props, they work great but I'd love to try the venoms
Adjustable camera angle is a must for me.
How does this stack up to the Mobula 6 lite?
Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone Here. The mobula 6 is lighter and can be a bit faster for racing. However, like Nick said, the Hummingbird Pro is super smooth and feels great for freestyle and cruising
@@m3fpv253 Hello Chris, When are you guys going to start making canopies with adjustable camera angles, even at cruising not everyone likes the frame in view.
I just got one tonight against my better judgment I bound it up and raced with it before getting any practice in with it.. honestly it flew great, I reversed the motors to run props out and that fixed any issues I had with flight characteristic. I'm running a betafpv f4 aio with nbd plaids on my other build and I really dig how this flies compared to that one!!
Fantastic flying and review, Nick! 😃
Looks like a fun little quad!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
First thing I do to all my 1s quads is puts solid pin battery connector. Bought a 20 piece bag of them and a roll of 16 gauge silicone wire. I do that before I ever fly it.
Whats the smallest drone youve ever flown
It won't be long when Nick's house becomes a track option in Velocadrone...
Oh I don't think any sims are working on that. But maybe one day.
Tried swapping the pigtail out for the bt 2.0 connector. Unfortunately the ts100 wont pull the wire out. Not sure what kind of weird solder they used for the +/- leads but 400° C isnt hot enough for it to be removed...
Maybe splice the wires together rather than removing from the board?
Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone here. The ground plane is fairly big and it can be a bit tough to desolder the connectors. Use a wider tip, apply flux, and wet your tip. Those three things should make it easier to remove the pigtail. You could also just cut the connector off and solder on the BT2.0 like Nick said
Tin your soldering tip
Wonder if this is better than the BeeBrain Brushless.
For racing & freestyle.
I got the BBB for IGOW2 but am second guessing it now with the recent videos about this dude.
I think the bbb is also good but this is better value imho
I can confirm, this is better than bbb on 1s. Bbb can do 2s, which can be nice, and has a better vtx, but isnt as good on 1s
@@Rocketyfox food for freestyle? (For igow)
Hi Nick, Why are there two copper receiver antennas on this one, havent seen that before??
Those are the receiver antennas
Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone Here. Those are enameled wires that act as receiver antennas. They are more durable than the thin yellow antennas we used in the past!
Thanks Chris and Nick...I’ve been flying mine a few days now...great drone at that price point. (@ Chris W...I’ll probably by a second) Lol...goobers, I know WHAT they are...this is the first time I’ve seen TWO coming off an AIO SPI receiver board! So is that true receiver diversity? If so...awesome....I flew it against my MOB6 this AM and over the route around the edges of the park I was flying it did appear to have more solid RSSI throughout the envelope...both quads on D8...and using the same BETAFPV Lite Radio 2! (Really decent budget setup for park cruising)...I’m on the road a lot (errrr WAS) and this will be my go to (along with my Fatsharks) load out going forward. (Alibi: LOL...@ Chris W....NewBee Drone needs to do a giveaway for those custom painted Goober canopies...the artist is amazing...Nick if you haven’t already check his stuff on the NBD store and more widely on the artist Pinterest page...total vanity project but darn if that guy is not tempting me to put 50 bucks down on a 2 dollar canopy!)
The tune is really good wouldn't recommend touching it. Neebee is really helpful too worth 80 bucks just for support.
Nick, what radio and googles and vtx receiver do you use. I see you have no vid break up.
The most important elements are the rapidfire module, with good environment. Inside we have an open floorplan with traditional wood and sheetrock construction. I also fly on raceband 8 when I can.
Nick Burns
Thanks for info. I’ll have to check out raceband 8
Great video! I just ordered mine
Thank you for another great review
Shame about the motor plugs, fixed camera position and rolled pin battery plug. In 2020 those are deal breakers for me, otherwise it looks good. Thanks for the great review.
The build and material quality is superb 💪🏽 fixed angle is common on whoops
I don't get what he was saying about the camera and motor plugs. They look like standard micro 1.25 (motor) and 1.0 (camera) pitch connectors.
They are smaller than the typical connectors. I have a side by shot of the motor connectors
I do like NBD also, but man, the decisions on this kind of stuff is maddening and also why I'll be taking a pass. I'm guessing it's for board space reasons but WHY go different than everyone else in this one goofy area? Make the board 1mm wider and use the standard 1.25 plugs. Innovation is good, I love the idea of their OSD chip (but hate that I have to wait on firmware updates, another hard no for me), but this distinction is just asinine.
The motor plugs are the same as the TinyHawk. All valid points IF the NBD motors weren’t stellar. No need to put other motors on in my opinion other than plaid and gold. Camera angle, yeah 30 degree would be nice but it’s easy to throw a 3D printed mount and a black horse or tiny whoop canopy if you want.
Another great review. This little guy is priced right for what you get. Thanks Nick
The roll,.........outstanding.
Just got this quad, how would I make the yaw more sensitive or responsive?
increase yaw rates.
Not a beginner whoop
how this view is so nice?
do u know if this drone connects to the Bata fpv lite radio 2 se?????
They should if they are both running the same protocol. Not sure which protcol versions you are looking at.
@Nick Burns So I gotta ask as a tiny whoop semi-enthusiast... how does it compare to the Mob6 in your opinion in flight performance? What about the "quality of life" comparisons like how good is the camera compared between them? How does the SPI receiver range compare between them?
I can't comment on range, I didn't fly outside. I suspect in a few hours or so we will see a host of Hummingbird footage coming to the comments section with outside flight footage. For me and my flight style, I prefer adjustable camera angle and the lightest possible whoop for max performance. This puts me in the Mob6 category. Getting long flights isn't important to me, if I get 2:30 I am good with that. I would think the support and quality of product would be very good or even a step above industry standard, its hard for me to judge that as I don't seem to break stuff at the same rate as others.
@@NickBurnsFPV I have the mobula 6, and I love it, EXCEPT man is the SPI receiver absolute garbage. I get low RSSI just flying around my downstairs, which is probably comparable to your track from your kitchen through the dining and living room. SPI receivers are notoriously bad, but the Mob6's are on a whole new level of bad for range for me.
I’ve tested them all and the hummingbird pro has the standard range for a D8 FrSky rx. Waaaaaay better than my BetaFPV and Mob6 FrSky versions and about the same as the serial DSMX BetaFPV Meteor. Having diversity is nice.
@@heroflying I am starting to wonder if the length of the antenna is consistent from the factory. I have seen reports of people replacing the antenna with prop length wire getting much better results. But its not easy to ensure we get 31.23mm of exposed antenna length. :(
From my experience, the meteor65 gets better rx/tx distance compared to the hummingbird pro. Using the same tx, same flying location. I get failsafes at around 75 feet out with a tree in the middle of my backyard that my meteor65 does not have a problem with. Basically, my tx/rx link on the NBD hummingbird pro cannot "outrun" the 25mw vtx link. I failsafe way before vtx link craps out. Here is another test to see the difference in link...turn on your NBD whoop and place it right near the tx..for me I can never ever get rssi to crack 78%. Yet my meteor65 can get 99% right up close.
Sold me! Just ordered from the link! 👍
just ordered mine cant wait
Folded pin battery connectors have given me such a bad experience, and my hands seem to be too shaky to solder on those tiny AIO boards so I can't seem to replace the connectors myself without messing up the board. Really makes me wish the xt30 connector would become standard, even if the quads had to get slightly bigger to make up for the weight.
Maybe some solder wick would help? Or clip the end and splice in the replacement, going wire to wire.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks for the ideas! I did give the solder wick a try and it let me get a couple extra attempts to get the battery wires connected to the board without bridging, but I ended up bumping the tip of the iron into a nearby component on the board and loosening if not outright damaging it, then I found that a camera wire had also loosened off the board and so I just gave up on that board entirely before I made it worse.
The splice method is probably my best choice... I was put off of it because people say the wire gauge matters too but it might be my only option.
On the bright side I have seen some 2-3S quads coming out with several receiver options and xt30 connectors, I just haven't seen any which are popular or widely recommended yet. But I have hope that there will soon be something that meets my criteria, still lots of new models coming to the market.
@@foaloal Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone here. You can cut the connector off and solder on any connector you like! The wire gauge we use is plenty for this whoop and soldering on a larger connector should only increase the electrical efficiency!
@@m3fpv253 Ah, good to know the wire gauge is solid. Thanks for the information, I appreciate it!
@@foaloal While awg of wire does matter, the awg used on the battery pigtail will carry well more current than the battery can supply. I am not sure of the impact soldering wires together would have. I would think minimal and the battery pigtail isn't in full contact with the copper pads, and the trace below the pad through the board is very small as well.
Newbeedrone is great. I love what they do and buy from them often!
FYI: From the JESC tones, telemetry is NOT licensed so NO rpm filters as shipped. I don't think it matters on this sized quad (but some folks may be wondering).
I found RPM to help when descending smoothing prop wash. More importantly though, a high dynamic idle is awesome for angle mode stabilizing handling in low throttle situations.
Good point!
@@Quad66 Now I KNOW that you're correct, I just never really consider plastic frame quads to be performance machines. Sometimes (in my experience) reducing the filtering, that goes with proper rpm filter setup, can allow frame resonance to creep in.
Edit: My experience w/ troublesome resonance extends only to 75 and 85mm frames. The 65mm frames, I've little experience with filter tuning.
When you have all the batteries and chargers collected from reviews
NickBurns:...thumbnail
Oh, that isn't all my batteries. Sheesh, I spend a lot on batteries. I keep searching for hidden gem.
@@NickBurnsFPV well at least you have an excuse to spend this much on batteries 😂
I was hoping to see a your review of this, thank you
FrSky D16 is notoriously buggy. There's a large thread on RCgroups about the subject, general consensus is that Betaflight 4.1 & 4.11 are the only versions where D16 works reliably.
Hey Nick! Could you get more camera angel by putting a little homemade spacer (3d printed?) under the front and side screws for the canopy? I think that would work! I did it for another quad I have that came with no camera adjustment and it worked great. Let me know what you think! Nice review buddy! Go Braves! (Get ready, the Bravos may just be calling you up because their pitching staff is having one heck of a time of it. We essentially have ONE GUY as a Starter! Yup, ONE! Max Fried...after that, it's iny meany miny mo!) :)
Very nice .Is there a way yo install a buzzer on the Humminbird ? The ESC beacon is too weak for outdoor flying
I do not see where it has buzzer pads. We might be able to remap a unused resource map to the buzzer function.
@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks. Yes we could remap one of the pins but not sure if it could withstand the current draw. =)
I have the big brother of them and 2 hummingbirds that came in today. I have the issue where the motor plug disconnects on hard landings. I‘ll solder the motors directly
Maybe a touch of welder adhesive to keep them in?
Nick Burns that was my tought. Alltought I‘m gonna upgrade to crossfire and remove the weights of the connectors 💪🏽
Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone here. We haven't had any customers reporting that to us yet. I will look into solving that problem in the future!
chris wang Thank you for taking care 👍🏽 these were my only two time yet I had to do the walk of shame :) and thinking why but whyyyy is my motor already broken :) but luckly just the connector disconnected on a hard landing. Maybe a lil spot silicon glue to allow for easy replacement 👍🏽 These are by far the best whoops I own 💪🏽
I like/Hate your vids. I like cause they are really good videos. I hate cause they make me feel like I really suck at flying. Haha. 😢
So your telling me more crash footage? Oh I crash and some days I feel like that is all it do 🤪. Good to hear you enjoy the videos. Thank you
@@NickBurnsFPV Was jus kidding around. lol yeah maybe some crash footage would be nice. When i started a year ago i couldnt even make it around my big yard in acro mode without crashing, now i can actually get around inside for a min or so before crashing.. so theres hope! Lol. I just need more time on the sticks. Im really into the micro size stuff an your videos help tremendously. Thanks you!
@@JP-qq2kn oh I get it :). Stick time is training time. Maybe a computer sim for more time?
Great video as alway's!! love the info you share..and a great pilot aswell * CheersBro!
comment 😆😉
Shout out nick best reviews I really enjoy the reviews you I'm getting the uz65 today
It looks really smooth. I like the barrel roll
Right there with you about camera angle. I've yet to find a whoop canopy that I don't max out the canopy on. :)
If you had to pick this or the Mobula 6 which would you pick? Or more relevant question which indoor whoop do you prefer to fly as of 12/16/2020? Thanks and as always we appreciate your unbiased reviews.
I would go mobula6 for 1s. I really want adjustable camera angle and higher kv motors. I have swapped my mobula6 canopy over to the AE65 canopy. The humming birds are very good, in my opinion they are best for more freestyle flight, lower camera angle stuff.
FLYS GREAT UNTIL YOU CRASH AND THEN IT FLYS LIKE JUNK. IVE GONE THROUGH THREE OF THEM
I want it! :)
I wish I would have put the foam tape below the camera
During a crash the camera broke one of the esc’s
Dang, that hurts.
30 to 35 degrees seems to keep me fast and corner quicker. Whoop’n , less angle will do. Love your indoor flying skilz !
This fly’s way better than the mobula. Better range, better at acro freestyle. I liked it so much I bought two!
Do you do that so you plenty spares etc to keep them going? I also do this with my smaller whoops and BNF micros I buy. I wondered if others do haha.
I also didn't like the Mobula6 I still race my TH2 and S and still beat them easily as they are sooo much easier to be consistent. Im actually yet to see a quad come out to really fully compete with how controllable it is and the ability to just smash laps consistently with error.
Twins!! 🔥
Slow Entropy backup for IGOW 2
I always strike a deal when buying two. Even banggood will knock 15% off if you ask when buying multiple. Just a heads if you don't already ask :)
@@NickBurnsFPV whoop the world mate!! Haha I fly them sooooo much more than any other quad especially with my daughter being born now. Its a quick pack or two out front while I can. XT30 1S on my TH and she can powerloop, matty flip and fly for 3mins absolutely Max throttle on a 550mah. Its so much better than stock for a simple mod!!
PLEASE HELP..I've been trying to decide which tinywhoop to get and it's been months. I'm all about freestyle acro. Which 65 or 75 mm whoop do you think would be best for that style?
1s or 2s?
2s. I'd like one that's compatible 1s and 2s. Maybe the us65 pro? I love the acro flippy flops but also want to be able to slide around inside
@@brianfreland9065 I would go 75mm, much more capable outside and the flight time is far greater as well. An oldie but goodie is the mobula 7, doesn't look like betafpv offers a 1s and 2s whoop. The emax tinyhawk II does do 1s and 2s, but 2s flights are short. The NewBeeDrone acrobee might be an option. I don't believe I have flown those.
Thanks for the thoughts!
No way to get this outside the US? Anyone know?
Found it at DroneJunkie for 80 pounds british
Hi! Chris W from NewBeeDrone Here. If you have any FPV shops you think should carry our products, please let me know! We are looking for european distributors.
sweet lil kwad nick!
got one on the way myself!
How does this compare to mobula6? Which one would you prefer?
they are close but the mobula 6 weighs less so it will be more agile.
I agree cam angle adjustment definitely helps speed
This is the first whoop i have enjoyed flying outside more than inside. Not because it is bad inside, it is actually really good, but because it is soooo good at larger freestyle moves. So so good
Good to hear your enjoying it.
Needs more cam angle or bust.
Can you show me where the bind button is on the hummingbird please I'm new to this and this is my first bnf
There is a gold button on the top of the board near the rear. Press that after powering on via either usb or battery. Red light should flash after pressing the button. I think the button needs to be pressed for 2s. I think
thats a real nice tidy whoop nick nice review
I want this FC but I don't need a whole new quad 🤣
+1👍 💪
Quality. Product. I enjoy it a lot.
Nice quad. Sadly, no shipping to russia.
maybe dronejunkie.uk?
Bought two of these based on the flights you showed and it does fly nicely. However, my video range is horrible. Can't go to the end of my driveway without losing video, and going around the house is certainly not happening, though I can do that with both my Mobula6 and Mobula7. Has video range been an issue for anyone? I'm using Skyzone O30 goggles with a stick and a Bandit linear patch.
by chance are we on a near channel rather than the exact frequency? I haven't had this reported before, that leads me to my question.
Nick Burns That was also suggested by the excellent support group at Newbeedrone. Might have been the issue. I can now fly around house (only losing video for a second-always exciting). The video range is a bit worse than the Mobula6 but not by much. I’m always envious of the range you seem to get, both indoor and out. You can go around your whole block, while I can barely go around my house!
Hey Nick, Do you know if I can solder a crossfire to this board
it has spare rx and tx, I would think crossfire would be good. To be sure I would reach out to newbeedrone support.
They sure do make great little quads! More angle usually equates to more speed, especially for pilots like yourself.
Yepper. I suspect better pilots are able to racer around with low fixed angle, me not so much but I try
Will the tinyhawk rtf bundle controller bind to this?
Yes.
Ah and what is the difference between d8 and d16 does it affect the range? and when yes wich got the highest range?
Mostly it impacts radio compatibility. New frsky radios can’t do d8. Typically range is better with d16
Skills! Quality little whoop!
Awesome flying! Just received my Hummingbird, I have completely different diversity antennas, looks like NBD made some changes to it. I´m way far away flying like you Nick!!!
Lets see how I can fly with it, just setting it up.
I hope it serves you well. I have been hearing of changes, but haven't seen or experienced any of the changes.
@@NickBurnsFPV my antennas are way thinner, yellow colored. One is on the top of the FC and one on the bottom. Anyway I’m going to install a Crossfire Nano RX and probably an Unify Nano...
But first I need to learn how to fly whoops. First pack was ok, completely different when you started with 5“ copters 🤣
But it’s lot of fun! I guess there’ll be another whoop soon for me 😁
@@Right-Turn_FPV Whoops are a bit of a different animal, but I haven't flown a 5inch in years, I have flown 3-4 4inchers, but that is as big as I will get.
Can you share what your rates are on these indoor guys you rip around the house?
pitch and roll 1.2 super .75, yaw 1.3 super .8. Fairly high rates, but its what I use.
Are you keeping the battery secure with a rubber band?
No, I do use a rubberband on the mobula 6 frame.
How do you bind this, I just got mine and I can't find the bind button , please help , I have a radiomaster tx16s
bind button is gold and right in the middle of the bottom of the board, next to the large chip.
@@NickBurnsFPV for frsky its the same? plug bat. and bind button at the same time?
@@galifpv6944 On this the bind button, is the only bind button, regardless of rx protocol (flysky, frsky)
Got one of these, it didn't want to bind to my X9D, plugged it into BF to see if I could get it to bind through the CLI, and the FC died. Disconnected itself from BF and refuses to reconnect. Get the message, "USB device has malfunctioned and is not recognized by Windows". Never spun a prop..
Bought it from NBD a while back and just now got around to messing with it, sooo.. 30 day warranty has passed and I'm out $80..
I would still contact them, 30days or not I would think they would support the product. My suggestion is to run the impulserc driver fixer and run that. It takes a few minutes on my old computer then unplug usb and plug it back in. Also try another usb cable just in case
@@NickBurnsFPV Tried 2 different cables (both of which work on other FCs), and tried the Impulse RC Driver Fixer, it won't recognize it either. Some of the lights (LEDs) come on, but nobody is home.
I'll open a ticket with NBD and see what happens..
@@hillbillyfpv3 Dang, support is the way to go then. I have confidence they will get it sorted out.
@@NickBurnsFPV You're right, we got it sorted. Had to do a full firmware reflash and all good.
@@hillbillyfpv3 Nice, glad to hear they were able to get things corrected.
How does it stack up against meteor?
I suspect the speed is about the same but this one is likely better for more creative freestyle flight
Very nice. Does it do flsky? That board design looks like you may be able to get a 65mm whoop frame size but with the next prop size up like that other new whoop that's out, but I forget it's name.
The US65? and 35mm props? We would have to add a flysky receiver
@@NickBurnsFPV the uz65. 65mm frame with 35mm props. Maybe this fc board will fit that frame.
@@engizmo not down in the frame. The uz65 board has a different design that is more narrow, that is how they got 35mm props and it remains 65mm.
So good thanks for sharing! Looking for my first brushless whoop and think I might go with this one. Would you recommend this one of the AcroBee? I will be running crossfire.
I would go this one as its less expensive. The only advantage the acrobee has is its 2s compatible.
@@NickBurnsFPV thanks so much for answering! Have a great weekend!
@@NickBurnsFPV one more question... what parallel charging board would you recommend for these small batteries? If you share a link I’ll use your affiliate 😜 love you content!
@@wynnfpv This is the only 1s parallel charging board I have used, and I think it might be the only one on the market currently. www.racedayquads.com/collections/battery-chargers-accessories/products/the-flying-sandal-1s-parallel-charging-board?aff=15
Little ripper Nick...TFS?😎👍
TFS? Does that stand for something I am not hip to?
Pretty sweet, I just ordered the iflight a65, can u do a review on that?
Thanks!
I think it’s coming but I have no idea when. It was to arrive weeks ago 😫
Nick Burns ohh got it, that sucks, mine comes Friday
Holy shit it flys very nice
Good video again :D
I heard you never should fly a lipo under 3,5v after landing is that right?
Normally with bigger batteries that is absolutely true, but with those small 1s lipos you can drain them more.
To second Lukas, essentially you want to make sure that you don't overdischarge the Lipo, so that after flying you have a resting voltage of 3.5-3.7V. What that corresponds to during flight depends on the current draw and what the battery is comfortable providing, often with the small batteries you go down to 3.2-3.3V during hovering and it will go back up to 3.6-3.7 after the flight.
As others have comment for best battery health we shouldn’t discharge to far below 3.5v. I typically shot for disarming with the resultant voltage very close to 3.5v/cell. I don’t always do it, sometimes intentionally.
Best 1s lipo ?
The newbeedrone golds are the best 300mah on the market.
just got mine today cant figure out how to bind it to my qx7
Have you bound a quad before?
@@NickBurnsFPV yes i was expecting the flashing red light to stop or turn green. It did not but it is bound now. Fun quad wish the flights were longer.
Are you getting less than what I did in the video
Had fun making this video shortly after I got my F41S! Love it for freestyle, don't mind the cam angle because it matches my freestyle setup. Nice flying as always, Nick! ua-cam.com/video/9NxbYcwg_F0/v-deo.html
does somebody know how to get these cheap in europe?
Try drone junkie
@@NickBurnsFPV thank you. would order from NDB directly, but around 35$ shipping fees are too much. and also it gets counted towards the max bill before hefty tax applies
@@Monolize shipping from the US internationally is pretty rough, and I believe they use tracking so even more expensive. Then there is a taxes :(
@@NickBurnsFPV here in germany too. after 150€ the custom duties rise dramatically
Love your reviews your an awesome pilot
Thank you
