My review of the Emax EZ Pilot Pro - • The best low-budget FP...
It’s actually quite impressive to see a company understand the demographic they’re catering to. This seems very good for beginners and at a reasonable price point to grab everything you need to get started. I’m only half way through the video but this seems like something I’d actually get my kids
I'm 60, and that's like configuring your character in a new FPS, or when you upgrade. I love it. They definitely know how to cater to their demo. like you said. Just like Bud Light.🤣
8:30 Watch how he slams the throttle way up, but the drone is like "okay, you want to take off, I gotcha"
Something about that is impressive to me.
Watching Quinn fly the drone was my favorite part of the video. He sure looked like he was having fun. There aren't many quadcopters this kid friendly.
@@ddegn this is so true! average toy drones either have crappy wifi fpv so everything is slow this thing actually gives fpv to a kid without the "mom my whoop exploded" and heck the minimum amount of flight time is a badge for future pilots to actually tell parents "yo im serious gimme better drone i got 100 hours of flighttime and its still flying and now i want to go outside" might actually scoop one of these up in the future since that altitude hold looks kinda fun
You were so right - the first thing he did was full stick deflection, yet he had a relatively controlled and successful first flight. That's pretty amazing really.
Not only Josh but someone at Hisingy has paid attention to kids playing video games or with an RC car. ITs always the first thing they do. Feel out the control limits regardless of what happens. Think about the first time you hopped on a dirtbike or in a car, you wanted to feel the limit of that gas pedal and brake pedal.
Great job Quinn!! So glad you could check it out Joshua. We were really impressed with this kit, hope more people can give it a try as well!
I think it would be more interesting if the price was below 200 dollars. The current price is just way too high
@@fpv-teacher Thanks for your feedback. The quality on this kit is really high, they did not cut corners, so the price seems to match. The goggles alone are over $230 if you were to get a similar set from Fat Shark. The biggest factor we think is the really impressive app that goes along with this kit, which makes it so beginner friendly. We're excited to see all the new people a product like this can help bring into the FPV hobby.
@@GetFPV the problem I see is that you cannot grow with this set. If you want to continue Fpv you have to invest again into goggles and a decent controller and a better quad. Maybe you could sell the set but how much would you get for it after some time. I recommend beginners to buy a kit that they can grow with and this will save more money in the long term doing the hobby. Of course the app is probably the part where they need to recover the costs from investment. We will see and follow how the product will do on the market. Here in Europe we probably won't even see this in the shops so soon or at all.
@@fpv-teacherBut I feel this kit is more for it to be a fun toy with wich a kid plays for a time and doesn't upgrade further, not realy an introduction kit to the fpv hobby
@@Player-bt8je might be as well.
So cute to have your son on the channel. Soon there will be one more Fpv Pilot 😁
Proud of ya..U GO DAD👍 A good intro toy.Game(like), challenge/education !!!
GENERATE INTEREST
What a fun moment Joshua this made my day! Thanks You,👍
Awesome vid. Bro.! Too much fun watch a new person flying. He did great!
Awesome home video of getting your kid into the hobby. Love it❤
I really like the performance points and achievements section. I think that's a great way to slowly take the training wheels off. Great review. 😎
Glad to see you getting Quin into fpv. Wish i had this when i was teaching my son to fly, he learned straight fpv after learning on a sim. Great video JB, thanks for sharing.
Really like the opening change up with Joshua from the past. Great video JB. Thanks
Fantastic flying and review, Joshua! 😃
It's amazing to see your kid enjoying it! Kudos!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This is a perfect product for getting kids into the hobby. Love this!
Precious, loved watching Quinn get excited!
WOW! That is so cool Joshua! Looks like a great product. The emergency stuff from their video is similar to what we see in rides in Disney. That was so entertaining!
I've been working with them for quite a while and they are absolutely phenomenal people and super smart. They are all super duper cool aerospace engineers
This is a great review and a product I want to get now. So thank you!
Thank you for showing the advances towards ease of use!
My favorite video from your channel, Bardwell!
Awesome beginner setup!
May buy this for my kids
Bro thats wholesome af... and an actual review situation it was designed/marketed for...👌
That product is made of pure work and thought for beginners
Dude super cool you put your kid on there. That's awesome for us dads to see.
Great video, and great product!
Great video cool seen Quinn so big . Thank you.
After seeing your kid fly it. I am sold. Need to get one of these for each of my kids.
We can all agree this is a great idea! They really thought of everything to keep the newbie interested all while limiting their controls until they learn. Now let’s see you take it apart and see what’s inside!!
13:24 same 🥲
This is awesome to get young kids into FPV and RC flying in general. This could replace other RTF kits for school programs. Something for the other manufacturers to think about.
Congratulations to Aaron , Ben and the people from Hisingy who have put their hearts in this project. I know them … they are well known pilots in the FPV community here in China, especially in Beijing… Aaron is a great FPV pilot often working offering aerial support shots for tv commercials and other similar projects in the film industry…I’ve heard of this project since it was in the womb!!! 😂… it’s a very competitive industry especially here in China… so … my best wishes for these entrepreneurs… and remember … fly safe!!!❤ Thanks Mr. Bardwell for such a comprehensive review as usual!
In your honest opinion, do you believe that this is the very best fpv drone for a brand new beginner, for the money, as of today’s date?
@@airadaimagery692 The firmware is really well created... quite friendly... and the whole concept of it like if it was a videogame with rewards and stuff... the PID tuning is stupidly easy even though you really dont know what you are doing but you can tune it according to your needs and what you want. For me the only issue is that the googles are analog... Im too used to digital... but if I had a kid, I would not hesitate. Now, there are others in the market for a third of the price but this company being small at the moment makes me think that they would be more careful with updates and improvements as what they are looking for is to grow with quality and targeting young people or people with zero experience.
Cute! Would have loved to have something like this when I was getting started.
Man, when I got the notification for this clip, I said to myself: how could JB miss the hype😊 and I did not watch it. Today I did watch it, and I just want to say that you made me buy one. Best review for this thing.👍
This thing looks so cool. My 6yo will love it !!
I just got it for my six-year-old granddaughter it should be here Friday!
Hey Quinn! Great job! And Belated Happy Father’s day, Mr. Bardwell!
Great video Joshua. It was awesome seeing you and your son share that memory together, and it honestly made me tear up a little (in a good way of course). Always look forward to your videos, keep it up man.
Awesome video josh
I had a little drone like this that wasn’t fpv but it’s what led me to fpv in short order. Pretty cool.
Something I’d get my kid if I had one.
Also, some luscious hair your kid has JB!
Bardwell its a beautful thing seeing your familly in videos man! Makes me luv ya even more.
OMG, these littles are growing up so fast! My own youngest is 12yo now and up to my nose. Cool! Keep on crushing you two.
your boy is grown. Congratulations JB 😀
I like this one - seems like a great starter kit -
That's awesome how it kinda turns it into an app game for kids to help drive them to get better. 👍
Was looking for this a few years back and was nowhere to be had. Pretty neat and glad to see it. The closest I could find was the EMAX that really didnt seem like good value for money for a teenager / smaller kid. This I could see working quite well.
Super cool to see your mini minion man!! Miss the days when mine went everywhere with me flying!! Thanks for sharing your family with us old friend!!
Ok, I'm 67 and flew General Aviation until my heart went bad. I've never flown a drone very well. I'm seriously hoping that this little drone will get me started in FPV and help me advance.
Joshua advises a tinyhawk kit and I may go that way instead.
Heck I just want to fly again.
Holy crap how is he 4 years old already?? Man time flies. Crazy
great vid, the thing we have to keep reminding ourselves of is finding easy ways to get people started, and this looks like a great way to get people hooked. it reminded me of the.... think it was eachine, they had a toy quad that had wheels and could transition from ground to air and back again, and the chap from hawai, i forget his name, started off assuming he was gonna prove it was just awful, but by the end of the review he was giggling and lolling like a big kid. i still think a quad with wheels and little race courses with driving sections would be great fun for everybody, including 200lbs kids. hisingy... good job, not gonna complain about the price, good job everybody.
Awesome!!
"Have you ever flown a quadcopter before?"
"Yes"
🤣
I think that looks like a great kit. I wish it was available 7 years ago when we were all trying to get folks into the hobby with us =)
It was cool seeing your kid have a blast with that toy
4:00 - well, holy cow, there it is! I wish I would have known all this on June 1 when I made my first foray into FPV! I'll try to keep this short - I'm Paul, I'm a total noob FPV-er, and I have NOT been having 'fun' thus far - on June 1, bought my first beginner kit - BETAFPV Cetus X - had flight sims ready to learn on, but the included radio in my kit was a NIGHTMARE getting detected by my PC. When I finally 'fixed' that, I had no communication with the quad itself! EIGHT DAYS over the course of communicating with my RETAILER by messages, We finally got BOTH problems solved (complete Betaflight CLI re-writes) Ready for a first SIMPLE, no-trick flight, just the basic movements outside - up, up she goes - wait come back, where ya going STOOOP! - the Cetus X quad is gone forever. I looked 2 full days in daylight for it, I saw it come down what could have been a MILE or 2 from my location. It ain't getting found. :/
Next paycheck comes in, and I get a heavier quad which surely should be harder to lose! GEPRC Cinebot 30 ELRC Nubula 6S. Bound successfully to the radio that was part of the Cetus X kit (BETAFPV LiteRadio 3). In the city, in my friend's backyard, I decided to carefully get this Cinebot flying low again, just in the yard and slowly. Big heavy 6S 1100mah battery strapped in tight. Arm, push up geeennntly on the left stick ... WHOOSH up it ZIPS, NOT straight up, I panic, bring stick back down, DOWN she flashes, SMASHES hard on to the roof of the neighbor's garage, bounces on to my friend's garage roof, then falls to an inaccessible area between the two garages. I was going to use a stepladder to get up over the fence and retrieve it, but my friend says "Just try to fly it out". That actually worked - I thought. I bumped a few times up its way up trying to escape the enclosed area. All of a sudden it WHOOSHES to the right, I notice THICK WHITE SMOKE suddenly coming from it, it SMASHES at a very high speed in to my friends fence on the other side of the yard, still excessive white smoke, I run full speed up to it, disconnect the already dislodged 6S battery - which is INSANELY hot and swelling.I leave it on the cement block sidewalk and stand far away from it, fearing a LiPo explosion. The part of the quad that was smoking? Battery strap. A hole burned right through it. I removed it, and was able to see a lot of the F7 flight controller board under the alloy frame. It had what burned off the strap COOKED right on to it. The battery sitting on the cement, CONTINUED to swell and the temperature of it rose for awhile ... but settled down about 45 minutes later. I had it safely disposed of.
Imagine a city with about a million population, where this happened (Winnipeg), had NOT ONE store specializing in FPV drone hobbyists gear, drones or accessories,... my safest bet the following day, was 'Eliminator RC' who sold me a cheap 4S battery and plug adapter. Ultimately, I just wanted to test with this battery, if the Cinebot 30 would light up when connected. It didn't - in fact, only being plugged in not even five seconds, I saw brief smoke from the 'cooked-on' guck on the FC just briefly - but THAT 4S BRAND-NEW BATTERY - GOT SUDDENLY REALLY HOT AND SWELLED UP LIKE ITS PREDECESSOR THE DAY BEFORE!! So I threw that one away too, and felt very discouraged for the following 3 days - at how I invested $1600 CDN in to TWO purchases, NEITHER one I could even fly ultimately EVEN ONCE. NO ONE MENTIONED THE LUCK FACTOR HERE. I thought, like I said, this was supposed to BE FUN?!?!
My first plan to get into this, was buying the DJI AVATA Pro Kit. I should have STUCK with that plan, and most DEFINTELY will, come my next paycheck. ... Sorry... yes it DID get long here (but I had lots to say, and I'm glad I got it out. If you're reading this still - thanks so much for reading and taking in, my "FIRST TIME Getting In To FPV book, Chapter One: How NOT to start in FPV" The Cinebot's getting fixed, and I still have my AMAZING DJI Air 2S - over a year and NOT ONE CRASH. Actually, I really like the Nasgul Evoques - one of those will be after the AVATA kit purchase. I'm NOT quitting something that looks like so much fun!!!! The answer is in the settings on the radio sticks!!!!
They grow up so fast! 🎉 nice looking quad
My lord JB... The kids a natural... It took me like a year and some change to fly That good.. Little turkey! Tell him I need some pointers. :) 😮😮😮😮
Best video ever!
I think it’s a great way to start fpv for children. Unlike most hobby quadcopters that requires adult supervision, this can be put in the hands of a 5 to 12 years old child and they’ll be able to learn by themselves and have fun. Usually children don’t like to have an adult constantly telling them what to do. With this they can learn by themselves, make mistakes and start over.
Nice job on bringing the kid in im sure it got more clicks. Hes a cute kid for sure. He might be just a little young for it lol. Awesome review bardwell.
Omg your kid is adorable!
Beginners will always ay ta personal "Thank you🎉
thank yoy you🎉🎉
So cool! Love this video so much! #stayepic
If you combined it with the Ryze Tello's programmability and battery life, you'd have the perfect mini-drone for STEM education.
very cool. Im on an emax budget so Ill watch that one. Thanks
Adorable kid!
Ecellent video I think a good way to get started on a life long interest. Flying and building on your own is not easy I only had you that's why I give you a small stipend each month because you've earned it.
That Little Jimmy, XD Great Content
Well my son is definitely flying with me soon 🎉🎉
Nice!
Looks like an awesome quad to get especially young people into FPV! I kinda like the emax choice though because the pro version has a way to advance and still be in the emax product line.
Great video. 😊❤👍
Ordering one today…what’s the battery so we can order more….couldn’t find it. Thanks for your awesome videos. Our granddaughter will love it. We have over 35 drones with our filming business and you have taught us so much over the years.
Cool, anyway its a good toy.... waiting that my daughter grow up - to buy one of this ;)
Joshua Thanks !!!
hello mister bardwell :) love the work mate.
That is so cool
Great video. Nice to see it in action with a beginner! 🙂 would be cool if it had an admin mode where you could just unlock everything
Lucky kid. He gets to learn something EVERY day. 🙂
I kind of want to buy one of these myself I love how they've set up their app 😂
I seen this on infinity loops last week. Seems real good for introducing the newer or beginner flyer. I could see how much fun you were having with your boy.
nice one
We just got ours in today, and it has been awesome. Our son is 4yrs old and he's only flown in the simulator on level mode in Liftoff. He had a blast and is sleeping with the drone now. :) The only thing not great so far has been the face foam with the velcro on the thorny side hurting his face. need to figure that out quick. I was able to use my hdzero goggles and analog module to be fpv with him while he flew for the first time. we also flew together with him on the stargazer and me on a mob6 - so much fun!
So you’re saying that you can fly this drone with the supplied headset, and also use your personal googles, so the both of you can have fpv while one of you controls this drone?
@@airadaimagery692 Yes - so cool! I was using hdzero goggles to ride “shotgun” with the tbs fusion analog module . he was flying with the rc and I was watching and recording with the onboard dvr. couple things - they don’t make it easy nor even have a support email address. i can’t figure out how to buy extra batteries, and the app is just a bit confusing. It’s not bad and the great overall experience for kids. Overall still very much worth it in my opinion, but I can see some folks potentially having challenges potentially if they need to contact support.
I think your sons gonna steal the show Josh! He’s definitely gonna pull the views in for your channel.👍
Im still playing with nano drones (Ive got a SkyRocket Dash and a 4DRC Pocket Elf (4DV2)) as well as a Snaptain S5C Pro and a Propel Star Wars X1 Advanced (Darth Vaders)) TIE fighter drone. The Propel drone (I'll just call it the X1 or TIE from here on) used to have a app that had a virtual tutorial that you used in alternate reality to get the muscle memory with the controller without you taking the chance of really screwing up the X1. The Propel controllers for the Star Wars collection (I dont think they did anything else, I dont know the Propel web site now is just a review site for the Star Wars drones rather than a website that would be a frontage for a business for the drones.) has a neat feature; you can turn off 'Repulsar Mode', which turns off the altitude hold and locks the control stick to self center, so that you can eventually work your way up to flying with a actual RC controller. It has a lanyard attachment nub and with a little bit of 'repurposing', I bet I could even make a set of 'goggles'...oh wait no camera so no matter how much I tinker I cant make phone goggles. But it was almost possible. Sadly Propel went under the app is no longer available in the apple store so I cant install it on my iPhone(2nd Gen SE) and I understand you have to use a VPN to side load it from a UK based android store. And while my experience with quads is minimal of the 4 drones I have the Propels controller is closer to a actual RC flight controller (like a Futaba, my best friends brother flys Balsa RC Planes so I do have some exposure to the real RC controllers). (Oh and Addendum here I did a little looking and Propel did have other drones than the Star Wars series which is where I found out I can trim the X1 without the App (which is the only way the instruction/owners manual tells you to do so. Woohoo! no more fighting against that damn right drift!)
Baby Bardwell was Ripping the sticks!!!!
Fireeeeeeee🚀🚀🚀🚀
Is your house the scenario from the Liftoff simulator?
at 10:48 looks so much alike one of the scenarios!
Pretty cool. Looks like you have a Young Ripper in the making
As an experienced RC pilot. This is really cool, despite the price. I want to recommend it to a lot of people.
Love that Red Baron pizza. It’s good stuff in a pinch. 😜 8:00
Great beginner craft. If I didn't see the fact that the kid was using full stick deflection I would assume they spent years flying
I want to fly in black in white lol reminds me of the old tvs . I had a portable black n white tv back in the day haha 😂
The ez pilot pro is a great starting point. My wife uses them in her classroom (middle schoolers) and u can use the controller on a sim.
Emax has good/bad points with it.. but for a 1s, brushless, fpv set up.. it’s worth it.
This new set up looks AMAZING!, lots of starting info, no beta flight to deal with.. but $400 is a lot to swallow..with no acro progression… but it is a great option..
It’s like a Tello with goggles….
I started my FPV addiction with an EZ Pilot, gave several out as gifts, and recommend them all the time. Killer product. This looks even easier to use!
I want this for my daughter so bad. She's 5 and does great with a little cheap 40$ Amazon 1s. She said she wants a camera and goggles!
Hey! She stayed out of the pool. She must not watch Dad fly his woops outside to learn his bad habits😂
Cetus and EZ Pilot have pro version. It will be amazing if the Stargazer have an Enterprise version.
Ga ga gu gu Quinn is now 4 yr old so sweet time flies
Wow, 4 yrs already! Time flies when you're old... That said, this is a very cool product. I would have killed for something like that when I was a kid. Have to commend your patience, I'd have ripped into that box like a honey badger.
They grow up so fast 😊
Your son is already a better pilot than me. AWESOME.
