It depends on which receiver I use. With the ceramic antenna "elrs" receiver the max has been 400-500m. Of course it could go further, but I haven't tried. The signal is stable enough at 100-200m.

Everyone's experience is different. I don't know where it is hyped because I haven't seen many 1s 2 inch builds. I really like this combo because it flies completely different than a 2.5 inch. It is more responsive , allows for sharper maneuvering. For me its the 3inch 1s hype that comes across everywhere. Some people love it ,but I only got a sluggish and powerless build (it got heavy ,so I am to blame). But who needs what they want or like, so use it. 2.5 inch is perfectly fine ,my first "serious" quad was the "Leader120" for me. I loved it (still have it). I like to fly several quads because it's nice to try things out. ;)

​@TargetFPV you may try a unibody frame and a 1s super light board. I did it with the diamond f4 from crazybee, you have a 200mw vtx and a spi elrs included, a light canopy and you're good to go! Just mind motors: happymodel 1202.5 are good, same as the flywoo (even more powerful). I suggest use a bt2.0 plug!

@@francescorobotti8341 Thanks for the info! I have the motor RCinpower 1202.5 11500kv. However I have 9g 3 inch frame only (trueRC) and also not very light fc/esc+vtx+rx+cam+canopy ,so the end result is 50g dry. I would save a few grams with a diamondF4 , maybe I will give it a try ! Although I do have a diamonf4 on a whoop (frsky) ,but I don't want to take it apart.

Thank you!

Small changes, like the descent speed, but I'll have to find out. It still descends a bit fast.

It has a flight controller and INAV firmware, so you can fly with gyro (stabilized mode). The basic factory model had only a simple receiver. It can handle a small fpv camera easily ,although it is no longer on it ,because my father only flies it in LOS anyway. I have to play with the CG a bit more but it still flew well.

Thank you! There is nothing special about it, you just need to know what is needed to make an fpv quad work. There are many videos of builds or motor, prop, frame combinations and you can get ideas from them. After a while you can try things out, I like to build as well to try new things. I like these tiny quads because you can charge more batteries at the same time, they are less noisy, so they don't bother anyone. Assembly is a bit more fiddly , because everything is tiny , the screws are the solder points and everything has to be compressed into a small frame. Of course, it doesn't always go well the first time, as it didn't for me on one of my builds. I have already rebuilt it at home :) that's the hobby!

the building is the easy part. flying FPV is much harder than building them. If you dont have any electronics experience, you will need to learn that first. unless youre a big fan of electronics and tinkering with things, building them is not cost/time effective

@@phearz0r Well of course knowing electronics helps a lot, I was brought up in soldering tin fumes because my father is a TV repairman. I have always liked to tinker, but a toothpick/quad construction can catch me out (for a while). How big a spacer and screw do I need, where do I stuff the beeper, receiver and vtx (if separate) in the non-existent place. Tiny solder joints in impossible places or 3x disassembled quad on which something does not work. Then disassembling it causes a wire to come off... There are of course connector solutions and aio with everything on it, that can make it easy. But of course everyone has a different view ;)

looks lke Flywoo Firefly Nano

It's just a toothpick. Custom build

Edited: I was wrong, nothing flywoo on this one. (sorry about the other quad lookalike)

@@TargetFPV the canopy looks just like the firefly, also the purple colors are very flywoo

@@phearz0r I only have a few flywoo stuff ,but this canopy BetaFPV, the old kind I really like. The purple is just the cable tie on it :) The frame is completely custom ,a pilot's own design ,I believe (TOOTHPIKFRITE frame). I managed to buy two of them ,but they are no longer available unfortunately (2.5 inch 3 hole) so no stock.

That's good to hear. I had these two meteor frames (+1 75pro) ,but I couldn't fit any other battery in the holder ,that's why I bought it. I only have 300mah of blue batteries ,but even those last well. I use 450mah batteries more for toothpicks, they are a bit old and used up (and I have ph2.0 ones which I might convert to bt2.0). I will be curious to see about these for toothpicks. One whoop with 1002 motor is enough battery eater ,but it lasted 2 and a half minutes of intense flight. Of course I didn't even dip too much I landed around 3.5-3.6. I am glad better quality batteries are available from other sources and not expensive.

@@TargetFPV beta FPV lava are the best tinywhoop batteries rn imo. I'm using them for all my birds. especially the 300s. great on bubito and meteor 65

The combination of motor and prop makes it efficient enough to fly longer. Up to 5-6 minutes.

Nagyon szépen köszönöm!

I think it is perfectly usable as a fpv camera. Of course there is a slight delay, but I don't find it distracting (at least for me). I also had this camera on a 3 inch toothpick frame and it was usable on that too. Good little cine quad for me anyway ,I try not to touch it (rebuild it)

It cannot be used unfortunately. This is analog video system and ELRS radio receiver.

@@TargetFPV damn. Could you link the parts please?

@@c2819fnf In the description is the list

There's rarely a calm around here, so I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I flew with a 450mah battery and the weight was 55g

TuneRC EZ F411 1-2S AIO (No RX)

@@TargetFPV thanks👍😁

​@@TargetFPV great fc!!🚀🙌🏼

@@ludofevrier5593 Yes, easy to solder

Thank you! 48g with 450mah battery

Stock remote control nothing extra. Mode 2 so left stick up and down for thrust, right and left for rudder. Right stick right-left pitch, up-down climb or descent.

That's a good idea ;) You can fly it in places where 5 inches can be too much.

I've only done 1 battery with it now ,so with this motor ,but will try it with a slightly bigger battery then :) I had a quad with 40mm prop and 1102 10000kv motor on 2s that was so "throwable" ,but I've gutted it since then ,maybe I'll put it together 1x more ;) Now with the 1103 11000kv motor (which was on this Bassline before) I put together a 1s 2.5" quad ,I'd like to try it this weekend.

@TargetFPV oh, upload a vid if you run the 1103 on 2.5" that may be the sweet spot

I also order from here, it is EU, but they may ship to other countries. You can also get a frame and camera if they have them in stock. www.drone-fpv-racer.com

flywoo has a large selection of components

Of course, the glasses are analogue, so they all work with analogue quads. The radio also works with several quads ,now I am trying to change the receivers of some of my quads to ELRS (my new radio is like that). My older quads work with my other radio.

@@TargetFPV you can conect all analog systems with all analog glasses and analog controller right🤔🤩. And sorry my English is not good I'm from Germany 😐

@@AaronMilke-ls8ko Glasses and Vtx are analog. All analog components are interoperable. But ELRS is not a video codec. ELRS is the protocol the radio controller uses to talk to the receiver on the quadcopter. The receiver then talks to the flight controller.

The turtle mode works indoors and in short grass, and it's good to have it, but in taller grass it's almost impossible to get out with a whoop or micro. And on dusty ground, even if you manage to flip it over, it may not take off (sometimes it will). I also take a landing pad with me because these little things don't cut the grass around them :)

It only runs on 2s because that's all this AIO (x12) can do. Maybe with a smaller engine it could be good with 1103 for example . 2 blade prop only tried it indoors ,but it was louder , but it could last longer in the air. So it's pretty good now ,not perfect of course ,but I'll only know if I try it.

@@TargetFPV thats the exact setup I'm building. I have a jhemcu ruibet that can only do 2s and the highest kv budget motors I could find were 7500kv so hopefully it'll fly just fine on 2 s with 4 blade props.

@@carterdavis5176 I tried it first with 1204 5000kv motors, but it didn't even get off the ground. Same motor on 2s 2.5" and 3" performs well ,effective. I searched for another motor and found this 1303 and the chart said the 4-blade 2020 (D51) prop was the most effective with it. I might try a 3-blade prop to see if it lasts longer. 2-3 minutes is about what it lasts now. I can't find any tests, so I'll have to experiment.

There are some, but they have accumulated over several years. I often rebuild some of them.

It can be very handy, I can charge 2-3s batteries up to two (I have 2 chargers) ,but 1s batteries up to 6 at a time with a serial board. I also have usb chargers that charge 4 at a time. On the other hand, they are not so obtrusive (less noise) when I fly with them. ;)

How much did ur drone cost? I might make one but I need a budget drone

@@astr0yt344 Unfortunately, you can't get out very cheaply. It is usually more expensive to build, but you choose the parts. BNF drones can sometimes be found cheaper, but rarely these days. BNF versions now don't even have 1s 2"-2.5" toothpick only 1.6" (40mm prop) that I have seen. They start from 150usd. The video description has the parts I used for this drone. You can work out roughly what it costs ,but where I live everything is much more expensive (I pay the highest taxes in the EU) and my salary is at least a third of what it is elsewhere ,so I can't give a realistic price value. As a base I would suggest a good aio like the HM X12 elrs which has both vtx and erls receiver. Camera could even be a caddx ant. BetaFPV canopy. the frame should be preferably light and well designed (a bit harder to find on the net). Motor and prop are more readily available.

I already have a transmitter for my rc planes I just have to make the drone thanks for the info

@@astr0yt344 Or you look for a cheap BNF with fitting components and rebuild it ;)

Hello! First I would try using the default settings and activate it with a switch to see what it does. There are many factors involved ,what type of drone (hover throttle), do you have enough satellites (8 maybe) is the home arrow pointing the right direction etc. If the drone does this on failsafe then the hover throttle is not set correctly ,but I could be wrong. There are separate videos on gps rescue setup and a description on betaflight site worth looking through.

The drone was assembled from pieces. Skyzone Cobra X V2 goggles and radiomaster pocket radio

@@TargetFPV thanks 😃 can I connect the goggles an the controller with every drone. And I am from Gremanny my English is terrible 😐

@@AaronMilke-ls8ko There are four types of video systems for image transmission. One analog and 3 digital (HDzero, Walksnail and dji) and they are not compatible with each other. So if you choose an analogue drone you need analogue glasses. There are also several protocols for radio (frsky,flysky etc. and now popular is ELRS). The drone should also have the receiver that matches the radio. So a drone with ELRS receiver works with ELRS radio. There are also multi-protocol radios that can do more than one, but they need a separate elrs module. There are KITs which contain everything and are a good start e.g.: betafpv cetus kit. It's worth looking into what to buy etc. there are quite good descriptions. e.g.: oscarliang.com

@@TargetFPV thanks

Ich habe auch mit einer cetus pro angefangen. Super Teil für den Anfang. Sehr stabil und langlebig. Nur die Brille ist mist, weil man den Fokus der Augen nicht anpassen kann. Ansonsten machst du mit einer cetus nichts falsch. Super starter Set. 😊

Perhaps it reminds you of the bubito because it was "inspired" by the iflight baby nano nazgul. :)

It comes out to about 170usd with 4 batteries. But you can get it cheaper with a bnf quad. E.g.: Happymodel Crux3 1S is a 3 inch, but the price is around 120usd. Practice even indoors with a whoop is good ,even flying in tighter spaces can help. A mobula6 or 7 can take a crash pretty well and the frame is not too expensive if it breaks. They are even good to practice with outside (if there is not much wind) . But be sure to ask other people's opinions ,it is worth getting information from several sources! I am just a hobby pilot ;)

@@TargetFPV thank you for taking time to write a detailed answer! I am also a hobby pilot, I recently built my first fpv quad. My fpv skills are bad, I can just do some cinematic flying, with flips and power loops performed up in the air, away from obstacles.

@@Sleeperknot You're welcome! I forgot to mention the fpv sim as an option, because it can help a lot. In it you can practice manoeuvres that you don't dare to do in real life. But you can also try tricks with the 5inch on grass. You can try it higher at first, then lower and lower to the ground. Of course I was afraid to crash my quads , but the crash is part of the fpv. Of course you don't have to break them into pieces ,but most of them can take a small fall.

I have written the components in the description.

Custom built toothpick fpv quad

Hi! Sadly no, this have ELRS recevier.

one more question, please, what kind of controller and goggles you use? Thanks!

@@quanvu6005 Skyzone Cobra x V2 goggle and radiomaster pocket radio (and Jumper T8SG plus sometime)

Thanks! I'm pushing the poor quad hard and the batteries (450mah) are pretty worn out. With newer and bigger (550-750) batteries it might last longer ,but I carry more so I fly more. With slower calmer flying it will last a little bit longer.

Thank you!

Thank you!

The m10 is a great thing, but for me the gps is interesting in itself. I have already lowered the descent rate ,but I still need to lower it a bit. Of course it's better to take control at the end ,but I was so impressed with this landing that I just blinked. Now I have 2 extra m10 mini gps modules one I will put on a flying wing the other maybe on a plane (with inav). Interesting how much technology is improving nowadays (everything is getting smaller)

​@@TargetFPVyou're right! These things have become much smaller and efficient. I have a TBS Discovery 10 inch drone running Ardupilot, and the gps module in that (M7 I suppose) is much larger and heavier. It also has a compass. Now Betaflight doesn't even need a compass and that itself is interesting.

I have a relatively light toothpick frame 3 inch quad that I tried with a 1204 5000kv motor. It flies quite well at 2-3s - just my opinion of course. :)
