3.5" is the best sub-250g FPV freestyle platform | GEPRC Smart35

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The Emax Babyhawk II HD is in stock today at Emax AliExpress store. It is very similar to the GEPRC Smart35 but has the Nebula Pro camera. Based on Emax reputation for great flying bind n fly, and because the Nebual Pro is such a better camera, I would choose the Babyhawk II HD over the GEPRC if I had the chance. bit.ly/3Bl1ITJ

The quad weighs 122g without the battery, and with a 650mah 4s pack it weighs 202g, giving ample room for a naked GoPro under 250g. This setup flies for a good 6-7 minutes, even with aggressive flying, on that small of a battery, and the battery voltage barely sags at all. Overall it behaves really nicely.

The Babyhawk II HD has a Nebula Pro so it doesn't compromise on the image quality. Mine has a similar issue with propwash and I haven't been able to tune it out yet. However it is a very quiet build - I'm running Chris Rosser's filter settings for a clean build and have the D gain up to 55 with very cool running motors. The delta frame design is great for minimizing resonance.

[@johncarold]

Hi Josh As you know I love Micros. I have 18 different sizes and shapes of quads. There are 3-5in and 2- 4in and 1-DJI Mini and the rest are 3in. Now I have 3in in 3s up to 6s. But my best and lightweight is my 4in 6s SKYHOPPER, it came in at 182gm with 6s 450ma lipo. And YES it's FUN !!! But it is very easy to break. The arms are thin and I'm running a 16X16 flight stack. But it just seems to work. I just would not be able to do what I could do with that frame and electronics. Thanks again for the video and information.

[@FerralVideo]

True all in one ESC/FCs scare me. I burned an ESC on my 5" by trying to fly with a broken prop and didn't realize what had happened, as I had crashed in someone's yard. The prospect of such an innocent mistake turning my entire electronics core into a paperweight is scary. Heck, I'm feeling like a stick in the mud when I comment that I'm not sure I like the move to 4-in-1 ESCs on "all" miniquads for the same reason. Toast one, replace all four. I idly wonder if putting 3.5" triblades on the iFlight Chimera 4 3800kv version (extremely similar ESC/motor setup) would be an option to improve its freestyle performance further during sessions, and then put the 4" bi-blades back on when you want to do some LR, since changing props is fairly quick and easy. Yeah, putting 3.5s on a frame meant for 4s won't quite be as optimized as a true 3.5" frame like the Smart35, and the Chimera has a TON of extra junk in the trunk (GPS, etc), but the Chimera already is a compromise, trying to be "not the best at anything but good at many things".

[@Gosuminer]

Selecting prop size by AUW makes a lot of sense and if your AUW needs to be 250g the 3.5" class looks awesome. Personally, I prefer using an air unit to have at least 1080p footage and there is no 250g air unit setup I would be happy with so I go with boring 4" and 5".

[@dallasb7117]

Have you looked at the Transtec Beetle HD ?

[@stevejakab]

A GNB 4S 650mAh HV battery is much lighter than an 850mAh battery, and will easily let you mount a naked GoPro 6 on this quad. My 3" cinematic filming quad comes in at 160g before battery and GoPro and sub 250g with both fitted. I'm running 1404 motors, 3800kv. Flight time 5-6 mins using that battery. This could work with a naked GoPro under 250g

[@_burd]

I dunnooo, I had a Flywoo Explorer LR4 and with tri blade props, the arm braces on and a 720mAh LiHV battery that thing can definitely do freestyle. It hasn't the large environment authority of my Apex on 6s by any means BUT it can take a surprising beating with those arm braces on! Very versatile and a great option if you don't know what style you're interested in yet imho

[@BintonDribo]

Your build

[@d1i2m3]

I think that the switch from 120 fps with low latency to 60 fpv with high quality makes a big difference. Especialy when you do a roll, you're not gonna have that smooth video as you would have with 120 fps so you're automatically "terrified" of freestyle.

[@metoo3918]

My Shcoker 4" is 249g with BH 2004 motors, Caddx Nebula Pro Vista and 650mah 4S HV TBS battery. 3-4 minutes of freestyle. I'm sure a couple minutes longer for cruising, which I don't do. Go analog for even more flight time.

[@albie1]

This drone is awesome - incredibly stable for such a light weight! I used 450mAh batteries and it shot around like a robotic bee! However, I discovered that the bottom-plate is INCREDIBLY fragile - especially where the motors attach!!! Due to how fragile it is, I can't recommend buying it

[@Chillasaurus-Rex]

Joshua, if you think that this quad is good then I think you should try a Pach Ray. With the recommended build specs and the default Emuflight preset tune by Pierre Meunier. You can use the exact same 850mah 4S lipos and those exact same 3.5 inch Scimitar props on it. The difference would be like flying Steele's Apex after flying an average BG 5 inch quad. Except that the Pach Ray can carry a Naked GoPro 8 while still coming in under 250g. I've been a 3.5inch convert for some time now but it would be interested to see you try a more finely tuned & designed example for yourself. :)

[@WayneGrant]

I still think Tommie did an excellent job with the 2Fiddy, I have the 6s and 4s version and I don't see myself going back to normal 780g 5 inch anymore. Super performance, tuned well and have loads more cofidence since AUW is so low. Granted this is 3.5inch I think some people would still prefer the 2Fiddy or Toothfairy idk.

[@yannickg6904]

Tommy should take 10 minutes and design a 3.5" baseplate for the Acrobat Duo. I bet he'd sell a few.

I just got this quad. I've flown micros in the house. Pretty good at it.. tried to fly l.o.s. glad I did cause it's way harder than expected. Flew it into a fence at like 30mph..took it like a champ! I've crashed it every time I fly it...bent a prop, that's it. Things definitely a beating....in conclusion I'm going to practice on velocidrone a little bit before I fly again. It's definitely a ripper. It is very responsive and zippy. I don't know why it's so hard for me to fly. Horizon mode is hard. When I turn I have to adjust throttle or it looses alt..thought Horizon mode would help a little more...super cool hobby with a steep learning curve.

Dave_C is working on a pretty nice looking 4" with 1804 motors and (at least the analog version) 4s 850mah batteries. Looks really promising to me!!

[@DaveCFPV]

Release is planned for the 20th by the way ;-) 3.5" is a really promising size since the disc load is close to a regular 4". But then the prop choice is just really really limited and the 4" Freestyle setup really has an impressive performance and better flight times.

Bought the Emaxx Babyhawk HD. Turns out the motor mount screws were too long and there was continuity to the FC and the entire frame. I found this out after my frame was ruined. Emaxx is doing a full warranty as the rate of the death roll was so fast it cracked the frame on impact. Buddys has short screws and flies awesome.

[@ikempi]

I am kind of disapointed for you to reach Smart 35 so late. Babyhawk 2 HD may be? (review that one as well please - these are copetitors) I drew the line Smart 35 is cool and all, but Nano camera was the only reason I went with Babyhawk 2 HD, which has Pro. I was lucky to order one a week ago with TBS. Hope to get other stuff to complete the next step in my FPV evolution. 850 4S is kind of hard to find... Now starting to watch. Hope to win your raffle for that TBS 😊

[@CarbonGlassMan]

We really do lose a LOT when we lose the 600+ gram weight, but IF we have to stay below 250 grams, the next big thing in FPV will be a very good 4k camera, the size of the FPV camera with GoPro level stabilization and ND filters.

[@ghall05]

I am of the opinion that the more weight you have in the stack (suspended by gummies) the less vibration the stack will experience because something with more weight has more inertia and it takes more energy to get it moving back and forth. At the very least, I feel like it will dampen the higher frequency vibrations.

[@BrandonBeans]

Yeah, that F411 is going to have a hard time doing RPM filtering with softserial enabled. If the cpu lags too the much the gyro notch filters will be ineffective. Obviously it flew OK though, does it ship with bidirectional dshot?

[@norrathX89]

The 60fps in high quality Mode with 35ms doesn't factor in the latency from the Googles in 60hz right? So the 120hz Low latency Mode is not only the shown number in the OSD lower but also the lower latency in the Googles build in screens. If someone measured it, please share. I like my 4inch stripped Baby Crocodile 4 with weighs 117g with the naked Vista.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

RC Schim measured latency by shining a light in the camera and detecting the light on the screen. So that is glass to glass latency including camera, RF link, and screen. He found that the ms latency shown in the DJI was pretty accurate.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The latency is glass to glass. It includes the screen delay.

[@norrathX89]

Than it is pretty weird like you sad with the latency spikes of the Nano and Polar And thx for answering :)

[@Nigfis]

As a heavy can I ask, at what point or size do you actually balance these props? Or do the manufacturers do that? Thanks guys. Love n peas.

[@Nigfis]

Lol.. Newby not heavy! 😄

[@JoshuaBardwell]

You don't balance these props. They are decently balanced from the factory and we destroy them so quickly in crashes that any work spent balancing would be wasted.

[@Nigfis]

@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you.

[@bengmo64]

I wish it had the nebula pro instead, I built a quad with the nebula nano and it flies great but the latency will make it feel like a boat out of nowhere

[@alwayshathbeen3340]

I’m looking for that video link you promised me.. the one to your video about resource remapping and the LED pads. The one for “kNoW iT aLlS”. 🙃

[@JoshuaBardwell]

This one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX2UdauLe895p5o&ab_channel=JoshuaBardwell

[@alwayshathbeen3340]

@@JoshuaBardwell Yessir, that’s the one. Thanks buddy.

Some years ago, 1407 or 1507 was advised for 3". And now 1404 seems to be just enough for 3.5" Oo. In order to build a 3" freestyle, 1404 is enough? (My micro apex 3" with 1407 weight 200gr without battery :'( )

[@JoshuaBardwell]

It depends on the weight. 1407 and 1508 are great for heavier like cinewhoop.

[@J2_P]

@@JoshuaBardwell thanks for your answer. As I said, micro apex is a little tank... 200gr with vista. And 300gr with 4s 850mah. Is it heavy? I hope same trust/weight ratio than my 5" but it seems to be impossible.

[@NOT_ANOTHER_FPV]

my nano hex is going to take over the world!

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

I’m still debating whether I want to dabble into the sub 250 rigs or build a 5/6 inch modern tricopter……

[@OSRychenberg]

Is it possible to use bidirectional dshot on this quad?

[@gus8378]

Your flow was a little weird on this one. The best flight I've seen from you was with the shocker. It really sold me the frame to watch that.

[@waleswideman1]

Could you get a 4 inch tri copter under 250

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying and review, Joshua! 😃 GepRC is killing it! Pretty amazing little quad! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@adamlassen1185]

The Emax Baby Hawk 2 HD is better in my opinion, has the Nebula pro camera!

[@charlie9074]

what controller and goggles would you recommend to use with this quad?

[@PinkeySuavo]

i use 800dm goggles and jumper t-lite and all works good for me

[@charlie9074]

@@PinkeySuavodamn I completely forgot about this, I ended up going with the EV800d and radiomaster pocket

[@DronePsyche]

what about the babyhawk 2??

[@Sfpv1994]

Can you reduce the 600mW vtx to 25?

[@TheKtchevelle]

The title is what I keep telling my dates. Still trying to get a second one.

[@TrentTationnaiseXization]

I have a sub 250 4inch Digital HD rig.

[@doodgeslagenmug]

Looks almost exacly like the Emax babyhawk 2

The AOS 3.5

What camera would you recommend to replace the nebula nano?

I have a review of Polar and Runcam MIPI coming soon.

didnt the f4 boards have a built in inverter........
