Amazing this is what a quad should cost and not the 5x prices asked by the name brand companies.

[@frankcastillo8869]

Who wouldn't want a cheap FPV quad to add to their collection? I've still got mine from last year and its been flying great so probably will be passing on this one but good to see the small improvements in the updated model for 2023.

[@SkeezyFPV]

Now a bad deal too if you want to do some sketchy stuff and not risk a real quad :)

[@925fpv]

I've got three TCMMRC quads and they are all still working fine even with some crashes.

[@luisfilipe1983]

Thank God someone is still making fpv quads that don't cost a million dollars...😅

[@frankcastillo8869]

Nah, we need to pay $1000 per quad so we can pay all those sponsored pilots! 😂😂🤣🤣

[@SkeezyFPV]

@@frankcastillo8869right? I’m paying for 20-40 props a month so someone else can get a box of 100 for free 🤔

[@xavierprimeto1752]

@@frankcastillo8869 Haha! Sponsored pilots shilling crappy quads. This is what FPV is like today?

[@bulufish8208]

It's truly out of control. It's stopping a lot of newbies from joining our hobby.

[@vanlifefpv6340]

I've heard these sponsored pilots get good money along with a lot of free parts so I'd shill my ass off if I could too!

[@xavierprimeto1752]

Thanks for another quality review of a budget quad. Clearly some downsides, thanks for pointing those out. But the price is unbeatable. I don't think there is anything out there in this class that can beat this.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Thanks for sharing. Yes, the price is the lowest I've seen anywhere. Some troll a-hole kept posting comments that he can buy these quads for $25 to $30 but would not tell me where so I deleted all his BS comments as spam.

[@Johnny19853]

@@AlbertKimTV $30 5-inch FPV drone? That's total BS!

[@kydawg1684]

It is a great deal for a 5 inch model. Nice review as always Albert,

[@jjbross7473]

Finally a quad thats for ppl that font wanna spend to much but they also dont want a emax ez pilot pro or sum

[@tazgrif11]

I would love to see an upgrades video, also kind of random, can you run a 6S battery above 650mah for the baby ape II?

[@pandrews01]

I'm suspecting that (speculation) a vast supply of overstock/old parts, that perhaps need to go somewhere/find a home. If your not looking for the best quad or your looking for a starter quad, then this is the quad for you. Nothing wrong with it, just a way to get into the hobby. I appreciate your candid review of budget quads/parts. Great review.

[@lalojr76ify]

Great video for a someone like me who’s looking into FPV drones. I’m looking forward to more videos about you upgrading the camera and the antenna for analog. Digital is expensive especially with the goggles. Can you recommend an analog brand that would work with this drone setup and the controller that comes with it in a bundle deal. I’m looking to place me an order for 1 pretty soon after watching this. Thanks again for the video.

[@AlbertKimTV]

If you go to the link, they have bundle options included with the drone.

[@SkeezyFPV]

I fly bandos but I watched the entire vid. Looks like a great way for someone new to get into fpv with a 5”. What you said about bando bashers is 100% accurate regarding build price. $100 for motors, $100 for skystars 60 amp stack, $80 for frame, $15 for lipo buzzer, $239 for O3 air unit, and then lots and lots of props and replacement bells for the motors lol. $544 for a digital bando basher… I do think there’s benefits to someone new having a sturdy quad though. The less time you spend fixing means more time flying. Great honest review, Albert. I appreciate them even when it’s not a quad I’m particularly interested in. I love everything fpv 🔥🔥🔥

Wow, the price is unheard of these days. The parts alone is a great deal for under $90. combo for under $200 WOW!!!! Great video, tips, and review Albert!!! Thanks for the PID tips!!! 👍

[@SirValak]

Nice price! thanks ffor the info, what Battery do you recommend, 2S, 3S or 4S? for this drone

[@AlbertKimTV]

Recommend this one... amzn.to/3OJ8lXp

[@BStreet666]

If you do decide to do a "pimp my budget quad" video on this one, it would be cool to see how much more it would take to get this to what you would consider adequate. Looks pretty good as is considering the $ but obviously room for improvement.

[@AlbertKimTV]

So, I consider this "adequate" in my book. It gets you in the air, and is reasonably flyable. As I mentioned in the video, the first thing to replace is the camera but not 100% necessary to be able to fly it. I'm able to fly it as you saw in the video. Perhaps you can tell me what you feel is "adequate"?

[@jjbross7473]

Do u think like apart from the amazing price that its still a rally nice quad to have or is it just meh?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Depends on what your expectations are. For the money it's a fine cruising quad. If you're expecting to win the next FPV race or do crazy freestyle tricks, you should be spending a LOT more money.

[@jlarson42]

Great review of very good priced 5" build. Nice seeing budget options still being offered. I know of no bundles at that good of a price. For those looking to save a bit more on the radio, or prefer game pad style radios. The Jumper T Lite v2 elrs radio can be bought for $60. At the moment Newbeedrone and Aliexpress carry it. Happy flying everyone. 🤓

[@fpvfanatic]

Nice review. Was thinking about buying one of those cheap quads to practice acro with

[@turionb1408]

yeah good idea. if youre looking for a 3.5inch i high recoment the crux35 its awesome. very fast and agile and great for acro

[@frankcastillo8869]

Yeah, that's what I did when I got the one from last year. Still holding up after a year but be sure to wait for his tuning video. It flew a lot better with a PID tune.

Albert, did TCMMRC give you a pre-installed 3-wire plug for the receiver... grnd-5volt-sbus...I wish to install an R-XSR.....please advise....thx

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yeah, the plug is included but you have to cut off the other side and solder it to your receiver.

Albert do you know what the INav flash target is for this FC? Mine came yesterday and so far it looks great. Thanks

[@AlbertKimTV]

Sorry, I'm not sure... doesn't autodetect work?

[@mikeromeolima]

Yes it did - thanks very much! AOCODARCF4V2 Now if I can track down the barometer type I will be ready to fly @@AlbertKimTV

[@mikeromeolima]

I could not find an INav barometer that would work. So I used the "inav_use_gps_no_baro = on" to turn off the barometer requirement in order to use the auto-pilot features. Works great you just need to watch the altitude. I may swap in a different FC some day - if I can't solve the barometer issue.

[@grifter77]

Any thoughts on whether the FC on this would support iNav and/or Ardupilot? I'm looking for an inexpensive platform that I could add a GPS to and start experimenting with some autonomous flight modes, and wondering if this might be suitable....

[@AlbertKimTV]

On the product page is says it supports INAV but I have no interest in testing INAV so have no clue if it's true or not.

[@mky522]

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying and review, Albert!!! 😃 For the price it would be much than a good deal to get it and slap Walksnail into it! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@SkeezyFPV]

If the O3 actually does drop down to $179 like the rumor mill says then o3 will be a decent option too. That frame looks plenty tall enough for an air unit lol

[@MCsCreations]

@WarriorLife_fpv I'm just not sure if it would fit there, the VTX is pretty small and there's no much horizontal space left... But if it fits, absolutely! Now, if DJI drops price, I can't see Caddx not doing the same. Either way, fun times ahead! 😊

[@polemagnetfpv]

I'm allergic to updates so I have put off switching to elrs, this could be great for me if I knew which darn elrs is in it and could just duplicate a model on the TX. Then I could switch my other drones. If you could supply that info that would be great.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Unfortunately, they didn't send me the bundle so you'll have to ask them directly. There should be a link on the product page to send them questions like this.

[@manski209]

Great review as always. preCovid you could probably get this quad for $50, the Darwin Baby Ape Pro V2 is $10 more and probably a better quad but its a 3 inch.

[@vanlifefpv6340]

Not sure the darwin is any better. I already killed mine in a pretty minor crash. Snapped an arm and burned the motor and esc.

[@1101nz]

Im considering buying this , just for a cheap camera drone , to chase & video RC planes . My other quads are too small for the action cam I have. I'll either buy this, or a DIY with a $20 frame, speedibee stack & use the motors vtx & cam I bought some time back Speedibee stack & $20 frame is almost the same price .

[@AlbertKimTV]

What about the cost of the motors, camera, and VTX?

[@925fpv]

It's not the same price. SpeedyBee stack is $60 + $20 frame + $50 in motors (cheapest I could find) + $20 camera + $10 VTX = $160. Double the cost of this TX220.

[@1101nz]

I allready have those parts, the motors props vtx & cam 🙂

[@Mr_Meaty]

Ok, this one or rhe darwinfpv baby ape pro?

[@vanlifefpv6340]

Two different classes of drones. Go for the smaller one for park flying or if you don't want to scare people. This 5 inch is gonna be way faster and louder so there's a different purpose for this one.

[@Mr_Meaty]

Thanks. I keep getting my Darwin drones mixed up. The Darwin Johny 5 is twice as expensive as this. Is it twice as good?

[@AlbertKimTV]

This one is more durable than the baby ape pro (assuming you can find that one anywhere these days).

[@AlbertKimTV]

@@Mr_Meaty I've never flown the Johny 5 but I doubt it's twice as good.

[@danlatu209]

Is there a link to buy parts to keep this budget quad in the air?

[@AlbertKimTV]

They do sell some parts separately but it would be cheaper to just buy a 2nd one. I think they sell this at a loss to get you to buy other stuff.
