How do you install a xt-30 connected?

[@stevekoptyra4082]

You need to unsolder the current battery leads and then solder on an xt30 pigtail

[@daviddoster5628]

Did you bind in d8? Seems like you are getting alot more range than i am

[@protoolsfanatic7276]

question: i currently own tinkhawk 2 that came with the goggles and transmitter. if i buy the tiny hawk freestyle version will i be able to use the goggles and transmitter?

[@yarbsfpv]

@@protoolsfanatic7276 yep.

[@joshuasterling2144]

Great to know that Emax is listening. I have almost 100 dollars in my Freestyle and its good to know that if it all goes down I can almost get the same result again just by going out and getting the new version.

[@tomroethke]

Joshua Sterling dude same.

[@missionstealth4206]

Buzzing I just got mine in the air. I cant wait to get flying again after giving up on my old quads. I bought this and with in 30mins in flying. So so happy.

[@nategod1176]

Thank you Andy, this answers why I wasn't getting better range yesterday. Only used smart audio to change power, didn't realise it resets every flight. Once again you save me time and frustration, I can go enjoy instead of testing and reading manuals. THANKS

[@johncitizen3361]

I upgraded the VTX in my first one and put a runcam nano in with a 3D printed part, flew great but receiver was still crap and a failsafe resulted in a crash which killed the FC. Problem is a replacement FC costs almost as much as I paid for it in the first place.

[@fuglong]

Andy you are the best RC KZbinr hands down. The only one that shows the betaflight stuff and all the changes you made. Always consistent unbiased reviews. I appreciate your hard work

[@AndyRCchannel]

Thank you I do.my best :-)

[@bravedan]

I was and still am perfectly happy with my Freestyle 1. HOWEVER, when I got my Race, the inferior quality picture from the original Freestyle camera became more obvious, so I bought the newer camera and made some 3D printed post mounts for it. Doing it this way also allowed me choice of the lens, 1.8 or 2.1 to best suit me. I have not found any issues with the VTX from the Mk1, maybe because if I want more range I'll want to be flying something bigger from my collection anyway. I'm glad they have made this change for new users, and its great they listen, EMAx do seem currently to be ahead of many in the way they bother to test and set up, and to take advantage of new items, but its an easy mod for those with a Mk1. Good review as always Andy.

[@LovemyDrones]

Thanks mate for sending me the link for your review of the Freestyle 2 when I commented on the one you did for the original. Feel rather pleased with myself as I changed very little too but the RX loss was one of them. I'll definitely have to re-watch and find that button for the vtx, shame you gotta do it every time! Got to be a way around that! Pain in the butt plugging those batteries in in the first place. I did not notice the two profiles, I will have to check that out. Thanks again! Oh, that was some great flying too! Cheers!

[@AndyRCchannel]

You only have to do it once. I didn't say you have to do it each time. Cheers

[@Inspiration233]

@@AndyRCchannel Could u explain a little bit more what do you mean with "press the button when u put the lipos in" like do u mean the reboot button? Wouldnt make sens to me. Didnt know is just show 200 mw but is still 25.

Thanks for the good content! Might be a dumb question but I’m so new to this. How can I unlock and adjust it from 25 to 200 MW VTx ? Thanks for any info 🙏🏽

[@rajjena4092]

Thanks Andy. Great review as always. Ordered mine and a linear patch antenna to make the most of that 200mW VTX!!!

[@tvz857]

What type of remote controller and fpv goggles were you using?

[@bownsaway]

Brilliant Andy what's the best solution for mounting a insta360 GO on TinyHawk Freestyle 2.

[@fittyfpv2467]

Just got my TH2FS a few days ago, and i've been trying to tune out mid throttle oscillations out for the past few hours. I wasn't sure what it was but I noticed the PID values for my Profile 2 were completely different than the ones you had on screen. I copied them to PID profile 3 and reverted my filtering to defaults, hopefully I can shake these oscillations before my 360GO and mount show up this week.

[@zigmar7]

How this one compares to TH2 Race and what are pros/cons when choosing between the two?

[@ryanclawson7307]

I just got a freestyle 2 from your link. Can you post a custom tune cli dump? That would be great!

[@williaml8868]

im assuming to switch the vtx to 200mw, you only have to press the button once when you first plug in the batteries and then it is saved and you dont have to press it anymore, just wondering great review, was wondering about the voltage sag

[@screamatthewind]

Like the aircraft but mine "exploded" after only a few flights during a normal Bettafilght Air Mode landing. Somewhat bumpy landing but not at all unsual. The SUPPORTS are made from NYLON and stripped out. Pieces and screws went every which way. I'm replacing them with METAL. Lost one of the camera supports during the incident. 3D Printing another one. Having to design it myself. Unable to find one online. Can't wait to get it back in the air. Really performs. Hopefully it will hold up this time after fixing the DESIGN FLAW. 2s is about as big as you want to go on this class aircraft. Have a couple 3s in this size, too awkward.

[@ozoneflysurfer9491]

Can you use the controller from the Tinyhawk 2 whoop FPV kit with the freestyle

[@theearthisbread]

I was able to achieve 10 minutes of hovering on the original 1s emax batteries. Can’t wait to see how long it will last outdoors with my 550 mah 1s batteries. Can’t test it out yet as unfortunately i have a weather problem here aswell 😊

[@SquinkyEXE]

First timer here. Just bought the rtf kit with this drone. It was a blast until I crashed it and broke the battery connector... So as a total noob I'm wondering if I purchase a replacement freestyle II what will I have to do to make it work with the controller and goggles from my kit?

[@Trekeyus]

I'm sure you figured it out by now but if not. You would just need to rebind. That said I'm sure you've out grown the controller that came with the rtf kit as have switched to a better one.

[@user-pw4zn5iv5y]

This minicopter is very good for beginning. 👍

Seeing you fly the quad LOS like that is mental. I'd for sure smash it into the ground!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying, Andy!!! 😃 Looks like an awesome little quad! Great review!!! Stay safe there! 🖖😊

[@Temporal_Flux]

I looked at the PID profiles on mine but, I guess I missed the throttle limit. That would probably explain the voltage sag that I was getting on profile 1. I'll still be swapping to XT30 though. I really don't like the 2x 1S battery setup. They at least stay in place if you use a bit of Ummagrip though. Nice review, as always.

[@blarbdude]

Would it be possible to add a better fpv antenna? Something circularly polarized?I can't think of the name of the plug type, um something?

What are the most powerfull batteries it can jse on the deafpult wires

[@KimIhalainen]

Thank you Andy, just brilliant stuff :)

[@rcreviews1412]

Do you have to unlock the vtx every flight?

[@dougkresl7538]

Andy, what is the mounting hole dimensions for the ESC board? Looks like a standard whoop size one way, and a bit longer the other way. Looks like a possible great AIO for a super lightweight Toothpick 3 inch build.

[@inmaniac]

Does anyone know if you have to unlock the VTX with every battery? Or is it just once and you're done? If the former, that would get pretty annoying right?

[@thezerklegacy6555]

Hey Andy, quick question. If I unlock the VTX after I turn on the quad. Would I need to turn it on again after I've done my flight and a put a new battery in?

[@oufikjeho1170]

Hi, thank you for the review! I´d like to ask, if is it possible to use transmitter and goggles from the old Tinyhawk (1)? (I mean that first one 75mm whoop style with white plastic cover) Because the look totaly similar. Thank you!

[@kmkkevinmundwilerkustom5426]

Whaou 🤗stock spi rx for this flight?

[@AllAroundTube50]

I don't think you need to change the freestyle profile to rate 2 for 2S batteries (I think that was only for the tinyhawk2, not the freestyle). That's why they don't include the 1S adaptor plug (they figure everyone will fly the freestyle on 2S, so it comes configured for 2S out the box). I fly mine on rate1 profile and haven't had issues. You are better of switching out for X30 connectors and buying better LiPo's anyway.

[@dave3109]

at what volts do you land to charge the batteries

[@samuelmiller9921]

so you can increase the battery size? im looking to increase flight times

[@skirmich]

Looks more of a refresh than a new version... Should have kept that "II" moniker for something better. Sadly this has nothing on a fully upgraded Freestyle with the R9, Baby Ratel and TBS Nano 32.

[@mavicmillar2641]

Hey dude, Loving the videos. I've got experience in RC. But new to the FPV world. At the moment I'm weighting up my beginner set up. I was looking at the nazgul evoque. Im not sure whether to go analogue or digital (DJI setup - with DJI goggles) I dont really want to buy multiple goggles, trying to keep costs down. Any thoughts? what do you suggest?

go digital if you can afford it. you can add an analogue module to the dji goggles. look up digi adapter

Did you use the google/radio that came with the bundle? or did you use different once ?

Thanks so much for this video. I now have my TinyHawk Freestyle 2 and I am wondering do I have to unlock the vtx once? Or every single time I power it up to fly it? Dumb question I suppose, but I am wondering how long that vtx button will last if every single time I power up I have to push that button to unlock the higher frequency.

[@johnkurpiewski3996]

I have the rtf version , I unlocked the the vtx and turned it up to 200, and I’m sure it’s unlocked because I’m able to get the locked channels. But I still get a lot of breakup even on different channels . Is it the goggles ? And what can I do .

[@fittyfpv2467]

The goggles you get with the RTF kit are pretty bad, to put it lightly. The linear antennas that come with it are basically the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality. If you get a pair of Eachine EV800D's or FarShark Scouts you'll be much happier. The FatSharks have a higher picture resolution but the EV800D's have a bit better range based on some tests posted on KZbin. It's worth mentioning the FatSharks are twice the price.

[@shanejohnstone4245]

Great review as always, if I had to choose between the TinkHawk II Freestyle or the GEPRC Phantom, what would be the best choice?

[@AndyRCchannel]

for a felld like mine id go for the freestyle. It's got a longer flight time than the phantom. But if I needed more Range then the phantom has a full range receiver so which ever one of those is more important to you

[@shanejohnstone4245]

@@AndyRCchannel Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Putting the range aside and the flight times does one perform and fly better than the other?

[@fittyfpv2467]

FrSky has been known to be sabotaging their firmwares to break compatibility with SPI receivers - which is the type the Tinyhawk series uses. You may have to update or rollback your firmware to a specific version in order for it to work with the XJT Lite. I'm not sure if it was ACCST or ACCESS 2.0 that had problems. There's a bunch of videos on it. You may have luck finding a host for the proper firmware on Reddit in the r/multicopter or r/fpv subreddits.

its difficult to say as some people are advising they have changed the profiles since my review. Which ever has a 75 percent cut on the throttle should be for 2s otherwise the voltage will sag too much without that.
