BEST BEGINNER DRONE RACING KIT TO DATE!! 2019 Emax tinyhawk RTF review

[@UAVfutures]

HUGE shoutout to Ben for letting us rip the yard and having a crazy fun time at the first BRL (backyard racing league) : ) I cant believe how fun 4 little quads can be when everyone is evenly matched and chaos is unfolding on the track. this is a great kit to get started - bit.ly/Tinyhawk

[@benphillips1152]

Cheers Stew. If there is one thing i love more than FPV its FPV with mates

[@Zeaiclies]

$165 for a full RTF FPV kit is awesome, especially if it's not completely rubbish but for free would be totally tops Stew.

[@TankTheSpank]

You don't have a link for the 1s battery to buy.

[@amt1a351]

I didn't see a link for replacing the goggle antennas with what you recommend.

[@steinak3n]

Hey Stu, have you checked out the BETAFPV advanced kit? includes this controller, a goggle box and the meteor 75 (i know you reviewed the 65 earlier this year) - just wondered what your thoughts are on it compared to the EMAX tinyhawk 2 kit?

[@StolenDog]

Beers, BBQ and haaaard laps! Such a solid day of racing. Thanks for coming to visit Stew.

[@JohnFSmitheugene]

I’ve been flying the TinyHawk for about a month now and I absolutely love this little quad. It’s just the thing when you feel like zooming the back yard. And it’s so simple to use; you just throw a 1S on it and you’re ready to rock ‘n roll. I just ordered this full setup for my nephew. He wants to get into FPV, but like so many young people, it’s tough for him to put together the money for a 5”, battery packs, transmitter, and goggles. This takes all the guesswork out of the equation for a beginner and lets them concentrate on flying. Great review and flight footage. Thanks, Stew. BTW, GNB has 1S, 600 mah batteries that are a perfect fit for this little quad. I bought some and I’m getting 4-5 minutes of flight time. Great batteries!

[@jacobharrison3869]

can you link those batteries lol im looking for them

[@BLUESUNNL]

Hi. I want to buy my first fpv rtf tinyhawk but no sd slot in goggles and in drone. How can I record video for social media?

[@RCUpgrade]

UAV Futures is a great channel. I am a month in to the hobby and absolutly love it. Thanks to all the great content.

[@aleksanderszydowski6001]

I recently started flying thanks to you. I was looking for a diy drone instruction, and I accidentally noticed your video about 99$ fpv drone. I never really wanted to build a fpv drone, but it turned out, that they are the most fun!

[@noobnoobington0001]

Bought one of these kits based off your review during your China visit. I am brand new to the FPV world and watch all of your vids...love it!

[@EkimKnives]

A plug and play kit at this price point is finally the push I needed to jump in! Thank you for the video!

[@joffchandler629]

Brilliant, well rounded review as usual! I think it's great that you got Jonno and Granger to give their comments on it as all 3 of you are such different pilots. I've not brought any kit yet, but maybe this is the way forward!

[@jtmuser2245]

Thanks Stew for all your hard work and dedication to this sport! You have been quintessential in my interest in this sport!!

Was it worth it?

just ordered one! can't wait to get it and practice! I watched your video on the $99 drone and ordered a couple parts already but since im a complete FPV beginner this sounds so much better! love your videos!

This or the Hubsan H122D? Or maybe another option in 2019 for the same price?

this Got Your Stamp of Approval.....I know I Must Buy this one!! Great Rtf Kit, with No Beta flight Confusion!! I Really Wish Beta flight was Easier to Understand. You make Awesome Videos, and I Really Value Your Opinion on these Quads! Thanks for Sharing!!

[@dennissnyder9851]

Awsome channel!!! My son gave me a DJI Tello for Christmas. I really like it but it doesn't perform like the Tinyhawk. My son and I watched the 99.00 drone video, and he bought the professional version. We had a great time putting it together (great tutorial). He is really looking forward to taking it out and flying it. We live in Pittsburgh Pa where it is bone chilling cold (Bummer). This type of drone would be great to fly in the house when outdoor conditions are harsh, Again loved the video and look forward to your next one.

[@mikaberglund]

Thanks for the review! Based on this, I went and ordered one for me and my boys. We're looking to get into racing, and thought this would be a good option to practice flying and get those oh so necessary hours of flying under our belts. I'll definitely keep checking out your videos for more racing related stuff. Keep 'em coming ;)

[@7randomeverything72]

I kinda wish that I started FPV later now because all these fun kits are coming out. Don't get me wrong getting people into the hobby is what I like to do and I am getting some of my "mates" set up with some gear. I really enjoy seeing the hobby progress like it is and to be a part of it! Keep it up Stew

[@ChristKrew-Rev1.8]

We did things backwards and learned the hard way.... lol... so the man cub and I did the sim all winter and will be getting the bnf so we can start our own BRL with some friends who we are introducing them to this package. Thank you for the awesome review. Can't wait to get this going!

Thanks bro ....sold me ...cant wait to get one very soon ...hopfully ...im new to fpv ...thanks to you

[@austinburton5175]

Get a controller and a sim first. It is seriously hard to fly a drone. I built the $100 drone wrecked it 2 time in one battery, then bought a sim.

O i can fly... i have five drones now ...just new to the small in door ones

[@nonenone6425]

And the tinyhawk kit looks pretty nice ... good buy

[@papadocquadshop2108]

@@nonenone6425 funniest little quad ever, it used to build,crash, repair., and repeat. With the tiny hawk, Its just fly, crash, and repeat. The camera dislodged in a hard smack, but you don't have to disassemble it to put it back in place. Best way to explain is to watch Nick Burns videos, he has one showing how to do this, other than that you should get 1 set of props( they don't break, but they pop off, and their easy to lose), and you'll need a spare frame soon if you fly as much as I have ripped this little quad, but for the price I've found nothing to match the fun I've had . also I don't have an inside place to fly, it does ok up to about 5 to 6 mile an hour winds.

[@zymurgyjwt]

Tiny hawk is killer. At a 1s whoop race this weekend there was about 20 tinyhawks. Not a single one broke or malfunctioned.

[@BLUESUNNL]

I'd like to get some better antennas for these goggles but not sure what to get. Any ideas?

[@Revotap]

Thanks for this review. My mate is very interested in flying too. I started six months ago with your 99 dollar build and he flies it alot. Now he wants to start with something small and this right here is the one Im gonna suggest him. Thanks for the nice work and cool entertainment. There is a reson why I dont have TV for the last 3 years.... because of people like you doing great youtube stuff. Stay awesome :)

[@TheAgentAardvark]

Why did it disappear for a second? 15:14

[@vaguedirector_7342]

Best part is that with 42g weight, the drone laws are far less restrictive (here in Australia anyway).

[@george198four]

VagueDirector _ wait do you know about California

[@Bertoslav]

george macias - FAA in the US is very strict, and pretty much want to destroy the hobby, so most likely, the laws apply to even this size of drone. You could probably get away with it, but if you take it to a park, chances are eventually you would meet a person that thinks drones are evil, and reports you after asking for your license and you don’t have it.

[@johncarold]

Hi Stew and Guys, I love this sport ever since I started flying fix-wing in 1971 and now flying around with FPV quads is a blast. I have a 2.5 Droner and a tiny whoop and I'm having a blast. keep up the good work.

Is this thing able to handle the weight of a GoPro 7 Black? If not, can you recommend some beginners drone which can handle a GoPro?

[@venomtylers2851]

Elllllooooo ... love the intro . I havent been able to get into fpv yet totally going to start saving for this setup . I am an avid follower I watch ur videos daily . And absolutely enjoy how informative they are . Would love to have a setup like this . But I'm a Single dad to a great 3 year lil man and he is my priority . Thanks for the videos . My son and I enjoy them .

[@Terror-Gene]

Love all the informative videos. Almost a video to watch for everything I want to know... but I would like a new antenna shootout video as that & batteries are the last things left for me to decide on before purchasing all my components. I’ll be new to drones & FPV & thank you hugely for motivating me to get involved! Love seeing this from a fellow Victorian!

[@ericharman420]

After buying the Hawk 5 and some Aomway goggles (from your recommendations mostly, thanks :) I can’t wait to expand the arsenal with a tiny quad, whether it’s the tiny hawk or the Mobula I love this new hobby. Thanks Stew!

Several of these would really make a fun weekend of an otherwise basic weekend

Great starter kit. So jealous sat here in the freezing cold and snow. Summer time seems so far away atm. Can't wait for the 2s version to come out.

[@aaronroseberry7425]

I just bought a computer last week in order to fly a Sim! My laptops would not fly correct at all. Tried the Liftoff demo and it fly's really nice but seems a little floaty. Not sure what to purchase now that I have the hardware to do it with. Thanks for the entertaining content. Happy flying!

[@DavidReynolds-kr6yh]

Is it capable of changing from mode 1 to mode 2 ? Also, as far as the stick length goes, just stick on a bit of foam or rubber.

[@PBoogerwood]

I’ve definitely had my eye on this kit! Now it looks like I need to take the plunge! Thanks for the overview and footage! Question: is this true receiver diversity?

[@whiffles]

It is not. It's only got a single receiver.

[@crispinodell519]

Awesome video brother that is my fpv is all about I wish we had more people where I'm at and that Emax tiny Hawk is it one beautiful machine

[@Onlyone10184]

You should do an update to your video where you do everything to get you up in the air video

[@johnguy6138]

Stew, great video as always, a sim key would be great so I could practice anytime, it's going to be 4° farenheit and snowing for the next few days, so no outdoor flying for me!

[@ernestodoubleu]

I wonder how the video feed from this drone looks. Or is always like the one from this video (It shows all the info and glitches from interference)? Can you show a clean video output from the drone? Or it not possible from this type of fpv drones. I'm just learning about it and all the videos I see pretty much shows it with the glitches.

[@macbury18]

What's the range on them like? I'd like something that I can mess around in a field and follow a friend of mine who builds RC planes. This seems like a price I'd happily go for as a taste but if it's more designed for small area backyard racing rather than just having a look around outdoors then maybe I'll keep looking..

[@fresque]

You made me buy this kit and im IN LOVE!!! This is my first FPV drone and is great but i'm really struggling to find batteries here in argentina. And no one is going to ship them to me by plane because of the regulations there are in place.

[@Nick__a]

This definitely got me hooked into the hobby!!!! Cheers Stu keep up the awesome videos!!!!!!

[@KeyBored101]

I'm trying to decide between this and the mobula 7

[@amt1a351]

Stu, In your video you mentioned changing out the goggle antennas to get better reception. Which ones would you recommend getting? This is going to be my very first drone so not very smart on everything yet and don't want to get the wrong ones. Thanks!!

[@markomax9999]

Can I pair that tiny whooper with my FS-I6 tx? I mean I bought after your review and it's still works like a charm. Kidna don't like those accessories in the bundle...

[@asn_golf_r1166]

Are those racing drone stable? I was wondering if it's possible to hover with that kind of drone.

[@jannesbosma9801]

Great review. I wonder if the transmitter is frsky compatible?

[@unnamedchannel1237]

He says it runs on the Frsky protocol.

[@unnamedchannel1237]

5:37

[@jannesbosma9801]

@@unnamedchannel1237 I understand that the transmitter goes into bind mode pressing some key combination. This set is a really great start in FPV which makes it possible to modularly upgrade in time.

[@jealexander]

How well would this work as a jumping off point for a bigger drone, ie using these goggles and/or radio with a 5" quad or fixed wing? I'm pretty sure I want to get into the hobby but it's hard justifying the expense of the good stuff all at once, and I don't want to get cheap stuff that I'll outgrow almost immediately. If this will give me some room to grow before getting into a "real" kit it sounds like a great purchase. I've been having a lot of fun with a little Hubsan and an E010 already, but definitely interested in FPV.

[@bobbyteunisse8613]

Thanks for the great review! As a result, I've just bought the EMAX TinyHawk kit you reviewed. How were you able to capture video while flying? You noted that it would be a good design improvement if there was an SD card slot to record, so without that, how were you able to record (noting that I am a drone Gumby : ) Cheers.

I told my buddy to start with an Eachine Wizard X220S kit but I think now I have to recommend this as a whole kit with goggles and everything.

[@mshane86]

Bought one and I've got the 4 blade props on the way as well. With turtle mode this thing will be perfect!

[@papadocquadshop2108]

I built my first quad because of UAV Futures, and that was the best thing that could have happened for me. The tiny hawk is incredibly tough, I've smacked rock walls at full speed so many times I was sure it would be trashed, but it's still kicking. I'm missing all but 2 braces on 3 motors.and 3 on 1 motor. The absolute best way to get started, I've worn out my first 15 batteries with 1000"s of flights. I literally flew for 10 hours with a few breaks the first day I received it. E max nailed this better than all the others combined, at least for a beginner 1s quad, but its fun for any level pilot imo.

[@manchildrc]

I NEED this in my life. Thanks for the vid.

[@shaunweir6080]

I am so trying to get a buddy at work to buy this kit. He is flying a toy drone with cellphone bluetooth video right now and he loves it. This would blow his mind.

[@Darkspartan089]

Wait. WTF happened at 15:15? Am I crazy or does it disappear for a sec and come back.

[@TheRevoluted]

Tinyhawk + QX7 has been my start into the hobby. Loving it so far!! Batteries are tough to come by in Canada tho

[@TheProCut17]

I got the tinyhawk RTF kit as my first FPV, I've got two line of sight flights on it now (12 batteries run through it) next nice day I'm going to try the goggles for the first time 👍👍 thanks for sharing, it helped me with my decision 👍👍 I still need to get a wrist mount DVR with separate receiver, as there is not an a/v out on these goggles. Thanks again, - John in Tn, USA

[@michasekua4185]

Hello, looks like we’re having lots of micros these days :) For an Taranis X-lite user, and Aomway V1 or Skyzone SKY02 soon to be user, which should be better, Trashcan or Tinyhawk? Also between Aomway V1 and Skyzone SKY02, which would You choose and why?

[@Gienbfu]

I got a tinyhawk myself and have to say it is really fun, I found gnb batteries to be a good alternative to the emax ones.

[@grumpypoof9648]

It looks like some kontrol freaks might fit on those joy sticks. People use them for video game controllers to extend the length of their sticks. I have some myself.

[@helis9019]

THANKS FOR TESTING THIS IN THE CONDITIONS IT WAS DESIGNED FOR. Well done. I have had a set course in my back yard complete with Laser timing for a couple of years, Just got my TinyHawk yesterday. Not breaking any lap records yet but will keep trying. May record is 22 laps in 3 mins with a quad I designed and built myself, best so far with tiny hawk is 18 laps, but i'm sure I can improve. As i'm over 65 I'm on the down hill side of getting faster but will persevere. I live in Inglewood NZ if anyone close by reads this feel free to contact me for some competition.

[@devildogcody]

I'd love to get a kit like this. Closest to fpv I have done is the Parrot Bebop 2. It's fun, but I want to learn things like throttle control and acro on a non altitude hold drone....one that can withstand the inevitable crashes

[@GSoyko]

Well, i bought eachine e013 for the start for 65$, now i am watching and in a wait for some spare $ for a next level drone kit :)) And it seems like a much better step from e013 then a wizard x220 kit. Stew, can this transmitter work with a simulator? Or i can connect to sim through usb port in a tinyhawk drone?

[@situbes.972]

I like this starter kit. Question- Stu, can you bind the quad to other radios and back to orginal radio? This would be my only potiental (if it cant rebind with orginal remote) problem of the rtf version. Reason- Me and my friend (cant afford this hobby) have t8sg plus and whole bunch of brushed quads. Only 1 fpv starter kit we have is left overs from the rtf inductrix fpv (- that qaud, what what a piece of crap that was). We would like nice rtf version ( like the one you just reviewed -with a nice quad, the box googles, rtf remote.) But because on tight budget i need to know if i can bind to other radio and back to orginal rtf remote. Thanks.

[@GR8SCOTT]

Looks great! I'm trying to get in as inexpensively as possible. It's a bit confusing to figure out what frequency/program/receiver to order.

[@Muhnsterman]

Hey Stew! Love your channel! Thanks for all the information for beginners like me. On your recommendation last year I bought my first tiny whoop, Eachine E013 Small Pepper, and have loved Flying it around the house. I actually bought two, plus 10 extra batteries. I’ve had so much fun learning how to fly. Thanks so much! One problem is that I have a mostly tile floor house and so the crashes take some damage (cracked frame and Spurs around the props) and I’ve had very little success in finding a glue to fix it. Let me know if you have any recommendations! I do like how this one looks very sturdy...I might just pick one up. If you give one away...send it my way! 👍😀. ps would love a sim key!

[@HubDub4]

K I have one challenge for ya, is it possible to do a better than minimum kit ($160 drone) but with everything available in one click.. It might take some work to put together with your connections but I think people would pay 10% - 20% more onthe total if it's all available in one click as opposed to 10 product finds and 10 purchases.. (build required at home naturally)

[@lovejessiedequillo9235]

Looks amazing and fun! For me this is the best kit that you recomend to us newbies!

[@meadowlarkgal25]

Where can I find extra batteries and and upgrades for the antennas on the goggles? You mentioned them in the video, but I could not find the links.

Can I ask somebody for advice? Which of the following 3 would you think is the best starter fpv quad?: eachine wizard 220, eachine racer 250 or the walkera furious 215? All in combination with flysky i6 transmitter and eachine vr006 goggles (unless somebody has a better alternative for those 2). Thanks alot!

Hey stu where is the link for for the better stuff for the goggles and batterys packs

What are the best batteries to use with this drone? I purchased the whoop charger you reviewed and I want to make sure I get the best batteries for it. If you can provide an amazon link that'd be great!

[@dougpage3172]

Really noob question here but I want to get into fpv and tried to make your $100 build but I messed it up and couldn't solder it but I still have the qx7 radio and a different headset and wondered if those would work with this tiny quad? Thanks

[@jacobjstoffer]

yes they will. it uses the frsky protocol for control so you can bind you QX7 and the goggle will work too, you just need to flip through the channels to find the right one!

[@unnamedchannel1237]

Question for you did you use Led Free solder? If so that could of been your issue. Also you can buy flux pens which help if you accidentally burn off all the flux from the solder core.

[@christopherdempsey5917]
