BetaFPV Beta75X 2S Brushless Whoop Review😍

[@AlbertKimTV]

I may do a mods video swapping out the camera and canopy. If you are interested in this video please reply to this comment.

[@electroddxful]

I would love to see that. It will be great. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@VicknairDoesThings]

I am interested in a mod vid as well!!

[@louhmx1136]

Mods would Interesting to see

[@frankbarajas]

Yeah baby, mod away bro!

[@terakk]

Please do.

[@MrShutterBug]

Yes, they are working on a TPU camera mount for the production model. Thanks for another great video! These things are so much fun!

[@AlbertKimTV]

I've got the STL file so I'm gonna print another mount in TPU... hopefully the last canopy I have will hold up to my abuse!

[@grahamjw75]

finally a micro doing a decent power loop, I am excited to see how these are progressing so quickly from even just a few years ago!

[@frankbarajas]

What a sweet little bird and so feature packed. What more could you ask for in a whoop? BetaFPV sure does know what they are doing and they do it so well. This is the new TopGun for whoops...I feel the need...the need for speed.

[@seraldin21]

I have a feeling that 2019 is going to be the year of the 2S "whoop". I looks perfect for flying around my neighborhood (I don't feel comfortable flying a 3 inch near cars/houses/kids). I was on the verge of building a 2S whoop... then this was announced. I ordered a couple of days ago. It's cheaper and better than what I think I'd have ended up with had I built myself.

[@acidfpv7243]

Congrats, Betafpv. You finally made a winner!

[@FPVSkittles]

10:55 I have been guilty of saying "A whoop that flies like 5 inch" so let me clarify, what I mean. The 75X is still a whoop at heart because it has the nylon ducted frame, but and it is capable of doing most all the acrobatics that are typically associated with a 5" drone. Now obviously I dont think it flies better or even as well as a 5" or even 2" non-ducted micro like the GT-R90, those are a different class all together. The idea is that the 75X and 65X combine the ability to do the 5" acrobatics and racing with most the advantages of a traditional tiny whoop, like the safety and toy-like ability to be able to fly around the neighborhood and/or smaller parks with people around. Having the ducts means even if you crashed into someone hard it would not be a major injury. Once you move to unguarded props, even on a similar sized 2S, you have to take a lot more care how you fly around most areas especially if people could walk into your flight path. Also the 75X is super durable; like most whoops you can crash pick it up (or turtle mode since its brushless) and get right back to flying on 95% of crashes. You crushed the camera mount once but the rest was fine and once that is TPU it should be able to take that hit. In all of our testing no one broke a single 75X frame!! Finally my favorite part about a traditional tiny whoop is that you can fly it almost anywhere anytime! So Between the 75X and the 65X I hope people will be able to find one perfect for flying around where they live so that everyone can have a satisfying FPV experience more often.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yeah my 5 inch flyers are very discriminating whenever they hear something that isn't 5-inch is talked about like it is a 5-inch. Whatever... Regardless, this is the fastest, most acrobatic whoop I've ever flown. If they want to dispute that, good luck to them!

[@cccagley5276]

What an excellent response. I like BetaFPV products, esp now that they are moving into F4 2s brushless. Are you affiliated with them?

[@FPVSkittles]

Yes, well sort of, I am part of the creation/design team for the X series drones. BetaFPV expanded and improved upon a "Power Whoop" build our group of friends had been experimenting with over the last year or so. If you check out Nate Payne (Mr Shutterbug)'s youtube channel you can see some history of the progression of the Power Whoop build. kzbin.info/door/kSK8m82tMekBEXzh1k6RKA to ... oh and you could check out my channel too if you wanted haha: kzbin.info

[@AlbertKimTV]

I'm not affiliate with them if you mean sponsored or something like that. They just sent me a sample to review like other vendors.

[@jarrodbath2375]

A ducted fan will never truly fly like a 5” racer/freestyle I understand what you are meaning. I cut my canopy and raised my camera to 50 deg and can matty and trippy spin the heck out of my 75x kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp64oquZjNSaZ8k

[@didactylos4diddy474]

The commentary during the LoS flight indicates to me that this is better suited to the more experienced whoop flier rather than beginners :D

[@AlbertKimTV]

Probably. It was a bit faster than I was expecting. I've gotten used to the speed now after a few flights. If they can replace the canopy and camera mount with something more durable then it will be OK for beginners. The frame itself is very strong.

[@Kabab]

Super impressive as all the Beta products tend to be. How is it indoors? I would expect it to be a bit too powerful maybe for indoor? I was just actually looking at the snappy or snapper or whatever earlier today. Was wondering how the 75 would feel compared to the 65. The brushed King Kong whoops in 65 and 75 are very different. The 65 feels super nimble while the 75 feels stiff and lethargic.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Don't have the 65X yet. You can fly the 75X indoors if you are skilled enough. I was able to fly it indoors but in a small space you can only fly so fast before you don't have control. Indoors the 75x doesn't look any faster than the Snapper7 if you want to maintain control. I had to fly it outside to show the speed it's capable of.

[@Kabab]

@@AlbertKimTV I'm not sure that's a good thing for it to be so fast. The snapper 65 should actual weigh less than a whoop since the motors should weigh less. My biggest concern with all these tiny things are the ESC boards. In the past they would just shutter and dip all over the place. I hope to get one of these things soon but I feel like it really needs the F4.

[@Kabab]

@@AlbertKimTV how's the snapper? Good overall performance? Not like speed or anything. Just handling and general abilities

[@AlbertKimTV]

If you're trying to do freestyle acro with the Snapper7 you'll be disappointed. You'll have a better chance with the 75X. The Snapper7 is good for flying indoors and Whoop tracks.... I imagine people have raced with it. The problem with the Snapper7 is the metal ducts which can bend in a hard crash. So people who crash a lot prefer the nylon frames even though they are flexible and more difficult to tune. Overall I think the brushless whoops handle better than the brushed ones.

[@Kabab]

@@AlbertKimTV I have tried so many of these small things and never really liked any of them. I just don't understand why there so attractive. Even when I know I won't like them.

[@theflyingfish7338]

The only quad I've ever pre-ordered.

[@mattkins99]

Same here. I've seen a few fly in person and that sold me on getting one.

[@ResiNissi]

Loved this guy so far

[@lensflare9116]

Agree with you :)

[@rolandburrows4859]

A great traveling quad to fly while working or playing.

[@FrequentFlyerRC]

Seems too fast for indoors for sure! I think they should make the canopy tpu as well. Too fast and fragile is never a good combination! Awesome that it has Smart Audio though. Are the ESCs loud enough for lost model alarm?

[@AlbertKimTV]

I didn't see any info on the board (it's new) and I didn't want to take it apart any more but I suspect the pads are there somewhere. The motor beep is not very loud (small motors) but if you're within about 10 feet you can hear it.

[@BGUFF]

Nice review Albert! Glad you like the tune! Worked hard on that 👌🏽

[@AlbertKimTV]

It showed someone cared about how it flew versus just a bunch of parts slapped together and just running on defaults. It makes a big difference for the pilot who just wants to fly and not deal with all that setup nonsense.

[@michael_hahnell]

I am going to order the Beta 75X with 3S. I have the Jumper T8SG transmitter so can use any transmitter. Which transmitter would you recommend with the 75X ? Thanks for any advise

[@AlbertKimTV]

Transmitter choice is very personal and subjective. I liked the T8SG but others did not. It will work, but whether you will like the "feel" of the radio or not, I do not know.

[@michael_hahnell]

@@AlbertKimTV Thanks the jumper will work with any receiver. Which receiver protocol would you recommend with the Beta 75X ? Thanks

[@michael_hahnell]

@@AlbertKimTV I got my Beta 75X 3S only to find that the FCB was damaged (Worked intitially when connected to Betaflight 3.X om my PC But then gave up the ghost) is it something I did ? Or random CPB fault. Nevry got to fly it

[@michael_hahnell]

Send it back for repair ...... I wonder how many batteries I should get for the 75X ? Now have 2 pcs of 3C 300 mAh

[@DJOetken]

The only tiny whoop I own is a qx65. I love it because I live in an urban area and it's what I get to fly the most. I am however burning through brushed motors fast.. I want a brushless acro capable tiny whoop, and was considering the snapper 7. This kinda seems like where its @ though! I'm in love and I want one!

[@DRTOLLZ]

I kept my Rx wires out the back after flipping it around because I had no way to access the usb port with the way you have it (didn't want to clip the wires by the solder joints). Doesn't look like you have much room either.

[@DroneLoversFPV]

Love that camera mount, doyou have a link to 3D print some of those?!?

[@karldunn1464]

I like it, very nice, fast. Hopefully they'll replace that frail canopy and camera mount. Being that its a 2s whoop that's a big plus. Great video. Thanks Albert

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yeah, the canopy is OK for 1S but 2S is too fast for it!

[@asian_raisin]

Unfortunately I bought parts to build a super lightweight 2.5 inch or else this would be in my collection. Thanks again for making me want to spend money.

[@dronereviewman9580]

Albert this is what i need in my life!! My dumb a## got a Qx90cpro and broke the frame 1st flight!!!! Went to put into a different frame and the wire pulled out of one of the motors!!! But im happy to say i flew the fly-egg yesterday and i LOVED IT!!!!!! Thanks again and I'm looking forward to buying another one from you one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT REVIEW & GREAT FLYING!!!!!! 👍😀👍

[@allennickles3970]

I got to have one of these....thanks for the review

[@bleromacfly]

Nice video again. Would this one bind to the DYS M.Q ?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Not with the XM receiver. You need a D8 receiver but you can just swap it out.

[@VicknairDoesThings]

Dude, you sold me on this guy 👍 I would like to see the camera/canopy mod as well if you end up getting around to that

[@emotionalbeats7178]

Can u just solder back the wire into the motor?

[@archer4922]

Sweet I was hoping you would get one. I’m def getting one of these to play with.

[@arjunmelwani4788]

Hi Albert, I was wondering, what do u recommend: Beta75x vs mobula 7 vs a 2inch(like a baby hawk r pro? A friend said m7 has lots of washout too when doing 70 deg yaw spins. Washout is something I want to avoid. I heard beta75x can do 3s, so I also was wondering if that was true? If there is 3s, can u test it for washout? I also was thinking a 2inch as I want to have no washout, but be able to fly outside my house. Thanks!

[@lensflare9116]

Very nice whoop!

[@Hammer-dx2xd]

Excellent Review !! Can't wait to get mine ! Now I want it even more..... ROFL :)

[@Darelica13]

That's awesome! Any plan giving it away? It would be a nice replacement for my betafpv75 pro, i got frustrated with it, after a few crashes the motors gets noisy and shaky, i already replaced it 3 times.

[@AlbertKimTV]

This one is gonna stay in my collection for now.

[@paulr3556]

I use 2x canopies, one on top of the other, way stronger, n not much weight increase.😉

[@DroneOn]

The imbalance you speak of, like coming out of dives while on yaw it kinda "kicks out" we been calling that "whoop blowout syndrome". Reverse "props out" prop direction helps allot but does not eliminate this from my experience. Great video.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yeah they have this set with reverse props but it's still there a little.

[@SteveO4478]

I would like fly this thing indoors. Have you tried it yet Albert? Or is it too powerful. I can see myself doing power loops in the house!

[@AlbertKimTV]

I did try but it's not faster indoors than a 1S brushed whoop assuming I don't want to crash it. My indoor space is too small.

[@SteveO4478]

Albert Kim I have a descent amount of space so it may be ok for me. This thing looks really awesome!

[@SteveChiller]

I buy a lot of betafpv stuff. I like them. I want this too!

[@marsmachine1156]

Excellent review! I love all the specs of this one. But durability not that great at the moment. I am happy with my Snapper 7 but it just feels a bit flimsy, lost screws, bendable ducts etc. I am looking for a bit of tank for flying indoors this winter. LDARC ET100 a good option? It lacks OSD and all that stuff but might be worth the trade off. Keep up the great work Albert! Amazing the amount of vids you post!

[@AlbertKimTV]

The ET100 is definitely a tank but it's also heavy. The 65X might be a good option but I'm waiting for get that to review.

[@ep1kone]

I have whoops and the et100 and unless it’s a bigger area and maybe trying at a track, then whoops, or 65mm brushless, are much better. Whoops with a good frame are very durable due to low weight.

[@Spideystrat]

Hopefully the escs wont burn out on customers

[@niklazz7037]

What I like about this more than the mobula 7 is the fact that it has an xt30 for a better punch, but also the RANGE! with an xm+ and 200mw you should get better range than Mobula 7 for sure. Price difference though...

[@AlbertKimTV]

I'm not sure why going super far with a whoop is that important. The Mobula7 goes far enough for me without any issues at most of the parks I fly at.

[@niklazz7037]

@@AlbertKimTV for me sometimes going a bit further it's really fun because I do long punch lines of speed near the ground (proximity) or trees . 25mw imo starts breaking up a bit to fast for me, that is why I prefer an xm+ and 100mw and up, if I need to go that far I can! it is not a limit... and with a 2s setup you cover distance quiete fast!

[@paulterl4563]

Do you believe that this one is better that the mobula 7 ????

[@AlbertKimTV]

Mobula7 is better IMO

[@constipatedcow22]

@@AlbertKimTV what why?!

[@isaaclyonsf1]

Awesome, whoop whoop!

[@RunesLegacy]

How do you think the camera compares to the eos1? Apparently this camera setup is the caddx Firefly. On their website the same specs are listed for both cameras although the eos1 has a larger lense.

[@AlbertKimTV]

The EOS is a lot better and what they are using isn't the Firefly

[@RunesLegacy]

+Albert Kim (marblekit) Okay thanks, was misinformed.

Tho I like how it looks and 2s sounds great outdoors, I'm gonna stick to alienwhoop zer0 FC and build a solid acro 65 whoop. But I am concerned about BetaFPV because I ordered on first September and its fifth here now and still they haven't shipped my order, and my support ticket is still unanswered after 20h. Kind of disappointing customer service experience.

@@jandomingo9806 In my post I'm talking about generic order, i didint preorder 75x. I ordered bunch of stuff for a 65 brushed build. Tho I made a ticket already asking to cancel my order, because waiting a week to ship in stock items is redicules. But thats my experience.

[@MCsCreations]

Wow! Fantastic little model, Albert! 😮 Great flying!!!

[@Bikelife-TEZ]

kim i love that whoop im going get one

[@goingcrazy00]

You never went full throttle in this video did you?

[@AlbertKimTV]

I did on the power loops.

[@charliedcho]

Hi Albert, thanks for the quick reply. I actually got it to bound, as indicated by the red led turning off and the green led light staying solid. Never had a problem before binding my quads but still not receiving any input in betaflight on my taranis x-lite. I'm confused.

[@AlbertKimTV]

A solid green light should mean you have a bind. If you shut off the x-lite, you get a red blinking light? If that's the case, you might have a wrong receiver setup on yours... wrong UART selected or wrong protocol in the config. I would check those.

[@charliedcho]

Thanks Albert. When I turn off the x-lite, it turns to a solid red light.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yeah, you have it bound, so the problem is in the config. It might also be connected to the board incorrectly so I would also check that.

[@charliedcho]

Hi Albert, sorry for all the questions, I appreciate the help. I checked the configuration and everything seems to be in the right place and the connections seem solid. Even though I get no feedback in Betaflight (version 10.4.1), I am still able to fly the drone. Never encountered this before. Do you know the reasoning behind this? Thanks Albert.

[@sarasamann4160]

Bought my boyfriend this for christmas, not very drone smart myself. Does this work with Jumper T12 controller?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yes, it should work

[@MadMarcWinnipeg]

oh man ! I think i want one.

[@etops.flight]

How to the push-on props hold up. Are they prone to flying off as they don’t have screws securing them?

[@AlbertKimTV]

For the most part they will stay on. If you crash pretty hard, they might pop off.

[@etops.flight]

Albert Kim once they come off, are they loose and will require replacement or not?

[@markeuroeufemio8237]

Do you prefer to use the stick type 2S 450mah on that whoop?.. or does it fit the mount?.. thanks..

I haven't tried, but I prefer the lighter lipo.

[@AllenBrooks]

Best line ever "if someone says it flies like a 5" there lying!" No shit, if someone compares a 11 series micro to a 5" obviously can't fly a 5" or still rock a nazi32😂😂😂 Great review, always honest...this will be my indoor micro racer this winter at whoop races...

[@AlbertKimTV]

Don't tell that to the guy I got into a flame war over that line. 😜

[@engizmo]

how do you feel this compares with a kk 115? I get the feeling 2s is too much for tight indoor tracks. So thinking this is better compared with small out door quads like the kk115. thanks Albert :)

[@AlbertKimTV]

the 75X is a lot smaller and lighter and also more nimble that the 115. The 75X will do better on tighter tracks.

[@engizmo]

@@AlbertKimTV so for outdoor park, playground and tree canopy flying which would you choose kk115 or the this new whoop.

[@simonstalschus2239]

looks great, it's a shame that it is so expensive, it's almost 2 snapper 7s.

[@WBBlocker]

The 75x I bought did not come with batteries. The nano tech 300 mah you showed-does that fit without modifying the frame? Any other batteries you would suggest? Thanks!

[@AlbertKimTV]

The battery I used is in the description. I did not try anything else.

[@etops.flight]

I’m thinking seriously about this 75X but it’s a tad pricey for the so-so camera performance, the poor quality of the shell and camera mount. Throwing more money at it for 3D printed parts just doesn’t seem sensible. I’ve seen people re-solder the XT30 connector facing forwards and have the XM+ antenna out the back. Somehow mounting the antennas up front, they will be more prone damage when crashing. Otherwise I prefer this design over the Mobula.

[@leffler2]

How does it compare to the LDARC ET115 with 2S?

[@AlbertKimTV]

The 75X is smaller and lighter and almost as fast. The 75x has a 1.57 inch prop the ET115 at 2.3 inch prop so the bigger prop will always win a drag race.

[@WildCaptures]

Another random question, I have some old new parts. Luminere 1806 2300kv motors, Afro Race Spec 20amp ESC'S and an Emax Skyline Naze 32 flashed with the last available Betaflight, what frame would you throw this junk on, and don't say nothing 😂 It's gonna be used for a camera platform and cruising.
