Can you fly a quadcopter or whoop on a 1S 18650 battery? Let's find out!

I always wanted to try the HX frame from betafpv with this. I finally did, 3 inch dual blade props with the molicel 30amp discharge 2.8 amp cell. The problem is, it sags so dang much, I only get about 5 minutes before my VTX starts going out due to low voltage... not sure how people are making this work! I had to drastically tune out the wobbles as well.

Hi All, Just to say Dave_C FPV has taken this concept now and pushed it further with the "Nano Long Range" project www.thingiverse.com/thing:4769576 I will hopefully be building this or something similar in the coming weeks and months once I pull together the necessary parts. Thanks for watching!

Nice👏👏👏

[@MarksRandomVideos]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@amerulwahid]

nice build hope u can make a video for the flight time in fpv.i wonder what happen 18650 + hd cam? 🤔

[@MarksRandomVideos]

Hi Areef. You need to look at the new nano long range #nanolongrange project. It is custom designed for 18650. Check out Rekon FPV.

how many remotes, a mixer, and the sound is like from a toilet bowl

[@jasonglass9768]

Hello, does the BetaFPV 85 Pro 2 HAVE audio?

[@MarksRandomVideos]

From memory no it does not. I only see that on my bigger quads with full size VTXs

[@michaelolivier2275]

Did you try it on the trashcan and what was the results

[@MarksRandomVideos]

Nah man, no joy. Drones have moved on now. Its all about nano long range :)

[@jasonglass9768]

Hello, do you think that the EMAX TinyHawk 2 Freestyle could work with this battery? If not, then would you be able to make it work with it?

[@MarksRandomVideos]

It would be possible but certainly not optimal and may need larger motors. Check out this for the sort of design that is optimal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIOnkmdpqLp2btU

[@zeroblade6599]

I saw a video of somebody who flew it on a pack of 2 18650's. On a single one it probably needs higher kv motors Edit: found it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6C8qnSsjKZ4faM

Guys, thanks so much for all the views on this video. We are about to hit 1000 views! Once again, apologies for the audio and check my newer videos for some improvement!

Boa meu amigo. Você usou qual bateria? Você Mudou alguma configuração no beta para poder usar 18650? Obrigado e parabéns pelo vídeo.

[@MarksRandomVideos]

Hi - Sony VTC6 or similar battery. No changes to settings in betaflight necessary - but good to reduce low battery voltage warning to 3v if using it consistently. Also check this out. www.thingiverse.com/thing:4769576

[@wellingtonmeloniosilva2232]

@@MarksRandomVideos boa. O beta voou quantos minutos em 1s? Voa bem com 18650 em campo aberto? Bom trabalho em.

[@MarksRandomVideos]

@@wellingtonmeloniosilva2232 this was more of an experiment - I think 10-15mins was possible with that quad but you wont be doing freestyle as the centre of gravity is too low. The projects on thingiverse are better, I have plans to do something similar. Here is another one kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXaZm5p_p8looc0

[@makesomemore_]

You should try a 30 or 50amp 18650 for full flat out freestyle

[@Louis-lu5wh]

Li ions have low amp draw ratings

[@alperkaya3334]

@@Louis-lu5wh ye in general they are. But there are 40amp versions of it. Search for sony vtc5a vtc6 etc.

[@Louis-lu5wh]

@@alperkaya3334 ik there are some but in comparison to li ion they are low amp draw batteries

[@alperkaya3334]

[@budgetdrone990]

Hi bro.. if i use this battery, quad need to setting or not?? Or use default setting only?

[@MarksRandomVideos]

Hi - I used default setting. Check out Dave_C FPV too - he is building a custom frame for 1S 18650 Micro LR :)

@@ghafoorhussain6677 lol!!!! One thing I am finding is viewers have high expectations and are not afraid to say so. I am trying to improve though and I appreciate the community trying to force me! It is also good some of us respect the time and effort needed for KZbin. Even to do an amateur video with poor sound quality like mines!

[@MT-xy7fw]

Terrible sound from a guy who looks like a sound mixer! Was so hard to hear, i couldn't pass 2 mins!

Newer videos are much better sorry.
