QUESTION! Do you have any plans to butcher one of your GOPROs into the Lite? betafpv.com/products/betafpv-gopro-lite-camera ,AND if so what build would it go on straight away?

"Diatone Taycan The Best Cinewhoop?" After considering all available reviews: Without doubt.

[@aurelhollowgram]

Hello, I bought it, I could not have the version "6s" to run it in 4s as you do, but hey, in short, for me, it's really the best in front of the others, apart. I have tested almost all of them, however, and this one is super stable and for cinematics, it's just great. (and solid and easier to maintain ..) and one day I would pass it in "dji fpv". I haven't had the version with the "vtx" "tbs", but the diatone works well and I think it's the same result. another thing: I had a 45 ° usb that goes up and not down like you, and also it's not in type "C" but normal. there were also antenna tubes, and "almost" everything you need even more !. also, I found that the propellers make a lot of noise too because I took several different sets, and I can confirm that the best for this model are the "Azure power" "3050" they are less noisy, and touch downright the "ducts" it takes a few turns of the propellers so that they do not touch more, but we can say that there must be almost nothing between the "ring" and the propeller ", it touches! and therefore a" hover point "by 9 point less! so since they are closer, there must be an additional push effect for sure! (info interesting.)

What's your opinion of the $110 cinewhoop build Albert put together and how would that compare to the Taycan?

[@rogueFactor]

i watched Albert's video and that's a great build. I'd have to go Taycan just based on the sexy ducts. Not that you were asking me. my badicle.

[@limestone_xyz]

would also love to know. They both seem pretty capable :)

[@RonnyKing]

I really like the taycan frame. I did a couple of projects using an iFlight Megabee and was REALLY annoyed when I broke a duct after a fairly innocent crash. The Taycan (and the Bumblebee for that matter) have a way more durable frame that make these cinewhoops like actual tanks!

[@LimitlesssSky]

[@WhaddonRoad]

Really nice video, thanks for showing both cameras. Have a 7 Black and need to put it to use with a Diatone

[@johanbergkvist8834]

The edits where you go from DVR to GoPro footage just makes me appreciate how fantastic the GoPro 7 is. I have a Nazgul on order, I feel I will need a GP7 to go with it. Excellent review!

[@AndyRCchannel]

That's actually the hero 8 but you are right the 7 is great. Cheers

[@johanbergkvist8834]

@@AndyRCchannel In footage like this, would a youtube viewer at 1440p be able to tell the difference between 7 and 8?

[@gautamkrishna7421]

Johan Bergkvist I think you can tell just by audio. I prefer the audio of the 7 as the 8 seems more whiny. Also you can tell from how ‘strong’ the hyper smooth is. 7 uses 1.0 and 8 2.0

[@fpvwalleit-drones2884]

Hy AndyRC, again a superb video and review!! I wonder if you still have the snap when you do a stall-type dive? I have the same as you have. Or is this type of drone not made for s-bend-like stall manoeuvres?

[@jezMki]

i have that same snap too and I have the 4s version and if its a bit windy that snap is even wors and sometimes it happens by just turning, a real bummer

Great video Andy. I am so happy I bought the iflight Titan DC5 on 4S, flys excellent and getting an average of 6 min then landing with a 4S 1500 130C lipo. :)

[@SwissDroneAS]

Great video! How loud is this drone? Can you compare it with a DJI drone?

[@TheSzymonc]

Thanks for the video! Interesting comment on using 4s battery with 6s version

[@fcass]

I bought one of these frames and a tyro79 kit for a friend and built him a cinewhoop with those. Building the frame was ok but I didn't care for their use of tiny nylon spacers to make everything match up. It felt like they used parts from another 3" diatone Frame to come up with this design. The resulting cinewhoop was fine and cheap overall. The frame was more expensive than the tyro79 entire drone though. It flew fine but had some tuning issues. Once it got moving fast certain manuvers would do what you described, a rather violent washout. It probably felt violent because it's heavy, so a lot of sudden power was needed to regain control. Thanks for the review. And I really like your 6s motor idea

[@bl4ckr4bbit]

How does this compare to the geprc cinego?

[@agentbertram4769]

Lovely video Andy! Can I set one of these up using my Macbook? The video quality seems first rate except for the bit where you fly over the trees where the image on my screen pixelates badly. Is this my Macbook computer or is it the camera?

Thanks Andy 🤜, I bought one.

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

I'm getting some wobbles while simply flying. Is there any way I can remedy that so it's smooth?

[@scottd8624]

Quick question for any quadcopter expert. After a few years hiatus i decided to get back into quads. In my opinion Diatone always made great products and great bang for buck. As such, i bought new Taycon 6s without any research or due diligence. Very disappointed with Diatone now. Connecting peripherals, sensors, rxs, etc used to be easy. Why do you suppose Diatone added an F411 flight controller if not to cut cost? Two (2) UART on a "cinedrone"? Am i missing something here? Appreciate some insight and commentary....

[@ragecustom]

I have found the Ah battery monitor to be quite accurate on my Diatone GTR more or less mimics what I put into the Lipos after flight. looks like its working well on this model too. looking forward to receiving my 3' Taycan. 6s Power suite. Great video Andy Thanks!

[@avronaut]

Why should the 6S version with 4S be quieter than the 4S version with 4S? Since the two versions use the same props, they will have to have the same RPM exaxt at the same weight, e.g. to to float. Ergo they will also produce the same noise.

[@AndyRCchannel]

when you fly fpv its easy to give it more throttle than is needed to give the same result. the volume isnt specific to the hover but more the flight in general

[@avronaut]

@@AndyRCchannel 😁I expected that kind of answer 😉 This can also be achieved by limiting the power with a dual rate on the transmitter or with flight conditions in Betaflight. It is therefore unnecessary to buy the 6S version instead of the 4S. The real advantage of the 6S version is that it has stronger ESCs and of course more power. But it is also more expensive.

[@redcanaryman]

Hi Andy hope I find you well, I watch all your videos and love them all, as being new to the hobby and a bit long in the tooth it's a very steep learning curve. Can you please give me some advice i have gust got a firefly 2 2.5k camera and would like your advice as to what would be the smallest Whoop that would carry it any advice would be most appropriate, thanks

[@pergius]

this taycan have already payed itself for me in my business, so I would give it both thumbs up! I also got the 6s version and running it mostly on 4s.. its just great and the vtx is superclean!

[@Joey.Alford]

hey i know this comment is 3 months old but I recently picked up a 6s cinewhoop that im running with 4s batteries.. Im wondering how youre finding your throttle on your setup? when i have a gopro on mine the whoop feels wildly underpowered and i can barely lift off. did you experience the same or no? and also what mah battery size are you running?

[@omar.p3rez]

Perfect thanks for the 4s battery tip what time of fly you get with the 4s 1300mah. Also can you share what betaflight version are you running and pits, filters settings. My Taycan 6s wobble a lot and always get very hot motors

[@Reaperaxe9]

I have the 6s!!! I absolutely love it but I did already slightly crack the plastic after a crash into concrete lol. But this quad is awesome! Does the flight time differ on the 4s battery?

[@AndyRCchannel]

Five and a half minutes here

[@Reaperaxe9]

Why do all these continue the foam on the inside of the ducts..just adds extra weight, first thing i would do is trim it all out.

[@-Sullens-]

Can you do a build video on what parts are good for building a cinewhoop

[@AdrianoCasemiro]

Looks like a well put together quad. Great flying and review, as always. Would you recommend this one to a mediocre pilot? It's not for me, it's for a friend who really loves the hobby, but crashes all the time...

[@AndyRCchannel]

Not really. The protectors are designed to protect what they hit rather than the model. For a complete beginner I'd suggest something small like the emax tinyhawk. They are pretty robust but if he's crashing all the time nothing is bullet proof other than a simulator so if say start there

I have had the analog 4s version for a while. Interestingly my ducts are 3D printed and it has a Mamba VTX. I have actually never been able to fly it because ever since the first attempt to fly it, any time it bumps anything, like the ground when trying to take off, the FC freezes completely. I checked black box logs and there is a huge voltage spike that freezes the FC. I put a 1000uF capacitor on there to help, but it did not change anything. Do you are anybody else have an idea of what might be wrong?

[@ScreamGreek]

All the other videos completely tone down the acro but you’ve got some maneuvers here that really show off the drone in ways other reviewers haven’t done. I think this will be my next purchase.

[@zenflight2450]

I burned 2 motors so far on 6s, no hard flying. Just melts the wire protection and welds the phases together. The motors dont come hot after flight but it keeps burning motors. Could it be RPM filter setup is just not smart for cinewoops or maybe high PIDs? Can you link ur PID settings Andy so i can compare?

[@Epillon]

Are your PID settings and filtering listed anywhere? I love my Taycan MX369 but whenever I do anything that uses alot of throttle it'll shake violently when I'm slowing it down. It flies smoothly, hovers nicely and will punch up hard, but on the way down its just wobbling like crazy and I can't get rid of it!

Who knows the resources where we can find professional PID settings for popular PNP versions. Today I am very interested in PID tuning for Diatone Taycan PNP version 6S. Thanks for any help....
