Eachine DE65/US65 Pro tiny whoop (micro drone) with GNB27 1s lipo batteries

[@colibrifpv]

I've added a long-term review, this time with a crossfire US65Pro! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYfbaZemndigbsk

Great Video and really cool tiny whoop........thumbs up my friend👍👍

[@colibrifpv]

Thanks so much for your support my friend, I truly appreciate it. Tiny whoops saved my life during the quarantine, I set up a course around my house with hula hoops and was happy for a month!

[@satorrotas]

Excellent, very good presentation and great explanations for this mini drone, it looks really good. The only time I had a mini drone and for my first test it went into my neighbor's pool, so I stopped doing it 😄

[@colibrifpv]

Ha ha That's too bad... and to funny 😂 😂 I think everyone who flies fpv drones loses one every now and again. When I got started, I was flying a Diatone 349 and went behind some trees and lost my fpv feed.... I never saw that thing again! I guess that's the great thing about crawlers, they don't really fly away...

[@satorrotas]

@@colibrifpv Yes with the crawlers it doesn't risk anything 😁 It's a shame because my career as an airline pilot is quickly stopped 😄😄

[@MrMinaroo]

I got one. Flys great. Can u include camera set up in the next video?

[@colibrifpv]

Hi Paul. Thanks a lot for watching. Yes, absolutely will do, if there is anything specific you are after just let me know. Thanks for your patience, I'm staying at a family's house to a a medical situation otherwise I would have included flight footage + setup in the original video.

i have a tiny hawk 2. i am a big eachine fan boy though. i like how this comes witha 12v power suppply. its smaller than the tinyhawk 2 so i can justify buying it

[@colibrifpv]

It's pretty hard to beat the Tiny Hawk II, its so easy to fly, but I really like the 65mm size for flying indoors... I have some little gates set up around the house and it's a blast!

[@Woo-7073]

So I crashed into a park bench with my little DE65pro . Afterwards I lost video but still had OSD. I checked cables , installed a new Caddx Ant camera . But still no video and only OSD is showing. Even tried updating Betaflight firmware and messing with VTX settings in CLI. But still haven't had any luck. I ordered a new Crazybee FRsky SPI FC but will take a month to get here . Any suggestions of what I can try in the meantime would be much appreciated.

[@colibrifpv]

Hey Artie, did you ever get it working? The exact same thing just happened to me with a Betaflight hx115. If you still have OSD then it must be the VTX, because OSD comes through the flight controller. In my case, I plan to upgrade the VTX/RX with a TBS sixty9, but since the DE65Pro uses that all in one, I think you were on the right track to replace the board...

[@Mr.Moe.C]

That drone is tough as hell, i dive from around a 75- 100 feet straight to the ground and still survives. also had hard bumps on a few concretes and still alive nothing broken!!!!

[@colibrifpv]

That's awesome, glad it's still alive! I think it's the lightweight that makes it so durable, it just bounces on impact...

[@eoinmolloy2067]

Hey I have the de65 pro with rxsr, I think something is wrong could you provide me with the cli dump?

[@colibrifpv]

Hey there Eoin, I just searched around and I couldn't find it... Maybe you could ask on the Bangood product page? For eachines, that's usually the best place to get support 👍 bit.ly/65whoop

[@Woo-7073]

Thanks for the video. I am relatively new the hobby. Do you know what type of vtx antenna the de65pro has? Is it a dipole? Im trying to figure out how to increase my range with my goggles. Im currently running 2 rhcp stubby omni antennas. Was looking into a patch antenna but wasnt sure if I should get a linear patch or a circular patch to get more range out of my de65pro?

[@colibrifpv]

Hi there, thanks for watching! Actually, the vtx antenna is just a copper wire. The limitation is going to be the 25mw vtx, which should be enough for indoor use or for flying around the park until you go behind some trees. If you are looking for more range, the easiest way might be to upgrade the antennas on your goggles. What goggles are you using?

[@Woo-7073]

@@colibrifpv I just received a pair of Skyzone o4x. I updated the firmware and tried both the mix mode with the steady view module and diversity mode. Using one straight AXii stubby and a right angle Axii stubby both rhcp antennas. I also tried going back to the stock dipole antennas but could only get about 40 to 50 feet way in an open park with no trees. I would start to get signal break up and lots of fuzz in my goggles.

[@benbarrett2912]

would one of these work with a tx16s controller? im thinking of getting the controller to practice in the simulator and was hoping something like this would let me practice in the house aswell before i get good enough to build something bigger

[@colibrifpv]

Yes, your tx16s has a built in multi-protocol module so you will be able to bind it to the onboard frsky receiver.

[@lucalive1302]

I have Jumper T16 Radio what version should buy: Flysky or Frsky reciver. Or both are compatibile with this radio?

[@colibrifpv]

Short answer: both are compatible. Since the T16 has a multiproticol module built in, it can support all major radio frequencies. Buy whichever is cheaper 👍

[@eoinmolloy2067]

To fly it 1s do just need a plug f9r the second connector or is there a specific setup?

[@colibrifpv]

Yes, to fly 1s you would need to use an adapter for the second connector, basically just closing the circuit. If you only wanted to fly 1s, you could even just cut the second connector off, but then you would have to solder on a new one to go back to 2s...

[@lucalive1302]

@@colibrifpv where i can get this adapter?

[@calaclan8875]

Are u using d16 mode to bind that?

[@colibrifpv]

Hey there, I have actually bound it using both d8 and d16, but right now I'm using d8, with a multiprotocol module in my frsky xlite s, becuase supposedly the range is better and its what they recommend in the manual. Both will work though.

[@colibrifpv]

This or the Tiny Hawk 2? 🤔

[@СтасФаєрфлай]

So which is better? Cant choose between this and Tinyhawk 2 :(

[@colibrifpv]

@@СтасФаєрфлай Honestly, they are both great options. The advantage of the US65Pro is that you can get it with an external receiver and you get a better charger in the box. If you want to go with a spectrum, flsky, or crossfire radio, you should definitely go with this one. The advantage of the Tinhawk is that it's super easy to fly for beginners, but can only be bound to an frsky radio. If you already have frsky, and want a trainer that is as easy to fly as possible, the TH2 would be a great choice. Hope it helps!
