EMAX BABYHAWK Review - Micro Brushless FPV Race Drone

[@knuktunes]

Dustin, Your channel was one of the first things I watched for drones. I now have a s500 pixhawk build, a babyhawk with taco rc carbon fibre, a diatone crusader gt2, a rakonheli framed e010s, 2 Syma X5c's and 2 X8c's. I blame you. LOL

[@axeledlund2057]

Very quick qad for the size and nice antenna mod. Good range and fpv.

[@DustinDunnill]

Hi Dustin I use a rubber band for mounting the battery on my Baby hawk without any vibrations on 3s, I hook the rubber band around the camera stand from left to right or right to left pushing the fc board down against the foam pad. Ohh and an amazing motor upgrade are the DYS 1104 4000kv the baby hawk will flip trip 3s like wow.

[@DustinDunnill]

+Denny Lol...right on Denny. Thanks for sharing that 😉👍

[@TimDBarnett]

Hey Dustin, this looks like an awesome little quad for FPV, just what I have been waiting for. Those 2S 800mAh batts do look a bit heavy but it looks to handle them ok. I have a lot of 500mAh 2S batts I use on my 800mm 3D foamie planes and they are about half the size of the 800's you are using so that is what I think I would use. I think this is my next quad purchase, thanks to your awesome review. Thanks for what you do, man! And thanks for the little Syma/Tenergy X20 giveaway, I guess I did everything right, they are sending mine and I can't wait to fly it. You're the best! Aloha!!!

[@alexislechevalier1022]

"The crash master channel" LOL ^^ Thanks for the deep tests of these fliers, Dustin Crasher Dunnill! ^^

[@DustinDunnill]

+Alexis Lechevalier Lol. Every FPV race drone review should have some sort of crashing in it ✌😁✌

[@pradojim2985]

really love your channel bro, and also the reviews of the items

[@DustinDunnill]

+prado jim 👍😁

[@scootroter4859]

Nice review DDDD! (Destruction Derby Dustin Dunnill! LOL) Yeah, that HAULIN' HEAD ON into the cyclone fence did this one in! Way to give us a durability test DDDD! No buzzer, no OSD, and that flutter counts me out of this one. Love the honest reviews! Long time subscriber for the thoroughness and honesty! Keep it up DDDD! (;^)

[@DustinDunnill]

+Scoot Roter Lol.. I do crash alot don't I. This one wasn't great out of the box. Hoping to review the R version soon 👍

[@brobewok2303]

Complete review as always. Thumbs up. 👍👍

[@DustinDunnill]

+SIGORIS Thanks 👍👍🍻

[@WildCaptures]

I love these brushless micros nice flying👍

[@DustinDunnill]

+Steve B ✌😁👍

[@thedane9555]

you can make a New frame design the guts in it is the same as flight test gremlinpowerpack as what goes with the jello i softmounted my cameracase a little pidtuning an that took care of that plus if you want (Need) more power you can upgrades the esc to the emaxx 12amp then it Will love 3s an 4s packs like a cat on catnip Hope it whas helpful an feed flying from denmark with love

[@DustinDunnill]

+The Dane I've ordered a 100mm CF frame today to move it into. We'll see how it goes. Thanks man.😁👍

[@thedane9555]

Dustin Dunnill thanks man a good luck and happy building

[@afrog2666]

It should have some low voltage alarm so you won`t actually lose it somewhere, I mean, just dying mid-flight is pretty spooky IMO. Btw, must be weird for the mailman delivering a package with that little thing wizzing around the house lol xD

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

always awesome reviews brother.gave you a shout out on my Instagram page. thanks for the awesome work you do Dustin.means a lot to all of us. And still digging the intro bro👍Cheers and happy flying!

[@DustinDunnill]

+Big drone flyer77 Hey, that's awesome thank you man 👍🍻

[@meme-hj5rs]

Great review as always. What keeps me purchasing one of this for indoor is ... which one ? Babyhawk Kingkong gt90 Eachine Lizard 95 ? I never had a brushless FPV quad Any suggestion ?

[@DustinDunnill]

+me shkruaj indoor the KingKong will be safest I think.

[@meme-hj5rs]

Dustin Dunnill that said from the king of quad-crash-test means that it should be the correct one I will get. Thanks for the suggestion and keep up the great work.

[@FrequentFlyerRC]

Cool review! Vibration is because the props are severely unbalanced! Use Gemfan/RotorX 2035BN props to get rid of vibration and make it all the way awesome!

[@DustinDunnill]

+Frequent Flyer RC Thanks man. I'll give them a try. Ordered a babyhawk CF frame to move it to also.

[@JR8029]

I bought the same setup only the bnf version. Except this is my first time setting up a tx and I’m a bit confused on this I can’t get betaflight to respond to my qx7. What is the dmode supposed to be in? What are the receiver settings in betaflight? And what else might I be missing?

[@dalesiemens4155]

What drone do you like to fly?

[@Taematoe]

Hey if you waterproof the board with fingernail polish you could fly it in the rain. The motors should be fine.

[@DustinDunnill]

+M Beck Yep. I'd imagine that could be done for most 👍

[@Justwantahover]

I used "Estapol" clear lacquer, is that ok?

[@tedcharp]

Another great review. Thanks Dustin

[@jakesanchez365]

it’s so cute it’s almost like a baby......hawk!

[@alansavage9656]

Excellent review / flight Dustin!! I picked up the Babyhawk back in July at Flite Fest East. I have the Taranis QX7 like you do & when I go into Betaflight & click the receiver tab, the colored bars that are on there disappear after a second or 2. What could cause this? Thanks in advance

[@toddmummert4853]

thanx dude ,, I'm having trouble trying to bind mine within x seven

[@cyrilgest]

hey, i have one, but there is problem, when i put the full power the drone make a flip and stop to go. after the flip it's very difficult tonot crash. do you know what can be resolv this problem? thanks :)

[@juanfischer3816]

looking at this and the lizard 95, im a begginer and im on a budget. I have a tiny whoop that I can fly aound the house pretty well. which quad do u think would be easier to use and upgrade in the future? and which is better value for money (considering that neww bee drone has a babyhawk with 2 bats and a reciever for 99.99) thanks!

[@LookingForEntertainment112]

lol dude, you love that fence. Thanks for the review.

[@fritzryan79]

good video man but you need to get your modes right air mode Acura mode attitude it's Horizon level mode and Acro.

[@DustinDunnill]

lol... what's "Acura" mode...

[@fritzryan79]

Dustin Dunnill auto correct acro is what I ment. look up what air mode is

[@chrismiller8624]

Wheres your Spark review Dustin. Looking forward to your thoughts

[@DustinDunnill]

+chris miller on the works ✌😀

[@inelonwetrust9169]

Crazy question, if your predispossed to motion sickness while playing first-person games, what I get sick flying fpv?

[@DustinDunnill]

+Ay G Most likely yes.

[@LookingForEntertainment112]

Ay G FPV games have a lot more latency and frame-rate issues. I get very motion sick when I play FPV games. I also got motion sickness from flying FPV, but I desensitised myself by watching FPV flying videos on KZbin with Google Cardboard/Samsung VR goggles for a month or so before I tried FPV flying. I have zero issues now. I still get stupidly sick from FPV games though.

[@inelonwetrust9169]

Wes Ness Thank you

[@LookingForEntertainment112]

Ay G No problem, hopefully it works for you! This is an awesome hobby

[@55amps]

F3 or F4?

[@peterreilly9740]

try adding tpa in betaflight for that flutter

[@DustinDunnill]

+blaze allday 👍

[@peterreilly9740]

Dustin Dunnill lol hope it helped im getting the lizard monday

[@cfsmithjr]

could the fluttering be due to the prop variances?

[@tcoe04f150]

When installing the frsky xm+ receiver will it bind to the fly sky transmitter or do I need to buy a taranis q7

[@2004wrxman]

Nice vid! keep them coming!

[@DustinDunnill]

+David Johnson ✌😀

[@MrKubben90]

can i bind a flysky transmitter to futaba receiver? im thinking abt buying the kingkong 130 gt with the futaba receiver, but i dont know if it will work.. first time buying a quadcopter haha

[@fritzryan79]

air mode is what keeps your motor spinning when you're zero throttle for acro tricks basically and better control

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks. This is my first ever review. Thanks for explaining everything for me... :/ Just kidding. I am being sarcastic.. please don't take it personally.. You are right, I had just forgotton what mode I set it at or it came with stock air or acro

[@Edgewalker001]

This might be an option, it's brushless of course which as you've said might not be the best choice for a novice like me but maybe if I put some ballast on it in the form of a heavier battery like you did? XD It would also be a valuable learning experience to solder on my own receiver, since I haven't done much electronics work since highschool. And it's FrSky compatible out of the box... Provided you add the right receiver that is =p There seems to be a ton of mini receivers for FrSky but none that's just labeled "Micro RX", there is one called the XM plus but that one lacks telemetry. This one also sports that friendly red battery connector which means you can stick most 2S models into it straight out of the charger with no swapping plugs, which I immediately love the idea of. And finally, if I pick this model I can buy the drone, any spare parts, the receiver, goggles and the Tx inside the EU with no toll or VAT troubles at all. As long as noone is dropshipping at least... I hate when they do that... Edit: holy crap, you get some serious flight time out of that battery also 0.o The EU version of this one seems to come with a cloverleaf antenna for the FPV link instead of the monopole on that one, not sure what difference that would make.

[@DustinDunnill]

+Edgewalker001 this one looks cool but I felt was honestly over hyped. Bad tune out of the box and a plastic arm broke from cracking where a CF wouldn't have. I've got a CF frame in to swap this into when I have the time. But I dread tuning it to get it flying right .

[@Edgewalker001]

Awwwwww... Oh well. To be honest the main selling point for me would be the battery plug. Most micro FPV drones seem to be using the toy grade 1S "balance" solderless terminal plugs and I've already had some bad experiences with those... =p More specifically the plug on my FQ17W sticks into the female so close to the wall of the battery compartment that the only way I found to get it out was to use an old style nail clipper in place of tweezers, and that doesn't entirely feel safe... =p That toy drone is a blast to fly though, even if the "FPV" is laggy wifi garbage. In comparison to my first x4 it kind of feels like a flying brick, but in a good way. If that makes any sense... =p

[@DustinDunnill]

+Edgewalker001 👍 there's a bunch like this out now with JST connectors. I just got an overwhelming amount of similar minis in for review...it's going to be a fun next few months 😂✌

[@joshuacurtiss]

Great review! Thanks! Seems this one just isn't for me.. a bit subpar to some other options out there.. Thanks again!

[@inelonwetrust9169]

Joshua Curtiss Can you share other good options? Thanks

[@joshuacurtiss]

Sure! My top 3 contenders after researching for the past month are the Eachine Lizard 95, DYS ELF, and AR FUN 90. I was super-close to buying the DYS ELF, it's really nice, but then the Lizard 95 won my admiration and that'll probably be the one I buy. My only big complaint about the Lizard 95 is that it's currently sold out ;-p but that's a good sign if you think about it. ;-)

[@joshuacurtiss]

All 3 of these have an OSD and a buzzer/beeper, which are 2 features I really want, and all 3 have very decent punch too. If you research the Lizard, it doesn't have the downsides that some of these other ones do. Plus, can be configured with any 3 of the common RC receiver platforms! :-D

[@inelonwetrust9169]

Joshua Curtiss Thanks

[@DustinDunnill]

+Joshua Curtiss Thanks Josh and agreed. Definitely more hype on this one than deserved. I'll be giving the lizard the same Review treatment soon 😁

[@vwbeetle5578]

Dare you to dive bomb the neighbours solar panels hahaha

[@jandomingo9806]

does a vibrating fc make this hawk drift?

[@DustinDunnill]

It's seemed like it.

[@tommyg957]

A few times I though you were going to "land" that on your roof

[@DustinDunnill]

+Thomas Gehrdes Jr 😂 me too..lol

[@allenlee7002]

Dustin Dunnill Mambo if he had fly

[@drewdanielvaldez5478]

is there an rtf version of this

[@awsomeguy665]

just drew no not yet. I'm not sure if they'll make one...

[@jasond3938]

just drew Grayson hobby has a RTF with the Qx7

[@LachlanPeknice]

You always crash into that fence! haha, do you forget it is there? ;)

[@slebdad]

Time to put it on a carbon frame.

[@DustinDunnill]

+slebdad Ordered a 100mm today. We'll see how it goes 👍

[@jonashediger182]

Babayhawk or tinyhawk

[@prowlus]

Jonas Hediger tinyhawk race

[@drewdanielvaldez5478]

bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro if you build a brushless micro use emax tiny red bottoms it can carry a 4s battery

[@nevTk-oe9ud]

haha 22:18 Wow man

[@arman_44borneo35]

Fuul crash mr.Baby Hawk.. : )

[@callofdutyfatherhood1884]

Well you are kind of careless when you are flying and I can see that you are not really good at fpv I think you should not be flying if you're going to be that careless
