EMAX EZ Pilot Beginner FPV Drone Kit - Unboxing, Set Up, Flight Demo

[@51Drones]

Every FPV vid I watch brings me one step closer to taking the plunge. :)

[@bassdojo]

Yeah, I've been on the fence about which one. I have a DJI Mavic Pro but want to get into FPV. I don't think this drone is a good starter for me. Probably tiny hawk?

[@jonashediger182]

Bass Dojo or tiny hawk 2 😊

[@bassdojo]

@@jonashediger182 I bought the tiny hawk and my kids and I race for time around the house. Now we want more to compete. Even my wife plays with it every now and then. It is fun to hear her scream when she hits things. Christmas this year may get expensive if it keeps their interest. It's great on cold days when no one wants to go outside.

[@iAdventurez]

Cool video, I have been waiting on a complete kit like this. Thanks kelly

[@BigAlFPV17]

This would be the perfect gift to get for my wife. Excellent review Kelly!!

[@Reepicheep-1]

Got one for Christmas '22, first drone. Second antenna, no instructions in box. Looking forward to my new timesink.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Wow, Kelly, very cool little FPV starter set. EMAX sure put out a complete starter kit at an excellent price. It looks like a unique Christmas gift for the grandkids to start FPV flying. Thank you, Kelly, I wish you and your family a Very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday, take care!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks Steve! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well!

[@AddyOverbeeke]

Happy Holidays Kelly. Nice beginners set for FPV. I am considering after meeting and seeing Ed Ricker at SpinUp 2019. I have you to thank for expanding my interest in Droning outside of what I have been doing already. SpinUp 2019 was a great experience. You present well these mini-reviews of drones, skateboard, etc... I'm still learning the hobby but enjoying the journey.

[@Jacknoham]

How much does the drone itself weigh? I wanna get it but I don’t want to have to register one

[@readysetdrone]

You won’t have to register this one.

[@Jacknoham]

@@readysetdrone yeah, i found out it’s only 44/250 grams😂

[@melvinstewart3718]

Hey RSD, hope you're good! I came back to this video 4 years later just to see you set it up. Just pulled mines outta storage and forgot. What you do for the community should be on the Mt Rushmore for drone guys. Thanks Be Blessed

That looks like the one to get started with. Thanks Kelly.

how many 18650 batteries does it come with?

[@readysetdrone]

It's been a while, but I think it came with 2 total. One for the controller, and one for the goggles.

Great video Kelly! It would be perfect starter into FPV flying.

[@readysetdrone]

Agreed!

[@ArtCoDroneAndEntertianment]

@@readysetdrone Hey Kelly I just got one and will try it out soon.

[@SerJG]

Is there any way to show battery voltage? I drained one battery till it stops to lift the drone. I’m kinda worried about it.

Thinking of getting one!

[@Thesingledadsjourney]

Phenomenal video so helpful. I purchased one of these for me and my son and I was struggling to bind it so it was pretty much useless. Now we are really starting to have fun with it after watching the video. Can you possibly do a video on different types of goggle and their functionality?

[@DannoKrueger420]

does anyone know if the ez pilot will bind to a fr sky radio!?!?

Which better this one or eachine e013?

[@solarfry]

Great review with a lot of usefull information. Thanks...

[@barking.dog.productions1777]

I picked one of these up with a few spare drone batteries. Still learning how to fly it, but this video sure explains the basics very well... better than the paper instructions. I still don't consider the drone simple to fly... my DJI Phantom is dead simple. With the DJI and hands off the sticks it stops and waits for your next input. GPS is nice... this takes a bit more skill. :) Nice flying, BTW. :)

[@christopherdaughtry9887]

Can't get the head set to work? Its was working then it lost signal or something??

[@readysetdrone]

Does it power on? Could it be on a different frequency from the quad?

[@christopherdaughtry9887]

@@readysetdrone yes it has power, just get a bunch of static..

[@readysetdrone]

The only thing I can think to try is to go through all the channels, to see if you get an image from the drone. You can also contact Emax support. They are always very helpful.

[@ViezeVingertjes]

Just go acro mode though, get through the frustration and have so much more fun. Was wondering about the Emax goggles quality, but hard to say as it's dependent on the incoming feed. :x

Hi, if i randomy pressed trim buttons on air, can it break caliblation?

I don't know if it will "break" calibration, but it could certainly make it fly wonky!

[@димдимыч-р4с]

@@readysetdrone Thx, this was i mean)

[@markpartain9429]

Hey, Great video. I bought one after watching your video a few days ago. It arrived today so I charged it and tried it out today. It immediately drifted to the left and I couldn't get it to stop. Tried calibrating the remote but I can't follow the directions they wrote. Now the drone immediate flips and goes wildly out of control on takeoff. Can you show or tell how the remote, they call it gimball, calibration is done? I tried setting it on a level surface after plugging in the battery so I don't know if the drone or remote is out of whack. Thanks.

[@readysetdrone]

One thing - are you setting it down quickly after plugging it in? It looks for what "level" is to calibrate, so if you plug it in and then hold it in your hands for a while, it won't calibrate correctly. Try plugging the battery in and then setting it down within 5 seconds. Hopefully that will fix the issue. LMK how it goes.

[@markpartain9429]

@@readysetdrone I saw you mentioned that on the video so I tried several times to plug it in and set down on a level surface ASAP. The thing would fly but drift hard left on takeoff. I fly DJI quite a bit so I put started using Intermediate or middle mode so it would control pretty much the same. No luck. I tried following the procedure for "Gimbal calibration" which I think means remote calibration. After that, the drone just flipped over like a bug. The instructions are a bit vague though. Everyone should know that EMAX contacted me a couple days after I submitted a question and they have already sent me a return label. They said I tried everything they would recommend and are going to replace the drone no questions asked. Big thumbs up from me to them. Thank you very much for the response and the help. Keep making great videos!

[@readysetdrone]

@@markpartain9429 That's awesome about EMAX sending you a new drone! Generally with smaller toy drones, they need to be set on a level surface for calibration, but it sounds like you did that. The flipping over part sounds like maybe one of the motors was not spinning properly. I have had that happen when a motor is failing, Anyway, hopefully the replacement will do better!

[@markpartain9429]

@@readysetdrone Thanks. I'm sure it will be fine. I already have the bug to buy more 1S batteries and the TinyHawk RTF. Gotta pace myself. Thanks again.

[@BobAround]

If the next one does the same thing make sure the battery is centered and check it after every crash. The batteries move easily. I was having a similar issue and centered the battery and re-calibrated the gyro and it worked fine after that. If you re-calibrate the gyro make sure it is on a level surface.

[@stevensdroneworld392]

How do you compare the tinyhawk to the betafpv

[@DannoKrueger420]

and vice versa, can you fly the hawk s with the controller you get with the ez pilot?

[@brianheinemann6457]

Everytime i start it up it flies for 2 seconds then goes full throttle just flips over or gets stuck and is just sitting there upside down in full throttle until i turn the controller off

[@readysetdrone]

That's no good! Does the disarm switch not function at that point? If you connect Emax support, they should be helpful in figuring it out for you. I'm not sure what's going on with your quad.

[@magicianjoshiji]

Hello friend nice to meet you. Your work so beautiful

[@pierstaylor7780]

I’m really wanting the tiny hawk s, but I want to buy the ex pilot first, will the ex pilot take a 600mha 1s 3.7v battery? The same as the tiny hawk?

i teach a load of kids in my area who are introuble alot to fly and we had one of these donated and i must say they are prety good.

[@jempie2000]

Do you guys have spare batteries for the drone itself too? What about a multi charger?

[@readysetdrone]

You'll have to buy more batteries separately. This comes with one battery for the drone and a single-battery usb charger for the drone battery.

In short, analog, yes; digital, no.

[@rashad1saifullah]

Is there a way to get the FPV feed on a regular digital screen like a cell phone etc rather than wearing the goggles?

[@Kojiros7th]

I know this video came out 2 years ago but I recently pulled the trigger and bought the EZ pilot kit. As of April 16th, 2021, the Tinyhawk II has an EZ pilot-like kit but I went with the EZ Pilot because it was cheaper, the remote and googles seem to be exactly the same from what I'm seeing the EZ pilot kit comes w/ fewer antennas... so my question is If I were to buy a Tinyhawk II separately, Can I bind the Tinyhawk II with the EZ pilot kit?

[@Krizqz0]

i know this was a while ago but yes you can bind the tiny hawk II to that transmitter

[@IanBeaty]

I got one of these to teach friends and relatives to fly, but it ended up being kind of useless because it has a terrible drift back and to the left. I have adjusted the trims and tried calibrating it on a level surface, but I cannot get rid of the drift. I found other youtube comments mentioning this same problem. I can fly it in the intermediate or advanced modes because I am comfortable compensating for the drift, but it is really hard for inexperienced friends to constantly fight the drift. The beginner mode is totally worthless even for me because without the ability to roll to the right to compensate for the drift, the quad constantly flies back and to the left until it runs into something. Any ideas of how to take care of this problem?

[@adbrainfilm]

I love the tripod you're using for the gopro. What's the name of it?

[@bassdojo]

Think they'll have black friday deals on bangood? Waiting for a price point for combo set, Tiny Hawk, for around $120 for an indoor fpv drone with everything.

[@Moltren_]

Sir,please answer my question,can i use remote control emax ez to bind emax tinyhawk..? Sorry for my bad english,thnks..

[@readysetdrone]

I don’t think that will work.

[@solarfry]

When you mentioned the tiny hawk you indicated two batteries. 1s snd 2s . Is there a difference in flying time or can you gang 2 batts for longer flight time?

[@lionelyin394]

Ok answer to ur question no there is not that much of a difference in flight time. The 2s just makes the motors more powerful and the controls crispier the 1s is less powerful but both have similar flight time

[@mithrandir1313]

Can the Tx be converted to "Mode 1"? (Like RC Mode 1... throttle on right stick, for'n'aft on left stick) Thanks!

[@readysetdrone]

I will check, but I don't think so.

[@johnjoemaloney]

coo this helped us with our ez pilots. i bought a couple of these for my boys having trouble setting them up to fly at the same time. seem to be on same channel/frequency. can you direct me where to find the info

[@readysetdrone]

Yes - try one of these videos. Basically, you can access the OSD (on screen display) by doing a combination with the sticks. And from there you can change the frequency that the drone is broadcasting video on. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGTJgmRpgNlmqLc and kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6LYh6ebftuLpKM Hope that helps!

It sounds like the TinyHawk S would be a good upgrade from the EZ Pilot drone. If a person gets a TinyHawk S can it be bound to the EZ Pilot controller given most beginners don't have other controllers and on a budget? I understand the controller can only have one drone bound to it at a time - but the question is; can the TinyHawk be bound to the EZ Pilot controller? Otherwise, do you recommend an affordable controller?

[@readysetdrone]

I'm pretty sure you can bind the TH-S to the EZ Pilot controller. Personally, I like the FR-SKY X-Lite controller for tiny whoops.

Save your money, I got to use mine for about half an hour and after crashing on about every flight, probably less than a dozen, one of the struts holding the motor to the frame broke. It's not really made for beginners, relatively fragile. Now it won't even lift off , motors seem to be only lifting on one side. Emax doesn't even have a replacement frame to buy. I've had this product less than 1.5 weeks.
