Emax NanoHawk // Official Release // New Hawk On The Block

[@flyingstonerfpv8736]

Adjustable camera angle is important to me

[@Eff917]

Actually according to the official emax video, the glued down part is for adjusting camera angle :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHO6pGavfNCDoJY

[@NickBurnsFPV]

My big question: What do you think of the new frame design? And is adjustable camera angle as important to you as it is me?

[@rgilroy1909]

nice work. yes adjustable camera angle is important to me because I simply fly SLOW. now where's the video of those crashes? hmm?

[@SOLARFPV]

The new frame design innovations looks really good. Don't know if I like the camera cannopy, but Emax normally make a V2 to fix all the issues you find 😂. Nice review as allways 👌 Thank you.

[@trajanfpv]

Looks interesting, could be a good winter indoor whoop. How do you like it compared to the UZ65? Can you cut the guards off and make it an outdoor small park flyer, would it see much benefit?

[@legendarypot8oanimates160]

It depends on what craft I'm flying, if I was flying a larger quad, then probably but on something like a whoop I think if you built it you should be able to judge what works for you, but it would be handy if the quad came with one more canopy with a different camera angle to cater to other people's needs. But personally for these I like exploring and mild acro, not speed.

[@cry0fox]

not a fan of the new look, the tiny hawk looks more like a finished product than this one I find.

have you tried Redpine instead of d8?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I have not. I hear good things about redpine, very fast.

[@Shauny_D]

yes fast and i seem to get better range and less dropouts with the radiomaster tx16s. I notice the latency if i go back to d8 bottoming our more but didn’t notice a difference switching to redpine from d8

So the question is is the FC standard mounting? Looks like it. Might be a new board to use on other whoops.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Gotcha on FB

[@keithmccormick1272]

I had problems with the GNB27 connectors when they first came out . They were loose and if you wiggled them the connection would come and go . I just bought a Nano Hawk and I dont have that problem on this drone , the battery connector is very tight and you can safely wiggle it and not loose connection . Just sayin :P

[@bingbing496]

Lmfao!!! Did it work?

[@off-grideverything533]

Of course it probably has the sbus, so you can add an xm plus or similar receiver, but do you think it would be worth it to desolder the VTX, and mount the one from the tinyhawk ii higher up behind the camera? That way it's further away from the esc's, hopefully minimizing interference. Plus you then have the ability to turn the VTX up to 100 or even 200 mW, for a stronger signal. Or would you just jump right up to using something like the tiny tank?

[@paulterl4563]

Hey! What is your 65 fave whoop right now? Thank you very much

This 19k kv motors can give lower throttle percentage than mobula6 19k kv motor.. This means emax motor have more power or because of the gnb connector?

could be either. The only way to tell would be to either put mobula6 motors on the nanohawk or put a ph2.0 on the nanohawk.

Proprietary motors again ugh! At least we can use different props but if you like a different kv motor you're stuck. Was hoping to try this frame but gann take a pass on this, I've learned my lesson from the tiny hawk. Great review as always Nick!

[@makaveligreen5458]

Nick I am getting three minutes and 45 seconds every flight and I fly hard even outside.. is it because of the capacitor I put on there or is it because of me shaving the prop gauds off? Or is it the bi blades?🤷🏾‍♂️

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The capacitor won't have an impact on the flight time, but the removal of the prop guards will for sure.

[@cpfpv6410]

I like it. But I'm not sure its for me. Curious what it would do with a tri blade prop. But again, I think I need more durability

[@NickBurnsFPV]

we could go gemfan props for more durability, but they have sharp tips, I think we might end up dinging things up with the flexible prop protection.

[@cpfpv6410]

@@NickBurnsFPV I probably should have said that I think i need more prop protection. And my answer to the camera angle question is that I do prefer adjustable camera angle for outdoors. For indoors, it only matters if the camera angle is not where I want it. lol.

Hi Nick, Are the motor mounts standard? Could I use the carbon and create a nano toothpick with some nano biblades? Thanks!

Good evening. How much flight time? Thanks.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Full flights are in the video. The end screens of the flights has the "arm time" which I would consider the flight time.

[@WerdnaFPV]

Nick, what do you think specifically about the GNB27? Is it better than the BT2.0?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't think its much better in terms of performance. I do think its better as it is much easier to convert batteries to it, and will likely be available on all sorts of batteries soon, maybe even 2s if the market wants it. BT2.0 typically only comes on betafpv batteries, which are poor performing batteries, one exception is the mylipo/tinywhoop bt2.0 batteries, those perform well. But the cost comparison is rough. Short version, connector is fine, the batteries they come with either cost more than others like it or perform poorly.

[@WerdnaFPV]

@@NickBurnsFPV Thank you so much for your reply! Good that you have given these the A-OK. I saw some people the other day complaining that their GNB27 connectors wouldn't connect snugly, hope that was just a batch issue and not a design flaw.

[@makaveligreen5458]

What’s up Nick🤟🏾Teddy Brooski here 😄you are the reason I ordered one of these and an extra canopy because I am going to do something different where the prop guards connect to the canopy I’m going to cut them off with a razor blade nice and smooth so it can just be carbon frame and canopy for outside and my extra canopy is for inside🙃🛸💨🔥

[@imothy]

so is it possible to remove the prop guards and fly it like a toothpick?

You'd have to cut 'em off as they're one piece with the canopy.

[@slowentropy4531]

Mmm looks okay, I do like adjustable camera angle though and I used to run my TH2 at around 40° or so. Think the mob6 is a better choice for me just because it doesn't have proprietary parts and has motor plugs so its just easy.

That should unlock it.

[@gmascagni]

Another great review. For me the big question does it replace the Whoop King from last year? In your opinion is it better than the M6. My weight reduced M6 on PMB is really good and cheap. I do like the new frame idea..though.... We need the protection for indoor flying but we don't want the negative flying characteristics we get with yaw washout. Looks like they tried to address both issues. Would you say the frame is as durable as the M6 or Meteor frames. Also with with BF 4.2.x there is some sort of battery sag compensation feature. JB talked about it. Wonder if it would help. IMO it looks like a decent whoop.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The prop protection is more flexible than other whoop frames, and will likely be more durable, issue is we will likely go through more props. Also the prop protection is not nearly as "safe" as the traditional style. I expect if we run into skin it could leave a mark or curt.

Omg you changed a lot in three years haha inspiring!!!! I just got the nanohawk and i was wondering if its only 25mw for the vtx or did i mess it up somehow?

[@michaelraiman573]

It’s only 25mw

[@ericcoker8784]

Love the review. The Nanohawk was purchased using your review and that dude Nurk's review. I knew all of the shortcomings (props and 25mw vtx) but I was intrigued. Being new (first FPV was the GEPRC 4k bundle) and subsequent Happy Model Mob's and Moblite's paired with Zorro and Skyzone 02's, I figured something from 2020 wouldn't be bad. What I love about it: looks different, fly's great in angle mode (no ACRO yet and my brain can't comprehend horizon mode) and I changed nothing on the tune. There was expo on throttle! And for these guys I usually add expo. I would like to scale back the throttle (all of my Happy Models and the single GepRC are scaled to 80%) but it doesn't show up in BF. Side note: all of my Horizon Hobby Helicopters with Spektrum control have no EXPO added or needed really. But all my Futaba controlled helicopters, be it Eachine E180 or XK K130, need 20%-25% expo. Just a preference.) The Moblite7 ( I have 2 ) is still the best, but it is not a 65 mm. Not apples to apples. Mobula6 is good and Moblite6 is better. Maybe because I am more secure with the prop protection for little bumps, I take more chances. First crash in the Nano results: lost prop, but found and not bent, otherwise all good. Do you recommend any other props? Thanks again!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The props are actually pretty good but do tend to fly off, mainly due to the flexible prop protection. We can run some dental floss through them to tighten them up a bit. There really isn’t much of a payoff in changing props unless we are a top of the line flyer competing in races. We can try them for fun. Maybe less blades if we want to get a bit more flight time

[@ericcoker8784]

@@NickBurnsFPV yes, the floss trick was employed this morning. I did bend a prop, but instead of trashing, I slowly (kinda) bent it in place. I got lucky.

[@ericcoker8784]

Another super trick: if the video feed tonyour goggles seem notchy, check the motor mount screws. All of mine were NOT snug and the frame mount to the canopy was a touch loose. Used a smaller Philip Head screwdriver to snug them up. Worked perfect again. This falls under maintenance, but my Mobula6 or Moblite fleet don't seem prone to this.

Great review! Looking at getting my first quadcopter and have been looking at whoops. This is a lot of help! Any beginner-friendly recommendations?

Rebound them with a new model, after soldering it to the sbus on the nanohawk. (First bind only had power to the rx, not connected to a flight controller) both binding procedures went as expected, and produced the green activity light after power cycling and flashing the rx went as expected as well. Don't think we had talked about that one, but I have had a fair amount of questions. So it's easy to lose track, and I'm sure you have many people coming to you with questions all the time. We appreciate your knowledge and experience! Was attempting to bind to the spi receiver in d8, with the emax stock (e6) radio, which is d8 by default. Did do the rtf nanohawk cli dump as well, so it would have the emax radio settings already in betaflight (changed all appropriate settings after soldering the xm plus on, to bind with the x9 lite). Which is what all forums/videos said to do, for binding the nanohawk, to that particular radio. Got the xm plus, specifically so I could use a better radio, with the tinyhawk freestyle ii, and kept the e6 for use with d8 radios, and for friends to use. So that we can both fly at the same time. Thanks for taking the time, to help figure this out!

@@NickBurnsFPV also saw in some forums, that a couple of years ago, there seemed to be a bad batch of xm plus receivers. A few people seemed to be having similar issues with the range and rssi.

I like the frame design, I do think it'll put the props at risk however. Someone will 3d print an adjustable camera mount in time. Perhaps stronger 3 blades will be more durable. I always find quad blades to get damaged more easily. Much of that is because there is almost always a prop directly behind the prop guard. Same issue on tinyhawk. 3 blades can't turtle but the 4 blades break way too easily. I am looking for a 1s but leaning towards the mobula 6 in 75mm or the Uz65. I'll see what else is released.

Thanks Nick, another excellent review. Although in my experience Emax VTX has been a very good performer at 25mw I'm now leaning toward at least 100mw in the small whoops. Probably not for everyone but I love to sit at the dining room table and fly inside a bit and then zoom out the open door and all around the house and a short distance away so to me it's very well worth a couple extra bucks for a stronger VTX and with that I always order with or install Crossfire and end the worries. Best of both flying experiences in one sitting and a helluva hoot. Hoping at some point there will soon be these choices with some of the great newer whoops coming out. Since I virtually never fly only indoors (certainly couldn't keep up with you anyway) 25mw is becoming a deal breaker for me even if I really like the quad.

Great review as usual Nick! Camera angle, camera angle.....we need adjustable camera angle! Quick question, is Jumper sending you their new T-Lite? I'm really curious about that radio, the images look nice, but the question is it actually nice? I almost feel like pre-ordering one since its so inexpensive and i'm looking to replace my v1 X-lite. DefiantRC is selling the multi protocol one for $69.99 on pre-order.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I am interested in what is the most common desire, adjustable or not. So far I hear more about no camera angle than having adjustable camera angle.

[@patrickjclarke]

why oh why don't they ever fix their VTX white flashing....I bought another TH S to play with my new EMU Angle feature coming soon, and it's a great little quad other than that effing annoying white flashing.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Do you know what in a vtx causes that? Power regulator? Low quality?

[@brighFive]

New EMU Angle feature... Do tell!

[@DougEfresh.]

I just don't like the new battery cable. I kinda like the BT 2.0 but these companies are changing things to be proprietary and that's what I don't like. The frame seems a little flimsy too and I don't see a whole bunch of protection going on. I'm bummed because I had high hopes for this one. Thanks for the review and the indoor flight, I absolutely love them. Also thanks for explaining your battery voltage when landing. Makes perfect sense and that's what I love about you. Hope you and your family are doing well, Happy holidays.

I bought some GNB batteries with the new GNB27 connector , plugged in a battery and had no power . Found that if I wiggled the connector I would have and lose the power connection . Thumbs down from me on the connector .

sounds like a manufacturing defect. I have not experienced that myself. I know Nurk did in his review.

[@RubyS.1]

Mob 6 for sure just my 2 cents.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

For me and my flight style the mob6, I have swapped the canopy to the AE65 canopy. For 2s and 65mm the eachine US65 pro is one to look at.

[@MrJoris666]

@@NickBurnsFPV Did you already try the Newbeedrone Hummingbird F4 pro? Personally I like it even better than the Monula6. I think Emax is just too late on the (65mm) show

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@MrJoris666 I have. I ended up breaking the camera shortly after review :(

[@kydawg1684]

This one does not seem to tick the standard Emax release boxes. Don't think this one will be in my whoop fleet. however I do like the new frame design idea, very nice. The 25mW VTX sends me elsewhere. Great review as always Nick.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yea, I thought the 25mw was a bit odd too, they have a 200mw in the same form factor, not sure why they didn't use it.

[@DooSum_FPV]

I like the different style frame. I also like the cf/plastic combo. I don't like the fixed camera angle. Looks like a fun little "whoop" never the less. As usual, stellar review sir.

[@SnowbirdSteeze]

Hey Nick, it’s Babak! Hope you had a great thanksgiving! Would you take this over the Meteor 65?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Hey Babak, good to hear from you!. I trust your thanksgiving was a safe and fulfilling time? I would only select it for outside flight. While the flight feel is more quad native, the flexible prop protection means we will go through a lot of props and could cause more damage than traditional whoop frame. I am thinking of if we run into someone, they are going to feel the prop and maybe have a cut. So outside its cool, probably loads of fun at a small park with tube slides and climbing things.

[@lockingpaul]

How do u guys get these soo fast!! I’m collecting eMax gear right now I’m trying to collect em all lol they are friggin fun and awesome to learn on! I’m just starting my babyhawk mods. Pretty cool! Thanks for showing have a good night. Ps sick flight

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Do you mean fly fast? or get them on the same day they launch? Emax sends them out to reviewers then places an embargo until launch date. As to flying fast, cliche practice practice, its great that practice is so much fun :)

[@lockingpaul]

It was the later. That’s pretty cool. Want one. All them actually lol

[@monstermechanic8670]

Nick, was the outside flight after the addition of the glue? Just wondering about the jello. Thanks!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, none of my first few days flights were used in the video. I had to wait out weather to get decent weather to fly in.

[@monstermechanic8670]

@@NickBurnsFPV just curious what the motor shaft size is, and if you were able to try different props? Thanks Nick. Great job as usual.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@monstermechanic8670 1mm shafts. I didn't try other props, the props and tune are tied together. To give another prop an honest try I would need to retune.

[@VincentFischer]

Not as blown away as I was from the TH freestyle, especially the flight time is meh. Looks nice though. Camera angle is definitely important if you plan to fly outside, for inside flying I usually don't use much. The problem I have with frames that allow adjustable angle is, it often also means camera jello. I guess there is no perfect formula (yet).

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I have swapped most of my mobula 6 to the AE65 canopy. Holds the camera steady with a .5gram weight penalty.

[@VincentFischer]

​@@NickBurnsFPV 0.5 doesn't sound much considering how much glue I use trying to fix the issue :). Just ordered one for testing, thanks for letting me know.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@VincentFischer sure. I do shave off some of the "excess" of the canopy. Much like I did in the shark byte video.

[@davemac7945]

I love the way this fly's Nick but the camera view is poor compared to the Mobula 6.

the view? I don't think I understand as its the same camera, the lenses could be different depending which we are comparing.

[@RADERFPV]

Great review Nick! I have a non-FPV question for you. Does your treadmill actually get any use? I'm asking because my fiance has been bugging me for one for 6 months now, so I have a NordicTrack showing up next week for her. I'm thinking it may turn out to be the dumbest purchase I've ever made, but hoping I'm wrong. Seems like something that will sit and collect dust. Thanks, hope you're doing great!

[@eedok]

I'm not Nick, but my wife runs marathons and we live somewhere it gets ridiculously cold, and it sees use in colder months. I also use it when I'm short on steps for the day, will watch streaming stuff while walking on it. However it does have an added benefit as it's one of the more fun things to fly around with a whoop, second to a power cage for workout equipment that's fun to fly around

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It does get used. I walk on it and my 15yr old runs on it. I can't really run anymore. My wife prefers to run outside, but when she is really sore or doesn't want to brave the weather she uses it.

[@RADERFPV]

Great review and flying Nick! I am not picking one up as I have too many "Hawk" quads already. I am also pretty much all DJI now with 4 quads in that ecosystem. I do love the innovation with the frame and the 1S AIO board. I do try to support Emax when I can as I do appreciate their innovation and quality.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Gotcha. Has Emax put out a quad with dji? They might be one of the few companies not to have done that yet.

[@RCDevotee]

@@NickBurnsFPV I don't think so. I have a 5" deadcat 6S that I chase remote control planes with, KababFPV Cinesplore 3", Geprc Rocket Lite 2.5" and the Flywoo Explorer LR 4". If Emax made something I would consider adding it to the fleet. I have given away many of my analog quads but still have some analog stuff like the Tiny Hawk II as the whoop and toothpick classes are always fun to have around.

[@technoxtreme178]

Props go on nice and tight ...then, motors heat up and they come off too easily ... this is the bain of every whoop; someone needs to design props that stay on (without the weight of bolt-on) ...maybe one nylon screw or something?

I realized it too quickly to be a whoop ... You are an experienced pilot, but for a beginner, Emax should supply several more sets of propellers !!!

We don't generally get more than 1 spare set with really any rtf. I don't disagree, more would be better.
