Mom said thumbs up for thumbing

[@slowentropy4531]

A good message behind this video mate, just have fun!! After all that's pretty much the unanimous reason we all started to fly. I'll probs never know why I started pinching either, I've always flown like that from the get go and had no influence to go that way.... it was just my thumbs are ruined from years of manual labour and sports so it felt better I guess. Entertaining stuff Nick, you gave me a good laugh after a tough day at work!!

this drone is 100% perfect for starters, I got the bind and fly version and I picked up the betafpv lite controller 2, its the perfect controller for this quad, only $40, then I got some box goggles with dvr on ebay for about $50 . Works perfect!

[@T3TheFuture]

Out of allll the videos I’ve watched and spent countless hours searching for why my radio controller that came with my TinyHawk 2 Freestyle wouldn’t turn on after charging via USB I think I finally found the video/Channel that tells me there’s a 18650 battery in the radio controller.Finally!!!Thank you Nick Burns .

Best review I've watched yet

[@brianevans4]

If your having fun, that's all that matters. Great point! I usually fly thumbs so it feels normal to me. Never really got into pinching

[@itsmegideon6641]

If i use the "Gaming Style" radio i use thumbing. but with my normal taranis radio i do a hybrid of pinch and thumb

[@palethiusfpv]

I started with the tinyhawk 1 RTF. I quickly outgrew the radio and a stick broke when I dropped it. Fixed it with some hardware I had laying around and some epoxy. I keep the goggles around as a spare ride-along goggle. They are great for that. Not horrible to fly with either. Especially is your just starting out. I have had a few TH Freestyle 1’s. Also great quads, but I’ve broken them and many frames. I chock that up to just plain bad luck. Overall, I feel the Emax RTF’s are a great setup for beginners and a huge value. I approve! 👍

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you for leaving your experiences for others to note.

[@jmanEOS17]

I got the RTF Tinyhawk 2 that came with the same controller and goggles so I can fly indoors and outdoors on a calm day. They are good for getting started with FPV, I'm coming from flying an Inspire 1 and a Mavic 2 pro for commercial work. I thumb fly those quads. I tried thumbing with the Tinyhawk 2 and couldn't do it. Now I pinch fly when I FPV and love it! I'm already looking to upgrade to the Freestyle II. This will be my next quad along with upgrading goggles (with a DVR) & controller. These goggles would make a great "ride along" set to share with family and friends. This hobby is addicting!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Hallo. Is the tiny Hawk freestyle 2 for beginners? I am actually flying DJi Mini 2. Greatings from Germany.

[@StillIt]

Awesome 👍 I just got I to the hobby with the TH2 version of this kit. I could fly it but had some trouble with the transmitter. The throttle was sketchy. Emax are sending a replacement.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

good to know emax is helping.

[@sixtofive]

My son got one of those goggles with the emax interceptor fpv car kit last year. They have held up well, and I've been impressed with them for what they are. They are certainly beginner level goggles, but are very useable and have been durable so far.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

They are first goggles, and way better than what I started with. Quantum foam box goggles, seemed great at the time, but boy they don't age well.

[@nibuam]

Well I started months ago with the tinyhawk 2 rtf kit with the same radio, and it's totally ok for cruising in angle mode with thumbs. But when I started acro mode with this radio I felt like I was a terrible pilot ... thumbing acro wasn't for me. Then I decided to buy another radio (betafpv literadio 2) and my skill level changed entierly when i start pinching ! I was able to not only cruise in acro mode inside and outside, but also do some "speed runs" in my yard, and do some tricks ( flip and rolls) on the 2nd fly with this radio... personally I do not recommend this rtf kit radio for beginners, just buy the betafpv literadio 2 instead. On the other hand the mask is not bad and does the job well, aside the lack of DVR. Thanks for this review , too bad it was not released few months earlier, that would have reassured and convinced me to change radio earlier.

[@josephbove7477]

I started with the original Tinyhawk kit. The goggles and transmitter is fantastic. Since then I've purchased the entire line of Tinyhawks. The Tinyhawk II is great indoors and out. The Freestyle is unbelievable! Thanks Nick!

I'm going to be buying this soon it's going to be my new hobby I recently am un able to walk and been very depressed to where I can't eat but watching videos like this makes me want to buy one it is like being a bird and being free being able to move again and see amazing views. It's definitely something that will help me feel good again. I wasn't going to buy one because I saw people and they had $1000 put into drones and it looked so complicated but these emax ones that are rtf are perfect

Just got mine! 3 mins of flight time, picked up drone and frame was loose. Found screws missing and most of the others were loose. When i tried to tighten, most of them were stripped. When i replaced the missing screws i found those to be stripped as well...metal screws into plastic nuts...smh. Buyer beware, check all screws before flight.

Fantastic flying, Nick! You trying to thumb flies like I do! 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@VinoUdaBestOne]

Ok, so I'm new to flying period as I'm only a few months in. First drone was a zino pro camera drone. Recently got into fpv and this was the first one recommended to me. I use the kit as is and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about freestyle. I am a bit impatient and I'm really pushing myself to get better so I fly a couple times a week. I'm in L.A, CA so I'm limited on places to fly and haven't found anyone to learn from yet so I'm going thru all the bumps and bruises myself. Lol.... but I'm making progress and I recently ordered the radiomaster tx16s in hopes to switch over and get better. I hear you talk about rates and pid stuff but I'm unfamiliar with that right now. But I do want to learn so I'm watching KZbin videos all day as well. Lol

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, this hobby has a steep learning curve. It can be frustrating and a barrier for some. Rates are how far the quad moves in a direction in proportion to the amount we move on the sticks/radio. PID is a huge topic. The high level is it is the numbers used to "tune" the quad, these affect how stable or well a quad flies.

[@Infinite_Ouroboros]

I first started with a tiny whoop, learned how to controll and fly the quad then moved on to the tinyhawk freestyle 2. Soon ill be flying in HD with the IFlight H3 HD. Went with high end gear from the start because I know ill be sticking with the hobby. DJI goggles with analog mod for TBS fusion, TX16S radio with crossfire micro. I think this kit is great for gifting people that you want to introduce to the hobby but I would recommend those who are really wanting and have been researching into this hobby to save up for better gear that can be used for future quads. The TH freestyle 2 itself is a great quad, comes with all the accessories you would need, extra props, usb charger and a set of lipos, the stock tune is good and will fly properly straight out the box. If you are really worried about the exposed props, you can buy 2.5 inch prop guards for it too.

[@sstfpv8651]

Good vid, thanks, Nick! I'm tempted to get just the quad because I already have a radio and goggles. But what about batteries and charging? It comes with two batteries but we all know that is hardly sufficient. Also, the charging solution is no solution at all, more of a charging problem. Some talk about efficient ways (like, in less than an hour) to charge twenty packs would be very helpful.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yea, no need for a kit when you have goggles and the radio. If you have a "standard" lipo charger I would look at the series charging board on RaceDayQuads here www.racedayquads.com/collections/battery-chargers-accessories/products/the-flying-sandal-1s-parallel-charging-board?aff=15

[@dadog92]

Nick Burns I'll be cool if you can show how you do your tune and rates for betaflight since I can't find nowhere online a guide for micros.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I should do that. In the meantime check out UAVTech he does a lot of betaflight videos.

[@slowentropy4531]

[@chaoticadventure]

Excellent review I just bought this kit!

[@SquinkyEXE]

First timer here. Just bought this kit. It was a blast until I crashed it and broke the battery connector... So as a total noob I'm wondering if I purchase a replacement freestyle II what will I have to do to make it work with the controller and goggles from my kit?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The short way to a fix is the replace the battery pig tail. Otherwise we have to to bind and possibly set the modes up.

[@protoolsfanatic7276]

I bought the tinhawk freestyle thinking I could use the tx that came with the tinyhawk 2 but didn't know I had to be a software engineer to figure out how to set it up in beta flight. Why doesn't emax have there own app for products. I don't know what 90% of the wording is in betaflight. Tx did bind to freestyle and sticks are mapped right but can't move the arm switch,airmode,acro, because the transmitter doesn't have a on board screen.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

we need to use betaflight to set the arming and other modes to the switches we desire. plug in the quad to usb and power with batteries. In betaflight check bound status on the receiver page and set modes based on aux from receiver page. While this isn't a detailed walk through there are many vidoes on youtube for betaflight/radio setup. One of the barriers in fpv is the learning curve, it can be very frustrating.

[@off-grideverything533]

Got the rtf kit, as my first fpv/acro quad. The radio is OK, and I'm keeping it to use with future d8 quads until I get an mp module, but got a taranis x9 lite, as i didn't know other good cheap options and knew the betafpv radio didn't have ratcheting on the throttle which I would like to have. Goggles I found cut off the screen, even at the shortest focal length, and didn't offer the best reception. Have fatshark attitude v6's, and have taken one antenna from each ( the emax linear pole and the fatsharks linear?/ rhcp patch) so they are on even ground antenna wise, for a side by side vrx comparison. Can put up a link to that once I'm done that video, if you would like, or haven't done something similar. Then will compare those results to fatsharks with the menace pico patch and periscope antennas

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I am not sure I am following. Your planning to do a googgle and antenna video reception test?

[@off-grideverything533]

@@NickBurnsFPV yeah sorry I could've explained a little more, but was already long winded for a yt comment haha. I'm waiting on a replacement AIO FC for my tinyhawk and will be doing the tests once that's in. I will be comparing the fatsharks to the emax stock goggles, doing separate runs for the different antenna configurations. (Patch + pole, patch + patch, and pole + pole) ending with the menace antennas to compare the diversity receivers in the goggles as well as the stock antennas for both and aftermarket. Just going to use my dslr or phone to record the emax view, like you did. Also found the exposure on the emax goggles is way out. After using the fatsharks, found that I could still see in areas that were black in the emax goggles due to light changes

[@off-grideverything533]

And the linear? Rhcp patch part was a little confusion on my part. They are rhcp patch antennas, but in the manual they have them labeled as 2xlinear patch antenna Rhcp patch antenna So I think they're labeling them as linear but just banking on the fact that polarized will still pick up linear, just be half of the signal range

[@off-grideverything533]

Also not necessarily testing for range, but I have a property that has many different features like a forested pond area, a rocky hill down to a bay, some limestone outcrops, and an emptier area with a large steel shop, and a fair amount of cars. So seeing how the different configurations cope with different situations. I.e. showing beginners like myself how patches will give you superior range if you stay in front of yourself, and how a directional plus an omnidirectional can give you a cleaner signal all around (I think, still a beginner at this) But mostly comparing the internal receivers of the goggles, and how they deal with the different antenna configurations. I know comparing patches to poles isn't exactly a useful comparison. Haha

[@off-grideverything533]

The whole video is basically my journey into fpv, my first quad, upgrades and how much those upgrades apply to the flying experience, but I thought the odd goggle testing with antenna swaps may be of interest, although I'm guessing you have more than enough equipment to try it out yourself, if you really wanted haha. Sorry to keep bombarding your notifications with this one. Keep up the great work!!!

[@DroneOn]

I've been pinching or I guess hybrid for about 3 weeks in the SIM. I seethe advantages in fine control .

[@JonR35]

Can you show your rates for tiny whoops

[@checkeredflagfilms]

I have this analogue setup and the main problem is the goggles don't have enough adjustment for my out of focus eyesight. tried many different options and couldn't find anything that worked for me. Analogue is bad enough visually but if the image is breaking up AND out of focus it sucks big time. Pity I couldn't really enjoy the freestyle as much as I would have liked.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

eye focus can be a challenge. I have found for most it seems we have to spend much more money for goggles with diopters and higher quality screens.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

@@NickBurnsFPV agreed. I finally had to step up to the DJI digital where they have diopters and in general the image quality is great.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@checkeredflagfilms How are you enjoying digital fpv?

[@checkeredflagfilms]

@@NickBurnsFPV I've been flying DJI products for several years and got used to the excellent image quality. When I got into FPV I started with analogue and with my eyesight being poor, I struggled to learn because of it. When DJI came out with their version, I jumped to it just because I could see what I was doing. I admire you early adopters, you preserved and developed the hobby big time. DJI has the deep pockets and keeps updating their platform. There are some draw backs...everything they do is proprietary and that can be a pain in the ass at times. I enjoy your channel, keep up the good work and if you're into Historic Race cars, check out mine.

[@Temporal_Flux]

I'm the opposite, I started out as a pincher on my Devo7E. I stayed a pincher for a while after I got my taranis X9D+. But then, I kinda fell into thumbs. Not sure exactly when it happened, I don't remember even noticing the transition. Thumbing just feels more natural to me now (especially with my X-Lite). I can still fly pinching pretty well if I try but, it feels all wrong. I've always had pretty good dexterity in my thumbs though. Oh, and I have always used a lanyard. I don't rely on it, I just like it for security, as I'm almost always standing. I may be accused of being over-cautious but, I don't like the idea of dropping my transmitter when I go to catch or launch a model 😉.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

you must have good dexertity to do both. I guess my thumbs are more for force than fine motor skills. Nothing worse than killing a radio or goggles.

[@Temporal_Flux]

@@NickBurnsFPV Indeed. That's why I have backup radios (in case it is something a lanyard can't save) and goggles, as I'm sure that you do. And, as for thumbing Vs. pinching, as you say in your video... do what feels right for you. That is why I (only slightly) take issue with what EMAX say in the Freestyle 2 manual... about one of their profiles being for thumbers and the other for pinchers. I really don't think one (thumbing or pinching) is inherently better than the other, it depends on the pilot.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@Temporal_Flux yes, I keep at least one backup radio and goggles, I suspect I would be a bear to live with if I didn't get to fly for very long. Having profiles "for thumbers" is strange thought.

I get why you're scared to come close to the pool now. I never thought I would crash into a pool. It's so small compared to the whole flying area, but it happened to me 2 days ago. ;( Now I don't have a whoop just before IGOW. I'm really considering to buying the freestyle now.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

oh no, quads are fun in the summer, but not pool buddies. :(

[@valden]

I think these kits are nice for those people who just want to buy something and not have to think too much about it. But if you take a bit more time and research and buy individual stuff, you'll usually find a better experience. For me I started with the eachine 800d and brushed whoops. As soon as I got used to flying and exposure to what's out there, that stuff suddenly became old and I wanted more... So looking back I think I would have been better off buying better stuff at the start, but others experiences may be different. It's all fun though, and you can always sell/give away your old stuff to get another person into the hobby.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

True, FPV is the eternal upgrade hobby. We love what we currently have/love and looking for the next thing to love more.

[@dennisdennis4514]

So what would you recommend instead of starting out with the equipment in this video? I want more range

[@DougEfresh.]

I don't see what's so bad about that. I've been flying for 2 years and I can't fly acro at all. Of course I don't try often enough because I get frustrated. Flew only gps and altitude hold my first year I've been into micro fpv for probably 8 months and have probably 50 micros but still can't fly acro.

[@rickinjax2330]

If you want to learn acro, then I recommend starting with a simulator. You’ll still crash a lot at first, but you won’t break anything and you won’t need to stop and get your quad after each crash.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Sims are good practice, fast resets and much easier on the wallet. But no matter fly and have fun.

I've only flown a DJI mavic air, if you were to suggest an FPV drone would it be this one or something else?

while flying a mavic vs one of these is a big leap, I would be more likely to point you towards the betafpv advanced starter kit, despite its name it is a very good first quad and with the prop protection much safer.

Only the resolution is larger. I want to fix the native display for the audience of my flight)) (Already buy Eachine ev800d )Apparently the new display doesn't fit. Connected it to the ev800d - everything works.

Good review..I have the same RTF kit but with the TH2. Does anyone know if changing the antenna on these goggles will make the reception/range any better. Has anyone tried that?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

typically when we swap goggle antenna to a circular polarized set the reception does increase. Depending on the environment it could be a marginal increase or a big increase in clarity and range.

[@timothyb6017]

@@NickBurnsFPV thanks.. happy flying!

[@mikepistolesi7222]

What do you think is the best starter kit?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I suggest to avoid this kit as emax has a new radio that is much much better for starting out. I suggest looking at the tinyhawk III ready to fly kit. The radio and goggles are grey/black. It is more expensive but its the newest release from emax in the RTF category.

This drone vs eachine novice 3 for beginner

[@markchristopher6889]

Would you recommend this or the betafpv advanced kit thanks

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I would have to go betafpv, more universal flying...inside or out and much better radio.

[@michaelhaddock3730]

Thank you for the video

[@protoolsfanatic7276]

Will the jumper t-12 work with tinyhawk freestyle?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, many of the non affiliated radios have multi protocol radios in them and work with many receiver protocols and types.

[@ChrisParayno]

Can you change our the thumbsticks?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

If I recall correctly they don't screw on, they fiction fit. I don't believe there are replacements on the market, we would have to make our own.

[@MrGuyOnTheFly]

Does anyone know if these goggles will fit over glasses ? That’s pretty much the only thing preventing me from purchasing this kit , I’m worried I’m gonna spend all this money then not even be able to fly it because of my glasses

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It likely won't unless the glasses are very small. The alternative is to buy a magnifying headset and mount the magnifying lens inside the goggles using foam or glue or anything that really works.

[@MrGuyOnTheFly]

@@NickBurnsFPV luckily my eye sight allows me to see up close just not super far away so unlike vr goggles , these seem to be working fine with me eyes which means i shouldnt have any issues flying without my glasses ! thank god

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@MrGuyOnTheFlyNice. I am nearly the same way, but I need the display to be super close or large.

[@mimic9149]

Does it fly that fast out of the box

[@NickBurnsFPV]

fast? Hard to judge that would depend on what we are comparing it to. Its not as though we can't fly it as fast as we can, nothing holding it back.

[@frankbarajas]

Nice kit! Can this Emax radio bind to other quads? Also, is it FrSky compatible? Good review.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I believe it can't but I have not done it. Other quads that are frsky d8 that is. Looks like its a combo of throttle trim down and pitch trim down for 2 seconds to activate binding.

[@MaktybfpvRC]

I love this nicro quad

[@Editer38738]

Awesome review

[@WreckinStreetsDaily]

I just got my bundle I'm charging the goggle battery pack, it has been on a red led for like 3 hours, is it supposed to turn green? Is the controller the same aswell?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I believe the manual has green for charging and red for done.

[@WreckinStreetsDaily]

@@NickBurnsFPV hey can you please help me out i just got this bundle and I cant seem to be able to properly fly it!! I arm it and It spins up like crazy! Now that I think of it I'm so lucky it didn't just fly away on me the first time 😰 please watch my video bro I just uploaded it from my phone and need help on how to fix! There's more in the video ! Please and thank you to anyone and everyone that can help me out I followed everything and somehow I keep getting fucked over.. because the AK A800 didn't even fly for me and it's also ready to fly.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@WreckinStreetsDaily when you hold it that is normal. The gyro feels the movement of your hard and tries to make corrections, when it can't it works harder and harder to make corrections. What happens when you put it on the ground and arm.

[@WreckinStreetsDaily]

@@NickBurnsFPV it doesent do anything the first time I took off cut the throttle and had it bounce on me (noob skills) then after that I couldn't properly fly it then I held it on my hand and tried to get it to work and if you saw that vid that's what happens 😅 this frustration of misin(gin)formation is kicking me straight back to rc I might incorporate fpv into it tho ..

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@WreckinStreetsDaily Did you power cycle it after the bounce? A hard bounce can cause issues with the gyro or even break it.

[@djilly75]

I want to Matty flip your swing set. 😆

[@jansvoboda2812]

Do you think I can buy it if im beginner

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I would hold off right now. I have a product review coming this week that is better.

[@Jack-q8f]

Will this carry my Insta360 go 2

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, but any additional weight does impact flight time. Also this doesn't come with a mount for an external camera. One would have to make a mount or find one to print.

[@sebastianwerner9202]

Great Video. I just got into FPV and love your channel. I got the tinyhawk 2 rtf kit. It was working fine for a while, but the screen stopped working. Contact Emax and they will replace it. I would say it's a great beginner set and Emax responded fast to my inquiry.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you. Good to hear emax is sorting the issue out with you.

first indeed.

@Corey Janesky About 4 minutes with a 450 mah battery.

[@tyresesp9696]

Those props look like they arent going to break ever😂

[@NickBurnsFPV]

They are super stiff.

[@CTholston1]

Not a huge fan of the set. The quad is certainly capable for what it is but the controller has no feedback pressure in the sticks which is annoying and often leading to an over correction (of even the smallest movement) and a crash. Even when trimmed perfectly the sticks just limit so much. Wait a couple more months and get something somewhere around double the price with more features. You will get the experience you want and expect rather than disappointment and buyers remorse.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I think emax has abandoned this radio. The new one is much better. If they did abandon the radio it was the right move

[@justforfun-sz6jc]

looks like DVR is not an option with this kit

correct it is not.

[@captaincavemanfpv9772]

The th2 freestyle is a great quad. I honestly wouldn't recommend it as a 1st quad. My son and I started with a tinyhawk 2 and then upgraded to the freestyle. The goggles are the weakest part of the kit. Just know going in that they won't last long. The controller is ok. Its the next weakest link in this kit. If your new to flying ya wont know the difference anyway. The th2 freestyle is a super fun little ripper. In my experience it can take a beating from 2 inexperienced pilots. Its fast enough to really be alot of fun but not uncontrollable.

[@lawrencemartin8205]

Great review. Was funny and how I looked flying the original TH whoop. The THF2 drone is an amazing little drone.. love it.. I even bought a second one just incase..lol. As for the controller in this kit. Nope.. had so many frustrating moments. With it and the TH whoop ... but got a Jumper T16 tx and this THF2 and wow its so much fun and love flying it. The goggles I still use for this THF2 drone.. but I've switched to DJI FPV .. now. Loving it.. but the analog goggles in kit work great.. just not tx. I want to buy the DIGIDAPTOR Analog adapter for DJI flv goggles but then have to buy module and antenna.. so for now I still use these goggles for my THF2 drone.

[@PBoogerwood]

Can't speak enough positive about the TH2F but that EMAX controller is garbage and the goggles are so bad. Yeah you can function with them, but better to just buy the TH2F, the BetaFPV LiteRadio 2, and either the BetaFPV box goggles or spend just a few bucks more and get the EV800D's. That, to me, is the best starter pack but it does require you to figure out setting up the controller.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

You have had a better experience with the betafpv goggles over the emax goggles?

[@willay747]

ha ha Nice!
