EXO Drones BLACKHAWK 2 PRO - The Review

[@exodrones8791]

What an incredible review! Thank you so much for taking your time to go in depth on the Blackhawk 2 Pro. We have much more to come in the future! We'd love for those reading and watching to also be informed that any purchase of either a Blackhawk 2 Pro or an EXO Mini Pro comes with an included Part 107 training course, for those looking to get their Part 107 drone license. We have seen a couple comments speaking on our incoming ND filters as well, which will be out shortly! Thank you, Captain, for your review. We look forward to serving our customers! Take care everybody, and happy flying. 🦅 #BLACKHAWK2SERIES

[@billjohnsonseattle]

@exodrones, do you have any info on possible future compatibility with the upcoming remote ID requirements for drones operating within the US ?

[@bobbradley6736]

I am Impressed Great Review..... I am on the fence Love all the features the camera has amazing specs

[@ronpetrin8481]

I'm glad to see something else that will compete with DJI. I thought the price would be better and support in America can be key. I will be looking into this one.

[@exodrones8791]

@@billjohnsonseattle Hey there! The FAA has talked about remote ID modules being a necessary addition to your drone for some time now, and has continued to push it off, for whatever reason. Nonetheless, we will have individual modules available to install on drones when regulation is enforced. When it's enforced, all our new drones will have it as well. Any drone sold today that doesn't have it, we'll have a kit & instructions on how to install them. Enforcement of this won't be until at least late 2023, we think probably later, but we'll 100% be on top of it for new drones & drones sold without it. We'll email everyone with the new rules & how to comply once it takes affect. Let us know if you have any other questions, we are always here! 🦅

I just bought the Blackhawk Pro 2 and am a bit overwhelmed. I'm new to the world of drones, but want to use them for exploring. I am a rockhound and relic hunter and thought this would come in handy for pre-trip exploring before heading in on foot! I know I need to FAA register, what a pain! Right now recreational pilot and will move into supplying video for my rockhounding and exploring adventures. Advice is welcome and sought! Thanks in advance!

Hey Steve, I am kicking myself, I bought the Hudson Mini SE Revision model to play with. I should have subscribed sooner to see your review on the EXO. To be honest, I am not a fan of the DJI, although everyone brags they are the best in the market. However, bang for your bucks, I think there are alternatives out there that can do the same for people with a budget like me. Really appreciate your reviews, they are the best, keep them coming Mate.

[@WindWalkerDrones]

It's nice that they still advertise it as Omni directional obstacle avoidance and it's not. They tried to blame their marketing department for the false advertising but yet still won't change their adds. Not cool . Many people bought it for that reason and get a drone that isn't as advertised. Great Company

[@andrewmaw3345]

@Travel Explorer WELL yes and no. Omnidirectional refers to the notion of existing in every direction When they clearly both state NO side to side avoidance. To the point that you sometimes have to disable to fly because the drone has zero clue what to do. But DJI has it (as I said you need to turn it off) Is no sideways flight with obstacle flying on.

[@WindWalkerDrones]

@Travel Explorer Omni directional is obstacle avoidance in front,back, bottom,and sides. By the companies own admission. "It is tri directional obstacle avoidance front,rear and bottom. That was a mistake by marketing. I'm not the only one that got this response from them. So they are knowingly selling it with a wrong description and as of the email I received last week still advertising as Omni. So yes false advertising.

Is that a micro-USB port on the drone and controller?

Can you make a video of the mini exo pro ?

[@mikebrach5412]

Steve I always enjoy your reviews. I looked on Amazon and it looks like $849 on Amazon. If it was $449 I might consider it, for about the same price I can buy the DJI mini 3 pro, which I think is a much better drone. Also, the mini 3 pro doesn't have to be registered, sub 249 g. The Exo is an american-made drone, that goes a long way for me, but I just can't justify that price, as the features, and the night video aren't that great. It appeared to fly well, it seemed to be stable, the video appeared very clear to me, but it's price point is just too high. Thanks again Steve, keep the videos coming I enjoy them always.

[@dan8402]

Don't forget the free part 107 course included with the EXO drone. That being said night time the Air 2S beats it. The EXO feels like a tank. For some US service and support is a big deal. They also have insurance like DJI refresh. In a lot of ways the EXO is a great drone. In other ways the Air 2S is a fantastic drone. I have also heard the ND filters are coming out for the EXO. I guess it comes down to what drone is best for you.

[@exodrones8791]

Hey Dan! Yes, a free Part 107 training course is included with all EXO 'Pro' model purchases. This includes the EXO Mini Pro and the Blackhawk 2 Pro. ND filters are coming soon as well, you are correct! Have a great day! 🚀

[@craigderoche.filmclips4860]

HUMMm.

[@tughillrc6327]

Enjoyed this review. I do have doubts this drone can handle level 8 winds ( Gale Force) 39-42mph. This is very impressive if true as it is difficult to walk at those wind speed let alone fly a drone.Thanks for sharing and look forward to more content from your channel on EXO drones.

[@BlairAir]

On Exo site it says Level 8 (36 mph) wind resistance, then says top speed 35mph, lol! The 1/1.3 camera is same as Mini 3 Pro, but outspec'ed since M3P does 4K60 with 10 bit D-Cinelike and Dual native ISO. That's the "pro" version @$949 with 2 batteries. The regular Blackhawk 2 only has a 1/2.6 sensor that won't shoot over 30fps at ANY resolution (even 1080p) - it's a joke, and not a very good one, paying a grand for a Hubsan. I guarantee that the "production" version WILL have numerous FW issues, but may be all fixed up, in about a year.

[@tughillrc6327]

@@BlairAir I agree, Exo is starting to catch DJI but still has a long was to go. Customer service is more important and primarily the reason I have not decided to buy one at this point, I am searching for a company that has a good quality Drone with a decent camera and great customer service that has the parts and tech support. ( Probley a pipe dream).😎✌🎞

[@tughillrc6327]

@@_mr_andersson This drone can fly at much greater speeds around +70 mph ( If you dropped it off a side of a cliff in 39-42 mph winds) However the landing at the bottom of the cliff may not be the desired effect for a +$800 Drone. I am not saying this is a bad drone by no means. Remove the +8 level wind resistance from the Ad which by the way not many would even attempt to fly in. I do believe it could hover at a 30Mph wind however it would be dicey if the wind was not a sustained wind. If EXO Drones would back up there claims with video proof showing a annomonitor reading out the 30mph wind with the drone flying in it it would make me feel better to spend the 1k+ for a 3 battery system. I would like to test this drone for myself and spend more than 26 minutes on video doing it. I have flown the DJI mini in a 25mph wind and it handled it so 30mph is not unbelievable given the 3600 mah 3s battery system and larger blades. Level 5 is the most common wind resistance for drones. It means that you can fly your drone at wind speeds up to 10.7 m/s (24 mph) safely. Flying in winds above this will result in unpredictable drone movements and a greater risk of accidents.

[@DODG-Dji-mavic]

Thanks for the review. This quadcopter is a very noisy quadcopter and you can hear from the sound that the motors are working at the limit

[@DroneSyndrome]

Nice review Steve. I think its a pretty good drone myself. It is feature rich, has a great camera, transmission is up to par (better than the Hubsan versions) and can stand up in really well in high winds... The price is significantly higher than expected for many but in today’s market prices have been increasing for everything. Yes, its a “Hubsan made” drone for EXO with some slight differences to it like the inner hardware, transmission frequency, firmware upgrades and software-even though you might not notice the differences, they’re there. I think it’s nice to see this collaboration between Hubsan + EXO in the USA. Good for them. 👏🏻 Oh, and by the way, the Santana song is called: “Oye Como Va” and I definitely agree that the start up chime sounds just like it. 😂 (edited) Also, they just release a new firmware upgrade where it now self-calibrates the Obstacle Avoidance sensors, so no need to calibrate them online.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Awesome… about the sensors & song!

[@-hastatus-]

and once again you have made an important contribution by presenting unknown brands with high potential. The EXO Blackhawk appears to be a lot of fun to fly. I find, for example, that the Air 2S takes good pictures and videos, but cannot keep up with the flight fun of a Mini 2 or Nano.I think it's also a question of size, and not just technology. or what do you mean ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Never compare a drone above 250 grams with a drone less than 250 grams. A 250 gram drone is built and made for the purpose of each countries drone regulations. So, the Air 2S is a drone purchased by people who do not have to meet the 250 gram regulation.

It definitely has an impressive camera Steve? I thought about getting one of their other drones about two years ago, but like I didn't know much about them? I still wouldn't buy it anyway? It's nothing like a great reliable DJI drone? The price is great, but definitely not as reliable as it should be. One thing I like that DJI drones don't have it's that landing spot target?

Great review, HOWEVER, I wish you followed thru with a distance test. I currently own a EXO ranger that claimed a 1/2 mile flight distance of which i barely get to 1/4 mile before it self activates its RTH feature, which does work well. I see many other people complaining of the exact same thing so I know its not just me or my environment. I went with EXO because they are on American soil and they offer great customer service, ZI am just not satisfied with false advertising. That being said, I'd be willing to purchase right now, the Black Hawk that you reviewed if zi knew it would go just 2-1/2 miles. (i believe they claim 5 miles) Anyway, I just found your reviews and will be checking them all out till i find a 15,000 foot distance..... for lsess then $1000. Thanks.

Most drones have GPS, not sure why there would be an expectation of more range. I actually have the Autel 6K Pro and just ordered this Blackhawk 2 Pro. Primarily because I want US made. But my Autel, despite what it advertises in range, I'm lucky if I keep a solid connection out to 1.5 - 2K. So, for me, 5 miles is an incredible distance!

Exo has been selling toy grade drones at a premium price for a couple years. Now with their deal with Hubsan they are making a lot of claims that just don't hold up. All the modifications and changes they have influence, not done Hubsan still does it all, why is it their app and controller for their Mini works with the Hubsan Mini it identifies it as an EXO drone. Because the app is just a re-skinned version of the hubsan app. Their merger also, by their press release and interviews done by the CEO, said they were taking over support for Hubsan in the US, all of the links to Hubsan to EXO. But if you have the Hubsan Zino Mini Pro, they tell you they don't do any support for Hubsan only EXO. The only Hubsan support link available in the US goes to an old link for their end of life products, none of the Ace, Zino, or Mini products are on that page.

I have to say Mikey Stu gave it a nod for US based support and service, but no it is not on the same level as the Air 2S. Honestly despite a lot of the good things about the BlackHawk, unless geo fencing is a specific issue for you, then root your Air 2S, or get an EXO. I can't say the EXO drone is bad. But camera to camera the Air 2S knocks it out of the sky pretty easily, especially if you use it for business.

Only real thing holding me right back is that size. I'm also wondering on the shortness of those arms contributes in that. Then adds to the noise. Id like to see them both together for size/noise comparison. AS ALWAYS you are the man. Side note. started a new job. Won't be traveling till much later this year. If you're ever passing through Thunder Bay. Leave me a note on one of these and ill send you my contact. As stated before. I'd love to meet you and pick your brain on tips to relax myself while flying lol. AND ideas/hints on everything else drone after :0) Be safe bud

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The drone is actually a bit smaller than the Air 2s. I used to drive to Winnipeg often passing through Thunder Bay. Now that I’m older my back can’t handle the long drives as much, but If I ever do, I’ll be sure to send out word.

Cmon … This doesn’t compare to the Air2s… lol. It’s clear Captain Drone has a biased opinion about DJI.. when I watched his 3 part mini3pro review I was thinking it but now I’m pretty sure . Dont get me wrong they are honest reviews but there is alway some kind of negativity towards them . I can’t pin point it but I do see the dislike… Anyone know where EXO is today? Lol

[@cliffleibowitz5273]

Just ordered mine. Can’t wait. Only wish I could afford more batteries. Oh well. Some day soon I hope. 🙏

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

First thing you’ll notice is how solid the build feels in your hands (high quality). Happy Flying.

Hi Steve , love your channel, just subscribed. I am a novice to the drone world looking to buy a drone for my next holiday adventure. I am on a budget, the black hawk fits the bill. My problem is, i live in Australia, how do i get one of these???

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Welcome to the channel. EXO drones has the license to sell in North America. Their drones are simply modified Hubsan drones to American audience specifications.

[@michaelsabella5924]

Thanks Capt D. but for less money I would buy the DJI mini 2 - Kind of looks like the SG906 but much better..

[@Slithh]

Great review Cap'n! I am pleasantly surprised by this new drone. I have been seeing the ads everywhere for awhile now and the original EXO drones looked cheap and average. This one appears in competition with DJI and Hubsan. I think the initial asking price is too much but just my opinion. I would buy the DJI Mini 3 before I would buy this. The camera looks good and stable. I do want to know a distance test to see if it's a good as the competition. Hopefully you will do that if not Dustin Dunnel usually does that in Maui. We shall see. If you tire of that one send it this way ;) 😉 I know, don't hold my breath... lol

[@dronecity1699]

NEW... REALLY???? 😊😊😊

[@Slithh]

@@dronecity1699 Ok, I'll play along... This isn't a new drone? sure seems new to me.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good evening always great video nice review

[@sky_king9734]

Good review but the only features I like are the NFZ and it's level 8 wind resistance. But in all honesty, I'll stick with my Air 2. Good to see some competition and realize DJI isn't a monopoly of a company.

[@Matanumi]

Oh.... trust me they pretty much are

[@mm56877]

I like them both tbh it’s just all the battle of firmware not camera and drone. I still use them both except I use exo drone blackhawk2 pro all the time than the air 2s. And the camera quality is literally design for cinematic as I found it easier to edit as. The air 2s for my opinion they are good with colors as vivid bright. So again it’s all comes down to firmware and extra features to make film easy. As recreational user too you don’t need all those feature unless you want to make easy video. It’s all about controlling your drone and the firmware and also the wind resistance.

[@The.0311.Patriot]

Literally ANYTHING is better than CHICOM Tech. 👊🏻😎

[@periometro]

No es competencia para el air2s, en todo caso, es un mavic air 1 upgrade y solamente tal vez, por la señal. De ahí en más, es para quienes extrañan ese bello diseño con el plus de mejor conectividad y ya.

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Steve.....Enjoyed the video. I thought the still photo were good. Will this zoom in photo mode? Air 2S will not.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Crap! I forgot to test that.

[@jimanderson4865]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 No worries.....was just curious.
