How to Bind the Tinyhawk Freestyle II (2) and any Emax Hawk

[@richardbowman6227]

Dude thank you so much I was about to give up I was pressing the boot button all this time was getting ready to send my tinyhawk 3 plus freestyle back which this also works with thank you you legend

[@roarnabenielsen4560]

I really want to learn how to bind the tinyhawk freestyle 2 with tinyhawk 3 rtf kit

[@Datfpv]

it should be the same process.

[@ALmyPaLFPV]

Thank you! All bound up to my freestyle 2 and tinyhawk 2 ! Now I need some better goggles than the stock rtf emax box gogs

[@ZT3X]

have you bought the new goggles?

[@pexigames1796]

after i plug in the batteries is flashes red, blue and green for 5seconds and then only red, when i click the bind button it doesnt react :(((

[@tomkoller749]

Can you bind any drone this way? Eg; Thinhawk3 plus freestyle?🤔

[@Deadseb414]

many thanks.....USB Data cable important.....EMAX cable that comes with drone is not a data cable??

[@Datfpv]

NO CABLE COMES WITH THE DRONE / EMAX QUADS... AT ALL... EVER... I BUY DIRECT FROM EMAX MYSELF, NO CABLE SUPPLIED.

[@yuvi9758]

Hi ya! I have a question please, my ocd reads "rssi low" but im not sure how to bypass this Please help Cheers

[@Hohmies86]

What about binding to the turnigy evolution tx?

[@Datfpv]

never done it mate sorry :(

[@jonathenvelez2457]

Can this drone be bind to a spektrum transmitter??

[@Datfpv]

these ship with d8 frsky receivers in them... you could swap out the receiver to a speci one ?

Tut on how to bind the tiny hawk / freestyle with e8 transmitter emax

[@Editer38738]

Can you do a video on the iflight baby nazgul and the if8-e radio

[@Ps5_ggamer]

Just watched your video on this to as I just bought one…. Just gone to check tinyhawk 2 freestyle and here we’re are again 😂😂 ❤thanks for the content

[@Datfpv]

Have fun!

[@sushenpeiris4986]

Can I do it with the race

[@Datfpv]

yes it should work with all emax quads

[@bagiinfo45ep]

Fyi The first button on top is vtx button use for unlock 25 mw to real 200mw vtx.

[@Datfpv]

if you press that button and power the quad - its the boot button.. it puts the quad in dfu mode for flashing firmware.

[@lukehayner3202]

Also, how do you angle the camera down? Thanks!

[@MrMaker-mz1kc]

There are two screws on the side loosen them move the angle then tighten them again hope this helps😁

[@blackninja9720]

Can I also use eachine literadio?

[@Datfpv]

if it is frsky and has d8 then yes

[@jovanvaliente3850]

Quick q. Im just new and will be purchasing it. Will i bind it again if i change new battery or end the day and fly for tomorrow?

[@LockyLive]

Hey Dat I'm totally in your debt mate. I bought this kit last year and didn't know what the hell D8 and D 16 was and thought I'd bought the wrong controller. I even bought a new rtx to go on the quad to make it work with my lite radio 2. All I had to do was go through the process of switching it over to D8 and the bind process worked great. Can't thank you enough. I look forward to many minutes of crashing now 🤣 thankyou so much.

[@Datfpv]

happy it helped mate, you'll have plenty of crashes! its all part of it just don't give up

[@swimbeyonder]

I have a problem with my tinyhawk2, I binded it with the radio, and on betaflight I can see the switches and input actions as gas, yaw pitch and roll working, I also added the arm control, and other 2 as I see in videos, but then, if I power it up with the radio binded it doesn't fly, althought the leds blink wile giving inputs from the radio (that shows that the binding is correct) the props don't spin, it is not working.... can you help??

[@lukehayner3202]

Hey man, I bound it to the beta FPv controller, however, the switches are reversed, the top left one needs to be flicked down to start the drone (turn the props on).

[@purplemike4840]

Just move the slider to the part when the switched is flicked

[@calmryze]

liked and subbed:) this was really helpful and super beginner friendly especially for me starting off fpv ❤

[@andrewmcgregor9691]

Finally got a solid light but no flight? Do i have to configure all the commands?

[@Datfpv]

Hi - the controller and hawk pretty much come set-up but you do need to check things are correct and working - the main think with the controller is the 'receiver' tab in betaflight make sure the sticks are doing the correct thing, see my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYu4lmCpeJygo7c

[@andrewmcgregor9691]

@@Datfpv Thanks for the help, but now I have another problem. As soon as the drone flies up it kills the throttle and falls to the ground , not more than a foot up too, again and again I would appreciate the extra help and thanks again

[@Datfpv]

is this you killing the throttle? - if iyt arms and flies things are working.. without seeing what is happening and your complete set-up it will be impossible to say what is happening.

[@andrewmcgregor9691]

@@Datfpv I dont think so unless i am just that ignorant to the whole deal as a i am a newbie flyer I click an auxillary and the wings begin to spin, i apply the throttle, the drone shoots upward with a spinning motion and falls to the ground

[@Datfpv]

have to ask... check out the receiver tab in betaflight its one that gets missed, I have a vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYu4lmCpeJygo7c

[@look2christ777]

I cannot get this quad to bind to the LiteRadio2 SE (new version) in D8 protocol no matter what I do. I have tried different firmwares in betaflight, have reset to orginal stock settings. The radio blinks three times confirming it's in D8, but for whatever reason, the quad refuses to bind to D8. It will only bind to D16, but emax does not recommend D16. I have no idea how to get this thing to bind to D8.

[@Datfpv]

hey - I haven't got the SE version as yet, but I don't think it would be that different so it should bind ok... does the controller bind to other quads? is it just the freestyle? have you done th cli command lind to try and bind it? have you messed a setting up flashing firmware?

[@jeremyblattner7933]

Same issue here. Betaflight recognizes the tinyhawk 2 but no bind. Protocol 8 on the se. Would love some help. Thanks for your videos!

[@Datfpv]

@@jeremyblattner7933 if you did / followed the vid then it maybe actually bound, but you might have a set-up issue, check this vid out : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYu4lmCpeJygo7c

[@jeremyblattner7933]

Thanks for the reply! I am seeing the issue now is that neither the bind_rx on cli nor the bind button change any lights on the tinyhawk 2. It remains red and blue flashing. So the radio can’t bind anyway. Betaflight recognizes the drone though. motors turn, etc.

[@Datfpv]

@@jeremyblattner7933 so it must be bound, but you had a set-up issue in betaflight, - connect the controller and see if things move in the receiver tab - also if you have it connected via usb it won't arm.

[@sushenpeiris4986]

Can I do it with the emax babyhawk r pro 4 please reply it will mean the world please to the guy who reply please

[@Datfpv]

I don't know is my answer - I think they are different fc in them than the whoops / tinyhawks.

[@bsicc]

What if I don't get a solid blue light even after the CLI command?

[@Datfpv]

Hi - sounds like something is a miss.. have you done anything to it or is this the first time? - make sure your betaflight version is upto date... when you connect to betaflight does the 3d image move when you move the hawk?

[@diggsit69]

I have it bind to the tiny hawk 2 but the switch on the Betafpv literadio 2 se controller aren’t working properly the beeper is working on the right top switch I think when it’s clicked either once or twice it starts the beeper on the drone so the switches aren’t working other than getting the beeper on the drone engage one of the switches on the right side I can’t get the motors to start up or anything but it must be bound because it’s letting the drone beep can you tell me what to do using the Betafpv light radio 2 se?

[@Datfpv]

its your sticks, you can adjust them in betaflight, check this vid out : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYu4lmCpeJygo7c

[@louiecabrera3241]

I have the lite radio 2 and I have it binded and it’s connecting but when I go to arm the qwad it doesn’t do anything and the led lights start flashing. Osd of my googles say throttle when it supposed to be armed but nothing is happening

Anyone unable to get the betafpv radio light to switch to d8 mode? Holding the bind button down while powering up the controller as the manual says, doesn't work.

[@Datfpv]

hi mate, are you sure you have the frsky version? or is this the controller from a starter kit?? if its from the starter kit you can't use it with emax quads...

[@thenewfire]

@@Datfpv I have the frsky version, not from a starter kit. Also my drone doesn't just straight connect in Betaflight, what did you have to do first for that to connect?

[@Datfpv]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX67fZmcqt2Nps0 you have to repeat the process to get to d8 mode - 3 pink flashes. What quad do you have? - if you are having issues connecting to beatflight its normally a driver issue on your computer... on the start-up screen of betaflight there are links to the drives needed / and download links.

[@thenewfire]

I've got the same quad and controller as you. I was using the drivers from silLabs and using the other link fixed it. I can bind but now I just get constant beeping from the drone. The blink patterns change though when I flip switches

Hi - the radio needs to be in d8 mode, you press the bind button on the bottom of the hawk, then the bind button on the back of the radio, you'll notice lights change on the hawk.. disconnect the battery from the hawk, then put the battery in again - see if its connected it shoiuld be... if it doesn't arm it will be some other issue - you will see the red light flash if you move switches on your radio... check out my other vids for more info etc, thanks

Erm...My Tinyhawk Freestyle 2 came with a USB cable to charge the controller and headset battery. I wasted a good few minutes trying to connect it to my PC with that cable. I am currently having a really weird argument with Bangood who sent me the wrong replacement controller for my EZ Pilot. I know its the wrong controller because it binds to the Freestyle after I followed your instructions and it has an aerial and the EZ pilot controller does not. Any idea if it is possible to flash a normal Emax controller to work with an EZ Pilot or where I can get a EZ Pilot controller quickly?
