I really Enjoyed this New FPV Drone - Flywoo Flylens 85 - Review

[@sirtubemaster]

I watch a LOT of reviews from other channels as well as yours....I find myself making decisions Moreso on your videos then others. I really appreciate your reviews, spot on and honest.

Nice , just bought this quadcopter , i do wish flywoo would offer a strong power build with stronger motors 4s capable , 3in whoop and of course their 03 LITE tech . LIke i wish foxeer had dji 03 lite tech being they do have a strong power whoop . U would think all these companies would have literally all the options. I did however get Foxeer after like influencing them with logics to add Dji 03 to there 10in. BNF which they now have a option for for 2 weeks now . Mr. Captain Drone u for sure need to test the Dji Helion 10 soon too, i bought one of those of recent too but have not flown it yet but its sweet. And they now ship them out with betaflight 4.5 rc which has awesome return to home capability. Id also like to see more companies selling BNF"s that being AOS frame brand, Ummagawd frame brand, and so on. Five33 started selling bnf's and i bought a Footy 03 and its sweet as part of the tech is equalizing the vertical CG so roll and flip capabilities are faster and snappier which is why MCK loves that frame for freestyle. yea even though i am a union machinist and millwright for cleveland cliffs burns harbor does not mean i like building my own quadcopters, or working on them, or working on all my offroad racing rc's i have. Most of my time is working and relaxing in this Corrupt globalist anti american democrap joe biden era of time, when america becomes a true republic and america is put first finally when the current Continuity of government operation ends them i bet ill be way more motivated in relaxing less and enjoying my million worth of all kind of engine toys, guns, rc toys wayyyyyyyy more often then.

Glad to help. The RC hobby is addictive. I started back in 2013 with a cheap camera drone and then went from there into exploring the entire RC hobby.

[@hobbyhowiefpv219]

I got the Walksnail version with 1000mAh battery with the Insta360 GO 3 camera mount weighs 156 grams. From Hong Kong to the States took about 1 week to get. Fly,s real good cause of the great tune an getting about 3 & half minutes of flight time with the G03. As far as how loud well she is not quite but not scary loud , thinking Karen proof. The 1 bad thing I could say about this is the 3D printed battery holder, hard to swap from 750 to 1000 an the fit of after market batteries the Flywoo batteries fit good. Fly,s good inside an can handle the wind outside better then most. No JELLO camera mount thumbs up.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks for sharing. Battery mounts are the twist on/off type. Push down & twist to remove and do the same to install.

[@mikeg8636]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 @hobbyhowiefpv219 Hey Steve, thanks for the review. I just received one of these with the Flywoo Explorer 1000mAh batteries. I can't get these to fit into the 1000 mAh tpu holder it comes with. I know the 750 comes installed on the drone. I pulled the 1000 mAh holder from the parts package it doesn't fit. The holder is about 4mm short in the width of the battery. Are those things supposed to be stretched like a rubber band? I would think they would snap if I tried that. What other options are there for mounting the batteries?

[@riccheng2274]

I am new to fpv, I think I will go to digital rather than analog because I like to record good footage in goggle or onboard drone. I prefer Walksnail Avatar HD Goggle X to DJI Goggle 2 because very few tiny drones for DJI O3, but there are some good tiny drones for Walksnail. Regarding Walksnail, A. Betafov Meteor85 B. Flywoo Flylens85 A or B is recommended ? Other suggestion ? Idea ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The original Walksnail records at 1080p with no stability and no micro SD card, so that is why it is in very small drones. It is up to the pilot to ad stabilization to the footage later.

[@sakulixx]

You could certainly fly it indoors if you have the skills

[@StarsAtNight1]

I like that you review hobby drones, but I don't really get this drone, is a bit large for flying indoors and has no soft bumper. And for out doors the it's a bit small, will probably be very sensitive to the wind.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You can fly it indoors if you have the skills. Outdoors in wind it would feel the wind high up, but less so close to the ground.

[@heatice77]

I like, but 6 min with 1050 is not good enough IMO

Hey there Steve. Mike from Clearwater FL here. I have not had much luck flying o3 drones in low light situations. Is the camera in this drone different than the original o3.? Ru using auto or manual.

It means that “I’m first and foremost a Drone Pilot of GPS and FPV drones”, and that with those skills I now do EVERYTHING in the RC hobby. In simple terms I have not wasted my life in the hobby world by ONLY flying a drone but instead used my drone flying skills to apply that to flying RC planes, RC Helicopters, RC cars, RC boats, RC Tanks. My goal is to show Drone Pilots that they have the skills to branch out into other areas of the RC Hobby world.

Hi, I have a technical question. A few years back in one of your videos you covered not to take off from a metal surface with a drone.
