Hey bud!!! I got a protek 35 and IMPROVED the prop wash in tight areas!!! I reversed the motor rotations!! Try it out im amazed, fling indoors like a PRO!! I figured instead of air being pushed to the sides of drone change it up to props in and that may push more air front to back!

Thanks for all your videos. You have no idea how helpful they have been for me, especially your detailed reviews, and tutorials on betaflight setup. I have been flying the dji drones mostly and wanted to make a transition into FPV Drones but did not know how to, I did finally managed to successfully setup a micro fpv drone and get it flying, I did crash a lot lol but I have no regrets as Its a part and parcel with this art. Your videos helped me a lot to trouble shoot and then figure stuff out and finally see it flying. So thank you! Kuch respect! Stay Blessed!!

If you're not a beginner and thinking about buying this just build a slammed Squirt V2 with FPVCycle 2203/4 on 6S (or similar motor if you can find em). I think all the real advantages from the Protek35 are the 2203.5 motor and short prop guards not the larger prop. Slammed squirt with pancake motors on 6s solves all these issues while still being really tough, easy to work on and a proven system. You could also look at the FPV Cycle Cinesplore with 2203.5(ish) motors.

At 3:32 when you show the Bumble bee , Could they just make a trim ring to snap in or use the screw points to sit just above the prop that would effectivly close the gap between the prop and the duct sidewall and make it more efficient ? Maybe someone has already done that but I was just curious since you stated that even the small gap made it useless as a functioning duct .

Seems hard to* find sub 250g BNF quads w/ digital HD systems, I guess that's an issue when you aren't skilled enough to build yet! As a newbie who has spent decent time in a simulator, Ive had a great time flying the Protek25 on just a 4s 850mah for recreation. Managed to come out unscathed after a couple minor crashes doing rolls and powerloops, but I did install the foam padding. You bring up really good points about how the bigger options provide better reliability and more functionality than the Protek series for those wanting to use a GoPro or do heavier acro

I guess you have to be quick on the kill switch. Problem with my Taycan cinewhoop was breaking props, burning motors and even the esc board one time in light crashes. It fell hundreds of feet one time and didnt break anything about the frame so it was tough otherwise. After replacing 4 motors I got rid of it, never thought that would be the problem with a cinewhoop.

Could not agree more... whoops are the perfect choice for beginners. I started and quickly lost 3 different quads until I picked up a little beta 85x. Crashed it, severely, numerous times but it always survived. And it was easy to manage even in Acro mode. I bet that I’d give up on the hobby if I didn’t have that 85x (flying 5” monster builds now after only 4 months in:). Great video and one of your most entertaining:) I did not know that original whoops had flared ducts with grooved props. Hmmm... (fires up CAD program)

Did you end up finding the go pro before a mower got it? It sounded lighter after the stair crash. I thought "wow, it sounds like the voltage had really sagged and the crash allowed it to recover". As for the ducts, I had no idea ducted quads were so loud since my moblite6 isnt but size helps I'm sure. I just got a Protek 35 and I'm considering printing some prop guards similar to my Flywoo Firefly Nano baby 20s.

All the cinewoops so far have been too noisy to fly close to people without them freaking out and guards or police show up. To my experience and opinion noisy cinewoops are very bad for our reputation. Quiet kwads without prop guards sound a lot friendlier and people come to me joyful and interested and a party starts where everyone wants to look through my goggles.

About halfway through rest of pack when I noticed that my REC wasn't displayed in goggles! Yep, Micro SD had ejected, after having flown 5 packs! D'oh, there goes that footage. Anyway, hope you found it, it tried back tracking through goggle DVR, but a fingernail sized Micro SD is, I dare say even harder than finding a fist sized Gopro. Good luck!

I just got a Protek 35, a new pair of DJI goggles and a DJI FPV controller (the first version). Just fyi, the air unit on mine had a 90 degree up board added to the usb port (I had no issues with the FC port) . Mu usb 90 degree thingy didn't work as installed, in fact it didn't fit into the frame and was sitting on a bit of an angle from the factory (ouch!). I ripped it out. To remove 90 degree board I took off the top of the frame and one side of the prop guards. Like an idiot I put the quad back together after I activated the air unit. When it was time to bind the goggles and transmitter I couldn't hit the little button (I'm old, I can't see that little button) so I took off the top again so I could get my hotdog finger in to push the link/bind button. Also in the videos I watched they just show binding the goggles but not the activation. Goggles activation videos showed activation showing up on DJI assistant 2. Will it didn't. Activation did not come up on DJI Assistant 2, just firmware updates. If the goggles are not activated you can not link them to the air unit. I ended up linking the Protek 35 to another pair of goggles that were activated with a DJI FPV quad (I had to fire up the goggles and find in the menu where you switch from DJI FPV quad to DJI air system) then I activated the new goggles with one of my DJI FPV quads and a mobile device. I was running low on time and didn't check if the switch for DJI Air system or DJI FPV quad showed up after activation but it certainly wasn't present before activation. I don't know if downgrading the firmware on the new goggles would have solved the issue. I had zero issues activating and binding the transmitter. I'm not complaining, this is purely fyi for anyone that purchases the same or a similar setup so they will know what to expect and possibly have a solution.

Greetings and congratulations on your excellent and fun content. / Pablo Win

That was helpful. In the middle of building a Squirt as Mr. Shen intended and still glad I am doing that. Can you do one on the Betaflight 95x/85x and maybe how they compare to the Protek's?

For Easter this Year you should invite a select few participants from your FPV crew and do an Easter egg hunt for lost Gopros and quads on the property 🐰 Also this video has solidified my decision i made a few months ago when I went with the Rotor Riots version of the Shen drones Squirt cinewhoop. I have also crashed it many times and the only time the ducts cracked was when I was flying it outside pretty hard when it was 15 degrees out and crashed into the asphalt. It literally only cracked the foot area that are on the newer style ducts and it was an easy hot glue fix and black electric tape and you can't even tell. I have bashed it up quite a bit and I must say it still even looks brand new. You should never have to replace anything except ducts if you own the rotor riot cinewhoop. Glad I went to R.R. with my money 💰 still...Great video

I'm getting back into the hobby after a 2 year hiatus, I still have a couple 5" 6S rigs (going to need all new batteries) and a baby hawk. Couple questions, did Helio fade out? did 5" quads fall out of favor? I'm getting back into it with a TinyHawk II, I just wanted something to toss around and not dump a bunch of money right away.

How original Protek 25 compares against Protek R25 and Protek 25 Pusher? Is there any performance difference or it's basically the same, just with a different design? Are there any components in R25 which are significantly better/newer/more advanced compared to what is used in two previous models (Pusher and original Protek 25)? What do you think?

I'm thinking of getting a quad. I had a Tinyhawk and I just never could get the hang of it. I have a DJI Mini2 but I keep crashing it because I am flying it like a cinewhoop. I think I'll get a ciniwhoop because I'm not really a racer but I want to get fast paced cine drone shoots. I'll work on the simulator before I waste money to see if I CAN FLY IT THOUGH

I have the Protek 25 Analog. I had about 50 flights in and hit a tree. It fell in the street from about 15' up and broke the right prop guard. I replaced it no problem. Then my camera and VTX died. I sent it into the iFlight USA repair center and they replaced the camera and VTX. Today I took it out for the first time since the repair and it flew great; I am not flying with a HD camera. I really like how this drone flies, but I agree with JB that the prop guards are not the most durable.

@@chriswegener3373 I bought mine BNF, so the receiver was already in the drone. I am using the TBS Crossfire that came in it, so I am assuming it is the nano. Usually, the wiring diagrams for iFlight products are available on both iFlight's website and dealers as well. I looked at all of the places I have gotten iFlight wiring diagrams from and none of them had wiring diagrams for the iFlight Protek 25 or 35 PNP. Maybe JB can help you out. Sorry I couldn't help.
