hey joshua! just wanna say that I really look up to you dude and thanks for all these great informing vids!!!

[@sunshynff]

I don't have a bind n fly, but I've been very happy with their electronic hardware. Also, I LOVE those connectors they send where you have to insert your own wires!! Yeah, sometimes you have to solder them to other wires from another connector, but I'm often mixing and matching hardware. When it comes to which order they're in, especially ESC-FC ...cur/nc/1234/vcc/gnd....are rarely in the same order, but if you buy just an FC or ESC from Darwin they send you several of those connectors, 3/4/ and 5 pin, and a whole bunch of individual wires, so you can make your own customized harness.

[@scotthendrrix]

OH wow I love it!!!! I think its definitely worth a shot for sure

[@VernStarr]

A friend of mine that's new to the hobby picked up the Walksnail version recently - I was pretty impressed for what it cost! One thing that struck me as really odd was that the FC isn't actually mounted on gummies, it is sandwiched between blue silicone spacers (which is close but not quite the same). I helped him redo the stack with proper gummies and metal locknuts on the very bottom and top of the stack screws. We also updated the ESCs to BlueJay and turned on RPM filtering and dynamic idle and loaded the SupaFly 5" preset. I also gave him a set of HQ V2S props. Between all that it got rid of most of the chugging/grinding noise it randomly makes, and flies great. The Walksnail VTX is in the way back section, and of course has a completely different camera than yours had. Oh, and I did have to laugh a bit when I saw the ELRS receiver was zip-tied to the big ESC capacitor. All in all a really good starter/basher.

[@StrickleeFpv]

I have this quad fly it every day and believe it or not it has become my main dependable drone . I replaced the cam with run cam 2 Phoenix Jb edition . That’s about it and some tuning it flys great even on 4s 1500mah batteries . 🤷‍♂️ not to shabby with crossfire go pro mount sucked and snapped off so I got a fixed angle mount and it is solid now great platform for learning and upgrades .

[@pbshooter100]

I have a Tyro129 7" that I purchased back in the day. I also have a Tyro 79. The Tyro's were sold by Eachine. The frame design of the Dawin240 is not exactly the same as my 129 but it is very similar in a lot of respects. The flight stack looks to me to be identical. The camera that came with the 129 kit was total junk, the same that you have found to be true with the Darwin. I replaced my with one from Caddx. I did get RPM filtering /Bidirectional Dshot working by installing bluejay firmware and as you indicated I had to change the gyro rate from 8K to 4K to get it all to work. So while the Darwin240 may not be an exact copy of the Tyro's of the past it seems to be pretty darn close.

[@funkynerd_com]

DarwinFPV make some good stuff. I've got custom build 5" race drones, big 12" cinelifters, micros, etc, but one of my favourites to just rip about is my DarwinFPV Baby Ape V2. Even with just the 2S on it, but throw a 3S on it and it is insane.

[@abcdefg4570]

I've been building long-range fixed wing UAV aircraft, and I've been thinking about getting my first FPV drone. I think I'll get the Baby Ape, as the reviews are really good, it's tiny and can be flown pretty much anywhere, and it's really cheap.

[@hyperx6525]

It cool but on the website you cant offer thing from the frame like only a arm you only can offer the hole frame etc. Why i can not buy thing like the under plate etc. ????

[@ZorrotorFPV]

Why do I think DarwinFPV is the former Eachine? Looking at the blue, 3-star bell on the motors´from the TS215, the VTX layout and the brightish carbon fiber, the old Johnny's Astrox frame design before he went to QAV, oh, and the NARROW 2.8mm camera lens from the firsts Wizards.

[@Sugalime3D_FPV]

You can use 4S or 6S LIPOS on this with pretty the same performance... From what I've read from comments on KZbin, it is possible to set Betaflight so that if the FC detects a 6S battery, the FC will open the throttle up to 67%, if the FC detects a 4S battery, the FC open the throttle up to 100%. I would suggest you buy small 4S batteries for a 3.5 to 4 inch, and 6S batteries for the J5. You can use both on the J5 until one motor breaks down. Then buy 6S motors.

[@aglandorf75]

Started off with a Tyro 129 and got myself the Darwin Fpv cineape 25 which is still a good Quad. I wished I had bought the Walksnail + Elrs combo, but I was a early bird which catched the Analog + Elrs. Will try to convert it to Walksnail.

[@PhenomDriver2020]

Baby ape pro v2 is one of m favorite quads

[@BooToob]

Haha perfect timing considering I asked a question about this quad yesterday on stream. My Darwin 240 has been great! Edit: Ended up updating mine with betaflight 4.4, swapped the props for PB&J's, and swapped the vtx/camera with a caddx vista. It only comes in 4s that's why I was asking about 6s on 2400kv via motor limit yesterday.

[@Sugalime3D_FPV]

what FC target did you choose for an betaflight update to 4.4 ?

[@hyperx6525]

on beta flight there is not the right FC target .... i also dont know which i must choose ????????

Run cam Phoenix 2 Jb edition is a great replacement cam for these I put them on both the 240 and 129. Big improvements definitely have to replace the cam it’s janky out the box for sure

[@jdnic1]

I mean as a person who builds his own quad (15+ quads built) i see this as something I could just buy and trash around, rather than my expensive $300+ quad. And for me, it's still interesting. Now if this quad have bluetooth connection to beta flight then that's another+ because none of my built quads have that feature.

@@Nathan-qt2zi So you fly 6S on these oroginal 4S 2400 kV motors ? 🤣 Actually I burned all of my motors by activating 3D and BD-DShot. I also did a video about that. I had the chance to switch to 6S with buying 6S motors. But i decided to stay at 4S just because I can't affort a second 6S drone and new lipos at the moment. I have a second 4S drone. I want always 2 drones of the same S number. Because if you damage your drone you can still discharge your lipos with your second drone...

Hey JB does anyone make I'm sure they do a camera and transmitter that I can attach to an existing drone for fpv to my phone. Analog is fine. Low-latency is important.

[@boostey42]

what happens at 15:23? i have the same problem with mine. and i dont know how to get rid of it.

[@Sugalime3D_FPV]

I destroyed my motors (Enable 3D and BD-Dshot, i have a vid too). Nevertheless I decided to buy new motors in 4S and not 6S. Since I already have a 5" 4S ultralight drone and now the 4S batteries. And I can't afford a second 6S drone with new batteries at the moment. I always want to have 2 drones with the same S number, so if I start with 8 charged batteries, for example, I destroy the drone at first flights, I still have the second drone to discharge the batteries. Discharging the batteries on the charger is just super annoying and the charging cycle that reduces the lifespan of the battery is then lost... But in the long term I will probably convert it into a 6S drone... If I got a new (an than second) 5" 6S standard freestyle drone...

[@chickwithstick7695]

What camera would you recommend for this?

[@Sully365]

So the camera reminds me fo the x220 eachine...i never knew why it was SO hard for me to learn to fly until i got a camera with a wider FOV. annoying af.

[@EvanBfpv]

I just got the nazgul5 v3 as my first quad. I did not consider this as an option at the time but I'm liking the v3 a lot.

[@kpack1993]

Yeah if you could afford the V3 then that's a much better quad. This is just a great beginner quad for learning and if you're struggling to justify spending 250.

[@scribs368]

@@kpack1993 true it seems decent and I wish I had a cheaper option at the time. I also already had a few 6s batteries so I locked into going more expensive anyway.

[@joshuabrooks4941]

Does the 55A esc give it any advantage? I bought it because both my Nagul v3 4s and my Roma 6s have 45a escs. I thought this one might be a little faster.

[@StrickleeFpv]

It’s fast depending on what your pids throttle and tape of lipo id put a six s and just limit the throttle a little and put a nice pid tune on it I find with full go pro my p and d gain and balance had to adjust slightly on the sliders . It connects to speedy bee app as well wich is cool in the field for tuning or adjusting

I put the run cam 2 phoenix Jb edition on all my Darwin’s and it looks great . The cameras that come are janky . Definitely a world of difference

[@nextgenerationfpv]

I get that it a great bargain to start, but all my club mates and myself have had longevity issues with Darwin drones. The 5v rail.dies easy, some blew on first fight. Vtxs fry easy, so wasn't surprised to see it didn't set correctly. Have to say, I wouldn't recommend them, even at that price. You'll soon be spending the extra $150 bucks to fix it and replace faulty parts that could have bought a better quad. Please JB, let us know how long that one lasts flight wise. Oh and 6s will melt that esc quite quickly too.

[@bigsmokerc]

The motors are semi-generic rebranded motors used for other rc purposes. The shafts are removable so you can invert them and run the motor inboard as opposed to outboard. Plenty of incredibly high performance and high wear motors for other hobbies still work this way. Just sayin

[@adamosanatolitis5833]

I am sorry I have to say it for the people in Europe. I will take Remote ID over the prices that you guys get in the US. JB just said that you can buy the Nazgul V3 for 100 more. Assuming around the 330 Dollars range.... I bought my Nazgul V3 WITH A VISTA, for 481 euros (and an ELRS receiver).... Give me these prices and availability and I will take the remote ID with me. Jesus christ the prices always make me sad to my core. not even taking into account that the dollar is weaker than the Euro which makes the case even worst. Sorry don't wanna rant.

I bought it 2 months ago. I even think 16:9 is good because of my glasses with an 800x480 display. I bought a Caddx Ratel 2 for it because I just want the best. 2 things I don't like. You can't update Beaflight because you don't know the exact target (There are different kind of the same FC...). And the installed ELRS receiver does not have a model name and the information is nowhere to be found. But as far as I know you need the model name if you want to update ELRS. I may be able to solve these problems by contacting Darwinfpv and get the right informations. It's on my to-do list... I will convert it to 6S as soon as I have a 2nd 6S copter. And use the 4S batteries I bought, on my 4 and 5 inch ultralight copters. Today I would still rather go for the Nazgul. It's only slightly more expensive but gets BLHeli32 ESC (With BD-DShot) and more powerful VTX and probably also higher quality hardware overall and probably better settings and support. It's supposed to be very good... PS: I have burned and damaged all my motors of it by activating 3D mode and BD-Dshot...
