Shocking Performance From A Tiny FPV Drone! // FLYWOO 1.6" NANO BABY V2 REVIEW

[@FabioPansera]

I'm the Editor: Please like this comment to force Joshua to use the lights, I beg you.

[@Jota.Barrakero]

Hi!! Can u tell us the song name?? Nice video!

[@ol-man-duffyj688]

True story back in the day I messaged JB I’d give home $40 for 10 min of his brain time to troubleshoot. That man gave me his Venmo and immediately called. I flew 15 min later and he was catching his own flight. Still remember this and smile. That’s COMMUNITY, that’s what drone world can still be with our efforts. Josh! You rock bro! 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

[@serenestateofbeing1062]

Reminds me of my experience with hdzero support. They really went outta their way to help me. Got 3 vtxs fixed for free other than shipping. They didnt care where or when i got the vtxs, as long as i got an hdzero product, its all game

[@samholdsworth420]

If It was a real community you wouldn't have to pay him... He would do it just to help a brother fly 😊

[@ol-man-duffyj688]

@@samholdsworth420I understand your point and Josh would have helped for free the thing was I was bugging him while he was literally getting ready to take off in a flight and when you do this I will happily PAY someone for their time and my convenience any day. I was happy, he was happy. Makes perfect sense to me

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Hey there, Sam. I spend about 2 hrs a day answering about 30-60 emails, more or less every day. I do this without asking for any money or other compensation. I do this because when I started into FPV, people helped me for free, and I wouldn't be here without them. I also have never put my video content behind a paywall, for the same reason. Now imagine that I was answering the same 30-60 questions every day, but instead of spending 2 minutes shooting off an email, I'm spending 20 minutes on the phone. I would literally spend all day, every day, on the phone with people. I wouldn't spend time with my family. I wouldn't make YT videos. I would just answer phone calls all day, every day. That's why I charge money if somebody wants me to get on the phone with them. Because when I spend 30 minutes talking to one person, I could have answered 15 emails in the same amount of time. It's not that my time is so valuable that I have to charge for it. It's that focusing on YOUR phone call exclusively takes me away from helping other people. For fuck's sake man, I was boarding a plane and this guy asked me for emergency help and offered to tip me. I helped him and accepted his tip. Why you gotta make something sinister out of it.

[@cmosdaboss]

JB you do so much for free. You don't get even 10% of what your content is worth from any tip or patreon should be paying you in revenue. You are a trooper bro!!!

Only drawback to tiny drones is finding them when you crash in tall grass. They need louder beepers on them.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Use turtle mode and thrash the props.

[@hornedreaper33]

Thrash them gently. Just enough that you hear it.

Perfect timing Joshua! I will be doing my first (real) FPV flight this weekend with one of these and I am even more eager after seeing your video! Thank you for helping me get my radio, goggles, and drone flight ready!

[@ben51t]

I have the original v1 and have had for nearly 2 years , it has had countless crashes and is still going strong. It's the analog dead cat with crossfire and weighs 24g or 37g with the 450 battery. It has 082.4 motors with bi blades. It still flies well but won't connect to betaflight anymore. Maybe it's time for an upgrade 🤔 they are so fun to rip around!!

[@83RBurke]

I’ve said it before but I love your property-that massive brick retaining wall is impressive

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Gotta say..... I just really enjoy this video. Watched it numerous times and purchased the analogue and Hdzero version. Excellent video/edit/music/observations and well done Flywoo.....

Can't get over how much better that Walksnail goggle video looks than the other systems. IMO not enough credit is given to WS for making digital VTXs small enough to fit nano quads like these.

[@mirceavalentinneagoe6081]

12:50 that helicopter wants to join Bardwell's FRIA

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Love how this flies. Awesome little quad. 🤘

[@DeruginizCLS]

Finally pulled the trigger on one of these, I’ve always wanted small ripper like this. Thanks Bardwell!

[@Demo-bile]

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Vsauce. Loved the video , keep it up

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

7:50 if the tiny sliver of plastic bothers people, you can take an exacto knife or something similar and slice it off easy peasy.

[@averagefpv9449]

Now it's time for Walksnail to give it's walk snail a run... Don't worry JB--I'm here for ya! 😉🤭

[@aphinion]

The HDZ looks like a great middle ground. I'm surprised it holds up stronger than analog! I'm also impressed about how much WS improved - the initial reviews where pretty unflyable... but it turned into a pretty solid link if latency isn't much of a concern for the pilot. Now they just gotta make some rugged boards :)

[@andreastornesel8404]

Is th power output from the VTXes the same?

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

24:36 You mentioned the 450 mAh battery possibly balancing out the added weight of the Walksnail system. From my experience with these quads, comparing both batteries, the 750 actually makes the quad more capable of handling the extra weight. I don't understand how/why, but I swear I felt a difference.

[@yohfpv]

I'm with you on that observation. I think that the bigger battery dishes out more oomph than the smaller one.

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

@@yohfpv 👍👊

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Too bad the Walksnail video failed on that crash. For the flight experience, I vote for the analog. 👍 Very little prop wash and just a lot of fun.

[@DannyFPV7]

Nice to see you fly again. Love the track too. Your vibe is dope, J.

[@jsunshine2964]

That shirt is absolute fire my friend.

[@brianfreland9065]

Do that Punchout with the 450 and you'll see a massive improvement. The 450 is intended for the freestyle flight and the 720 is meant for longer flights with the dead cat or cruiser version

[@brianfreland9065]

The 450mah is intended for the freestyle or "fr16" model and the 750 is meant for the exploring of the dead cat model. Lighter for freestyle fr16 and longer flight for exploratory DC16

[@BadRavenFPV]

The quad's superb. HOWEVER If you have also bought the Flywoo 6 way HV charger, I advise you to check the voltage it charges batteries to and report please?

[@dvalentine08]

How does the noise level compare with something like a Mobula6? Looking for something I can freestyle without disturbing the neighbors (too much).

[@mikeb1596]

You should look into a 1s 3 inch toothpick build. I have one that's very light, quiet, and flies incredible

[@mikerich32]

Another option (and my favorite for micros) is 2S 2inch. They are so much fun for something so small!

[@dvalentine08]

Thanks for the guidance, I really appreciate it @mikerich32!

[@ktkt1825]

I have a Happymodel Crux 3 toothpick (1S) that is wonderful- this may freestyle a bit better, but i like the quiet and fast.

[@dvalentine08]

Update: I bought one and it’s comparable to my mobula 6 noise wise maybe even quieter, but way more fun to fly. I found the quad blades to be quieter than the tri blades.

[@marshgramcraker2790]

Im a beginner to fpv so sorry if these questions are dumb but, what goggles would i need for the analog version. Also, would i be able to use a radiomaster pocket with said goggles and drone? Any advice would be appreciated.

[@aqua_sakura5021]

In the future, ask questions on fpv subreddit. Ev800d is a good beginner goggle. Rm pocket is decent but small. Make sure the radio link on your drone and your radio is ELRS. Go to Joshua bardwell’s guide on ELRS

[@sakfpv8444]

Man, im still flying my iflight turbobee120rs 2.5" 2s. I love tiny drones. They just have a much greater smiles per dollar. Ive never bought a BNF or PNP drone except the newer mobula7 1s elrs (with the x12 board and 1.5mm motor shafts), and holy smokes, ive been flying a 95 mustang while all yall are flying a finely tuned miata. I desperatley need to get one of these flywoos, open up a front window and my back door and just rip around and through the house.

[@DoctorrMetal]

Nice video and comparison, but Bardwell! Did you compare 25mW HDZero to 1W (or auto mode) on Walksnail and something other on analogue?

[@EnglishTurbines]

Nope, breakup is what HD zero does best....😳😏😏

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Every time I show one video system doing worse than another, the fans come out of the woodwork to invent things I might have done wrong, that would bias the result. I'm over it.

[@DoctorrMetal]

@@JoshuaBardwell I'm not trying to create drama or anything, it's just because it's says 25mW on the OSD, but the range seem pretty alright. I know that this test is not meant as a range/penetration test

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@DoctorrMetal As the breakup gets really bad on HD zero, you can see it's VTX auto ramping up the RF power, to I think I saw 250mw. Makes no difference though because HD zero does not have encoded video like Walksnail. This is the price you pay for ultra low latency on HD zero. The two systems work differently....The Walksnail lite VTX is limited to 350 mw maximum....🤔😳😳🇬🇧

[@metalfpv]

@@EnglishTurbines pretty sure this is the ELRS power, I've never heard of auto power level on HDzero which makes sense as it is a one direction link so the VTX can't know that the signal is getting bad to your RX

[@rcpete7055]

I'm still running the kakute F4 😂 it's awesome.. you did a good job there 👍

[@donphobos]

Is this camera (the analogue) similar to the "good" Runcam Nano 3, which had the "good" lens? As I remember that one has been NTSC only, so this is not the same camera sensor probably (being able to do both PAL and NTSC). The picture looks pretty nice on it.....

[@QuantumKatmusic]

Got a lovely property there friend, great footage too, I need to work with fps tinywhooping again. I just started doing fps and I'm so used to looking down at a controller it throws me off lol

bro if its that cheap for you can you buy me a digital goggle so i can start in that hobby?

[@marianiancu990]

That's such a nice design for a tiny quad. I have a question, and i would like to have an answer because i've search a lot but no results. Can I mount other vtx, for example Caddx 4k Loris with it's camera? Thank you! Keep up the good work.

[@dima_nesterov17]

Hello JB, will there be a review on mobula 8?

[@BadRavenFPV]

Just received my HDZ version. The TPU 3D print battery holder(s, there's a same size spare) provided are too small to fit GNB 720, GNB 660, and the GNB 530 will force fit only with difficulty and ANY swelling or dimension variation and they will not. Freestyle "X" , but supplied 4 blades, not as Fywoo advised you JB.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I was able to get GNB 450 in.

[@BadRavenFPV]

I printed my own holder, so now fits 530-750 well no issues

[@vladoportos]

Where do you mount Flight ID brick ? :D

[@DanZfpv]

That T Shirt is SICK!

[@RyanQuellet]

Other difference from the 2in version test was hdzero vrx instead of hdzero goggle. The goggle makes 60fps flying more responsive than vrx. I think I will pick this drone up, looks really fun

im new to fpv drones and what is the best headset for it on a budget tho

[@1Samuel1524]

I got mine a couple days ago. The thing flys great even with the 750 mah. I had to move the RX antenna so the battery would fit better. On the elrs. By the way, my new hota s6 arrived and this none works fine. Learned the same lesson again about eBay.

[@ufochannel01]

so really nice flying great video! i been looking for a 2s quad that does great trick and flys well and gets really good time. that is the most important thing to me is time in the air right? i think none of want to land so what one is best for a guy like me? no prop guards lol.

[@MrPablo1996]

Hello! (It's my first drone) I just bought this drone from flywoo, I also bought the generic "DMKR 008PRO" ones and I was flying it today. The signal from the glasses wasn't the best, I'd like to know if it's the drone or just the glasses. The first two batteries were working perfectly, on the third battery it was impossible to fly. I was afraid that the drone was overheating or the glasses were very bad. Do you have any idea what could be happening? Could you recommend another analog goggles that I could buy?

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

So with Walknail system, you need their fpv goggles right? Theres no way to adapt other goggles with a HDMI input or module bay maybe.. Also im assuming HDZero is the same, as in you need their goggles or something simliliary priced to use with other fpv goggles..? Also is the HDZero just newest model Fatshark goggle out right now or are they seperate things? Because i always see Fatshark analog module bay size and connection seems to be the standard for that kind of stuff, or even in a 3d printed little enclosure setup.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Walksnail and hdzero both make a standalone receiver that outputs hdmi 5o any goggle with an HDMI input.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I just never got around to it, but no it's good too.

[@andrewdecavia7553]

How does this compare to the baby tooth? Was looking at building one of those kits but they haven’t been available since I came across the option after watching your video.

[@hornedreaper33]

I have been flying 75 mm and a Babytooth outside. I guess, it kind of depends on your space but in my tiny garden and fairly enclosed space the 75 mm (mobula 7) is way more usable. Babytooth is a lot of fun but when I changed it from analogue to HDZero the extra power draw with the 1303 motors mean the voltage sag is a bit much. I went through a weight saving exercise with it and eventually got it down to 36.3 g, but it never performed as well as it did on analogue. Another point is the Babytooth is a lot of fun in a bigger space, while I can fly it in my small garden, it's a lot more tricky. It also has a lot more surface area for the weight so, it gets affected by the wind more than something smaller. For 3" I'm flying a 3s Tiny Trainer now. While I have to go and find a place to fly it, I can't just fly it out of my garden, it's sooooo much more fun than the Babytooth. I'm pretty excited to try one of these Flywoo Nano's, I think it's gonna hit a sweet spot. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions about the Babytooth. The FPV Cycle FB page is also really helpful.

[@andrewdecavia7553]

@@hornedreaper33 we’re doing the ciotti ultimate build with both our Mob6’s and gym basher build with the two Mob7’s. So been trying to figure out what would give us a different flying experience, but keep us under 250g. We may diverge and the daughter goes with a Flywoo Explorer 4 v2 next and I go with a Cinelog20 next. But I’ve been wondering if trying a toothpick in between might be more variety or too similar in performance to our other builds. Haven’t gotten all the upgrades in but we’ve got a large area surrounded by trees up in the Sierra. So the Mob7 has a nice wind break to be outside. Figured both the Cinelog20 and Explorer 4 v2 could clear the tree line and fly out further. But the babytooth could also rip around more in this outside tree cover.

[@LeVsTerFpv]

It breaks the a30 plug on the drone after a while. Cut the gummi part. The bt2.0 batteries are pushing on the gummi part and it start to bend your connection and you will get loose conection. Sry for my english
