Wizard V2 Without TX: bit.ly/32VfNa8

[@hunterbodell1129]

Joshua bardwell video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpnVZ6Nshbumq5Y

[@AvallonYo]

Literally at the same time Bardwell puts out a video saying avoid this at all times.

[@markcloudchaser874]

Yeah I saw that, I would rather have the Roma, or the Nazgul for an extra 20bar, for sure for my first quad.💯

[@Jephro360]

Good ole Wizard! The original V1 was my very first quad years ago

[@jbizzbuildsmanstuff9932]

The triple OG gangsta quad! V1 was epic V2 was fire literally! Let's see what v3 brings!

[@parker1ray]

I had one of those and on the second flight it burst into flames in the air and crashed to the ground just like the Wizard on lord of the rings. It was hilarious! I do have some Eachine stuff that is quite good, but this was not a good experience. It was an ESC that shorted and caught.

[@ValFPV]

Yes this thing is very low quality and just shitty considering you can get a nazgul5 for a very similar price

[@TailSpinRCSpain]

A new Wizard, cool, but quite expensive these days for what it is.

[@kyle6685]

Would you recommend this drone for video or more just for racing or fun

[@TylerC2413]

Bardwell just trashed this thing. It is hard when the nazgul v2 is only 30 dollars more. Looks much better than the original wizard though.

[@k1ortia]

Wow. the original was what got me into this amazing hobby 4 years ago. I,ll be buying one of these just for the nostalgia fact, Probably just keep it on display.

[@shelby8386]

You mentioned the batteries could be better, what would you suggest on a 4s quad with this weight and 2207 2550kv motors?

[@rgbluke8084]

Hey mate where did you order this from so it comes with transmitter and receiver

[@sparkycorkers1196]

still have my v1. Good way to get started in this hobby. the only eachine I would ever use again

[@KrotowX]

First X220, except stock magenta props who exploded in mid-air, was nice and cheap training quad. Former coworker ripped it for 2 years till lost in bushes. I'm curious about how v2 flies.

[@NathansLife]

I've modified my x220s which comes with the same tx, I put a tbs tracer on the tx and a nano rx on the drone, but built everything into the apex frame. flies amazing. all these videos are on my channel.

[@KLNYC]

Just saw on JB video about this. Not soo good :( Stick with Roma or the Nazgul5

[@minhbao7863]

How much for that complete kit? And where to buy it? Thanks

[@gabelifferth5411]

Still have the original I bought like 5 year ago and passed it down to my son and I got a rotor riot drone. On the wizard I upgrade the camera and put betaflight on it and the rest is original. Gotta say that original is the best bang for your buck.

[@miguelhurtado3873]

It is possible to add a GPS to the Wizard v2?

[@MrFadjule]

I'm glad you actually reviewed this product, I started out on the OG Wizard x220, and though it did have problems, it WAS great to learn on. This one looks similarly ready for a new person to the hobby. Better than the one I had. The split top for easy access/repairs (VERY important, likely gonna be in and out of that bad boy all the time, if it's anything like what I went through), the carbon bumper at the front, the thicker top and bottom plate, nice battery pad, nice antenna mount, nice antenna, much better cam then the original. The arms are narrower, but still sturdy, the frame plates sandwich together using press nuts now, instead of nylocks, saving weight and making disassembly MUCH more straightforward. The motor guard issue is dumb, the tpu skids are the reason you cant get the motor bolts tight enough to keep the motor guards still, and it's just not a viable setup. People will either ditch the skids, add the foam landing pads, and get new motor screws, or they will over tighten the screws in the current config, touch the motor windings with said screws, and have REAL problems with shorts, overheating motors, and some will destroy motors/ESC's like crazy before they sort all that out. That being said, the receiver they ship with has poor range and is easy to failsafe. So there are some obvious improvements to make early on. That's a good thing. New ppl are going to crash and break this SO much, it's cool that they have upgrades to easily add and appreciate as they slog through all their learning mistakes.

[@georgegourzoulidis3489]

hello and thank you for your review! There is a variety of opinions out there for this quad, esc seems unreliable and motor or fc stop functioning after a while. Have you flown the drone for any time long? what was your experience and could you please express your own opinion for the wizard x220 v2 in the long term?

[@kxdmotovlog6898]

Some said that the drone comes with a faulty engine but most said that it comes perfectly and works..If you can tell me please this drone works very well ie the duration, how long it works because some said What did you say? will it work for me ?? 😪😯

[@josephrsalexander4589]

Are those the same ESCs from the original wizard?

[@ashok9568]

[@mikeflightfpv2162]

This brings back those late 2016 summer memories! 😊🔥I like the revamped version with 5mm thick arms. Major plus! The biggest problem i see is that there isn't 8 stand offs only 6, also doesn't have side plates to add top plate strength. That'll become an issue possibility cracking or snapping over time, the original had side plates that would pop out in intense crashes and it helped keep the top plate from snapping. Nonetheless I'd still recommend this to anyone interested in getting into FPV.. Solid 8 out of 10 IMHO..

[@noforyoutubepremium3108]

No way! Ultra low quality parts used in Eachine products fail much more often and aren't parts you want to reuse on new builds when you crash this and bust it up. It's disposable! The parts are not something worth using in another build. Plus, if you do want to attempt to keep this in the air it costs you a lot more than a quality product does because these cheap parts fail and break so much easier. I've found, from buying this junk, that it costs more to keep this in the air for a year than it does a quality brand quad, because of all the repairs these junk brand quads need vs. the quality brands! 🤔👍

[@mikeflightfpv2162]

@@noforyoutubepremium3108 Sure, from an established hobbyist standpoint of view, that may be the case. But, for a beginner's perspective, I GREATLY disagree. Myself and 4 others all started with this set up, sure there's alot that can be better. But anyone can say that about anything. 🤣😂

[@noforyoutubepremium3108]

@@mikeflightfpv2162 Bottom of the line parts = fails more & breaks more = costs a lot more than the original price tag = probably double in two years! + once it's toast and you're sick of repairing it, those parts aren't what you'd want to use for another build. Too poor quality, so you dispose of the whole quad! Quality quad = breaks less, fails less = costs less than Eachine junk over a 1 or 2 year period. + parts are good quality = you can reuse them in a new build sometime! = A BETTER OVERALL VALUE! + CHEAPER IN THE LONG RUN! =(;^)- ...I've actually done all of the above = I know these things for a FACT.

nice looking kwad bro! arris has the "explorer220" pnp model at 169 i think...has sweet components in it as well... i have the eachine novice2 model...sweet flyer! hangs with the emax t/h freestyle model! running same prop/battery combo...

[@rybar4023]

Can't wait to see you fly it. Curious if it got a bit better then the original. I see the same lipo charger as the old one, looks the same? And the nice high quality lipo from Eachine 🤣🤣😉. JB's wizard was DOA so that's why he says it's crap. And yah there are better quads for the money nowadays but with the wizard you have to learn to repair and fix it because something is gone break for sure 😜😂😂😂😂😂. Thanks Sam 🍻✌🏽.

[@loizosnikolaou2864]

I still have the original x220 and love it! It tought me so many things.

[@staticfpv881]

Mostly how to build and replace parts 😂

[@NathansLife]

that flysky rx is pretty bad in my opinion, failsafe at like 80m, so i replaced it with a tracer nano rx and modified the Controller and put a tracer tx on it which flies amazing.

[@lightpolebluelamaa4207]

What scares me about these 'beginner'' set ups is the LIPO batteries that come with them. Too many people buy these as gifts and the batteries are mishandled which as many of us know can be disastrous

[@kapilyadav8226]

Nice package & information 👍

[@aakashjana6225]

I want to see how this quad holds up in a bando the arms look beefy. The frame should hold up pretty well ig the big thing is to see the tune that comes out of the box as a beginner a whole lot of propwash and oscillations would make this a poor buy.

[@ValFPV]

Dude don't get this, the components on this (especially the motors and escs) are really low quality and just straight up bad. Get a nazgul5 for basically the same price, WAAAAY better quad

[@burned_esc]

man you're like a Chernobyl disaster, this is not worth even 99 quid :P

[@noforyoutubepremium3108]

Wow! A PDB and ESC's on the arms! Did I just go through a time travel portal back to 2016? Most will think this seems like a good way to start, but 5" are so highly overrated, except for back in 2016, and before. Back then, there wasn't small, miniaturized gear to be able to make smaller quads, so everyone built and flew 5", because that's the smallest size we had. No way I'd start flying with a 5" now because they are so heavy that every hard crash has the potential of breaking your quad. Since who0ps to 3" are so much lighter, when they crash they do less damage to themselves on impact! So, I suggest new people to the hobby start flying smaller, lighter quads. I loved getting much improved flying in acro mode (fully manual) with a who0p. No damage when it crashed, and beginners crash constantly, and easy to fly anywhere... even inside your house! That's important, because you need the stick time to get muscle memory going with operating the sticks. You also have to have a lot of room to fly a 5", and the noise attracts a lot of attention from neighbors, etc. The smaller the quad the less noise it typically makes. Not a fan of Eachine because they always use the cheapest, low quality parts possible and that always results in having to replace boards, motors, etc. This makes the overall cost of flying Eachine quads high because of all the repair costs typically needed to keep this in the air for a year or two. I learned this through experience flying these low end quads and now know to avoid them. They end up costing more over a year or two than the top name brand quads that use quality parts, because those simply don't break nearly as often. Anyway, learn the hard way and buy this stuff, or learn from my experience buying this low end gear... Your choice! Just trying to save you some cash, and make the hobby easier for you right out of the gate! 😎🤘 PS Plus, if you buy the better quality gear and it does break or when you get more experienced and you want to rebuild it or swap parts to something else, you can use the quality parts from a name brand quad, where you won't want to do that with these parts. You'll understand that more once you become a seasoned veteran in the FPV hobby. Quality parts = good... reuse them on another project, cheap junk parts = garbage. 😉

[@audiogek]

5" are still my favorite, with separate esc's on the arms. The 4in1's just keep dying and have to trow away an esc which is basically only 25% dead. And anything smaller than 5" just doesn't fly like I want it to fly. But I totally agree on buying cheap or expensive stuff. Just build yourself one with quality parts that have proven durability.
