I have learned that I prefer the 75mm whoops. My TinyHawk II was my first drone and find I enjoy flying it more than my Mobula6. I wish the other drone companies would due like Emax and use rubber bands to hold the batteries. It makes it much easier to try all sizes of batteries.

I've been telling anyone who would listen that 75mm whoops are perfect for beginners or people looking for a fly anywhere quad that's durable, but until now there hasn't been a good BNF in that space that delivered on everything that size can do. The 1.5mm motor shafts solves once of the biggest problems people have at that size, and the 12a ESC will hopefully lead to more durability too. Thanks for the review as always.

[@jeffames2880]

Dont get too excited. These Mobula7's are cheap crap! I have been thru three of them so far and all three FC have gone out before 10 flights and one of them was DOA.

[@JoryFPV]

@@jeffames2880 I ordered one and it had problems out of the box. I haven't bothered getting another. With HappyModel it's usually best to wait for the second or third revision. I made an exception because I was excited about the product. That sucks you had so much trouble. I really wish there was a reliable ELRS whoop out there for people.

[@DonJohnsonFPV]

Hi Nick, Nice you appreciate the V4 frame, I do my best for them to make logical ducts design this type, I'm just sad they didn't rotate the motor mount 60 degres as I asked, and also they make the battery tray this low (unfortunately only way to fit all their different connector layout). Bigger battery fit, 450 530 cells are the widest of the 1S. I doesn't agreed on cam being better lately... nothing new since Ant and pico razer, and nano 3 is clearly worst than what it's been. And be warned builder, Runcan will remove the mounting holes so no way to mount it on mobula 6 canopy (Happymodel will still provide cam with holes 🤔) Caddx beetle and akk k19c weren't bad at all 3 years back. And like you said great setup but nothing new beside range compared to 2 to 3 years old setup... and 3 years asking to happymodel to release one 😢 See ya !

[@chrisbee5481]

Nice ideas for improvements. Its not just ELRS thats new tough. Okay you could take an "older moblite7 and add an elrs receiver only adding 0.5g more. Its the 12A ESC"s that are a big step forward and UFL antenna plugs and more Power output on the VTX. Only time and testing will tell if it holds up but these are many improvements

[@fipen2852]

[@DonJohnsonFPV]

@@chrisbee5481 Yes, ELRS, UFL, 12A... 1.5mm shaft but still brass bushing... And 24g with one of the most terrible whoop cam ever produced... ridiculous/cheap choice on a whoop with ELRS and 400mw. Yes you can change it, and pass the 25g limit, and what happen when you pass this limit on a 75mm whoop ? washout are back !!! yes triblade can improve that, but it's now 26g, have lost tons on power, agility and flight time... 👌 Once again this is what you can do since 2019 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eobGeYqul8akrLc

[@drunkskunk00]

Awesome! A few years ago I took my first Mob 6, stuck it in a 7 frame, and had what I thought was the best Flying whoop ever. I'd wondered why Happymodel never made a 1s Mob7, as it seemed to be a popular conversion. Sadly, i no longer have that drone, but have thought of replacing it from time to time. Now with the announcement of the HDzero 1s VTX, I've been thinking about building another, and then I see this! I think it's time for a new drone.

[@brianfreland9065]

Yep! I have one version of the mob6-7 conversion. Heads from infinity loops swears by them (it's his go to build) and I was lucky enough to have him help me out with it! We took the moblite6 guts and motors and put it on the mobula7 v2 frame with a newbeedrone canopy and added the ELRS EP2 receiver. He named it the "Mobthicc" and it's still the most fun and best flying whoop I've had! He has a video that's dedicated to this build on the infinity loops page! Check it out, totally worth the few mins!

I did the same swap mob6 to mob7 frame, just updating to elrs so really I must have to purchase this one, almost cheaper than my own build. Just need new lipos.

[@flipfpv]

A couple of things you can do for the loose-fitting batteries is to either wrap a rubber band around the pack a couple of times lengthwise to make them thicker, or heat up those bottom cross braces on the battery tray and push them in to deform them so they're concave.

[@flydayone_svalher]

Thank you for this great review! I ordered it as soon as you asked for "questions, suggestions, otherwise". Today it arrived! The frame is very promising with the thicker supports orientated vertical instead of horizontal. The new motors with 20000 KV as well! The whole whoop is a blast! You were NOT exaggerating! The only points about the whoop that could be improved out of my pov: Secure the antenna: why no manufacturer does it? Other battery connector (personally I am on BT2.0 for 1s) Finally a comment to the 1.5mm motor shaft. I really like it and already have it on most of my whoops. But the choice was very limited! The only once I could get are the URUAV branded EX0802 with 19000KV (spares or used on the UZ80). Really nice that there is now another and even higher KV choice! P.S.: Nick Burns 🔥 = best drone channel

[@neojeets]

Nice whoop and nice review, Nick. In my experience, my Rapidfire module always results in an overall washed out and muddier picture, no matter what camera I’m using. My much older True-D module has a much sharper/higher contrast picture quality, but I stick with Rapidfire because it has better reception in most situations. Still rocking the old HDO goggles btw.

[@jaysonrees738]

That little stinker flies on par with my 2S Mobula 7, but with around 20g less weight. I'm really considering grabbing one alongside a bunch of 1S batteries.

[@lucafortarezza4174]

Hi Nick I am really very excited for the release of this new drone! On my moblite7 I have already mounted an elrs ep2 receiver so I don't know if I should buy this last version. However, for small batteries, I solved the problem by using small bands. You can use them both all around the canopy and either just put them on the lipo to add grip and thickness.

[@Romanian_Productions]

I have it for about one month now and YES, is the best whoop I had. Its very durable( feels like indestructible) , a joy to fly and good price for what you get in specially the parallel charging board for 1s batteries.. Better then Emax whoops out there.

[@nothanks611]

I know this video is old, but the mob7 update is still getting better, first thing to do is swap from bi blades to HQ tri blades. The charging board comes with spots for bt2.0 connectors now that you solder on yourself, and i figured out that the tattu rline 500mah batteries will fit into this frame if you heat the battery holder part of the frame up with a heat gun (CAREFULLY) then stuff the battery in and let it cool, and seem by far the best battery option for this bird. Love this whoop! building 2.5-3" toothpicks on the PNP version of the FC(im on frsky so im stuffing xm and emax tiny d8s into the builds which perform light years better than frsky SPI) and they are turning out pretty awesome.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Nice. Good current feedback. Thank you

Hey thanks for sharing, which tri blades are you using please? Just received my mobula and i have to say i'm impressed with this little thing it handles like its on rails and has plenty of punch. I'm using 550Mah bonka lipos and they fit perfectly no need to heat up battery tray

[@MaxSMoke777]

I think your logic might be off, Mr.Burns. If the Skyzone goes down first, that means the Skyzone is closer to real-time, not further behind. The first one to go out is the one that is in better sync. The Orqa is just so far behind they don't even realize there even was a failure until a few milliseconds later.

[@hultaelit]

You can't determine which DVR is off only by which one cuts out first in a crash, one may have missed frames making the recording shorter (which is the most likely), or the other one could have inserted duplicate frames. But he says twice in the video that he compares the DVR to audio from a different camera, and the Skyzone DVR cuts out BEFORE the audio registers the crash. So since the Orqa DVR agrees with the separate audio stream and the Skyzone doesn't, the Skyzone must be dropping frames.

[@FastSloW-qt8xf]

Just ordered from rdq this morning. This might be one that is hard to get soon. Till then I will keep enjoying my beta 65 pro.... the 65 pro is amazing in my small space

[@redazu911]

Oh man bought this thing just for the board haha. Wouldn't mind the extra cam either but can't wait to put this in my 1s monster. 40mph top speed, 3-10min flight time landing at 3.7v already, so saving more weight coming from r-xsr and separate vtx should be nice.

[@pdub3rd]

Yes! They finally built what we've have to piecemeal together for the last couple years with some nice touches. I bought the mob6 elrs just to swap the board to a mob7 frame with OG mob6 19,000kv motors (Still have no use for those 27,000kv.) The highlights that would make me consider buying a couple of these are 1; motors that now have the solder pads and a more robust shaft 2; more mw of video power; 3; a littler more headroom on the esc and 4; halleluiah I want that charging board. I know I could get a similar charging board elsewhere but it would probably cost at least $15 alone. That's a nice touch. For how many QC complaints seem to plaque Happy Model, you gotta give it to them for slowly but surely listening to their customers wants and constantly innovating and improving. Almost every HM quad that was awesome, I bought 2 of them and then more parts to modify or keep them airworthy. Exciting times we're living in. Except for the chip shortage and delivery chain disruption.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I also wonder about the QC complaints vs no QC complaints. Their products have been very popular, some use their parts over and over, someone else uses one part, it dies and its the worst company in fpv. Bad news makes new good news doesn't. I think their are improvements they can make but I am not sure they are willing or have the resources.

[@pdub3rd]

@@NickBurnsFPV Yeah it's hard to know if QC is actually much worse than other brands because they're one of the biggest and make huge amounts of their products seemingly overnight. It appears they come out with a new product new name sometimes instead of fixing a problem but they do seem to learn from mistakes and they definitely keep innovating in small increments. I'm a fan for the most part. Except for their lipos. That's where I draw the line.

I love the way you fly indoors Nick, it's what finally convinced me to take off the trainer wheels from angle mode and try to get better at air mode in a confined area (I used to only do it outdoors with plenty of space). It's been a bit painful because I don't like crashing, however I've just come to terms with that being a normal thing, and I gotta tell you, you showing your crash reel does make me feel a heck of a lot better about my own. Fortunately haven't had any damage I've not been able to repair thus far, however given what I've seen from this video, I have a new target for a replacement whoop if it does come to that. Kinda bummed about that power connector, however I think I'll try and convert it to GNB27. Thanks for the great preview. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival now.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yep, I crash a lot when I am reviewing a new product. I want to push it to see what sort of performance it has and thus I crash....often. When I fly casually before bed time or otherwise I fly at a more comfortable speed and my crash frequency comes down.

[@gmascagni]

I dont know if it's justified if you already have a new Mobula 6. I actually found that replacing the old camera and old motors on the new Mobula 6 is a very good option. I dont like the new RC3's as you pointed out and I didnt like the new smaller motors on the M6. I found you need a lot more throttle response for stable flight. But I do like my new/old M6. As always another great vid. Regarding the battery slippage you could put a piece of scotch tape around the battery to make it tighter. If that's too loose you could try a small piece of electrical tape which will be a little thicker.

[@jackjohnson5024]

Try cnhl 1s 450mah batteries - standard voltage (not high voltage). In my experience, they are soooo much better than the gnbs. My almost 2 year old cnhl 1s lipos give equal or better performance than a new gnb 1s HV I bought for testing, and the cnhls are only about a gram heavier. They give longer flight times and much less sag. They also take a ton of abuse, don't even puff up after going down to 2.8v multiple times and still fly and perform perfect. Awesome batteries!

Agree whole heartedly, these things are the most fun! This is almost the same as the my daily winter drivers, but that new board looks abso-frickin-amazing. For indoor flight I have one with the new-ish HQ 40mm tri-blades for a little extra grip in tight spaces, if you have any of those props I’d be curious if you might like them a ton too. You would lose a very small bit of prop control so I would bet bi-blades on it would still be the go to for outdoor flying.

Good release. Glad to finally see this with a flight controller, vtx and ELRS built-in. Personally, I have enough analog whoops so I probably won't pick this particular version up and will sit tight for an HDZero version. Hopefully the final weight for the 1s vtx + camera setup won't affect it too badly.

[@electroddxful]

I just put this one on my buy list. Great review Nick. 🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍

[@ampedfpv]

Top notch review Nick! Maybe it's just me, but it appears to my eye that Rapidfire has a softer image than some other modules. I have a TBS Fusion so I don't have personal experience though. Point being, maybe it's not the Orca DVR, but actually the VRX module thats giving the softer look? Might be interesting to compare the RF VRX in the 04X's. Maybe even try the Skyzone VRX in the Orca's!? (if it fits)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

maybe this spring when I can hang outside more and we have more colors.

[@UAV-AP]

Awsome review! Your not slow at all BTW :)

Great review of impressive little ripper. At a good size that can easily be flown indoors or out. 👍😎

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you, I enjoy it, has been my pre bed habit

[@colinmetzger6755]

Looks like a fantastic toothpick board too, probably going to be great for those 18650 1S builds.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It might be. Myself am not much for the 18650 quads, they don't fit my flight fun all that well.

[@lr7974]

that color issue is because of the rapidfire its been known to cause that unfortunately.

[@Atlas_FPV]

I converted a mob6 to a mob7 frame and it flies way better, now it’s a bnf. Might have to try some biblades as mines on quad blades

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yea tinker with the props to find what you like best

[@NaturebyGus]

I am new to FPV but years of experience with large drones. Several questions: What are those ugly red lines? Interference? Is the video saved locally in the drone too without that ugly video noise? Any way to prevent that? Any whoop with better resolution? Thanks.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

This is analog which is the lowest latency video link in fpv. I am not sure what the red lines are referred to. Analog break up looks much like old static on TVs. The video is not saved locally on this one, most modern micros don't have that ability, for a time manufacturers were making dual function cameras that did record on board video but the image quality was greatly reduced in the goggles and the fov was less. the video is only recorded on the goggle dvr now days.

[@miquelmarti6537]

I miss my moblite7 days. That one was fantastic, quiet and would fly super long even with the oldest batteries, but one ESC fried after some weeks of rippin'. Then I bought a second one and it happened again after 3 days of intensive flying. Sometimes it feels like being scammed. Then I just got this Mobula7-1S quad thanks to your recommendation and because of better the ESCs. Oddly enought I find it underpowered, noisy and neither 450mah nor 650mah batteries won't last longer than 2 minutes in my case (just cruising). I also experienced quite more voltage sag comprared to yours (it goes from 4.1V to 3.5V a few seconds after taking off). Then I flashed the ESCs to Bluejay, but the motors won't spin when I have RPM Filter activated. Why is that? Thank you Nick for all that amazing content about our micro hobby.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Did the mobula7 1s always have the short flight times? the ph2.0 connector can wear down, sometimes they wear down fast other times it takes awhile. Might need to replace the ph2.0 connector on the quad. try to get a solid pin connector like the ones sold at tinywhoop.com What happens if you disable rpm filtering? Is air mode on? Can you spin the motors while plugged into betaflight with the motors page of the betaflight configurator?

[@miquelmarti6537]

@@NickBurnsFPV Hi Nick! Thanks a lot for your response. Yes, the flight times were always short, it's a new unit (from just 3 days ago). Sure, I'll try to change the PH2 connector and see if the voltage sag improves. As a last resort I also thought on soldering the motor wires just like in the moblite. When Rpm Filtering is enabled the motors won't spin even from the Motors tab from Betaflight. Air Mode was ON, as per default. BTW I'm very impressed by the vtx performace on 100mw.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@miquelmarti6537 Its odd that a new quad would have a poor performing ph2.0, but possible I suppose. With the motors not rotating, is the motor protocol set to dshot300? If not set it to dshot300.

[@miquelmarti6537]

@@NickBurnsFPV Yes, it was on dshot300. I later tried to reflash BlueJay firmware (Z H 30 48 v16) and deactivating RPMFilter. When I tested the motors on the betaflight tab....two ESC died.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@miquelmarti6537 oh no. did you see smoke? How did you confirm the escs are dead? Hoping the motors just aren't spinning.

[@AndyDreadFPV]

haven't seen you this excited about a new quad in a while. On the USB stability issues...Try using a powered hub and plug all your things into the hub as a work around.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I use a powered usb hub by default. 🥲

[@timrodriguez1]

Okay, that little booger rips!…lol

[@Shauny_D]

I think the 75mm 1s is what you're so excited about. it is a fantastic format. Seems like they could have improved somethings like weight to make this one even more exciting.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

typically when weight is reduced we also reduce durability. We can drop a gram by using the old v2 frame, but it will certainly break. We can also drop weight going to the mobula 6 canopy but we will have jello in bright sunlight. With the motor redesign we will surely have longer lasting motors at a very modest weight gain, but again we can go back to 1mm shafts and drop weight, but durability also goes down.

[@Shauny_D]

@@NickBurnsFPV yes. I guess they are making this a bnf for the masses to do durability is higher up the food chain for it. Also if you think of this as a pairing to the mobula6 it makes more sense. If I were to build this I'd certainly be trying to cut weight to the 22 range. I'm sceptical on the motors. durability is nice but extra weight right at the shaft on 0802 is a big deal....

[@juggalizzle75]

Thanks for the review. Always looking for good 1s whoops. For your USB issue have you tried to delete your whole USB hub in "device manager"? Then just scan for changes and it will reinstall the drivers. Imess with a lot of development boards and install a lot of board communication drivers and have to do this sometimes. Also, make sure windows has all patches installed through Windows update

[@caujka]

Try good fresh 300 mah batteries :-) I bet you will have that same 4-ish minutes of flight, but the whoop will be a bit lighter and quieter :-) At least, this is my experience with my 75 mm 2-blade 1s build.

Timing on this could have been better, by the time it gets in ill be flying outdoors but maybe perfect for next winter. This might get me back into 1s, btw the charging board is actually a series and this to me is a huge bonus as making my own is a prerequisite for me to go 1s. Not being able to storage charge my 1s is the reason I went 2s and haven't gone back yet. Cheap batteries but tired of killing them. Definitely and interesting one and if we had whoop racing this year id go for it

[@NickBurnsFPV]

depends on where you live. I am getting notice some have theirs already and others with shipping tracking information. Racedayquads.com has stock or should I say did have stock when I last checked earlier today.

[@pksteffen]

Looks good! I have had to cancel my last few Bangers orders. They always ship after US vendors.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I have myself been ordering more off aliexpress rather than banggood. I wonder if they just accept order regardless of stock, and have trouble getting stock. I bet they have to compete for stock now that more of our drone companies are known entities to our fpv shops and are getting more stock to them. My suspension anyways

[@661FPV]

Looks like a great little 1s whoop, a bit heavy for best performance but the 1.5mm shafts will surely provide some amazing durability. This actually looks like a perfect match for a NBD Mosquito build with the 1.5mm shaft, I would never run a 1mm shaft motor on the open prop Mosquito frame, and I have been running the betafpv 1102 18000kv 1.5mm motor on my Mosquito but the Kv is just too low I feel, so this quad looks like it would make a great toothpick build! Hopefully Happymodel will put these parts on a new Crux!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I wonder if the will for this spring micro flight.

[@AndreGomes1987]

your flying is insane

[@Tokyo_Dom]

Can put a rubber band (little brown one, or a hair band) and keep those loose batteries in place.

Hi nick, im upgrading my sky03o. To sky04x for the 60fpv svr and better screen.

And thats still very good. But yeah if you dont wNt to lose any frames just use orcas or powerplay.
