Emax Hawk Apex 5 HDZero // Yes I got It VERY WRONG

[@MittensFPV]

This is actually nuts Nick! The fact that you can fly this Apex 5” in your backyard with decent success is saying a lot! Lightweight allows control like no other. Full sized full weight quads would have quite the difficult time doing the same thing.

[@FlyturboKwad]

Too much for backyard for sure, that's the 5 inch version! Good job keeping it under control in such a tight space.... oufff

[@nolandfpv]

I just bought a set of these Emax Eco II 2004 3000KV motors. Can't wait to get them delivered and soldered up. They're cheap but their data sheet out-performs every other motor in this size. Great flying. Thanks for the heads up.

[@ShinyVideoStuff]

Looks huge for a 3.5", sure that isn't the 5"?

[@wingsounds13]

Yeah, that's what I kept thinking - that thing looks HUGE for a 3.5". Sure enough, it's the 5" even though Nick keeps calling it 3.5". On the other hand, Nick blasting around the back yard with a 5" quad is impressive! :)

Seriously!!! Per Albert Kim, I think he said it was actually a 3.6" Prop, I never new 0.1" can look so huge!!!! lol

You know what BotG? it’s not only the HDzero, I feel even the analog videos Mr. Nick posts are as good as HD. I don’t know how he’s able to get such crisp dvr recordings! and he uses the Orqa FPV One if I’m not wrong.

[@TheVeganarchism]

What’s equally amazing is that he was on 25mW the whole time.

[@burnit5480]

Great review as always, great to see some hdzero bnf coming out. The putty in the motors is just some epoxy to protect and hold the windings in place. Not a totally uncommon thing for manufacturers to do, especially on larger motors. Usually clear epoxy so you don't notice it.

[@johncarold]

Hi Nick. I have been enjoying flying different size quads for awhile. And 3.5in quads are fun , I built 3, and I like flying them. But I don't fly them in tight spots like you did. Yes a crash video. LOL I guess I'm not going to be able to purchase it, I'm still analog. Building one is my only way to get one. Now for the price tag, $430 for a quad is outrageous.! Thanks again for the video and information.

[@jaechoe]

not a bad addition to the EMAX line. Things I have heard about the use case for this drone is for racing with a lighter weight quad = less breakage since it is lighter (less mass during impact), or as your first race quad, per Jon E5, makes sense.

[@staltus]

I am wondering if they made it so light due to FAA regs starting next month which says anything manufactured has to be remote id compliant or not require registration.

[@danielmccullock1249]

Great review Nick! In regards to racing, there is a trend for light weight racing quads that can keep up with the 6s beasts. There are a bunch of us flying Ultralite 5" racers that come in around the same weight as this 3".

Amazing that you're not required to have a fence around your pool! As for this quad being suitable for racing - it really needs some sort of fin for turtle mode. And the prop mounting style isn't great for quick prop changes between races. To me this just looks like a fun quad to rip around the park. Thanks for the review Nick!

We have the fence around the yard, right now a section is missing, but that will be going up shortly. Insurance rate was decreased due to us opting for the "auto cover".

Is there a reason it's set up props in? Seems a bit of an odd choice in 2022.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I can't say emax noted why they configured for props in. My self don't feel a difference, there could be a flight advantage I just don't notice it. The non flight advantage of props out is to potentially "kick" a branch or something headed towards the camera "out", and keeping grass or other debris from getting on the camera.

Hey Nick, have you thought about planting something where the swing set used to be? Maybe an evergreen tree or bush so it will keep it's leaves so they don't go in the pool. Evergreens are great! Will give you something nice to look at in the winter and spring, other than bare branches. Are people racing these in countries that require under 250g? Hmmm, I don't get this quad?! Using those skinny batteries isn't the best, that's for sure! They kinda such when compared to the fat square ones. I love my Babyhawk 2 HD. It comes in at 141g with the Caddx Vista inside and the Nebula Pro. Again at nearly 185g, I don't get this quad? Awful small lipo needed to stay under 250g. Hmmm.... Oh well, at least it's a 3.5" or larger, so it doesn't use those proprietary parts that their smaller quads they make use. I won't buy those. Even the motors have an oddball mounting pattern. 👎 I love how the Emax Babyhawk 2 HD is fast, probably not this fast, but it does weigh about 44g less. It also freestyles great, and can fly long range flights of over 20 minutes with a li-ion battery! It really will designed and seems to have more off a definite place than this puzzling quad. This one's kinda spendy too! Again, I don't get this quad....oh well. 🤷😎🤘

I mean Geez Louise is one of my long time sayings for really as long as I can even remember... so "Geez Louise, everyone is a critic" Lately I have been feeling more and more tired of controversy, the politics that we live with are pathetic, then there is Remote ID that in its worst form could really threaten a simple hobby for all of us, I mean "Geeze Louise don't we all work hard enough all week, so why don't you take away our fun time..." And of course the "which digital system should I get... We are all quite fortunate to have so much awesomeness available to us, may not be cheap but it is likely affordable for most people even if one has to save up for a little while. And watching you fly this drone around your "track" - WOW, it is so much faster, or at least my uneducated eye is telling me that it is so much faster. It was fun to watch though and it is inspiring! I for one think that this is a really big step forward for EMax, a company that a few years ago seemed to be a "bargain brand" but this seems very much like a solid mid tier product. The price, yea, hard to say but let's say that inflation has had an impact here, is the price where i should be - I am not sure, I am inclined to say no but I do not think it is a rip off either, I am not fully up on pricing as the last quad I bought was earlier this year but $400+ is a decent chunk of change. It is a very nice looking package and if HD Zero is your thing then this quad looks like a winner. I really have to say i am loving how much cleaner wiring is getting with integrated boards, etc... And by the way, your property looks very nice! May I ask 2 things - what state do you live in and what do you do for your day job... I live in IL and i am very tired of the ridiculously high taxes although if not for that I would love it here. Anyway thanks for all you do Nick, I really look forward to your videos!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

lol, that "geez Louise" was me when I was flying, vs my video narration over the top. While I don't do live narrations of my flights (I often put 30+ flight before review), sometimes my "live" responses make it into the videos. Those thoughts at the end are supposed to be chopped off but the narrator in me got to long winded and didn't wrap the final thought up. I agree the time we are living in is very extreme, it feels like only the extremes get attention and that attention is often extreme as well. The extremes breads more extremes. I like to keep my location private, I have had few people that have been scary persistent in wanting to come to my house. Something I never thought of when I started making videos. I will say I am about 8 hours nearly due south of you. Most everything is likely cheaper here as its largely rural America. I have been working in IT all of my professional life. Stumbled into IT after college, went back to school to get my CIS degree in my early 30s. I was never a great student, but pretty decent at figuring stuff out, I think that is why I have stayed with IT work. Really right now is probably my retirement job, the least technical job I think I may have ever had. Weird how things go. I spent a year in a large metro area in 1999 (Y2K scare time). While it was a great time to be in IT ($$), I found a big city didn't suit me, so I moved to a much smaller "town" very close to where most of my family had migrated to years ago. Most of my adult life I have had second jobs, not to stuff the bank account but rather something to fill my time with and generally things I enjoyed. I am pretty fiscally conservative, don't need much to keep me happy and fulfilled. It has worked out well as I hope to retire before all the kids are off to college. I want to go bother them in college as much as I can :) Our backyard is coming along very nicely. We will be done with this years projects in the next week or two. We need to replace the fence and build something to cover the pool equipment, but that can wait.

In my opinion Emax prices are always kind of high for what they are. I have not had great luck with Emax quality or durability. I have had bad quads right out of the box. Don’t buy from their web sight. If you do they will ask you to return it for repairs as opposed to sending you a new quad. They will also try to blame you for the failure. That being said the BabyHawk 2 HD is in my top 3 of all time (once I got the bugs worked out). However that battery lead location is a problem. It flies like a dream though. Emax does a good job on the tune for that drone and I never changed a thing except the rates. I like to fly slow and cruise around and get good video and that drone will fly for 10 minutes on an 850 and carry a Naked cam no problem at all.

The best support I have ever had from a drone company was my very first drone and it was a Holy Stone $49 Amazon special. I quickly bought several more Holy Stone products and although their products were generally less than stellar they were always very helpful and would send you a new drone if you even mentioned sending it back to Amazon. They don't do FPV as far as I know, but in general they are overpriced and the quality is questionable, but the customer service is outstanding!!

@@Nine_883 Interesting. I am familiar with HolyStone, they send me emails pretty regularly to review their products.

[@Poundy]

doin' the flight! :)

[@jorgeguillen6806]

But no sound

[@jorgeguillen6806]

Why?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

None of them have sound included in the dvr, the fligh audio in my videos is from a secondary camera sitting near me brought into the video via editing.

[@jorgeguillen6806]

I have the same drone

[@pirateradioFPV]

I can only count to 4" 😂

[@scu-dub]

I can't wait for the HD zero gogs to come out lol 😁 then alot of these quads with hd zero will start looking more tempting especially at that price point😳 great rip and review nick🤌🏾✌🏾

[@frankenfpv1802]

3.5???? My Crux 35 is 3.5. Pretty sure that's what you call a 5 inch brother.

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Too big, too fast for your space. Why on earth did they send you it!! Anyway.... appreciate your comments and experience with it.

[@nyclassic4ever130]

Lol

[@johnkurpiewski3996]

At what point did you realize that your holding a 5” 🤔 this 3.5” is quite large. It’s ok I still love your videos.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

After I read a few comments and got home to hold it again.

[@TouYubeTom]

no worries, just a glitch.

[@2r2]

Haha. Like a BOSS!!!!

[@nyclassic4ever130]

Emax, that's nice but on the pricey side......relax!

[@imager09tube]

Too loud! No for me!
