PAVO20 PRO VS. PAVO20 | Is this new FPV whoop drone by

[@AMS_Dronez]

Really disappointed in this review :( Why wouldn't you show some more potential the Pavo20 Pro has? Can easily handle split S, juicy flicks, fly upwards to 30 MPH.. I mean, the Pavo20 Pro is fun AF. ☹

[@TheDroneGeek]

We don’t know what a “juicy flick” is, but we’d prefer you keep your bedroom habits to yourself on this channel.

[@AMS_Dronez]

​@@TheDroneGeek A defensive reply says a lot about someone. While everyone likes praise and 'good jobs,' the tone and attitude of their response can be a real indicator of their character. Hope it didn't spoil your day, sorry mate.

[@FarhatAbbas-z6m]

nice review dude ! btw do you feel that the XT30 cable in the Pavo20 Pro is shorter than the Pavo20 ?

[@TheDroneGeek]

YES. It’s incredibly annoying. Luckily I have standard 3S lipos that have oddly long power leads so it kind of makes it bearable, but with the Lava batteries they sent it’s a gigantic pain in the ass.

[@AjaySingh-228]

I'm really impressed with the Pavo 20 Pro. It's so much more powerful than the Pavo 20. haha the audio separation is super cool bro

[@drone_angles]

Great video and looks like a lot of fun!!! Can I use my goggles 3 to fly this Pavo 20 pro? What about a controller? Do I need a certain controller? Sorry I don’t know anything about fpv!

[@SamKarpFPV]

Hey, I'm not Chris but the other tall guy in the video. The Goggles 3 are technically compatible with the 03 air unit onboard both the Pavo 20 and Pavo 20 pro. However there's a bug in the current firmware where the Goggles 3 randomly loses connection with the 03 air unit. So I would hold off using the goggles 3 with anything other than the Avata 2 until DJI patches that issue. As far as a controller you should be able to bind the DJI FPV controller 2 and 3 directly to the 03 air unit. Or BetaFPV also has the option for either crossfire or express LRS. So you can use practically any FPV controller you'd like! Lmk if you have any other questions!

[@brandon9689]

You can use goggles 3, But you really want to do your FPV research before ordering something like this. They do not come ready to fly out of the box. You need to buy and install a DJI 03 Air unit. It does not come included with the drone. You also need to bind and assign controller buttons in BetaFlight. It doesn't come with batteries or a charger. You'll want to get familiar with the safe handling, charging and storage of lithium polymer batteries.

[@TheDroneGeek]

I fully endorse both answers from Sam and Brandon. Couldn't have given you any better feedback myself. To give you an idea of how much different the world of FPV is than a RTF drone like those sold by DJI, please see the link below that outlines setting up the Pavo Pico to fly with the DJI FPV peripherals (goggles 2 and fpv controller 2). This is just a taste of the kind of configuration you need to be prepared for when getting into FPV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXSZhJp7rd-Kac0si=_e6R9Wkrfp9HvC6Z

[@drone_angles]

@@SamKarpFPV Thanks for the info! I actually just got the goggles to try them with my mini 4pro, it’s ok, nice in a lot of sunlight, but I think I will return them and just get the Avanta2 combo, then once firmware is updated, I can try these other smaller fpv drone. Appreciate your help!

[@TheDroneGeek]

@@drone_angles be advised that these drones do NOT fly like DJI GPS drones or even the Avata in that they do not have altitude hold. You will be fully responsible for keeping drones like these airborne! All it takes to get used to it is practice, but be prepared for a steep learning curve.

[@SteadyeddieFPV]

Is your Pavo20 still on the bi-blade props? I’m running mine on Gemfan Hurricane 2023-3 tri-blades and it’s a whole different feel.

[@TheDroneGeek]

We're running similar props on the Pavo20. Yes, the tri-blades do give it an entirely different feel while flying compared to the bi-blades! I prefer the Pavo20 on the tri-blades overall. Makes it a more versatile flyer.

[@betaodrone]

Hello friend, what is the difference between the Pavo 20 Pro and the Pavo 20?

[@AMS_Dronez]

A little bit of everything Betao! Motors, propellers, 2.2-inch tri-blades, thicker carbon fiber frame, and better canopy.

[@polyhedron3409]

I'm sorry, I couldn't finish the video because of the audio mixing. Having the left guy coming in on the right channel and the right on the left was terrible. Needed to have everything on both channels to be watchable.

[@TheDroneGeek]

You that soft, huh?

[@polyhedron3409]

​@TheDroneGeek that's a pretty terrible way to respond to freeback about your channel. I'm new to this hobby and looking to get my first fpv drone soon, is this the attitude I should expect from the community? Looks like I'll be avoiding your channel altogether. FYI, a lot of people wear headphones on PC and I'm partially deaf in my right ear.

[@zarcha]

Would an Avatar HD system fit on this?

[@TheDroneGeek]

That’s a great question. The drone itself seems to come with a carbon fiber cross section plate that I believe you could use to mount the Avatar. I’ll dig into this and let you know what I find.

[@zarcha]

@@TheDroneGeek I ended up stumbling across a listing for the drone for the Avatar HD pro, most of the listing shows just the 03. Might pick it up but I need a ELRS TX as I still prefer my spektrum dx8 for other quads

[@dondupuis4007]

Hey my grandson loves the LEDs😊

[@TheDroneGeek]

Your grandson is pretty awesome in our opinion.

[@GR33ZY.A1]

Will motors able to take 4s? Im thinking of swapping fc to a 4s

[@rubberonasphalt]

As long as your 4S FC can handle the amp draw, you should be fine

[@thatramenguy3395]

I know you recorded your audio in left and right stereo to separate the two mics but but you can put them back in mono when you edit…….. that was very annoying having them in different ears

[@TheDroneGeek]

It’ll be alright. ❤️💋

[@geriderleri]

nice review! BUT PLS MONO CHANNEL THE AUDIO 😫

[@TheDroneGeek]

You’ll be okay. ❤️

[@scooteracers]

Whats the best charger for these 3S XT30 batteries? I like the small portable ones they have for the 2S batteries like the ViFly ToothStor4. Is there anything like that for these? It would be nice to have USB C input and be able to use the battery banks I already have to power the charger or charging board. Most of the ones I see are designed to work with a big lipo battery and I see no advantage to it.

[@TheDroneGeek]

Look at anything made by Hobbymate.

[@_veer11]

Audio 😵‍💫

[@TheDroneGeek]

You gonna be okay?

[@collingourley3786]

No.

[@superconfort]

​@@TheDroneGeekCaptain obvious

[@MrWheezyE420]

@@superconfort What a gronk the creator is with a reply like that. I'm with you wanted to watch a review on these because i want to buy one. But wonky audio meant not going to bother. What the snarky ass creator doesn't realise is wonky audio will limit his view count, so only shooting themselves in the foot by not fixing it and losing the ad revenue. I also like how they don't understand how URLs work. Without the domain before them it's meaningless.

[@7996hobguy]

​@@MrWheezyE420Both of you complaining about an audio issue helps the creator more than anything. KZbin algorithms heavily favor comment engagement. I don't have a problem with the audio, I am using a single earbud in mono. The best way to handle a video that you don't like (for whatever reason) is to click "don't recommend channel" and then just move on. Life is too short for complaining on social media. And that was sort of the jist of the creators reply.

[@jvsonyt]

right guy in left ear and left guy in right air.

[@TheDroneGeek]

I prefer the left guy be in the wrong air snd the right guy be in the trouser kerfuffle

[@jvsonyt]

@@TheDroneGeek you know, I was thinking that also

[@MomoFilmProduction]

Is it just me or is it just a pain in the a** to put those 2.2inch props on the pavo20 pro?? I ruined probably 4 props just because how hard it is to insert them and how fragile they are

[@TheDroneGeek]

No you’re 100% on point. Luckily they’re cheap af so I just buy a metric shit-ton of them so I can ham-fist them onto the drone. But maybe my least favorite part of these smaller quads.

[@MomoFilmProduction]

@@TheDroneGeek ok good it’s not my fault then 😂 they are cheap indeed but so is all the fingers pain haha

[@alexzanatta6572]

idk, I get mine in and out as much as i want as smooth as i want, no problems with some twirling with the motor.

[@MomoFilmProduction]

@@alexzanatta6572 you are so lucky then

[@myname-mz3lo]

the footage is trash .. isnt it supposed to be 4k ?

[@TheDroneGeek]

Eh...trash is an overstatement. It's definitely not up to the level of some action cameras, but it's not trash. The source file is 4K, but we have it compressed down to 1080p and of course KZbin does its thing as well, so I'd blame that more than the actual camera system.
