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!!!

[@wearemany73]

The way you were chucking the drone around in the starting clip really showed how much fun you were having ripping around your house and yard. Another great video Bardwell! 😊

[@jomaracosta650]

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!

[@turionb1408]

@@FabioKastroyeah me too its a nice one. the mobila 8 is nice too

[@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!!

[@dextergreenman2162]

I love my 2 inch that I built last year the most. This small ones are so much fun

[@ianwalton284]

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]

@@JoshuaBardwell In my experience that tends to fry your ESCs on these little FCs.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Thrash them gently. Just enough that you hear it.

[@JohnSmith_1331]

@@JoshuaBardwell That's what I do. I go turtle and just blip it periodically until I track it down.

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.....

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

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

[@83RBurke]

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

[@fuzefpv5766]

I got flywoo nano20 but with x12 board comes with all built-in with 2inch props. Flys so good.

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

Love how this flies. Awesome little quad. 🤘

[@jstnftw]

Nice drone might think of adding it to my collection, thanks JB.

[@TheHelloHBOT]

I’ve never been so excited over an fpv video in my life. I won’t forget the affiliate links. Thanks my man.

[@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?

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying and review, Joshua!!! 😃 Freaking fun little quads!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thank you for the link to my new tiny flyer Joshua. And thank you for all that you do too.

[@DavidNehlig1980]

This one will be way better than my Emax tiny hawk 3.

[@shoofly]

Bought the HDZero and slapped a 90hz cam on it with bi-blade props, sure it adds some weight but it rips and looks beautiful.

[@KerchooKult]

what kind of flight times do you get

[@SeveSchFPV]

Yeah Nano Quad👌🏽 I love flying my own build Nano Quads these little things are amazing. I prefer analog with audio😉 My similar build with HDZero is only a few grams heavier but doesn't fly as well. 1002 Motors are incredibly powerful, I like the ones from RCinPower.

Great vid and flying. Those are cool little quads Peace🙂

[@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.

[@twiggy749]

I like it. The only I would ask for is to put the vtx outside the AIO, and the receiver in the AIO for better heat disipation.

[@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

[@DroneOn]

Screaming micro life for years. It's a great time right now...❤

[@spdcrzy]

Oh, this is SUCH a cool and inexpensive way to learn FPV cinematography!

[@averagefpv9449]

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

[@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

[@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

Nice flying Josh.

[@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?

[@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.

[@Wildicon19]

These are neat nano flyers Josh!

[@kandredfpv]

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.

[@Demo-bile]

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

[@ufowatch]

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.

[@Iliveforanxiety]

fantastic, im planning to buy one too but the question can you change the frame into like the meteor 75 frame or the 65 one?

[@tiinorivera7606]

Omg. When u tossed them baby drones. My feelings flew with them 😮‍💨 i could never treat my drones like thattt😢

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.

[@Loki_FPV666]

For tiny drones and freestyle HDZero is my go to because of the lower latency and lighter weight. For longer range cruisie flying I'd go Walksnail.

[@SteadfastRC]

Great review JB, call me crazy but actually like a little bit of props in my fpv feed

Especially for a whoop sized quad

[@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.

[@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

[@mikespeedyfpv321]

COOL little drones

[@gymkhanadog]

Wow 25Mbit video link? Insane! 1s-2s? With this performance? Dang... these little guys have come a long way in a year or two.

[@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.

[@mark6302]

tiny flywoos are the bomb i have hd zero versions on the way now

[@zeendaniels5809]

I'm definitely getting this one... It totally convinced me with the separated ELRS receiver in the analog version. Those pesky SPi receivers are just... Ugh... A royal pain in the back.

[@Martoriass]

The digital ones use uart elrs, not spi :)

[@travislupum]

These things are awesome

[@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.

[@airdevil21]

Hi Joshua! I was wondering do you use a skyzone steadyview x in your HDZERO goggles with the analog review?

[@tongueoutfpv]

Need me some Walksnail. Thank you for another great review!

[@steverleonardjr]

You the man!!!

[@uneekpcs]

These look great im gonna have to move to hd soon

[@havoc_64]

Just noticed you switched from the Newbee Drone neckstrap to a Rotor Riot one... and according to Flywoo, the FR and DC have different motors. The DC has 1002, 19800KV vs the FR's 1002, 23500. Did your demo models have the same motors?

[@johncarold]

Hi Josh, Thats it I'm going to be broke this month. I want both the X frame and dead cat. Thanks for the video and Information.

Joshua if you can get ahold of one or build one review the Micro Drones Stingray y4

[@PeugeotL-vd2le]

these 1s quads have gotten so good recently i have a 75mm baby nazgul and a custom built 1s 3inch and its truly amazing to me how well they fly compared to 1s quads of the past

[@PSALM_6012]

It would be cool to try one of these

[@showdownz]

Great vid as usual. Too bad the walksnail got messed up. It did look like the latency and lighter weight of the hdzero really had you feeling comfortable and rippin hard. Fun Fun.

Do you have any plan to review the aquila 16 RTF kit from beta fpv in the near future?

[@grindz145]

Ohhhh shit we callin em birds now 🔥🔥😂

[@cyberoverkill5844]

Oh god I've been doing this ironically for awhile XD

[@TomicaCZ]

Isn't that intentional because of YT restrictions because of war on Ukraine (lot of news involving drones)?

[@ckfpv]

I have the 1st nano. And i went thru 5 boeards before i gave up on it ,it flew amazing except it was alittle under powered and was fixing to put some 25000 kx 0802s on it but the boards keep going bad ???

[@crash_lander]

If you want to fling it better then replace tri blades with biblades, it’s simply more fun to fly

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

[@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?

[@retrohipster1060]

This technology is getting wild. It's amazing how small and cheap this stuff is.

[@spayrex_]

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

[@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.....

[@jeffocchio2532]

Salut Manu merci pour cet aspect très technique j'ai essayé pas mal de papier, je peins essentiellement des paysages forestier ou campagnard et le grain torchon me donne les meilleurs résultats, j'ai l'impression qu'il donne vie à la peinture, bon dimanche .dimanche

[@ferocious_r]

Well yeah I guess you could paint landscapes with a quad, too. Would just need quite the canvas for it.

[@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]

[@ZK_-hs5es]

Would you recommend this drone for as a second drone for a starter i have the 65pro and have been flying it indoors and now im looking for something similar in size but a little more power full to fly outdoors without having to buy new goggles and remotes😂😂😂i dont have money like that

[@connortheandroidsentbycybe3755]

i bet it has a great personality

[@sakfpv8444]

I tried flying 5" quads...went back to tiny trainer 3s and 3" 2s toothpicks. I have a couple heavier 3" (including a plus frame) that i love too. Maybe its because i started on micros over 6 years ago, but i just love the "care-free-ness) of a sub 100gram drone. My 2s 3" toothpick is about 75 grams all up. My 3" plus frame is around 160-170 depending on battery. Im not a fan of all those 1s 40mm open prop micros, and the only whoop i fly is my 85mm 2s whoop (38g without battery). Someone help me like 5" haha
