The MOST INSANE micro FPV quad! Flywoo Venom H20

[@gnitsark5265]

Chris, you have the best thumbnail pics in FPV. And I'll still never be able to unsee you in that Saw makeup. Thanks for the great content.

[@ChrisRosser]

You're welcome! Come for the thumbnail stay for the science!

I've become a bit of a Flywoo fan. I bought their 1.6 Baby Quad last year and gor a Cinerace20 Pro for Father's Day. These little drones punch so far above their weight and get great battery life 4-8 mins on 450/550's depending on how I fly. I did have to replace the frame on my Baby Quad after too many crashes (broke an arm) but I love both of them and you can fly them literally everywhere. I fly them both in the house too. Analog/Crossfire on both.

[@ChrisRosser]

I've got the CineRace20 too. It's also a great quad but I think the Venom might do even better in terms of flight perfromance thanks to the extra power/authority. Particularly with the extra weight of a Naked GP.

[@monolith2001]

@@ChrisRosser I went ahead and took the plunge and after a week this thing is amazing! In fact my only crash (more of a forced landing) was having too much fun and not watching my battery voltage. Thank you for the review and I truly believe with all the new regs, people are going to start picking up these high performing sub 250 drones.

[@northerntierfpv8947]

That was very impressive, this little guy has it all. The authority looked right on. Thanks, Great review!

[@ChrisRosser]

Thanks for watching!

[@runpuppyfpv5744]

I've had my eye on this since before it came out thanks for the review

[@wiscut564]

can you make a video about geprc mark5 frame

[@BonesFPV]

This just looks fun.

[@ChrisRosser]

It is. At first you think "this is stupid" but actually it really, really works! Sometimes the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success!

[@Rang62455]

Oh, great video, so much so I just got mine. Add the prop guard, because I want to fly it indoors. Still consider myself a beginner and hope I didn't tighten anything too tight.

[@MrSmithFPV]

Really love that quiet prop sound. A big plus point to fly it in parks etc. But other than that just another quad we dont asked for. And far away from "most insane" ;-)

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying and review, Chris! 😃 Pretty interesting little... Well... Flying thing. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@oliviertf]

Did I miss the info? Flighttime at which battery? Dezibels at 5m distance?

[@jordancraig5188]

Ty for the review. Great info.Ive been on the fence about buyimg 1 for a while. Im curious about the esc being rated at 13amps . Is that rating per motor or total? Seems low. Any clarification would be appreciated.

[@JonFloFPV]

Would be curious to see how the prop guards changes the flight characteristics, especially the tuning bit.

[@jessehoffman5302]

Hey Chris, I just ordered one of these based on your review, because I put alot of stock in your opinions. I need to use it for an inside flight job with my gopro bones on and was just wondering if you had tuned this quad at all yourself yet? looking to make it as stable as possible at slower speeds.

[@k4x4map46]

nice review!!

[@FourthWayRanch]

what is that big blocky round thing? a radar reflector?

[@danielnoname8352]

Hi Mate, I appreciate Your content. I have a question regarding video noises. Is it true that if it comes to cables from DVR camera, only signal cable and gnd (without red power cable) should be twisted? If I have all cbles twisted together, are noises bigger?

[@craigsaunders3532]

Been looking for a new small cinewhoop type drone and this looks awesome, Shame you didn't improve the tune on all the BNF'S you review and publish the results (hint hint) 😁😁😁, Great Review

[@ChrisRosser]

Maybe next time! Overrall I think it did really well.

[@stevejobs5]

Great video! I noticed quite a bit of compression in the GoPro footage. Is that a KZbin thing?

[@willpowerfpv3246]

Yeah this thing looks really impressive. I previously had their Firefly Nano hex with the 40 mm props on 4s, and was also really impressed at how well it flew. Unfortunately I live on the Prairies and there aren't very many trees or gaps to shoot, so I ended up unloading it as it didn't get into the rotation as much as my 5 incher's or small racing quads. This looks like a top Contender though if I needed to get shots like this with a naked gopro. Great review Chris, hope to see you do more of them. 👍

[@akukawananakbapakkau]

Lowkey for a stock tune, dang that is impressive

[@ChrisRosser]

Yeah, I definitely think the 6 smaller props helps with stability and authority vs 4 larger props.

[@cineflow7887]

Hi Chris, what sort of throttle position was you at when you did the test flight - was 50% throttle needed for steady cruising or is there alot more head room? I fly the GEPRC smart 35 which ive had to throttle limit as the power to weight ratio was off the scale (with a naked go pro and 4d 750mah) but was looking at getting one of these to replace my smart35

[@Rang62455]

I've heard there are some heating concerns especially on the bench. Did you experience any issues? If so, what is a good way to keep it cool on the bench?

[@dimosthenischristopoulos2606]

Thank you so much for all of your videos! Because that quad is on his way to me, is it possible if you manage to have a better tune for it to share it with us 😀? Thank you!

[@darkmann12]

The constant "quad" is very hard to avoid but a touch grating for a hex XD

[@ChrisRosser]

Tell me about it! I had the same feeling all the way through the edit 😋

[@bugsy742]

😃🤝👍

[@richardheedfpv9626]

Not for me but top review. Can anyone tell me what is considered to be a high g force for a quad as in 8 9 10 etc in betaflight??? Cheers.

[@ChrisRosser]

If you now know it's not for you then the review did its job 👍😁

[@richardheedfpv9626]

@@ChrisRosser Exactly. Cheers.

[@ImperialArmour]

They have recently downgraded it to a F4 controller, is it still worth it?

[@crash_lander]

I don’t agree it can in anyway compare to a cine whoop.

[@ChrisRosser]

That was my feeling too. It's much less draggy than a Cinewhoop and has open props. Better for faster flight and shooting teeny tiny gaps that a 3" Cinewhoop couldn't fit through.

[@seb-depp]

Good review. I got one and like it - I added a buzzer though because you'll have big trouble to retrieve it especially in a wooded area. Are you happy with the Flywoo GP9?

[@ChrisRosser]

Yes. Video coming out soon for that one!

[@bugsy742]

Hey Chris mate - off topic but I’m in the U.K. and your Italian frame supplier doesn’t have your new 5” LR DC frame in stock and I’m gutted 😞 I don’t want to use a different frame 😢 Does your US shop ship to the U.K. without the postage costing as much as the frame? I REALLY want one so bad so I’ll pay the extra if I’ve no other choice but obviously that’s not ideal 😅 Thanks in advance to any reply 🙏🙏🙏

[@ChrisRosser]

Hi! iFlight are carrying this frame now so hopefully some UK shops will pick up some stock from them.

[@bugsy742]

@@ChrisRosser oh man I hope so but I won’t hold my breath 😩 😅 🤝 Thanks so much for replying 🙏🙏🙏

[@ImperialArmour]

It says on the flywoo website that the fc is a F4 :(

[@mauricemarcoux3171]

Nice review ! Im looking for maximum power and speed under 250g with à naked gopro, do you think this is the best option or a 3 or 3.5 inch quad would be better ?

[@bugsy742]

Mate I bought their last two models and honestly they struggled with a Caddx Peanut! Motors SCREAMING and flight characteristics like a flying cow! Horrible! Use a Babyhawk 2 bro, you’ll break this first crash guaranteed! I will say that I trust chris on everything so I suppose if cash isn’t a problem then go for it, I personally am thinking about getting one for fun but not a cats chance in hell I’m putting an action cam on it! 😱😅👍

[@ChrisRosser]

For max power and speed under 250g with a naked go pro I would go with a 3" open prop or the Venom. The Venom definitely has a lot more power than Flywoos previous models.

[@bugsy742]

@@ChrisRosser oh nice dude then I shall give it a whirl if you pardon the pun 😅👍

[@rowannadon7668]

i'm surprised it could carry a hero9 that well. pretty cool drone. just some tips for your gopro footage, try turning sharpness to low, wide lens 4k30 fps high bitrate, and lock white balance at 5500k, it will look super cinematic

[@ChrisRosser]

Thanks for the tips I'll be sure to try them out. It was a naked Hero 9 but still 44g is quite a lot for a 2"!

[@rowannadon7668]

@@ChrisRosser definitely! Also one more tip try setting exposure compensation to -0.5, the GoPro has a tendency to overexpose sunny scenes

[@bobg1443]

What kind of flight times can we expect with 4S batteries?

[@ChrisRosser]

450 mAh 2-3 mins cruising with the Naked GP. 4-5 mins without 750 mAh 4-5 mins cruising with the Naked GP. 6-8 mins without

[@vanair]

A little Bit of Wobbles and Bobbles? A lot of them! I never buy a Copter what cannot fly without Wobbles. It's also no consolation that you can stabilize videos. If the source video is bad, the stabilization will never be good.

[@ChrisRosser]

The Venom performs exceedingly well compared to similarly sized/weight micros in this area but the laws of physics prevent it from being as smooth as larger rigs. However, it can gets shots larger rigs simply can't. I think with stabilisation in post the footage could be quite acceptable even for some professional applications. If you need to get those shots then the Venom might outdo a typical 2.5" cinewhoop in terms of stability. It's the right tool for the right application!

[@flipfpv]

100% agree

[@sergioleandroschnorr2449]

I really didn´t like the motors, I own the drone with XING motors I changed myself, its a good improve

[@stevenrogerfineart5866]

With that much tech why not just have an on-board camera etc. Gopros are practically useless for FPV now.
