From the outside it may appear that way, Emax might be pushing sales this way. For us reviewing, emax implemented an embargo and set a release date. Both RTF kits have been delayed, not sure why.

cool vid. Are the included Transporter goggles compatible with 'normal' HDZERO quads available as usual BNF ? Also from the various reviews I've seen , most footage has lots of artifacts even at close range. is this normal with HDZERO

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, the compatibility is built into the firmware, the modes we can get are dependent on the camera we are running. not all hdzero cameras support all modes.

[@xxmgz331]

Nice video, question what batteries you was using in that first flight, I’m using the normal battery 650 and the drone goes very slow, when I do flips it doesn’t have that enough power , I don’t know if I have to tuned the drone on bettafly?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I used the batteries it came with or some I had on hand of the same spec. I think what your looking for is faster rates. The rates control how quickly the quad responds to our stick inputs. I have a video on my rates here kzbin.info/www/bejne/op3TeZaNht1rp5o

Do they HDZero goggles have an interface connector for the analog de-interlacing module?? Regardless of mounting, is there any provision for connecting the module??

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

I realize you mentioned that you didn't fly with the RTF goggles, but did you notice the battery life? On Kelly's videos (Ready Set Drone) the battery life was between 25 to 35 minutes, depending on which physical goggle was used.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

That certainly isn't the case. I charged them once and tried them out about 4-6 flights, then switched to my hdzero goggles. I have both freestyle RTF kits, I would say at least 50 minutes of run time. Could vary depending on the ambient temperature as they do have a fan and if the fan is running and running fast to cool with high ambient temps I suppose that could shorten battery life some.

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

@@NickBurnsFPV Wow, ok. I guess there are large battery life variances. Thanks.

How do I set up the TinyHawk to power up and fly on a 1S battery?

[@shmurkles6652]

I was patiently waiting for the TH2 FS to go on sale since LAST NOVEMBER, earlier this spring I was excited to hear that a new TH FS was in the works. As someone on a budget (college), could you honestly recommend buying a new one of these over picking up a used kit? Is the performance difference between the HDZERO and analog really worth $200? It seems like digital transmission is the new big gimmick of this one, so I feel like I would be missing out. What's your recommendation for a $300 budget?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

For those on a budget not interested in HD analog is going to be the way to go for price and performance. Now what do you chose kit or individual components. This will depend...how comfortable you are with computer stuff and how much patience you might have. If we have good patience and are fairly okay with computer stuff we can save on buying individual parts and will get something with more performance and/or durability. But if we are the opposite then paying for a kit will bring more satisfaction and ensure we actually get to fly. Now what to buy has so many questions. Inside, outside flight, performance or durability, how much space do we have or plan to have....?

[@shmurkles6652]

@@NickBurnsFPV I always thought the tiny whoops were lame and kinda want it as a reason to fly outdoors. I'm in a smaller town so I definitely want it to be outdoors. I have a lot of experience with computers and have done some soldering. I've never had a drone or anything FPV, but I have played games with similar controls, played some sims, and flown an RC plane. I have time I could set aside to do these things (I have a project car and have potato cannons n things). Should I do some research on build guides?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@shmurkles6652Building has a set of useful skills and knowledge that we gain during that process. It can be frustrating and test our patience as well. Generally building costs more than buying a kit or bnf, even if the building goes without us making a mistake or otherwise. With that it really depends on own own priorities and how we value them. A bnf will get us in the air faster and cheaper. Building will test us but build the troubleshooting and fixing skills. A BNF isn't without a knowledge gain, with it being built we essentially have it built correctly and if we need to make a repair we have a "wire map" at our disposal. Hopefully that helps some in making your decision.

[@elchapo2440]

​@NickBurnsFPV sorry for all the questions but honestly do you think 69mm would fit it seems there a fair 0.5-1 cm gap from the edge and that's 10mm if it is 1cm and if that's true in theory you can fit 67mm battery's but I can't call it for sure the videos can be deceiving sometimes it could be bigger or smaller can you test fit a 550mah 2s to call it forsure I'm looking at the ruler and think that 57mm to 69mm battery could be possible but not fully sure.

ATTENTION, I DO NOT recommend tinyhawks to anybody. Their AIO boards are overpriced and break a lot. Same with motors, non standard and emax motors are super expensive. I started with tinyhawk S, then tinyhawk 2, then tinyhawk freestyle. I ended up buying 8 AIOs over time, they're over 80 euros each, while other similar performing AIOs are 40-50 normally. Reviewers on KZbin don't keep flying these RTF kits after the reviews and their durability is not questioned.

Ive always wanted an HD DVR RTF (I’m intimidated by custom building) is this what I’ve been waiting for?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

depends on budget and how you see it.

[@davidgrubb354]

Hi Nick. I got the latest kit with ELRS and HDZERO a week ago. The very first thing I ran into was that EMAX tech support has taken over 5 days to respond to my submitted ticket while claiming they would respond within 1-2 business days which is a joke. Buyers beware. But the issue is that my transmitter won't charge no matter how long, to have a solid green light like the manual says. Mine will alternate between red and green about every second no matter how long it charges. EMAX just don't know why or who knows? I would suspect it to be defective. But that's just speculation on my part. I know this video is 9 months old but looking everywhere for answers and finding nothing but pure chaos in the drone world. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance. dlg

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It does sound like it could be defective. By chance does that one come with an accessible 18650 battery? If so maybe swap it out, and try different usb cables and different usb power sources to see if anything changes. Have you used the remote for any length of time? Does it turn off after a short time? How long will it run before it shuts down?

[@davidgrubb354]

@@NickBurnsFPV I tried every cable and charger in the house. My Samsung Galaxy cell phone is a quicker charging one that still does not work. An no, I didn't want to risk battery damage due to using it without knowing it was fully charged.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@davidgrubb354 does the back of the radio have a door or tray opening?

[@davidgrubb354]

Nick, it was the battery. I doubt anyone would have known to do that. Why would a brand new radio come with a deflective battery? where was quality control? I swapped it out and the other charged up just find. Off to to find another issue that will stop me in my tracks. I hear you mention Betaflight to adjust a setting which you thought made the drone more or less something? but you liked it better at 86%. You got way above the head of a beginner on that one. It was mighty unclear when you don't know what Betaflight is, how to get it, where to install it and how to connect it to the drone, transmitter, or video to adjust things. Do you know of a video out here that would walk a beginner through setting up all components to the Betaflight application? but thanks again on the Battery. I would have never thought to switch it out and more figured it was a built in component.

[@davidgrubb354]

Nick, good job getting me past the transmitter/battery issue. So when I powered up the transmitter making sure arming was in the off position and throttle off, the drone beeped a few times indicating who knows what, possibly bind complete..?? But when I went to give it some throttle, nothing happened. So I tried left rudder and right rudder and certain blades activated and it would spin around in circles. I then tried the right stick and it was working correctly but only using 2 props to change the tilt. So it just slid to the right or left as you used the right stick. Still no throttle. So I'm stuck again but getting closer. Why would the throttle be dead? Did I miss something previously? And I notice in most all videos that all 4 blades typically begin to spin fairly slow when you arm the drone with the transmitter. Mine does not do that. My blades only spin if you move the various sticks and all my sticks seemed to be working except the throttle. Very weird. And now we are going on 6 days on my previous ticket to EMAX without a response. 1-2 business days they claim is false advertisement.

[@BertoLaredo]

How do I know when the 1S batteries are charged? They have had a solid green light for 1 hour since I turned it on. Where there is no battery the green light flashes. Where I have both batteries installed it is a solid green light. When the charge is finished, does it turn a different color or does the green turn off? They have been charging for 1 hour

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Not sure and the manual doesn't detail this. I suspect from the manual full charged is solid green light. a way to check battery voltage is to plug in the battery to the quad and look through the goggles at the on screen battery voltage, depending on version full battery would show something between 4.08 volts to 4.2 volts.

[@BertoLaredo]

@@NickBurnsFPV 8.24v puts me on screen

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@BertoLaredo Okay, yes that is about right. I forgot this one uses 2 1s batteries, so the fully charged batteries would be 8.4 at most 8.45, but after we plug in some of the voltage is used to power the quad.

[@BertoLaredo]

@@NickBurnsFPV So I have them loaded whole. When should I turn off the drone after flight when it drops to 3.20v? I am a beginner with a drone

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@BertoLaredo stop at about 7volts.

Appears to have some break up not much different than analog , or is it just me who thinks that ?

[@IsaacSchultz-lz8jc]

On my th 2 fr I use a dual bt 2.0 and it is just a good idea if you want to use 2 single cells and you can buy gnb a30 batteries

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, either is better than ph2.0. It took this hobby several years to move from ph1.25 to ph2.0, we now have much better connectors to option to.

[@derrickcraddock2022]

Hey Nick. Good point...if you can't see you can't fly. But overall this is an excellent option for folks looking to try out the hobby. Thanks for this!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yea I wish my eyes hadn’t “aged” but that is life. Lucky I can use goggles at all. Should be thankful 😁

[@BertoLaredo]

How to link the station to the drone. Pressing the two arrows in?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

If you bought the kit it should be linked/bound out of the box. Did something change? From page 7 of the manual

[@NickBurnsFPV]

1.3.1 Binding & Unbinding Entering Binding Mode for E8 Transmitter (ELRS-2.4G): Start by powering on the E8 Transmitter (ELRS-2.4G). Then, simultaneously press the "L4+" and "R3-" buttons and hold for 1 second. A sound prompt will be heard, and the central indicator light will alternate between green and red flashes, indicating that the transmitter has entered Binding Mode. Entering Unbinding Mode for E8 Transmitter (ELRS-2.4G): Begin by powering on the E8 Transmitter (ELRS-2.4G). If it's already successfully bound to the flight controller, then simultaneously press the "L4+" and "R3-" buttons and hold for 1 second. A sound prompt will be heard, and the central indicator light will alternate between green and red flashes, signifying that the transmitter has been unbound from the flight controller. 1.3.2 Button

Thanks a lot for the review. I’m thinking about getting this kit as a beginner. I would like to upgrade the quad in the future with the same goggles. Can we use the transporter 2 HD goggles with another HDzero quad also?

yes, the hdzero goggles whether the transporter or others compatible with other hdzero vtx and cameras.

Thanks Nick! Always appreciate your take on products. That radio is so close to being the best. I hope they listen to Kabab FPV because I would buy it immediately. The rest of the kit is really good too.

[@joelpearson8623]

Back in the day I always soldered my motors up wrong. I remember switching the motor wires but always losing my props because the nuts were threaded the wrong way! My fix was to pull the c-clip and switch the motor bells 🤯. Those c-clips would always go flying and it was so stressful! 😅 Nick you really are my favorite reviewer. I hope you don’t ever stop. Thanks for everything

[@NickBurnsFPV]

If you find your removing c clips in the future try it in a gallon sized zip lock back. This blocks the clip from many of its exit directions. Thank you for the kind words. Appreciate it.

[@modquad18]

All of your links point to the Tinyhawk III whoop. This one you reviewed should be called Freestyle, shouldn’t it? The name Tinyhawk has, in the past, always referred to the propeller-guarded whoop. And past Freestyles resembled this one.

[@modquad18]

Yeah, just looked at their web site. This review is the Tinyhawk III Freestyle. Might want to update your title and links.

Great Review of the greatest RTF fpv drone Is it possible to use dongle and use only one connector with 2S battery (I will buy separate) ???

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I believe so but the performance will be very low, it will only be capable of flat slower flight.

[@KazanskyAlex]

@@NickBurnsFPV Why ? It will be 2S battery Or it can't work on full power through the only one connector ?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@KazanskyAlexoh sorry I missed the detail that it would be a 2s battery with using just one of the ph2.0 connectors. It should work normally with the typical ph2.0 limitations. I don't expect full 2s performance using a single 2s battery with one ph2.0 connector. That connector isn't rated for 8.4v (2s), and thus would be a energy limiting factor.

@@NickBurnsFPV No idea what's the deal there, maybe just gratitude for them noticing him and giving him a nod at some point of his FPV life. I just find it amusing 😇

yes if the computer supports blue tooth. I don't recall what has to be done with the radio to enter bluetooth mode, but its in the manual.
