Nice littel looker, decent price in these times. Motor Plugs, ugh, PH2 connector, slight ugh but still very common. Glad I didn't invest in GNB 27, big fan of BT2 and now A30 batteries. Minus those two connectors you make it look very capable, I'd be the more "Is it Durrable" test pilot in the room and it looks like you did good there too. Good point on the 25mw, I run that on a Mob6HDZero and put an Old house with loads of overhead wires between us with little breakup, range is subjective. Looks like a fun quad tho and you're flying. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for the video, Cheers!

you are right on switching to bt2 right from the beginning, its definitely scary to solder it for the beginner to your TINY whoop pads, but its sort of mandatory if you want much better experience. i got stuck for 2 seasons with ph2 becasue i got ph2 batteries. and now its a bit more costy to switch, but well have to lol i think its good that you are letting people know some important tips all the time to make less mistakes with what to go for

Apropos your choice of Vtx frequency, what do you (anyone) think about Band E, Ch 8 (5945)? It's the highest analog frequency I can note/use, and furthest from WiFi - Your chosen Raceband Ch 8 (5917) is a bit lower. I'm still hunting for the best Freq, (and don't race) - any comments/recommendations are welcome. Cheers.

Am I the only one that isn't upset about the 25mW only VTX? I honestly don't crank up the power on my whoops that often anyway. And for racing, that is all that is allowed. I hope/suspect that making it 25mw only could also increase the reliability/longevity.

Another great review! Question for you. Would you rather have this a Mobile7 or Mob6? Do you think it's worth waiting a bit for the new HappyModels? I have a DIY Moblite 7 Mob 6 but my HM FC on both is giving me some issues it reboots on a crash so was thinking of getting a new Whoop especially for this Winter indoor flying. I've had mixed experience with Humming Birds in the past so not a huge fan but would give them another go. I love the sub 20g weight and nimbleness of the HM stuff not exactly sure how an extra 4-6g is going to impact my flight.
@NickBurnsFPV
Жыл бұрын
I very much prefer the 75mm whoops. Our house is good sized and has good flight spaces. 75mm also is better outside in my opinion. I am not aware of HM coming with a new whoop soon, but I wouldn't be surprised as it does seem, Oct/Nov is a good time to launch whoops. I suspect betafpv will as well with their new "air" frame, not sure if that is 65mm with 31mm props or 65mm with 35mm props.

The pool cover was installed by the pool company. They call it an "auto cover". There is a track and cabling built into the cement area the length of the pool and the bigger area with the silver cover is where the cover is rolled back and stored when open. The area the cover is rolled back into also has a motor attached to the track cables to pull the cover on and off. Over by the pool filter and heater is a switch behind a keyed/locked cover that controls the motor and whether it is covering or uncovering. It does a good job keeping the pool pretty clean. We leave it covered when not in use, although I do open the cover from time to time to let the water breath...the pool company instructed us to do that. We also have an in water cleaner that moves about in 2 hour increments.

I do believe I have reviewed most whoops the mobula 6 is a really good one too. The main difference is weight. Lower weight generally allows us to fly long and/or faster inside. The lower weight doesn't help us outside with the wind. The frame of the mobula 6 isn't durable. I have broken all of them in some way. As to other flight they fly comparatively similarly other than the weight factor.

Save some money and get FuriousFPV LITE module for around $50 vs. $160 for RF or $120 for tbs fusion. Gives 95% same signal quality for 1/3 the price! I compared them thoroughly and even in a parking garage so similar, not worth paying TRIPLE for Rapidfire. It and Fusion are the big names, but good ole FuriousFPV gives the same performance. So close can't really tell the difference! Heck, you can actually buy this whoop with the savings! 😎🤘

No particular reason. I had the rapidfire for almost a year before I got a fusion. I think the fusion works equally well. I need to find time to go through a number of quads and test with fusion and maybe make the switch. Depends if they both have the camera sync issue or not. trouble is not every flight the rapidfire will have the issue, would take a bunch of flight testing.
