I had initially gotten out of the hobby when tiny whoops were starting to gain popularity (and were still brushed). Coming back into the hobby my first quad was a TH2 (the white ducted one) and I have owned at least 4 of them because I loved them (and they are kinda trash on the electronics side). My last TH2 malfunction frustration led me down the Mobula 7 route mostly because it boasted ELRS capability. And boy do I thank you for sucking Emax. This little beast ROCKS on 1S! Superior range, pretty decent video (with a micro loli in place of the dipole) and super tight handling right out of the box. My first Mob7 ended up in the bottom of the lake. So I ordered 2 more.

Started out on TH2 as well but just had it flew away due to electronic malfunction (I think). Just put in the order for Mobula 7 too. Great to hear that I didn't lose the TH2 for nothing :)

Incredibly helpful video thanks! I did the binding in Betaflight that you mentioned, all I had to do was set the radio ELRS to use 500Hz instead of 1000Hz, on my RadioMaster Pocket. This allowed me to bind without having a battery in the drone, which means I didn't need to remove props during binding.

Newb here. Got about 8 flights on mine so far and I am impressed. My starter was a TH3 but the VTX ant got messed up, so got one of these, along with the Zorro elrs controller. Super fun drone and the VTX range kinda blew me away compared to my Baby Ape Pro.
@CarbonGlassMan Жыл бұрын
I just ordered one of these. My Tinyhawk 2 is a POS that won't arm half the time when I try to fly it. Unfortunately all of my ELRS is 915mhz so I had to also order the 2.4ghz module. I'm looking forward to getting this. I have been so busy or it's been so cold or rain & snow that I have barely flown anything in a few months now. This thing will get me back in the air.
