You want a mob6 for indoors, a mob7 1s for light freestyle outside and indoors cruising, and you want a 2s mob 8 for outdoor riiiiipping! Haha. Theyre all super fun and you can't go wrong! Get all 3! Also, they're awesome for part bundles for other builds like I said! I've probably purchased 10 mobulas in the past year and a half and I use them for parts and builds. They're the best!

@brianfreland9065 10 ай бұрын

Not only is this a great whoop as is but it's also the perfect whoop to buy for parts! You can buy this and a carbon frame from jacks 3d printing and then you have the perfect components for a rocket race 2s 2inch or a star lord or many other builds! It's the absolute best and most cost effective way to get all the parts you need for a 1-2s ripper!

@Ryan.Rivera Жыл бұрын

I have the Mobula6, I upgraded the motors to SE0802-KV25,000 and it rips now, even with bi blade props. I enjoy flying it outside but I can definitely feel it when the wind blows. I want to get one of these Mobula8s and start flying with 2S. Only thing is I don't want to go too big because I have neighbors that I don't want to annoy, so the smaller more inconspicuous quads work better for me.

I agree. I have the analog as well and it was the most fun I’ve had in a while. I got into FPV in 2015 but had a three year break and just getting back into it. Just like in the past after flying the Mobula 7 and now the 8 I came to a conclusion that to enjoy flying outdoors you need at least a 2 inch prop and the M7 is tough flying outdoors but fun indoors. In the past the tiny hawk was my go to since I live in NYC.

Just for the onboard SDR, I still prefer the Larva X HD. Does woop at well so it can fly indoor. It'd a pain a swap woop/toothpick so I guess you mostly would use one or the other and almost never swap.

I am really in doubt of buying a Mobula7 vs a Mobula8. I'm still a total beginner in the world of FPV. I have 0 experience flying actual fpv drones (only flown heli's in the past, and DJI drones) I do have multiple hours of experience on a sim. I will probably mostly be flying indoors in the beginning but would love to move outdoors quickly when I get more comfortable. What would you recommend for me? a mobula 7 or a 8, starting with 1s and moving to 2s outdoors?

@HalfChrome Жыл бұрын

Go with an 8. Add a throttle cut.

Just gonna warn everyone that this isn’t a good starter drone especially for flying outside. I’m used to carbon fiber 5in quads and I ripped a connector out of the drone after crashing lightly in the grass and broke the frame. Whereas I crashed my 5in quad from 80ft high straight into the ground full speed and nothing on it broke except a single prop. This drone is fun but only indoors

I have a newb question. I'm thinking about moving up to a 2s but I currently have a good many betafpv bt2 batteries (450 & 550 mah) I'm still learning the hobby, but I was wondering if I would be able to replace the connector on this with the double BT2 pigtail instead of the PH connector that you mentioned and just stack some batteries that I already have ? Looks like it should work.

@@HalfChrome But it's not. My first $500 BNF I treated like glass and took super good care of it like it was a Fabrege Egg. Made one flight. Took it home, tried to set up dual stage arming to a Bardwell video, plugged the XT50 in backwards and KAPOW! Just like that, that was the end of my $500 first quad. Instant trauma. I tried to recover buying other quads but it was too late, it was gone. I never knew why I reacted this way. Fall off a bicycle, brush yourself off, get up again, right? Until I had an epiphany one day. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. That's what it was. I had doen everything right. And then just like that, my baby is dead. You don't recover from sh1t like that. Ever. And that is why I think, RC is the.. worst... hobby... ever. Period. Even worse than lawn darts or recreational LSD use. Be happy, be stress free, Fly the sim. RC is grrbage. Your mileage may very, but that was my experience.

@@choppergirl You need to start small, get the tinywhoop, not the 500$ drone. I am starting with the sim and mobula 8. And how did you manage to reverse XT60?

@choppergirl 10 ай бұрын

@@HyperMAX9001 Flywoo sourced one on my first BNF quad that had prongs a few mm longer than spec, thereby defeating the very marginal reverse polarity protection of the connector. I have not yet examined it to see if this was because it was designed wrong, or because whoever soldered the leads may have heated them them too long and melted the plastic and pushed them further forward than need be. I suspect they were designed wrong, but I myself have accidentally overheated XT60 plastic with a soldering iron by holding the tip on too long when soldering them when I first started. I switched to flying the sim which is a lot more hassle free. I've put 5000+ hours on the sim and don't care about the RC hobby much any more. It swcks. There just is no more appeal. Once you lose your first child any more, unexpectedly, that you treated like a glass fabrege egg, only to have it blow up on the bench... do you really care to have a second. I don't. Nobody warned me about that trauma. So now I kind of h8t3 RC... worst hobby ever. Nevertheless, I've got 4 other quads I never got around to completing, configuring, or flying... some cheap like you recommend, some expensive. What a total waste of money. Sorry for the book! But that's the way my cookie crumbled and I became disenchanted completely with RC and FPV.

I have a question, flying a Mob 8 analog ERLS version, using a Radiomaster TX16s, with a Happy Model ES24TX module I can go maybe 100 yards before I lose video/connection with the drone. I am using the stock antenna for the module and the drone. Would you mind sharing your radio and drone settings cause if I go around a house or small building or behind some trees I no longer can see the video and or control the drone, thanks.
