Absolutely!! I wish there were more similar models to this one to try out. I'm loving the Lightning 2 because it's really small and people is not afraid of it at all.

But the power to weight ration is also pretty great. The 5 inch category has a very wide weight spectrum in witch the drone still flies good. And the 5 inch sized props provide speed that a 3 inch couldn’t

@@Nik_FPV621 yeah power to weight ratio is crucial to a good feel. This can always be fixed on smaller quads with a bigger battery or bling. Always easier to add weight than take it away. If you haven’t tried 3.5” yet it’s a huge difference from 3”. They can keep up with a 5” at most spots.

@WindChillFPV agree, and I don't think most freestyle pilots prioritize a high top speed. Maybe for some chase shots.

@@fooojin I meant that you can, with higher speeds, do tricks like a big throw over some trees or powerloops. Without the right speed and weight that’s simple not as pleasing to do as with a 5 inch

@@WindChillFPV Not yet, I’m planing on building a 3.5 inch

Glad you liked it!!

Actually you could probably modify the camera screw-in pads on the sides by making own 3d printed versions of it to to get it more pushed inside. It could result with having props in view though...

You can see some shadows around the lens already in the footage. I think any more protection will add to those shadows. The O3 has a very wide camera angle which makes it difficult to add that kind of protection.

@@NordFPV The vignetting shadows on the corners of my shots actually come from the flywoo protective UV-lens cap for the naked o3 camera. The view is actually completely clear without it, which is pretty cool for this drone and helpful if you want to use it for cinematic shots. At first I kind of hated the vignetting effect, but now I kind of like it as it give that 90's skater vx1000 with a fisheye vibe :)

@NordFPV there are plenty of cages to o3 cameras that protects the lens without getting into view. Having broken 2 lenses already, it would be great if they could fix this for a v2. Looks awesome otherwise

Hi! I have not had the chance to try the Starship x1, so I can't really say much about it, but the Eagle 1 is a lot of fun and surprised me from the first flight at how good it flies for such a small drone.

I have never flown the starship X1, but it looks exactly like the eagle with some kind of prop guard. In my head prop guard always diminish the freestyling. I may be wrong in this case since they look very thin, but I will say that it will really depends on what you want to do with the drone. If you are going to fly in proximity to people get the starship, if you are more concerned about the best freestyle performance, get the Eagle 1. Even if you get the egale one, you can see/hear Ignas saying he hit himself a few times with the Eagle 1 and didn't cause any problem to him or to the drone, so those prop guard may not do much at the end.

@@NordFPV I thought to just remove the prop guards and have a freestyle/cinewhoop in one package

@@antonio_malatestinic actually sounds like not a bad idea. From the looks of it, they both are very similar drones. The 2" props on the Eagle 1 do chop-up pretty quickly. Not sure how durable the Starship prop guards are, but they actually might make sense in certain situations.

Between summer vacations and betafpv not having enough stock I’m forecasting this drone to be in stock late September. The Mobula 6 2024 is already in stock and they are pretty similar.

@NordFPV yes but having heard in almlst every channel that its better and cheaper, while its summer and perfect to fly outdoors anyway, I am okay with waiting :)

Great feedback. I will see if I can hurry it up.

You're welcome!

@@NordFPV I tried so many times to get this receiver to bind, but it just wouldn’t but after watching your video! Bingo it bind the very first time! Thank you again 🙏

Sorry to hear that. Send me an email to info @ Nordfpv dot com and I may be able to do something for you.

The V2 can work with external adapters like this one as long as you have a module. There are many, each one has pros and cons. I don’t recommend any, I don’t like it, I rather have my dedicated analog goggles.

Thanks! I live in Sweden.

I printed it with my 3D printer. I have the STL in my printable.com page if you want to print one.

@@NordFPV yes

@@NordFPV link didn’t work?

@@Rckid28 www.printables.com/model/939073-nordfpv-1s-rugged-battery-box

Thanks. We are doing a full review but compared to the eagle 1, you will see why. Video is in post production and should be out soon.

😜

You have to check the cell manufacturer for those Li-ion cells, not the battery manufacturer. Sony Murata V6, or Molicell P30B are my favourites, but there are a couple more that can work.

At the time when the video was done the Cetus X didn’t exist. I have not tested the Cetus X so I can’t talk about it.

If you are using a different FC/AIO than the original there’s no use to show the CLI. This LED are connected to a regular pad which is controlled by re mapping the resource to give power. This is not a regular LED. If you still want to see the CLI go to GEPRC’s website and download it from their support section.

Hi and thanks. If windy I will get the 35. I’ve seen many flying a 25 in these environments to avoid people getting scared but then the wind don’t let them do their job correctly.

Hello. I do not own the hezero goggles, so my advices can be a bit generic. To improve reception, chose better antennas. When it comes to firmware, yes update to the latest.

July 12th seems to be the new date.

@@NordFPV thx!

Of course. There are many ways you can an do it. But the question is, is it worth the effort?

@NordFPV , what would you suggest? That would give you the same indications, while out in the field? Great videos, btw! GO SWEDEN

@@CCC0122 Thanks! I think those LED are a bit useless. You don't change those setting that often to need a 1st level indicator. They look nice though

That's awesome! You are half Swedish then.

It’s in the description.

Where the hell is a "description " at a shorts video 😩 why do you make it so complicated ? 😒

@@latbjoern Can you suggest any other way to put it in a place for everyone to find it? The description is available for everyone, you have it in the short feed on the 3 dots next to the video, or if you can click on the video to navigate to my channel and then when you watch the short you will have the description at the bottom of it. Not sure why you find this complicated, and not sure what is the way that you will want to have it.

@@deletedmediatj why not simple write it as a first comment 🤔

​@@NordFPV im not sure why you're getting so much hassle for how you shared the link..i was able to locate it just fine after seeing you say "it's in the description" (via mobile.) thank you for sharing.

Hello. Where are you getting that info? That drone (pro version) is made for 35mm props. In comparison with the old meteor 65 which was only 32mm

@@NordFPV But if you managed to use it with 35mm hq props, then it should be not actual info on their site probably

@@sviatoslavhulko4758 They actually have this on their website: Suitable propeller: 35mm or 31mm propellers. Recommend Gemfan 35mm-3 propellers. Pay attention, HQ 35mm propellers is a little bit bigger and DO NOT fit for this frame. Which claims, the HQ 35 are a bit too big. But they fit on my drone ok. Maybe there was an old batch from HQProps which didn't work?

@@NordFPV Maybe) I don't know, was just curious, probably will try and will figure it out to :)

I don’t agree. As a reseller I get to experience things regular customers don’t. I have my own experience with DJI and based on that I wouldn’t be surprised the information I’m getting from manufacturers is true.

there's a Y adapter on one of the 4 holes. And as long as you don't try to push filament from both sides on that Y adapter, the printer will see only 4 filaments in total.

Can you share the stl link?

It’s in the description of the video.

I will advise against using this frame. I think it doesn’t have enough air flow. There are comments on this video of people having issues even with analog setups.

Hey Denis!. I hope you enjoy it. And let me know if you have any issue that I can help you. I got what I think it's a pretty good TPU profile for that printer.

I try to fly in empty areas, where no one sees me or can hear me. I’m on the opposite side of you so my regular spots are not going to be very useful for you. But there are groups in Stockholm which they have flying areas for racing and training. Just search in facebook for FPV sverige

@@NordFPV Thanks

Are you testing this AIO?

@@user-cr3lr6ym6b yeah

That’s great news!

18.8g ??? what are those "sensible" mods? I've switched to Lifght AF frame, de-soldered connectors, used lightest props, and still on 22g which is nowhere near to your 18.8g. You must tell me what you did!

@@alexandrvishin8411 it’s the proto hdzero/elrs/happymodel AIO, removed the plugs, shortened all the wires or replaced them, ti screws, lighter props, and a modded beta air frame

Yeah. Seems like I got the wrong release date or the actual released got delayed and I released the video too early. The BNF should be out any day now.

Hope you enjoy it!

I think I found it in printables.com.

I give you the one about the kitchen scale, but I did mention that Betafpv will be releasing a 5-in-1 AIO with ELRS in it. So we will see what that AIO is all about once it’s released.

@@NordFPV oh well, somehow overheard that

Ops 😅

It hasn’t released yet. It was supposed to be out already but is delayed. I’m liking it quite a bit

I have recently got a 65mm down to 16.28 that's fairly durable, HM mob6 24 frame, HM super x 5 in one AIO, BFPV 0702se 27000 kV, FXT 19B camera, HM mob6 24 canopy, HM linear antenna, peek motor screws, and HQ ultra light props, waiting on NBD cockroach light AF frame ive seen the reviews I want to try the white frame and test it out, should be below 16 grams, really interested in that BFPV Flight controller.

and BFPV U pigtail bt 2.0 haha

@@jayzzz1234 I think that U pigtail is so good!

Thanks for the support
