Betafpv Pavo Mini sub100g quad flight tests and tips (4K)

- I have been flying the sub 100g prototype quad for the past few days. It is a very capable FPV drone with quite a bit of performance packed into an incredibly light package. ND filter could even be skipped when building the machine properly.
After swapping the motors with the 14,000kv ones, flight time improved tremendously to a decent 3 minutes with fast cruise and some aerobatics; 4 minutes with slow to medium speed cinewhooping. That is done with a Tattu 2s 450 95C lipo battery.
It does have some flaws such as the camera mount causing wobbling video in Gyroflow, loosen floating cage screws, and the hard-to-reach USB port. Fortunately, I have the fixes for them and hopefully they will be corrected in the production units.

Nice review and video! Really enjoyed it. I'm gonna check out the Tulip festival for sure!
Thank you very much for watching!
Nice video. Great flying!
Thank you for watching!
Now I want one✊.
Double or triple the flight time with the same weight would be the best!
Maybe in a couple years with better batteries with more energy density.
Very nice video!
Thank you ✌️
Thank you very much for watching!
Longer flight time is always welcome, yet the discreetness and low noise are the highlights of this quad.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for watching!
Amazing man!
Thank you very much for watching!
I’m so jealous!
Did you miss the beta test unit sale? The production unit should be available some time later this month.
Very impressive
Thank you very much for watching
@@flyingpudding been watching your videos and they're very inspiring. I'm flying sims for 2 years now and just jumped the wagon with a goggle v2. Trying to decide what to go for and being in Europe sub 250 seems the easiest first step (from regulation perspective) though I know it'll present challenges in other areas.
Could soldering the motors further reduce the weight considering that'd get rid of the plugs' weight.
@@d3kk yes, direct solder would save a bit more weight. On the other hand, I prefer plugs because it is way easier to swap different motors for testing.
nice fly
Thank you very much for watching!
❤❤❤beautiful
Thank you very much for watching!
Wow ❤
Thank you very much for watching!
nice flying. this mini drone might be good for fpv beginner
Thank you very much for watching!
While the Pavo Pico is sturdy for its size and weight, I would still recommend a conventional whoop style quad for true beginners.
Hi!
Thanks for the video!
What are your rates for close proximity flights? Also AIRMODE is on or off?
Thanks
Thanks for watching! For outdoor I use Betaflight's default. For indoor you may refer to my another video here czcams.com/video/1uxIVp36AEQ/video.html
Nice flying!!! Where did you get the antennas for the 03 Air unit?
They come with the frame kit. You may refer to the build video here czcams.com/video/X-1k9NEGrs4/video.html
very nice...I think that with 3 blade props it could be better overall. More power and maybe better efficency
Maybe. Bi-blade is already providing enough thrust for me though. Thanks for your suggestion and i will give the tri a try 👍
So you're telling me there's a chance
@@mikeb1596 I am making a video on the new v3 flight controllers and the new production frame. The tri-blade props will be in the test 🙏
How is the noise compared to a 3-inch whoop like Geprc Cinebot30?
It is a lot more bearable than a 3" cinewhoop. Bystanders don't even care about it 😁
Will limiting the motor output do the same thing as using lower kv motors?
This is the workaround if you dont have lower kv motors. Efficiency may take a hit and you may get shorter flight time.
@flyingpudding I guess its time to experiment 😊
hi guys one question i always have a problem to bind betafpv drone y suppose to not buy anym more what i buy this pavo pico anny body have idea how to bind which version express elrs is coming in the fc i used 2.0 in all my quad and i don't one to upgrade to 3.0
The elrs rx on the v3 fc is serial UART based and not SPI. Hence it is not tied to the version of betaflight. You may flash any version of elrs to it, hope that helped.
5:34 - Is that Mt Vernon, WA?
It was in Abbotsford, BC Canada 🇨🇦
@@flyingpudding ok not far then, scenery looked familiar
Is this what you see when looking through fpv goggles ?
Yes, the O3 transmits and records the same view at the same time. I get a 1080p picture in my goggles while the onboard recording is 4k.
Frame? Link
The production units will be available soon, some time this month allegedly
Damn wish could use a bigger motor and 3S. Use 5 blades 2"
Probably not possibly with a sub 100g, yet
@Flying Pudding yea I searched for a 1202 or 1202.5 13 or 14kv to run 2s but can't see. Have to run a 3s 300mah lipo. Feel like wouldn't work right
@@GregQuillen 14,000kv prolly won't survive on 3s🙃. 9,000kv or even 8,000kv may work
@Flying Pudding yea searching that for 2s. 8 to 10000kv for 3s prob more like 9k for 5 blades. But would have to test it. See if it better or worse
@@GregQuillen it is better to build a regular 2" if u wan lt to use 1202 on 3s
Why is the video so shaky? I have the same.
You mean my video is too shaky?
Sorry but i don't quite understand. Could you be more specific, which part(s) looks shaky to you?
4 minutes. 🤔
With bi-blade props and some throttle management 😉
To be honest- mine flies Like SHI@... Jello Always - twitching and shaking and propwash often. I could not recommend it LESS!!!
I am sorry that it doesn't work well for you. Please post your setup and maybe even flight footage and we will take a look together.
@@flyingpudding thanks for your kind offer - will do so in the Weekend!
Mini.avata Lol, i want thease
Production unit arriving soon this month I heard, get your O3 ready ☺️
