Transcripts
hello everyone in this video we're going
to take a look at the Mobil 6 hd0
version which is called the Eco in the
VTX and Camera which is also called the
[Music]
Eco
of course we're going to have an inside
flight with the suggested camera
settings we're going to have an outside
sample flight with the suggested camera
settings uh the full outside flight
we'll have the default camera settings
uh we'll also take a look at what it
looks like when you don't update the
first firmware on the VTX and Camera
combo and uh we'll do a little LED
flying as well so there's a lot to get
to so let's get started just like with
the analog version of the mobile6 2024
Edition we have SE 0702 28,000 KV Motors
and on those Motors are the gemfan 128
Tri bladed 31 mm props the flight
controller is the Super X HD and it does
come with Express lrs as well as motor
connectors which we didn't have on the
analog version the previously mentioned
hd0 ecos system which is their VTX and
Camera combination and you'll notice no
more mippy cable I don't know how they
did that but we just have a four wire
setup for this hd0 camera battery
connection is the a30 which is bt20
compatible as we see here the mob 6 Eco
weighs 23 12 G I fly and recommend the
wee bed fpv as well as Tiny woop.com 1s
batteries and with one of those
batteries our all up flying weight comes
in at almost 32 G the hd0 Eco weighs 6
.76 G with the stock antenna that it
comes with mobus 6 did not come with the
same antenna it came with what we see is
more traditional and because we love it
motor post to motor post it comes in at
65 mm the hd0 Eco does come with the
lead and connector that you need to
connect up to your flight controller as
well as mounting grommets the Mobil 6
Eco does come with your traditional
assortments note that they have longer
mounting screws which is a smart move
although I did recommend that they use
larger headed uh long screws for Mount
this canopy down uh we also get a small
screwdriver an extra set of props uh we
get some motor mounting screws as well
as the obligatory prop remover that
really doesn't prop remove and we also
get three sheets of stickers so before
we start the inside flight I do want to
show you the camera settings cuz I found
that they do make a dramatic difference
outside of the firmware cuz I originally
started flying this on whatever firmware
they shipped it on and then I flew it
for about 10 days and then HD zero came
back and said hey we have a firmware
update so I slapped that on there and
we'll get to all that but these were the
settings that they sent and I think Carl
from HD zero knows that I don't like to
change the settings when it comes to
reviews uh but in this case I thought it
was it came before my review anyways and
I thought I could show it as well as
show it in the default view uh that you
would get with the firmware version that
uh at this time it is running of course
with hd0 or with HD systems the firmware
is kind of always maturing and it's
always changing and whether that effects
or camera or our video signal
performance you know that's kind of what
the firmware changes are built around or
designed for uh but these are the
settings that they sent uh don't worry
if you're not capturing this on screen I
will go ahead and put it on screen after
we get done with all the flying so you
can just see the the type text of the
settings and you can write those down or
capture those uh or whatever method you
like to capture those on uh hopefully uh
future firmware versions will just come
with those camera settings and this is
our inside flight uh I'm going to take
off here just momentarily there we go uh
so this is going to be my traditional
flight style u i shouldn't presume but
you know my flight style inside is kind
of a racing flight style it's kind of
where I started at and it's kind of
where fpv and my joy for FV came was
kind of flying low and fast and kind of
that pod rer sort of flight feel uh so
the audio does not come from the VTX I
get that question a lot I think that's a
a question of Innocence many of our
veterans know I use a secondary camera
it's actually a cell phone and then I
bring that audio from the cell phone
into the flight footage so this was one
of my most recent flights because it
does have the new camera settings uh
also something to note about video
reception is you know our houses here in
the US are built with traditional uh
cardboard that's a joke it's not
cardboard it's sheetrock and wood for
the most part uh industrially you will
find some uh aluminum studs as well as
different uh wall boards but you know
for residential sort of construction
this is uh what we have and our floor
plan sets out pretty well for video
reception so if you are flying in an
apartment that has concrete walls and
you have a lot of
RF uh floating around from various
neighbors and stuff your video reception
might not be as good uh of course I
always recommend flying R8 which I am in
this particular video because R8 gets us
up above uh Wi-Fi frequency and that is
the best possible solution at least
while you're flying alone uh so do know
that my position also matters if I fly
sitting in the basement my reception on
the main floor is not nearly as good so
this position is also important to the
video reception uh now I haven't even
talked about the quad and I'm almost 2
minutes into this uh so I like my
batteries to also end at 3.5 volts after
I come back to my landing spot and
disarm and kind of give them a moment to
uh their voltage to increase and right
there at the end of the flight I ran
softly I would note ran in to the chair
and we've ended the flight now at the
table where I am sitting 204 on the
flight time and that is pretty
traditional for me to get somewhere
between some of my faster flights were
at like 155 and then other flights were
at like 210 to
215 uh so this is a sample uh I wanted
to show you this first before we go to
the outside flight the full flight that
I'm going to show you Cas of course you
can look at this and take away from it
what you will uh but this is with those
camera settings because the flight that
we're a go to which was the designated
outside flight for me I didn't have
these settings yet uh so I was flying it
on the stock setting so you'll get to
see the difference just know that this
section of flight that I'm kind of
narrating through is so that you can see
what it looks like with the camera
settings that are suggested from hd0 and
I do think those camera settings do make
quite a bit of difference because the
stock settings uh the main thing I
noticed was like the skin tones and the
wood really had an orange sort of flavor
to them uh so the setting changes that
they have I took that away and it
actually make the image appear much more
natural than it did on the stalk or
default settings that I received uh with
the firmware update that I am
running and here is the outside flight
that I was speaking of this is on the
default settings you can tell that the
Blues in the sky are a much different
shade uh you probably also notice uh
just various other colorations just
aren't quite as good um I think the
picture is about as clear but I
shouldn't talk too much about the
clarity of the image uh because I am not
all that Discerning of course the sun is
lower during this flight this I believe
is an afterwork flight before I start
running kids around to the various
places they go in the
evenings and I do outside flights on
these for a lot of different reasons
because whoops aren't just for inside
flying some people like to fly whoops in
small playgrounds which are really fun
to go through the tubes uh on those
playgrounds when my kids were younger
and they used to be in those playgrounds
I I used to do that I didn't feature it
much on the channel but it was something
that I enjoyed was flying around those
Jungle Gym sort of tubby sort of
playground sets that they have uh or you
just have a smaller space maybe between
your house in the the neighbor's house
uh they're also very very small so
they're not very alarming to any folks
who might get concerned about uh quads
or drones flying in their area uh you
show them something like this and
they're kind of like oh well that that
thing's tiny excuse the noise I do have
kids at home as spring break has
started but I think for one s it's very
viable outside you can do just about
everything I normally would do you just
do it on a smaller scale and that
shouldn't be surprising because we're
flying on a smaller scale right uh they
could be most fun in shooting particular
gaps I have to be careful when I'm
around the pool because you'll notice
some water on the pool cover so if I
Bonk into something and I crash out
there there's a probability that I might
not make it out of there oh yeah and I
had a crash right there too that was a
little bit of danger
there also when I'm over in that Cabana
that outdoor living space area I am
flying behind myself so I really don't
have any antennas helping us out there
so if you see some of that breakup yeah
I'm flying behind myself and I'm not
even facing that direction at all so
that's not very beneficial it would be
most beneficial if I turn myself uh
probably about another 25 to 30Β° to my
right that would kind of cover the area
a little bit better but the flight has
ended outside we got 2 minutes and 10
seconds because we have longer runs less
tighter turns and our batter is in good
shape at 3 53 probably could have flown
another second or two and of course this
is our LED run this is for all our racer
friends or people that like to go to
whoop events whoop events are
notoriously fun I think I actually said
notoriously fun in the last uh video
when I talked about whoops but I have
various Gates out uh Mobil Gates I don't
believe is operating anymore even though
their website is up it doesn't appear as
you can order uh we bed fpv which is the
two Cube Gates you've got the flexible
Cube gate and the PVC the multicolored
one up there uh those are available as
well as has uh there's another wee bed
gate just a single hoop gate sitting
down there on the floor of course Tiny
whoop sells Gates newbie drone sells
Gates you can get lots of gates uh at
various places Gates tend to be a little
bit of an expense I can't remember the
pricing on it but I do know those Cube
Gates especially the PVC one is is
fairly expensive and they do have two
different sizes I've Got The Big Cube
gate sitting on the table back there so
you might want a smaller one cuz that
one I have to break down in order to put
it away and get it through a doorway
back there
but this is also on the old camera
settings uh I didn't have an opportunity
to recharge batteries and get everything
set back up uh for the new camera
settings so that's something else I need
to make sure I make a strongest point of
when it comes to this led flying is this
was with the default settings uh which I
suspect this would all be improved and
if needed please let me know I can come
back uh maybe in another week I'll get
another opportunity to charge batteries
and whatnot and and get the Gat set back
up and do another flight with the
updated camera settings more than
willing to do that but if it's not
really necessary no reason to fill up
your YouTube subscriptions with another
video that you know only a couple of
people are interested in the mob 6 Eco
should debut at $150 which some of you
might be surprised at that price point I
know I was and the Eco VTX hd0 that
should be debuting at
$70 so if you're an HD zero user to me
especially being a micro guy this seems
like a no-brainer unless there's
something in the other H HD zero cameras
that you're looking for uh mounting is
one thing for the camera you know it
it's only got those two screw holes at
the front so mounting the camera is
something where you're going to have to
keep that camera in mind but for
$70 and I have beat this up and I have a
crash reel for you as well I have flown
this well I got this at the same time
that I got the mobilus 6 uh 2024 the
analog version and so I've been kind of
flying them side by side for for the
most part over the course of the last
two plus weeks it might be 16 or 17 days
and I can always fly inside over lunch
and in the evenings and stuff like that
so I've got a lot of flights on this
already and uh when we get down to the
desk I will show you the uh crash reel
that I have which I think in many
regards is that durability test that
most people want to see with new
products but before we get to the crash
reel and some desk details I do think
it's important to show you how this
shipped to me now originally when this
came to me I'm kind of being redundant
there with my words I guess I'm sorry
about that uh it came with a widescreen
format which some people might ask hey I
want to fly that format can I go back to
that with the new firmware no that does
not appear to be an option right now
hopefully we will see that option if the
community calls for it I know a lot of
people fly tiny whoops in 43 um
basically because it's probably the most
comfortable for most people but if you
want the WID stream format the best
thing you can do is either send a
message to hd0 or leave a comment down
in the comment section uh letting hd0
know that you want the widescreen format
back uh of course at this time this is
running on the default settings as it
came out of the box as well uh so there
probably is some uh enhancement we can
make to this image uh either be the
color and saturation and brightness
settings to make it more like the 4-3
version that I showed you after the
camera changes but just know that this
is how the camera comes out of the box
so if you're wondering why you know if
you buy the Eco VTX and camera and then
you wonder why yours looks differently
than mine it's because you need to put
firmware on it which if you don't have
one of these VTX programmers from hd0
yeah this this makes things so much
easier and so much quicker you don't
have to worry about heating up your
board because you got it plugged in too
long or anything I highly recommend for
our hd0 users that you have one of these
VTX programmers it just it cleans up the
process and makes it so much easier I'll
put the crash reel over here it's about
3 minutes of crashes just know that
that's not all of my crashes uh there's
none of the widescreen flight footage in
the crashing I just went over my last I
think it was two or three days of
flights and pulled out the different
crashes that I had uh many of them at
the beginning of the section were where
I was trying that move from the top
floor of our house down through the
stairwell and I just couldn't get it
there's something about my uh technique
or just my skill set I just wasn't
getting it uh I pulled it off before a
time or two but honestly it hasn't been
something that I practice all that much
uh but with this particular case and I
had pretty much completed my flying as
far as my satisfactory number of flights
which is got to be close to 80 or 100 at
this point on the
Eco I went for I did two things at that
point I did my speedrun which was uh the
teaser clip at the very beginning that
little short burst it was 25 30 seconds
whatever I do that in order to just kind
of push myself cuz cuz it's something I
enjoy I enjoy trying to fly a little
faster as well as you know when you have
crashes when you're trying to fly a
little faster uh does have to prove out
the durability uh to a certain
extent um so the crashes as well as uh
the crash reel as well as my little uh
pushing the speed sort of speed runs are
all part of the process normally uh for
me and as you can
tell you know our pitch on our props
might be a little bit bodged up or
something like that but I don't think
it's too bad I even think even with the
props being as high as they are I still
think the motor stems are in good shape
um again just like with the analog
version the frames are very flexible
especially in these gaps like the bigger
gaps over here on the sides very
flexible very flexible this way as
well uh but this is would be wouldn't it
be the lightest hd0 bind andly setup
it's got to be I can't think of one
coming in any lower um so another thing
that was important to me that did
survive and you can kind of see on my
canopy how this
lip it got bodged so much or hit so much
that it's kind of flattened out and you
can see a little bit of the materials
kind of come up uh so this canopy
actually does a pretty reasonable job of
protecting the camera as well as just
the camera surviving all of my crashes
now I mentioned it in my analog video
but I did break off the motor screws or
not excuse me not the motor screws the
camera screws let me zoom in just a
touch if you look at the length on both
sides of where the camera screw mounts
in here see how short that is down there
versus on the analog version where I
didn't break those you see how much
longer that is yeah I did break those
off uh I can't remember how far in I was
I would say at about a week in and I
just of course I lost the screws too so
I had to pull out screws for my own
stock and I just put it up against the
screw mounts and just screwed the screws
back in uh the screws I used didn't
punch through the front of the canopy so
that's something that about as as far as
the damage goes you do need to notice
that I did break the little screw mounts
and there's only two of them one in each
corner so that's our screw mount
something else that uh it kind of is
along that damages I lost three of the
antennas that it came with so the flight
that you saw on the inside flight with
the new camera settings the main indoor
flight that was with this particular
antenna I can't say it's the best
antenna or the worst antenna but what I
was looking for in my stock was an
antenna that is very very similar in
length and style that what it ships with
of course if you buy the Eco itself it
comes in with this little antenna which
doesn't have the metal shield around it
which isn't critical to the operation
but you know in the best case scenario
uh for video reception that Shield does
help a little bit uh but do note that uh
stock Eco if you buy it just separately
comes with this antenna or at least it
comes with this antenna as far as how I
received it I haven't gone into checking
any tunes I actually thought the tun
tune worked better for this heavier hd0
or Eco version uh I I didn't feel as
quite as much of a need to change the
tune and when I was flying this one I
was also experimenting with uh different
props if you didn't see this video where
I changed out the props and the pit tune
uh I don't want to go into that
explanation because I'm sure this video
is already long but uh I'll link this
video down in the video description but
one thing that we did learn from this is
that with the change in just the props
and a little bit of a pit tune I got 30
more seconds of indoor flight time so I
would expect that if we made the same
sort of change on this we get a similar
sort of longer flight time result now
that flight time was not slower flight
that was my traditional ins inside sort
of flying but yeah I think these props
just aren't quite as efficient but of I
do believe that gy fan has a lighter
kind of counterpart to these HQ props
available so you could go to those as
well but I think these uh are just you
know slightly heavier and they might
have a little bit more pitch uh versus
these particular props so if you're
looking for more flight time out of your
uh quad two things buy Quality Batteries
U I'm not saying these are the only
Quality Batteries that are the same
basically all these batteries that are
flat sell bt20 are all made by the same
companies you just buy them with
different brands these are the two I
have I believe tattoos are the same I'm
hearing about other brands I just I
don't like to vouch for things that I
haven't tried out myself so these are
the two I can vouch for so these are the
two I recommend so one of the things
that happy model has learned and I don't
know if I've actually suggested it or if
they just watched you know some micro
Channel or something but longer screws
are really beneficial when it comes to
these double stack uh sort of HD whoops
it it it's almost critical because if
you use a shorter screw the more
traditional screw that's about half this
size you're going to end up snapping off
the post uh likely more than one in
relatively short order but when you use
a longer screw it gets down into the
meat of the post it gets down into the
frame and it just makes everything much
more secure M much less likely to break
and uh I'm not certain how they measure
screws on for ordering them but I wanted
to try to give you some idea of the
screw length in this particular case so
I'm going to measure it from head to
point which I don't think is how they do
it that looks to be a 10 mm screw I did
suggest a happy model that they use a
screw head that is bigger because it
will hold the canopy down better if it
has a bigger flat head oddly enough if
you look at the analog version they used
a bigger head on these screws but these
aren't long screws uh so we'll see if
they actually make that change on
production versions at this time I can't
say for certain until we start to see
the production versions uh come out
which this should be available as this
video is released off the hd0 website
and then we'll see this available from
resellers uh about 2 weeks later which
is about what we'd expect I think for
the most part when it comes to uh
product launches specifically with happy
model and hd0 but uh and if you're
wondering for your build purposes
getting screws like this I've bought
these screws from AliExpress from bang I
think from bangood from eBay I know I've
gotten some from eBay as well and I
typically don't order with the smaller
heads like this one I get the the bigger
pan heads I think they're called where
they're just hopefully you can see that
maybe I get that closer how much bigger
the head is and that will hold our
canopies down that that's an important
build aspect at least it is for me so
something else that I did was I plugged
it into blue J or escc configurator
tocom and then I pulled up the blue jay
version as you can see here on screen
the max startup power is also maxed out
just like it was on the mob 6 2024
Edition so these flight controllers have
been configured the same now it has been
suggested that you can turn down the
startup power and use more boost uh some
people are wondering if these are
settings that longterm would damage the
ESC possibly I I have a hard time
believing that but anything is possible
and of course I've been
flying both of these for the better part
of over two weeks um so if it's going to
damage him I would hope it would come
within that period of time otherwise
it's just like anything with our micro
components that we slightly damaging
them very very slowly you know one
thousands of a percent with each
particular crash and it may take you
months in order to kill one or it could
take you weeks depending upon how you
fly how you crash and how hard you're
going so I got the scale back out here I
wanted to weigh just the Eco so 6.53 and
then their specific antenna let's make
sure that's where uh zeroed out uh the
antenna that they have like that is 0.17
so that weight is going to be hard to
beat um I have some antennas from ort
that come in around a half half a gram
and traditionally the stock antenna
comes in around 0.5 or 6 grams as well
so not a huge amount of weight but when
it comes to whoops depending upon how
skilled you are or how you fly you may
find that you notice the difference in
these weights so it's something to be
aware of while we're on the topic of the
Eco bundle the camera and VTX I took
some close-up pictures so those of you
that know these components are concerned
about the layout of these components can
see them as well as the solder pads and
I do think this PCB board is a touch
touch tou touch thinner than we've seen
in other HD zero boards but go ahead and
pause if you'd like to get a longer look
at those but we're going to continue to
move on I did also suggest a happy model
that they make the battery lead uh 5 mm
longer so that you just have a little
bit more to work with of course that's
going to increase the weight as just a
touch as well but uh several people
noted you know that well one of the ways
that I do things let's see let's get one
lined up here so I
shove come on go in there that's the
thing this battery tray is much better
as far as holding our 1s batteries than
the previous frame so I shove them in
all the way down to the plastic
connector and then I plug them in and
I'm fine with that but some people want
their battery to be more centered so
they want to push them back and as you
can tell if you push it back much more
you're going to end up putting pressure
on the connector and the pins within the
connector uh so making this 5 mm longer
which isn't very much uh should take
care of that issue being able to Center
your battery uh otherwise I did ask them
to see about getting these a30
connectors with a right angle uh I
believe they're getting the battery
leads from G and B and they did not uh
say that that was an option so U we can
also do that ourselves which I did one
on the analog version myself just made
it a right angle adapter so I could
actually take some length out of the
battery lead this way because I have it
mounted right angled so overall I was
pretty impressed with how these things
fly both of them um you know when we
come down to the pit tune we can get
awful picky uh I should make sure that
everyone's aware that I have a bias for
75 mm whoops I prefer them inside and
outside but I do understand why 65 is so
much more popular or it I guess it can
be perceived as much more popular when
we see Tiny whoop races I think they're
just almost uniformly at least the
bigger races always flying 65 mm 31 mm
props as well as I think when you go
down to the smaller prop size it
produces less thrust and therefore it
makes it easier for most to fly inside
it does take some time and some effort
and some you know practice in order to
get inside flying down so I if you're
new to fpv or you haven't flown inside
before and maybe you're wondering it it
takes time some people pick it up very
very quickly I've been flying since 2015
and I've been flying inside probably
since within a year of that 2015 date
and so I've slowly progressed over time
uh you can watch other people have been
flying nearly as long and are doing
crazy amount of tricks like Mo fpv I
don't think he has a review on the Eco
but he has a review on the mob 6 2024
heads over at Infinity Loops he does a
lot of in store freestyle trick sort of
stuff uh and he hasn't been flying as
long so that there's a big variance to
that but I don't want people to come out
of the gate thinking that you're going
to be able to do some of the things
you're going to see on YouTube right
away just get comfortable and enjoy all
the flights I know that's a little bit
of an aside to this uh I just get a lot
of questions from people about
trying to make these things better right
out of the gate and I think that comes
from a place of Innocence where they
just haven't spent enough time flying
they see a video and they want it to fly
for them just like that and that's
really down to us I also have a short on
How to Train yourself from angle mode
which is self- stabilized into a Acro
mode and I'll put that down in the video
description as well as links to the HDs
or website will this will first launch
from as well as the Eco we didn't go
deep dive into the Eco cuz I think you
kind of shown it right showed you all
the camera settings showed you inside
outside we took a look at the the weight
um the hardware you got a chance to look
at close up close and personal the
hardware on both sides if that's of a
particular draw for you but if there's
more I need to investigate with the Eco
please let me know I'll probably put
this into probably an outdoor build uh
run this off the the five Vol rail the
5vt rail off of uh maybe I'll put it in
one of my favorite rocket a little 2in
2s those are awful fun it'd be nice to
have a nice light hd0 version and
because this board is so thin I think I
could mount it down lower and maybe keep
it below the prop line on that
particular tight quad so if you have any
questions about the hd0 Eco which I
think is what it's called hd0 Eco bundle
probably as well as the mobilia 6 Eco
2024 Edition please let me know in the
comments section below I appreciate your
time and thanks for watching head over
at iny flute
