Review Eachine Tiny Qx95 95mm Micro Fpv Led

About

Hmmm multirotors....i haven't been actively flight FPV multirotors/quadcopter seriously for almost a year at present because its not my typical chocolate topping for my FPV ambition...non fun at all. Been there done that affair from roaming local places to zooming around betwixt trees, building and obstacles is getting quondam for me, too much prep work, rubber requirement and others thing to consider earlier flying around those flight chainsaw in the public places. As y'all all knew i took full season flying my FPV/UAV planes all over the entire country until at that place nothing left to find this twelvemonth. Then one day BANGGOOD.COM decided to cheer me upwards with their latest new gadget from their manufacturer EACHINE, weeks of waiting i got this cute tiny white box on my door step and opened. Like pirate opening treasure chest with those vivid glare of light spewing out of the box i was awe to see this carbon gem unfolds on my hand, it "EACHINE QX95 micro FPV racing drone"...95mm rotor to rotor size, total carbon fiber goodness, equipped with sophisticated electronics, FPV ready, tools, agglomeration of bombardment and spares..all i need is only bind and fly. Trivial those tiny carbon fiber build QX95 reminds me of the aforementioned feeling back in year 2001 when i had my optics on holding micro size over priced all the same top notch Japanese tech i:27 scale KYOSHO MINI-Z cars and ATOMIC MINI-Z....but those tiny R/C cars toll a month salary. Fast forward into present day here i am having the same feeling but with a drone fabricated in China..cheap/affordable. Btw they sent me BNF bundle which i can bind on my existing TURNIGY 9X radio nether FLYSKY (AFHDS) radio protocol. Their market cost tag was around USD$74 admittedly cheap considering the fact its a tiny top notch micro FPV racer with everything you need to get information technology flight in few minutes without ownership chargers, tools, spare and etc. Only use my existing radio unit and FPV video goggle and i'one thousand good to go. Staring in front of me this QX95 makes me felt like i accept been living in the caves for too long...i guess i've missed a lot of thing since i've been away on wings. Subsequently took this little guy for a spin indoor and outdoor i'm really impress...totally i did live in a cave for too long, don't let its size fool yous, this tiny little critters is fast and very active for its size. Handle nicely in slight current of air around the park, first-class size to slip around obstacles and tiny enough to hide inside my pocket. Honestly speaking this little guy spark back my interest in FPV drone racing during my free time and ended getting more pack of batteries to go along me staying more time effectually the park despite getting tanned under the afternoon lord's day. So let get to know nearly QX95...

Build, flight functioning and review.

This footling drone awe me in every way, its cheap effectually USD$74 and includes everything you need to go out and have fun racing around the circuit or between copse without throwing likewise much time to setup, throwing some cash for upgrades and spare parts. Everything is inside the box, pull information technology out and fly to your eye content without looked similar a loser. The quadcopter is 95mm in size rotor to rotor, fabricated in race ready grade carbon fiber chassis, fully programmable SP RACING EVO F3 flying controller which you can tuned to your demand via reckoner, 4x fast rotors, bright rear LED lights that functions to point flight status, comes with many type of receiver module to bind on your existing radio controller and also already include quality all in one FPV camera + five.8Ghz 25mw 32 channel video transmitters. Packet too include chargers and support 2x charging adapter, prop tools, spare motors and props. Manual besides nicely documented. Man how times flies by similar rocket later seeing all these squeamish stuff on QX95....specially those few jargon they speak of when tuning it on Clean Flight. (Sorry i was an APM and MultiWii oldie). Consider this: Lets flash back between 1 or 2 years agone, with USD$74 back then this budget can but get me a lousy toy course quadcopter with all wanna exist HD camera strapped into candy colored plastic chassis and got blown easily by the current of air still no FPV on it.... don't believe me perchance you can cheque those review i did final twelvemonth. I need to spend up to USD$150 to become decent FPV feel with extra work/mods on quadcopter toys and it flew irksome. If your first drone was a "LADYBIRD" from Walkera and WL-toys then i have bad news for you, you lot're really as dinosaur every bit i am. Today 2016, with USD$74~eighty you can buy out of the box elevation notch racer with total FPV and no need mods, modification or anything to tinker around your drone.....that saved your fourth dimension, coin and sweat building one....and it comes with spares and tools! If you're new into this drone racing and getting QX95 for starter i must say you lot're really damn lucky bounder generation, back in my olds days with that corporeality of coin we have to work difficult to brand a drone racer on par with today QX95 cost us about $200 but still haven't reach that level cause of low tech cheap iii axis gyro static flight controller and heavy camera. Kudos EACHINE! You guys did fantabulous making all those stuff affordable yet killer competition drone in this era. I guess my old FPV drones around my hangar should move into Museum forth with WW1 planes....also old to catch upward..even my 1 year sometime 250 racer look like shit when compare with this tiny precious stone. Moving on...

Flying the QX95 seems to be piece of cake and nicely leveled both indoor and outdoor give thanks to stock tuned SP RACING F3 EVO. I went to the park not far from my part and spent a week testing flight around obstacles, slalom around trees, speeding, nibble effectually the tree branches/leafs and some crashes amongst foliage of dead leaves...the brilliant LED did nifty job beaconing me toward its crash site visible within ten meters away nether vivid sunlight, without information technology its hard to find this carbon camo like appearance among dead leafs or grasses even on grey tarmac. For it size it is indeed fun and race capable little drone, for its size its fast enough to get some thrills betwixt narrow places without worrying hefty crashes and repair bills...way too tiny to cause any problem around the public space. I oasis't hit the throttle beyond lxxx% yet because i care for my QX95...hard feeling to let it run loose cannon balling around. It seems to wobble a bit when striking by some breeze around trees nonetheless yet level and in control overall its way easy to fly than my vintage Multistar combo 250 quad racer (Multiwii Pro flying controller) circa 2014 or cheappy DIY FPV drone from WL-toys and other reviewed FPV quads published at this website. Rudder style yaw cornering seems to be slow which drop a scrap of altitude subsequently fast dispatch point simply if cornering via "banking concern and yank" mode information technology could maintain speed smoothly without dropping the altitude. I did accidentally push 100% full stick on the aileron and elevator control and the QX95 did some ninja moves flipping around 360 caste what you guys chosen "gratis styling" flying stunts...executed and leveled nicely after the event. Simply if you're new into this don't push your luck, notice a big open infinite, go high and then push 100% command to flip out the ninja in you. If you think the handling and flying characteristic doesn't suit you well yous can further melody the QX95 using "Clean Flying" software which you tin download at http://cleanflight.com by plug the USB connection into the onboard "SP RACING F3 EVO" flight controller USB port that is hidden backside the LED board in the rear. Melody information technology from (Horizon, Rate and etc) docile, super agility, aggressive, gratuitous styling mode or go all ninja around the park all its up to yous for decide with a click of a push button on your estimator or Clean Flight apps on your smartphone. As for me i similar the QX95 equally it is out of the box is already perfect without the need for whatever tuning....of course i'm lazy to do so unless if information technology was an APM FC.

About runtime on stock 1s 600mah li-po; if dull hovering it took about 5 minutes while forward flight around the open space took virtually half-dozen minutes earlier its slows downwardly until the battery power depleted. I did buy some scattering of new pack of 1s 500mah li-po overall

gives me mixed 4~v.1/2 minutes of flight time thus 1x 500mah is way lighter than 600mah so not much weight lifting stress to the rotor. FYI hovering consume more ability than forward flight considering it keep fighting gravity during hovering which explained such shorter runtime while forwards flight have extra wind lifting pressure on the prop bract which give natural extra hovering assist similar an airplanes and less stress load to the rotors. I exercise detect that QX95 is very sensitive to weight changes with additional extra gram of loads, not a expert performer carrying anything beyond extra +5 gram of weight which kills extra flight time and hovering performance..information technology tend to be bouncy with actress weight when i added a heavy JST battery adapter to connect alternative bombardment that uses unlike plug. Speaking virtually improvement via weight reduction y'all can remove that rear LED board to reduce weight and lowered overall ability consumption that was used to blink around in the rear..the Cons is that if you do crash into some grass especially thick foliage of dead leaves on the footing its hard to rails down its where most. Throttle sound helps but you lot'll ruin the props if its upside down, and so its your choices to go with or without LEDS.

Talk about the flight distance adequacy especially the FPV video range coverage on stock 25mw ability i must say i'g extremely satisfied with the make clean video frequency as seen inside my classic BOSCAM GS920 FPV video goggle. Its clean, less artifact or static backside trees about or approximately nearly 70~100 meters away from me behind some obstacles every bit i roam effectually the park. Some people in the forum QX95 discussion group decided to go for 200mw upgrade for quality video range but based on my experience and stance i don't think its necessary considering the higher MW rating the more than its suck out the power from the primary battery robbing yous effectually thirty~lx seconds of flight time on QX95. 200MW indeed will give you lot more than 900~1000m video distance range but stop and recall about information technology because the onboard radio receiver have less range than video, control range will quit long earlier video does and with a quadcopter that tiny you'll lost it in dense vegetation and almost out of reach if you crash it. Non worth it if your pocket is deep and dry out. Its a racing drone non a long distance explorer...get a proper drone to do the right job if you want to go outside the comfort zone. Oh btw if you were wondering why my QX95 live recorded FPV video footage on youtube have too many static and craps along the way because i recorded it using low quality/crappy FPV POCKET DVR that exist long before drone racing technology exist, so my bad on that until i get a proper recorder. Trust me the real live footage is super make clean, else go observe a buddy that owns a QX95 at your local place and endeavour em out.

In that location are some optional modification and improvement you can do if you lot do buy QX95 because afterwards some flight i practise notice some fix needed to improve it as listed below:

1. FPV camera/transmitter unit held by safe band which is good for dampens frontal bear on, however the camera POV ever get tilted downwards by accident during flight especially subsequently bumping some twigs, branches, during landing or crashes. If this annoys yous it can be fixed permanently in identify with a sparse naught tie, information technology won't effect overall performance...simply don't crash hard.

2. If you lot received BNF version with FLSKY radio receiver module (AFHDS protocol) it actually comes with annoying thin hairline copper antenna which 100% will accidentally become detached during flight and will causes your drone to lost some radio range, out of control and wing away because this type of radio receiver module don't have failsafe. I had mine detached during flight, so i supersede it with using spare WIFI 2.4ghz antenna trunk and pull out the core wire and then cut it at 31mm length then soldered back to the receiver lath. You can run across the differences on my Office 2 and 3 video where the antenna have been replace on the receiver module thus giving me good range almost ninety~300m...but i haven't push my luck across that distance even so...i recall it tin can fly further more since i apply TURNIGY 9X radio transmitter.

About immovability problems other than popular off receiver antenna (FLYSKY version) so far i haven't had whatsoever serious broken/damaged parts despite it did fall on the park tarmac, hit some trees and branches. The carbon frame held well with parts intact. But yes of class i did torn 1x rear propeller blade after nick around some tree branches after dozen session of flight which is easily replaceable using supplied bag of spare props, installation is easy by hands without using the supplied tools. However don't become also self hitting and crashing around because lots of QX95 possessor did broke their rotor arm and mended some gear up using patch of epoxy, strips of plastic credit menu reinforcement, gettho DIY fixes or buy spare carbon frame online which is why in the video i didn't go beyond eighty% throttle or even so full blast because i notwithstanding love and care my QX95....i'm in tight budget for spares.

To extend the lifespan of QX95's Coreless brushed motor its wise and adept practice to exit it cool downward for 5 minutes before and after session of flight considering the motor volition become hot during flight and required to cool downwards before continue with new pack of battery. Heat is bad for brushed motor and magnet core within which can crusade wear and tear the brush contact mechanism within the shiny motor cylinder can. If its a 'brushless' motor and then y'all wouldn't need to. I had many brushed type mini/nano FPV quads that survives 5 years of flight operation yet the motor runs well with no sign of habiliment and tear nor need any replacement thanks to proper five minutes rest between flying to cool off the heat from the motors. Fortunately if you lot're then unlucky the package already comes with 2x motors to help with the replacements.

Summary

If you like to start backyard drone racing or getting clandestine carpark racing without breaking the bank this tiny and all the same mighty little drone does the job, serious its fun size to take one. Honestly speaking i would love to have another 1 if i had a spare greenbacks (...yep i'one thousand working on information technology). You lot all knew that i'm a stock-still wing airplane guy who honey to fly around the clouds not much into drone racing on 4x rotors but after had opportunity to tryout QX95 a week afterward i was all hooked upwardly and flew almost daily when i had an opportunity between the timetable. If you do planning purchase QX95 BNF bundle i highly recommended y'all get the FRSKY (ACCST radio protocol) version not FLYSKY (AFHDS radio protocol) and stay away from DSM2 (SPEKTRUM radio protocol) if y'all desire failsafe feature and sturdy radio signal especially flying around the neighborhood or WIFI crowded urban expanse. Originally i suppose to received the FRSKY version simply they accidentally sent me FLYSKY version instead. Else if you stuck with wrong BNF packet no worries because at BANGGOOD.com or other online places they do sell micro/nano size receiver that matched your radio for under USD$10 for quick fix. Else but go to the RCgroups QX95 discussion threads

To sum up overall review; the EACHINE QX95 is an ideal platform for whatever FPV drone racer both newbie, starters to Pro level in a way that everyone tin "grow" with it without sacrificing money, time, effort and you tin fly anywhere without conflicting with local/public regulation due to its size. "Small" means "More than" Its already packed everything you need all in the box, what's left is your flying skills that counts. (Oh btw purchase proper digital/computerized charger if you wanted proper full charge the battery) . Throughout the years i'g building FPV models and then to UAV shrinking from bigger size to smaller flying platform every bit years progress forward, portability and limited infinite to fly is paramount factor for most FPV'er, this QX95 came in the right time and perfect size to keep any FPV pilot to stay active everyday indoor and outdoor...........damn happy to have a tiny rocket racer in my pocket. You lot'll be seeing more of my video popular-upwards soon on this tiny racing drone, damn happy i am.
