Unbelievably Tiny FPV Drone With DJI O3 On Board // HAPPYMODEL MOBULA8 DIGITAL HD
🕑 Added 2023-08-16 00:05:16 +0000 UTCThere's a new trend where people put the O3 air unit in a micro quad and forget about separate HD cameras altogether -- AND I'M ALL FOR IT. But how small can you get? The Mob8 HD puts the O3 in an 85mm Whoop. Can such a small quad carry the O3 with authority? Let's find out.

Can I use a Li-ion 2 battery clip with this? What would you recommend?

Sorry guys but it appears Patreon is giving relaly bad bitrate to the video. You can watch on YT in 4k. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over this.

Great review JB stay safe over there it's been a crazy weather this summer. I m leaving Maui for good I hope. It's just non stop wind. I'm also known as Winder.

The video looks a lot better when the quad isn't moving. At 15:39 when JB is talking about the batteries, the picture looks fine. Again, hopefully the problem is with the way Patreon compresses the video.

Wow, you're right. It looks awful. What the heck? The video prior to flight looks fine. Is the problem with the way Patreon compresses the video? Hopefully it will look better on YouTube.

Mathew, I think the video was limited by the server to 640 x 480 or something low quality like that. Normally with YouTube, you can tell it you want to watch in 4K even if that's not the default. This video didn't have that option and that's what I believe you were seeing. When the YouTube version of this video comes out, my guess is that it will be higher definition. It wasn't DVR because there was no OSD and there would be if he posted the DVR footage. Overall, when you consider the quality of 03, you can ascertain that this drone can do some cool stuff for those of us interested in getting the highest quality footage with the lightest possible foot(air?)print. It's great to see these new offerings tested because I will be getting one, just not sure which one yet. I have the Cinelog20 and love it, but I want to go smaller still.

is this dvr footage? it looks terrible for what should be 4K footage. this footage looks like HDzero not 03

FWIW I've found Happymodel email support to be surprisingly responsive, too.

I got the Mobula8 as my first FPV Quad. I put in a self-purchased O3 Air Unit. I had to tweak the calibration a bit for Horizon Mode to hover relatively flat (thanks for a previous video). I bought a ViFly Mini, but I learned about the DShot Beacon today (THANK YOU!!). I've done lots of sim time and did my first Acro flights with it and am having fun. I'm excited for some cooler days with more reasonable wind to do more flying.

Didn't NewBeeDrone just do a 75?

Combine that with the flywoo light o3 kit and this would go crazy!
