Happymodel - Mobula7 O4

I bought this kit and loved it. The digital is clear and crisp. The batteries are decent, and flight times are around 3-4 minutes with average flight. I found the stock tune very nice and controllable. The frame did break after 4-5 pretty nasty crashes. I moved the equipmemt to a mobula 7 frame which has been great. The aio fc lasted about 100 packs and 10 pretty decent crashes. I moved to a happymodel x12 aio 5 in 1 and the 1s walksnail went to a 2 inch build. This does much better with battery life. The included motors have been bullet proof as far as I can tell. I would suggest moving to gemfam 3 blade props for this build and the quad feels much more steady and this upgrade is cheap. After flying this thing and various other 1 s quads the provided batteries plus 3 extra that I've purchased are just starting to show age after 8 months of use. I'm partial to the cost advantage of analog so my pick would be a mobula 7 with analog and 99$ pair of box goggles and skip the pocket and buy a radio master boxer instead. I still use walksnail so the goggles are worth it, but don't support reciever modules so they are only able to be used with walksnail vtx's

Search the group this is asked daily, generally you wanna start with a tiny whoop like a mobula 6 or 7, some cheap goggles and a RM pocket, get a controller first and start in the simulators, welcome to the hobby! As for analog and digital I personally find analog is fine but I'm also cheap AF

The betafpv air75 are nice and cheap and work great. Newbeedrone make great 75mm as well. Mobula7 is a bit old now. Just scale the throttle when inside, should be fine.

you can use the dji fpv controller 3 with the o4 air units! if you want to get something dedicated for elrs, the radiomaster pocket is an outstanding choice. in terms of drone/battery, the meteor75 o4 or the mobula7 o4 seem suitable for your purposes. you'll need 1s and 2s batteries respectively

i would go with meteor cause it's 20g lighter than the pavo. it's also bigger (80mm wheelbase) surprisingly. alternatively, you can run 2s with the mobula7, so there's some extra power in that..

Try a different model. Some seem a little floaty, others more brick like. I prefer the Mobula 7, which seems closest to my Air75.
