Very tempting, the whoop-drones getting better and better.
With the cold weather it's not so fun to go out and fly. Got really sick last year from sitting out in the cold too long.
This thing is perfect for flying inside.

It is very tempting,these tiny whoop quads are getting amazing now,almost as good as the bigger ones. This one also looks very good.

Yes indeed, if I decide to get one, it will be that Mobula7. The other one's receiver is not EU compatible, so that's gonna suck with needing to add a receiver myself.
The Mobula7 is 2S capable, comes with 4 1S batteries, a 6way 1S lipo charger, and 1 set extra props.
I really wanted the other one is because I like the frame better, but can probably get a loose frame later and simply transfer the parts. In that case I would need to fix the motors to turn the proper way, but that's not too difficult. Other reason I found the TinyHawk interesting is because of the inverted motors, very curious how that flies because now there is nothing blocking the airflow. Normally the quad's arms cause disturbance, and with propguard there's even more disturbance from the standoffs.

Things have improved a lot since my little Hubsan s4...
At one of the Mobula7 videos I picked up a comment from Happymodel themselves saying within a month or so, there will be a V2 with sturdier frame. Think I wait a bit longer, though in my mind I'm already hovering the mouse over that purchase button.

TinyHawk: pros : Strong frame, more stability because of inverted motors cons: Only 1 S, need to solder on own receiver
Mobula7: pros : 2 S capable, more powerful, onboard receiver, lots of accessories cons: Weak frame, slight instability/vibrations from the propguard standoffs
Think I would buy a Mobula7, and eventually also a TinyHawk spare frame(only $9 at the Emax store link)

Mobula seems better value and is faster with 2s batteries ...until the tinyhawk 2 comes out .

Indeed, or that Mobula7 v2.
But seriously this is the main reason I put a brake on buying and building new stuff. Developments are going so fast, it's almost impossible to keep up.
Can't wait for the next gen racedrone flightcontrollers with AI assisted 3D flight.
