EMAX Tinyhawk II
Score: 79/100
EMAX Nanohawk 1S
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Nanohawk 1S is an ultra-light 65 mm brushless micro quad with high-KV motors and a premium RunCam Nano 3 camera. Its trade-offs include a modest 300 mAh battery and low VTX power that limit flight time and range. Best for skilled indoor racers seeking maximum agility.
The EMAX Tinyhawk II Freestyle BNF is a micro FPV racing drone delivering 120 km/h top speed and a carbon-fiber frame for aggressive freestyle flying. Its drawbacks are the need for a specific FrSky D8 transmitter, a ham-radio license, and relatively short flight endurance. Ideal for experienced acro pilots seeking high performance in a sub-250 g package.

Professional reviewers highlight the Tinyhawk II Freestyle's natural handling and power-to-weight ratio, noting it feels like flying a full-size 5-inch quad while staying sub-250 g. The upgraded VTX and higher-quality camera are praised for delivering a clearer FPV experience, and the drone's quiet operation is seen as a bonus for indoor use. However, experts caution that the platform is geared toward acro pilots, lacks angle-mode friendliness, and requires specific FrSky D8 compatibility and a ham radio license in North America.
Everyday users consistently commend the drone's aggressive performance, durable build, and the included Avan Rush propellers that provide excellent grip for freestyle tricks. Common praise centers on its power, responsiveness, and quiet operation. Recurring complaints focus on limited flight time, the need for a ham radio license, and incompatibility with newer FrSky ACCESS transmitters, making it less suitable for beginners or those without the required hardware.
Professional editors praise the Nanohawk as EMAX's lightest and most powerful 65 mm brushless micro, noting its high-KV motors, premium camera, and crash-resistant frame.
While formal user reviews are scarce, unboxing videos and community chatter highlight enthusiasm for the included charger, spare parts, and the drone's nimble indoor performance.
