Tiny Hawk Tinyhawk 3
Score: 68/100Rankings
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.
The Tinyhawk 3 RTF Kit is a 75 mm indoor FPV racing drone bundle that includes goggles, a transmitter and a 450 mAh battery, delivering a lightweight 29 g dry weight and 56 kph top speed. Its trade-offs are a short flight duration and low-power VTX that restrict outdoor use. Best suited for absolute beginners and indoor racers seeking an all-in-one solution.

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.
