We are happy to introduce the new member of the Smoov family!
Ring Magnets for an FPV drone? Yes! We here at team NewBeeDrone have been putting in countless hours to figure out how we can improve upon our Smoov-Certified freestyle motor. One that provides super smooth performance for freestyle and cinematic FPV while maintaining the durability and precision machining you've come to expect from NewBeeDrone. We are proud to say that we have done just that... again!
The 2306.5 Smoov V2 ring magnet motor has not only improved upon our very successful V1 motor, is now 3 grams lighter! It is constructed using a 7075 aluminum alloy unibell design for the best structural rigidity and comes with fully molded ring-style magnets. Ring motors are also easier to clean than traditional motors. Unlike traditional square magnet motors, the Smoov ring magnets have no physical spacing between the magnets to allow for quick and easy removal of dirt, grime, or anything you can manage to get into them.
Making a fully molded ring magnet with high magnetic flux density is at the heart of our design. We have developed a ring magnet that can hold up to N48SH levels! Ring magnets are typically used in camera gimbals because they need to operate silky smooth. Traditional gimbal motors are super smooth but they lack punch and power. The Smoov V2 motors have both, along with improved balancing and better performance. The Smoov V2 ring magnet motors have more punch, less weight, higher strength, and they're Smoover than ever!

I really like this radio but I had a gimbal stick pull out without any pulling on it. I've had this happen with other name brand radios so it's not a surprise or let down. A little super glue and right back at it. It feels great! I love the full sized gimbals! I have the zorro and the boxer but I think this one is the right fit for me.
Handy as a second transmitter for travel, tiny whoops, etc
Surprisingly good for the price especially with ELRS. It has just enough switches that I can do most of what I can with the TX16S, and it's so much easier to throw in a bag and go. My only wish is that I could put the thumb-grippies style of stick ends on it easily (and still remove them for storage), but maybe someone will come up with an adapter or similar. Next step is to try a Gemini ELRS nano module and see what kind of range is possible on that.
