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!

Right away, this is the best 65mm Whoop I know. Not even close.
I ordered two, one is more or less stock, just the PEEK motor screws and V3 cockroach. The second is upgraded to 0702 27000kV but will go back because I like the 25000kV more because of smoother throttle response and perfect betaflight tune.
Now the but:
1. On both quads I had to replace the BeeEye for a spare one because both are out of focus.
2. the yellow props were way too loose and very brittle. I lost two on my maiden. Black, blue and red are very tight (too tight for such a fragile prop) but if you get them on without bending them, they will last.
3. why does the quad not come with the lighter frame right away?
4. PH2.0…. You know the drill.
On that price point, even after the frame and PEEK upgrade I can forgive these quality issues. Especially considering the great tune and quality FC and motors. But be sure to order a replacement cam and props right away.
This was kind of a late night lark. I'd seen this upgrade for the Mk3 for a while and pondered whether it was a gimmick or not, and I'm pleased to say it's a genuinely good upgrade. It has reduced the noise of my Mk3 considerably. I haven't noted any significant increase in print quality, but the old drone of the bed is gone and that's completely worth it.
