FrSky Apus MQ60 V2 – what’s new?
Frsky has released second version of their tiny whoop – Apus MQ60 V2. What has been changed? This is going to be the most booring news post – FrSky hasn’t upgraded a thing on this new Apus MQ60 V2! Look at the specifications – they are exactly the same as for APUS MQ60 V1 . Well, actually, they do have changed something – changed the 4-bladed props to 3-bladed and updated the VTX firmware to disabled some of the frequencies to comply the FCC regulations. Last year the FCC has imposed a $180,000 civil penalty on GetFTP (Lumenier Holdco LLC) for selling the non complient video transmitting devices. Some of them were transmitting on the frequencies that fell outside the permissible amateur bands. Most probably FrSky has discontinued the V1 and made a new V2 version just to comply theese regulations.
Also motors were changed to 19000KV ones. FrSky has changed the motor supplier (Thanks Joe, for the reminder).
Here is the VTX frequencies list for APUS MQ60 V1:
And this is the updated VTX frequencies list for APUS MQ60 V2:

There is one major change and that is that the V2 has 19000kv motors. Kind of a big detail for your to overlook in your “article”.
Thaks for the information! On the time of writing this “article” I’ve contacted the FrSky to get more details on what was changed/upgraded besides the props and changes in VTX for FCC complience. They said “-Motors were changed“. I asked what exactly has changed in motors and got an answer “-We have changed the motor supplier“. 🙂 So I thought this is not a real change and omitted this info in this “article”.
Thanks again and I will fix this inacuracy in the “article”.
Awesome! Sorry for the snarky quotes, that was probably unnecessary. Feel free to delete and thanks for the correction.
Thank you for reading and for your feedback! Really appreciate it.
