![]() ![]() ![]() Acrobatic Performance, capable of flips, rolls and fast climbs due to their power to weight.They are Efficient, with up to 4 minutes of flight from a tiny battery.Tiny size, making them ideal for flying indoors, through shelves, under desks, wherever.Slowly but surely each element of the craft was replaced as members of the FPV community chased performance and or efficiency improvements. The diminishing size of electronics also meant that quadcopters were also shrinking. The bind and fly Blade Inductrix shown above is supposedly the original base for the first Tiny Whoop. Camera/Transmitter units were stuck on-top and wired into the battery and the Whoop was born. The prevalence of miniaturised lightweight, low power camera/transmitter units led people like ourselves to 'FPV all the things' from small quadcopters to RC Drift cars and motorbikes. These features mean the drone can be used in new more challenging flight situations. Tiny flight controllers with integrated gyro's onboard give the craft a shallow learning curve. Micro in this case means really tiny, under 8cm in width and length and (ignoring antenna) just 5cm in height! The electric ducted fan (EDF) design not only protect the blades but makes for a more efficient propulsion system. The pilot can remotely control the drone whilst receiving a live feed from the front of the craft, displayed in a set of video goggles or on a monitor. The full setup generally consists of a quad copter frame with flight controller, motors, receiver, battery, camera (with mount and video transmitter onboard), then a transmitter and video receiver/display unit at the pilot end. Tiny Whoop is effectively an umbrella term for a micro brushed-motor quadcopter with an FPV camera and transmitter on-board. We also explain how you can get involved, whether you are a novice of an FPV pro! But what is a Tiny Whoop? In this blog we introduce the Tiny Whoop and show you how much fun it can be. On digital video systems a more detailed metadata stream can be sent.The Tiny Whoop craze took over forums and flight-clubs worldwide last year. ![]() Sometimes the transmitter might be connected to the flight controller, and overlay basic information. These would be a tiny analog FPV camera and a radio transmitter. In consumer drones these are often done from the same video feed, but enthusiasts often go for two unconnected cameras for simplicity. One is put the pilot in the drone’s ‘cab’ for First Person View (FPV) flying. What about cameras?Ĭameras on drones aren’t actually essential, though you don’t usually find one without. Features like gyroscopes and inertial monitoring might be built in or need additional sensors.ĮSC – Electronic Speed Controllers apportion the energy from the battery to each motor.īattery – a matter of balancing weight and power, and often strapped on with VelcroĪntenna – to receive controls and send them to the controller. Propellors – Different diameters, numbers of blades and other factorsįlight controller – The drone’s brain, tells the props what speed to operate at to stay level or to respond to controls. Motors – Four makes it a ‘quad’ like most drones A self-build cinewhoop will be made up of:įrame – a variety of sizes measured on the diagonal Delve a little and the hobby community is well established. Some people build model railways, some people follow sports statistics. ![]()
