Whoop-Style Quads: Tiny Drones & Big Tech 🚀 – A Deep Dive into the Micro FPV World
The world of FPV (First-Person View) drone racing is exploding, and leading the charge are these tiny powerhouses we call "whoops." These aren’t your grandma’s drones; we’re talking agile, powerful machines packed with cutting-edge tech, all in a package that fits in the palm of your hand. The videos below showcase the incredible evolution of whoops, from early 1S brushed motors to powerful 2S brushless screamers capable of impressive speed and acrobatics. We’ll explore different models, discuss the pros and cons of various features, and even touch on the exciting world of cinewhoops, designed for capturing stunning aerial footage. Ready to dive into the micro FPV world? Let’s get started!
Key Takeaways: What You Need to Know About Whoops
2S Power is a Game Changer: Videos like the Happymodel Mobula7 and Eachine Trashcan reviews highlight the significant performance jump from 1S to 2S batteries. This extra power translates to more aggressive flying, faster speeds, and increased outdoor capability. We’re talking serious fun in a small package.
Durability Matters: The Grayson Hobby video emphasizes the importance of a robust frame, especially for beginners. Whoops are prone to crashes, so a durable build like the KingKong Tiny GT8 can save you time and money on repairs. No one wants a broken drone after their first flight!
CineWhoops: Capturing the World from a Micro Perspective: CurryKitten’s review of the iFlight CineBee 75HD showcases the exciting potential of cinewhoops. These tiny drones pack high-definitioncameras, allowing pilots to capture breathtaking footage in tight spaces. Think cinematic shots, only smaller.

Choosing the Right Whoop: The variety of whoops available can be overwhelming.

It’s all about finding the perfect fit for your flying style and budget. Don’t forget accessories like multi-battery chargers – always a good investment!
Even Beginners Can Get in on the Action: The Helifar H803 review demonstrates that whoops aren’t just for experienced pilots. User-friendly features like hand control via infrared sensors make these tiny drones accessible to newcomers.
The Future is Micro: Where Are Whoops Headed?
As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more powerful and feature-rich whoops. Imagine even smaller HD cameras, longer flight times, and improved stabilization technology. The possibilities are endless! With the growing popularity of cinewhoops, we’ll likely see further advancements in camera technology and image quality, potentially even 4K in the future. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see autonomous whoop racing leagues!

FPV Reviews: The Happymodel Mobula7 2S (and 1S) Whoop, supplied by BanggoodCurryKitten14,896 views | 336 | October 29 2018 18:00:02 (136 comments)[ Read more … ]
The Happymodel Mobula7 is one of the new 2S “whoop” style quads providing a serious upgrade in power from the normal 1S machines… but is 2s in a tiny quad too much power ?
This was supplied by Banggood for review, so here’s an (affiliate) link to the product https://www.banggood.com/Happymodel-Mobula7-75mm-Crazybee-F3-Pro-OSD-2S-Whoop-FPV-Racing-Drone-w-700TVL-Camera-BNF-p-1357971.html?p=E81211714085201408XQ&utm_campaign=714085&utm_content=3312
Banggood also have a Black Friday quadcopter promotion here https://www.banggood.com/promotion-BlackFridayRCQuadcopters-7148.html?fbclid=IwAR0u8G7GU9TwdtUDJA-cTCiMSnThhDhI6rKt8cDK6Q9WXabiLK6CyvxbvTc?p=E81211714085201408XQ&utm_campaign=714085&utm_content=3312
I’ve got a lot of comments asking about where to find the little jumped like the one I used. If you don’t have one in an old hard drive or a receiver, then check your local ebay. Here’s a UK based one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-PCB-Pin-Header-Jumper-Links-2-54mm-Motherboard-Cap-Black-UK-Free-Postage-/131439765750?_trksid=p5731.m3795 you can get them in quantities of 200 from China for the sale price, but if you are in a different country then use the keywords in the sale I’ve linked to so you can find them in your local eBay store (or something similar)
The basic version just contains the single USB charger, so it’s well worth spending just a little more for the standard version to get the 6-way charger.

Most Durable Mini Drone Racer For Beginners | 2S Brushless Whoop – FPV QuadsGrayson Hobby21,135 views | 249 | November 13 2018 17:58:37 (62 comments)[ Read more … ]
The smaller brother of the ET115 V2 is the Tiny GT8. The Tiny GT8 is the most powerful 2S whoop we have flown to date! Adding the super strong frame, this makes this the best 2S Whoop we can recommend. Larger enough to fly outside, but yet small enough to not attract any attention in smaller parks. The 2S whoop , GT8 , from KingKong is a great travel quad due to its awesome carrying case. If you are on the GO, add your X-Lite, GT8 and you are off.

iFlight, once again, demonstrate a beautiful design ethic in their whoop-style quads. But a Cinewhoop doesn’t just have to look that part, it has to perform – how will the CineBee do?

It’s another 2S whoop, this time from Eachine and looking and feeling very very similar to the Mobula7. Which is better ? I’ll attempt to find out.
