A dentist with a passion for flying lightweight FPV drones he wanted something that could perform like a full-size FPV drone but was much smaller and lighter. Toothpick drones were started by Bob Roogi, aka KabobFPV. After seeing what they could do I had to build one myself.
Whoop drone meaning professional#
NurkFPV and Shen Drones developed a larger cinewhoop to carry a GoPro for more professional footage. People realized that these drones could be used to capture cinematic footage that no Mavic or Phantom was capable of. One records the HD or 4K footage and the other streams back a live analog FPV feed to your goggles. It looks a little goofy with the two cameras sticking out the front. The Eachine Cinecam was the first 4K version, ready-made version and was a giant hit. People started putting HD cameras on their Power Whoops and realized that you could get some spectacular footage from a little drone.
They took the few flaws that the original Tinyhawk had, fixed them and made it more powerful.Ĭinewhoops evolved from Power Whoops. It is a beefed-up version of the original Tinyhawk except that it has a more durable frame and it can handle a more powerful 2S battery. Personally I prefer the 2S versions as you can still fly them inside but have more power outside.Įmax again makes my favorite “Power Whoop” with the Tinyhawk S. Basically a Power Whoop is nothing more than a more powerful and often larger Tiny Whoop. People wanted to fly on more powerful 2S and 3S batteries. The Mobula 7 paved the way for small, lightweight but powerful whoops that could handle 1S or 2S batteries.
The “Tiny Whoops” grew bigger and bigger. Tiny whoops started to get bigger and faster. Emax even built the perfect beginner kit including the drone, remote, goggles, batteries, charger, and case for about $160. For about $90 it is an excellent place to start. My absolute favorite “Tiny Whoop” is the Emax Tinyhawk. They are often less expensive and you can pick up a good one often for less than $100. Tiny whoops often will weigh less than 30 grams without a battery. The rule of thumb is that a “Tiny Whoop” is a palm-sized drone and has a wheelbase of 65-75 mm and is limited to flying on a 1S battery. Tiny whoops started to evolve and became bigger and better. Soon Tiny Whoop became the generic term for any small ducted drone.
Tiny drone races started popping up around the country. It quickly became popular as it was extremely durable and could be flown indoors. Jesse Perkins started the Tiny Whoop craze by putting a camera on an Inductrix. It was made popular on inexpensive toy grade drones. They offer excellent protection and often help stabilize the drone, make it more efficient and even quieter. Ducts are a particular type of propeller guard. When someone refers to a whoop they are talking about a drone that has ducts. There are a lot of different types of FPV quads out there. The rotor riot guys coined the term kwad and that has become popular in the FPV community. To many pilots, the term drone carries a negative connotation and they just prefer the term quad. Sure we know that it could have more, but typically they have four. Quad being short for quadcopter, referring to the four propellers. Most FPV pilots don’t refer to their craft as a drone but rather a quad.
