The World's Lightest 75mm Whoop is AMAZING!

What happens to the performance of a 1S whoop when you make it HALF the weight of a typical BNF? Let me show you! It's pretty amazing! Links and custom tune below...

The Easy Way to Build (but not as light):
If you want an easy build, just get a Meteor65 or Mobula6 and swap the parts onto a 75mm frame with 40mm props. Try 19,000KV or 19,500KV combined with my custom tune. It will be good, but not as good as my 16.8g version. For that, you'll have to build it up from components (see below):
- Meteor65 BNF (from BetaFPV: bit.ly/2KvavJT, from GetFPV: bit.ly/2QtWpvZ)
- Mobula6 (bit.ly/3mInNTI, or bit.ly/2wGRtw7)
Full Parts List (as seen in this video):
- Mobula7 V2 Frame (bit.ly/3eg3MRr, or bit.ly/3kGqm8m)
- Happymodel EX0802 19,000KV Motors (bit.ly/366Jnej, or bit.ly/2TIDAFH)
WARNING: The EX0802 motor wires are just barely long enough. Do not cut them shorter! You will need every mm of wire. I suggest pulling them out of the connector and then cutting off the crimped part, preserving as much of the wire length as possible.
- BetaFPV F4 1S FC (the one I used) (bit.ly/3mLDHwZ, or bit.ly/2m2JX9e)
- Alternative FC: BetaFPV F4 1S FC with built in VTX (bit.ly/360DJtO)
- Alternative FC: CrazyBee F4 Lite 1S FC with built in VTX (bit.ly/34JB8oG, bit.ly/2H3XJjq)
- HQ 1.6x1.6x4 Props w/ 1mm shaft (bit.ly/3mGOqbP, or bit.ly/2TD6Rln)
- Runcam Nano3 Camera (bit.ly/39w6QFK)
- NamelessRC Nano VTX (bit.ly/30VLksU)
- E6000 Glue (amzn.to/358DX3m)
- U.FL extensions cut to make custom VTX antenna (amzn.to/2UoTOFg)
- RENY M1.4 4mm motor screws (bit.ly/2P0JOzT)

This will be great in a few years when FAA has a sub 19g regulation 😮

[@RydalS]

You meant that as a joke, but it is sadly true. I'm from the future, trust me.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Don't worry - the FAA doesn't care about fpv drones less than a few lbs. They are genuinely concerned about safety with larger drones colliding. Even egregious 'violoations' are just met with a phone call. They aren't going to fine you unless you are literally racing in a runway. Also, covered area like inside a home aren't legally controlled by the FAA. The FAA has no incentive to fine regular people and they almost never do it.

[@RydalS]

@@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 so you're saying we don't need to obey the rules as long as they're not enforced.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

@@RydalS I'm saying that just because there is a fence, doesn't mean you are trespassing when you stick you finger through it. The FAA has to draw a line somewhere. The motivation is because they need legal ground to stand on when someone is doing FPV over a runway.

[@nara4420]

The FAA will never know if you do acro with this in your toilet-cabin 🤣

[@pjw57yt]

I fly a Mavic Mini and this clip reminded me of what it feels like being at a bar, sitting next to an F-18 pilot, and knowing the most exotic plane I've ever flown is a Cessna 172. And most of my time was in a 150. The actual footage, indoors and out was mind-blowing. I laughed out loud the first time it went under your chair in the backyard. And... you built it. Very impressive.

[@felixfpv7872]

This is insane! I love people who push the boundaries and keep innovating our hobby. Thanks for that!

[@haustiersteinfpv9181]

Thank you sooo much! I've flown my 65mm whoop since a year and I liked it but I always wanted more power and controll to do indoor freestyle. I almost bought an 2S 85mm powerwhoop but thank God that I found your video before that. It flies amazing. I love everything about it. The sound is so much nicer than on the 65mm at the same weight. So much control and throttle resolution is incredible.

[@Crftbt]

I love this! Thank you for sharing. I love getting more performance out of 1S and 2S.

[@fpvdjaj977]

Sounds like a fun winter project!

[@Dad_K]

This is sick!! I love your ingenuity; very much inspiring to see how far we can push innovation in this ever growing hobby. Thank you!

[@revsonsrc9573]

I haven't flown in months and must say this makes me want to build again! Thanks for all this wonderful info

[@ferdifant_fpv686]

Love it! I really believe in the 1s toothpick and whoop class, because its so simple...

[@ruftime]

Thanks Nate! Another great recipe❤️ Happy flying everyone!

[@bcc1955]

Great build, thanks for sharing!

[@Alejandro388]

yours and uavtech are THE key channels to watch these days, Thanks a million!

[@skyhackerfpv7104]

This is awesome. I love the whoop class, you're doing some amazing things here. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@gryfandjane]

Now that’s an exciting build. The proof is in the performance, and wow, you’ve nailed it!

[@AGILISFPV]

Just wow. Excellent job and thanks for sharing!

[@ndmfpv1776]

Great job dude! That thing flies amazing!!

[@nadieselgirl]

Thanks for this video, very informational! I've been trying to optimize a TinyHawk II with some success, using 16340 batteries sometimes with a tiny voltage doubler attached. Now I am inspired to try one going just for weight and simplicity. This video will be my guide, thank you!

[@doncunningham2295]

Thank you Mr Shutterbug! This is now on my winter project list for this year. Can't wait!

[@skinnyed69]

Fantastic! Stunning results...

[@Theowlwas]

Amazing! Great job on this build. Your dedication is inspiring

[@MariomasterNSMBHD]

Really impressive. This will certainly be my next build!

[@MADCOWVT]

Super cool! Thanks for all the info and dedication on this project.

[@rickkmurray]

just finished building this and it's my first drone into the hobby. Loving how it handles and flies. Thanks for leaving specs and how you built it.

[@250_fpv7]

I never had a Tiny Whoop but now i wanna hve one. I'm really impressed by your flight footage. How stable it looks and how controlable it seems to be.

[@dougmcpheters1546]

Man-O-Man!!! Excellent build!!!

[@kydawg1684]

Looks super fun. Great work.

[@noobFPV]

Wow. That flies amazing.

[@fpvhawk]

8min and this power is impressive!

[@badassdrones778]

Impressive build and super fluid pilot style, well done

[@profex85]

Thanks Mr shutterbug

[@garyteano3026]

Really impressive, great job!

[@jandomingo9806]

Wow!! For a 1s... thats insane power... u can hear it.

[@sixtofive]

That's a impressive build!

[@fpvcruzer]

Honestly, I don’t know what is more impressive, your build or your flying skills. I am totally inspired! But I will probably start with the meteor 65 mod. As others have said thanks for your passion and innovation!

[@koala2052]

amazing built and great flying!

[@alexmoil6256]

Nice, as Always... You try new ways

[@MrgnUTube]

That is just amazing! Thank for the review :)

[@matthew04101]

this is so cool. i love it.

[@skyfauxfpv]

Sick! I'm building this for the winter months.

[@smallmodelcollector]

Most impressive flying skills and sweet mods; thanks!

[@sanderienoes]

I did something similar to my tinyhawk 2: remove canopy, cut quad-blades into biblades, remove led,s, and flash Jesc software in to the esc,s. On cruising i can pul 7 minutes out of a 550mah 1s lipo. Realy like your build and the incredible low weight of it! Keep that whoops going!

[@burtmcgurt3584]

OMG...love this!

[@zorianfpv]

Really great explanation

[@Max_0578]

At 16.8g that thing is absolutely nuts! Looks like it has no problems flying acro outdoors. Thanks for the video Nate!

[@housinit]

I love these builds you do, great frikkin' job! I have all of these parts except those motors, I have the older version of them. I'm gonna have to try a similar build. Thank you Nate!

[@Cre8ionz.]

FYI 9:10 min The Mobula6 motors @ 19kkv are ~1.93 g ( ~0,16 g heavier..) 9:23 min Mobula6 Motors 19kkv = ~7,72 g ( ~0,66 g heavier...)

[@bitsky666]

this is really awesome

[@WendysNuts4u]

wow, it rips nicely on 1s! impressive!

[@TheOneTheyCallDean]

This reminds me of the lightness and efficiency of a hummingbird. You can almost get a sense of how they must feel when they are flying. Very cool my friend. 😊🌎✨

[@ashingashinga]

Awesome video man.

[@MrShutterBug]

One thing I forgot to mention is the fact that the EX0802 motor wires are just barely long enough. Do not cut them shorter! You will need every mm of wire. I suggest pulling them out of the connector and then cutting off the crimped part, preserving as much of the wire length as possible. Also, the tuning info was missing from the video description at first, but it has been added. Happy building! I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!

[@terence79chan]

Impressive work! No detail was spared. M going down your route but with an 85mm in order to carry a nano nerd 3D cam for stereoscopic FPV.

[@evilc2048]

I am working on a project (Carbon fibre frame, 3D printed nylon prop guards) and I think I could potentially do a frame in the same dimensions maybe as low as 3g. PM me if interested, would be happy to share CAD files etc with you.

[@biglouinorlando]

Correct me if I'm wrong: The FC is mounted backwards, is there a particular reason why? That would also mean the motors would have to be remapped, correct? Thanks again for sharing this work.

[@DrawdeThePotato]

Is there any way to build something like a swarm of drone.... Like 5 or 10 of This type of drone but all connected by a powerful brain(PC) wirelessly so you could like switch between one drone and another.... then they all would be in sequence in the air but if the battery is only enough to return it send a signal to star a new drone to replace it place then the low battery drone go to a wireless charger...since the battery is so small they could recharge rather quickly... only a random thought I have.

[@DrawdeThePotato]

And another crazy idea....why drones brains need to be dedicated motherboard.... can't they just strap a phone and be done with the hardware of the phone....?

[@jamiegerrard2129]

Outstanding, that thing fuc&in rips!!!

[@InfrastructuraRomania]

Well done, great upload!

[@RubyS.1]

Crazy to watch the voltage it just barely creeps down

[@thongdtk3]

amazing job

[@oziumentisis]

Just getting into the racing/freestyle, got myself a Meteor75 to learn and what a blast indoors and out. Got a new sub! Loving the hobby!

[@fairlyfunctional2236]

wow! that was the sickest 1s flight i think i've ever seen. you're one hell of a pilot. i had to build the shutterbug 85,now i have to build this one.lol. i've already ordered the parts.

[@Xplicit_fpv]

This was a amazing vid. It flys sooo good! Love the flight times! Im impressed

[@ls4life544]

Amazing driving!! Wao this build performed creat. Grate video.

[@MrPrr0]

Amazing video and build, also both flights were amazing

[@JeromeDemers]

nice work!! thanks for the tips! Just got 2in of snow so it's time!

[@tarkusxfpv8010]

I approve this one ! Love that we can hear these screaming props ! and awesome flight time ! Gj Shutter

[@fpvraver]

Absolutely amazing!!!!! I’m sure your probably on this but I’d like to bring it up just in case you didn’t think of it. Solder joints : You probably already thought of this but here goes. The only way I see that you can take more weight from these builds is low weight solder joints. Less solder used to build or possibly there is lighter solder?????? At this weight every little bit helps as you have said👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

[@bcc1955]

Have sourced bits for similar build. Plan to make assembled electronics removeable from the topside. Not wanting to spend $20 on Remy screws, so plan to use 8x tippet & flyfishing knot to secure each motor :-) Need to compromise weight a tad to work with stock TBS Tango transmitter which is so nice for traveling.

[@RcAircraft]

Great Video Quads are not my thing, But watch this video all the way to the end as it was interesting seeing how you saved weight improved prop efficiency making choices on different boards and motors and tweaking the programing of the board. Even removing plugs, sockets and insulation from the wire. Which is similar to what would be done for indoor flying planes. To get the best out of a airframe. Loved it.

[@tommiewilliams1383]

Outstanding job!! Those can be a lifesaver For The military .

[@KitelessRex]

Stumbled across you via KZbin recommended video link. Great flying, great presentation, great build. Subbed! Cheers!

[@medrone7097]

It came up on Bardwell’s 12/8 stream (1 hour in) that Happy Model is releasing a similar model to this. Several of us gave you a shout out and he gave you a lot of great complements. Enjoy your vacation!

[@jagergerg9771]

That is insane flying

[@CycloneFPV]

Excellent video...and most of all, excellent attitude. Well done!

[@BallPingFpv]

I love it awesome build!!!

[@maxsinventions8913]

[@Jpandes]

That’s awesome!

[@MindRiderFPV]

Amazing work.

[@sincostan3566]

thanks bro

[@davidgann3251]

Just bought my first whoop! I got the Mobula6 and extra 75mm frames and props. Once I learn the Mobula6, then I can do the upgrades! Outstanding video and content!!! Mr Shutterbug is one of the best pilots I've seen on KZbin, he makes it look easy. Inspiring! Wondering if the tunes are similar to the Project Mocking bird setup? I am anticipating that chasing squirrels in my yard will be a lot of fun!

[@MontisTube]

Fast and agile! Great whoop!

[@L2HfT]

Great job man!!

[@goGooNsQuad]

New to the hobby, this was my first build and oh boy this thing rips!!! I have not done any tuning or setup bidirectional dshot/RPM filtering. Ended up using the CrazyBee X V2.2 F4 200mW VTX AIO board and came in at 19.1 grams **need those RENY screws**. I got around a 5:40 hover test with a 300mah battery! Thanks for sharing your build and pushing the hobby forward!

[@MrShutterBug]

Awesome! Welcome to the wonderful world of FPV! :-)

[@michaelpetale6872]

Wow bro I was getting fed up with the tinywoops scene! But now oh my!!!😁😁😁👌👌👌👌👌

[@DMarko22]

Can't wait till they produce that 😄 But everything looks amazing when you fly it! Amazing concept.

[@bushythebird]

Sick man. You are truly dedicated. Subbed.

[@JTesoro21]

Another GAME CHANGER! Is this the Shutterbug Jr? Thanks for all the build and tune info 🤙🏽 I need to tell Zhong to start producing whoop biblades!

[@mikeyz8775]

Woot. The beautiful pacific north west!

[@andrebalsa203]

Amazing !

[@marielizysurourcq]

always interesting to see your efforts at lowering weight and getting high performance. i'm convinced. thanks ! I'm wondering whether I could have fun LOS since it's always banking hard (note : quite noisy for a 1S)

[@uavtech]

22:00 - thanks for the shout out!! That is awesome that you got so much more time from the filter adjustments. Awesome ripper!!

[@MrShutterBug]

Of course! I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Thanks for what you do!

[@brendawg8002]

Nice video, really enjoyable to watch.

[@biglouinorlando]

Parts are orders, I'm moving to a new neighborhood and don't know how receptive the neighbors will be about my quads. I can build this fly it around the yard with out raising to many concerns from the new neighbors. Thanks for the great video and info.

[@nyclassic4ever130]

How did it go? Lol

[@OnepackFpv]

Just built mine. At 19 grams flew amazing in my tiny garage last night. 1am had to. Soldering the motors was a major B. Thank you.

[@marlonsyma5859]

Amazing video 🤟

[@RCinginSC]

Thanks for all the great weight saving tips. I plan to implement as many as I can on existing and future builds. 🤘😎👍🇺🇸

[@faroukfpv2057]

very nice tiny build !!!!

[@Happy_FPV]

This is amazing! I know there are some other knowledgeable names in the fpv world. But you’re topic on the sliders in the tuning of the quad I’ve actually found that tuning all of mine by pulling those sliders back that I get more flight time. In fact after tuning my daily 5” freestyle cl1 frame with the mamba f405 mk2 I now get over 4 minute flights if I’m not straight hammering the throttle the whole time. I can’t wait to try and build something similar to what you’ve done. I’ll probably go a little more robust on it for durability but I’m sure I won’t be far off what you’ve done.

[@ThatEsepe]

Quads just keep getting more amazing

[@ferb7452]

Love it thank you
