World's Smallest & Lightest HD Whoop | Beta65X HD

[@MrShutterBug]

Update: In this video I said that the latency didn't bother me. That's largely because I was flying with gradual turns in an open park. When I flew indoors I definitely noticed the latency a lot more, and the weight/momentum makes it tricky to handle in tight spaces. So there are trade-offs for sure.

[@davidhazell8154]

Is there likely to be a way to get this thing to handle better with a betaflight 4.3 tune up?!

[@atreyu-gt7wj]

Awesome vid! Wish I had more parks with wood chips instead of sand. Sand sticks to the motors like magnets.

[@cesargurc911]

Very good video, I like these little drones and more in hd, that the engines warm up, they do not force themselves when rising

[@AgustinMolini]

First to get this out there. BIG thanks to you!

[@betawi_fpv1080]

In Indonesian we have tinywhoop brushed 65mm 4k

[@andyschannel5845]

Micin HD 😀

[@bombetdavid]

Oh wow 🤩

[@SKYnewsBlue]

Yesss!!! Thanks alot m8. Keep up the hard work, LOVE from the middle east, subbed.

[@DOHCtorMiguel]

Great video! Would I be able to buy just the camera and mount on my Meteor 75?

[@mikelaw628]

Nice review. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of buzzer pads on the FC. Any recommended work-around ? Thanks

[@3DMOFO2020]

Awesome job on the flight Nate I would love for you to do a HD Sutterbug75 with the parts from this whoop IMHO.

[@MrShutterBug]

I'm pretty confident that you could swap these exact parts onto a 75mm whoop and have something good, but I haven't tried it yet. Hopefully I will eventually have time to show my favorite 75mm formula but it'll be different. ;-)

[@張德銘-x4h]

Mr ShutterBug As a beginner, I just got this tiny whoop yesterday. Haven’t fly it yet due to transmitter issue. After watching your video, I started searching for a 75mm frame right away. Ha! Any recommended 75mm frame that fits? Thanks!

[@Gusgus801]

What’s the flight time on one of those?

[@MrShutterBug]

2-3.5 minutes depending on how much throttle you use.

[@Gusgus801]

Mr ShutterBug that’s pretty good for a hd tiny whoop!

[@gonebdg]

​@@MrShutterBug can you please try with 2x Gaoneng/GNB 250mAh ? (lighter) I know ... it require you to change the connector from BT2.0 to PH2.0 I'm loyalist of GNB 250mAh for tinyWhoop .. hahaha

[@ZPFunk]

How does it handle low light?

[@MrShutterBug]

Don't know yet. I've only had time for a few flights, but I wanted to get this initial info out quickly.

[@ZPFunk]

@@MrShutterBug I appreciate it, Pete was thinking about getting a few in at Rekt, this helps a lot!

[@LukeYangTW]

Thanks for the great video. Wondering if 65x support live audio to Fatshark goggles so you can hear the noise from motor during fly?

[@MrShutterBug]

No, I don't think there is an audio line-out that could go to the vtx (and thus to the goggles). Even if there was, it would sound awful.

[@NotJustinFPV]

Looked like the camera was pretty solid inside the canopy but like you said, there are no screws. How is it held in there?

[@MrShutterBug]

The DVR board is mounted on the stack with screws. The camera is held by a small plastic bracket that screws upward into the canopy, like the VTX.

[@MaxBeamer]

Why is RSSI so bad??

[@MrShutterBug]

Range was pretty short on this one. I think the electronics must cause interference with the built-in receiver. If you want to go far, I would get the crossfire version or get the PNP version and add whatever Rx you want.

[@MaxBeamer]

Mr ShutterBug interesting was yours a prototype? Albert just said his kept randomly failsafing wonder what it is 🤔

[@King-gp4ub]

hello, what propellers did you use? They look different from the originals. Do you have a link?

[@MrShutterBug]

Yes, those look to be the same. I’ve had pretty good luck with the Gemfan whoop props myself.

[@Xplicit_fpv]

Very cool

[@michaelisrael1368]

Great review. How does the camera get switched on and off? Does it turn on when you arm it? Also do you have to remove the SD card to read it or can you plug the quad itself in to the PC?

[@MrShutterBug]

Michael Israel there’s a little button on it to start and stop recording. The card has to come out to get the files. Cheers.

[@michaelisrael1368]

@@MrShutterBug Cool man thanks

[@droneready8278]

Awesome review.

[@Derederi]

Hi Mr ShutterBug, Could you pls recommend a fairly cheap whoop build for beginners. The HD cam and your 75mm suggestions seems promising... Could you tell more please? Anyway I just found your channel. Subbed right away! :-)

[@ronniequalls7217]

I just found this drone on EBay, brand new , I had to grab it ! lol 😂

[@BornIIfly]

Damn I fried my HappyModel M6 FC 🤦🏻‍♂️. But I‘ll get it fixed 🤔 repaired 😉 with HD. Cool review, take care & stay safe 🤓😉😘

[@FilipRadelic]

I don’t understand how they managed to get to 32g 🧐 how heavy is that canopy?

[@MrShutterBug]

The official product page says that it's 30g. I guess the final canopy must be lighter than the painted blue canopy that I have.

[@FilipRadelic]

@@MrShutterBug Makes sense. Still room for Shutterbug65HD-ing it 😉

[@scootroter4859]

What's the weight of the who0p without a battery? Thanks!

[@MrShutterBug]

Mine is 32g without a battery. That's heavy for its size, but light compared to previous HD whoops.

[@scootroter4859]

@@MrShutterBug Yeah, super light! Well, That newest Emax who0p is a portly 31g without HD! :(

[@DigitalArt-e3t]

The eye effect is very noticeable.

[@2kcheetah]

How was the lag / latency?

[@MrShutterBug]

Latency didn't really bother me, but it's hard to know how much latency there is. I don't have the equipment to measure it. This drone is pretty heavy for the prop size, even if it is the lightest one with HD. So you feel the momentum of the drone more than any video latency.

[@joevo2]

The camera is made by betafpv?

[@MrShutterBug]

It appears to be the result of a collaboration between betafpv and Caddx. It will be sold exclusively by betafpv. At least that's what I've been told.

[@cheetahfpv6476]

Is the camera 16;9/4:3 & pal/ntsc switchable?

[@MrShutterBug]

Yes. You need a remote control to change the settings in the OSD. My prototype drone did not come with one, but hopefully the final product will. Luckily I already have a bunch of those remotes from other builds, so I was able to hook it up.

[@cheetahfpv6476]

@@MrShutterBug Sweet! thanks for the reply! great video :)

[@mountking1441]

what is the diffrence between frsky and dsmx ? genuine question new to the fpv scene. got a tinyhawk kit with a emax controller and a exax headset.. will the beta65x pair to these ?

[@MrShutterBug]

FrSky and DSMX are just different protocols. You could use either one, but the receiver on the drone has to match the radio that you has. The Spectrum radios use DSMX. When buying a drone, make sure to get the right version for the radio that you have. The 65X is sold in several versions.

[@mountking1441]

@@MrShutterBug im looking at a tinyhawk 2s and a fr sky x lite 2.4ghz. would they pair together ?

[@MrShutterBug]

@@mountking1441 yes I believe they should work, as long as you get the frsky version of the tinyhawk. Cheers.

[@tazzyfpv]

vtx power?

[@MrShutterBug]

Good question. The VTX is called the "M01 V2 VTX". The haven't published the specs on it yet. Presumably there will be more info on March 30th when they officially release these components, so check back here.

[@tazzyfpv]

@@MrShutterBug ok thanks

[@stevenkelby2169]

The M01 is only 25mw. Hopefully this V2 will be more.

[@gonebdg]

Nice ... finally the 65 whoop HD it's coming I've been there before ... trying to build with happymodel 0802 16000kv + turtle V2 also with babyTurtle whoop edition , the result is not satisfying. Turtle V2 is too weight resulting worst battery usage. babyTurtle whoop edition weight is good enough but the recording quality is bad, only good in sunnyday. *I hope the new BabyTurtle whoop edition from betaFPV is better!*

[@flipfpv]

Nice RIP, Nate! Wow, the FPV feed actually looks good on this one!

[@duncanwilliams5790]

Be nice on the 85. Just in the process of building my second 85x - my first 85x, on crossfire shot is sensational about the house. Buttery smooth on the Tango2

[@peterzingler6221]

Why do they throw this out lol. It's clearly too heavy.. I've already build a meteor 75 2s that was extremely fast with standard beta components and could carry this with ease

[@MrShutterBug]

Did you watch to the end? I suggested exactly that. Move the components onto a 75mm frame and it will fly way better. I think they're going after the novelty of having such a small HD drone. It certainly can fit through some small gaps.

[@CHDGREATEST]

Hi, May I know what 75mm frame did you fit with all the BetaFPV components? Can mobula 7 (75mm) frame fit directly to all the 65mm BetaFPV's components like this Beta65X-HD? Thanks

[@454charing]

Whoops are overrated, convert it to toothpick.

[@nonamefound68]

Well ducted props always have a use, I have a 2.5inch toothpick and I would never fly it where he did
