Why Tinywhoops are the best!

[@sakfpv8444]

I'm so happy fpv has somewhat gotten out of the insane oversaturation of cinewhoops EVERYTHING

[@NordFPV]

Has it though? Every company has at least one cinewhoop, and not many have tinywhoops. I think it will Be nicer if every company had a tinywhoop as well.

[@christofvarga5028]

I bought my first tiny whoop (Air 65) a couple of weeks ago. i forgot about my 3,5" and 2" quads.... even got in touch with analog.... the factor of not dissturbing people and dont have to drive kilometers to fly quads is so great.... i fly it every day indoor or in the backyard and i order a second one. its so much fun

[@NordFPV]

Agree 100%

[@Rippindrones]

What is the recommended controller and goggles for them?

[@xXDanielSilva559Xx]

I use to be a hater on tinywhoops, until I bought one and tried it and now I fly them more than my 5 to 10 inch drones. My kids love being chased by my tinywhoop drones and it just makes flying around that much more fun.

[@NordFPV]

They are fun!

[@TheGroundWorm]

I love the convenience of tiny whoops, I can fly my air75 almost anywhere inside or out

[@fullhamfpv]

100% agree! I bought a pair of HDZero goggles about a month or so ago, and also purchased an Air65 which I have been flying around the house a lot and I love it, it just flies so well. Today I placed an order for an Air75 and I can't wait to rip that one around outdoors. I love my 5" quads but whoops are just so much fun themselves, I have really been missing out until now.

[@NordFPV]

Good stuff! Having the pair of air65 and 75 opens up so many possibilities!

[@sakfpv8444]

I started with a 2.5" toothpick, 2s 1103 8000kv. I have tinywhoop s, and I have 5" quads, but I always pick a toothpick (2.5" or 3") for fun flying. I haven't tried a modern 17g tinywhoop yet, so I might like it.

[@NordFPV]

I used to pick my toothpick rather than the tinywhoop because they were more capable a of tricks. But this new generation of tinywhoops with high kv motors has change that. The whoop plastic prop guard makes them a bit more crash resistant and therefore I’m flying my tinywhoops more than the toothpick these days. Just to save some prop money 🤣

[@olacfpv]

I started with the Betafpv Meteor 75 and had a lot of fun with it. But when I built my own 5 inch (Yes, it was a Nord5 frame!!!) everything changed and I could feel the power of a real fpv racer! Every time I try smaller drones (I have two 3.5"), I miss my 5 inch! I still fly a Nord5 frame whenever I want to freestyle and recently I bought a 7 inch (GEPRC Moz7) for cinematic and long distance flights (I really love the sound of the 7 inch!) But I am lucky to live in a place where I have a lot of space and I don't bother anyone.

[@NordFPV]

Thanks you for caring about the nord5 and all your support to the channel!

[@jasonleesuffolk]

I've got a flywoo Explorer and the air75,i find now im hardly ever flying the Explorer just because of the size and noise,its just easier to fly indoors or outside with the air75,you can push it harder without so much worry of smashing it up,no worry about people moaning about the noise,you can find more locations to fly it aswell,plus the batteries are cheaper and dont take as long to charge up 😎👍

[@NordFPV]

You know what I'm talking about!

[@LeVsTerFpv]

1st drone about 4 moth ago emax freestyle 2 toothpick. I had it about a month or so and you right to go to big places to fly is a big story all the time. So I got the rtf combo from sub250 the whoopfly16 and i loved it still flys like a champ is so robust but it is heavy to. There is no free lunch. Now i just got the mobula6 2024 since yesterday and now i just fly whoops becouse they are more fun and people in the park see it and laugh. They are not afraid its a completely different story than a toothpick. I did not try a 5 inch but tbh i will stay with my whoops just ordered the new betafpv air 75.

[@infinityphotorob]

I shoot a ton with a Pavo20. I have it decked out with remote id and gps and I fly it for events all the time. I get so many kids chasing it that now I bring an adapter cable for my phone and I can take kids for rides. They freak out everytime. No one is scared of the tiny pavo. Bump up to even a 2.5 and it is louder heavier and it makes people more nervous. The 2" is totally not scary. I am now interested in going really tiny. The new Air65 looks really appealing and it is super super cheap. I wish there was a digital option. I need to figure out goggles I guess. It will be awesome for practice in tight spaces and proximity flying with zero consequences. But seems useless for any sort of real video use.

[@DanielBarrios83]

I agree I don’t fly my 5” anymore although I build 3 and 3.5 sub250 very powerful. I also build 3s Tinyape with is my toy for small parks… I have walksnail and DJI, so I can’t go as small as the air65 but I would like to try

[@TheLifeOfTitaN]

What backpack are you using at 1:21?

[@NordFPV]

Lowepro FPV. The small one. I think they don’t make it anymore.

[@allisonperez2128]

I want to get into fpv and I want to buy the tiny hawk 2 freestyle, can I pair its goggles and transmitter with the air65?

[@NordFPV]

Hi. If I’m right I think there’s only a FrSky version of that drone, which means your radio won’t be compatible since the air65 is ELRS. The goggles shouldn’t be a problem.

[@craigburlie495]

New to fpv and drones just got a beta air 75 with a walksnal avatar goggles and radio master pocket in need help binding all just waiting on the battery I had to order for my goggles not having batteries or chargers I’m learning and I’ve only spent $450 so far Canadian not including the price of my laptop but I needed one anyways which I’m learning about to never had one before eithercan’t wait to fly practising in the simulator. If you have any advice, please let me know. Your videos are great I will keep watching. Thanks.

[@tomkoller749]

My first drone was the cetus pro kit from betafpv. The babe ape pro was the first plug and play drone for my. 😊

[@NordFPV]

Great

[@chrisbee5481]

I started with the dji fpv and then the babyhawk 2 HD 3.5". Still love 3.5 inch so much

[@NordFPV]

I haven't had the chance to test any of those. Emax hasn't convinced me lately to test any of their recent drones.

[@chrisbee5481]

@NordFPV any chance you are getting a pre sample of the speedybee bee25 for review? BG lists it already. Looks awesome and good price. Can't wait for it and the AIO FC that's released along I guess. New budget option

[@NordFPV]

@@chrisbee5481 I didn't know about those two items. Speedybee normally contacts me when there's something new and I haven't heard from them yet. Will investigate

[@SkyconPhoto]

In Spain we have to request permits 5 days before the flight to be able to fly in a park with any drone, including the tinys. there is no difference between an air65 or an inspire right now

[@zibixxx1]

Does anyone care about guy flying 65mm drone? Police comes to check?

[@NordFPV]

Wow no te lo creo? Le prestan atención a un jugetico de este tamaño?! Hay alguien que revise? Te pueden multar?

[@SkyconPhoto]

@@NordFPV claro que pueden y eso que en cierta forma ha "mejorado" la ley desde hace unos meses, ese vuelo en el parque de tu video en muchas de las ciudades de españa estaria practicamente(muchos permisos) prohibido, aun estando el aeropuerto a 40km

[@linanrod]

Pero con la nueva normativa se supone que inferiores a 250gr ya podrían volar sin permiso, no? a distancia visual y altura menor a unos metros determinados, 40 o 100 metros, no recuerdo

[@SkyconPhoto]

@@linanrod ​​ en urbano no, cualquier dron tiene que pedir permiso para poder volar en urbano, parques como los que vuela en el vídeo están catalogados como urbanos. Lo que ahora se puede es volar en ctr(en zonas no urbanas)hasta cierta altura cosa q antes no se podía, pero si es urbano hay q notificar el vuelo q se va a realizar

[@brandon9689]

What are some good suggestions for quality analog goggles with individual lenses. I'm using an Emax goggle that came with a TH3 Freestyle that died a while ago. They are fine for my tinywhoops in a park or house. But if I'm going to fly something bigger with analog I feel like I should use a quality goggle and receiver. They seem really hard to find among the FPV online vendors.

[@NordFPV]

I will be actually looking into hdzero goggles just to have the chance to fly digital later. Flexibility is the word of the game. Yes tinywhoops are best in analog these days but a good pair of analog goggles cost as much as digital. I’m also looking forward for the walksnail analog module for the goggles X. Otherwise skyzone would be my analog go to.

[@jasonleesuffolk]

I use dji goggles v2 with an analog adapter 👍

[@linanrod]

Which one will you recomend? BetaFPV 65 or 75. I want to buy one and becouse my area has always little winds I was thinking in 75, but because I want to fly inside too, maybe 75 is too powerfull Any advice will be great, thanks

[@NordFPV]

Hi, You can fly both inside and outside, but of course the 75 will be better against a bit of wind, and the 65 will be better in smaller areas. The easiest way is to think if you are going to be more time inside take the 65, or if you are going to spend more time outside take the 75. That said, I love flying the 65 outside. I think it has a bit more punch than the 75 somehow, but wind is a problem.

[@linanrod]

@@NordFPV great idea! Gracias!!!

[@jessegarcia4224]

What is the quietest "tiny whoop" sized drone but with the 03 air unit. Is it the flyoo 75 or 85 with the naked 03? I built the cinelog 20 based on your build video, but I've seen these new drones popping up, and I have been wondering if maybe they are an upgrade from what I am flying. What do you think?

[@JustKeepLivingFPV]

I was flying a set of happy model 1404 on 4s and they was very mellow me flying smooth, but still had power when needed.

[@NordFPV]

Unfortunately I can’t say there are real tinywhoops with O3. And those small O3 drones won’t ever behave as this real rinywhoops I’m talking about or showing in the videos. If you want small drones you have to get out of the DJI ecosystem

[@chrisbee5481]

A 2.5 inch O3 cinewhoop will be more quiet with hq dt63x8 props. A 2 inch O3 cinewoop will need to be naked to perform better.

[@Fpv-5280]

I have the Air 65 and it is very cool

[@NordFPV]

Yes. It is! I really enjoy flaying mine.

[@herotrojan1645]

Which should i buy.. meteor75 pro or 65 pro or the air version?anyone can suggest for feeling for freestyle or racing but in a whoop

[@samcacc..03]

it depends by the space you are going to fly it. INDOOR----> Meteor65 pro (Air65 if you are not a beginner) OUTDOR---->Meteor75 (Air75 if you are nit a beginner)

[@herotrojan1645]

@@samcacc..03 thank you!!!

[@NordFPV]

I like both, and the rule of thumb says as someone else did: Indoors = air65 Outdoors = air75 But despite that both are capable of in and outdoors. My favorite is the 65.

[@chrisbee5481]

Air 65 to learn indoors

[@herotrojan1645]

Tq samcacc, nordfpv and chrisbee for the answers, for a while i still have 2 mobula 8 of tbs and 3 different types of mobula 7.. each of them is on ph2.0, will the air65 bring different feeling for me.. maybe i need ro try it

[@FlyZoneFpv]

I love flying tiny whoops they are definitely a ton of fun

[@NordFPV]

Agree 100%

[@imdiegomoreno1584]

So you need the dissemination permit in Sweden for tinywhoop videos ?

[@NordFPV]

In summary, yes. There are some exceptions to the rules.

[@imdiegomoreno1584]

@ I feel that there should be one that if you’re not flying above certain amount of meters or above the canopy you don’t need to apply.

[@SteveChiller]

I started out on a 1s brushed whoop back in 2017 and have flown and built all sizes up to a 5.5" 4s drone. I much prefer the tiny whoops and especially with walksnail. 😎😎☺☺I dont like making a lot of noise and bothering people. No one has ever come up to me to complain with either 5" or whoops., but thats because I try to fo fly when theres no people around.

[@NordFPV]

on your tinywhoops, do you build them yourself, or do you have a preferred BNF?

[@DronePH-2024]

I'm Using meteor 75 pro and fly great thanks❤❤❤

[@NordFPV]

That’s great! Give a chance to the air series whenever you have the possibility

[@JackalFPV]

Whoop is the way!

[@NordFPV]

I agree. Whoops are still only in our hobby and it feels like they belong to us completely.

[@windyg7261]

很棒的，我的第一架FPV AIR75，但是它的框架对新手太脆弱了。Great, my first FPV AIR75, but its frame is too fragile for a novice.

[@NordFPV]

There are many saying the air series is for advance pilots since the camera is quite exposed and in order to get down on weight a few sacrifices to lower the weight. But I have crashed my Air65 like crazy, and I have had to change a few parts, canopy twice, and props many times, but the frame is still fine. I know you said Air75 and maybe there's a difference there, but I consider those frames quite resistant.

[@Heyokasacredclown]

Love my whoop it’s my favorite.

[@NordFPV]

What do you have?

[@carosworldofficial]

Thinking of getting into fpv and i would start with a tinswhoop. But in the sim drones fly like crap and are no fun at all...

[@NordFPV]

There are different sim. I don’t like all of them. I think velocidrone is the most realistic but the less “gamified”. Try different sims there are many.

[@bushcrafter6416]

Whoops have come a long way last couple years

[@NordFPV]

I agree. This is good for us pilots

[@vladpetriuk7025]

i think you shoud come closer to camera ;)

[@NordFPV]

when? where? why? :D

[@rapamune]

I agree with these points, but the tinywhoops are too expensive for what they are. Decent quality FPV drones like iFlight Nazgul Eco is arguably far better value..

[@mottishaked1446]

Air 65 / 75 are $95. Is that too expensive?

[@rapamune]

@@mottishaked1446 Not expensive, but relative value to the iFlight pre-assembled drones is extremely low.

[@NordFPV]

A Nazgul eco is double the price of a betaFPV air series tinywhoop. You get more drone for the price on a nazgul, but it's a 5" and there's everything that comes with a 5". Both are excellent choices, but I don't think you can say that under 100 USD is expensive for a super fun and fantastic drone like these 2.

[@harley7804]

They are not expensive at all. I crashed my air65 hundreds of times and it still in good shape. Apart from durability, my air65 gives me more opportunity to fly almost anywhere anytime which means a lot of fun. Try one and you will understand what i mean.

[@pepeflores997]

I think the same exactily
