Really enjoyed this review and the new 03 system in tiny drones. There are many fun places I can fly in 3 and a half minutes. The signal strength is so great.
Looks great Steve, Yeah the flight time has not really improved in the last 3 years or so. My BetaFPV micro back in 2020 had the same flight time too. But this one is smaller and the camera is excellent.
Why would a small drone like this only be for indoors with a dji Camera on it Who wants fantastic pics of kitchen cabinets. Am I missing something here. Great video Thanks
hi Captain. i like that although you say out door flying well in the freezing cold flight will be less, but in summer time flight time would be more well a little and less windy i don't like flying indoors so that's out, this is for out door's. but the prise to much for a poor old pensioner.😪😪😪 great review Steve.
I honestly never check the weight of my small RC planes, so I’m not sure. I will say that the UMX PITTS, UMX A-10, UMX TIMBER X, UMX CITATION LONGITUDE… have been in my collection for over a year and I love flying these.
If you use the built in receiver then you can only use the DJI remote 2. Not many people like to use the DJI Remote 2 when flying FPV because it is more like a toy remote transmitter with no options.
You say F7 but their specs say G4 and the one I'm holding has stm32g474 chip. Nice channel, though. It also died on me with only a few minutes run time.
I just dont see anything out performing my Kopis Holybro 2.5 that uses a 4s 850 and weighs 249 grams with the battery. It flies for 8 to 10 minutes and handles a lot of wind. I use the dji radio and it has the vista in it. I like the long flight times and I have 4 batteries to change out.
Amazing little drone !; question Captain, given the light weight of these Drones why is the flight time so little? (compared to say a Mavic Mini under 250g); is it that the battery technology hasn't evolved with them?
Please don’t mix up an FPV drone (which is what this is and flown by skilled pilots), with a DJI GPS Camera beginner drone, which is what the DJI mini is. Have you ever seen a DJI beginner GPS drone (mini or MAVIC) do what this little drone did in the video? If you watch EPISODE 1 of my video CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS I explain why the two hobbies are very different.
Thank you for all of your help and advice!! I ordered the geprc cinelog 25 and the acrobee75. They didn't have the 550's in stock. I did buy some 450's. Advice on where I should order 550's that won't take 2 months. Also on opinions of batteries for the cinelog 25 and what I should get for a charger. Ordered two of your common use suggestion from your charging video.
If you are a newbie pilot, then neither are good as you need outstanding FPV pilot skills to fly through a house.. If you are an experienced pilot the ACROBEE75 is smaller in physical size then the GEPRC, but the GEPRC can handle a crash better.
In the RC Hobby everyone owns their own RC Hobby charger and knows how to use one. You may wish to start on that path (I've reviewed many chargers on this channel). If you want to get into the RC Hobby you most definitely need to watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/5etSyHokb6Y/v-deo.htmlsi=czJKtyjUjgfTg-Es
To answer your second question... You really need to watch and learn what I said in this video (you'll then have you're answer).... Watch it to the end, or else you will make the common mistake so many make: ua-cam.com/video/zPf9b-X6cFw/v-deo.htmlsi=5nT9J0wedRjyaVSQ
After seeing quite a few videos about these tiny whoops and the ability to learn fpv with them i want to purchase this exact one with that controller. What was the exact type of the controller and do i need anything else before starting with fpv?
Ahhh... so you are very new to the RC Hobby I see. A mini drone by DJI is designed to trickle out the power, usually via a LION battery. On a mini drone, everything is controlled by the onboard computer to keep pilots out of trouble. An FPV Drone can't do that because FPV drones are not beginner drones. In other words you need some awesome pilot skills because there is no assistance, so this also means you have FULL control of the power consumption, which is why FPV drones are extremely fast, agile and can do gravity defying manouvers. If you are still confused, think of it this way... A DJI mini drone would be your grandparents stationwagon car and an FPV drone with be a Labourghini. They are not gonna get the same performance or mileage. You could also compare it like this... a DJI MINI drone would be a CESSNA Plane and an FPV Drone would be an F16 Jet.... see where I'm going (performance and mileage will never match).
Actually no I’ve been flying RC planes, driving RC cars, and now quads since I was a teenager, I’m 50 now. What I’m getting at is proportion or scale, if you look at something like the dji mini 3 (which is the only dji I own right now) and it’s battery… I just wonder why they don’t make an effort to come up with something besides the S1 and S2 batteries that are maybe slightly bigger, that could give something like this little whoop 27 minute flight times.
@@jcastanza Now if you fly RC Planes, then you probably know the answer because RC Planes all average a 5 min flight time. Why is that you ask? Because they do not fly for you whereas a MINI flys for you and you pretty much just point it to where you wish to go. The battery is supplying power to 4 motors vice your 1 motor in a plane, yet it can stay in the air 4 times as long. This is all due to the fact that the drone controls the power output, not you. On an RC Plane, you control the output by continously moving the throttle and it is direct power from the battery to the ESC and straight to the BIG motor. Drones have small motors that are not very powerful... they have enough power to lift themselves. This is why you don't see people sticking a GOPRO on a mini, but you see people sticking a GOPRO on an FPV drone smaller than a mini (FPV drones, RC Planes have more powerful motors). In the FPV hobby you can fly drones for 30 minutes, but you need to use very heavy LION Batteries. The problem is then, that your drone behaves like a gutless drone and flys pretty much like a DJI Mini in a more calm fashion. So to summarize.... if you want an FPV Drone or an RC plane to fly for 30 minutes, you'd have to tame it to a point where it can't react or perform instantly as the pilot would expect.
It is an FPV DRONE which means the pilot has full control of everything (hence the reason it could do what it did as seen in the video). A $900 beginner DJI GPS camera drone (mini or MAVIC) could not do the same.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 sorry. It was a joke.. ya know. Can a 50 dollar drone do what a 900 drone can do. HOWEVER. I will say 399 would be better spent on a Gps drone. Fpv is over rated 👹👹👹
Nothing is compatible with the DJI motion controller because it does not exist in the FPV world. It was designed by DJI for people who could not use two hands on joysticks. As for GOGGLES V2, yes it works with them.
Hi Captain, I just got mine today, I updated the DJI O3, Can I use my RC that came with Avata? or My BETAFPV ELRS LiteRadio 2 SE Radio Transmitter Remote Controller with Built-in 1000mAh 1S Battery for FPV RC Racing Drones Multirotor Simulator Joystick Calibration - Mode 2 ExpressLRS V3? The Googles 2 I know I can use it. Thanks
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Captain I followed exactly the steps, everything is connected Google and remote, now the DJI RC put Arm on Aux4 from 900-1600 and save. Disconnect and reconnect. Now I press Start nothing is happening on The Start? Did I miss something?
Would you be willing to help a combat veteran get into fpv? Like the tiny whoop you reviewed I have nothing. No remote or goggles or drone. Just on a very tight income and i know you do giveaways and such and im a longtime subscriber. If you can help me i would sure appreciate it. I really like the set up you just reviewed. I think this would really help with my PTSD. I hate to ask but was hoping you would understand. Have a good holiday.
Bothers me when people call everything a 'tiny whoop'. 'Tiny Whoop" is a company. Like DJI is a company. And they are NOT the same! Tiny whoop is also a 65mm, ducted quadcopter. A 75mm or larger, is just a whoop. I dont think Jesse Perkins (Mr. Tiny Whoop) would like a DJI product named that. Lol P.S "Tiny Whoop" is a registered, trademarked name.
I’m thinking a few million tiny whoop owners use the name as a simple identification just like BAND AID, SKI DOO, ZEROX, and a million other commonly used identifiers
Happy Holidays Steve and family. Thanks for another great year of informative and fun videos. Always a thumbs up!!!
Merry Christmas
Awesome review Steve, that video above your house was crystal clear! Thanks for braving the cold!
Thanks for checking it out
This might be the addition I need for my channel. Very cool, thanks for the indepth review 👍
You are most welcome
Steve, Thanks for another great video!
Fun video ! 😃
Great review of a very cool machine !!
Really enjoyed this review and the new 03 system in tiny drones. There are many fun places I can fly in 3 and a half minutes. The signal strength is so great.
That was amazing! Fly from inside the house and around the neighborhood. Who would have thought that was possible. Great demo. 👍👍😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your review on this drone. It look super capable for its size!
For the size it can certainly do plenty.
Merry Christmas to you to doctor drone. awesome reviews
Good afternoon captain really cool drone nice review insane set up
A great review and flying session Steve. Loved the video and a Merry Christmas 🎄
Boa tarde

Thank you!
That inside flight was amazing! I'm impressed my man . Great video thank you....
Thanks for watching!
Another neat little drone Steve.
Always great information
Can't wait for next video footage insane
awesome footage
excellent review again Captain.
Was waiting for your review on this drone!
Hi Steve, your reviews are always the best! 👍
Hey, thanks!
The reception that you got was impressive, but your drone piloting skills are more impressive. Way to go, captain!!
Thank you!

Just bought one thanks Steve for the video
Enjoy!
For anyone doing real estate flythroughs, that's the ideal size. The camera is near GoPro quality without the hassles of a naked GoPro.
Pity about the short flight time as it looks a cool tiny drone. You looked cold Steve 😂👍
Awesome.
Love it 👍
I bought 5 x 2S 450 70c lipos so plenty of flight time :)
but can it run crysis though?😆 great review btw, im still debating between this and the defender 16

Real Estate Agents who fly FPV, as well as movie cinematographers love this type of drone.

A tip. Fly from inside the car. This is no problem for the Performance. I have try it😂😊
Transport Canada (our Canadian regulator of airspace) is not a fan of that option. But it can certainly keep one warm & avoid frost bite.
Ah, ok, sorry, i live in the swiss. Thank you for all Video upload. Very cool. I lovit rc. 🥰

Steve, why do they fly DJI with ELRS, doesn't DJI have a receiver built in?
If you use the built in receiver then you can only use the DJI remote 2. Not many people like to use the DJI Remote 2 when flying FPV because it is more like a toy remote transmitter with no options.
You say F7 but their specs say G4 and the one I'm holding has stm32g474 chip. Nice channel, though. It also died on me with only a few minutes run time.
Often I receive pre-release versions of new FPV drones and the specs sometimes change when put into production.
Wouldn’t it get a little bit longer flight time if it was on a nice sunny warm day and not -12°c?
Do you think I could use my controller from the dji mini 3 ?
I just dont see anything out performing my Kopis Holybro 2.5 that uses a 4s 850 and weighs 249 grams with the battery. It flies for 8 to 10 minutes and handles a lot of wind. I use the dji radio and it has the vista in it. I like the long flight times and I have 4 batteries to change out.

Can you use the small DJI FPV radio ?
Yes… BUT you need to first watch my video entitled: CAPTAIN DRONE FPV FOR BEGINNERS EPISODE 12
i'm trying to decide between this and GEPRC DarkStar 20 HD. which be good to go with? I'll be doing some real estate indoor flights.
If you are a newbie pilot, then neither are good as you need outstanding FPV pilot skills to fly through a house.. If you are an experienced pilot the ACROBEE75 is smaller in physical size then the GEPRC, but the GEPRC can handle a crash better.

Yes, the specs say it has an ELRS DIVERSITY receiver.

My wife likes it… but it will be gone for 2024.
Looking forward to the day these quads have 15 min flight times. This is the place where DJI is ahead, in flight time.
Have you seen the weight of the two current FPV drones (Avata and FPV)… they are as heavy as tanks!
How does it compare with the Flywoo Flylens 75?
It is a thicker construction compared to the Flylens.
cap, what mode are you in when you fly indoors? thanks!
ANGLE mode (my house is too small for ACRO indoors)
Can I fly it with the DJI controller 2?
Yes
請教一下，這台的噪音大嗎？
跟PAVO PICO 比較，哪一台聲音小？
感謝回答！
Not too noisy. FPV drone noise is often caused by weight of the drone.
Genesis ? Is it not Gemini?
Gemini is correct. When my brain freezes I never know what comes out my mouth. 😆
What is cost of goggles and controller?
Have a look at the prices in your country. Look for DJI FPV Googles 2. Then look for the RADIOMASTER POCKET remote.
If they can make a mini fly for 30 minutes with a relatively small battery you’d think they could make those fly 15-20 minutes with a smaller battery?
