Hey everyone! 🌟
This summer, I’ve been all about flying tinywhoops, and I can’t get enough! In this video, I dive into why tinywhoops, like the Betafpv Air65 and Air75, have become my go-to drones for flying in parks and other tight spaces. From doing tricks and acrobatics to crashing without worries, these little drones are a game-changer!
I also compare them to larger 5” drones and other small models I’ve tested, like the YMZFPV Lightning2 and Darwin FPV Tinyape. Plus, I’ll share my personal FPV journey and why I think tinywhoops are perfect for anyone looking to push their flying skills to the next level.

I'm so happy fpv has somewhat gotten out of the insane oversaturation of cinewhoops EVERYTHING
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.
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
Agree 100%
What is the recommended controller and goggles for them?
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.
They are fun!
I love the convenience of tiny whoops, I can fly my air75 almost anywhere inside or out
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.
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.
Thanks you for caring about the nord5 and all your support to the channel!
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 😎👍
You know what I'm talking about!
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.
Good stuff! Having the pair of air65 and 75 opens up so many possibilities!
What controller do you use ?
I use the Radiomaster TX16S MKII MAX, but it's probably a little overkill if you only plan on flying Tinywhoops, and a smaller form factor radio would do. I have big hands though so I like my TX16S and I use it for all my bigger quads as well.
@ so if I got a air 65 and a pair of had zero goggles the TX16s will all connect together and work ??? I’m new to this I’m lookin for something beside a Cetus x … something that don’t look like a toy ya no lol
@tonymontana-ot3ek The easiest thing would be to get a radio that has ELRS (Express LRS) built into the radio. I would recommend a RadioMaster Zorro with a built in ExpressLRS if you like a gamepad feel to your radio, a RadioMaster GX12 or Boxer if you like something a little bigger (also the ExpressLRS versions), or the TX16S if you prefer a bigger radio. If I were starting from scratch, I would probably buy the GX12 or the Boxer, based on their form factor and price.
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.
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 🤣
My first drone was the cetus pro kit from betafpv. The babe ape pro was the first plug and play drone for my. 😊
Great
I am new to the whole RC-stuff and was flying in the simulator only, because I don‘t know which setup I want. Now, after watching this video, I am sure that my first drone will be one of this tinywhoops. Sure, the small form factor and the smb soldering isn‘t the best choice for beginners but for tinkering around on the drone itself I will upgrade to a 5“.
As controller the TBS Tango 2 looks good. I just need goggles and yes, the drone itself. Wondering how to find out which goggles fits to which drone and how to implement Crossfire.
May you have some suggestions on a set which is compatible?
I really like the Tango 2 controller. For goggles / drone I am very open. It should be digital though… if possible.
Nice videos btw! Keep up the good work!
Cheers
If you are just starting I’ll recommend to go for ELRS instead of crossfire. Crossfire is an excellent radio protocol but drones like the air65 are only made in ELRS because it’s open source and more economical. If you like the shape of the tango 2 look for the jumper bumblebee, I found it to be the same feeling, it’s a new ELRS and much cheaper.
For googles look at skyzone goggles. They have the whole range for your pocket. Chose the one fits you better. Cobra X is excellent entry level. O4 o Pro for the high end.
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.
I just got the air75 and found this video . I fly big rc jets so I wanted a change cause the Karen’s out there aren’t fans of my planes . These tinywhoops are priced so well I’m glad there’s some sanity here
Glad to hear you agree with me 😂
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.
I have the Air 65 and it is very cool
Yes. It is! I really enjoy flaying mine.
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
I started with the dji fpv and then the babyhawk 2 HD 3.5".
Still love 3.5 inch so much
I haven't had the chance to test any of those. Emax hasn't convinced me lately to test any of their recent drones.
@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
@@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
I love flying tiny whoops they are definitely a ton of fun
Agree 100%
Whoop is the way!
I agree. Whoops are still only in our hobby and it feels like they belong to us completely.
I'm Using meteor 75 pro and fly great thanks❤❤❤
That’s great! Give a chance to the air series whenever you have the possibility
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.
on your tinywhoops, do you build them yourself, or do you have a preferred BNF?
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
Does anyone care about guy flying 65mm drone? Police comes to check?
Wow no te lo creo? Le prestan atención a un jugetico de este tamaño?! Hay alguien que revise? Te pueden multar?
@@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
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
@@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
Love my whoop it’s my favorite.
What do you have?
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.
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.
I use dji goggles v2 with an analog adapter 👍
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
@@NordFPV great idea! Gracias!!!
Whoops have come a long way last couple years
I agree. This is good for us pilots
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?
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.
What backpack are you using at 1:21?
Lowepro FPV. The small one. I think they don’t make it anymore.
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
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)
@@samsamFPV thank you!!!
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.
Air 65 to learn indoors
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
So you need the dissemination permit in Sweden for tinywhoop videos ?
In summary, yes. There are some exceptions to the rules.
@ 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.
Cool
Thank you.
Waiting for my tinywhoop...
What did you buy?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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..
Air 65 / 75 are $95. Is that too expensive?
@@mottishaked1446 Not expensive, but relative value to the iFlight pre-assembled drones is extremely low.
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.
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.
i think you shoud come closer to camera ;)
when? where? why? :D
They are fun, but we would be flying 5 inch all day if not for the FAA and other government regulators around the world.
Do you have a lot of places to fly 5”? My biggest problem is the space, I need to drive far to get something decent. The effort level gets pretty high.
We wouldn't be. Just the day before, it was freezing rain outside, but I was able to fly my Air65 in the attic, and had a lot of fun with it.
Tiny whoops have one characteristic that @NordFPV didn't mention, due to much lower mass and lower speed they have much less energy, this means that crashes are much less likely to damage drone. It is important to novice like me, as I often make mistakes.
I think the same exactily
Thanks for sharing!

Exactly my sentiments. I’m glad to hear we share a story.
@@NordFPV can you tell me what controller and goggles to order for the air65 to bind with ? I’m new to this
Air75*
@@tonymontana-ot3ek Very difficult question. There are many, and it depends on many factors. But I can point you in some direction. On the radio, you need a ELRS radio, I like the Bumblebee from Jumper for a compact size, or the T15 from Jumper for the bigger size.
On goggles, there are a million. Look for analog goggles from skyzone that fits your budget.
