Totally right about that, this drone was not built for racing. Since that HD video of the drone flying around the school kids, we've been working towards putting something that cound capture HD footage and be safe to fly around people. The Miracle Whoop is the drone to fly around inside of buildings for consumer focused footage. I've got plenty of whoops for racing that don't have the extra 20g in HD gear. The next revision of this will be a mullet-mounted Turtle cam, to lose the huge tower and keep the props outta sight.

Cool! This is exactly what I want to do with a US65.

where you able to make it on the us65? I want to try it too, im waiting for the caddx turtle to arrive from china

This was built on the BetaFPV 75X, which is a 2S (7.4v) 1103 11000KV build.

The Caddx Turtle is not going to run on 1S as far as I know, becasue the input voltage is not sufficient for the camera+dvr. Additionally, the rotational mass of the 75X 1103 motors is about double of the US65 603. The 75X barely flys all the extra weight. I think that smaller propellers and smaller motors will struggle to lift an extra 20g.

My V2 build of this Turtle Whoop, will have 3S 13A ESC, and 12500KV 1104 motors, on 2.2" props. This should give us sufficient power to do flips and such with the Turtle.

You're probably right, but I'm stubborn :). I'm going to get a Caddx Turtle anyway for a future 3" build, so as soon as my US65 gets here from its circumnavigation (Banggood sent it to California by way of Belgium), I'm going to load it up with some weight and see how it flies. Maybe I can run the Turtle from a separate battery, unless it needs 5V, in which case I'll stick it on a Tinyhawk 2S when it comes out!

But I saw several videos where they added a caddx turtle to a eachine e011, at it flew. Search for mdri whoop on youtube. Anyway, I think the us65 have a 5v pad on the FC

Good info Bassbeats! Can't wait to hear how it works, CatsOG. It is so cool to be on the bleeding edge with this technology, make it happen!

You're right, I did some checking and it can support 800 mah! Thanks!

Have you tried the us65 with the caddx turtle?

It's been stuck in Belgium for two weeks...sigh.

well, today I just made the build. US65 with the Caddx turtle. It flys super slow, but for filming its ok. You will need to add a 3.7v to 5v step up converter
Im editing a video to prove it ;)

Looking forward to seeing that and your mounting scheme! P.S. Doesn't the FC on that already have a converter? In fact you were the one who pointed it out, did it not work?

Here is the video:

The US65 have a 5v output, and the camera can boot and record on that, but when I applied throttle, the Caddx shutted down. So I ended up using a step up regulator and soldered it on the Lipo pads , it works!

I think the US65 has some kind of power problem anyway, based on all the reviews where the DVR is saying "Land now" :) But the result is GREAT, congratulations! I knew it could be done!

She's got a fat ass! Will post video tomorrow...

hahaha exactly what i expected!!!

Just updated this page with a video from last night's races.

Thanks man, check the footage now!
