The idea was to build a Spit 3-based Cinewhoop with proper aerodynamic ducts and not simply prop guards. After the experience of setting up the Squirt V2 I thought it would be awesome to have something way smaller but with the same flight characteristics as a Squirt.

Compared to many other smaller cinewhoops, I believe Fullspeed RC's Turbowhoop is the only one to have aerodynamically-designed ducts similar to the Squirt, which should provide extra lift in addition to safety from props. I didn't like the 4K BNF version so decided on building from scratch.

Printed the ducts in TPU because PLA/PETG just doesn't stand up to small impacts/crashes

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
