Heads' 2s Indoor Acro Champ

This thing is an indoor freestyle legend! One of Heads' favorite whoops so far.

Some comments about the build:

It's a pretty straight forward whoop build. The camera wire is very tight the way it is ran, normally don't do this, but the canopy is super stiff and shouldn't move enough to break anything. Plus it looks clean. The motor wires are super long since they were used for a 75mm frame, so they are mounted with the wires facing out and twisted to avoid having a lot dangling underneath. Run a bead of Welders glue up the back-side of the canopy where it meets the camera and use that glue to hold the vtx antenna with just enough length to sit in the antenna clip on the canopy (see photo)

Additional Notes:
If you like to be an indoor acro basher like Heads, we'd suggest running a ziptie at the back of the frame where he has it. This helps to keep your battery lead from popping off. Make sure to leave some slack on the lead from ziptie to fc.

Also put a dab of liquid electrical tape on the battery lead solder points.

The 2x1s battery holder used is originally from BetaFPV. It's 3D printed TPU. Available here: https://betafpv.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/attachments/27019872587

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone!
