By Square One on Jul 07, 2021This whoop started out as my "outdoor whoop" project, I want to fly it in forests and in tree canopies. But I was affraid of losing it up high in a tree due to a failsafe or just bad FPV video. So I've build this 75mm whoop with a TBS pro 32 5g8 nano vtx which goes up to 500mw and a XM receiver. And yes ExpressLRS would be better, and even lighter, but I used what I had laying around, I am thinking about buying it though...
I also decided to switch out my camera ( Caddx Ant) with the Runcam Split 3 lite, so I could record my filghts in HD. And still keep it reasonable light.
It weighs about 30gr, and I get 3min to 3.30min of flight time on a URUAV 1s 450mah.
AUW is about 43gr. If you don't care about the HD recording you could use another camera like the Caddx Ant ( which I really like btw) and save 5 to 6gr, maybe more depending on the camera you use.
Oh, and YES that's an ND filter on the Runcam Split 3 Nano Lite ( same camera as the Mobula 6 HD), it really helps with jello!
There's a video coming about which ND filters fit, and how to mount them. When it's out I will post a link here. Or you could just follow me on Youtube of course ;)

Hi man, does the JHEMCU fc strong enough using 1s battery? last time i build it needs 2s battery to take off...
Do you have any idea to make it 1s fully works?
Hi there, sorry about the late reply. Because the board I am using isn't available anymore I searched for others with the necessary uarts to add a vtx and rx, the product page states it should work, but I haven't tried it yet. What battery and motors did you use on your build?
