The Easy Way to Build (but not as light):
If you want an easy build, just get a Meteor65 or Mobula6 and swap the parts onto a 75mm frame with 40mm props. Try 19,000KV or 19,500KV combined with my custom tune. It will be good, but not as good as my 16.8g version. For that, you'll have to build it up from components (see below):
- Meteor65 BNF (from BetaFPV: http://bit.ly/2KvavJT, from GetFPV: http://bit.ly/2QtWpvZ)
- Mobula6 (bit.ly/3mInNTI, or http://bit.ly/2wGRtw7)

Full Parts List (as seen in this video):
- Mobula7 V2 Frame (bit.ly/3eg3MRr, or bit.ly/3kGqm8m)
- Happymodel EX0802 19,000KV Motors (bit.ly/366Jnej, or bit.ly/2TIDAFH)
WARNING: The EX0802 motor wires are just barely long enough. Do not cut them shorter! You will need every mm of wire. I suggest pulling them out of the connector and then cutting off the crimped part, preserving as much of the wire length as possible.
- BetaFPV F4 1S FC (the one I used) (bit.ly/3mLDHwZ, or http://bit.ly/2m2JX9e)
- Alternative FC: BetaFPV F4 1S FC with built in VTX (bit.ly/360DJtO)
- Alternative FC: CrazyBee F4 Lite 1S FC with built in VTX (bit.ly/34JB8oG, http://bit.ly/2H3XJjq)
- HQ 1.6x1.6x4 Props w/ 1mm shaft (bit.ly/3mGOqbP, or bit.ly/2TD6Rln)
- Runcam Nano3 Camera (http://bit.ly/39w6QFK)
- NamelessRC Nano VTX (bit.ly/30VLksU)
- E6000 Glue (amzn.to/358DX3m)
- U.FL extensions cut to make custom VTX antenna (amzn.to/2UoTOFg)

Epic Whoop Racing with HDZero Digital FPV!

Mr ShutterBug 2023-02-21 | I took my HDZero whoops to a race at Sumerian Brewing Co on Sunday, and it was a TON OF FUN! Good friends, intense competition, and a cool venue! I wasn't the only one racing with HDZero either. It seems like more and more people are making the switch. Very cool!

Special thanks to Roger Ma, and to Dan an Liz Sugano for all their hard work organizing these events. And thanks to Roger for giving me permission to use his video footage of the race-off.

If you want to help support this channel, here are some affiliate links you can use when shopping for FPV great. I make a small commission and it costs you nothing. Thanks!
- GetFPV: http://bit.ly/2Ot4q2K
- BetaFPV: http://bit.ly/betafpv-shutterbug
- Banggood: http://bit.ly/2OVcf1r

Want to see exactly how I built this HDZero Whoop? Full details here:
youtu.be/hufEk1cLG1c

I was also flying the Happymodel Mobula 6 HDZero, but I swapped the motors to 25,000KV 0802, and I swapped the battery connector to BT2.0 so I could use my Tattu 300mAh BT2.0 batteries (which are excellent batteries, by the way).

PSA: You new BETAFPV FC could be PERMANENTLY RUINED unless you do this BEFORE plugging it in!

Mr ShutterBug 2022-07-04 | Public Service Announcement: Unfortunately this BETAFPV F4 1S flight controller has been shipping with a bug. The first time you plug in a battery or USB cable, it will boot up and permanently alter the gyro chip making it unusable and unfixable! Fortunately, if you have not powered it up yet, then you can save it by holding the boot button to put it in DFU mode the very first time you connect USB. Then, you can flash it with an official release of Betaflight 4.3, which won't have this problem.

For more information about the bug:
github.com/betaflight/betaflight/pull/11584?fbclid=IwAR00ecXWZrwhV2HwlOGO5cO-81fKNW9888GPrMyEvHdSpa0b2JG7JJ0fgGI

I hope this helps someone out! Happy building!

Exact parts I used for this camera:
- Runcam Nano HD Camera: bit.ly/3yGNVpn
- Lens from a Wolfwhoop WT07 analog camera: amzn.to/2XV7g6a
- NinjaTek Armadillo TPU: amzn.to/3HA1omL

Build Notes:
- Camera: I used the older Runcam Nano HD camera. It has an orange body and a 14x14mm back plate. The newer Runcam/HDZero branded nano camera has a different size back plate (14x16mm) and a different size sensor. I also have the Foxeer Digisight V2. It could work but it is not as light even after you remove all the analog wires because the sensor itself is encased in a thicker piece of glass.
- Lens: I like the WT07 lens because it is ultra wide. The downside is that you have to remove the glue to get it off. I used a tiny screwdriver to break through the glue and then pry it off in pieces. There are lots of other whoop cameras with the same size lens however. If it has an IR filter, then it will probably work. Pick your favorite and give it a try (if you're feeling brave enough to modify a $50 camera, that is).

3D Printer Models:
- STL file for the camera body I used: bit.ly/3oxEWTE

Can Quicksilver Make Me A Better Whoop Racer? I Want To Find Out!

Mr ShutterBug 2021-11-25 | Quicksilver is a relatively new firmware option from some of the same devs who brought you NFE_Silverware. It supports brushless motors and a variety of F4 flight controllers. It even has a nice Configurator and OSD menu system! You can probably flash it onto one of your existing builds, but why would you? For me, the answer comes down to one killer feature for angle mode racing. It can take a hard hit and recover in the air without losing track of which way is up! No more "drunk gyro" syndrome! I hope to tell you more about this and other features in future videos, so make sure you're subscribed. Links and info below...

FPV Racing by Trial & Error

Racing the Official MultiGP Qualifier with Digital FPV!

Mr ShutterBug 2021-08-18 | It has been way too long since my last 5" drone race, so today I'm trying to shake off the rust and put some times on the MultiGP 2021 International Qualifier track! It's going to be epic! I'm flying a brand new Floss racer with a custom build of Betaflight 4.3 optimized for 500Hz ExpressLRS, plus I get to use Shark Byte digital FPV! I may not be the fastest racer out there, but it's a good chance to put the latest cutting edge tech to the test!

My FPV video was great! I've never been able to see the track so clearly! Latency of Shark Byte feels just like analog with a rock solid 60Hz frame rate. Fortunately, my digital video did not cause any interference for analog pilots and it worked perfectly with the timing system too. It's really the perfect thing for racing! I hope they start allowing Shark Byte at all levels of MultiGP racing!

I'm also using a custom build of Betaflight 4.3 with a custom tune and ExpressLRS running at 500Hz. Running your input that fast creates extra noise, so properly handling that noise is key to having the fastest RC link in the world! I collaborated with Chris Thompson (Betaflight dev) to get this one dialed in. I hope to share more details about that in the not too distant future, so stay tuned!

Ripn Packs + Shark Byte M12 Lens Mod

Mr ShutterBug 2021-07-17 | I was out doing a bit of racing practice and decided to take a break and fly my TWIG ET5, which was recently upgraded with Shark Byte digital FPV and the M12 Ratel 1.66mm lens mod. It makes it hard to go back to analog FPV on my racing build. More info and related videos below...

Fun Fact:
This Shark Byte ET5 build got lost in a tree for a few days. I finally found it thanks to my friend Clif who did a fly-over with his DJI camera drone. Once I knew where it was, it was easy to get down. Crazy how well these things can hide sometimes!

Building an AMAZING Racing Whoop with Shark Byte Digital FPV (ITS SO MUCH FUN!)

Mr ShutterBug 2021-05-15 | You wouldn't even know that this "ShutterBug85" build has Shark Byte because the components are contained neatly within the frame. It's my most durable design yet, and it's ridiculously fun to fly around my yard! Links and info below...

Batteries:
If you fly on high throttle like me, then it is pretty hard on batteries. Racing flights were just 2-3 minutes depending on the battery. For fast racing or hard outdoor freestyle, I recommend top notch 2S batteries in the 450-650mAh range. Examples:
- Tattu R-Line 95C 550mAh 2S
- GNB 600mAh 90C HV 2S (yellow label)

Canopy SLT File (should work with most other 14x14mm cameras too):

ShutterBug85 Parts List (2S Shark Byte version as seen here):
- BetaFPV Beta85X 4K frame: betafpv.com/products/beta85x-4k-frame-kit
- BetaFPV 1103 11,000KV motors: betafpv.com/products/1103-brushless-motors?variant=14762596007980
- I used the JHEMCU Play4 AIO FC (leave the motor plugs off, or you probably won't be able to fit it under the frame like I did): racedayquads.com/products/jhemcu-play-f4-1-2s-aio-toothpick-whoop-flight-controller-w-5a-4in1-esc
- WARNING: Several people have told me that the JHEMCU board died after few flights. Unfortunately every other AIO can also fail. None are perfectly robust. If you want something a little better, then I suggest the BetaFPV F405 (see 3S version below).
- Shark Byte TX5S.1 VTX: pyrodrone.com/products/fatshark-sharkbyte-tx5s-1-video-transmitter
- I used the Foxeer Digisight V2 Camera: pyrodrone.com/products/foxeer-digisight-2-nano-720p-digital-analog-4ms-latency-super-wdr-fpv-camera
- But I recommend the Runcam Nano HD Camera because it is lighter and you don't have to remove any analog wires: pyrodrone.com/products/runcam-shark-byte-nano-hd-fpv-camera
- 55mm MIPI Cable: pyrodrone.com/products/caddx-turtle-mini-v2-replacement-camera-cable-90mm
- iFlight Sigma RHCP antenna: pyrodrone.com/products/iflight-sigma-5-8ghz-60mm-rhcp-lhcp-fpv-antenna-ipex-ufl
- Emax Avan 2-inch Props (blue): racedayquads.com/products/avan-micro-2-prop-set-of-12-props-2x2-4x4
- I used two 100uF capacitors. One on the FC's VBAT, one on the VTX. pyrodrone.com/products/16v-100uf-capcitor-for-micro-esc-aio-boards
- Canopy attaches with whoop style screws. The one in front needs a smaller head. betafpv.com/products/screws-and-rubber-dampers

ShutterBug85 Analog Version:
If you are using analog FPV, then your performance will be even better because of the reduced weight. In that case, you can mount the FC on top, like normal. You can use the same canopy with any 14x14mm camera, but you might need to adjust the position of the screw holes depending on the length of your lens.

ShutterBug85 3S Version (batteries tend to be heavier, but you will have less voltage sag):
- BetaFPV 1103 8000KV Motors: betafpv.com/products/1103-brushless-motors?variant=14735142682668
- BetaFPV 12A F405 Whoop FC (you will have to remove the motor plugs if you want to make it fit under the frame like I did): betafpv.com/products/f405-20a-aio-2-4s-brushless-flight-controllerblheli_s-v3?variant=34899934347398
- Otherwise the same as above

Custom Betaflight 4.3 Tune:
My new tune is a work-in-progress. You're welcome to use it, but you do so at your own risk. Be careful and check for hot motors before you go crazy with it. Feedback is welcome! I'm using a nightly build of Betaflight 4.3.0 and the Betaflight Configurator 10.8.0 since they have not yet been officially released. You can take a chance and try them out now, or you can wait for the official released when the bugs (if any) have been worked. For details on my current tune, refer to the following document. I may update it over time if I make further adjustments:

Getting Started with Shark Byte:
- Any FPV goggles or display with HDMI input. I have Fat Shark HDO2.
- FatShark Shark Byte RX5.1 Receiver Module: bit.ly/3acLQ9O
- Two SMA antennas of your choice to go on top of the RX. They should be RHCP to match the patch antennas that are built-in.

OR Happymodel 1202.5 6400KV Motors (what I used here): bit.ly/3wZFdkG
OR other motor with similar size and KV.
- BetaFPV 12A F405 Whoop AIO. It is light and has good features. It also has motor plugs, which you could use or remove: bit.ly/3acAjr5
OR BetaFPV 20A F405 Toothpick AIO for an even easier and more robust build: bit.ly/3mPbiqR
- Gemfan 3018 2-blade props (1.5mm shaft or 2mm shaft depending on your motors): http://bit.ly/2T9KkNW
or Gemfan 3016 3-blade props (these fly smoother, but they have less power for pulling out of dives): http://bit.ly/36REC7a
- RHCP Singularity Antenna with U.FL (I recommend not using the "short" one. It is harder to get a good antenna placement): bit.ly/3uMgi2e

- Thin foam battery pad helps it stay put:

Flight Times:
The main flight in this video used a GNB 300mah 80C 2S Battery. When flying fast hard freestyle like this I typically get:
- 300mAh 2S = 3 minutes
- 450mAh 2S = 4-5 minutes
- 550mAh 2S = 5 minutes+

Crux3 + Insta360 GO | Lets see what it can do!

Mr ShutterBug 2021-03-26 | Trying out the Happymodel Crux3. The specs are very similar to a Babytooth, but the motor KV is lower because it is designed for 2S. Lets put it to the test and find out what it can do! Product links and related videos below...

FPV Soccer Goal Challenge (MUD EVERYWHERE! DONT CRASH!)

Mr ShutterBug 2021-02-22 | This is where they store all the soccer goals for the winter. I've been meaning to come here for a while, but I had just a short break in which to fly. Time to make the most of it! Info and related videos below...

I was flying a TWIG Mutant 4" with the Caddx Vista (DJI FPV system). I've shown it on the channel before. Check out the following videos if you haven't already! The build is pretty much the same today, except that I'm using the HQ 4x2x3 props.

DAS Might Change The Way I Race Whoops! Emuflight’s New Dual-Axis Steering!

Mr ShutterBug 2021-01-04 | I have a fresh new whoop for 2021 racing. It has updated components and a new tune, but the real secret sauce is a new feature of Emuflight called "Dual-Axis Steering". It's specifically designed for angle mode racing, and it may just change the way I fly whoops! Build info and tune below...

Emuflight Tune:
Thanks to Patrick Clarke for early access to this Project Mockingbird tune (still a work-in-progress). Emuflight screenshots and CLI commands can be found in this document: bit.ly/2MkaJaj

Dual-Axis Steering:
DAS is set up in the CLI. The names of the commands have changed since the time I made my video. If you’re using an older build the commands are called “add_yaw_to_roll” and “add_roll_to_yaw” (as described in my video). If you are using a newer build then they have been renamed to “das_roll_with_yaw_input” and “das_yaw_with_roll_input” respectively. The setting “das_yaw_with_roll_input” means, “when you tilt the roll stick, also make the drone rotate about the yaw axis.” This feature can be set differently for different rate profiles. The recommended starting values are given below. Increase the “das_yaw_with_roll_input” value if you want to do more of the steering on the right stick. Full right-stick-only steering is hard to get used to, but I enjoy using a mix in the middle.
set das_yaw_with_roll_input = 30
set das_roll_with_yaw_input = 20

Drone Parts (If you use my affiliate links it helps me out. Thanks):
- Meteor65 frame (http://bit.ly/3bxloXt)
- BetaFPV F4 1S AIO FC + VTX (bit.ly/360DJtO)
- HappyModel EX0802 19,000KV unibell motors (http://bit.ly/3859ZhL)
- TinyWhoop Pinch camera (http://bit.ly/3pKhbGg)
- Gemfan 31mm 3-blade props with 1mm shaft (http://bit.ly/2HfPnFt)
- TPU camera mount (I think this is the one): http://bit.ly/2MvEYLJ
- PEEK M1.4 4mm motor screws (bit.ly/3n4ntP6) are unfortunately very expensive. I didn't realize just how expensive they were at first because they sent me some free samples. Normally I use RENY screws (http://bit.ly/2P0JOzT) which are half the cost and even that is pretty expensive unless you split it with friends. Minimum quantity = 100 pcs.
- 90 degree PH2.0, folded to create a 180 degree battery connector (http://bit.ly/2Jcu4Gj)

This 1S Babytooth Still RIPS! Loven it!

Mr ShutterBug 2020-12-18 | When I head out to fly for fun, what drone do I take this me? More often then not it's this 1S Babytooth. It's so much fun and so care free! Nobody can see it. Nobody can hear it. And if I crash, nobody even cares. It's like a leaf! I love it! Build info below...

The Build:
This is a 1S drone built on the Babytooth frame by Kabab FPV. I like to build mine extra light. This one is around 33 grams and flies on a 450-520mah 1S battery.

Can this 1S Toothpick Really Carry an Insta360 GO?!?!

Mr ShutterBug 2020-09-28 | Can this 1S Toothpick carry the Insta360 GO and if it can, will it have enough performance headroom to get some cool shots? I had to find out! Build info below...

Note:
I post affiliate links when available. If you one of the links to make a purchase, then I can earn a small commission. It's an easy way for you to help support this channel at no cost to yourself. Thanks!

Build Info:
This is a 1S drone built on the Babytooth frame by FPV Cycle. The drone weighs about 33g and is very similar to the first one I built, which I showed in my video "Building the Worlds Lightest 3-Inch FPV Drone": youtu.be/obns6k1xhIc.

The battery weighs 13g and the Insta360 GO weighs 20g, so battery + action cam doubles the weight of the drone for a flying weight of 66g.

Insta360 GO:
Tiny action cam with amazing image stabilization. It can only record for 5 minutes at a time and will run out of battery after two flights, but it opens up some interesting possibilities, so I have fun with it.

Insta360 GO + Beta95X V2 + THE DOG THAT LOVES DRONES!

Mr ShutterBug 2020-09-09 | My Beta95X V2 and Insta360 Go just arrived. Time to have some fun! Click "SHOW MORE" for build info, links, and my initial impressions of this drone...

Note:
I post affiliate links when available. If you one of the links to make a purchase, then I can earn a small commission. It's an easy way for you to help support this channel at no cost to yourself. Thanks!

The Insta360 GO Camera:
- BetaFPV: bit.ly/3id5vbG
- GetFPV: bit.ly/32fxulv

The Beta95X V2 Drone (as seen here):
- BetaFPV: bit.ly/3gK8CX2

The Beta95X V2 with DJI Digital FPV:
- BetaFPV: bit.ly/3bmvxqk

ABOUT THE INSTA360 GO:
I just got this camera. This footage came from my first few flights with it. The image quality is NOT as good as a GoPro, but it is cool that it can mount on such a small drone and you don't have to strip it down to reduce weight. A lot of the resolution is lost because it records a full 180 deg and then crops down to the 16:9 rectangle. Also, the compression makes things a bit blocky when things are moving fast. I scaled it up to 4K to get the best compression on YouTube. There is a phone app that lets you change the stabilization mode and even rotate or re-aim the shot (which is really cool) Unfortunately, the PC/Mac software is pretty useless. When I mount the camera sideways (like on this drone) and use "FPV Stabilization" mode, the video comes out sideways. You can fix that on the phone app, but not on the PC (weird). The camera also has some real limitation that you should know about. It only records for 5 minutes at a time, it only records 25 fps, there is limited in-camera storage, and the battery only lasts for a few flights before needing to recharge. It is a really interesting camera though. I'll probably have more interesting footage to show in the future. Stay tuned!

ABOUT THE BETA95X V2 DRONE:
It actually flies quite well for such a small whoop with an HD camera. I was happily surprised! It was pretty easy to control, but flying really slow is still a challenge. The "pusher" design seem to help in flight, but it can make it tricky to take off again after you turtle in the grass or dirt. I used a 450mAh 4S battery and was getting over 5 minutes of flight time (longer than the camera can record) on gentle flights. Note that the flight time will probably be lower if you use a naked GoPro and the DJI FPV system, but those are options.

TWIG ET5 | Ultralight 5 In Depth Review

Bind-N-Fly Drone (as shown):
- TWIG ET5 BNF: bit.ly/TWIG-ET5-BNF
- BetaFPV 850mAh 75C 4S Battery: bit.ly/2AYvnri

Parts I would recommend:

- Toothpick style 35A AIO FC (up to 6S): http://bit.ly/betafpv-35a-6s-aio-blheli32
- Caddx Baby Ratel camera w/ mounting adapter: bit.ly/33TCUUt

- OR: HQ 5x3 2-blade prop (bit.ly/2DPPyJr)
- VTX and antenna of your choice

Some motor options to consider:
- BetaFPV/RacerX 1506 3000KV (shown here): bit.ly/315Rs1V
NOTE: These are great motors but a little small for 5-inch.
- BetaFPV 1805 (pick your KV): bit.ly/betafpv-1805-motors
NOTE: These are better motors for 5" but may be less durable.
- BrotherHobby 2004 (pick your KV): bit.ly/2PPfjMl
NOTE: I have not tried these, but they look like a great size for an ultralight 5". If you have experience with them, please comment below. :-)

My BLHeli32 Settings:
- Rampup Power = 100%
- Motor Timing = 22 deg
- PWM Frequency = 24kHz

My Betaflight 4.2.0 Tune:
