Best Cinewhoop Drones and Parts in 2023

Understanding Cinewhoop Drones

Cinewhoops are a specialized category of mini FPV drones featuring ducts for propeller guards, designed to carry action cameras like GoPros for capturing smooth and cinematic aerial footage. Cinewhoops prioritize stability and safety over speed, allowing pilots to fly safely in close proximity to subjects, both indoors and outdoors. Their unique design makes them ideal for achieving cinematic-quality shots that are challenging to replicate with traditional 5" freestyle FPV drones.

Advantages of Cinewhoop Drones

Safe indoor flying with added protection from propeller guards

Capable of flying slowly and smoothly, perfect for capturing cinematic shots

Cost-effective due to their smaller size and components

Disadvantages of Cinewhoop Drones

Shorter flight times due to less efficient propeller， motors and added weight

Slower and less agile compared to standard freestyle drones

Not suitable for aggressive freestyle maneuvers

Factors to Consider When Choosing Cinewhoop Parts There are four sizes of cinewhoops available: 20, 25, 30, and 35, which correspond to propeller sizes (2", 2.5", 3", and 3.5"). Let's explore how to select the right cinewhoop parts based on these different sizes.

Propeller Size Selection When choosing the best propellers for your cinewhoop, consider the following factors:

Efficiency: How does propeller choice affect flight time?

Noise Level: Quieter propellers are less disruptive.

Power: Evaluate thrust and throttle requirements for hovering.

Smoothness: Check for vibrations introduced by the propellers.

Responsiveness: Assess how propellers impact flight performance.

Best 2-inch Props for Cinewhoops

The Emax Avan 3-blade propellers offer an excellent balance of performance and efficiency, with impressive flight times, especially at cruising speeds. The Gemfan 20354 and Gemfan 20364 also provide excellent power, although they may require larger motors.

Up in the Air - Returning to building and flying racing drones

New Post has been published on http://planet-geek.com/2018/07/30/geekitude/up-in-the-air-returning-to-building-and-flying-racing-drones/

Up in the Air - Returning to building and flying racing drones

Over the last year or two I’ve taken time off building and flying quadcopters. Life and other things has been taking up my brain, so some hobbies took a back seat.

Up at the lab, an event was coming up that would bring in some other pilots from New Hampshire and do a race day. I decided it was time to build a new quad, and get some race time in.

The last big event I went to was NAFPV 2017. It was great fun, and I ended up winning a 220mm carbon fiber frame. With that in hand, I began building up a new quad.

The technology has changed dramatically since my first builds. All in one components, ‘stacks’, and other tech has made the builds both more complicated (lots of tiny wire soldering), and easier (most boards are the same size, and can be stacked on top of one another). Turns out pretty much none of the components I had on hand would work on the new quad, so I had to purchase all new pieces. Here’s what I ended up with:

Wolfwhoop TX1912 5.8 video transmitter – I chose this board for the MMCX small antenna connection, and the ability to select bands and channels easily via a button and an LED display on the top. Super handy.

CaddX FPV Camera

CrazyPony 4in1 ESC This is probably the biggest change for me. Originally I built quads using separate discrete ESC’s. This board puts all 4 ESC’s on a single board. It definitely makes the wiring cleaner, but a little denser on the stack.

Crazypony 2206 2700kv motors

Betaflight F4 flight controller Betaflight is certainly the star as far as flight controllers and software goes right now. Their configuration tool is excellent, and the board is very good. I was slightly concerened about working with a board that had no header pins, but decided to roll up my sleeves and get experience in very tight soldering setups.

FS-X6B Flysky receiver – Yeah, I’m still rocking the FlySky setup. It’s still working well for me. I like this receiver because it can mount on the component stack (even though it’s a half-board).

Quadzilla

The build went off without too much trouble. I found all the missing tiny bits I needed, did lots of very small soldering, and over the space of 3 weeks, got everything assembled and tested. It worked! All the components were talking to each other properly, and I even have a fully function OSD (on screen display) showing stats from the batteries, flight controller, and receiver. Even got the LED strip showing the arming state and a set of ‘tail lights’. Hurray!

I did a very quick flight test to check stability, then went up to the lab to put the final touches on things. This is where I made my first mistake.

Kids, don’t do this.

I decided to take Quadzilla outside for a quick LOS test fly. My FPV gear wasn’t ready for flight testing, but I wanted to see the LED’s and play around. I put the quad on the ground, armed it (which spin the props slowly), stepped back, and gave it a little throttle. The quad lifted, started to move backwards, and basically… fell into my hands… still throttled and running. Those props HURT. I scraped up my hands a bit before I was able to disarm.

So what did I do wrong? Pretty easy actually.

I flew Line of Sight at night. LOS requires visibility on the yaw, pitch, and roll of your craft. I coudln’t see it, it was too dark.

The rear LEDs were pointing at me, which made it even harder to see.

I was in Air mode, not Angle mode, which means there was no flight stabilization. Quad did what I told it to, which in this case was to fly right at me.

Embarrassing, slightly painful, but no major harm done. Bleeding stopped within 10 minutes.

Chagrined, I took the quad home, cleaned up, and started prepping for the race, which would be in 3 days. The quad was pretty much ready to fly, I needed to set the mode selector properly, and tweak the LEDs. I also decided to move the battery from underneath the frame to on top of the top deck. Plenty of room there, and the quad would sit on the ground when taking off or landing, not on the battery. Win!

Turns out my batteries needed some love. The 1300mah 90C batteries i got last summer had been sitting idle for a year. Of the 8 batteries I had, one melted while charging, another was puffy so I decided not to use it. That left 6, which charged okay, but my parallel charger has seen better days. A new gang charging situation is needed, more on this in another post.

I charged all my other gear, including a nifty little all in one 9″ monitor with build in 5.8 receiver I carry with me. Great for checking video and watching other pilots fly. I packed up everything into the Jeep and on Sunday, headed up to the lab for race day.

The folks from the 603 Southern New Hampshire Drone Pilots group showed up, bringing our total pilots to about 10. We ran a couple heats with 4-5 craft in the air at once, on a short ‘H’ shaped course that had several gates and a ‘turnaround’ cube in the middle. The course was off the end of the back parking lot, so there was plenty of room to drive up, park, set up your tables, and get flying without fear of getting hit or getting in anyone’s way.

I flew 3 batteries. First flight was a very basic FPV test (as really this was my first FPV time on the new quad this year, and things went fine. Video was strong and clear, and the quad was very responsive. I flew completely in Angle mode, which is a VERY simple flight mode. I wasn’t comfortable enough yet to go into anything that would let me go more crazy. This was a first time out, I didn’t want to shatter anything.

Second battery apparently was in bad shape. No strong thrust, just running limp. I figured out later the 4S pack had a dead cell, and was functioning as a 3S. That explains that.

Last battery was in good shape, and I was feeling the power of that 4S setup. Unfrotunately, because I was in angle mode, I couldn’t pitch forward enough to get decent speed out of it (I’d just climb), so I was taking it pretty easy. I flew a gate or two, then went through the last one on the course – I caught a motor on that, which spun me out into the trees. The damage to Quadzilla is pretty minor, but I did rip out my VTX antenna, so that ended me for the day. I’m not complaining, I flew, I had a great time with the other pilots, and you’ll be damned sure to see me flying again soon.

Considerations for Selecting Cinewhoop Drone Parts

Cinewhoops come in various sizes, including 20, 25, 30, and 35, denoting the propeller sizes: 20 (2-inch), 25 (2.5-inch), 30 (3-inch), and 35 (3.5-inch). Choosing the right cinewhoop parts depends on your preferred size. Let's explore the factors to consider and recommendations for different prop sizes:

Prop Size Selection:

When choosing propellers for your cinewhoop, it's best to experiment with various options to find the ideal match for your setup.

Consider factors like efficiency, noise level, power, smoothness, and responsiveness when assessing propellers.

The best 2-inch props include the Emax Avan 3-blade for excellent performance and efficiency.

For 2.5-inch cinewhoops, the Azure 25403 and Emax Avan 2.5 inch props are top choices.

GEMFAN D76 DUCTED 76MM 5 BLADE props are recommended for 3-inch cinewhoops, offering a balanced combination of force, noise level, balance, efficiency, and mounting options.

Motor Selection:

Choose motors based on the specific size and requirements of your cinewhoop.

Early cinewhoops used 1408 and 1507 motors, but motor selection has evolved.

For 2.5-inch cinewhoops, consider motors between 1106 and 1408, with MEPS 1404 Brushless Motors being a recommended choice.

For 3-inch cinewhoops, MEPS 2004 3000KV motors offer the right stator volume and kv for supporting action cameras while maintaining clear and jello-free video.

Battery Selection:

Select the appropriate battery based on motor KV, propeller size, weight, and desired flight time.

Cinewhoops do not require high-C rated batteries used in racing, as they focus on smooth and relaxed filming.

Consider batteries like the TATTU R-LINE 1050MAH 95C 4S XT60 for more aggressive flying or higher cruising speeds.

Frame Selection:

Choose a frame that suits your specific cinewhoop build.

The BetaFPV 95X V3 2.5-inch frame offers a polished and professional design.

The iFlight BumbleBee V3 3-inch frame provides durability and a lightweight, low-resonance frame for reliable performance.

ESC & FC Selection:

Due to the small frame size, cinewhoops need ESCs capable of handling higher voltages and currents.

Flight Controllers with 20x20 stacks are popular for cinewhoops, as they are lighter.

Consider options like the Mamba F722 Mini Betaflight Flight Controller & Mamba F40 MINI ESC for micro quad FPV racing.

In conclusion, the selection of cinewhoop parts should align with your specific prop size and desired cinematic goals. Be sure to test different components to find the perfect combination that suits your needs and preferences.
