The Best Four Micro Whoop Drone
1.HAPPYMODEL Mobula7 1S Whoop
The Mobula6 is definitely most pilots favourite tiny whoop for beginners. But in 2022 they brought Mobula7 whoop drone, a huge update.
The canopy has been redesigned and weighs only 0.8 grams. The flight controller is brand new and it is called the x12 5-IN-1 AIO FC , which has a built-in spi express lrs receiver. These are all on one board with the benefit of being lighter and simpler to install. But when one component of your AIO FC is broken, you will have to buy a brand new AIO FC.
The motors are also new 0802 20000 kv motors,use a larger 1.5mm motor shaft, in general 1s whoop drones use a 1mm motor shaft for their motors, which is easy to break.
The 400mW VTX and ExpressLRS receiver allowed us to fly around the whole house without worrying about any signal issues. You get a good 5-6 minutes of flight time on the 1S 450mAh battery.
Pros:
- With a 75mm wheelbase this makes it super easy to fly indoors and through obstacles.
- The PID tuning is excellent out of the box.
Cons:
- Unfriendly design for crossfire TX location
