This 22.8 gram 1S WHOOP has HDZERO digital FPV. That's super cool, but is it light enough to be competitive at an analog whoop race? I took it to Sumerian Brewery to find out! Links and related videos below:

    I love how whoop races are always at brewery's haha
  • And just when I thought my chronic tiny whoop addiction couldn't get any worse along comes Mr. Shutterbug with HD.
  • @baggszilla
    Yess I can't wait to get my hands on some 1s HDZero whoop VTXs!
  • @TeeDubb
    Can't wait for this to be available!
  • @AGILISFPV
    HD Whoops is the future, no doubt about that. Thank you for making things like this happen!
  • @RyanQuellet
    Love this content. I am hopeful for a high quality 4x3 3g camera soon - would be a game changer
  • I really need to get down there for one of the events that course looks dope!
  • @rancorbob
    Also I'm going to vote soft bends are best too on those delicate MIPIs too thanks for the tip!
  • @rancorbob
    Man isn't it always MIPI cable LOL. Thanks for sharing shutterbug super clean build and one of a kind as usual! 👌 well done sir
  • @mouseFPV
    not apples to apples but I've found the MIPI's on my vistas to be a bit of a weak point as well. Not a unique issue to HDz. congrats on 4th place! track looked fun :)
  • @JPspinFPV
    I gotta start going into Sumerian for these whoop races. Never raced before myself, but damn interested.

    I will get back to whoops when this 1S HDZero Vtx is available. I experienced a similar behavior with the whoop Vtx + HDZeroNano camera on my TinyTrainer. Sometimes after a crash or randomly after plug-in image gets black. Have not tried changing the Mipi cable, now will try and see if that is the issue. Thanks! Love your videos.
  • Damn mipi cable at it again. Really want one. Not sure building one is up my alley yet.

    Looking forward to what HDZero has lined up for release. Watching Analog and HDZero back to back looks like the difference I see when putting my previous prescription glasses on. It is clearer but not sharp. 😆.

    The weight penalty has become small. Certainly small enough for it to be of interest in my favorite class of quads - toothpick. It is amazing to see a viable digital whoop. There is still a cost penalty and these days I have to pinch my pennies awfully hard. I'm still hoping that the cost will come down a bit more. Watching HDZero closely because that would be my choice of digital as of today.
  • I built a 2s version after seeing your vid. I absolutely love my hdzero mobula7. BUT,,, 5 or 6 batteries in my foxeer camera stopped working. Now i am grounded for 20 days or so while my camera is on the slow boat from China..
