Building an AMAZING 1S WHOOP with HDZERO: Full Details & Acro Flight

Managed to get my HDZero 65mm build down to 19.59 grams thanks to your canopy, appreciate everything you have done for world of light whoops.

Cool build, by the way, you can save some extra weight by: 1. Ripping stickers of the battery, it gives another 0,3-0,5 grams, depending on a manufacturer. Which is quiet the same with replacing motor screws to renu 2. Replace canopy with my custom PET-canopy, made out of used PET bottle. It weights about 0,3 grams and gives mutch better protection than flex printed canopy. And also costs 0$. Let me know if you are interested, I can share the drawing, so you can build your own PET-conopy. (You may need to adjust it a bit to fit your camera, my is designed for runcam nano3 )

Man Nate, so much custom light weight whoop building wisdom squeezed into one video in a nice concise way! I’ve really been looking forward to this and it delivered! 🔥🔥🔥

A great way to remove motor connectors is to plug a motor plug into it, then heat the back and pull the wires.

Really neat! Hard to even imagine a 23g digital whoop. That’s about what the OG whoops used to weigh back when I first started flying.

finally, a "DJIized" smallest woop! Couldnt expect anything less from Mr.Shutter!

Great build video! Looking forward to building myself one of these once the HD Zero goggles are out! Little PSA for anyone watching this - For soldering stuff like this get yourself a PCB holder tool with alligator clips and put something non conductive on the jaws (I used some silicone RC fuel tubing) This way you can hold stuff with it powered on and protects the PCB from damage by jaws. Also when desoldering small connectors / pins etc don't apply force while heating the solder up, wait until they become loose then pull it out as otherwise you risk detaching the copper pads/traces from the connector side of the board (while the solder may have melted on the iron side it may still be solid on the connector side).

This is going to be my first 1S whoop, first HD Zero quad, AND my first quad with ELRS. This little quad looks AMAZING!! AND I get to build it myself, from components! Mr ShutterBug you are my whoop hero 😘😎 PS - In the past, I removed the connectors from an IFlight ESC and soldered the motor wires instead - BUT - I just cut the connectors off with wire cutters LMFAO your method with solder is so much neater - thanks for the tip 😀

man, i've missed this hobby. just coming back and went with hdzero. thanks for this vid. it was really helpful.

Holy moly, that's lighter than a Vista with Cam. If DJI does not come up with a lighter solution I have to get into HDZero sooner or later.

amazing, a digital video tx in such a micro quad was like a impossible dream few years ago

I'💖💖💖💖💖💖m not worthy!! WOW, Beautiful build....

I've been following your videos lately. I'm new to the hobby so I don't know a lot. I absolutely love the way you break it down, no BS, straight up. Is the video quality you posted what your seeing in your goggles? If it is... HdZero is what I need!

This is really where hdzero and elrs shine. Nice flight

Crazy how fast the tech is moving forward! I'd be interested to see what your tune is on this whoop. Great video, thanks!

What a great build, thank you for sharing in such detail! I’m also kind of blown away by those dives from the tree tops: pretty much straight down, and no yaw washout! Early reviews of the Mobula 6 HDZero have looked slightly underpowered, but your build seems to perform really well. My favorite flier these days is a 75mm 2s with DJI, but dives require very fine care to avoid coming down into dirty air or leveling out too late. Once again, great build!

For much hate BetaFPV gets, I've found this older style, 1S ELRS board has been very good. One of the best 1S out there. Only issue is the antenna, falls easily.

It’s great to see Mr. S’s little tricks!

Nice diving flight ! Awesome FPV 👍

I've been waiting for this video lol. This is really awesome. Who would have even thought this was possible a few years ago?? I'd love to see what you would do with a shutterbug 85 update with this VTX/cam. Mine has been a shelf queen since I got DJI so this seems like a great option to bring it back to life.
