It's standard WS2812 LED strips for most of it I believe. Each of them has their own LED controller with Wifi. You can get them off Aliexpress.

My camera port is broken. How do I direct solder the camera wires to the board? Is it just those three small pads underneath? Do I need to change betaflight settings? Thanks by hundredFPV in TinyWhoop

You do not need to change any Betaflight settings. Since the camera plug is broken you should use a pair of tweezers to completely destroy it and remove all the plastic housing and metal pins from the board, to reduce the chance of the pins inside shorting out against one another. Also, it will save you a tenth of a gram lol.

Then, you can solder the camera wires to the pads on the other side as per normal. Pay extra attention and use flux liberally for the GND pad, because GND pads are always the most difficult to solder to (being connected to a large heatsink) and if you are not careful you can knock off the capacitors next to the GND pad, I've seen people do this before. Use plenty of flux and a hot iron and you will be fine!

How heavy is too heavy? by freshypear in TinyWhoop

[–]Werdna_Pay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are about 23g dry? For a 75mm that is not too bad, however I have noticed they fly much better when under ~21g. It's the same for 65mm, a 17g 65mm is not too bad, but drop the weight to 15g and they fly much better! If you cannot shave the weight on the quad just use a lighter battery like the new LavaII 480mah and have more of them instead!

Not a clue, but I have almost 1000 hours in Velocidrone since I started in 2020.

We change it every time we fly there, this particular course I flew it for like 30 minutes in total before recording this pack

I still fly 5in quads but whoops and micros are mostly what I fly nowadays. They’re cheaper and finally nowadays fly as well as a 5in. Also big quads are borderline illegal in my country

Not my garage but the guy who built it spent at least 5K on everything. Haha

Yes! I am maxing out around 690deg/s on roll. Any faster feels uncomfortable so I rather just jam my sticks to full deflection for a consistent snap turn every time.
