CineWHOOPs are cool and fun, but expensive too. If you already own a RunCam Hybrid style 4K camera, using the Donut 3″ DIY drone kit you can build your on Whoop for less than $100. The package includes the 140mm size carbon fiber frame with super large ducted blade protectors, MAMBA F405 Mini flight controller with MK2 25A ESC and 1 set of spare propellers.
In order to take it in the air, besides the kit, you will need a radio receiver, transmitter and a compatible LIPO battery. Of course, for FPV flights, in addition to the FPV camera, you will also need a video transmitter (5.8G VTX) and FPV goggles.
