    Has anyone here been following the "tiny whoop" scene? I've been side eyeing it for years and half making fun of it. But I think it hit a price point and stability where I might want to dive into this hobby now. It satisfies my skateboarding background and nerd receptors at the same time!

    Thoughts?

    • What was there to make fun ofwith TIny Whoops? Thoughts here? I suppose it's cool ... if you choose to completely not value public safety...Nairn
    • Ive seen in NYC a few groups of people with FPV goggles on. Like onewheel ppl they need to be surrounded by RGB lightserr
    • As far as public safety goes its drones that weigh like 28grams with prop guards so they just bounce off things. Pretty harmlesserr
    • egh, no. I love this sort of shit, but.. 28 grams comprised of various things spinning at high RPM, hitting at potentially beyond terminal velocity? Nah.Nairn
    • I've got a tiny whoop but only for indoors, it's a blast. If you're going for outdoor flying I'd upgrade in size for more control.koma_
    • Start with a good controller and connect it to a simulator since you will crash a ton. Radiomaster Pocket is a great entry level one - just stick to eLRS formatkoma_
    • @koma_ what goggles you using?err
    • Cheapest analogs I could find: ev800dm This is a great resource: https://www.fpvknowi… (his YT videos helped me through all the connection / setup mess)koma_
    • I live in NYC and always wanted a drone but was afraid of what laws may exist. I'd love to get some footage of the tops of landmark buildings.CyBrainX
    • seems illegal and probably is.cannonball1978
