DESCRIPTION

Thanks to all the enthusiastic pilots who participated in the BETA TEST before, we’ve now released the smallest 2S about 100g DJI O3 Cinewhoop! This ultra-light cinewhoop with a small wheelbase is not only equipped with 45mm propellers but also the latest F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1 which greatly heightens the flying experience. Due to Its split design HD VTX mounting bracket, it supports quick installation of mainstream HD digital VTX modules and a rubber damper vibration-damping design with GyroFlow stabilization software ensures stable and smooth HD images. Its design is well-suited for cruising indoors and outdoors alike.

We upgraded the FC board since the second batch, details are below:

  1. Stable 9V 2A BEC power for the DJI O3 HD VTX, preventing disruptions caused by low battery voltage.
  2. Improve ESC to 20A and a peak current of 25A, allowing it to handle special situations like motor blockage or stalling.
  3. Connector for DJI O3 HD VTX and USB port for easy installation and maintenance.

Pavo Pico Brushless Whoop Quadcopter
Note: The Camera and HD Digital VTX(DJI O3 HD Digital VTX, Walksnail Avatar HD Digital VTX, and Vista HD Digital VTX) are not included in all packages. you need to buy them separately.

Bullet Point

  • The split-design HD VTX mounting bracket is compatible with popular models like DJI O3 Air Unit, Walksnail Avatar HD Pro, and Caddx Vista. The side bracket, rubber damper vibration-damping design, lens holder, and antenna have all been reinforced to suppress low-frequency vibration and enhance the safety of HD VTX, ensuring a stable output of high-definition videos. Simply connect the VTX cable and complete the binding process to start flying.
  • To safeguard the DJI O3 camera lens and maintain consistent high-definition video output during flight, both a lens filter and a lens protection mount are included.
  • The battery slot and HD VTX mounting bracket duct height have been reduced to enhance the overall flying experience. DIY battery fixing methods are also supported, making them compatible with batteries of varying sizes and capacities.
  • The new F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1 upgrades from F4 1S 12A FC V3, weighs only 5.92 grams, and is optimized for HD digital VTX. Its improved computing power, high response speed, and stable flight make it an ideal choice for HD whoops.
  • The frame is constructed using PA12 material, known for its exceptional impact resistance and effortless installation process

Specification

Note: The flight time is calculated under 8.4V~6.8V. The battery will be upgraded from 450mAh 2S Battery to LAVA 2S 450mAh 75C Battery from Feb 2024, and the second batch of FC starts in Aug 2023. 

HD Digital VTX System

Pavo Pico supports various types of HD VTX. DJI O3 and Walksnail Avatar Pro Kit both support HD digital VTX up to 1080P using dual-band transmission technology for better signal stability. The Vista Kit supports digital signal transmission for HD video up to 720P, with low latency and superior image quality performance. It’s compact and lightweight, making it great for small drone installation, and compatible with various remote controls and monitors. The customized HD VTX mounting bracket has a split design, making it effortless to install for pilots DIY, and explore more possibilities while ensuring HD image quality.

ND Filter for DJI O3 Camera

BETAFPV ND Filter for DJI O3 Camera is specifically designed for the Pavo Pico Brushless Whoop Quadcopter. Meanwhile, the DJI O3 Air Unit ND Filters are tailored for the DJI O3 Air Unit and are capable of reducing the amount of light that enters the camera lens. With this feature, you can achieve slower shutter speeds or wider apertures when flying. These lightweight filters are crafted from high-quality optical class ensuring optimal image clarity and are too easy to install on the build.

Pavo Pico Frame Kit

We used ultra-light PP material to make the HD VTX mounting bracket, increasing its toughness. The antenna fixing slot and frame have been fused to reduce damage risk, while the camera’s installation height has been lowered with a protective printed part to limit its movable angle to within 30°. Additionally, an O3 filter can be used to protect the lens and enhance image quality. We have incorporated a unique rubber damper vibration-damping design, used with GyroFlow stabilization software, which greatly enhances safety and ensures a smooth, HD image output. When you screw the die-cast screws, please DO NOT screw them too tight to leave room for rubber dampers to absorb vibration. It may cause jello in the video footage.

DJI O3 Vibration Problem

To tackle the challenge of vibration on many whoop drones, the DJI O3 unit is mounted on a carbon fiber plate with 4 rubber dampers. This innovative design ensures peak performance and perfect stability.
Troubleshooting:
To improve video quality when recording with DJI O3 HD VTX, turn off its electronic stabilization and use GyroFlow stabilization software.
When fixing the HD VTX bracket with M1.4*10 screws, ensure that the nut just touches the shock-absorbing ball.
The Jello effect may occur during the above installation due to 2 reasons:
  • The VTX bracket is over-tightened with the screw and the rubber dumper is totally deformed. To solve this, make sure that the screw is tightened just enough to touch the shock-absorbing ball and keep the ball and bracket loose.
  • If It is a large deformation of the frame or quadcopter blades, replace the frame or blades with larger vibrations if necessary.
Note: use acetate tape to bind motor wires and prevent them from drooping and interfering with the propeller’s rotation.

Upgrade Low Profile Design

After collecting feedback through the BETA TEST, we lowered the height of the HD VTX mounting bracket and whoop duct from 60.6mm to 51.5mm and the battery compartment results in a more low profile on the cinewhoop.

Pilots can further customize their cinewhoop with DIY options such as battery straps or printable components, allowing for compatibility with a variety of battery sizes. This enables pilots to tailor and enhance their cinewhoop to meet their specific requirements and preferences. Steps as follow:
