Cinewhoops are a specialized category of FPV drones designed with one primary goal in mind: creating smooth, stable, and cinematic aerial footage. They combine features of Whoops and larger drones:
Ducted Propellers: Similar to Whoops, the ducts enhance safety for flying near people, objects, and indoors, protecting both the props and the surroundings.
Flight Stability: The design and software tuning (PID tuning) of Cinewhoops are optimized for stability and smooth movement, rather than maximum agility or speed.
Ability to Carry HD Cameras: They are designed to carry an additional, high-quality camera (e.g., Naked GoPro, Insta360, DJI Action) or have built-in HD recording cameras (e.g., Caddx, Runcam), allowing for professional-looking recordings.
Size: Most commonly found in sizes ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 inches, offering a compromise between compactness, payload capacity, and stability.
Safety: Thanks to the ducts and stable flight characteristics, they are considered safer for close-proximity filming than traditional freestyle drones.
Popular Brands: At Avifly, we offer proven Cinewhoops from well-known manufacturers such as BetaFPV (e.g., Pavo series), GEPRC (e.g., CineLog series), or Flywoo (e.g., CineRace series).
Cinewhoops are not all-purpose FPV drones, but they excel in specific applications:
Real Estate Filming: Ideal for creating virtual tours of houses, apartments, or commercial properties, thanks to their ability to fly safely indoors.
"Follow Cam" Shots: Smoothly tracking moving subjects (cars, cyclists, runners) from a close distance.
Event Filming: Safely recording events, concerts, or gatherings from a unique perspective where a larger drone would be too risky.
Creative Cinematic FPV Shots: Creating dynamic yet smooth fly-throughs of tight spaces ("gaps"), windows, or complex paths.
Learning Controlled Flight: Their stable nature helps in learning precise FPV drone control.
Important: Cinewhoops are generally not suitable for aggressive freestyle or high-speed racing due to their higher weight, lower agility, and more delicate construction (ducts).
