Eachine 010 FPV-EachineWhoop-$53 Tiny Whoop

A while back I bought a couple Eachine 010's to have fun with because they worked well, were durable, and came at a low cost of $15. I finally decided to step up my game and make the Mini racer FPV. So I ordered the EF-01, a micro FPV camera by Eachine. Should've checked the Flite Test store before though, because It said in bright red letters that the camera was not suitable for the tiny whoop. Amazon said it was, but they let me return it and get the refund. So then I ordered the FX797T micro FPV camera, which weighed a lot less, and it worked! In this article, I'm gonna show you the "build" process.

Here's a video I created on the build and flight footage:

Fisrt I removed the old props so I could put brand new ones in:

I also Installed the rubber bands earlier that hold down the camera . The build is straight forward from here, install the camera and solder on the power leads. I added a barbecue skewer in the middle of the two solder points to make sure the polarities don't touch and short out:

Then I simply pre-tinned the solder points and soldered the power cables from the cable on.

Now I just slapped the camera on via rubber bands and voila! We have the EachineWhoop. I would say the only problem with the Eachine whoop is the fact that I only get 1:40 second flight time with the stock battery.

So this was a "successful" project but it didn't go as well as I thought it would. I'm next going to put this same FPV camera on the Eachine H8S 3D which is an inverted flying mini quadcopter that has WAY more power. I strapped the camera onto test without soldering for power and the thing flew like the camera wasn't even on it.

To conclude, even though this thing did fly FPV, it was way underpowered, had little flight time, and could not fly fast without loosing altitude easily. I suggest doing this mod on the Eachine H8S 3D, because it has way more power. A video and maybe an article on that will be out soon. If you do choose the eachine 010, put a bigger battery, maybe a new flight control board (DSM2), and definitely new motors.
