I couldn't help it, I just had to

I have been watching the Tiny Whoop craze with interest and finally did something about it.
It's not a Tiny Whoop but it does the job.
I can't believe the video quality out of this little camera.
The flight time is quite low, less than 2 minutes, I need bigger batteries.
I will upload some video from my Dominators when I get to fly somewhere a bit tidier than my messy house.

Super cool. I'm def getting one or two of these. Might even spring for 4 along with some cheap lcd monitor type goggles with built in Rx, get a few kits together to help introduce people to FPV quad flying indoors over the winter.

Hey guys. Help me out please. I'm interested in this tiny whoop craze. I was looking at this one to get me started.
http://graysonhobby.com/inductrix-fpv-i ... combo.html what else do I need to hook it up to my DX6 Tx. and get me going. Your opinion is well appreciated.

Dog, that looks pretty complete if you already have a transmitter. Maybe need a few extra batteries for the inductrix and a paraboard or octopus cord to charge them all up?

Thank you pvolcko for that information. I think I'm going to give it a try.

Well, I did something really stupid on the weekend.
I have some batteries I got with my little H8 that are the same size as the ones in this little machine.
The plug is slightly different but I was able to modify it to make it fit.
Unfortunately it also fit the wrong way and that is just what I did.
In too much of a hurry to get it flying, I did not bother to put my glasses on.
The props on the quad went immediately to full speed so I unplugged really quick.
Too late, that sickly, burning electronics smell came from the VTX on the camera.
I plugged it in the right way and it still works but as soon as you spin up the motors the video turns to absolute garbage.
I imagine the power filtering part of the VTX has been destroyed.
It was fun while it lasted, I just have to get another as soon as I can afford it.
On a plus side, the little quad still works perfectly and that really surprised me.
