Tiny Whoop
Tiny Whoop[1] has evolved as the term to define the generic class of micro-first-person-view (FPV) quadcopter drones, often used in indoor racing. Pilots wear virtual reality-like goggles that give them a first-person-view from the standpoint of the drone. [2]
Tiny Whoop is known as the only class of racing drones that's safe to race close to spectators. These aircraft are very small and light (not more than 35 grams, or about an ounce) resulting in little to no property damage when crashed. Therefore they can be flown in venues larger racing drones could not[3]
There are two major categories in tiny whoop: “Brushed” and “Brushless” are the types of motor used in a quadcopter. Originally, Tiny Whoops were all using brushed motors. They were popular because of how easy they are to use. Brushed motors only have 2 wires as opposed to the 3 wires on brushless motors. Brushed motors are known to have shorter lifespans but they are cheap to replace, while brushless motors are more expensive but can last much longer usually. [4]
