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.

And The whoop quadcopter package includes the DJI O3 HD Digital VTX Antenna Mount.

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:

Flight Controller

We upgraded the FC from F4 1S 12A AIO FC V3 to F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1. The upgraded FC features an ESC with a pulse overcurrent capacity of 25A, ensuring stable operation of the flight controller even in the event of motor stalling. The addition of a 9V 2A BEC power supply ensures the stable operation of the DJI O3 HD VTX when the battery voltage is low. It also includes a DJI O3 6-pin PMU allowing for connection to HD VTX without soldering. It integrates features such as a 16MB black box, with support for GPS, external receivers, and other devices. The redesigned solder pad layout and USB connector make installation and maintenance easier and more convenient.

F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1

We also have extended the USB port to the end for easier parameter adjustment and wiring. A new DJI O3 6-pin PMU has been added for convenient installation and maintenance.

Power System

The 1102 | 14000kv motor brings stronger power and lower noise, delivering abundant thrust and impressive speed that enable effortless execution of aerial maneuvers. Paired with the high-performance Gemfan 45mm propeller, this power system achieves superb balance, ensuring powerful lift and stable flight, while also providing precise and responsive control. The combination of these power systems makes it an excellent choice for Pavo Pico, allowing pilots to easily accomplish filming tasks.

Carbon Fiber VTX Adapter

We found that the installation dimensions of the Vista and Avatar HD Pro digital VTX modules closely match those of the O3 digital VTX. Thus, Installing a carbon plate with mounting holes that measure 20x20mm is sufficient to mount both digital VTXs. Install quickly and effortlessly, while meeting pilots' various DIY needs, and exploring more possibilities for flying.

Pavo Series

BETAFPV has been dedicated to enhancing the performance of the Pavo Cinewhoop Series through continuous optimization and upgrades. The Pavo Cinewhoop Series including Pavo25, Pavo30, and Pavo360, is designed to deliver exceptional results when it comes to capturing breathtaking and seamless footage. Additionally, these drones offer pilots an exhilarating flight experience that's bound to satisfy their cravings for adventure.

I really love this little drone!

I wasn't sure at first, but took a chance since I wanted both a tiny drone that I could fly inside and near people, but also a drone with HD footage. This is the best of both worlds. It is a blast to fly, and is very easy for a novice like me to control.

I do wish that BetaFPV would include their PIDs, but I'm guessing it is something that exists in the stock firmware. I should have saved it before upgradeing BetaFlight.

I also need to play around with rates, another thing I think BetaFPV could have done. Need one for flying inside, and one for flying outside / acro.

Beware, BetaFPV ships these from China, so you'll need to be patient to receive your drone. There are other retailers that sell it within the states.

I like that it comes with some protection for the DJI O3 camera, but found it challenging to push on. And when it is pushed on, it seems you can't use the lens covers. I was able to modify it and still use mine, but that could have been planned better.

Kinda like it but...

it was not the right choice for me.
The Pavo Pico powered by 2s LiPos is probably the most O3 fun you can have just cuisine around with the lowest possible foot print. But I did want more ompfff. So I was a little disappointed. The Pavo pico is not an agil freestyle whoop. I orderer just some days later a pavo 20. 3s. Same concept just a little larger but with exactly that power, I was looking for. The Pavo 20 beats the pico in almost every aspect, except size and weight.
So in case you are looking for the smallest, lightest o3 carrier that simply works. Get a pico. If size is debatable but agility not. Grap a pavo 20 and leave the pico out.
