Overview
Cinematic FPV drones — particularly cinewhoops — have transformed video production. Ducted propellers make them safe to fly near people and objects, enabling impossible shots for real estate, events, and film. These drones prioritize smooth flight characteristics, low noise, and HD video recording over speed or agility.
Common Equipment
- Ducted cinewhoop frames (BetaFPV, iFlight, GEPRC)
- Low-KV motors (1507-2004, 3600-4500KV for 3")
- DJI O3 or Walksnail digital video
- GoPro or naked GoPro cameras
- 4S 650-850mAh LiPo packs
- ND filters and camera protection
Recycling & Sustainability
Professional cinematic pilots upgrade frequently to stay current with the latest video technology. Previous-generation cinewhoops in excellent condition are ideal for the refurbished market. End-of-life ducted frames and outdated video systems are recycled for material recovery.
