“REMOVE PROPS BEFORE CONNECTING TO BETAFLIGHT/INAV, BENCH TESTING, OR SETUP”


IF YOU WOULD LIKE A CUSTOM BNF PLEASE EMAIL INFO@CATALYSTMACHINEWORKS.COM. 

The FPV community has been begging us to make available a PRO level rig in DIY form. Meet the WhoopMaster 6" PRO. The big brother of our Whoopmaster 4". This is our first professional cinema FPV machine offered as either a BNF or frame kit. It uses many of the same design principles utilized in of our MoneyShot FPV drone lineup. It can be configured to carry a Cinema camera (Red Komodo, Panasonic BGH1, Naked Magic Pocket cam, etc...) or GoPro setup (dual or single). This machine can be configured as either "all-weather" or "standard". The all weather upgrade includes a large aluminum heat sink built into the top plate. Electronics that produce heat (ESC, VTX, camera UBEC) are mounted to this heat sink which serves to pull heat out of the watertight enclosure. A large TPU skirt surrounds your electronics and keeps them completely dry during service in rain or snow. Fit up to 6.1" props giving you plenty of throttle headroom for your whooptastic adventures. Unlike some other pro cinewhoops out there, the flight pack is mounted on bottom. This allows for lots of room to run huge lipos (up to 5100mah 6s) and get lots of flight time. The cinema camera antivibration mount (sold separate) places your camera in the top-center of the machine allowing for room to mount literally anything within the payload limit (3.5 LBS). The frame comes with 2 panel mount XT60's. One on bottom for the main flight pack and one on the top plate for powering your cinema camera from a UBEC. The props are surrounded by robust carbon fiber caged guards designed to take heavy impacts. You can add optional soft TPU bumpers for extra protection.

WM6" Intended Use: 

This craft flies like a giant "Whoop". It is intended for smooth and moderate to slow cruising and close proximity flying. Intended environment is indoor or outdoor with low to moderate winds. Our testing has shown that high winds may affect flight. If you are looking for a whoop that has serious power, can haul ass, and perform acro please look into our WhoopLifter 7" Y6.
