Pavo Pico Brushless Whoop Quadcopter O3 HD VTX
Thanks to all the enthusiastic pilots who participated in the BETA TEST before, now we have released the smallest 2S about 100g DJI O3 Cinewhoop! This ultra-lightweight cinewhoop with a small pitch is not only equipped with 45mm propellers but also the latest F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1 which greatly increases the flight experience. With the split-design HD VTX mounting bracket, it supports quick installation of the main HD digital VTX modules, and a rubber anti-vibration design with GyroFlow stabilization software ensures stable and smooth HD images. Its design is suitable for both indoor and outdoor navigation.
We have updated the FC card from the second batch, the details are given below:
- Stable 9V 2A BEC power supply for DJI O3 HD VTX, preventing cut-off caused by low battery voltage.
- Upgrade the ESC to 20A and 25A peak current, allowing it to handle special situations such as motor lockup or stall.
- Connector for DJI O3 HD VTX and USB port for easy installation and maintenance.
For more details see the Flight Controller section.
Note: The camera and HD Digital VTX ( DJI O3 HD Digital VTX, Walksnail Avatar HD Digital VTX, and Vista HD Digital VTX) are not included in all packages. You need to purchase them separately.
Characteristics
- The split-design HD VTX mounting bracket is compatible with popular models such as DJI O3 Air Unit, Walksnail Avatar HD Pro, and Caddx Vista. The side bracket, rubber shock absorber anti-vibration design, lens mount, and antenna have all been reinforced to suppress low-frequency vibration and improve the safety of the HD VTX, ensuring stable high-definition video output. Simply plug in the VTX cable and complete the pairing process to start flying.
- To safeguard the DJI O3 camera lens and maintain consistent high-definition video output during flight, both a lens filter and a lens protection mount are included.
- The battery slot and duct height of the HD VTX mounting bracket have been reduced to improve the overall flight experience. DIY battery mounting methods are also supported, making them compatible with batteries of various sizes and capacities.
- The new F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1 upgrades from F4 1S 12A FCV3, weighs only 5.92 grams and is optimized for HD digital VTX. Its improved processing power, high response speed and stable flight make it the ideal choice for HD whoops.
- The frame is constructed using PA12 material, known for its exceptional impact resistance and simple installation process.

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. Vista Kit supports digital signal transmission for HD video up to 720P, with low latency and superior image quality performance. It is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for installing small drones and compatible with various remote controllers and monitors. The customized HD VTX mounting bracket has a split design, which makes it easier for DIY pilots to install 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 Whoop Brushless Pavo Pico Quadcopter. Meanwhile, DJI O3 Air Unit ND Filters are custom-made for DJI O3 Air Unit and are able to reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens. With this function, you can achieve slower shutter speeds or wider apertures during flight. These lightweight filters are made with high-quality optical class that ensures optimal image sharpness and are too easy to install on the structure.
Pavo Pico Frameset
We have used ultra-light PP material to make the VTX HD Mount Bracket, increasing its sturdiness. The antenna fixing slot and frame have been cast to reduce the risk of damage, while the camera installation height has been lowered with a protective molding to limit the camera movement angle within 30°. In addition, an O3 filter can be used to protect the lens and improve image quality. We have incorporated a unique rubber shock absorber vibration damping design, used with GyroFlow stabilization software, which greatly improves safety and ensures smooth HD image output. When screwing in the die-cast screws, DO NOT screw them too tight to leave room for the rubber shock absorbers to absorb vibration. It may cause gelatin in the footage.

And the whoop quadcopter package includes DJI O3 HD Digital VTX antenna mount.
DJI O3 Vibration Problem
- The VTX bracket is over-tightened with the screw and the rubber damper is completely deformed. To fix this problem, make sure the screw is tightened just enough to touch the damper ball and keep the ball and bracket loose.
- If there is a large deformation of the quadcopter frame or blades, replace the frame or blades with greater vibrations if necessary.
Update low profile design
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 allows pilots to customize and enhance their cinewhoop to suit their specific needs and preferences. Steps as follows:
Flight Controller
We have upgraded the FC from F4 1S 12A AIOFC V3 to F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1. The upgraded FC features an ESC with a 25A pulse overcurrent capability, ensuring stable operation of the flight controller even when the motor stalls. The addition of a 9V 2A BEC power supply ensures stable operation of the DJI O3 HD VTX when the battery voltage is low. It also includes a 6-pin DJI O3 PMU that allows connection to the HD VTX without soldering. It integrates features such as a 16MB black box, with support for GPS, external receivers and other devices. The redesigned layout of the soldering pad and USB connector make installation and maintenance easier and more convenient.

Note: The second batch of FC starts in August 2023. And if you use F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1, the SBUS receiver serial port is UART5 while F4 1S 12A AIO Brushless FC V3 is UART6.
We also extended the USB port to the end for easier parameter adjustment and wiring. A new 6-pin DJI O3 PMU has been added for convenient installation and maintenance.
Powerful propulsion system
The 1102 | 14000kv motor provides increased power and reduced noise, providing abundant thrust and impressive speed that allow for effortless execution of aerial maneuvers. Paired with the high-performance 45mm Gemfan propeller, this powerful propulsion system achieves an exceptional balance, providing powerful lift and stable flight, while providing precise and responsive control. The combination of this powerful propulsion system makes it an excellent choice for the Pavo Pico, allowing pilots to carry out filming tasks with ease.
VTX Carbon Fiber Adapter
We found that the installation dimensions of Vista Digital VTX and Avatar HD Pro modules are very similar to those of O3 Digital VTX. Therefore, installing a carbon plate with mounting holes measuring 20x20mm is enough to mount both digital VTXs. Install it quickly and effortlessly, meeting pilots' various DIY needs and exploring more flight possibilities.
