Pavo Pico Brushless Whoop Quadcopter O3 HD VTX
Thanks to all the enthusiastic pilots who participated in the BETA TEST before, we have now released the smallest 2S around 100g DJI O3 Cinewhoop! This ultra-light cinewhoop with a short pitch is not only equipped with 45mm propellers but also the latest F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1 which greatly increases the flying experience. With a split-design HD VTX mounting bracket, it supports quick installation of major 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 navigation both indoors and outdoors.
We have updated the FC card from the second batch, the details are below:
- Stable 9V 2A BEC power supply for DJI O3 HD VTX, preventing interruptions caused by low battery voltage.
- It upgrades the ESC to 20A and a peak current of 25A, allowing it to handle special situations such as stalling or motor stalling.
- Connector for DJI O3 HD VTX and USB port for easy installation and maintenance.
For further details, see the Flight Controller paragraph.
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 damper anti-vibration design, lens mount and antenna have all been strengthened to suppress low-frequency vibration and improve the safety of the HD VTX, ensuring stable output of high-speed video. definition. Simply connect 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 lens protection holder are included.
- The battery slot and duct height of the HD VTX mounting bracket have been reduced to improve the overall flying experience. DIY battery attachment 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 the F4 1S 12A FCV3, weighs just 5.92 grams and is optimized for HD digital VTX. Its improved computing power, high response speed and stable flight make it an 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. The 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 setting up small drones and compatible with various remote controls and monitors. The custom HD VTX mounting bracket has a split design, which simplifies the installation for DIY pilots and explores 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, the DJI O3 Air ND filters are tailor-made for the DJI O3 Air and are capable of reducing the amount of light entering the camera lens. With this feature, you can achieve slower shutter speeds or wider apertures while flying. These lightweight filters are made with a high-quality optical class that ensures optimal image sharpness and are too easy to install on the structure.
Pavo Pico frame kit
We used ultra-light PP material to make the HD VTX mounting bracket, increasing its sturdiness. The antenna mounting slot and frame have been cast to reduce the risk of damage, while the camera's installation height has been lowered with a protective molding to limit its movement angle to within 30°. Additionally, 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 cast screws, DO NOT screw them in too tight to leave room for the rubber shock absorbers to absorb vibration. It may cause jelly in the footage.

And the whoop quadcopter package includes DJI O3 HD Digital VTX antenna mount.
DJI O3 vibration issue
- The VTX bracket is overtightened with the screw and the rubber shock absorber is completely deformed. To fix this, make sure the screw is tightened just enough to touch the shock ball and keep the ball and bracket loose.
- If it is a large deformation of the frame or blades of the quadcopter, replace the frame or blades with larger vibrations if necessary.
Update low profile design
Riders can further customize their cinewhoop with DIY options like battery straps or moldable components, allowing for compatibility with a variety of battery sizes. This allows pilots to customize and enhance their cinewhoop to meet 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 is equipped with an ESC with a pulse overcurrent capability of 25A, ensuring stable operation of the flight controller even in the event of motor stall. 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 HD VTX without soldering. It integrates features such as a 16MB black box, with support for GPS, external receivers and other devices. The redesigned soldering pad layout and USB connector make installation and maintenance easier and more convenient.

We also extended the USB port to the end for easy parameter adjustment and wiring. A new 6-pin DJI O3 PMU has been added for convenient installation and maintenance.
Powerful propulsion system
The 1102 | The 14000 kv motor offers increased power and reduced noise, offering 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 exceptional balance, ensuring powerful lift and stable flight, whilst providing precise and responsive control. The combination of this powerful propulsion system makes it an excellent choice for Pavo Pico, allowing pilots to easily carry out shooting tasks.
Carbon fiber VTX adapter
We found the installation dimensions of the Vista and Avatar HD Pro digital VTX modules to closely match those of the O3 digital VTXs. Therefore, installing a carbon plate with mounting holes measuring 20x20mm is sufficient to mount both digital VTXs. Install it quickly and effortlessly, meeting pilots' various DIY needs and exploring more flying possibilities.
