Have been finalising set up on a 25 CineWhoop.
I have had to start from complete scratch in Betaflight as what I was delivered new was badly corrupted and despite several requests over several weeks (with prompt but unproductive replies) the manufacturer has not provided valid Dump/Diff All config info.
Along the way I had to calibrate Voltage/Current.
Once done, the highest current I could record was from falling to full throttle power pump at 52A.
Batteries I had to hand in around the right size were:-
Tattu R-Line 850mAh 4S 95C, weighing between 101 and 102g
ACEHE 650mAh 4S 75C, weighing between 87 and 88.5g
GNB 1100mAh 4S HV 110/220C (Red Label), weighing between 120 and 122g
However, none were very happy used in this Cine Whoop, mild freestyle/cine type operation, so I bought some:-
GNB 1100mAh 4S HV 60/120C (Purple Label), weighing between 87 and 88g and much smaller than the red label GNB ones.
And the result? I'm easily getting in excess of 10 minutes flight time, stopping from choice at above 3.6v/cell under load, no performance sag.
The quad weighs 228g flight ready, standard Foxeer 25 CineWhoop, ELRS, HDZero Whoop Lite.
Only Mod was a TPU 3Dprint camera lens protector at insignificant weight increase, sub 1.5g.
Finally its capable of flying well and doing what I want!
