A hand-built 65mm 1S race whoop from Five33, assembled around HDZero digital video and tuned and test-flown before shipping. At 18.6g bare it sits at the light end of the digital-whoop class, aimed at indoor and whoop-track racing.

Worth knowing

Made to order rather than stocked: a listing shown as "in stock" means orderable, and builds average a 2-4 week lead time before shipping despite the RTF label.

Carries a hand-build premium over factory BNF whoops that use the same HDZero AIO5 electronics (e.g., the Happymodel Mobula6 HD line).

The onboard ELRS receiver is SPI-based on an F411 MCU: its firmware is baked into Betaflight and cannot be updated independently, and Betaflight/ELRS developers are phasing out SPI+F411 targets, so long-term firmware support depends on HDZero/HappyModel.

The full story

Five33 builds each unit by hand in Evan Turner's Maryville, Tennessee shop, on a BetaFPV Air65 II frame around the HDZero AIO5 board and HDZero Eco camera, with HQProp 31mm props, 0702 30000KV motors, and BT2.0 batteries. Everything is standard, off-the-shelf hardware, so spares are cheap and easy to source. Orders come with a choice of four camera angles (30/35/37/40 degrees) and a black or white frame — those variants are camera angles, not motor KV.

"" here means fully built, race-tuned, and test-flown before shipping — it flies well out of the box without DIY tuning — but no battery, radio, or goggles are included. At 18.6g bare it sits at the light end of the digital-whoop class, with 1S race-class agility and low crash energy, and it's aimed at indoor and whoop-track racing rather than outdoor cruising.

Native HDZero video makes it a direct match for HDZero goggles like the BoxPro+: a 720p-class image with the low, fixed latency HDZero is known for, a clear step up from analog whoop video. The Eco is the budget composite-signal camera in the HDZero lineup, so image quality sits below the Lux/nano-class HDZero cameras, and the tops out at 200mW through a linear antenna — fine for indoor racing, with limited range and penetration outdoors.

The built-in 2.4GHz receiver binds to any ELRS 2.4GHz radio (bind phrase or button via Betaflight, on ELRS v3), but it is SPI-based: its firmware is baked into Betaflight, cannot be updated independently, and there is no blackbox on the F411 MCU. With Betaflight and ELRS developers phasing out +F411 targets, long-term firmware headroom depends on HDZero/HappyModel. The AIO5 board does have a community reputation as one of the tougher 5-in-1 AIOs in a crash.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Native HDZero digital video pairs directly with HDZero goggles (e.g., BoxPro+): 720p-class image with the low, fixed latency HDZero is known for — a clear step up from analog whoop video.
  • Each unit is hand-built, race-tuned, and test-flown in Maryville, TN before shipping, so it flies well out of the box without DIY tuning.
  • 18.6g bare weight is exceptionally light for a digital whoop, giving 1S race-class agility and low crash energy.
Show all 6 pros
  • Built entirely from standard, off-the-shelf parts (BetaFPV Air65 II frame, HDZero AIO5, HDZero Eco cam, HQProp 31mm props, BT2.0 batteries), so spares are cheap and easy to source.
  • The HDZero AIO5 board has a reputation for crash durability in community reports (one of the tougher 5-in-1 AIOs).
  • Ordered with your choice of four camera angles (30/35/37/40 degrees) and black or white frame — note these variants are camera angles, not motor KV; the motor is fixed at 0702 30000KV.

Cons

  • The AIO5's ELRS receiver is SPI-based: its firmware is baked into Betaflight, cannot be updated independently, has no blackbox on the F411 MCU, and Betaflight/ELRS developers are phasing out SPI+F411 targets — long-term support depends entirely on HDZero/HappyModel. It binds fine to an ELRS v3 ELRS radio (bind phrase/button via Betaflight), but expect limited firmware headroom.
  • VTX tops out at 200mW through a linear antenna — fine for indoor racing, but limited range and penetration outdoors.
  • The HDZero Eco is the budget composite-signal camera in the HDZero lineup; image quality is below the Lux/nano-class HDZero cameras.

  • Made to order with an average 2-4 week lead time despite the RTF label, and battery, radio, and goggles are all sold separately.
