FPV flying has evolved, and the gear that we use needs to evolve with us. Our needs are different: We are carrying larger cameras, we demand smoother flight characteristics so we can capture creamy smooth video, and we need motors that can execute maneuvers in a controlled, super silky way.
Can motors make you a better pilot? Well...no. But these motors can help you get the most from your skills.
Camera Butter Halo motorsare purpose-designed to have a torque curve, resolution and feel for butter-smooth FPV flying on a 5 or 6 -inch FPV drone. These motors are fantastic for both freestyle and cinematic flying.
These are unlike other motors that you're tried: A larger stator design and custom geometry increases low to mid throttle torque and response without sacrificing top end punch. This helps by giving you:
More throttle resolution where you need it most to smooth out your cinematic flying
More power and control in the low to medium throttle for pulling out of dives smoothly for freestyle, without giving up top end punch
More thrust for carrying larger GoPros or larger batteries (6s anyone?) confidently and efficiently
Available in 4s (2450kv) and 6s (1800kv) versions:
Titanium, hollow shaft for increased strength and reduced weight
Modern uni-bell design
7075 Aircraft aluminum
9mm bearings
~29g weight w/o wires
Solid core windings
150mm 20AWG motor wire
Precision CNC bell for improved strength and balance
Still building it, but this sucker gets five stars for completeness. Seems to have a double supply of screws and standoffs, plus it comes with a full set of TPU bits—antenna mount, xt30 mount, a little sled for the receiver, and shoes—that you won’t get from cncdrones.
These batteries might actually be worth it in terms of dollars per flight time! They last over five minutes when my old lower end batteries last three minutes, and they’ve even lasted for seven on a freestyle quad in a tight environment. Plus it’s always fun to have a battery that can actually kind of handle full throttle for extended periods!
