Black Friday Whoop Shopping List: What to Buy If You Already Fly

Short version: if you already fly, spend sale money in this order: more packs for the whoop you have, a charger that can keep up with them, a bag of props and a spare motor set, and only then a second whoop. Every pick below links to the QuadMath guide that explains why. No prices here; they change daily.

This is for 65–75mm 1S whoops and pilots who already own a radio and goggles. Buying a first whoop? Start at First Tiny Whoop Setup.

Links marked /go/ are affiliate redirects to gear I fly; they cost you nothing extra.

The sales, and their dates

HGLRC's Black Friday page lists 17–24 November. Banggood's 11.11 coupons run to 30 November, per Oscar Liang's 11.11 list, a post Banggood sponsored. Sales end on the store's date, not ours. Check the page before you buy.

1. Packs first, for the whoop you already own

Nothing on this list adds more flying per dollar. Match the connector before you add to cart: BT2.0 and A30 cross-fit, and the connectors guide explains why I run one plug and re-pigtail everything else.

On 65mm I fly the weBLEEDfpv 340; it isn't benched yet. The LAVA 300 behind every measured 65mm number is discontinued. On 75mm, the weBLEEDfpv 450 has flown three builds on the bench. On a Meteor75 Pro II, start with the LAVA II 480 indoors; that link opens BetaFPV's store home page. Packs come in fours, and a WhoopStor charges six, so two boxes fill a board. Sizes and fit are in 1S Whoop Battery by Size.

2. A charger that keeps up with them

More packs only help if they're charged. The WhoopStor V3 stays the default: six ports, LiHV, storage mode, and it charged every bench pack. Get a WooPower W63 if you run mixed pack sizes and want per-port settings. The BetaFPV HexaCharger is the USB-C desk fork. Budget for a real USB-C PD supply too: the power supply is what cooks packs, not the charger.

3. Props by the bag, plus a spare motor set

Props are what a crash costs, so buy them by the bag. On 65mm that's the Gemfan 31mm triblade, the 1mm-shaft version; my Mobula6 2024 runs 1.5mm, so check yours. A spare set of VCI 0702 PRO DB 30K motors, the ones on my Air65 daily driver, means a dead motor doesn't end the week. Other motors I fly are on Gear.

4. A second whoop, last, picked by your goggles

Your goggles decide this one. On analog, the Air65 II Freestyle if you want the same size, or the Air75 II for house and garden. Both are on Oscar's Banggood 11.11 list. On HDZero, the Mobula6 2024. Digital costs flight time: my HDZero 65mm flew 34% shorter than the analog one on the same pack model. On DJI goggles, the Meteor75 Pro II O4 Wide is the strong second quad I fly. Oscar's Banggood Meteor75 Pro II links his analog review, so check which version you're buying. Choosing between DJI whoops? See Which DJI O4 Whoop to Buy.

HGLRC's sale includes the Petrel 75Whoop V2. QuadMath hasn't covered it.

Skip these, even on sale

• A 5-inch because it's cheap. Different hobby.
• A stock of a pack size your whoop can't fit.
• A DJI whoop without DJI goggles.

Check it in QuadMath

Before you order a second whoop, put it in the calculator next to the one you fly, then check the Bench for what's actually been measured.
