Product Description

The iFlight BumbleBee HD V3 is the refined version of one of the most recognizable cinewhoops in the industry. It’s built for capturing smooth 4K footage in tight spaces where a standard 5-inch drone would be too dangerous or loud.

Quiet & Efficient Duct Design: The V3 features newly engineered polycarbonate ducts that are more durable than previous versions and specifically shaped to reduce that high-pitched "whoop" noise. This makes it much less intrusive when filming in public or quiet indoor environments.
Low-Resonance "DeadCat" Style: The frame construction is designed to minimize vibration and "jello" in your video feed. It provides a rock-solid mounting point for action cameras, ensuring that your raw footage is as clean as possible before even applying stabilization software like Gyroflow.
T700 Carbon Fiber Strength: iFlight uses high-tensile T700 carbon, which is significantly stronger than standard 3K carbon. This allows the drone to take hard hits and "bounce" off obstacles without the frame flexing or snapping, protecting the sensitive digital electronics inside.
Caddx Polar Vista Digital HD: Equipped with the Polar Vista system, this drone offers a crystal-clear 720p/60fps digital feed. The Polar camera is specifically optimized for low-light performance, which is a massive advantage when moving from bright outdoor areas into dim indoor settings.

The Pilot's Reality Check:

The "Heavy" Whoop Feel: The BumbleBee is built for durability and stability, not for racing. Because of its weight (especially with a GoPro on top), it flies a bit like a "tank." You'll need to manage your throttle carefully when pulling out of dives to avoid "prop wash" oscillations.
Battery Choice: For 4S, a 1300mAh - 1550mAh pack is recommended; for 6S, a 1050mAh - 1300mAh pack works best. Because of the weight, higher C-rating batteries are preferred to handle the current demand during punch-outs.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

How is the V3 different from the older V2 version?
The V3 received a major upgrade in durability and sound. iFlight swapped the old PLA plastic ducts for polycarbonate, which are much harder to crack and specifically shaped to reduce that "screaming" high-pitch noise common in older cinewhoops. The motors were also beefed up (now using XING 2203.5/2205) to help carry the weight of a full-sized GoPro more easily.
Can I fly this indoors safely?
Yes, that is its primary purpose. The thick EVA foam bumpers on the outside of the ducts act like a "bounce pad." If you bump into a wall or a person, the drone will usually just bounce off rather than crashing or causing damage. It’s the "asjalik" choice for pilots who need to fly in tight spaces.
Is it "floaty" to fly?
Because of the heavy ducts and the overall weight (about 355g without a battery), it has a lot of momentum. It doesn't stop instantly like a racing drone; it feels a bit more like a "flying boat." This is actually a benefit for cinematic footage, as it naturally smooths out your movements, making the video look less "twitchy."
Should I get the 4S or 6S version?
The 6S version (using 2205 2300KV motors) is generally recommended for modern pilots. It provides more consistent power throughout the flight and handles the extra weight of a GoPro Hero 12/13 much better than the 4S. If you already have a stack of 4S batteries, that version is still a solid performer, but 6S is the more future-proof option.
What is the flight time with a GoPro mounted?
With a 6S 1050mAh or 1300mAh battery and a GoPro, you can expect about 4 to 6 minutes of flight. Cinewhoops are not long-range cruisers; they are designed for short, high-quality "takes."
