drone developer
The Money Shot Whoop Lifter Y6 builds on the technology, component selection and build quality that made the predecessor Money Shot Mini the go-to model for professional drone filmmakers. The new iteration features a full carbon fiber frame with propeller guards, allowing the platform to be safely used in challenging, cramped environments. The Y6 design type is a hexacopter based on not six beams, but three, each of which is connected to a pair of coaxially mounted 2808 motors (total 6 motors) working in tandem with 7-inch propellers. The drone is powered by a 6S LiPo battery.
This approach provides significant thrust, controllability and flight efficiency compared to other Cinewhoop drones on the market. The Money Shot Whoop Lifter Y6 is capable of carrying any full-size cine camera with a lens weighing up to 1.58 kg and providing a maximum cruising time of 5 minutes. Flight characteristics are smooth and predictable. Maintaining altitude is very easy, requiring minimal throttle stick adjustment. Whoop Lifter operates on the INAV system with a full fail-safe RTH return to the take-off point and position holding. The operator can also disable GPS positioning for indoor flights.
