TinyWhoop Air75 II SQ11 Camera Adapter

Overview

Turn your BetaFPV Air75 II Champion into a budget cinematic cruiser! This adapter lets you mount an SQ11 HD Camera to record 1080p footage without modifying or soldering anything on your drone.

Instead of modifying the top canopy, this design uses a slide-in battery mount fit. It aligns with the rear battery slot and uses your 1S battery as a mounting support, placing the SQ11 camera on the underside near the center of gravity.

Key Features & Flight Performance

• Zero Mods Needed: Simply slides into the frame battery holder. No extra screws, zip ties, or structural modifications required.

• 1080p Capability: Adds HD recording capability to a standard analog whoop setup.

• Optimized CoG: Mounted on the rear/underside to keep weight close to the center of the drone.

• Flight Profile: Best for slow, cinematic indoor/outdoor cruising. Because of the added payload (~10-15g), it is not intended for fast acro or high-speed dynamic freestyle, but it excels at smooth, stabilized-style cinematic passes.

• I Believe this design would work in the BetaFPV air drones, and some others, with the same battery dimensions and battery fit, for reference i am using them in my LAVA 580mAh 95C 1S LiHV batteries

Available Versions

• 0 Degree Tilt (Recommended): Aligns the camera flat with the horizontal plane. Ideal for low-altitude cruising, slow indoor flights, and cinematic passes without capturing mostly ground.

• 30 Degree Down Tilt: Angles the camera downwards. Works best if flying at higher altitudes, but less ideal for low-altitude cruising.

Future Updates & Roadmap

• Camera Tilt: I think a version matching the forward tilt angle of the stock FPV camera could be nice to have, so I will try to develop and test it!

• Weight Reduction: I'm also considering upgrading the camera housing to reduce weight and maybe printing this frame in Lightweight PLA (LW-PLA) in the future for better flight stability. SQ11 Mini DV Camera Modifikation (weight) by Lame_Duck - Thingiverse

Recommended Print Settings

Print Orientation & Supports: Recommend printing on the side to align layer lines for stronger, more durable snap-fits. Minimal / Tree supports depending on orientation.

Mounting Instructions

Fit the Camera: Snap the SQ11 camera into the precision housing.

Mount to Frame: Slide the camera into the battery and then fit it into the frame of the drone.

Flight Check: Ensure props rotate freely before arming. Use fresh, high-C 1S batteries for best flight time.
