Action cameras
Action cameras capture the final footage from your drone in full quality, while the FPV camera is there for piloting, the action camera records what you want to share. For Cinewhoop drones the most popular choices are GoPro and DJI Action in lightweight versions. Check your drone's payload capacity before choosing a camera.

Action cameras for drones, an overview
An action camera is mounted on a Cinewhoop, Cinelifter or freestyle drone to capture full-quality video. The FPV camera provides the pilot's view, the action camera records the final footage.
Recommended models
- GoPro HERO: the industry standard; excellent HyperSmooth stabilization; wide and linear FOV; lightweight caseless versions for drones
- DJI Action 5 Pro: GoPro's competitor; 4K/120fps; excellent night footage; easy integration into the DJI ecosystem
- Insta360 GO 3S: the lightest action camera; under 35 g; ideal for Tinywhoop and micro Cinewhoop
What to keep in mind when mounting on a drone?
- Weight: every extra gram shortens flight time and changes the drone's behavior
- Vibration protection: rubber damping pads under the camera for sharp footage
- Tilt: set the camera tilt to match the shot you want; usually 0 to 10° for a Cinewhoop
