Happymodel M8 Freestyle HDZero is an 80mm micro FPV drone designed for freestyle flying with increased power and stability compared to smaller whoops. The platform uses a 2S power system and lightweight frame, making it suitable for outdoor flying and more dynamic maneuvers.

The drone integrates an HDZero AIO 5-in-1 system combining flight controller, ESC, digital video transmission and ExpressLRS receiver. This reduces weight while maintaining a full digital FPV setup with low-latency HD video.

Compared to 65mm and 75mm models, the M8 provides higher thrust, larger propellers and improved control authority, making it more suitable for freestyle flying in open environments.
