Happymodel Mobula8 SPI ELRS is a micro FPV drone in the 85mm whoop class designed for both indoor flying and light outdoor freestyle. The platform supports both 1S and 2S batteries, allowing flexible configuration depending on flight style and power requirements.
The drone integrates an X12 AIO flight controller with built-in SPI ExpressLRS receiver and analog video transmission system. This reduces weight and simplifies setup, making it suitable for compact FPV builds and quick deployment.
Mobula8 provides increased power and stability compared to smaller 65–75mm whoops. With 2S configuration, it delivers stronger thrust and improved outdoor usability while maintaining manageable size and weight.
