369DRONE HDZero Whoop V2 VTX Review

An HDZero VTX at $62 with a switchable 25 mW / 200 mW output on 5.725-5.850 GHz, a U.FL connector and a weight of 5.4 g (5.1 g without wires). The listing says it drops into anything from 80 mm whoops to 4-inch micro builds, and the antenna is not included.

Our verdict

An HDZero VTX at $62 for someone building around an HDZero MIPI camera, which the listing says it works with, who wants the frequency, output options and U.FL connector stated. Look elsewhere if you need an antenna in the box. The main caveats are that the listing says there is no reverse-polarity protection and that voltage can dip on direct 1S power, and that it says the video is low-latency with no figures behind that.

Best for
Someone building a small HDZero setup who wants the frequency, output options and connector listed, and who will add an antenna.
Skip if
You need an antenna in the box, or a listing that gives measured figures instead of the maker's wording.

At $62 as a single option, the HDZero Whoop V2 VTX lists a frequency of 5.725-5.850 GHz, a switchable 25 mW / 200 mW output, a U.FL connector and a 3-12.6 V (1S-3S) power input. The board measures 31 x 31 mm with a 25.5 x 25.5 mm (M2) mounting pattern and weighs 5.4 g (5.1 g without wires). The listing says the antenna is not included.

Options and pricing

There is a single option at $62. The listing calls the output switchable between 25 mW and 200 mW. The box contents name the HDZero Whoop V2 VTX x1, Power / UART Cable x5, Zip Ties x2, Rubber Grommet (M3 to M2) x4, U.FL Antenna Retention Screws x3 and Metal Bar x1. The listing says the antenna is not included.

How it compares

The HDZero Goggle 2 RED is $898 and lists 7V-25.2V (2S-6S), so it is a goggle listing and a different kind of part from this $62 VTX; neither listing says they work together. The Foxeer ECHO 2 Antenna RHCP SMA White is $22 with an SMA connector, while this VTX lists U.FL and says the antenna is not included, so the two listings do not show a match.

Shipping and processing

  • Processing. The store's shipping policy says every order, including orders placed through the Shop app, ships from its warehouse in Japan and is dispatched within 1-3 business days after payment is confirmed (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Shipping cost. The policy gives a flat 800 JPY inside Japan and 5,000 JPY to eligible countries for parcels up to 2 kg, and gives no rate for heavier parcels. It does not list the eligible countries; the store's country selector offers the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and the terms of service reserve the right to limit sales to any region, so the checkout is the final test. At the rate the store used for US prices when we looked (about 0.00642 USD per JPY), 5,000 JPY is about $32; the checkout shows the exact amount.
  • Duties and taxes. The policy says import duties, taxes and customs clearance fees are not included in the price or the shipping cost, are charged to the recipient by the carrier (it names DHL, FedEx and Japan Post) and are outside the store's control. It declares the full value of the goods on customs papers and cannot mark a parcel as a gift or declare less. A parcel held for unpaid duties is not delivered, and if the carrier sends it back the return shipping is deducted from any refund.
  • Tracking. A tracking number is issued once the parcel ships. For international parcels it can take a few days to show up, and it can change when the parcel is handed from one carrier to another.

Returns and warranty

  • Returns. The store's refund policy gives 30 days after receiving an item to request a return. The item must be in the condition received, unworn or unused, with tags and in its original packaging, and you need the receipt or proof of purchase. Use the contact page first: if the return is accepted the store sends a return shipping label and instructions, and items sent back without a request are not accepted. The policy does not say who pays the return shipping on a change-of-mind return. Refunds go to the original payment method within 10 business days after the store has received and inspected the item (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Not returnable. The refund policy lists custom products (special orders and personalized items), perishable goods, personal care goods, hazardous materials, flammable liquids and gases, sale items and gift cards. The legal notice, which is in Japanese, adds made-to-order items, digital downloads once downloaded, and goods whose value was lost through the buyer's use or modification. For an exchange the policy says to return the item and, once the return is accepted, buy the new one separately.
  • Damaged or wrong items. The refund policy asks buyers to inspect an order on arrival and to contact the store at once about a defective, damaged or wrong item so that it can evaluate the issue and make it right. The legal notice says the store exchanges or refunds such an item at its own cost.
  • Warranty. The shipping policy, refund policy and legal notice describe no warranty, and we found no warranty page. The terms of service say products are provided 'as is' except as the store expressly states, disclaim warranties, and are governed by Japanese law. Many of the parts this store sells are made by other brands; nothing says whether the store or the maker handles a fault that appears after the item has been in use (checked 2026-11-11).

Before you buy

369DRONE describes itself as an FPV racing drone brand from Japan. Its About page says the founder, Daichi Sakakibara, spent over a decade as a test driver at Toyota Motor Corporation and builds products with experience from racing. These are the store's own statements (checked 2026-11-11).

The store is in Japan and quotes yen. The price on this page is its United States dollar price as of 2026-11-11; the store converts at its own rate, which moves, and a visitor in another country can see a different amount or currency.

The legal notice, written in Japanese, says the products are meant for FPV drone racing and hobby use, asks buyers to follow the Aviation Act, the Radio Act and other laws, and says the store takes no responsibility for damage caused by use that breaks the law. Those are Japan's laws. We have not checked what applies where you live and we do not say whether this product can be flown or operated legally in your country.

This product transmits or receives radio signals or is a complete drone. Rules on frequencies, transmit power, registration and where it may be used differ from country to country; we have not checked them, and anything the listing says about approvals or compliance is the listing's claim.

The English refund policy takes back items that are "unworn or unused", while the Japanese legal notice says, as we read it, unused and unopened, so check the condition rule with the store before opening the package. We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store.

What we liked

  • The listing gives the frequency (5.725-5.850 GHz), the connector (U.FL) and the weight (5.4 g, or 5.1 g without wires)
  • Output options (25 mW / 200 mW) and a 3-12.6 V (1S-3S) power input are stated, with a power consumption of 5-6 W
  • Mounting is 25.5 x 25.5 mm (M2) and the size is 31 x 31 mm (29 x 29 inner), both stated in the specifications
  • A box contents list names the cables, zip ties, grommets, screws and metal bar with quantities
  • The listing gives control as MSP OSD / Smart Audio and lists the video resolutions 540p90, 720p60 and 1080p30

Worth noting

  • The antenna is not included, and the listing names no antenna to use with it
  • The listing says there is no reverse-polarity protection and that incorrect wiring will permanently damage the unit
  • The listing says voltage can dip below 3 V on direct 1S power during throttle punch-outs and cause video loss, and recommends an external capacitor for 3S setups
  • The listing says the thicker ~1.6 mm board gives real impact resistance and that the video is low-latency, but it shows no test or latency figure

Questions before you buy

What power input and output options does the listing give?

A 3-12.6 V (1S-3S) power input and a switchable 25 mW / 200 mW output, with a power consumption of 5-6 W.

Which cameras does the listing say it works with?

The listing says it works with every HDZero MIPI camera and supports 540p90, 720p60 and 1080p30. The video connector is MIPI.

Is an antenna included?

No, the listing says the antenna is not included. The box contents name the HDZero Whoop V2 VTX x1, Power / UART Cable x5, Zip Ties x2, Rubber Grommet (M3 to M2) x4, U.FL Antenna Retention Screws x3 and Metal Bar x1.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

The refund policy gives 30 days after receipt to request a return of an unused item in its original packaging, with proof of purchase; contact the store first and wait for its return label. Custom products, sale items and gift cards cannot be returned, and the pages do not say who pays return shipping.

How long and how much to get it from Japan?

The shipping policy says the order ships from Japan and is dispatched in 1-3 business days after payment. International shipping to eligible countries is a flat 5,000 JPY for parcels up to 2 kg (about $32 at the store's US rate); the store's country selector lists the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Who pays import duties and taxes?

The recipient. The shipping policy says import duties, taxes and customs fees are not in the price or shipping cost, are collected by the carrier and cannot be predicted by the store. A parcel held for unpaid duties is not delivered, and return shipping is deducted from any refund if the carrier sends it back.

What we couldn’t verify

  • The listing says the VTX gives low-latency HD video and a board that withstands impacts and crashes; these are the maker's claims and we could not check them.
  • The listing gives no latency, image or test figures, and names no goggles or antenna to pair with it.
  • The listing says there is no reverse-polarity protection, that a 5 V pad needs at least 1.5 A and that voltage can dip on direct 1S power; these warnings are the maker's wording and we did not check them.
  • We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store; the About page is the store's own account.
  • The English refund policy takes back items that are unworn or unused, while the Japanese legal notice says unused and unopened; we could not tell which rule applies.
  • The store's pages describe no warranty and its terms provide goods 'as is'; we could not tell who handles a fault that appears after use.
  • We did not check radio or aviation rules for any country, so we cannot say this product is legal to operate where you live.
