Something this small should not be this quick! Tinywhoops have come a long way, from the days of brushed, heavy and poor quality whoops to budget friendly drones that can actually compete in local races.
Whoops are the ideal entry into the FPV hobby, low-cost and ease of practice with them makes them a really attractive option for anyone starting or wanting to fly inside.
We’ll go over specifications, compare it to the competition and its predecessor and flying characteristics.

The Hummingbird V4 comes in a small cardboard box, with very minimal branding on the packaging. In the box you get : Spare propellers, spare screws and a prop removal tool. The color of the drone is random, which is a bummer.
Predecessor and Competition
The V4’s predecessor, the Hummingbird V3, was very well received as it was a great budget tinywhoop. The V4 is an upgrade in 3 major ways, motors, weight and video transmitter. The new version has new upgraded motors, going from an 0802 25000KV to an 0702 30000KV, this means lower weight and increased top speed. The new frame and motors reduced the weight by 2g, which in tinywhoop terms is immense. And the final upgrade is the video transmitter, going from a fixed 25mW to a switchable 25-400mW with a smart temperature sensor to avoid burnouts. Unfortunately, the V4 still comes equipped with the PH2.0 connector/NX69, which has been largely abandoned by the community in favor of the better BT2.0 and A30 connectors. This makes the V4 a worthwhile upgrade over the V3, even considering the outdated battery connector.
Flying the whoop
The Hummingbird V4 comes from the factory with a good tune that allows it to have very good frequency response, minimal vibrations in dives and good stability on yaw intensive manoevers. This is great for beginners and those less familiar with Betaflight’s tuning options.
With a 300mah 1s battery, you can expect about 3-4min of mixed flight.
Conclusions
The NewBeeDrone Hummingbird V4 proves that even the smallest drones can deliver big performance. With upgraded 0702 30,000KV motors, a lighter frame, and a far more capable 400mW VTX, this tinywhoop pushes the limits of what a 1S micro can do. It’s agile, responsive, and stable right out of the box — perfect for both seasoned FPV pilots looking for an indoor racer and newcomers wanting a forgiving, budget-friendly entry point into the hobby.
While the outdated PH2.0 connector holds it back slightly in terms of battery performance, the overall experience easily outweighs that limitation. The V4 captures the essence of what makes whoops so much fun: accessibility, durability, and pure flying excitement packed into a palm-sized frame.
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performing micro drone that keeps the spirit of FPV alive indoors or in tight spaces, the Hummingbird V4 absolutely deserves a spot in your fleet.
