The quadcopter he is flying is called a "Tiny Whoop"

It originates as a Blade Inductrix , and has been modified with faster motors, different flight controller, larger batteries, and a first person view camera.

The camera is what streams video to the goggles that the pilot is wearing, allowing it to be flown around the house without visual line of sight.

If you are looking to build one for yourself, you can go two different routes. Either purchase great equipment that will last you for years, or mediocre equipment that you will definitely want to upgrade soon after.

Check out /r/Multicopter for more info!

Cheap route-

Inductrix clone - $20 - Eachine E010

Goggles - $70 Eachine VR009

Transmitter - $50 FlySky FS-i6

Flight Controller - $30 Eachine Beecore

Motors - $10 Chaoli CL-615

Batteries- $5/each Charsoon 3.7V 220mAh

Camera - $18 Eachine TX03

~$240 total


Expensive, but much better route (Especially if you want to build a larger racing quad)-

Inductrix - $50

Goggles - $350 - Fatshark Dominator V3

Transmitter - $210 - FrSky Taranis X9D+

Flight Controller - $50 Newbeedrone BeeBrain v.1

Motors - $20 - MMWH Insane Motors

Batteries- $6/each - MyLipo 1s batteries

Camera - $30 FX798T

~$700 total

If you want to build a quadcopter, /r/Multicopter and /r/multicopterbuilds are great. They have lots of build guides and advice.

I would just buy one. Focus on one thing at a time. Whatever you do, resist the temptation to get something bigger than a dinner plate. You will underestimate how insanely loud these things are indoors. Smaller quads will also be more resistant to wind and prop backwash. Here's one for $40.

Here's a very good quad for $125 with a very nice camera. The flight controller can be loaded with betaflight, so you can modify the firmware to do whatever you want. Jacking into SPI might be a little hairy.

If you want to build the DWM1001 into the quad, you'll need to be writing C firmware. If you haven't flashed an IC before, then that's kind of jumping right into the deep end. It would be way easier to pull 3.3 V from something and use an ESP8266 or similar. That way you can use Arduino libraries and your life will be way easier.

I've also got a suggestion if you want a longer term goal: SLAM with DSO. Stream video over wifi with websockets to a laptop, do DSO or one of the newer algorithms there, and send instructions back to the quad. From there you can do all sorts of interesting stuff since you're basically generating dense 3d models (point clouds) of real spaces. Vision is huge and full of interesting problems.

Personally, I bought the Parrot AR Drone 2.0. It's a wifi based flight control, and the range is shit. It also is incredibly unstable with a little bit of wind. I had it for two days and small gust of up to 5 mph would cause it to lose control. Once it loses control, the motors shut off. Worst $200 I ever spent.

Went online and bought a Hubsan X4 for under $50 and it's been a great investment as a learner. I would go a little further and suggest the Inductrix
Learn how to fly this little sucker, then buy the parts to upgrade it using Tiny Whoop instructions to turn it into a mini FPV drone. This is probably my next step before I dive in and build my own FPV racer.

A Blade Inductrix BNF is $49.99 on amazon, it binds with a spektrum transmitter. Lots of people use these indoors and out with a camera, google tiny whoop for guides on how to add fpv etc.

These below? The price is mind blowingly cheap, having been bombarded with ads for DJI and others, I expected at least a couple hundreds.

Do you live stream video or fly like an RC view? The OP video seems to require first person for that course.

$105 for the inductrix?! Amazon has it for $50.
