GEPRC DarkStar22 WFPV - The DIY HD Flying Donut

Listen, we know you’ve been doom-scrolling through FPV drone forums looking for that perfect 2-inch cinematic experience. The GEPRC DarkStar22 WFPV is here to fill that void in your soul (and your workbench). This is the "WFPV" version, which is manufacturer-speak for "We didn't include the DJI O4 Pro VTX because we trust you can use a screwdriver without calling your mum." It’s the ultimate 100mm cinewhoop for UK pilots who want 4K stability without the factory-installed price tag or the "magic smoke" anxiety of a ground-up build.

Why You Want It

Most micro drones are basically vibrating toothbrushes with cameras taped to them. The DarkStar22 actually uses a five-point floating damping system, ensuring your footage doesn't look like a Bourne Identity fight scene. Since this is the WFPV edition, you get to install your own DJI O4 Air Unit. It’s like LEGO, but if you mess up, £300 disappears in a flash of light. It’s compact, it’s nimble, and it’s specifically designed to make your local park look like a Hollywood set—provided you can actually fly through a gap wider than a barn door.

Specs

In the Box

• 1x DarkStar22 Drone (The main event) (DJI o4 Pro is not inlcuded)
• 1x Prop Guard & Canopy Set (For when you inevitably hit the wall)
• 2x Pairs of Propellers (The 'just in case' kit)
• 1x Battery Strap & Anti-slip Pad (Keep your LiPo from becoming a missile)
• 1x USB Adapter & Screw Pack (For those 'I dropped it' moments)

Compatibility

This beast is rocking an integrated ELRS 2.4G receiver. If you’re still using that old radio from 2014, it might be time for an upgrade. Pairs perfectly with DJI Goggles 2/Integra and any mainstream ELRS radio transmitter. UK pilots, ensure your batteries are 3S 720mAh for the best 'hang time' before the inevitable recharge.

Highlights

• DJI O4 Pro Support: Because seeing every blade of grass in HD matters.
• Five-Point Damping: Soft-mounted camera for people who hate jello.
• Beginner Friendly: Thicker canopy means it survives more of your 'learning experiences'.
• GPS Ready: There's a mount for a mini GPS, so you don't have to wander a field for three hours looking for it.

Notes

The ELRS receiver is integrated, saving you the hassle of soldering wires and questioning your life choices. It uses an XT30U-M connector. Don't try to force an XT60 in there unless you want a very expensive paperweight.

Disclaimer

Don't fly this into your nan's hair. We won't pay for the haircut or the therapy sessions. Fly responsibly.
