Great little quadcopter! I am very satisfied

This is a great set! I am a beginner and flew the VelociDrone for several hours before getting this drone. At first I was a bit shaky and nervous but after flying in a couple of backpacks I became very confident. This thing is great for freestyle! I have a lot to say about this quad so I'll wrap it up with pros, cons and tips. Pros: It flew great out of the box for me. The transmitter was already bound, all I had to do was plug it in, power on the quad and fly! The glasses work great. It's difficult to make out the fine details of things like a wire dangling from something, but that's no surprise since this is analog video. The range is small. The charger works as expected and charges in 45 minutes, even with 6 batteries at a time (if you intend to charge more than 2 batteries at the same time, learn how to safely charge in parallel.) - The quad has AMAZING performance! He is very good at flips, rolls, jumps and everything in between. Acro speeds are a bit slow so you can adjust them in Betaflight if you want faster flips and rolls. It has a top speed of 30 km/h and has good performance! It has enough power to catch well when exiting a flip or dive. Cons: - The screws on the front of my frame came loose on my first few flights. However, it doesn't matter much. The range is not impressive. I can fly maybe a hundred meters before my video cuts off badly. In a large open field with no other interference, I could probably fly a few hundred yards, but I really had no reason to check it. Tips: - If you want to customize your PIDs or speeds on Betaflight, do not use the included micro USB cable. It doesn't work because it doesn't do any data transfer. Find other Micro USB cables at home and try them. A regular Samsung phone charger came to me. This drone has a lot of power! Be very careful with the throttle during the first few flights, it's quite sensitive for a beginner. - Fly a GOOD simulator before flying this quad so you can get used to the acro mode (not self-leveling). I used the Velocidron and flew for a few hours to get used to the controls. Of course it was a little different in real life, but it's the same concept. NEVER pull batteries by the leads, always try to pull them out by the plastic part. This is tricky as the battery connector is very secure, but it gets easier as you do it a few times. If you pull them out by the wires they will eventually break. In summary, I highly recommend this ATV! Gain experience in the simulator. This will help a lot. I have a PS4 controller in my Velocidron. All I had to do was plug it into my computer's USB port. This ATV has a lot of power, so be careful on your first flight! This is a great freestyle ATV. It doesn't go too fast so I'd say it's beginner friendly, but definitely don't buy it for a kid under 13 because the throttle is very sensitive and the drone often crashes. Overall I am very happy with this quad and glad I made the decision to purchase it.

Pros
  • Perfect for me
