If ViFly get the PID tuning right and use a better camera, this "buy and fly" miniquad would be a great introduction to the hobby for anyone who's starting from scratch.
I will tune the flight controller for rate/acro mode and publish the PIDs when I've done so but that camera really makes the FPV experience less than optimal on anything other than a perfectly sunny day.
Pros:
- everything you need (except for video eyewear) in a single box
- super-tough (you aren't going to break this easily)
- flies straight out of the box (in angle and horizon mode)
Cons:
- it's pretty heavy so flight times are a bit short
- the quick-start manual is fine but there's no "in-depth" documentation
- the FPV camera sucks under anything but perfect conditions
- the tuning in rate/acro mode needs work
Bottom line:
So close to being the perfect "starting from nothing" introductory miniquad. If ViFly can address the shortcomings it would be a great option for anyone who just wants to buy and fly their first miniquad.
