Will this be a real competitor to the Tiny Whoop micro-drone? I have no idea - but it does fly very nicely and has great specifications at a very reasonable price.
Pros:
- F3 flight controller
- preloaded with Betaflight
- brushless motors
- camera is quite usable
- plug-and-fly
Cons:
- video signal not the best
- sleeved dipole makes for lots of video glitching
- no LEDs
- relatively short flight times (about 3 minutes)
Summary:
If you want a microquad for flying around or through your house or office then this represents pretty good value. Let's hope they address the video issues in the production units -- or maybe I just got a dud (you know it happens).
