This inexpensive Ardupilot based GPS camera drone seems to be a reincarnation of the popular Cheerson CX-20. Buy it here
Pros
- Reasonably priced for a large GPS camera drone.
- Relatively rapid GPS lock on.
- Includes GPS position hold, and return to home/landing.
- Setup and operation, along with operating switches all are extremely similar to the popular Cheerson CX-20. The body shape seems to be the primary difference.
- Compatable with mission planner software.
- Optional telemetry version available.
- Optional follow me GPS watch is planned for the near future.
- Fast and maneuverable flier in manual and altitude hold mode.
Cons
- Does not come with stabilized gimbal, or camera mounting bracket.
- Not very stable in the wind. Flight controller seems to lag a bit in control response to sudden changes in wind gusts.
- Throttle response somewhat sluggish in GPS mode.
- Requires FAA registration.
