Review and test flight of the NEW micro Cheeson CX-17 "Cricket"
($38.96)
PROS:
-extremely stable flyer
-IMO it's a very cool looking quadcopter
-very nice flight time of 7 mins
-altitude hold
-FPV feed is very good and not laggy
-recorded footage has very little jello wobble
-auto takeoff/landings
-will failsafe auto land if app or phone crashes (if flying by app)
-executes 360 flips extremely well
-has a "selfie" mode when flying by app
CONS:
-uses a proprietary battery
-can only trim controls when flying by app, no trims on controller
-"selfie mode" is only available when flying by app
-the 3 LED's are located on top so can't be seen above eye level so makes orientation difficult if flying high and not using the FPV app.
-WI-FI app was a bit unstable for me, crashing several times but I it's possible it's just my phone.
