This is a great little drone, however, it takes a lengthy amount of programming and set up. You must bind the drone to your receiver, you must also flash the firmware (because it’s shipped with an incompatible version for betaflight), in order to setup the drone. Next you must adjust all the settings and alarms (the low-battery alarm is programmed improperly). I struggled with betaflight, set up, binding, and programming (driver errors, downloads, fixes) for almost 2 days in order to be able to use it. Don’t forget to calibrate the accelerator for stable flight (this is critical!), use a mug or cup to keep your drone level with the USB plugged in to BetaFlight for easy accelerometer calibration. I also use a mug for stability in take off as well. Once it’s all set up and programmed properly the drone functions and flys amazing. Both my 14 yr old son and I take turns flying all over the house and outside. I would highly recommend purchasing 4-6 extra batteries due to the fact that total flight time is only about 2-3 minutes and charging time 30-60mins. I would also recommend a multi-port USB adapter to quickly charge them at the same time (available here on Amazon, 2 four port chargers for $12). There are lots of YouTube setup walkthrough videos for this drone and it was the only way I was able to work my way through the setup and numerous issues. Be patient, take your time, and breathe, it’s all worth it in the end!
I forgot to mention in my previous review - the set of motors I received had a standard M5 shaft so are usable with the majority of 4 and 5 inch propellers (and some of the 3 inch ones). The shaft is also quite long (or at least it is not shorter than normal like some of the 1806 motors) which means you can use props with thicker hubs. Some very thin hubs cause a problem where the end of the shaft comes into the tightening hole in the cone nut and prevents fully tightening the nut. So if you use thin props you may need to buy a set of normal open-ended nuts. Overall these motors continue to work great for me - very pleased!
Update to my earlier review:
Much as I wanted to like this stack, I'm finding it troublesome. I have two, both behave the same, so it's unlikely that I just have a bad example. You can work around the weak 5V regulator with a stand-alone BEC to supply the camera and vtx, but the ESCs also appear to be problematical. They are fussy about which motors they will drive at all - I have a 1106 motor that neither board will run, but that flies fine with other FCs, including AIO 5A boards. Other motors I have tried fly fine for 15 to 20s and then the quad loses power and sinks to the ground. I suspect thermal shutdown on the ESCs. This happens with motors which should be drawing well under the rated current when flown gently at hover on 2s. Maybe it will fly with some low kv 080x motors, but overall the board seems extremely limited. I'd recommend avoiding this one.
Best goggles for the price. They are lovely! Very clear screans. NIce bright image an no lightleakage.
DVR is good. Autosearch is fast and manually skipping through the bands and channels ist very fast. The fan helps in summerdays! I use a 3S Lipo or 3S LIION pack. Recomand it! Would buy another if i had to. Thank you. Delevery took 8(yes eight) days to Germany! With german special line!
This is a perfect item for your bagpack. If you are in rc hobby you have many of XT6 packs. Ths little helper supports FASTCHARGE with Samsung Phones (9V) and has an USB-C connector also. You can bring down your LIPOS to storrage charge by charging your phone. Very helpfull.
You need the R6 controller to get the most out of this Drone. If there is any wind it is just not flyable with a phone. I have been getting about 5-10 min flying time. Remember that this is a very small drone and it's not a Spark. Don't pay over 100$. And get spare batteries. I was impressed by the video quality.
