Awesome little quad. Best microquad available as of dec 2018. Flies almost as good as larger quad. Comes with two sets of batteries and a charger (power supply for charger not included).
Note: this is not a complete package ready-to-fly.
If you are looking to buy someone a drone for christmas, this is probably not what you are looking for. They would need a controller and video goggles to go along with this and those are much more expensive than this quadcopter. It's more of a serious hobbiest thing than a kids first drone.
You might search around for a better price than listed here atvthe time of this review. They are under $100 at many US based retailers.

I put one of these in a BetaFPV 65mm frame running 716 motors and have been bashing it around indoors for a couple of weeks now. Love it! Plenty of power. The stock Silverware tune is perfect for 716 whoops and it even has an arm switch configured, yet somehow arms by default if you use a Boldclash controller... clever setup. Apparently tricky to flash, but given the solid stock tune, I just use the left-left-down gesture when I want to fly Acro.
Cheap and cheerful. Only couple of UARTS, no current sensor, but it’s compact, light and at xt~xinte price probably the cheapest 28A F4 stack you can find. Very good value for money, highly recommended.
carbon parts are well made and of a high quality weave. the cage is where my concern is with this frame. it is painted black but when you remove some paint instead of titanium or an aluminum alloy you are greeted with a copper colored metal. perhaps a brass or copper of some sort.
further testing will determine the strength of the cage.
Its definitely whoop to consider. Very fast and handles well. This whoop need a lot of indoor space to open its potential.
I have 5-6 flights on it only, so my frame still fine, but do you a favor and buy v2 spare frame, as many report it's much stronger.
Shipping to Eastern Europe was less then 3 weeks.
Will buy again from Xt-xinte for sure. Good communication and prompt shipping.
(Update - If you get the V2 frame this thing is 5 Stars!!!)
+Flys great! This quad is so quick and responsive. It is a true joy to fly!
+Nice features (on screen display, smart audio, tilting camera, lost buzzer).
-The frame is made from nacho chips. It breaks in 5-10 mph crashes.
-The camera is a little darker than my King Kong /LDARC Tiny6X.
-With this kind of speed, it would be nice to have a more powerful video transmitter but now that I’ve flown it more, I’ve found that this one works pretty well.
Verdict: A ripping good time as long as you don’t mind spending your time and money making repairs after almost every flight. I keep patching the frames with Welder brand glue. My first frame broke in 12 places before it was unusable. My second one already has even more breaks and I’ve had to patch in missing pieces. I just ordered several of the Mobula V2 frames which are supposed to be tougher (I just tried the V2 frame and it is great. Much more durable although it did break after several hard crashes). Now I see that they are releasing an even stronger but heavier V3 frame.
Flight Review: Flying 2s outdoors, I get 2:30-3:30 minutes flight time. The volts seem to sag pretty quickly but it still flys strong. It can do all sorts of rolls and flips that I never thought possible in a whoop this size. Flying 1s outdoors is better for beginners, but the flight time is more like 1:30-2:00 (although this is probably shortened due to the weight of all of the glue) and once you’re hooked on the 2s throttle punch, it’s hard to go back. Indoors, even 1s is can be tough because the throttle is sensitive (some expo could help that).
Other Frames: According to online reviews, you need different screws and spacers to make the Beta FPV Pro frame work with this. GT7 frame won’t work. The Bwhoop75 frame is the same as the original delicate Mobula frame. I’ve ordered the Mobula V2 frame which is supposed to be light but more durable (but It’s still breakable). We’ll have to see if the V3 frame is too heavy or whether it’s the best. It is much more reinforced and looks like the Eachine Trashcan frame.
OtherOptions (based on online reviews not personal experience): Emax Tiny Hawk (1s - slightly slower but more durable)
Beta65/75X (Fast 2S + durable but not as nimble with more yaw washout)
LDARC GT7 (2s but much slower + heavier + very durable)
Future Products: If you can wait, they are supposed to be working on a new version of this Mobula, the 2s Tiny Hawk, or Eachine has a Trashcan model that people are saying will rule with better motors, stronger frame, F4 flight controller, and better video transmission.

Better camera, range, performance, durability. I rip these outside. I wouldn’t recommend either for indoor flying. The Tiny Hawk S is way better indoors but I think the Mobula is better outside.My original Mobula is still flying after 2 years of put putting it through hell and probably close to 300 flights. I’ve replaced 4 motors and now the camera is blurry. The V3/Trashcan frame is still holding up but the V2 flies better with less washout. The flight control board (main computer) is now an old design. The battery connectors lead to voltage safe and apparently those who upgraded to XT30 often blew out their boards.
