Super minuscule design: The mini design quadcopter is convenient for taking and it ideal for indoor flying.
Which has a $1,199 price tag, this all-in-one package is aimed at prosumers who are looking for something more serious than, say, Parrot's AR.drone with Gps series. As the latter's designed for entertainment, the Phantom 2 Perspective gives you a flavour of the advanced maneuverability and camera features from DJI's pro-level products. The relatively light 1.16kg drone features a built-in 14-megapixel camera (with a 1/2.3-inch sensor), which is attached to a tilt-axis gimbal under the belly. The only bits that need to be installed will be the four self-tightening propellers, along with a swappable 57.72Wh power supply that can last up to 25 minutes (but calls for from one to two hours to fully impose when depleted).
I won't get into any flight instructions here as that is beyond the scope of this article. For learning how to travel, I am a solid believer in starting with an RC Flight Simulator program and also getting help from a local RC flight teacher. The simulator and teacher will get you flying properly in a shorter time than if you just try to do it by yourself. My other article has more tips about getting started.
After you've utilized a little, you can consider fully-assembled models such as the $750 3D Robotics' Iris or even more popular models like DJI's Phantom series. The company's quadcopters start around $500. If you need a Phantom model that is included with an fastened GoPro camera, you'll have to fork out about twice as much. One of the most well-rated setups presently on the marketplace is the DJI Phantom 2. I am no longer mad. I bounce back quickly. No, Leo was never in the water. Ever. He'd have died from exposure.
However I did break it in half one time after i crashed it into someones real truck at top speed. I set it in about 45 minutes or less (after getting parts). Additionally it is waterproof which means you don't have to stress about puddles, mud, snow, or rain (do NOT totally submerge it though). A universal problem with this pick up truck appears to be breaking axles. A couple of cheap axles on all wheels, and sometimes when I nail the throttle or when I land from a leap while heading full throttle, an axle will snap (this is a sign of extreme torque). You can buy update axles, but I don't recommend it as another thing in the drivetrain may break that may be worse than an axle. Another thing, the shell (body) of the pick up truck tore after in regards to a a short while. I fixed this with some velcro and it doesn't have an impact on performance, but it still was kind of annoying. In any event, this vehicle is very, very durable.
