A smooth-flying camera quadcopter that comes up short in features

this is the blade chromophore k from horizon hobby and if you've got a little over a thousand dollars to spend on a camera drone you'll want to check it out inside is basically the same as the unique typhoon q500 4k but outside is very different it's much smaller for one and can easily be disassembled for travel or repairs the slot loading battery offers up to 30 minutes of flight but I typically got just over 20 minutes before I had to bring it in for a landing it has a smart mode that always moves the quadcopter in the direction you move the stick regardless of the direction the nose is pointed and you'll also have follow me in tracking options that use GPS to keep tabs on whoever or whatever has the controller if you want more control you can drop it into angle mode and when you're ready to land just flip the controller switch to home and it will fly back to you in land the controller is pretty key to the package in general it has a built-in 5.5 inch touchscreen to give you a first-person view from the camera and flight info and access to settings as well other quads generally rely on a tablet or smartphone for this so going with the chroma means you'll have one less battery to worry about keeping charged it also gives you the camera controls including buttons for stills and video and a slider for camera tilt so why would you look elsewhere well the main reason would be to get features like Waypoint navigation or other autonomous flight options that you could get with the DJI phantom 3 or 3d robotics solo but if you're looking for a simple ready to fly camera drone the blade chroma is easy to recommend you
