You could say this is the latest generation of micro fpv quadcopters. This one - model number blh8580 - is bind and fly and no assembly is required and beginners do not have to fiddle around with DIY kits.

Inductrix FPV BNF - a really good quadcopter drone for beginners

And these drones are very well suited for racing and some stunts as well . You can reverse the motor direction pretty fast - which means you can flip this drone upright right after crashing into a building or a tree. Which is pretty impressive technology. So if you happened to crash the drone, you will not have to walk to retrieve it. Just reverse the motors and you'll flip the quad - and it's ready to take to the skies again.

If you want a multirotor to race or perform stunts, you can turn off self leveling . And then you can make full use of the powerful, 8mm electric motors and perform acrobatics.

It also has altitude hold flight mode - which will enable you to maintain the drone at a certain altitude from the ground - and this should help a lot of beginners avoid crashes.

It would be an understatement to say the design is good. All of it comes in a package so very small that you can fly your drone in places you never would have believed possible in the past . And the stability mode gives you good control while flying the quad through tight, small spaces . Add a fpv monitor to the mix and the possibilities are left to your imagination .

If you are an experienced drone pilot or racer who is ultra concerned with the performance and are looking for that a model that's designed to be a great blend of agility, control, sturdiness - and wouldn't mind investing a few extra bucks for an advanced version then the pro model might be just what you are looking for.

If you are really serious about your hobby, you would also want to take a look at the pro model and blh9680 on ebay or amazon - or maybe shop for them at your local toys store.

And one that comes bundled with a DVR and requires a 5+ channel Spektrum transmitter.

In review, while this certainly is a pretty powerful and tough little quad that's well suited for anyone interested in hobbies like drone racing and FPV, it's not perfect. You would not want to fly this in strong winds. This is just too small for such conditions. It's very well suited for indoor flying. Your kids can maneuver this thing around room dividers and chairs. Or over your kitchen sink while the dishes are being done, while watching it all through their FPV goggles or monitor. It's very nimble, powerful and tough. And yet safe.
