He mounted a small FPV camera and video transmitter, upgraded the motors, found a better battery and called it the Tiny Whoop™. The only downside I can make about this drone is the short flight time, but with the amount of fun you get in those few minutes, it's easy to justify buying a few more batteries.When Jesse Perkins first flew the Inductrix® quadcopter, he knew that there was more to the experience yet to be unlocked.
BLADE INDUCTRIX FPV MANUAL
For those FPV racers that want more of a challenge, pop it into manual mode by pressing in the left stick. With such a small form factor and a max speed of about 12mph, there's huge scope for having fun whether your a newbie that's happy flying round an open room or a seasoned FPV racer wanting to push yourself, flying through small gaps not much bigger than the drone itself. The controller is very similar to that of the Hubsan drones, with good sized sticks that give you plenty of travel for precise inputs, allowing you to pull off accurate flight maneuvers. There are a bunch of spares available for you to quickly and easily repair it yourself without having to break the bank. If you are unfortunate enough to break a part, it's not the end of the world.
These strudy prop guards also give you the peace of mind that you can't slice up anyone or anything if you have a mid-flight collision! The LED lights onboard the aircraft are pretty handy for other people to see the drone in-flight and also to help find it if you manage to crash it.
I've attempted some pretty sketchy flight paths at a fair speed and they've not always gone too smoothly but thanks to the strong prop guards, you often just bounce off and can continue flying. I've been impressed with how much of a beating this little guy can take. However, it does charge faster if you plug the usb charger into a USB plug socket like that from an iPhone charger. Charge time is around 40 minutes when using the USB charger plugged into your computer. For this reason, it's definitely worth buying a few batteries to keep you in the air for longer. The battery is a 1 cell, 200mah 45C LiPo which gives you around 3-4 minutes of airtime. Or if you want to share the fun, give the monitor to a friend while you use the goggles! If you already have a pair of Fatsharks or other 5.8Ghz video goggles, you can use them instead of the monitor. This combo is more than good enough for flying indoors and allows you to control and view your live feed while flying all round your house while sat from the comfort of your sofa.
The aircraft has a standard 25mw transmitter and the 4.3" monitor has a built in 5.8Ghz, 40 channel receiver. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the video downlink using the standard setup that comes out of the box. Check Alex's video review of the Blade Inductrix below to see the craft in flight. We show you our hands on experience with the Blade Inductrix within this blog. The small, camera equipped, minion-like, drone is perfect for indoor flying whether it's whizzing round your living room or weaving round your colleagues and their computers in the office. The Blade Inductrix FPV drone is all the rage at the moment.
