Extreme Fliers Micro FPV Drone

Great little micro quad, could be good fun, and they're British too (well the company is)

That's a walkera ladybird with a black shell and what  looks like a walkera dvo4 camera in a smaller case. Even the flight controller looks the same, looks like they burnt the PCB a bit adding that camera port though. Unless there are big differences I can't see I'm surprised they can do that. Maybe the flight controller is different cos they don't show the transmitter.

Looks well thought out!

Ah didn't realise it was a clone of something! should have guessed in this age!

The plug-in additions seem original, but wonder if the connections will give trouble after being bashed around the house for a few hours! So what duration of flight is the ladybird version getting? would have thought the battery weight would be the major weight contributer!

Iphone control and crappy included Tx system  not a selling point in my view, but can't argue with the price for a uk supplier! That is of course IF it sells for under 100 bucks US which = £66 (or are we saying that is for the basic frame and all the rest is extra???

I think the FPV and gimbal bolts on's are extra, but not expensive though, e.g. think he said that gimbal was $65

I get 5 min with my Fpv ladybird on stock batteries. Don't get me wrong I'm all for clones it makes it cheaper for us especially if its sold in UK. I'm just surprised its almost exactly the same ,the motors and arms are ladyvird ones with a small led added and the flight control looks identical. Decent price for a UK seller though.

Yes sad times! virtually all things produced, either utilise, or is a development of something already in existence, can't see anything wrong with that and wouldn't want it changed, although these days millions are spent on one company or another trying to defend their (so called) original invention! Although direct cloning is a little saucy! take the bixler for example as a direct clone of the multiplex easystar, etc, etc...

Very true at least it looks like they have taken the ladybird as a base and are developing new things around  it not just directly copying it and sticking there name on. I think micros are gonna be big this year now they are getting better and more flyable.

Everything is getting smaller and smaller

I predict that in two years time we'll be able to fly FPV inside our own underpants whilst still wearing them

Yes well that could be the next craze!

So what size is the ladybird for instance, across motors?

I have some small motors here but already think they might be too big for the micro era!
