Key Improvements Over Previous Model
Larger yet portable: 192g, still pocket-friendly.
Faster tracking: Follows at 42 kph, ideal for MTB/downhill action.
🎥Enhanced camera: 1/1.3" sensor, 8K30, 4K120/60 video.
Improved stabilization + ND filters.
64GB internal storage + SD slot.
Flexible controls:
Beacon (touchscreen remote) for basic mode changes.
Attachable joysticks (single/dual) for manual flight.
Phone + beacon + joysticks combo (laggy video feed).
Pros
Image quality: Significant upgrade, though occasional underexposure.
Autonomous tracking: Excels in tight, fast-paced environments (e.g., woods, trails).
Durability: (I will list this on both sides ;) these drones are made to crash often, props are guarded by indestructible frame.
Versatile controls: Multiple setup options for action vs. scenic shots.
Accessory integration: Beacon and joysticks add flexibility.
Cons
Durability concerns: Motor damaged in a minor crash (review unit replaced).
🔋Battery life: ~10 minutes; limits long-range use.
Noise: Loud because of small props.
Range/transmission: Video link lags; best for close-range shots (≤200m).
Costs: $24 repair kit, expensive accessories—opt for bundles!
Ideal for adventurers prioritizing autonomous tracking in challenging terrain. Compromises on battery, noise, and durability make it a niche pick over DJI for action scenes. Not a cinematic powerhouse but a reliable "flying camera man" for adrenaline junkies.
