Motors

On a Dromida Kodo quadcopter High safety brushed HD motors of our own design - Hobbico Inc. They work in conjunction with speed controllers (ESC). The on-board electronics are tuned in such a way as to minimize the spontaneous starting of the motors. There is enough potential to fulfill the tasks set by the developer.

Camera

Onboard quadcopter digital camera with manual tilt angle adjustment. Provides maximum video resolution: 1920 × 1080p @ 30fps AVI format. Photo shoots in JPEG format. In terms of the quality of both photo and video filming, the camera deserves the highest score in the UAV segment occupied.

Battery

The Dromida Kodo HD is equipped with a single-cell (3.7V) lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 350mAh. It was specially designed for this drone model in large part because the weight of the drone played a very important role. In tests, the maximum flight time was 5 minutes. Charging time is no more than 25 minutes.

Control panel

Classic remote control operating at 2.4GHz. With all the skepticism, it turned out to be convenient, I didn't have to get used to it. Powered by two AAA batteries. In a megalopolis, it provides a flight range of no more than 50 meters, but in field conditions it will show the declared 70m.

Test drive

In the test, the quad showed excellent flight dynamics, wind-resistant, flips playfully. Digital cost trims allow you to fine-tune drone activity based on personal preference. In practice, the maximum flight time was declared by the manufacturer - 5 minutes.

The developers did everything to make the pilot experience the maximum pleasure from driving. The drone fuselage was designed with aerodynamics in mind, weight was reduced, commutator motors were installed under the control of speed regulators, equipped with a 3-axis gyroscope and 3 accelerometers to ensure smooth and stable flight.

Price

The Dromida Kodo HD quadrocopter is sold by the developer at a price of $ 36.
