Introduction
After the publication gonomuchdrawonEachine Assassin 180
The first thing you pay attention to is the shape of the frame, or rather the location of its rays. The front beams are located on the same axis, but the rear beams have an angle of 120º relative to the front ones. In turn, the drone frame is monolithic, made in the form of two interconnected plates of the same shape, one of which (upper) is made of carbon, and the second (lower) is made of fiberglass. is the main board of the drone.
Eachine Blade 185 (EB185) weighs just under 380 grams, which is a significant plus in favor of the dynamic properties of the quad. On the rear beams of the EB185 there is LED backlighting with 3 diodes per beam, the operating mode of which can be programmed via the "Cleanflight" configurator. On the front of the drone, under the camera, there are two LEDs that provide the main lighting.
Eachine Blade 185 (EB185) has similar features to the Redcon Phoenix 210 drone.
In practice, the quad showed excellent flight performance, the dynamics will delight the pilots any level, though after a little adjustment (you need to update the firmware and set optimal PIDs ) .

Battery
The stock is equipped with 3S 11.1V 1300mAh 30C. The time for a complete battery charging cycle is ≈ 2.5 hours. Provides a flight time of ≈ 5-7 minutes. Due to frequent failures, we recommend changing the stock battery to a better one from other well-known brands.
Camera
A compact camera built on a CMOS sensor with a resolution of 520TVL and a viewing angle of 120º. Great for outdoor FPV flying. On the back side of the camera there is a "PAL / NTSC" mode switch. The default is PAL format. When you switch to any of them, you need to update the OSD parameters through the GUI MWOSD configurator.

Upon closer inspection of the drone's stuffing, you will notice that the barometer and compass are located on ordinary foam plastic, and the module itself is not protected by anything. Such an installation in an open form negatively affects the operation of this tandem as a whole. To reduce noise and improve the quality of measurements, it is necessary to cover the module.
Control panel
Includes classic 6-channel Eachine Flysky i6. During operation, there were no problems with communication. It is recommended to configure the "Failsafe" mode before the first start.
Price
Eachine Blade 185 is sold on various trading platforms at an average price of $ 259.
