Camera

Onboard WLToys v666 Two camera options can be installed: 720p FPV Camera / 1080p HD Camera. The quality of shooting, both photo and video in general, is at the level of the golden mean. In the test, it was revealed that in an interference-free zone, the FPV Camera confidently broadcasts video to a distance of no further than 120 meters. Outside the radio exchange, first the video signal disappears, then the connection with the drone, after which it falls. It is worth considering this when buying, without significant modifications the v666 will not fly far.

Power supply

Control

The WLToys v666 quadrocopter is controlled by a classic 4-channel transmitter operating at 2.4GHz. Composed of an analog FPV monitor (for FPV version), the video receiver of which operates in the 5.8 GHz frequency range. In the test, the tandem showed an FPV distance of no more than 120 meters. The equipment is powered from four "AA" 1.5V (purchased separately). The monitor is equipped with a built-in battery and is charged from the included charger.

Test drive

Apparently, the developers wanted to focus the attention of the potential consumer not on the dynamic properties of the drone, but on its UFO design and first-person flight. For the niche it occupies, WLToys v666 showed good dynamics in the absence of wind. In windy weather, there was a noticeable windage, which in turn negatively affected the handling. The 6-axis gyroscope has proven itself to a great extent for beginners. In general, a high-quality product, turned on and flew.

The drone's flight performance increases significantly if the foam protection is removed.
