@ Ruben you need to amend your Google Plus settings so we can reply to you on YouTube

Wow, this looks like a cool concept with a micro gimbal. Can't wait to see how that performs. Really enjoying your channel, Andy. I love the micro FPV videos that you have done. I'm ordering some frames and components now, and have the soldering iron ready to go. While quads/drones in general have gotten a bad rap in the press, these micro devices seem to be much less of a problem. They are much safer and have a limited range versus their larger brethren. Heaven forbid, if one did hit an aircraft, there would not be any collateral damage as they weigh much less than most birds.

Would love to see one of these carry a 1080p camera on a micro gimbal with a larger battery and 10 plus minute flight time. i'm sure you'll be testing these items as they come out. Keep up the great work!

The reason I want one of these is to fly out fishing bait and drop it in perfect areas. With your skills you could easy do it. Even at 200 yards.

We have a show called shark tank over here in the US, I would think they would be similar to the dragon den.

This thing looks like a re-badged Walkera Ladybird, I'm sure it's nice but there's a long way to go between this and the 3.0 version.

Good morning!

Nice, I never knew about this either, I've made some progress a frame but nothing like this.

If you want any 3D prints for this I would be happy to spin them out for you.

Hey andy, nice flying! Do you have an actual stabilized footage from the drone?

[SkydiveDriver]

Hi Andy I have seen prices for this range from $100.00 which was mention at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show to $175.00 plus $20.00 shipping. Do you have any confirm prices on it yet. Nice review by the way, job well done.

[rayikaikin]

not a fan of the autoflip feature.. btw have you considered a brushless micro quad like rotorx's atom or the et150?

[MicroRCFiend]

Another brushed micro, meh. A super tiny gimbal? Ok you got me, drooling and stuff.

Hi Andy
I saw Vernon's pitch to the Dragons, and maybe I'm biased, but I thought they needed their bumps felt when they didn't back him. It may look like a Ladybird but that's where the similarity ends.
I'm not a fan of smart device controllers. I have a Walkera W100 that originally used my smart device but I now fly that with my Taranis and just use the smart device for video.
Based on your review I'd say that this quad is probably the best flyer in its size but I think you're more qualified to confirm or deny that.
Great review, Andy, and thanks for sharing.
Regards
Nidge

I already spend around 100gbp trying to get a 100mm picnic quads frame flying with h107d parts. With no luck. Buying this 2.0 seems like a better choice :-)

[boertjie]

a Very good review thanks. a Friend told me about this little machine and i went and had a look, but the flight vid is really the thing that sways me towards this little guy.

[gmonkey]

You have good pilot skills. How hard is it to fly from absolute beginner?

[acgkplh]

Bummer, I'd be all over it if it is fatshark compatible. And buying it in a hope someone develops a 5.8ghz module for it is a shot in the dark. looks like I'll be buying a Blade nano qx fpv

[acgkplh]

I'm assuming the 3.0 fpv isn't fatshark compatible?

[jaydenrichards]

I'm considering buying a micro drone 3.0 when it comes out. Do you know when it does?

[muhh]

"I thought magnets created RF noise" Hahaha, how would you come to that idea? :)
Very intresting device though :)

[crawlervideo]

My dream a small quadcopter stay in the air like nailed even in some light wind and only if i want it moves in a stable direction, i want it even on FPV mode.if i let the sticks of it stabel itself at this point. i need no flip or trick function only stabel filming or FPVing (chase function optional) in verry tight or obstacle full places even under mild wind with 15 minutes real flighttime .Hmm maybe next year.Verry nice micro!

Final camera specs were 720p at 20fps... Terrible video as a result.
