Vivitar Duo FPV “Racing Drone” Review (w/drone footage)

A quick review of a new entry level fpv drone by vivitar from a beginner’s perspective.
ASIDE: The wind was blowing the drone around a bit in the last clip.

Beware, no spare parts are available from the manufacturer(Vivitar).This is like building a car that has rims welded on so you cant replace tires. "One Key Unlock" does not work. Use both sticks down and inboard instead. The manual refers to the "Emergency" button pg 16 to shut off rotors in case of a crash or at touchdown of landing to stop rotors. There is no indication on controller layout Manual pg5 that shows. After three emails with tech support, they sent an updated manual image showing that it is the same as the "One key landing" button. Manual landing by reducing throttle until touchdown causes the vehicle to hop around a lot and the drone does not spin down rotors automatically and high risk of prop damage. After talking with tech support they said " Once you press the emergency button the drone should land steadily. You should press and hold the emergency button for a safe landing. " This does seem to work consistently if you land where you took off.

Thanks for the info, can you fly this without the goggles if you wanted?

Lol that's a toy grade, dji mini might be better for recording and I don't like dji much and 5 inch fpv Is a different discipline. Plus entry in analog is cheaper then 1000. 550 is base entry price unless you go digital then it's 1000 plus.
