Kaideng K70C Sky Warrior Drone Flight Test Review

Pro's
- 720p HD camera with wide angled lens. But the mount also is designed for GoPro style cameras. Can easily replace the existing camera with GoPro or GoPro clone cameras.
- No propellers in video! Camera is mounted far forward, and quadcopter arms are swept back to prevent quadcopter components coming into field of view.
- Powered remote control gimbal. Can remotely tilt camera full down, horizontal, or angles in between.
- Camera anti vibration mounts. Works best at totally eliminating jello with heavier action cameras.
- Camera mount sized and designed to accommodate GoPro and GoPro clone cameras.
- Great range in excess of 150 meters.
- Appears to use Syma X8C sized plug-in motors (power plugs appear to be same also).
- Good power and steep pitch make this quadcopter very fast at high rates.
- Great LED lighting, good night flier.

Con's
- Over 250 grams. Will require FAA registration.

It is refreshing to see some well thought out improvements in a toy quad
And congratulations on the well deserved 50k subs

[corrales]

man, I want to fly at satellite lake one of this days. I just love all the space you have. no buildings, no houses, no wires. no poles, no nothing. absolutely love it.

[spicedrum]

Great videos Quadcopter101!!! It is because of you and your videos that I have got into quadcopters. Been flying for a few months and really love it.
Thanks again and keep the videos coming ;)

This looks like one cool Quad. The horizontal moving Gimbal is a great idea and seems to work great. Those lights at night are awesome and new feature I would love to see on more quads. Nice job

[walkertongdee]

Hey just wanted to say thanks for putting up with my comments and answering. Thanks to you I have decided to buy this quad and a cheaper learner one you featured. I will be waiting for the altitude hold and 300 meter distance feature that is supposedly coming soon along with battery and parts availability. I will be getting the Kai Deng K70F the FPV version. Also thanks for recommending the camera, I'm hoping it will lift the sj 5000. Impatiently awaiting your reviews of these new versions. This is a big deal for me I am a jungle explorer and boat builder in Thailand and this will help me feature my explorations on my channel and feature my new business boat building. I viewed at least 60 of your videos and many other channels and you were the best. Don't forget to have fun.Thai Sean, Walkertongdee channel.

The camera down is a great feature esp to find home again. I just got the controller board and transmitter for the quad on banggood and will install it in my Syma X8W chassis. This model seems to be what the Bayangtoys X16 wanted to be.  Thanks for your effort to help inform.

[InTheSh]

As a camera drone the Bayangtoys X16 (brushless, altitude hold) might be the better choice over this one and the syma x8. If the brushless motors are good quality this quad will blow everything away. Hope you'll test it soon quad101.

This quad is going to be real hard to beat with performance and price! I have a friend that has a nano quad and he had a real
hard time trying to fly it. The nano quad discouraged him from buying another quad and I need to tell him about this one since all
he wants one for is to check his house gutters for leaves his excuse, and I'd bet he really wants to get into RC! :)

[zuluflight]

Super Insider Information about the replaceble syma parts. Really importand thing is that. Good vids, always getting me in a good mood.

[MrSnoopaloop]

I believe the shape and style with the front arms back like that is called the dead cat configuration

[ianmckay]

Just noticed if you unscrew the original lens cover that states it is a 180 degree fish eye the original lens is exposed, might give a more realistic view of around 90 degrees. I have yet to try this.

[ichhasseamerika]

By the way, nice touch adding the night flight at the end (including dog commentary)! That little feature just might sell me on it! :) By the way, how many UFO reportings got called in ;) hahaha.

[INTELMAXELL]

This is another game changer in the toys division boys and girls, awesome video. =)

[thomaslyth]

hi great site. I got the new version yesterday it has the take off button press it and the blades start spinning then you put throttle in and it goes up rapidly. Throttle is set at half way so you can not close throttle completely you have to press the take off button for 3 seconds cuts motors . I hope you get one to look at its weird probably spoilt it.

[johnusjohnson]

great looking quad, but those brushed motors might be an issue carrying a big camera around, but like I said it looks great. Camera is not great but stick an SJ4000 on it and it'll be all good.

[billsomrak]

Good (several) flights. Have to admit that on the 1st attempt, I was wondering if there was something wrong with the lens or the camera, but fortunately, you cleared that up in flight #2. When stationary, the video is decent, but the mount doesn't seem to be able to eliminate jello or shake. The motors do sound like X8 motors; glad they chose those instead of the dreaded N50 Tarantula motors. Looking at the props, I wonder if they are attached like the X8 (with the locking pin and cam holding it down on a splined shaft, with push on covers, or if those are screw on props, like the DJI Phantom uses? The stepper camera angle adjustment is a neat feature (can't really call it a gimbal, since it doesn't hold the camera steady relative to the quad bouncing around in the wind). Given the features, the $90 price tag is quite reasonable. Other features I liked were the labeling of the TX, the lights, the location of the on/off switch, and the ability to open the inside compartment. Thanks for the review ... looking forward to seeing what surprises 2016 will bring (already surprised at the huge price reduction by DJI and others in that class). Cheers!

[MilanKarakas]

Wow, what a beautiful remote! Okay, drone is nice too. I bet I can make it fly past 2 kilometers with antenna mod (my current record with Bayangtoys X8 is 1.1 km).

So, finally I can buy parts for my K70c quadcopter. Great. So I did. I bought some new landing gear, props and prop guards. Now mind you, I bought this thing almost two months ago and first initial flight, crashed and broke one landing leg. I was not happy. So I took off the camera and just practiced a few times with no landing gear. It worked great. Awesome response, fast and very agile. So now that I have a "complete" copter and I flew it, all of a sudden it makes this loud grinding kinda sound and nose dives to the right and smashes into the ground. Could the motor have gone bad ? I'm just glad that it was only a few feet off the ground.

[DelQuadX]

I saw this on LighTake but wasn't sure about it.
Thanks for helping me make up my mind.

[travelalong]

really enjoy your reviews, very entertaining and informative.
