Re: Drones

Conn, I don't have a measurement. It was way up there and could have gone higher. I would have had I had the tilt control engaged. I was using the the beginner mode setting. I have a Horizon BLADE 350 QX2. Flight time is about 15 minutes so until Horizon comes out with a 6000 MAh lipo battery I have twinned two 3000 together for a flight time of 30 minutes. The second battery has to be strapped to the outside shell in the balance sweet spot but it flys steady and more importantly, longer.
The QX2 includes their own Cgo1 camera, an equal substitute for the GoPro.
Free downloadable software wifis images to your smartphone or tablet secured to the RC controller on the ground. the camera and gimbal button controls are on the tablet's touch screen monitor. It's too easy...
I have not yet graduated even to the second level and the third gives you complete unfetter control of the copter aka, speed, ceiling height and acrobatics.
