5 most unique quadcopters
Curious about the most unique and best performing quadcopters? We have selected the absolutely best quadcopters based on certain criteria, including:
- Lightest weight
- Largest battery (or best flight time)
- Best lifting capacity
- Best camera
- Fastest quadcopter
We cannot claim that these are high-quality and proven models. We did not find any reviews for some of the quadcopters. But they are all distinguished by one best characteristic, which is not endowed with any other quadcopter on the market. True, let's make a correction - only those models that can be bought in online stores were included in the review. The rating is current as of the summer of 2017.
The most unique quadcopters
5 Blade Pico QX BLH8200
The smallest drone on the market is the Blade Pico QX BLH8200. It is an ultra microscopic quadcopter weighing only 10 grams, 92 mm wide and long. Its dimensions are no more than a matchbox, a kind of "pocket copter". It is an ideal workout machine for home and office environments. The controls are extremely simple that even a child can handle. But even in case of difficulty, you can always look at the instructions.
On a full charge, the copter stays in the air for up to 7 minutes. You will not see any cameras, modern functions and special stages, except perhaps the accelerometer. This is understandable - all this increases the weight of the device and deprives the main feature of the Blade Pico QX BLH8200. So, given the compactness and affordable price, this is a good option for organizing "office races".
4 Walkera Furious 320
Walkera Furious 320 is a bugatti veyron in the world of quadcopters. The device has the best indicator of the maximum speed - 120 km / h. A real racing drone with a futuristic design. In the production of Furious 320, another important parameter was taken into account, without which it is impossible to cope with high speed - this is convenient and responsive control. The quadcopter smoothly changes the flight speed and clearly responds to the user's commands. It should be noted that there is a GPS function, thanks to which the drone can hover in the air, hold points at the specified coordinates, and calculate the way home.
The disadvantages of the quadcopter include a weak 2600 mAh battery, which holds a charge for only 10 minutes of flight. Also, we did not see support for Android and iOS in the device.
3 Walkera X800
The Walkera X800 quadcopter stands out with the longest flight time among modern models. The device can hang in the air for almost 60 minutes! This is facilitated by an ultra-capacious 15,000 mAh battery. Together with an excellent camera and a broadcast radius of up to 1000 m, this drone can be used for professional shooting. A nice feature of the model is the support of many "special stages". The manufacturer produces various software and accessories designed to simplify and improve photo and video shooting. You can also use your own SLR camera and action camera on the quadcopter. It is a pity that the price of the device oversteps the mark of 100,000 rubles.
2 DJI Inspire 2 Premium Combo
The second version of the sophisticated professional DJI Inspire drone. This drone has a very cool camera that can record 5.2K video in CinemaDNG RAW. The camera is built into the body of the device and equipped with a modern matrix of 20.8 megapixels. High quality images can be taken up to 3.5 km away. So Inspire 2 can be safely called a "photocopter". The dual battery system can hold a 3 kg copter in the air for up to 27 minutes. And the maximum speed of the device is 108 km / h. The autopilot function allows you to fly around obstacles in two directions. This is the best drone for high-quality and fast photo and video shooting.
1 DJI Agras MG-1
The absolute record holder for lifting heavy loads is the DJI Agras MG-1 octocopter. On its "shoulders" the copter can carry almost 16 kg of various cargo! At the same time, the hovering time in the air, on a full charge, is 24 minutes.The scope of such giants is the processing of farmland (watering, spraying). The Agras MG-1 has a different name - an agricultural copter. The device weighs almost 9 kg and costs about 1,000,000 rubles. So, it is also the most expensive copter in our review.
