It would seem that we have entered a new age of connectivity between devices. Imagine a few years ago, somewhere in the mid noughties, someone telling you that you could connect a drone with a camera to your phone and then get it to stream high definition footage to the screen. Imagine they told you that you could even control the drone’s movement with your phone. Let’s be honest here – you’d have probably laughed them out of the door.
Well, these days that��s not such a fantastical idea, and this awesome 2.4GHz FX-123 Quadcopter is a prime example of the best of the modern-day drone craze. It has a whole variety of exciting features that should be familiar to the experienced drone-flyer – the best part of this drone, however, is the associated app, which when your phone is connected to the drone’s own WiFi network, connects with the manually-adjustable HD camera on the drone to show you exactly what the drone is seeing as it flies in real time – perfect for panoramic views of the countryside as you go out flying.
Jam packed with a whole host of incredible systems in place to make your Quadcopter as smooth a machine to control as you could possibly imagine. It has motion-response steering, a 6-axis gyroscope system that allows for stable flight, three different speed settings for your preferred amount of acceleration, and an auto-return function for simpler landings. It's also got an incredible headless mode, for those who prefer left and right steering to be from their own perspective rather than the drone’s, and even better is the altitude hold system, allowing for an easier flight and stopping you worrying about accidentally ploughing into the ground.
The FX-123 features four built-in LEDs for night-flights, should you be so inclined, and calibrating trim control for all directions and it’s equipped with protective blade guards too, keeping the blades safer in the event of unfortunate navigational errors. If said errors should occur, however, don't worry, as it also comes with a replacement set of blades.
This is a brilliant machine that combines a whole host of magnificent features to create a truly wonderful flying experience. Definitely not one to miss out on.
