Ideafly Octopus F90 mini FPV drone
IdeaFly Octopus F90 micro FPV quadcopter with F3 flight controller Like many Chinese drone manufactures, IdeaFly also announced their own TinyWhoop clone called Octopus F90.

IDEA-FLY Poseidon-480 waterproof quadcopter

IDEAFLY Poseidon 480 waterproof quadcotper
I bet that every pilot is a bit afraid to fly above a lake or river with his precious drone. The IdeaFly Poseidon-480 is advertised with IP68 waterproof rating and the fact that it can safely land on a water surface. Of course, without too big waves. Unlike other waterproof drones that require a waterproof camera, the Poseidon-480 is suitable for any GoPro or...

Ideafly Grasshopper F210 with insane flight speed

Ideafly Grasshopper f210 racing quadcopter

IdeaFly Hero-550

IdeaFly Hero-550 standard and Hero-550 deluxe The IdeaFly multi-rotor manufacturer recently announced a new big sized quadcopter, the Hero-550. Compared to the IdeaFly Apollo with white color finish, this new model has an outstanding full black finish with red colored front arms for better orientation. Looking on its takeoff weight, features like telemetry and retractable landing gears, we know that we are dealing with a...

IDEAFLY Apollo FPV GPS quadcopter review

With an integrated flight control system guided by GPS and wireless 5.8Ghz image transmission for FPV, this aircraft can be a very powerful substitute for the much-expensive Dji Phantom 2. The onboard GPS can provide advanced flight modes like precise position hold, fail-safe auto return, and semi-autopilot mode. Flying with the Idea-Fly Apollo quadcopter can be remarkable even for professional pilots because is...
