The new, upgraded VISUO K1 PRO drone comes with a 4K camera and 2-axis gimbal video stabilization. In addition to the frontal main camera, there is a second camera under the belly of the fuselage which serves as an optical flow positioning sensor. You can even toggle between the view of these two cameras. The K-1 PRO features 5Ghz WiFi real-time image transmission.
Like most actual drones, it also features backpack friendly foldable design. With folded arms, the VISUO K-1 PRO measures just 10.5 x 7 x 17 cm. Weighting almost 500 grams, it requires FAA registration.
According to the specs, the 3s/2500mAh battery allows up to 30 minutes of battery life. The LIPO pack can be conveniently recharged with any USB phone charger.

VISUO K1 PRO remote controller
Visuo packs its K-1 Pro drone with a compact, light in weight, and easy to use, remote controller. It uses 4 pieces of AA batteries which are not included in the box. Apart from the usual things (control sticks and buttons), there is a nice status LCD screen in the center of the remote. The tiny display provides real-time telemetry data such as flight distance, altitude, RC signal strength, and battery life. The transmitter claims to provide more than a 1.5Km control range.
