Product Description
A tiny, feature-packed racing drone designed for flying indoors, the Walkera Rodeo 110 comes with everything you need to get started right out of the box, even an extra battery! The brushless motors, slim fuselage, and carbon-fiber frame keep it light, fast, and agile, while the 600TVL camera—optimal for racing—captures high-quality video of all the action Read More
As someone who both designs, builds, and flies "real" drones (what this wants to be), I must say that any company who uses the term "Fuselage wheelbase" is clearly looking to take $ from your wallet into theirs.
Walkera is one of the top disposable units out there.
To anyone engaged in the hobby this whole unit is pretty offensive.
"Main rotor diameter" -- useless number
Battery: 7.4V 850mAh 25C 2S Li-Po >> Flight time: 7–8 min >> my match says No.
If you are going to spend $600 go elsewhere. Learn to build or just fly this into the trash because that is where is will end up.
ukd555As a person who builds and flies drones I will say that this quad is a perfect entry level package. the phrases like "Fuselage wheelbase" and "Main rotor diameter" are literally bad translation and are commonly used badly translated terms that respectively mean " motor to motor measurement" and "prop size".
If this were avalible as just a BNF package and the option of getting extra batteries I would purchase this myself as a small fun jumper.
does this drone have cameras/gimble such that the 3d or head tilt tracking features of the goggles matter? seems to me like the cheapest goggles use the full range of features offered by the quadcopter

This drone does not have a pan and tilt mechanism attached to the camera. Most racing drones use a fixed position camera except for mechanically/manually adjusting the angle of attack (tilt). The reason for this is during high speed racing, if the camera is changing position relative to the body of the aircraft it can be confusing and can give the pilot a false sense of positioning resulting in overcorrection or undercorrection. Most head tracking units are used in aerial cinematography or on surface vehicles like cars, trucks and boats, to put one in the driver's seat while having the ability to look around and spot objects and their relation to the vehicle, hope this helps!

DC_JCThere are 2 types of drones: Drones with camera and camera with drone. The is the former, huge difference. Head tracking, like 3D, is generally useless and will decrease your time required to fatal crash. Head tracking is only "valid" when you have auto-level + GPS lock (both are really dangerous for novice). Gimbals start at $200 for an entry gimbal (no camera). This is a 110 sub250 gram offering - if you don't recognize the difference and utility you should go back to googling drone information until you learn enough to not enter the hobby. All of us who are trying to keep the hobby less-illegal (this unit is illegal on several front like all FPV drone).
The goggles have more features so you can invest in a bigger unit only to find that the goggles really don't perform. I know this because I spec builds for a lot of people who go through this cycle.
