Sbego FQ777-124 Pocket Quadcopter Review

Introduction

In 2014, a nov­el­ty appeared on the win­dows of drone stores — nano quad­copters. Cheer­son CX-10 then became a best­seller. The Sbego FQ777-124 quadro­copter, announced in the sum­mer of 2015, dif­fers from its pre­de­ces­sors by the pres­ence of three fea­tures not pre­vi­ous­ly imple­ment­ed in a UAV of this size: Head­less mode / Return to the trans­mit­ter from the but­ton / Case for trans­porta­tion and stor­age.

Appearance

Motors

The Sbego FQ777-124 quadro­copter is equipped with col­lec­tor-type motors, the poten­tial of which is quite enough for a dynam­ic flight both at home and on the street.

Battery

It comes with a non-remov­able 1S 3.7V 100mAh LiPo lithi­um poly­mer bat­tery. In the test, I pro­vid­ed a flight time of 4–5 min­utes. On aver­age, it will take no more than 20 min­utes to charge the bat­tery.

Control

In fact, a clas­sic 4 × chan­nel remote con­trol oper­at­ing at a fre­quen­cy of 2.4 GHz. Allows the quadric to be removed at a dis­tance of up to 30 meters. Pow­er is sup­plied from 4 × AA bat­ter­ies, 1.5V each. Only the pres­ence of two facts upset me, the con­trol sticks are short and with tight springs, and the func­tion but­tons are small. It will take time to get used to such equip­ment.

flight properties

In the test, the quad showed a pleas­ant dynamism for its size. I didn’t have to get used to the con­trols, the help of a 6‑axis gyro­scope affects. Return to the trans­mit­ter, Head­less mode, flips, worked with­out com­ment.

Price

Sbego FQ777-124 is sold on var­i­ous Inter­net trad­ing plat­forms at an aver­age price of $15.
