BETAFPV Aquila16 FPV Drone Kit with Altitude Hold, 8Mins Flight, for FPV Beginner to Fly Indoor Outdoor Longer, 3 Flight&Speed Modes, DVR Recording, Simulator Supported, 1S RTF Kit with ELRS 3.0

If you've never flown an FPV drone in Acro mode, this is one of the best tickets to the sport.Pros1) long flight time (up to 8 minutes) is very useful for beginners as most of this time you'll be walking to pick it up2) it's built like a tank. I've lost count of times I smashed mine into obstacles or ground. It still flies! Unbelievable.3) Besides acro, there are two more forgiving modes. If you're an absolute beginner, you'll absolutely appreciate them4) Decent goggles that go over glasses and can record your flight5) Everything is pre-bound and is ready to fly out of the box. Can you put together a better kit from other components? Yes. At this price point? Mmm... Maybe. But the learning curve? You'll need to know a lot to pull together a similar kit by yourself.6) Good customer support from BetaFPVCons:1) When you get the hang of Acro, you'll discover Aquila's limitations. But hey, it's not a racing drone! It's an entry level drone that delivers tons of fun and lets you learn FPV. If you begin to feel really limited by Aquicla16, then it has served its purpose and you're ready to move onto something more serious.2) No buzzer. Would be nice for beginners.3) Camera is good only in good sunlight. Dusk makes it unusable.4) Can't configure it in BetaFlight. But if you know what BetaFlight is, you're not a beginner :-)

Much better than the smaller one sold by betafpv. Batteries last longer. Handling is better. Goggles are lighter and clearer (that might be my imagination). Was really easy to learn to get good fast. Doesn’t fly away in the wind

The media could not be loaded. This is an updated review after receiving a new drone from BetaFPV. I'll say that customer service is great from them. I got this kit to learn to fly FPV, the first drone I got was the whole kit from Amazon and the drone itself was plagued with issues. It would yaw out super hard if you pushed it, like >360° yaw washouts. It was like hitting a banana peel on Mario Cart. It would also randomly disarm itself, and that's how I lost the first drone. I contacted BetaFPV and this is why I'm updating my review. They were very helpful and sent me a new quad with two new batteries. They told me that they would test the drone before sending it and it seems like they did what they said. The new drone operates way better and I'm assuming this is closer to how it's supposed to be. Just don't expect this thing to be an FPV racing style drone. It's what is called a cinewhoop and they are designed to fly smooth, and slower than a freestyle drone. A big part of why my old drone was messing up is because I was expecting too much out of it. I tried to push it to fly fast/smooth and this drone doesn't like it but I adjusted my flight style and have achieved fast smooth. You have to fly properly though, like using roll and yaw in the turns to prevent the drone yawing out of control. I posted a video on this review showing some of the flight issues on the new drone. After this one disarm it hasn't done it again. Flying inside is a dream with this drone and outside is a blast as long as the wind isn't too strong. Just remember that this drone is constantly trying to keep itself level and it will fight you if you push it too hard. This is a good starter kit, just remember it don't like going fast.

This is not even close to a "Beginner" drone.. I'm decently versed now, this is my 3rd drone, I decided to spend a good amount of money on this, I received it today, and of course all the batteries from the controller to the headset and the 2 batts they include, all dead.. I seen to have to run a channel search every time I switch a battery which is a nightmare, and takes some time even to find the video channel it uses, the picture is just horrible it just flickers in and out and a long lag time, it's like I wasted my money on this because the goggles were the biggest thing I wanted and that was to be able to pilot the drone as if I was inside it'd cockpit and these glasses? Horrible.. they flicker in and out and they do not even come close to keeping up with your controling it, huge lag time, so it makes it almost impossible to use it's most important feature I bought this for.. I'm very angry, I looked at reviews and YouTube for weeks and got this because it was supposed to be decent but it is absolutely not.. the drone itself is very fast for inside unless you use speed 1, and even in mode 2 its almost impossible to control, it goes up to the ceiling and then smacks down on the floor with even the very slightest of movement in the controller gimbal.. and I do not like the gimbal on the left where it just swings free with no spring at all.. I liked the regular spring back to center I have had in my last 3 drones.. I was so happy and excited only to be completely and totally let down.. and where is this altitude hold??? if the goggles worked correctly it would be fun but you can't fly this with the goggles, the lag is so far behind your already crashed before you see your moving through the goggles.. I'm am disgusted and very angry I bought this, I should have bought the D brand, I would have got what I paid for, but this is terrible.
