Walkera QR X-350pro review - WOW They grow up so fast

 

It was just last summer that Walkera announced their first RTF GPS quad. the x350 was a nice little plastic quad, flew OK but was not a run-away success.

The $250 RTF 3axis gimbal that rocks!

This is not the prettiest gimbal you have ever seen, its akward at best, but who cares, the price is right and the thing works.

This is a 3axis Alexmoss gimbal, pre-programmed from the factory, interestingly the factory states clearly "DO NOT EDIT SETTINGS"  this thing is ready to fly.

NEW - Walkera Pandora Warrior - RTF

HOLY BATSHIT BATMAN.!     I wanted one since the movie,  No really, its just a thing and it don't give backrubs,  but this thing is just plainly cool.  It is a model RC scale aircraft, personifying a aircraft from a animated feature movie.. its like flying FPV in your imagination. and trust me.. NON-RC people dig this thing big time..   you don't need to explain why its cool, they get it.  pop your goggles on a kids head and give them a free ride in a Pandora Warrior. Nuf Said.     

Ive got the low-down for you, Pictures, Video and 360 object movie. Click through for details.
