C128 Sentry Helicopter Black Hornet Clone Flight Test Review
This RC helicopter is a clone of the Black Hornet spy helicopter. It includes optical flow automatic hover capability, and a 1080p resolution FPV camera. Find it here
NOTE THAT I MENTION THAT IT DOESN’T COME WITH A PHONE HOLDER. I’M WRONG. IT’S HIDDEN AND TAPED UNDER THE PACKAGING INSERT.
Pros
- Flying toy helicopter clone of the FLIR Black Hornet.
- Weighs only 79 grams and does not require registration in most countries.
- Four channel control with cyclic pitch and roll servos control, throttle, and yaw control.
- Flybarless design with 6G (3 accelerometer and 3 gyro) stabilization system.
- Optical flow sensor provides automatic hovering capability.
- Altitude hold capability.
- One key takeoff and landing.
- 580 mah battery provides up to 15 minutes of flight time. (I got 12 minutes)
- 80 meter control range.
- Locked rotor and fly-away protection of the motors.
- 1080p camera records video and photos to your phone via the Sentry app over WiFi signal.
Cons
- Altitude hold feature can not be turned off.
- Optical flow works best outdoors in bright sunlight.
- 1080p video looks choppy due to the low 20 fps frame rate.
- Brushed main and tail rotor motors.
