Review

Estes Proto-X is here in such box:

In it you will find everything you need for flying quadrocopters:

  • copter
  • Remote Control
  • USB-Charger
  • 4 spare propeller
  • instructions in English

It looks like this:

Appearance Proto-X quadrocopters typical for this class: it has a very short rays and small propellers. Diagonal distance between the motors is less than 50 millimeters, and a length and width of it is only 45 mm. In general, the size of it as a cracker :)

The mini-case crammed with all the necessary electronics.

Nano-quadrocopters created to fly in the middle of the room: the conditions of the street they are not suitable, especially in times when the wind is blowing, even if it is weak. Moreover, despite its size, Proto-X is very strong: even hitting the walls and ceiling, it does not fall apart, but continues to fly.

To control the copter using a small remote control 2.4Ghz clocked at outwardly looking like a child's toy:

Because of its size, to keep it in two hands is problematic, especially if you have wide palms. Left stick to control for climb and turns, and the right - to control the direction of flight. Quadrocopters can also hover in one place, but it needs to get the hand to control it: Proto-X a very sharp fellow, who quickly fly and climb.

On a full charge Estes Proto-X can fly for 10-15 minutes. When the charge drops to almost zero, the LED indicators that are located under each motor immediately be activated, notifying you of a little battery charge. Then copter still hung in the air a moment, and then slowly down to the floor.

Blue LEDs indicate before quadrocopters, red - his back:

Charging the lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 100mAh for 30 minutes, after which you can re-run quadrocopter into the air.

Estes Proto-X FPV

In addition to the regular version, also sold version of Proto-X FPV. The size of this model is larger than the original in 2 and a half times, but it is built FVP-camera that can not only shoot video, but also watch it online on the remote control, which is specially equipped for the needs of the LCD-display.

The set is just a microSD memory card, and a much more powerful battery, but the value of this release varies between 200-250 dollars, which is higher than the average quadrocopters with cameras of this class.

Conclusions

4606 Estes 'Proto-X' - a very successful nano-quadrocopter. He is playful and strong, capable of a long time to be in the air. Its essential disadvantage is inconvenient remote control, but if you have a remote control of any copter Hubsan'a, try using it with the Proto-X - say, running.
