Another cool quadrocopter model among the mini drones is the Graupner S5012 Quadrocopter Alpha 110, which has a very robust frame, weighs only 43 g and is perfect for flight training for beginners and inexperienced drone pilots.
You get the model completely assembled, so you only have to charge the battery and then you can fly directly.
The quadrocopter is especially suitable for flying in your own four walls. Although the drone can be flown around quite fast, it has important safety features, such as the propeller protection.
Technical data
Especially cool is the fixed FPV camera with a 5.8 Ghz 25 mW transmitter, which is quite rare for such models. The FPV model allows you to fly the drone from the ego perspective. This makes the flight experience even more realistic for you.
The Graupner S5012 Quadrocopter Alpha 110 is particularly popular because of its robust construction. Even if you bang against any objects in the living room, against the ceiling or the lamp, the drone simply crashes and remains undamaged in almost all cases. This is simply due to the materials used for the model and its compact dimensions.
A great advantage of the Graupner S5012 Quadrocopter Alpha 110 is the fact that it is a fully assembled model. The propeller, LiPo battery and FPV camera are completely installed and the quadrocopter is ready to fly.
Design
As a training quadrocopter, however, the model is suitable not only because of its robust construction, but also because the drone is so small. It is so small that it even fits into a large trouser pocket.
The Graupner Copter is available in various colours, including red/white and grey/white.
Above in the middle there is a small antenna, in front the camera and at the propeller drives a resistant propeller protection.
The drone stands on 4 pointed feet, these are fixed and cannot be removed. The battery is located underneath. All in all the small drone does not look much different from the other quadrocopter models.
Camera and FPV live image transmission
Unlike many other miniature drone models, the Graupner S5012 Quadrocopter has a HD camera with FPV live image transmission. This system is very reliable and stable.
Via the HoTT transmitter the drone can switch between a total of 4 video channels. This guarantees an interference-free transmission of the video image to the FPV glasses or monitor.
Of course, the video quality cannot be compared to that of a larger calibre camera drone. It is a real special feature that a mini quadrocopter has such a function at all.
Battery and flight time
The model has a rechargeable 350 mAh lipo-battery which you can easily replace.
Unfortunately the flight time is not very good, the drone stays in the air for about 5 minutes, after that you have to change or recharge the battery.
Flight Stabilization
Another cool feature is the 360 degree flip function, which allows the pilot to perform spectacular stunts at the push of a button in all directions around his own axis. It’s quite something and you don’t need any special skills to do it. The drone constantly balances itself in flight.
If you are a more experienced pilot, you can also switch to the roll rate mode, in which the copter can be controlled even more versatile.
Assets and drawbacks
Advantages:
- Rechargeable battery for replacement
- Auto-flip function for spectacular stunts
- Has integrated switchable LEDs for better visibility
- Perfect for beginners and inexperienced drone pilots
Disadvantages:
- Unfortunately only 5 minutes flight time
- Somewhat windy
Conclusion
The fully assembled mini quadrocopter has a wide range of functions and is perfectly suited for beginners and people who want to become real drone pilots but do not yet have any flying experience.
Especially the FPV kit and the stunt function are some cool features that are relatively rare among drone models.
We can definitely recommend the mini-drone to anyone who is still looking for a mini-drone with camera and FPV. The price is quite balanced and the price/performance ratio is okay.
