This large FPV flier includes altitude hold, remote controlled gimbal, long range FPV system, and automatic landing on low battery. Find it here http://www.banggood.com/Cheerson-CX-35-CX35-5_8G-500M-FPV-With-2MP-Wide-Angle-HD-Camera-Gimbal-High-Hold-Mode-RC-Quadcopter-p-1028417.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3
Pro’s
– Stable altitude hold feature.
– Automatic takeoff and landing.
– 2MP/720p video camera and 5.8 Ghz FPV transmitter and receiver/monitor. Includes a flat panel antenna with excellent FPV reception, advertised at up to 500m..
– Remote controlled, smooth tilting camera gimbal.
– Does not fall from the sky if low battery LED warning is ignored. Instead as a secondary LVC, the quadcopter will enter into a slow descent to a gentle landing. Once it gets close to the ground, the barometer senses ground effect pressure increase to automatically adjust the throttle for a very gentle landing. This feature is actually very impressive, and demonstrated in the above video at 14:07.
– Stable flier, providing relatively smooth aerial video.
– Includes headless mode and one key return.
Con’s
– Short flight time. Advertised at 7 minutes, but my flights were only a little over 5 minutes.
– Control of the quadcopter is minimal during automatic low power battery descent.
– Although 500m reception range may be possible with its flat panel antenna. But the quadcopter’s controller is only advertised at 100m. Thus you may not really be able to fly FPV out to its maximum reception range as you will likely lose control of the quadcopter.
– Over 250 grams weight, requires FAA registration.

Hey Quadcopter, it’s available at gearbest now.
Nice quad. Still hard to beat the Syma X8 line of quads for battery time.
Mine would fly at least 10 Min per pack not running the camera. I have
already worn out 3 X8’s. 2 X8Cs and an X8G. Their end came with the
electronics failing. But I flew the heck out of them. Motors are worn out
too. One so worn the shaft wobbled. Time for another new one. I wish I
could find another drone the size of the X8C that would use the same
batteries since I have collected quite a few. I’d like to find one with a
better wind resistance and more tilt and power capability. As you have
stated they are a camera bird and I have got good enough now for stunt
flying and the X8C don’t like that too well.
How do you get a quadcopters to stay in one place in the air? Love your
channel by the way.
The props sound like they aren’t balanced so I suspect that’s the reason
for the jello in the videos otherwise it looks like a
decent quad except for the run time on the battery. Putting the
“Specifications Listing” in the review is a BIG PLUS! Real good
review on the “Leopard” quad and thanks for it.
I am totally done with Quads or Drones, will not waste another dollar on
the things, have like 50 big and small ones.In my country the Netherlands
they are coming with new rules which will make it impossible too fly your
quad. The Hobby shop can put there stock with the junk on the curb. Enjoy
your Quad or Drone while you still can, soon it will be world wide not
possible anymore
Gear best shows them in stock at this time. 4/24/16.
this has a very clear picture, but the vibration is giving me a migraine !
What’s the best quality camera quadcopter for a beginner?
Nice review.. Must be really heavy for that short flight. Love that it is
FPV and the gimbal. I am sure the jello could be fixed. But the flight
time…to bad the battery bay is tight, maybe strap a larger battery on
top?? Thanks for the thorough review!
what motor or gear can i replace this quad.if i break it?
Where to buy Cheerson CX35 Leopard? I have not found it. In your link,
Banggood Model is Phantom…
Nice lookin quad! I don’t understand why they would build a quad that only
flies for 5 min! I wouldn’t want one unless the batteries are dirt cheap.
Keep up the videos, I’m finally catching up with seeing them all.
