This large and fast camera quadcopter has been updated with altitude hold to greatly stabilize and ease flying. Find it here http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=1054295&b=236267&m=27731&afftrack=k70c%20long%20link&urllink=www%2Elightake%2Ecom%2Fp%2FK70H%2DSky%2DWarrior%2D2%2E4G%2D6%2DAxis%2DGyro%2DRC%2DQuadcopter%2D3D%2DFlips%2DRolls%2DHeadless%2DMode%2DOne%2DKey%2DReturn%2D2%2E0MP%2DCamera%2D%2DBlack%2D%2DYellow%5F1981426%2Ehtml
Pros
– Altitude hold feature
– 720p 2MP camera (can replace with GoPro if desired)
– Large stable flier
– Multiple LED’s in each arm. Easily viewable for night flying, or for flash alerting of low voltage in daylight.
– Very fast and maneuverable in high rate
– Headless mode and one key return
Cons
– Requires FAA registration
– Although easy to fly, not recommended for beginners. It’s large, heavy, and can have plenty of momentum. As such, not good as a learn to fly quadcopter for those inevitable beginner hard crashes

Just before my holiday I bought a Kaideng K70.
I took it with me on my holiday to France.
Unfortunately I had a bad a very experience with it.
The second flight two motors refused to function. A bad burning smell came
from the drone.
After inspection it appeared that a wire came loose and some other
components.
The flightboard seemd to be melted some how.
The only thing what happend was that I flew into a tree and hit some
branches.
One or two moters burned out I would have believed but this…?
I blieve this must be due to improper soldering.
Could I claim a warrant on this matter?
what do u do with the quads after the review ?
do you need wifi to use this product?
Really impressed by using this as my first Quadcopter experience. It so
resilient. I have crashed it hard on concrete, trees, grass, stairs just
because it is not a beginner level drone. I always thought that this time
something must have broken but was surprised to see not even a single crack
in any of the props or broken arms. I still have my spare props in the
packaging. One suggestion: Use long screws for binding the legs into the
drone as the default small screws makes them come out easily during hard
landings.Apart from that, This is superdrone !
In your recent review of the WL Toys Q333 you stated that “Alishanmao is
the “Godfather of quadcopters”. I just want you to know that I consider you
as the “Godfather of quadcopters”. Your site and reviews has stimulated
this old Marine into a new hobby at 68 years old. Keep them comming!
Following this comment I am purchasing a Kai Deng K70C from
LighTake.com(hopefully the altitude hold version).
Purchased a Q333 earlied, I put it on the shelf until I am experienced
eneough to fly it. I started with a Hubsan502e and got spoiled. Thanks
again!
I really like this quadcopter. But I’m having wiring problems where some
the wires coming out from the camera/gimbal plug assembly to a connecting
board that feeds into the guts of the gimbal appear to have come loose. I
would really appreciate a link/picture of the proper placement of those
wires….Thanks
Hello Mr. Quadcopter 101,
First of all, I would like to thank you for all those videos that you have
posted so far. Also, I must admit that I have seen majority of them. 🙂
Your videos have shown me how interesting playing with drones can be.
After buying a mini-drone, that I’ve also seen in your vids, I’ve decided
to get a big one. Then I saw this clip. I find that Kaideng has everything
one intermediate level flyer needs. So I ordered one over your link.
I did the first fly today and in first couple of minutes everything seemed
regular. I’ve checked altitude hold, one key return and automatic landing
button. Then I wanted to check how far it can go.
I was on the football field and on about 50m altitude it stopped to respond
on my inputs. It was ascending on and on. I was constantly holding left
stick down, changing rates from L to H. Also, I was pressing Return button
from time to time. It simply flew away.
Please, can you explain me why did this happen? I’m pretty sure I haven’t
done anything bad. Is there a chance that I could get a new one since the
above mentioned site offers 100% guaranteed satisfaction? I have a video of
my flyaway, too.
Thanks in advance, and please reply to me,
Dušan, Serbia
P.S. A little feedback for you: Please, make couple of lists/top 10s, like
best drones per your opinion according to prices, etc..
Best regards! :)
Hi, is better this version or older version? Thanks
Quadcopter 101 please inform people to replace those weak plastic nuts
holding the props with these bearings
and then insert a bit of paperclip metal through the hole in the shaft and
twist them around to make a cotter pin kind of thing. On one of my first
flights a prop spun off in mid air because those little plastic nuts
holding the props with those little metal rods are just too weak and will
eventually break off. Fortunately it happened just feet off the ground so
the quad had no damage 🙂 Anyone have a better idea let me know, I just
think the metal bearings are going to last way longer, and I couldn’t find
replacements for those tiny plastic nuts anyways…
Hi 101. I have two of the 1st ones. The range is very bad and the other
drops out of controll very bad .Do you think I can buy new control board
and swap it out or will it need a something for AH installed
too?bayratbh@yahoo.com
I love these vids they are so informative- I also love how this guy cracks
himself up!!
Is there somewhere we can still purchase the older version- and how would
we identify it from the this newer one?
