Here’s is a full and in-depth review of the XK Detect X380 Quadcopter Drone http://goo.gl/c5Chgq
In this complete review I put it through it’s paces. Out of the box inspection, extensive flight testing, flight video (onboard and off) range test, altitude test, fail safe TX shut off test, barometer test hover test… the list goes on.
Very nice. I really enjoyed my WL V303, and wish I bought another, or
this, instead of the CX20 I bought.
Excellent review……..THANKS
nice looking quad
+Dustin Dunnill your welcome
+iam4god2day iam sure it could be done
Thanks Kevy, it performed well.
Might try it now that you mention it. An FPV setup on the X380 so I can see
through the camera tilted down at tree top and some kind of claw rigged up
would be cool…hmmmmm. Although that mini hex won’t be worth it if the
x380 gets stuck too.
+Kevys Rc & Music I subed to you awhile back , I am asking if he would use
a copter to get his nano drone out of that tree he lost it in , it may be
great fun watching something like that LOL
Great review, very insightful, I’m looking forward to seeing what mods you
come up with.
Thanks seafax, I have great hopes for building it up with mods 🙂
Thanks for the great review. I intend to get one of these quadcopters in
the near future and intend to hook it up with a Walkera 2D Gimbal. I will
appreciate very much if you explained how you hooked up your Walkera gimbal
to the quad ports.
I had to hook up both 12v and 5v + signal pin for tilt otherwise gimbal was
wandering. I go through what pins are what on the X380 in the video since
they don’t mention it in manual.
why don’t you use your camera drone to search that tree for your little hex
copter? then if you find it rig up a wire or string to nab it all at the
same time getting it on camera so we can watch and maybe give advice on how
to get it down. I saw a vid how 2 men got a broken drone off the top of a
castle with a tricopter
I was thinking I might just try that. The micro hex is so cheap though and
I’d hate to loose it in the tree also. If I was rescuing a larger Drone I
would do it.
good video, looks to have good sturdy landing gear…what’s it have for a
flight controller?
V 5400mAh 20C battery, which should give the quadcopter drone over 25 minutes of flight time. Now, that isn t something you get from multicopters as affordable as the Detect X380!
Hi,
1. I would like to know, whether ground station software (FlightCtrlConfigV4.12-ground station) can recognize if some sensors are not working properly/damaged? I have had a small crash of X380 – the landing frame with magnetic sensor was damaged (I will replace it by a new one). After the crash I connected the quadcopter to ground station – all sensors (except magnetic compass) seemed to be working OK. But when I turned quadcopter and transmitter on, I have not received green light flashing (there was green-red flashing – which indicates no GPS(?) Is the GPS function dependent on/linked to presence of magnetic sensor in quadcopter or what can be reason (for no green light)? i.e. once I replace damaged magnetic sensor, can I expect that the GPS will again work (green light flashing – if the GPS sensor is now OK)?
2. regarding “return home” function. If the quadcopter will be e.g. 500m from me and I switch off the transmitter, will it automatically return to me and will it also smoothly land on ground (from point where it started)?
3. when the “return home” function is ON, and during the return I will press throttle, take off/landing button, any other button… may this disrupt return process? Can I switch off “return home” function during returning quadcopter and start to control drone manually (without danger of crash – stopping work motors in air)?
Thanks for your help,
Vic
My brother recommended I would possibly like this website.
He was entirely right. This submit truly made my day.
You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
