With all the cool "Tiny Whoop" videos out there and all the hype surrounding this the Inductrix I thought it was about time to get onboard and try one out.
I bought the RTF Kit, which comes with 1 x Blade Inductrix quad, 2 coloured canopies, 1 Lipo, 1 USB Lipo charger and 1 Blade Radio.
As I wanted to go the route of FPV I had to get a micro fpv cam/Vtx combo.
I picked up a Hyperion Mini 600TVL Camera with bilt in 5.8Ghz 25mW Vtx.
Back to the Inductrix.
This thing is small, and I do mean small.
Here is a comparison for size.
To the left is my ZMR-X210 and to the right is the inductrix.
Setting up the FPV cam combo was a breeze, bit of solder and 1 elastic band to secure the cam and you are good to go. Have since printed of a tiny light weight 3d mount for the cam which screws onto the main control board of the inductrix.
The RTF supplied radio does the job very well and does away with trying to use your All rounder Radio.
by pressing the right stick in you can change from high rates to low rates and by pressing in on the left stick you go into bind mode, should you need to. Both high and low rates are self level mode, Some say it has acro mode, if it does, I have not yet found it.
Flight times do vary depending on what lipo you use, my default lipo is a 150mAh 25C and lasts about 2.5 to 3 minutes, and yet my 150mAh 45C lasts about 4 minutes., and that is on the supplied default motors.
Be sure to buy more batteries, and loads of them, this little quad is so addictive. You can get 205mAh that work great from here, https://micro-motor-warehouse.com/collec...ipo-205mah, https://micro-motor-warehouse.com/collec...ipo-205mah
and while you are at it, grab some more powerful motors from the same place.
Overall I love this little quad, and for what it was designed for, a great little indoor quad, or outdoors with no wind.
It should come as no surprise that the overall cost gets quite high when you factor in purchase price, plus FPV cam combo, spare lipo's, new motors and new frames.
Yep, new frames, the plastic frame is not that strong and I have broken 2 already, one is still in service thanks to superglue.
Is it all worth it? Heck Yes.. So much fun in such a small package. By no means a substitute for a real quad but perfect for those rainy days when you are stuck indoors.
Here is a quick video on my second or third flight with this thing.
