Today we’re looking at three fun quadcopters from Arcade Orbit! They’re a blast to fly and easy to control thanks to their gyro stabilisers, but their low price means that it’s not the end of the world if they end up on a neighbor’s roof. With simple remote controls and built-in video cameras on two of the three models, there’s plenty of fun to be had. Let’s take a look at each model!
First up we have the Arcade Orbit 6-Axis Quadcopter. This entry-level model provides everything you need to get flying, including an easy-to-use remote control and a quadcopter with safer enclosed rotors and gyro stabilisers. The quadcopter also comes with fun LEDs, letting you light up a dark room or use the quadcopter after the sun sets. The quadcopter has an operational range of about 80 metres (260 feet), so you’ll be able to use it inside or outside without fear of losing control. If you want to get a quadcopter but don’t want to spend a lot, then this is a great choice.
Of course, if you spend a little more then you’ll get a more capable drone. The Arcade Orbit Cam comes with a lighter frame and a built-in camera, letting you record 480p aerial footage to play back later. This upgraded model also comes with a longer range, around 100 metres (330 feet), so you can use it in larger indoor areas or outside. It’s a lot of fun to fly around, and it’s a good mid-range model if you want to experiment with video recording.
At the top end of the Arcade Orbit range we have the Orbit Cam XL. This serious-looking quadcopter is larger and sports more powerful engines, allowing it to tear around with reckless abandon. The 100 metre control range remains the same as the mid-range Orbit Cam, while the larger 580mAh rechargeable battery lets it work for about as long. For only a tenner more, it seems a sensible upgrade that’s still quite inexpensive for a quadcopter!
No matter which drone you choose, you’ll be in for a lot of fun. Check the link below to see our full range of quadcopters, and let us know what you think in the comments below!
