5 most unique quadcopters of 2018

The smallest drone on the market is the Blade Pico QX BLH8200. This is an ultra microscopic quadcopter weighing only 10 grams, 92 mm wide and long.Its dimensions are no more than a matchbox, a kind of "pocket copter". This is the ideal device for training at home and in the office. Management is extremely simple, even a child can handle it. But even in case of difficulties, you can always look at the instructions.

On a full charge, the copter stays in the air for up to 7 minutes. You will not see any cameras, modern functions and special stages, except perhaps an accelerometer. It is understandable - all this increases the weight of the device and deprives the main feature of the Blade Pico QX BLH8200. So, given the compactness and affordable price, this is a good option for organizing “office races”.

The Walkera Furious 320 is the Bugatti Veyron of the quadcopter world. The device has the best indicator of maximum speed - 120 km / h. A real racing copter with a futuristic design. In the production of Furious 320, another important parameter was taken into account, without which it is impossible to cope with high speed - this is a convenient and responsive control. The quadcopter smoothly changes its flight speed and clearly responds to user commands. It is impossible not to note the presence of the GPS function, thanks to which the drone can hover in the air, hold points at the specified coordinates, and calculate the way home.

The disadvantages of the quadrocopter include a weak 2600 mAh battery, which holds a charge for only 10 minutes of flight. Also, we did not see support for Android and iOS in the device.

The Walkera X800 quadcopter stands out with the longest flight time among modern models. The device can hang in the air for almost 60 minutes! This is facilitated by an ultra-capacious 15000 mAh battery. In combination with an excellent camera and a broadcast radius of up to 1000 m, this drone can be used for professional shooting. A nice feature of the model is the support for many "special stages". The manufacturer produces various software and accessories designed to simplify and improve photo and video shooting. You can also carry your own DSLR and action camera on the quadcopter. It is a pity that the price of the device steps over the mark of 100,000 rubles.

The second version of the fancy professional DJI Inspire quadcopter. This drone is endowed with a very cool camera that allows you to record video in 5.2K format in CinemaDNG RAW. The camera is built into the body of the device and is equipped with a modern matrix of 20.8 megapixels. High-quality images can be obtained at a distance of up to 3.5 km. So the inspire 2 can safely be called a "photocopter". The dual battery system can keep a 3kg quadcopter in the air for up to 27 minutes. And the maximum speed of the device is 108 km / h. The autopilot function allows you to fly around obstacles in two directions. This is the best drone for high-quality and fast photo and video shooting.

The absolute champion in lifting heavy loads is the DJI Agras MG-1 octocopter.On its "shoulders" the copter can carry almost 16 kg of various cargo! At the same time, the hovering time in the air, on a full charge, is 24 minutes. The scope of such giants is the processing of farmland (watering, spraying). Agras MG-1 is also called an agricultural copter. The device weighs almost 9 kg and costs about 1,000,000 rubles. So, this is also the most expensive copter in our review.
