AstroX Switch

I have Aliens and Chameleons so I wanted a change of pace. I wanted something that you could mount the battery on top or bottom, be lightweight, and race or freestyle with it. I guess you could say I wanted it to be able to do a little bit of everything. After flying and tuning it, I think I hit the mark pretty well.

Have u noticed an increase in durability with lighter builds that have less inertia when hitting the dirt or branches? Also how is the reliability of this kamikaze board

M Dec 04, 2017

I would say yes. I have crashed plenty with no damage to this quad. As far as the Kamikaze goes, it caught fire. However, I sent it back and was given a replacement free of charge. I chose to keep it as a spare and am I currently using the Lumenier AIO Alpha. I am very pleased with the Alpha and have had 0 issues with it.

is it as good as the chameleon

M Sep 30, 2017

After flying all day today I can say I prefer it over the Cameleon. I was concerned about durability but I crashed today without a problem. I flew with a GoPro and an underslung battery. It feels extremely balanced and it's not as heavy as the Chameleon. This is my go to freestyler as of now.

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
