I'm considering doing FPV flying on my V912. I found a camera/transmitter combo weighing 3-4 oz. Can this heli handle it? If not, what's the max?

Hi, I made a test and it could fly with 5 Oz. It just lose some agility and can't go as high. You must be careful about the weight balance, it makes more difficult to calibrate the trimmers.

I just got one of these for a 109 heli and it will not fit into the original battery compartment. Considered getting a 107 but decided to give it a shot. Soldered it in, zip tied it and it works great. The original battery was dying (the heli would get about 3 ft off the ground then start descending as the battery was giving out. This gives me full flight times again. See my review for full details.

The weight listed is accurate. It will not fly on the SYMA Quadcopter they sell here but if you take it out of the case which I did then it is light enough. Weighs maybe 5 to 6 ounces. Very good sturdy camera. Dropped multiple times, taken apart, etc. I killed it this weekend when it fell in a pool. Not waterproof. Ordering the Polaroid one.

Not good. It is small light and fragile. Parts on the Blade are cheap and brittle so they brake easy. If you want a 4ch. helicopter in this class I would recommend a v912 by WLToys. Stay away from the Blade helis, they suck.

I have both of these Helis. The 107G is not radio controlled. It is infra red. This means the control has to be pointed at the Heli. This may add to an already challenging undertaking for one so young. Being smaller the 107 is more susceptible to air flow from AC vents Etc. The S032 is pretty tough.

It will be a challenge. If you think you are a good 4 ch flyer and can step up to CP no problem, you are in for a treat. It is tough, and it feels like you are learning all over.That said, this is a good flying heli. And it is hard to find a less expensive rtf 450 size. The flybarless system and 6 channel makes it fairly stable.First thing to do if you get this one is turn down the elev/ail EXT pot on the receiver. There is no stick banging allowed like you can with a 4 ch.

The product description has been changed; now it says the camera weighs 0.3 ounces (about 10 g)! As others have pointed out, the actual weight is closer to 1.4 ounces (39g), making it too heavy for my WLToys V959 quadcopter. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about Amazon's error until after buying the camera. Grrr...

yes, but I would do it with a Fusuno canopy, as opposed to stock. also, make sure the camera is properly, copiously shock- proofed with servo tape, to prevent 'the shakes'. I owned 3 300X helis, & while it CAN be a camera mount, personally? I wouldn't recommend it. the 300X is inherently unstable & prone to crashing because of the stock setup of the AR7200 -- I would use a bigger heli for any camera operations, period. the 300X is nice heli when it's tweaked 'just so' -- but putting a camera on it without that perfect setup would be comparable to driving your car blindfolded.. not a hater here -- I'm experience with this, & no joke -- don't risk it man, unless you have the loot & frustrations in the after crash to handle it ~ CWO5 Wolf/ USMC/ Airwing 714

To answer your question,is no,you need to use the transmitter it came with,or buy the right transmitter,there pretty cheep,there like 10 bucks,to bind with controler,put a fully changed battery in the heli,then turn the heli on,then turn the controler on,in that order,it will take up to 8 min for it to bind with the heli,only higher end models you can use any controler,i have like 4 2.4 gig controlers,none will work,so yess get the one like it comes with,johnny

No. The V922 uses the "HT8 Module", the 4 channel helis are a different language (I've read the Turnigy module works with them). In other words... My WLToys V912 Heli will not bind to my WLToys V922 RTF transmitter.

This camera is intended to be used with a certain brand of heli. I couldn't get it to work - so I moved on to a different camera.

Should be similar to the v911, a little better though - flybarless is definitely better than flybarred. I say go for it, especially now the price is low! Just take your time learning it. I also recommend getting a Spektrum DX6i transmitter if you don't already. It's a great first "real" transmitter and works out of the box with all the Blade helicopters. You'll fly better than with the plastic included one, and it'll be all you need all the way up to large helis.

I have actually not uploaded any footage yet on MAC or PC. I think it should work though. However this heli is extremely hard to fly and no one I know has been able to keep it airborne for more than a minute. Other helis I've purchased are much easier to use.

That will be way too heavy, quad itself is less than 3 oz. I fly mine with a 808 keychain cam and that works great.

From my experience not very far at all, a few hundred feet if you're lucky. If u want live video look into fpv setups with the phantom 5.8 ghz tx model

You can fly this over just about anything as long as you stay in range of the controller. Water would most definitely damage it though, and I don't think the motor is strong enough to carry cargo. Its a good beginners copter, fast and quick response, about 12 inches long.

I bought this camera for the sole purpose of FPV. I loved it. The only reason I don't still love it is I had a transmitter problem and my quad flew away.
