Unfortunately, there is no option to set GPS waypoints, but you can use the GPS to hold position, which I found was pretty accurate. It' s really nice that this quadcopter comes with a GPS. It has the possibility to charge a 1S up to 4S LiPo with 1A, 2A, or 3A of charge rate.
The battery and the battery bay is my favourite aspect of the quadcopter simply because it slides in without an issue and the battery does not move in flight. The battery slides into the quadcopter battery way very well and has no issues whatsoever.
The battery and the battery bay is my favourite aspect of the quadcopter. The battery included is a huge 5400mah 3s lipo. It has 7 channels and I didn't find an issue with it so far. The gimbals feel okay and the transmitter only needs 4 AA batteries which is a really nice feature. The transmitter is a very basic transmitter with no bells and whistles, but it does its job. The gimbal parameters, I believe, can be changed using a computer. Be sure to put a camera in the gimbal before plugging it in, or unplug the gimbal. The gimbal automatically calibrates every time the quadcopter gets plugged into the battery. The gimbal is a basic 2 axis gimbal and both its axes can be controlled via 2 servo ports, but since only one channel is available, only one axis can be controlled. I absolutely loved the fact that this quadcopter came with a gimbal at this price. The ESCs are all unmarked and they are inside the quadcopter body.

No specs were provided, but I looked around and found this information: The motors are unmarked 2212 motor that look similar to the DJI ones. The quad comes with mostly hex hardware and a few Phillips screws, and none of them have come out so far, so it was assembled well. The rear LEDs help with orientation, especially when flying at night, and the middle LED indicates the status of the quadcopter. The receiver, the controller board and the ESCs also come pre-plugged and is ready to go with a few calibrations for the compass. The motors, the ESCs, and the power distribution board come wired together out of the box. The quadcopter itself is quite nice with a good plastic body and LEDs for orientation and indication of status. Although it was slightly hard to get the quadcopter out of the foam, the foam helped protect the quad very well. The cardboard and foam together help prevent any damage caused by shipping. The quadcopter and the accessories were inside a block of foam which I believe was of good quality. The IdeaFly Mars 350 quadcopter came very well packaged in a while cardboard box.
To start, all you will need is 4 AA batteries for the transmitter.Ĥ x Propeller (Similar to DJI propellers)ġ x 11.1V 5400mAh 10C 3S Battery (with XT60 connector)ġ x CD with instructions and programming software. This package come with everything you need to fly including a transmitter, a huge battery, and a charger. The Ideafly Mars 350 is a quad directed towards beginner and intermediate flyers with features such as a 2 axis gimbal and a GPS.

I'm talking about it this week at the Astrobiology Science Conference. We recently had an article come out on referencing our PI's presentation at the LPSC meeting ( ). Dragonfly is a Titan lander designed to study prebiotic chemistry, investigate habitability, and search for biosignatures. I wanted to start a thread to discuss a mission proposal that's in the mix for the next NASA New Frontiers mission: Dragonfly.
