Title: AuroraRC QAV105 Micro Quad review - I think the best micro so far !
Post by: CurryKitten on October 07, 2017, 05:31:07 PM
Yes, I must admit to really liking this quad.  I liked the fact before I got it that it had a RunCam Micro Swift already installed, and I loved the fact it looked like a 220 sized quad that had been perfectly scaled down.

Also I was over-joyed to report that nothing broke, and so I didn't spend days experiencing and then fixing issue after issue.  Flies great, looks great.  Here's my video review

On the downside, it's pricey - quite a bit more than the current crop of micros at the moment, but hopefully that'll drop.  People who like a perfectly clear view out of their quad are not going to like the stand-offs in sight (or the props).  The picture break-up is a minor issue, which I should be able to easily resolve with better anteanna placement.  But I'll be doing some follow up flights to sort that.

Disclaimer: This was sent to me free of charge (aside from the sodding customs charges) from Banggood for review - but my opinions are my own.

I really like the scaled down look, the proper camera being supplied as standard, now add the vtx channel and band switching features of the AKK X2 Vtx and it would have been probably the best micro quad out to date,

Given that the VTX was integrated onto the flight controller, you wouldn't think that's much of a stretch... especially given using Smart audio myself for the first time the other day, I'm like "why do I ever want to press a button"  Can't be far off can it - the rapid development of the micro's has been pretty amazing.
