Introducing the Blade 180 QX HD, the newest eye in the sky from Blade!
Not only have we taken the extremely popular mQX and completely changed its flying characteristics for the better by adding SAFE technology, we've added a 720p camera in the box that you can control from the transmitter!
The Blade 180 QX Features the EFC-720 camera from E-Flite. This camera comes out of the box with a 2GB SD card and is capable of shooting software enhanced 720p video or taking 1.3mp photos! We have been getting around 30 minutes of video or 15,000 photos with the included card. Of course, you can expand the camera to a 32GB card if you wish too!
This camera can be completely controlled by the RTF transmitter or your Spektrum transmitter. Stop and start video and even take photos right from the transmitter. Switch between modes by holding the trigger for 4 seconds and the camera will swap into video mode. Hold it for 4 seconds again and it will jump into photo mode. The next really nice feature about the camera is that it can be removed and placed on any other model you choose. Got an open receiver channel? Yep, you can control it on another platform! Oh did we mention it has a microphone too?
The flight characteristics are extremely improved due to SAFE technology. Flown the Nano QX? Yea, the 180 QX flys just as good. Flat pirouettes, crisp flight control and the dual stability mode is pretty nice too. High-Angle Stability and Low-Angle Stability give the pilot two self leveling modes to choose from. Less bank angle provides a smoother flight envelope for filming. If you have the desire for aerobatics, Agility mode is perfect for you guys out there that just want to do some fun quadcopter aerobatics.
If you've flown or owned the mQX, the 180 QX is truely a step up in overall performance and the parts transfer over! There are only 4 new parts for the 180 QX HD.
We expect to start shipping this December. Just in time for the holidays!
