AxisFlying AirForce PRO-X8: Powerful 2.5″ CineWhoop

AxisFlying just released their first drone, an 8 motor CineWhoop. The AirForce PRO-X8 looks like two drones glued one to each other. This approach provides impressive lifting power for a 2.5″ drone, but it has a weight too. Without a battery weighs more than 250 grams. The specs are nothing mention about some kind of fail-safe redundancy, I mean what happens if one rotor fails.

AirForce PRO-X8 was announced with two FPV options. While the analog edition comes equipped with a RunCam Nano2 camera and 600mW 5.8G VTX, the digital with Caddx Vista Nebula kit. Both variants can be additionally equipped with a GoPro camera.

AxisFlying stands that the eight AF144-4510KV brushless motors can provide a similar flight experience to a full-size 5-inch FPV drone.

Powered with a 4S 1000mAh battery you can expect about 4-5 minutes of flight time and 2-4 minutes with a GoPro on top.
