Honestly, about the “Drocon” brand I heard for the first time one week ago. Besides the Bugs 6, they have couple of other nice drones. The following weeks I want to introduce you the most exciting ones in our news section.
At first look, the DROCON Bugs 6 quadcopter is an intermediate step for those who want to migrate from toy drones to professional racing drones. Bugs 6 is a 250 mm sized brush-less quadcopter with the possibility to welcome a combo FPV camera (VTX + DVR). The C5830 5.8G HD 720P camera can be additionally purchased for $40.
Although it’s fully made from nylon plastic instead of carbon fiber, at least the arm’s structure seems pretty strong and should resist pretty well to smaller crashes. All the electronic parts (GR303B flight controller and 4in1 ESC) are well protected by a nice plastic canopy.
Over night flights you will be guided by two powerful frontal headlights. They are also helpful during LOS flights in strong day light.
Under the belly of the aircraft is located the battery bay. Being quite large (40 x 22 mm), it should not be a problem to find compatible spare batteries.
