SkyRC Sokar racer quad with 5.8Ghz real-time image transmission
Unlike other racing quadcopters, this SkyRC Sokar has a nice friendly design thanks to the racing car shape cockpit.
Unfortunately, the on-board camera has a very low resolution so we can’t expect some great aerials. Anyway, racing quadcopters are designed for other kind of fun. The FPV flying mode with a high speed racer will certainly increase anyone’s adrenaline level. The 25 mW 5.8Ghz real-image transmission module allows about 200-300 meters range but, with a good antenna, this can be increased up to 500 meters.
On each side of the camera there is a bright LED light which is not just cool but also allows to practice and fly in dark conditions.
The 3s 2000 mAh Li-Po battery allows about 10 minutes of flight time, which is great but not impressive. Lately, in order to gain more power and speed, most of the racing quads are powered with 4s Li-Po batteries.
I was surprised to see a ON/OFF button on this SkyRC Sokar because it is unusual for racing quadcopters with high current consumption to have one.
