Walkera F150: Cool racing FPV drone

It seems that lately, Walkera has focused exclusively on racing quadcopters. The Rodeo F150 will be their third model in 2016.

I have made a good impression of Walkera products after I reviewed their popular Runner 250 Advanced, which was probably the first racing quad with GPS.

As you can see in the images below, the Walkera F150 has approximately the same cool design as its predecessor (the F210).

The F150 Rodeo quadcopter, being very small (150mm), is powered by a 2s battery instead of a much more powerful 4s one. I’m curious how this will affect fact flight agility.

Mated with the Devo 7 transmitter, the flight range of this mini racing quadcopter is about 800 meters in the open field.

Thanks to the 600TVL camera and the 40Ch 5.8G real-time image transmission module, this Walkera Rodeo F150 can be paired with almost any FPV screen or FPV goggles. Certainly, adrenaline junkies will appreciate the fun of flying this quad in FPV mode.
