NEWS: WLtoys Q696A, a 5.8G video plateform with 2-axis gimbal

[Drone News]

Lest active last months, but WLtoys is not dead. At least they try to deliver some orignal new design. The WLtoys Q696 is announced (in three version). The A is the 5.8G FPV version: http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_617223.html
Here we have a brushed video plateform with 2-axis (brushed) gimbal + a 1280x1080p@30fps camera. The camera is also broadacasting the FPV signal in the 5.8G band for the Q696A. The autonomy is announced to be around 13min thanks to the large capacity but proprietary 2600mAh 2S LIpo. The last WLtoys have now a super precize Altitulde hold despite the absence of GPS. A great plus to shoot stablized and smooth videos. The control range is announced to be around 150m maximum. For the 2-axis gimbal, I don’t expect miracle with…. in general all gimbal with brushed motors don’t offer smooth stabilization (cf aosenma CG035 for example)

Main Features:
– With the 2-axis gimbal, the 5MP camera can be used for taking smooth 1280 x 1080P videos and 1600 x 1200P photos
– 5.8G FPV camera allows you to see the real-time image on the 4.3 inch large screen of the FPV monitor
– 2.4GHz 4CH dual-way transmitter enables you to know the real-time voltage, speed, height and flight duration
– Air Press Altitude Hold. The UAV can maintain a certain height above the ground thanks to the high-precision barometer
– Headless Mode allows beginners to ignore the front of the drone, and move the joysticks in order to pilot it to wherever they want
– Simplification of control. One Key Return makes it extremely easy to recall the quadcopter, while 3D Rotation is for aerobatics
– Plug-in 7.4V 2600mAh 20C LiPo battery for up to 13 minutes’ high-speed flying
