Ideafly Mars – 350 RC quadcopter equipped with 2 axis brushless gimbal and advanced GPS system, gives you a more cost efficient aerial photography drone.
Everyone that is a bit expert about drones know that it is very important to have a good GPS system, as it allows more stable and accurate flights, to hover on a position, quite essential qualities for good photography.
This drone, thanks to GPS positioning, features on command or automatic return to home when it loses the trasmitter signal, so no more worries to lose the quadcopter.
It can also automatically fly around an object, making great 360 degrees videos. You can also tap a point in the map and the drone will automatically reach that point.
But this drone is also made for photography, so it features a 2 axis gimbal where you can mount your preferred action camera, like the Firefly 6S or the Gitup Git2, and take great stable shots. It also features a 6-axis gyro allowing stable flights and shots.
As you can see from the video below it has a very stable and smooth flight, perfect for aerial photography, and with a budget price of 280$.
Idea-Fly brings Mars to you, their next generation in easy-to-use GPS 350mm quad copters! The MARS quad-copter features an all-new high-power motor system with LONG run times and quick disconnect self-locking propellers. No tools required! The MARS battery compartment is large and fits batteries of 6000mAH capacity or more (3S, 11.1v) sold-separately.
The MARS is RTF and even includes a beautiful brushless camera gimbal for smooth video! Included is both a printed Quick-start guide as well as a complete, very detailed manual on disc (pdf) format. There’s NO guessing. Every detail and ‘how-to² is carefully explained to help ensure your success every time you fly!
This is an Idea-Fly Mars Next-Generation Quadcopter w/2.4GHz Radio, GPS System, 2-Axis Brushless Camera Gimbal and FPV Equipment. The Mars is Idea-Fly’s next-generation easy-to-use GPS-equipped 350mm quadcopter. The Mars features an all-new high-power motor system with quickdisconnecting self-locking propellers. This FPV version features Manual and GPS flight modes and a Return-to-Home function, and includes an MC6 2.4GHz 6-channel DSS transmitter, 2-axis brushless camera gimbal.
After familiarizing yourself with the basics of your new Mars series quadcopter, you’ll be ready to use the Mars’ high-tech functions, including the GPS Flight Mode and the Return-to-Home function, and programming your quadcopter for the best flight performance for the current flight conditions using the included Autopilot Configuration program.
The Mars series quadcopter uses a 3000-6400mAh 11.1v 3S LiPo battery. The greater the capacity (mAh), the longer the flight times, but the heavier the weight. We suggest using a battery with a discharge rate of 20C or greater. The battery dimensions should not exceed 5-1/4 (L) x 1-5/8 (W) x 1-1/2 (H).
When the LiPo battery voltage drops to the low voltage cutoff value during flight, the LED Condition Indicator will flash Red rapidly to indicate you must land immediately. For extra precaution, we suggest using a programmable LiPo Battery Voltage Alarm that can be mounted with the LiPo battery inside the quadcopter. You are able to program the alarm to sound at a higher cutoff voltage value to give you more time to safely land before the battery voltage drops too low and results in a crash.

People should know, that this company “IdeaFly” are complete worthless jerks who will NOT respond to any emails or website messages (their site form) you send them! I have written these asses numerous times and NEVER get any responses. I own TWO of their pieces of $hit, one of which is the far more expensive IFLY 4S and they could NOT CARE if there are problems or there is a need to buy parts. And that is another problem …. NO PARTS AVAILABILITY!! In the USA, HobbyPeople was their ONLY retail outlet in stores or online and they have gone out of business as of January 2017. There are NO PARTS on EBay, NO PARTS from ANY North American Distributor and NO SERVICE AVAILABLE! And as I said Idead-Fly (pun intended) DOES NOT REPLY TO YOUR EMAILS FOR HELP!!! I would NOT recommend that anyone buy from this WORTHLESS company! That is the Warning!!
