DJI might be the household name when it comes to camera drones, but that doesn’t mean other brands cannot compete. Instead of directly matching the features, some are opting for unique features. If you want to get a feel for quadcopter flight and practice, start with an entry-level model. The Curve Micro 16 might be small, but it’s not lacking in features.
It measures roughly 101.5 mm x 30 mm x 14.5 mm, and weighs approximately 1.7 ounces. Despite the diminutive physical footprint, one-piece injection molding ensures the frame can withstand impacts or maybe the occasional crash. Of course, once you get the hang of the controls, the latter is not likely to happen in the future.
CaddxFPV outfits this tiny whoop with an AXO 1S AIO flight controller in addition to the high-precision ICM gyro. In the hands of a seasoned pilot, this bad boy can reliably perform just as nimbly as any FPV drone. Spinning the propellers of your Curve Micro 16 are four 1102 24000KV brushless motors.
These “deliver punchy power and crisp throttle response for fast climbs and freestyle maneuvers,” writes the manufacturer. The SKU is somewhat future-proof courtesy of the interchangeable system. Currently, it supports the Ascent Lite+, Avatar 1S, Ascent Lite, and some third-party VTX modules as well.
Depending on what’s mounted, the camera can record HD videos up to 1080p at 120 frames per second. Frame beautiful shots with the 147-degree ultra-wide field of view. Plus, a built-in microphone transmits audio alongside the video feed in real-time. The Curve Micro 16 is compatible with the Ascent VRX and Ascent VRX Pro FPV goggles.
