With the rapid development of the domestic film and television drama market and the surrounding industries in recent years, the related derivative products linked to film and television dramas have also become extremely popular with the small fresh meat economy. The main character of our evaluation today, the flying leopard psychological crime squid drone, is a product derived from the detective artifact in the movie Psychological Crime starring Li Yifeng, This UAV is different from many traditional four axis aircrafts. It adopts a cute shape to restore the shape of "squid" in the film to the maximum extent.

Packaging and accessories

In terms of packaging, the machine adopts a black packing box design, with the product appearance of "squid" printed on the front and the propaganda picture of psychological crime film on the side, which represents that it is an authentic film derivative product with official authorization.

After opening the package and taking out two layers of protective foam, you can see the real body of the cuttlefish intelligent aircraft. Isn't it cute? Yes, this little cuttlefish is a mini intelligent aircraft from Flying Leopard.

In terms of structure, it adopts the design of a common four axis aircraft, but in order to restore the settings in the movie, the fuselage adopts a very cartoon setting. Several huge eyes, plus the camera and power switch, look from afar like cartoon cuttlefish. In order to restore the image of "cuttlefish", Six curved legs similar to squid tentacles were specially designed.

Is it more cute from another angle? In this angle, it seems less like a squid and more like a cute little bee? In short, whether it is a cuttlefish or a bee, this shape is cute enough, especially for teenagers. Our common traditional four axis aircraft usually adopts a more mechanical appearance design to highlight the mechanical performance. However, as a product for 12 years old+young people, the squid intelligent aircraft is more interested in science and technology than absolute flying ability, so it is not surprising that it has a lovely shape.

In terms of accessories, one fan blade A and one fan blade B are attached to the factory to replace the damaged fan blade due to collision. However, in the upper part of the fan blade, there is a flexible protective cover design for protection, so there is little chance of fan blade damage.

In addition to the spare fan blade, the accessory also comes with a special battery charger. Its built-in lithium battery uses a three pin charging interface. Because the interface is special, the charging cable needs to be properly stored. There is a hidden indicator light on the USB interface. When charging, the red light will be on to remind the user. When the red light is off, it will be fully charged.

In terms of the material and details of the fuselage, the main body is made of white plastic, most parts are polished and polished, and the main parts are fixed by screws, all of which are conventional cross screws, which are easy to remove.

The fuselage is printed with large words of "psychological crime" and the logo of Flying Leopard. The "big eyes" on the side of the fuselage are mainly for decoration. After starting up, a circle of colored translucent decorative strips will light up with the light, while the honeycomb texture in the middle is only for decoration.

The wing design is somewhat different from that of some four axle aircraft. The propeller is located below the wing, while the wing of most four axle aircraft is located above. This design may be to better protect the propeller from damage and prevent the ceiling from being hit due to misoperation during indoor use.

In terms of camera, its main camera can provide 720P video and picture shooting, and the shooting effect is average, but after all, it is just a toy UAV born for teenagers, rather than a product whose price is high and its main technology and shooting ability are also better than nothing.

The six supports at the bottom of the fuselage are pasted with rubber cushion at the bottom, and the support itself has certain elasticity.

There is a camera at the bottom for visual positioning, which is generated for obstacle avoidance and automatic takeoff and landing. The middle part is the battery compartment, which can be taken out after opening.

The battery is simple and rough, and is directly connected with cables. This is a 530mAh lithium battery with a voltage of 7.4V, which can provide 6-8 minutes of endurance. When charging, the battery needs to be taken out of the cabin, and it will grow up to about 1 hour.

After the battery is removed, some structures inside the body can be observed through the heat dissipation net cover inside the battery compartment. There are multiple circuit boards and wires inside.

In terms of fan blade layout, the standard four axis aircraft layout is adopted. The four rotors are symmetrically distributed on the top of the fuselage in the center. The rocker arm bracket is relatively thick and the use strength is relatively high.

The logo of Feibao brand is printed in the center of the rocker arm bracket.

The drive motor is hidden in the rocker arm. There are openings on the front and back of the rocker arm to assist in heat dissipation. The metal shell of the motor inside the rocker arm can be seen through the heat dissipation holes on the rocker arm.

More cooling holes are distributed below the rocker arm. The installation method of the fan blade is relatively simple, which is fixed by metal screws. The standard cross screws are convenient for disassembly.

The plastic protective ring at the top has good elasticity and large deformation range. The soft material can protect the fan without damaging the fan blade. The fan blade is also made of plastic material with relatively strong rigidity, and the root has a bold design to strengthen the strength.

Use experience and flight performance

In terms of use experience, the cuttlefish, as a lightweight UAV for teenagers, naturally cannot fly like a large UAV, but as a lightweight UAV, its performance is OK. The plastic fuselage brings a lightweight fuselage and flexible maneuverability, which can easily avoid obstacles. However, due to the light weight of the fuselage, when facing windy weather, the flight is not very smooth, and is greatly affected by the wind.

The control mode of using mobile phones for control is very simple and easy to understand. After reading the manual, there is almost no difficulty in getting started. After successful connection and calibration, takeoff and landing are all one button takeoff and landing, with no operational difficulty. After one button takeoff, the cuttlefish and takeoff hover at 1.5M altitude, and then other operations can be carried out. The flight speed can be adjusted on the right side of the control interface, with three gears of 30%, 60% and 100%.

Flying attitude of squid intelligent aircraft

Landing attitude of squid intelligent aircraft

In the default layout, the left hand is the accelerator to control the ascent, descent and left and right rotation, and the right hand is the direction joystick to control the forward, backward and left and right flight paths of the UAV. As it is controlled through the touch screen, do not make excessive actions during operation. In addition to the normal control flight, there is also an interesting control mode, namely gravity sensing control. The mobile phone can control the squid as long as it tilts back and forth, left and right. However, the actual use experience is general, and gravity sensing control mode is not recommended.

In terms of image, the UAV supports 720P picture or video shooting, and automatic panoramic shooting. However, because its camera is integrated with the body rather than a cloud desktop design, the shaking is a bit large, and the shooting effect is average. However, for the model for teenagers, it can basically meet the requirements.

summary

As a derivative product of the film Psychological Crime produced by Flying Leopard, the cuttlefish intelligent aircraft is still in place for the restoration of the "mystery device" in the film and television series. The bionic appearance design imitates the cuttlefish, which is full of cartoon and mysterious at the same time. As a toy for teenagers aged 12 and above, Flying Leopard is more diligent in this product. It adopts the standard four axis aircraft layout and has a small body with high flexibility. However, there are both advantages and disadvantages. Because the fuselage is very light, its stability is somewhat poor in windy weather. In addition, the machine uses the remote control mode of direct connection of mobile phones, which is very intuitive to operate and can fully arouse the interest of teenagers in UAVs. However, this mode also has certain limitations, such as the remote control range is somewhat small, but this is also a common problem of all products using mobile phone remote control.

In general, the cuttlefish intelligent aircraft is relatively successful. As a lightweight UAV product focusing on the youth market, it did not choose to take the scientific and technological route to face the competition with many brands, but took the idol drama as the breakthrough point to seize the idol market with strong consumption capacity, We hope that Feibao will continue to work hard to bring more excellent UAV products.
