From their early experimental rotorcraft designs in the
1920’s to the modern nano and camera options, quadcopters have grown to be one
of the most desirable gadgets on the market.
Their relatively simple, yet highly manoeuvrable design, means that as
well as being popular with the consumer market, quadcopters have uses in the
field of research and in the military.
If you’ve ever owned one of these desirable gadgets you may
have been reluctant in the past to let your kids have a go, for fear that they
are too big and delicate for your children to control. Happily now, these rotorcraft can be enjoyed
by the whole family with the release of products such as the Hubsan Nano
Quadcopter. Whilst we are not saying young children should be let loose on
these gadgets, this nano quadcopter is the perfect present for older children
and beginners alike.
What makes the Hubsan
Nano Quadcopter great for kids?
- It features an ultra-small design – we think possibly the world’s smallest quadcopter (though if you know of an even smaller one please let us know)
- It has an integrated gyro for stable flying
- It can be flown both indoors and outdoors – making it a great gadget for a sunny or rainy day!
- It is relatively inexpensive - when compared to other quadcopters on the market
- Spare blades are included – perfect for any little flying mishaps!
Getting that
perfect Aerial Shot
If you, or your children want to get into aerial photography
then you might be interested to know that Hubsan also make the X4 H107CHD RTF Mini – possibly the world’s smallest camera quadcopter.
Camera quadcopters are readily available these days and give photography enthusiasts and gadget-lovers alike the chance to experience the world from the air.
If you want to become an aerial photographer here’s our top
tips to improve your skills:
- Practice flying your quadcopter indoors first – so you don’t damage anyone or anything when you get outside
- Have a few trial runs outside without using the camera, just so you can get used to flying your quadcopter and maintaining good balance
- Practice basic manoeuvres such as turning circles and figures of eight to ensure that when you need that perfect shot you’ve got the dexterity to catch it
- For obvious reasons, don’t fly your camera quadcopter on windy days!
Why Size Matters
When it comes to choosing a quadcopter – whether you just
want to fly or take images from above – size really does matter. Ultra-small varieties such as the Hubsan Nano
Quadcopters offer you a great opportunity to hone your skills indoors and
outdoors. They are inexpensive and the
perfect gift choice for children and beginners.
So, if you want to keep the kids quiet or give them that ‘wow-factor’
present on their next birthday, hopefully this blog has given you a good
starting point.
