The DF-Models.com "Drive-Fly" 9300 SkyWatcher Pocket Racer Camera Drone with Controller and WIFI via VS FPV App

This not an ad, just our report about a pocket-size camera mini-drone of the new generation.

At Mueller.de in Germany for a reduced price of €69.99 we just acquired the DF-Models.com "Drive-Fly" 9300 SkyWatcher Pocket Racer Camera Drone with Controller (+ WIFI smartphone control via the VS FPV Android app (Google Play)).

See https://shop.mueller.de/spielwaren/alle-kategorien/verkehr-action/drive-fly-skywatcher-pocket-racer-wifi-rtf-fpv-2159710

The SkyWatcher Pocket Racer quadrocopter can be ordered online but must be picked up at a Mueller.de general market store of choice (toy department). For us, it was a shopping deal for obtaining at a bargain price one of the new generation of camera "mini-drones".

For comparison, the SkyWatcher Pocket Racer is listed by a shop in Amazon.de at a price of ca. €108 (plus free delivery).

Here are the specs via online material in the original German as well as our edited version of the Google translation:

Thus far, in our opinion, this beats the competition as regards quality and price. However, we make no statements or guarantees about drone performance or suitability to purpose.

Caveat emptor. Buyer beware.

After all, this is a toy.... but nevertheless potentially dangerous, especially to children (and adults!) of all ages, due to freely open, otherwise unprotected fast-spinning rotor blades as well as the use of lithium batteries. You have to read the manual (!), follow its instructions and know what you are doing!!
