XProHeli XP2 Lite Quadcopter with GPS (RTF)
Key Features
  • Designed for Aerial Video & Photography
  • Integrated Mount for Lightweight Cameras
  • Aluminum Frame and Protected Electronics
  • Payload Capacity of 14 Ounces
Add an aerial element to your videos with the ready-to-fly (RTF) XP2 Lite Quadcopter with GPS from XProHeli. This quadcopter is notable for an aluminum frame that - unlike plastic or composites - can in many cases be bent back into shape if damaged. Featuring a payload capacity of 14, ounces the XP2 Lite is suitable for a compact camera such as the GoPro HERO4 along with a gimbal (both available separately). Although a gimbal is ideal with maximum stability is called for, it is possible mount a camera using a 1/4" mounting system (such as the GoPro Quick Release Buckle) directly to an included cross beam that sits between the landing struts.

XProHeli XP2 Overview

Add an aerial element to your videos with the ready-to-fly (RTF) XP2 Lite Quadcopter with GPS from XProHeli. This quadcopter is notable for an aluminum frame that - unlike plastic or composites - can in many cases be bent back into shape if damaged. Featuring a payload capacity of 14, ounces the XP2 Lite is suitable for a compact camera such as the GoPro HERO4 along with a gimbal (both available separately). Although a gimbal is ideal with maximum stability is called for, it is possible mount a camera using a 1/4" mounting system (such as the GoPro Quick Release Buckle) directly to an included cross beam that sits between the landing struts.

At the heart of the XP2 is the DJI Naza-M flight controller. This mini computer taps data from the included GPS unit, gyros, and other sensors to enable varying degrees of autopilot redundancy - depending on skill level and application. In addition, it enables auto return to home in the event contact with the transmitter is lost, or at the press of a "panic" button assigned on a transmitter. It also makes IOC (Intelligent Orientation Control) possible, which keeps the stick movements intuitive even if the quadcopter's nose and tail get flipped around.

This is a ready-to-fly (RTF) bundle, which means no major assembly is required and that a pre-bound and pre-programmed Spektrum DX6i transmitter is included. In addition to the transmitter, in the box you will also find the Camera Tray Cross Mount, two 6150mAh 3S LiPo flight batteries, a 6 amp battery charger, a battery tester, four spare props (for a total of eight), and a prop wrench. As with any multi-rotor, it is crucial to read the manual and follow all pre-flight calibration sets before taking to the skies. A mis-calibrated navigation system can lead to unstable flights and cause the aircraft to fly off course.

Aluminum Frame
Aluminum was chosen as the construction material rather than composites because of it's strength-to-weight ratio, ability to bend corners, and ability to hold threaded pins. It is also more reparable than plastic as often you can simply bend a part back into shape - with broken plastic often there's not much that can be done

The main body has been designed with an open compartment to mount the internal electronics: gyro, receiver, and speed controllers. This internal compartment helps protect the quadcopter's sensitive electronics from damage in the event of a crash
Bi-Deck Vibration Dampening System
The bi-deck floating frame design with rubber dampers sandwiched between helps isolate a mounted camera from the worst of rotor-incurred vibration. Reduced vibration is especially essential when shooting with CMOS-based HD cameras because of the "rolling shutter" effect
Naza-M Flight Control System
The XP2 Lite features the DJI Naza-M flight control system, and has GPS to enable a number of assisted flying features
    Manual and Altitude Stable Flight Modes
    There are two programmed flight modes: Manual, which is ideal shooting video, and Altitude Stable Mode, which is self-stabilizing with barometric altitude hold
    Return to Home Failsafe
    If the Quadcopter loses the signal from the controller for any reason the "return to home" feature will initialize. The aircraft will ascend to 60 feet then make a straight-line course back to the "home position" you will have defined during the GPS calibration process. Once there, it will safely descend to the ground and power itself off
    Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC)
    IOC is designed to help make flying more intuitive. Nominally, the yaw control will allow the Quadcopter to rotate continuously, which can quickly become confusing if you lose track of which way is "front". Suddenly your controls can get mixed up, where pressing right causes the craft to move left and pressing forward causes it move backward. Intelligent Orientation Control prevents this from happening, keeping the "tail" of the Quadcopter pointed roughly toward the pilot at all times
    Performance
    Brushless Motors with APC 12" Props
    The included LD Power 2216 / 800kV motors enable the XP2 Lite to fly a payload such as GoPro HERO4 with a gimbal or other small camera up to 14 ounces. In addition, you can upgrade to the separately available 2221 Cobra motors to carry payloads weighing up to 1.8 pounds
    6150mAh 11.1V 30C LiPo Batteries
    The standard 6150mAh 3S LiPo battery - two of which are included - enables the quadcopter to fly anywhere from 13 to 16 minutes, depending on payload and how you fly. A balancing charger is included and is estimated to take less than two hours to charger when set to 5 amps
