![]() It’s not required to disassembly the entire quadcopter just to replace a dead motor. The Tarantula X6’s motors are equipped with a tiny connector that is a very helpful feature when you have to replace them. In the right of the LCD screen are two buttons, one to take photos and one for videos, but they will work only with the stock camera. With the top left button of the remote controller you can set the flight speed between 3 values: 40%, 60% and 100%. The transmitter is very small compared to the quadcopter’s size and looks a bit cheap. Unfortunately I haven’t had the occasion yet to test if is compatible with other Tx protocols and if can be used the X6 quad with Devo or Futaba transmitters. This record was achieved installing a higher capacity 2200mAh LI-PO battery, frankly is not bad for such an inexpensive quadcopter. All the LED lights have blue color excepting the ones that are under the back arms.Īccording to the specs, the Tarantula X6 has 8 minutes of light time with stock battery, but I have read it on the “RC Groups” forum about a successful 15 minutes of continuous flight. Be careful when you do this, I dropped acidentaly a screw inside and I had to remove all the screws and open the quadcopter to find it. Trust me it was a very boring process but you should never leave it inside, metal parts can produce ugly things like short circuits that will damage your receiver board.Īs I mentioned earlier, the design of the quadcopter tries to copy a spider and is available in two different colors blue and black. The tall landing skids allow to install a Mobius cam or a higher capacity battery underneath the battery door.įor better orientation, especially during night flights, the quad-copter is equipped with 7 LED lights, one under each arm, two on front of the cockpit that consolidates the spider look and one on top of the quad. I have received the camera-less version of the Tarantula X6 quadcopter that was offered by GearBest for a honest review.Īfter I opened the box I found that the package contains the X6 quad with preinstalled propellers, Li-Po battery and charger, 1 set of spare propellers, 2 landing skids, remote controller and other small accessories.īefore your first flight you must install and secure with screws the prop guards (including the LED caps) and the landing skids. Probably, in order to reduce the shipping costs, the new version of the Tarantula X6 gets a much smaller box.Īvailability of spare parts is a very important factor when I look for a new quad model as they must be inexpensive and easily possible to procure. Most often one of the engines can broke down and for this model it is easy to replace it as one set (2 CW and 2 CCW) costs only $10. The Tarantula X6 (aka JJRC H16) is probably the only multi-rotor platform that can carry such cameras with the price under $60. If for you it’s enough to get a decent video quality, you can purchase this quadcopter together with the 5MP camera available from the quad’s producer for extra $35. In case you want better video quality, I recommend to use it with only lightweight cameras because to much weight will rapidly kill your motors.įirst edition of the X6 quadcopter was released on a huge fancy box. Usually, big quadcopters that are able to lift Mobius or GoPro alike action cameras are very expensive. The engineers from JJRC tried to imitate the face of a spider in the design of the cockpit and I think they did it successfully. On hearing the word “Tarantula” my thoughts go immediately to a spooky hairy spider. I got this new quadcopter last Friday but only today I had the time and the proper mood to write about it and make my Tarantula X6 review. YiZhan Tarantula X6 – big toy for big boys ![]()
