Protos HD 2S F4 12A: Budget-friendly drone comes with FPV goggles
The Protos HD 2S F4 12A is a new FPV drone that’s now available via import. This drone is particularly suitable for activities that require continuous control, such as racing. While recording videos is also possible, it’s arguably not the primary use case for this kind of drone.
With that out of the way, the Protos HD 2S F4 12A is currently on sale for $345 excluding shipping or possible import fees. Delivery might take a few weeks, and warranty claims might be difficult to enforce considering that Chinese marketplace vendors rarely provide decent customer service.
FPV goggles promise better control and immersion
Image content can be transferred to the included FVP goggles over a distance of over 1.8 miles with an average latency of 35ms. The headset has a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, and it supports SD cards with a capacity of up to 256GB.
Propeller guard and various modes
The drone itself is equipped with a 1/2.8-inch sensor, weighs approximately 105 grams and has a flight time of about 8.5 minutes. It has a maximum speed of 10 meters per second. Meanwhile, the four propellers are protected by plastic guards, so the drone might survive a collision unharmed in some cases. Lastly, various operating and control modes are available, which should make the drone easy to fly even for beginners.
