Blade Chroma

 

Horizon Hobby continues to fly higher in the field of Drones and Quadcopters with regular new models. Now, the international developer and distributor are introducing another series of aircrafts under its Blade brand: the Blade Chroma Series. Equipped with impressive specs and two kinds of cameras (4k or 1080p) for videos and images, the Blade Chroma looks to be a worthy opponent of other famous brands. See all Blade Chroma information and pictures below:

The Blade Chroma promises to be a game-changing aircraft. Horizon and Blade offer all in one Drone. The Chroma’s Li-Po battery can give to the Pilot a flight time around 30 minutes, on a single charge, making it the longest flying drone to date. This extended battery power gives the Pilot plenty of time to take advantage of the camera.

The CGO3 or CG02 are the Chroma centerpiece. These units combine a high definition camera and three-axis brushless stabilization gimbal, allowing to the Pilot capturing steady 4K or 1080p videos. These videos can be streamed to the ST10+ transmitter in real time, in addition to multiple IOS and Android devices with the free CGO app (these devices will require 802.11N Wi-Fi connectivity). The Pilot can also use the camera to shoot 16MP photos from the sky with sharp detail. The CGO3’s resolution and frame rate is adjustable and the camera features a no-distortion lens, which removes the fisheye effect, all these camera controls easily accessible on the included ST-10+ radio.

Blade Chroma Drone and Case (optional):

Blade Chroma Dimensions (Measurements):

The RTF version of the Blade Chroma includes the Blade ST-10+ transmitter (manufactured by Yuneec) and different kinds of Camera and Gimbal types.

It has everything the Pilot needs, including the camera controls and a touch-screen video display. See below: 

  • Large, 5,5 inch (140 mm) touch-screen display with intuitive Android interface;

  • Displays live video and real-time telemetry info like speed, altitude and battery voltage;

  • Clearly marked switches and buttons;

  • Super-simple flight and camera controls;

  • Slider switch for adjusting camera tilt;

  • Slider switch for adjusting drone speed.

 

SAFE Plus technology gives to the Pilot several flight modes that have been programmed to make smooth and steady images or videos.

All flight modes feature self-leveling and use GPS and altitude sensors to precisely hold position. SAFE Plus technology will even land the aircraft for the Pilot if he/she activates the Return Home function.

Flight Mode Features:

A) Smart Mode - Perfect for beginners: Stick Relativity moves drone in whatever direction the control stick is pushed, no matter which way the nose is pointed. It creates a safe circle barrier that prevents the aircraft from flying too close to the Pilot. The Blade Chroma auto-holds it position and altitude when control sticks are released.

B) AP Mode - For more experienced drone pilots: Responds like a conventional drone without Stick Relativity. It gives to the Pilot greater control authority by turning off the safe circle. Keeps control response smooth so panning and tracking shots look great. It auto holds position and altitude when control sticks are released.

C) Follow Me Mode – Works as a built-in copilot: Frees the Pilot to focus on lining up the shot. Pan and tilt the camera while the drone follows the Pilot. Drone follows at an altitude and distance the Pilot sets.

D) Tracking Mode: The Blade Chroma follows and keeps the camera pointed at whoever holds the ST-10+ controller. The Drone follows at an altitude and distance the Pilot sets.

E) Return Home Mode: Returns the Blade Chroma to its start-up point and lands it for the Pilot. It’s great for first-time flyers who aren’t ready to land themselves. It’s also an easy way to regain visual contact if the Pilot loses sight in flight. Resume full control at any time. It is activated automatically if controller signal is lost.

F) Flight Boundaries Mode: Keeps the Blade Chroma within altitude and distance limits the Pilot defines. It’s easily adjustable using the Chroma programmer. Helps the Pilot avoid sensitive airspace and neighbors.

 

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Battery: 11.1V 3S 5400mAh Li-Po (6300mah also available);

  • Completion Level: Ready-to-Fly;

  • Weight: 1.3 Kg (45.9 oz);

  • Main Motor Type: Brushless Outrunner;

  • Approximate Flight Time: 30 minutes.

Follow Me Mode: The Drone follows the Pilot at a distance and altitude he/she set. So, the Pilot can focus on lining up the perfect shot using the rudder and camera tilt controls. The system acts as a Built-in Copilot. QuadsForFun
Tracking Mode:The Drone will follow and keep the camera pointed at whoever is holding the ST10+ Transmitter. This is an easy and great way to capture the Pilot shots in action when no one else is around to fly for the Pilot. QuadsForFun

Return Home: The Drone returns itself to the start-up point and lands for the Pilot. This is ideal for first-time flyers who aren’t quite ready to land themselves. It’s also an easy way to regain visual contact, QuadsForFun

Return Home:

The Drone returns itself to the start-up point and lands for the Pilot. This is ideal for first-time flyers who aren’t quite ready to land themselves. It’s also an easy way to regain visual contact if the pilot accidentally lose sight in flight. It’s a safe landing with the flip of switch.

 

Adjustable Flight Boundaries:

Fly responsible. Never fly beyond altitude and distance limits that the Pilot defines. This will help the Pilot to avoid sensitive airspace and neighbors. Stay legal and safe.

Comparision VCD, DVD, 720p, 1080p (Full Hd), 2K, Ultra HD (UHD), 4K, DronesForFun

The headline fact is simple and dramatic, 4K deliver four times as much detail as 1080p (Full HD). It means that 4K shows image in eight million pixels compared to Full HD which shows in two million pixels image. The image clarity is more fine details, greater texture and an almost photographic emulsion of smoothness.
