REVIEW:
Introduction:
When I got this quadcopter it was selling in this box (left) and now it is selling in its new Yizhan box (right):
Tarantula X6 is designed like a Tarantula as mentioned in its name. Its powerful motors and aggressive pitch/yaw rates is its most important properties. It can easily carry a Gopro style cameras. It is better to use Mobius style cameras to dont't force the motors. It is really a Price/Performance product. I want to start my review with Assembly:
Assembly:
Tarantula X6 comes already assembled except landing gear and propeller guards. It is not har to assemble them as you can see in unboxing video. After assemmbly you need 6x AA battery for the Transmitter. Then it will be Ready to Fly!
Motors, Power and Flight Characteristics:
It is really powerful quadcopter in this price range. It comes with N50 Brushed motors and 7.4V 2S 30C Lipo battery. It is also lightweight so it can easily carry Gopro style cameras. But is better to use Mobius style cameras to not force the motors. Its flight characteristics is very suitable for aggressive flying. Pitch/yaw rate is very good even at the %40 speed mode. I recommend fly it on a wide open area, because it is really a very powerful machine. There are 3 speed rates: 40%, 60% and 100%. I recommend watching the "Flight Test" video above to see its flight. I didn't tested it with mounted camera but I have seen too many videos on youtube and I can say It can carry Gopro/Mobius style cameras without problem.
Transmitter:
Tarantula X6 comes with a white, good looking transmitter. There is a LCD display that shows thetrim level, speed mode, light condition, signal strength (I think it is not working reallly) and battery level ( for Transmitter). It has a very good range: about 300 meters, I didn't tested the range till to 300m but there are many tests on the web. I think, my max range was about 200 meters then I called it back because very hard to see it from this distance. So be careful, not fly your quadcopter out of your sight. If you lose your sight, it may be fly away.
Controlling Instructions:
There are 4 switches near the sticks for trimming. And there are 4 buttons near thr LCD. The top button that left side of the LCD, allows you to turn on/off the LEDs, the bottom one activates the headless mode, the buttons at the right side of the LCD are to take photo/video . The left shoulder button allows to control speed rates: 40%, 60% and 100% . The right shoulder button activates flipping.
Calibrating: To calibrate the gyroscope you have to switch to 100% speed mode then push both sticks to the lower-left corner until the LEDs are blinks fast.
Trimming:
Trimming switches near sticks used for trimmming. At first click 1 bar shown on the LCD display. At 11. click 2 bar is shown and at 21. clink 3. bar is shown. So don't think it will show every click one by one.
Preparing to fly: The transmitter should be switched on before the battery of the quadcopter is plugged in. Put the Tarantula X6 to a flat surface. Then move the left stick up and down to bind. If the LEDs of Tarantula stops blinking, binding process is succesful. Now it is ready to take-off.

When you are sport drones, you do not have a guarantee whether or not they can crash or not. Mini drone don't seem to be too low-cost in worth that is why you would like to travel for one thing that's sturdy in nature. apart from this, it ought to be straightforward to repair too.
