Drone is gaining popularity as a play tool that can be enjoyed not only by children but also by adults. There are various types of items from inexpensive items to high-spec models equipped with the latest technology.
This time, we reviewed the small drone “PETRONE” that can be used alone or in combination with an optional kit. Find out why adults are addicted.
Body contents
"PETRONE" features looks that are likely to appear in space anime and a compact body that fits in both hands. It weighs about 35g (including battery) and is very light and can be carried easily.
In addition to the main body, a propeller spare, battery and charger are included. The U-shaped part is used when removing the propeller.
Module type that can be easily disassembled and assembled. By using an optional kit, you can enjoy "Drive Mode" that runs on the ground and "FPV (Camera) Mode" that allows you to operate while displaying the video captured by the camera on the screen.
I played with "PETRONE"
Set the battery in the main unit
First, charge the battery. A flight of 5 to 8 minutes is possible with a charge time of 20 to 30 minutes. Battery life is a common level among toy drones of the same price range.
When the battery is fully charged, set it in the slot on the back of the body. The LED light will turn on when the battery is inserted.
Easy operation with smartphone
Download a dedicated app to your smartphone. After simple registration, the app screen becomes a transmitter (transmitter).
Remove the propeller and guard and install the optional “drive kit” to turn it into a radio controlled car. You can enjoy assembling yourself like a plastic model.

The operation method can be selected from “touch control” that operates the touch button on the screen and “motion control” that operates the back and forth and right and left movements by tilting the smartphone.
Neither mode has a slight time lag, but now you get used to it over and over and you can control it smoothly.
In additcon, you can set the flight speed and change the LED color. You can customize to your favorite aircraft.
Auto hovering
Equipped with various sensors such as acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, and barometer. Even beginners can easily operate because the position is automatically grasped and stable flight in the air.
Turtle turn
Even if the main body is turned over at the time of landing, it is equipped with a function that allows the aircraft to return to its original state by simply pressing the start button.
Move the propeller on one side and rotate it.
It ’s convenient because you do n’t have to go through the trouble of going to pick it up every time you turn it over!
Turn into drive mode!
Remove the propeller and guard and install the optional “drive kit” to turn it into a radio controlled car. You can enjoy assembling yourself like a plastic model.
Completed in less than 5 minutes!
The front part has LED headlights that can be used in dark places. In addition to moving forward, it is also possible to back and change direction. You can also enjoy the pursuit of maneuvering techniques.
You can play with two or more units or shoot with a camera
We couldn't try this time, but if you have two or more units, you can enjoy the “Battle Mode” where you can play an infrared laser from the main unit.
In addition, it can be used as a drone for photography by attaching the “FPV (Camera) Kit”. Using the Wi-Fi function, you can operate while checking the image taken with the camera on the smartphone screen. The point is that you can save the photos and videos you have taken on your smartphone. You can enjoy shooting from angles that are usually difficult.
