Vortex 150 Micro Racing Drone | Flite Test
Vortex 150 Micro Racing Drone | Flite Test
Josh, Alex, TJ and friends test the Vortex 150 mini racing quad and its capabilities.

Coming in below 250 gram the Vortex 150 is not considered a ‘drone’ in many parts of the world. This allows the Vortex 150 Mini to be flown in many more places than its big brother the Vortex 250 Pro. Doors are opened to fly in a typical garden, or small park. A swing-set becomes a perfect power-loop target and garden furniture becomes a race gate, a new world of possibilities has just been opened up!

So much fun! Can’t wait to build one
3 min flight time is quite small :-/ have hardly time to look around in the air… not their fault, but still :-/
Give it a month the price will be 109
damn i want one of those
why did you present it in a way that we have never seen your stuff before? looked like a sales pitch
Have you created an episode for people, who are looking to get into FPV, what to pick up if they want to do it in the most cost-effective way?
Cool! 🙂
Ive got a tyrant 150 ,are there any more, and how do they compare?
@FliteTest can a gopro hero 5 be attached to the quad?
can you strap a GoPro on top to record nice images? Will it still fly?
Well I’m on my second Vortex 150
the first one vtx has locked to 5725 and only 8mw so thats going back to Immersion
the second 150 O flew today and that flys great on 4S but the motors stop midflight and it falls out of the sky but then works fine again
I see the flight summary when the motors stop
I have setup am arm switch on my dx9
I love the fact you can fly these almost anywhere and still have fun.
F.L.I.G.H.T Just in case you didn’t know. (Don’t call you Justin).
Just received my Vortex 150 from the FliteTest team, super fast shipping, Can’t wait to get it up in the air!
I bought my vortex 150 from you guys and i love it! i just don’t have lots of time to build and tweak like i used to. I just what to fly and this thing does just that and very well.
I love how as soon as Eric says "this is scary" you can see a giant face in the clouds at 7:10 watching him fly.
Hi guys at FliteTest I was wondering what the easiest to build and use DIY cardboard plane is from your website
Is there any difference with the Green model, Vortex 150 Pro?
I am going to florida next month. FT is going to be near Florida or know about some nice store or club near Orlando?
The funny thing is lol I live 5 miles away from the Lake Wales Airport, Wow Flite Test you guys were so close! Keep up the good work and God Bless!
D
Guys in your store you show this package at 3 pounds…. that is way inflated. Maybe 1/2 of that (the box is sooooo small), so your shipping costs might be a bit fluffy. Just an FYI.
i love my little 150mm i build last year so im not surprised they would love this formfactor 🙂
$300?!
I do think these inflated prices will be the downfall for US and European multirotor manufacturers soon. There’s no loyalty in trade. And who’s going to pay double the price when you can get just as good, if not better, from Chinese manufacturers for so much less?
Soon the Chinese quads will have surpassed their western counterparts- then companies like ImmersionRC really will be in trouble…
This quad is so fast and so strong you would have to fly it straight down into concrete to damage it and it would still be fine
They put the XT30 on only to keep it under FAA regs so you don’t need to register. I believe ImmersionRC knew that everyone and their mom was gonna slap a XT60 on their 150 Pro. I love ❤️ my mini Vortex but I found it needs the higher mah and juice so I use pulse 860mah 4S or even a Venom 1000mah. Just my personal opinion. Love the topic guys keep em coming!!
I have a question. In the TX wizard there are 3 profiles you can choose. What is the difference between those profiles? There was not any info in the box on this. Thanks guys.
Hey guys, FYI the V150 carries a Session 5 very well. I only lose about 45 seconds when cruising (~5.5 minutes) and maybe a full minute when pushing it (~4 minutes). I keep the mounting simple by sandwiching the stock Session mount between the top of the battery, and a slightly longer velcro strap from Rotor Riot. I don’t use the sticky locking base but I did add a thin layer of foam rubber between the battery and the Session mount, such as the stock padding that’s already mounted to the V150. The width of the battery matches the GoPro mount well and the stock mount allows easy camera tilt to match whatever style you fly. Enjoy and Rotors On!
KNIFE EDGE THROUGH THE TREEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!
I’d like to know how a first time flyer could fly this. I’ve got the same quad and when I push the right stick forward it just starts tumbling and crashes. All I’ve got is a $279.00 doorstop.
could you run a gopro session 5 on this or is it too small? not new to drones but new to racing/freestyle
When you get to see the first prototype last year before the media had any idea about it!
I just thought of it a day before yesterday
Solid shilling.
hello
Josh, Alex and all you talk very very quicly I can not understand..Please talk like Mr President!
will this bind to my DX8?
$300? Hahaha lol
A bit expensive I think? ? A lot more that are better options out there guys!👍👍🏻👏
whats the terminology used for when you need to turn down the quads "sensitivity"?
thats about the size cereal bowl i use lol
At 8:33 it looks like the vortex is sitting on a massive quad frame….
what reciever do you guys use in this quad? I use spektrum and don’t know whether I need a 3.3 volt receiver or the 5? money is tight is like to spend as little as possible. does the flight controller need 3.3v or 5v? please get back to me!!!
I love flying this quad! this is what im learning on, "started with simulator which is a must it will save you lots of $" its not too much to handle but enough to get the adrenalin going, the wind was blowing it around pretty good today but wind dont scare me it just makes things more interesting lol. i learned to love the wind with my planes. snow sucks though its hard to read the terrain i flew right into a snow bank today i was flying around a big rock pile and there was some gaps i was playing with but what i didn’t see was the snow pile it looked flat in the fpv but i soon found out otherwise lol. this thing does hold up to moisture pretty well. i have gotten mine pretty wet a couple times but i did stop flying if i hit the snow or get it really wet and put it away til it dries out. i wish the beeper was about 10x louder though, i dont hear well but my son does so he helps me find it when i crash. great videos i have learned so much from them you guys are awesome
Who the hell is working your channel camera.. zoom in zoom out zoom in zoom out 😳 dodging my eyeballs up
১৫০ টাটার ড্যন কিনতে চাই
can i fly a race drone like the vortex 150 ore the ft 210 with a not very hitec expensive transmitter like the spektrum dx5e?
now i need a cheap video receiver to begin with FPV
obviously not googles as their price is way too high :/
what could i buy?
I just bought this machine…. The Flite Test version. Does it come with the Mario song?
Awesome vid and awesome quad👍
Just bought one with 4 batteries. Thank you guys for introducing this to me and love the channel. Can you recommend a good lipo charger? Dual charging or more would be nice and one that discharges at a reasonable rate for storage.
Which is the range of this dron?
