FWIW Also seems to go around under the name Pro Air1 or Air Pro-1

Haven't found anything on it on the Tube; actual inflight footage that is.

The ICat 1 Pro seems to have disappeared from BG, though it's still listed at GB.

I'd strongly recommend checking out the only independent review I've found for the drone before making an order though.

Just saw that video, but that seems to be about the brushed (black) version of this quad.

Found another video on YT which does seem to show some aerial footage (from 00:36) taken with the brushless version:

Looks okay, but would indeed wait for some half decent reviews

I have this one on the way for review, shouldnt be too far off from receiving it in the mail. I will post up my test flight when I have it up on my channel. I'm looking forward to see how it performs as it looks like there is no SD card DVR slot and is solely relying on WiFi fpv for video.

When recording onboard you at least know that your video will be as good as it gets; relying on wifi transmission for video capture is like throwing everything out of the window imo. Cannot understand why manufactors would decide to ditch onboard recording

Just some infight pictures, no inflight videos there; videos will tell you the best what the quad is like in practice.

Just received mine yesterday but the rain has stopped me flying it at the moment, so made a quick over view video. Will hopefully test fly it in the next day or two when the weather fines up! (middle of winter here in AUS)

Review from 'Quadricottero News' (Italian). It seems that this little quad is a successor to the Wingsland S6 in some ways, with a relatively good camera, but a disappointingly short flight time. To be fair though the Icat1 Pro seems to be a much more stable flyer

Here is my Flight Review, its not that great which i guess why its so cheap in price! Video files saved to the phone gallery are unusable, and also it seemed to want to elevate in altitude on its own.

ok, but I think many are looking for a product under 250 grams [emoji848]
