This dual camera drone mixes a classic single-rotor helicopter design with modern drone helpers: optical flow positioning, altitude hold, follow mode and a 6-axis gyro. It is a fun, affordable way to start taking aerial photos and videos.
Quick answer: the L1 is a beginner-friendly helicopter drone with front and downward cameras, about 15 minutes of flight and roughly 150 m of range. The maker lists the camera as 8K but does not publish sensor size or bitrate, so it is made for fun and social media, not pro filmmaking. Price: €130, VAT included.
Free tracked shipping to the EU and the US. Estimated delivery: 10–20 business days.

What makes this helicopter drone different?
Most camera drones have four propellers. The L1 flies like a real helicopter, with one main rotor and a tail rotor, so it looks great in the air and on video.
Optical flow and altitude hold keep it steady at the same height, which makes the first flights much easier. Follow mode lets it track you while it records, and there is a stunt mode for flips once you get confident.
