Product Profile Introduction RoboMaster TT includes the aircraft and the expansion kit. The aircraft is a small quadcopter that features a Vision Positioning System and an onboard camera. Using the Vision Positioning System and advanced flight controller, the aircraft can hover in place and fly indoors. Advanced features like 8D Flips, EZ Shots, and Bounce mode make it even more fun to use the aircraft. The camera captures 5MP photos and streams 720p live video to the Tello app on a mobile device.
Aircraft The RoboMaster TT contains a flight controller, video downlink system, Vision Positioning System, propulsion system, and a Flight Battery. Refer to the aircraft diagram in the Product Profile section.
