Awesome, I really like that everything fits neatly in the travel case. That is huge for my initial impression. It even fits the charger so you won't be wondering where that is. I’ve been flying FPV for a few years now and have built dozens of drones. My brother-in-law recently expressed interest in getting a starter kit. I wanted to recommend something I felt confident would actually work out for him, and I’m happy to say this is it. It will be a great starter kit and pretty much plug-and-play. One of the best parts about the drone is that you can fly it stabilized (and with position hold), and then as you get more interested and improve, you can switch over to ACRO. If you’re new to FPV, ACRO can be challenging at first. It's where you can do all sorts of crazy flying, like flips and dives - basically, you tell the drone exactly what to do. A lot of people learn the basics in a simulator before flying that way in real life - so having both options built in is a big win. The drone itself is excellent and everything has an impressive build quality to it. The image quality in the video feed is excellent. I fly their other digital system (Avatar), so I was curious what the Ascent video system would look like. It felt pretty much the same to me. Since it’s cheaper, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the experience held up. I didn’t fly too far, but the control link is ExpressLRS, so that shouldn’t be an issue. A few notes from my perspective (and these are the kinds of things to point out as someone who's pretty hardcore into the building/customization DIY aspect of FPV): - Position hold works, but it’s not quite DJI-level. It definitely does the job, but if you get too high and the optical sensor can’t do its thing, it feels more like altitude hold and it can get pushed around a bit by wind. - Switching modes mid-flight was difficult. I think you need to be at low/zero throttle to switch modes, but that would obviously make the drone drop, so I mostly stayed in whichever mode I started the flight in. - The goggles are the same form factor as the Walksnail Avatar HD Goggles L, which for my big head is a little too small. But it was fine, and just a little light leakage. - I noticed while flying in stabilized mode, I was struggling a bit with wind. Although I think there’s also a dial I wasn’t using that can increase the available power. In acro (full control), wind wasn’t an issue. - Radio ELRS compatibility isn’t totally clear to me. I’m not sure if the included transmitter can be used on other quads (or vice-versa), but I’d suspect it should work. - I don’t know if you can adjust the tune like you can in Betaflight, but most consumers won’t want or need that anyway. Final thoughts: this is a very strong entrance into the consumer drone space. It includes everything a beginner could want, and the price is more than on target. Overall, I’m giving it a 5-star review and would feel good recommending it to someone just getting into FPV. I'm sure my brother-in-law will love it!

- Great entry-level FPV kit for learning without breaking the bank If you're getting into FPV and want a self-contained kit that won't shrink your wallet when you inevitably crash, this is it. I fly drones as a hobby but mainly camera drones, so FPV was very scary and confusing at first. Having this kit is great because I know if I screw up, I can just pick it up and try again. It won't hurt anyone - it's just too small. - The Remote Controller The remote works with PC simulators, which is huge for beginners. There's a free LiftOff drone model so you can practice before flying for real. It would be nice if they bundled a lite version of some simulator software, but hey, free works. I highly recommend spending time in a simulator before you take this thing outside. Trust me on this one. Oh, calibrate the jobsticks first. - The Goggles: The goggles looked small and I was worried since I have a big head, but I had no issues seeing the screen. Here's my situation though - I'm getting older and can't see things up close well. There's no lens adjustment built in, which would be nice even for an entry-level kit. The screen is actually viewed through a mirror system inside. My workaround? I just increased the distance between my eyes and the screen by putting some padding foam in between, and now it's crystal clear. They do sell customizable lenses for about $30, but my DIY fix works fine and I'm trying to keep costs down. The goggles will fit with glasses, but I just don't want to wear glasses with any goggles - personal preference. For the price point, I get it, but any simple lens adjustment mechanism would help a lot of people. On the bright side, Caddx just announced they'll have goggles supporting both X and L series. I think that's a good upgrade path for later, but we'll see how that plays out. - The Quad: This little guy is tough. I've crashed and dropped it so many times I've lost count, and it still looks okay. They include extra propellers which is thoughtful, but honestly the base frame will probably crack before you go through the props. I would have preferred an extra frame instead. Being under 250g is a big deal with all these ever-changing drone regulations. You just need to pass the online test and you're good to go - no registration headaches or worrying about where you can fly. -The Camera: The camera quality is way better than analog systems, so that's a nice step up. That said, it's not on the level of DJI or Walksnail - but those are premium systems and you're paying premium prices for them. For learning, this is more than adequate. I still need to test low light performance more thoroughly. I will update this when I tried it. - The Battery - My Biggest Gripe: 2S 840mAh. Basically 2 batteries 420mAh connected in series. But here's my least favorite part of this kit: the battery is proprietary. You can't buy other off-the-shelf batteries that fit. I get about ~8 minutes per battery if I'm not flying (or crashing) aggressively, way less if I'm pushing it. You should definitely budget for extra batteries because 3 batteries bundled is not enough for a good practice session. Another ~$31 for 3 batteries, which is actually a pretty good price. It is already in my shopping cart. I think they’re smart batteries. - Flight Characteristics: I'll be honest, I'm still confused about the rates and changing modes. This is not Betaflight, so you can't customize flying properties in detail like you can with other setups. I've heard you can flash Betaflight to it, but that's not my plan. My plan is simple: learn how to fly FPV without causing too much trouble. For that purpose, the stock settings work fine. They have 3 modes and 3 rates in Acro (the most difficult mode I need to learn). I wish there was a way to customize them in detail. Position hold works as you can see it in my video. It is very useful when you’re in panic, turn that on, level your quad. 2 things to watch out: changing mode may fail if your stick is not below certain % and other stick must be certain, second, switching mode (e.g. into Acro mode) will make your quad drop in altitude. Get used to it. - Who This Is For: -- You just want to start learning FPV -- You want to stay under 250g and avoid registration requirements -- You're okay crashing while you learn (you will crash, a lot) -- You want a nice self-contained all-in-one package at a fair price - Who Should Look Elsewhere: -- You want a drone you'll keep long-term and upgrade with soldered custom parts - the only thing I can think of that you can easily upgrade is the propeller -- You want detailed flight tuning -- You need a system you can grow with for years - Resale Value: I'd give it 4.5/5. These kits hold value reasonably well since there's always new people getting into the hobby. - Future Considerations: I use Walksnail for my land rover, so I really want to just own one goggle system eventually. Once I'm done learning on this, I might move on to something like the Gofilm 20, but that's Walksnail system. The nice thing would be if I could upgrade while keeping compatible goggles. - Bottom Line: This kit provides a relatively cheap learning experience with everything you need in one box. The price is nice, the quad is durable, and you can practice on simulators before risking the real thing. Yes, the proprietary battery situation is annoying and I wish there was lens adjustment on the goggles, but for what this is meant to be - a beginner's entry into FPV - it does the job well. I won't bother you with other details you can find in the product description. If you're new to FPV and want to learn without a huge investment, give this a shot. Remember, if you study the menu, do 3.1.5, and 3.1.6. You’re welcome.

The drone is super bad it breaks so easily the quality is good for a beginner but the power is super underperforming the battery life sucks and the Stability is super bad Dont buy this drone
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2026 by Heriberto M.
The drone came in a timely manner and the kit honestly looks good. This is especially considering the cost and the included parts list. But that’s only good if you receive everything that’s on the parts list. Unfortunately I did not. I received what looks like everything except the 2S Charger for the included 3x 2S batteries. So I actually cannot be sure about how well or unwell the craft flies. I give it a 2 star rating so far because although I’ve been sent a $370 paperweight, it’s a pretty nice looking paperweight. Update: 3/20/2026 After receiving a refund I ordered another of these drones and everything was there and the drone is pretty awesome! It’s HIGHLY recommended that you read the entire instruction manual as there are some fail safe features that you will want to understand, as well as some binding procedures that have to be performed before flight. It is an awesome training drone that does indeed give you enough freedom to get yourself into trouble quickly, as in lack of experience will likely lead to a crash if not carefully considered when using Angle and Acro modes. I would also highly recommend the slow and methodical approach to gaining flight experience. It’s a palm size drone, I mean it literally and metaphorically when I say this thing can be a handful for an inexperienced operator. The headset is awesome as far as resolution and latency but lacks a bit in the way of stability on your head. It’s really front heavy and wants to continuously fall downward on your face which tend to naturally make you want to look up. I’m not a fan of that. It could benefit from a more rigid band with thicker elastic. Your experience may be a bit different depending on head size and how tight you can handle the band, I personally don’t like going really tight on elastic like this because it leads to premature over stretching of the band causing a loss in elasticity. But other than those points it’s pretty good, and I’m pretty sure you can bind the headset to any of the Caddyx VTX units, so you can graduate from this little craft to a larger caddyx or possibly even a custom build. (Not 100% sure on how true that is) Now for the not so great things about this craft. One thing I noticed during flight is the craft has an intermittent twitch that happens that seems to cause a short temporary delay in craft response from the controller. It didn’t necessarily cause me any flight issues, but I can see it being a problem if you are flying in close quarters or in Angle or Acro mode and need to rely on precise controls. Another thing I’m not a fan of is the low battery protection mode, as it just cuts all power to the craft and it just falls from the sky. The manual does cover this feature and extends a warning about it, but in PosHold mode I would like to see a controlled decent feature rather than just a power cut. That may be asking a lot of this 75mm unit though. Lastly, the battery life. It’s advertised at 10min flight, but from what I could gather from flying the craft thus far is that is only accomplished indoors in PosHold mode. That time is pretty dramatically decreased in Angle or Acro modes (to be expected as these mode require more power), but it is also apparent in PosHold mode when flying outdoors and any wind is introduced. Overall I think this is a great bargain/value for the price, and an excellent start if you are getting your feet wet in the fpv world. I would definitely recommend. PS: If you are an experienced pilot with FPV drones and are used to the performance of the custom builds, this craft will like be pretty underwhelming for you. So be aware of that.

The Walksnail Protos starter kit is honestly one of the best entry points into digital FPV right now. As a pro, it makes the whole process so much easier for beginners because everything you need is included and designed to work together. You don’t have to worry about compatibility issues or spending hours figuring out parts and building, it's basically ready to go and very straightforward to set up. What really stands out is how beginner-friendly it is while still delivering high-end performance. The video quality is incredibly clear and sharp, which makes flying much easier since you can actually see details in your surroundings. The low latency also makes the controls feel smooth and responsive, so even new pilots can build confidence quickly. Another huge plus is how durable the kit is. For beginners, crashes are mandatory to learn, and this drone can definitely take a beating. The frame feels strong and well-built, and it holds up really well even after multiple rough landings. That durability makes a big difference when you’re learning because you don’t have to stress every time you crash, you can always just pick it up and keep flying. The signal strength and reliability are also excellent. Even when flying farther out, the connection stays stable without random dropouts, which adds an extra layer of confidence, especially for newer pilots. Overall, the Walksnail Protos starter kit is the perfect combination of ease of use, durability, and performance. It’s ideal for beginners who want to get into FPV the right way, without sacrificing quality. If you’re just starting out and want something reliable, strong, and easy to learn on, this kit is 100% worth it.

I have been flying fpv since 2020, and have had a few camera drones before then (DJI Phantom and Spark). If you have ever tried learning to fly FPV drones before, you'll know it can have a steep learning curve. I wanted something small and easy to fly for my son, who is interested in learning fpv. I found this Caddx Protos which includes everything he would need to get started, so I gave it a shot. Inside the box is an awesome carrying case. Most of the time you have to buy a separate carrying case, but not this one. The Protos comes with a hard sided case that is molded for each part of the drone on one side, and 3 mesh pockets on the other side for accessories. Everything you need to fly fits in the carrying case in it's own custom molded spot, and the drone itself even has an extra bungee strap to keep it secure in the case. Packaged inside the carrying case is the Protos drone, 3 drone batteries, 1 goggle battery, 1 drone battery hub (to charge all 3 drone batteries), the RC controller, the goggles, 4 extra propellers, an extra top body with spare screws, a cleaning cloth, manual, 35 watt USB-C wall brick, USB-C to USB-C cable, USB-A to USB-C cable, and an XT30 to DC barrel plug (connects the goggles to their battery). Plus a few other QC papers, a manual, and some other papers. The Protos drone itself is awesome. It’s a small and lightweight pusher style. The beginner “POSHOLD” mode is great for learning on. From what I’ve noticed, if you actually want the POSHOLD to work well, put it in that mode before takeoff, and stay at least 3 feet off the floor so it can get a good picture. I have mainly used it inside, as wind can blow this guy around in this mode. But it gives you the control and precision you need when starting out. Angle mode works as a good intermediate learning tool, but can be tough to master (not a fault of the Protos, it is how angle mode is for all drones). ACRO mode is the true FPV experience, and allows you to fly completely unassisted, doing rolls an flips you see in the videos. Since it’s so light, it can withstand some abuse. While doing some acro flying, I clipped a branch spun around, and accidentally slammed into my house at full throttle while trying to recover. It broke 1 prop, but that’s it. I don’t even see any scratches on it. For a small light drone the Protos flies great and is a ton of fun. The battery charger is awesome, so easy to use. If you have any experience in FPV you will know that normally you need a dedicated LiPo charger with balance ports and you have to make sure you select the correct battery type and size. With this you just plug it in, and slide the batteries in. Probably the best part of this charger is that you can set it to storage charge. (If you don't know, storing batteries at full charge or empty can damage them and reduce their lifespan) most simple charger just charge the batteries to full, the. You have to try and guess when to take them off the charger if you plan on storing them for a while. With this you just press a button and it will put them into storage mode automatically. Really a super useful thing to have. The goggles are OK, they are a box-type, with a single screen. They aren’t heavy, and fit well on the head. The video is good quality, a thousand times better than analog, and the range is plenty for a small lightweight drone like the Protos. It has patch antennas, so try to keep four goggles facing the general direction of the drone to keep the best picture. As the video loses connection, you first get some blinking red lines, then some black bars on the sides. I prefer that because it is a clear indicator to turn back, or move to get better reception. The RC controller is a gamepad style, fits fine in the hands and actually has plenty of switches for changing everything you would need to do with a drone. I'm used to having a ton of switches for my controllers, so I was happy to see that the Protos still has buttons or switches for a beeper, arm/disarm, flight modes, and even turtle mode! (The ability to flip the drone over if it's upside down using the motors). The sticks do not come off and are not adjustable, but overall the build is good and the controller works as it should. I connected it to my laptop and used it as a controller for simulator without issue. The manual is written in clear English, very easy to read and understand. It has pictures and diagrams to clarify the button layouts and controls. Overall I would say this is a great buy to get into FPV. You get everything you need to start, and you get it as a digital HD system. Don’t miss out on this!

1/28/26 Update: CADDX support, specifically Yunis has been great with the follow up. I see many newcomers to FPV having similar issues that I'm experiencing so I'll lay this out for anyone having issues and I will update as I work through this with CADDX. After I have addressed everything you can visit my channel on Youtube for a start up video laying out the issues and resolutions for newbies like me. I've also requested that CADDX link my instructional videos for future US based customers who may have troubles understanding the accents from the original CADDX tutorials. This is a great little drone but there are some vital things that may need to be done before you fly. Purchasing an inexpensive simulator that links the remote so you can practice flying without actually physically damaging the Protos. THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AFTER SPENDING THE MONEY TO GET INTO THIS HOBBY! (I don't know what the cost actually is but I will get the info and post it here and my YouTube channel) Another $25 or so is money well spent to get the hand eye coordination to a level that makes initial mistakes insignificant when flying virtually. Begin by charging all batteries fully, remove plastic sticker from the undercarriage of the drone or it will overheat, simply powering up the goggles is not just plugging in the external battery, the videos I found and the manual states that they power up when the external battery is connected to the Ascent goggles, I found that the battery needs to be powered on after you plug the cable into both the battery and the goggles, short press the power button on the battery (LED's will light up showing the state of charge) then long press for 2 seconds and the goggles will power on. If you have issues with not being able to fly there could be firmware that needs to be installed for the goggles, drone and transmitter. CADDX has YouTube video playlists that walk you through each issue and the website has all the firmware downloads that you may, or may not need. I will continue to update this review as I work with CADDX to get me flying. Below is my first taste of the drone. (1/25/26) After seeing so many positive reviews from FPV Drone content creators I pulled the trigger to start my new career possibility. I've flown drones, RC planes and gyros but never wanted to spend the money to fly FPV. With the prices falling I decided to try this easy little RTF package. I received my Protos kit with the excitement of a child on Christmas day! Alas, the goggles won't power on. After charging the batteries fully, reading the manual and checking YouTube for startup videos it should be as easy as plugging in the external battery to the goggles and the goggles power on with an orange LED on the frame....no go. Contacted Caddx via Amazon and the website. Caddx responded quickly with another set of instructions but the goggles won't power on so I'm not able to do any firmware upgrades to the FPV goggles. I now wait for their response with a toy I can't play with. I'm so bummed. I'll get back to the review after the issue has been resolved but for now it's a 1 star....my heart hurts, the old addage of no expectations, no letdowns would've been better for me in this endeavor.

Perfect Entry Point into FPV - Complete Package with Some Trade-offs I've been flying FPV drones for many years now, and I picked up the Caddx Protos to have a convenient tiny whoop setup that I could grab and go. I'm really impressed with what you get in this package, and I think it's an excellent choice for specific use cases. What Makes This Special: Right out of the box, this is a complete, ready-to-fly system. Everything is already bound and configured, which means you can literally be flying within minutes of opening the case. The drone comes with spare batteries (a huge plus), and it all packs neatly into a carrying case that makes transport incredibly easy. Build quality is solid throughout - this feels like a well-engineered product, not a toy. The flight characteristics are excellent. Beginners will love the beginner mode which makes learning to fly much less intimidating, while more experienced pilots can switch to other flight modes that offer plenty of performance. The video quality is quite good, with recording handled via an SD card in the goggles, and the range is solid for indoor and moderate outdoor flying. Who This Is Perfect For: If you're brand new to FPV and just want to try out the hobby without the complexity of building and configuring everything yourself, this is ideal. You're flying the same day, learning the basics, and having fun immediately. It's also great for experienced pilots like myself who want a convenient, grab-and-go tiny whoop experience without any fuss. Important Considerations: This system is fairly proprietary, which is a trade-off for that convenience. You're locked into their ecosystem - no BetaFlight customization, and you can't bind to other goggles (though you can use other ELRS transmitters). The drone also isn't designed to be user-serviceable or easily repairable. If you're someone who wants to tinker, upgrade components, or build your FPV skills around a platform you can modify and repair yourself, this probably isn't the right choice. Similarly, if you're planning to invest in goggles and a transmitter that you want to build your FPV journey around, you might want to start with a more open platform. Bottom Line: For what it is - a complete, ready-to-fly FPV system - the Caddx Protos absolutely delivers. It removes all the barriers to entry for beginners and offers a hassle-free experience for veterans. Just make sure the convenience-focused, proprietary approach aligns with what you're looking for in the hobby. Highly recommended for the right user!
