Weeks+Shipping: Backordered. Both AI bundles are temporarily out of stock at Bitcraze (ships from Sweden, ~1–2 weeks + duties once back). Bitcraze ↗
Remote control: Fly it with
cflib in Python through the Crazyradio USB dongle; camera frames come separately over the AI-deck's Wi-Fi.Overview
The most "real robotics" drone, with open firmware, a great Python library and research-grade swarm tools. But the camera is a 320 px grayscale sensor, flights last minutes, and on-board AI is embedded C. The priciest way to get a bad picture.
