When welcoming someone into a hobby, how exactly do you get them started? For a select few, going balls to the wall and maximizing the experience by picking out the cream of the crop is the way to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plan might backfire, though, as a total newbie can (and probably will) be overwhelmed at every chance they get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the drone flying hobby, this rings true as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, as a general rule of thumb, most are initiated into the activity by way of the affordable route: cheap, toy-grade quadcopters that have the most basic of functions just to give them their first taste of remote, unmanned flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such is the Force1 F100GP Ghost, an entry-level offering that is friendly to the pocket as it is to the total amateur. But what exactly does it have in store for our beginner buddies? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out in this extensive Force1 F100GP Ghost review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Force1 F100GP Ghost Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brushless Motors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Force1 F100GP Ghost packs four brushless motors<\/a> for each of its propeller arms. This means that the drone has better control over its speed thanks to the efficiency offered by these motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brushless motors are also inherently less noisy due to the almost-frictionless design of the mechanism. This also means less heat generated, equating to a longer service lifespan. Basically, what brushed motors have, their brushless cousins do better. Not too shabby to be outfitted on a beginner drone, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6-Axis Gyroscope<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Apart from being an agile speedster in the air, this drone is equipped with an advanced 6-axis gyroscope that allows it to stay on the balls of its feet (or the tips of its wings, whichever’s convenient). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic 3-axis sensors of the drone are further enhanced by the additional, redundant modules that refine the drone’s maneuvering and automatic flight adjustment capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altitude Hold<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whether you need to change positions, trying to gather your sense of direction, or simply scratch that irresistible itch on your back, this doesn’t let you down with its handy Altitude Hold function. With the simple press of a button, the drone automatically stops dead on its tracks mid-air, much like a handy parking feature for UAVs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The craft does this by making use of its barometer that actively tracks changes in air pressure and automatically adjusting the drone’s altitude level based on the current data the sensors detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

360\u00b0 Flips<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As appealing as it might be already, the drone takes it to another level with a party trick up its sleeve. The 360\u00b0 functionality of this bird allows it to do complete barrel rolls in the air with just a flick of a switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAV is kept safe with the help of the 6-axis gyroscope, stabilizing the drone after performing the dizzying feat like it’s nobody’s business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
