Looks like an fpv racing drone. Crazy how these fun toys now have explosives strapped to them and are now used to kill people.
It literally is an fpv racing drone, just with a bomb strapped to it.
I've been flying them for the last 2 years or so. Seriously, the skill involved in what we are seeing is not to be undervalued. It is not autopilot - someone is on the other end with a controller precisely maneuvering it, avoiding trees, leaves, branches, all with a shitty analog signal and probably a 6-8 minute (on the high end) time limit due to battery limitations. Crazy skills involved.
I've been looking into the world of fpv racing and it is pretty complex. I feel like it's a hobby specifically for computer and electrical engineers because I looked up on how to get into it and I had to buy a bunch of parts, do some soldering, and program it myself with some open source software out there. One day I will get into it but the skill to get into them and even to fly them is amazing.
Duuude it is so fun. I totally hear you though, there is quite a bit to it and it can be overwhelming.
Here's my recommendation: just get this - https://emax-usa.com/products/tinyhawk-3-fpv-racing-drone-ready-to-fly-w-controller-and-goggles#
This is a "bind and fly" package with everything you need to get started, no overcomplicated systems required. This drone is actually great for learning on - it's basically all I flew for the first year, and it was a blast.
As you get better, you will naturally learn more about the hobby and how to improve on the system you are using to learn, but you really don't need to worry about that until later. Until then, this is all you really need.
