Finally we get the window to test Lotus RC's T580 QuadCopter outdoors. It was very stable and at one point the stability control system did come very handy when I lost orientation and control. This quad copter is a very good Aerial Photography machine and great for Short Range Fun FPV. Enjoy the video.

  • Nice machine, I have really got to get moved and then get my cash together and get one!! Thanks for the video Ali!!

  • @Tigratx get your cash together. I have just become the world wide distribution agent for T580 of Lotus RC. we are going to release the T580DX (V2) next month. Just watch my coming up video. that thing can fold into something really small that carrying is piece of cake, unfold and Ready to fly in 1 minute on field, fold back to store and carry in a minute too. Better altitude hold, new firmware, bigger propellers and new hardware. :D coming soon. you can buy it off my site directly from me

see all

  • @grey0powerlessnesss I was stupid enough to watch Alishanmao and Bruce Simpson recommend the T580 quadkopter so I ordered one. This was a big mistake. I cannot get spare parts for the model from the manufacturer who sold it to me. On the third flight this thing did the FLIP OF DEATH at about 50 feet altitude and drove itself into the ground. No explained reason why. Just in a stable hover and then over it goes and crashed. Ignoring my control inputs. Dont buy a T580!

  • @grahamlwilson Ur quals & U-tube track record seem far below that of the NZ tester. seems you keep away from Asia/ Asians. Are you are qualified enough?

    Australian Capital Territory retiree.

  • @alishanmao You forgot to mention: these very distinct marking are on EVERY multi-copter. In this case the manufacturer supplied them, but other models have both X & +, so the end-user marks it.

  • watch?v=5BERRDz2NYg&feature=re­lmfu

    Your New Zealand fellow reviewer does not have financial interests in this product. Did you find quality control issues - soft metal bolts (missing and not at all tightened), poor engineering design on the hardware? Thank you for pinpointing the beta-software faults: not yet ready for retail sale.

  • 3400mAh and 35C! ... That C is enough, realy depending on it. I try 5200mAh 20c - is not enough, same as 2200mAh 20C and 2200mAh 25C. Be care for C nuber for quadcopters.

  • Please don't apologize for your English Mr. Ali. You speak very well and clearly! I very much appreciate your time, effort, and ability when providing such useful information as your videos and expertise has brought me much more able to be excited about RC fun!! I thank you good sir!

  • @alishanmao Hey, that's great! Can you tell me your web site so that I can buy from you?

  • @alishanmao Can you tell me just about how much the T580DX (V2) will cost?

  • Looks quite wobbly. You didn't mention that in your honest review. I haven't checked the Gopro footage yet, but I can't see it being usable, as every time I've seen the 580 fly it's wobbling the entire time. The AR drone is more stable than this!

  • what is the payload rating on this one?

    thanks!
