DarwinFPV has always been committed to designing cost-effective fpv drone. We humbly accept feedback from pilots, solve the problems that pilots are most concerned about, and bring better products to everyone who uses it. Adhering to these beliefs, DarwinFPV brings BabyApe Ⅱ.
BabyApe Ⅱ is a 3.5-inch small freestyle fpv drone with a take-off weight of less than 250g that fulfills most countries' regulations. Compared with the first generation of BabyApe, BabyApe Ⅱ has a more powerful configuration, adopts a more reliable manufacturing process and a new power system, and has a higher level of performance, durability and power. The flight time can reach 13 minutes, the flight distance is 1.5 kilometers, and the maximum speed is up to 92km/h.
If you are a beginner in fpv drone with limited budget, then we highly recommend BabyApe Ⅱ. It not only continues the classics of the first generation of BabyApe, but also upgrades to a higher configuration, and the price has not increased much. It is still the best choice for beginners within a reasonable budget.
Features
Compared with similar products of other brands, BabyApe Ⅱ only sells for $139.99, which once again perfectly reflects the super high cost performance;
It comes with 1504 motors and 3.5-inch propellers, the power is more stronger and the response speed is faster;
The camera and stack are protected by glue potting, which effectively prevents the risk of damage due to contact with metal particles, fine sand, gravel, weeds or dew, and the entire electronic system is more reliable and durable;
The addition of a buzzer and extra LED lights is extremely beneficial for beginners, who frequently confront circumstances such as over discharge the battery and locating drones due to mistakes that lead the drone to crash;
Analog/digital multi-version VTX systems are available for you to choose;
The independent action camera base can be used with naked gopro, thumb camera, etc. to record amazing images during flight at 4K/60 frames.

Super
excellent and good service
Got the package 9 days earlier than the estimated delivery date, no damage, the quad look good, however one screw from the camera is missing, the spare screw are long, but not a big deal...
Surprisingly nice drone for the price. I just got the batteries and was able to try it. It's very powerful and capable. I've put a 4s lihv 1100mah on top of it, but also ordered some 650mah i didn't receive yet. Even with the extra weight, it maneuver quite well.
There's two cons.
1.the battery can be difficult to install and balance because of how the plug is made.
2. Before plugging the battery, plug it in usb and adjust the vtx. I plugged the battery for about 30 seconds, it smelled a bit like burnt, touched the vtx and i couldn't even touch it for 1 second. They pre-configured it with vtx_power = 4, which is 600mw, there's no pit-mode and vtx_low_power_disarm is off by default.
So first thing you do when you receive it, plug it via usb, start betaflight configurator, get in cli and input :
Set vtx_power = 0
Set vtx_low_power_disarm = on
Save
Then after that you can plug the battery, and change the vtx power when you're ready to fly.
Didn't receive any drone. Was stopped
Pretty good for the price vs value, flew it on 4s elrs, crashed into snow and had no problem after drying it inside. Will be doing an hd swap since the camera is not good but cant complain overall! !
Excellent, and great, ready to fly
Excellent drone! The DarwinFPV BabyApe II 3.5" far exceeds my expectations. The construction is clean, no stray wires, and the 1504 motors provide an impressive amount of power for their size. The FC F411 and ESC 30A provide very precise response, flight is smooth and stable out of the box
The factory tuning is already very good: no vibrations, flips/rolls pass cleanly, and the drone remains controllable even in freestyle in tighter spaces. The analog VTX does the job well, clean image and correct range.
For the price, it is clearly one of the best 3.5 inch on the market. Very good choice for pilots who want a reliable, lightweight and versatile drone. I highly recommend.
Flies perfectly. I've crashed it a couple of times already and nothing has broken (except for one propeller because of me).
Everything is great. The delivery is very fast. Thank you
