As expected the drone OnePlus DR-1 It is already a reality that it is even possible to buy on the page of the Chinese manufacturer. It is true that the day chosen for its launch is the most curious (Fool Day, which would be the Holy Innocents in our culture), but the fact is that this accessory is totally real.
The fact is that we are facing a quadcopter -has four propellers- that has a striking design, where the color red rules over the rest, and that has in its small dimensions one of its striking details (70 x 28 millimeters). In addition, its weight is not high either, since it remains at 12,5 grams, so it has not been necessary to implement a particularly powerful motor for the OnePlus DR-1 to function optimally.
Here's the presentation video of the new drone that, the truth, is at least striking and shows a good job by the manufacturer when it comes to promoting this new accessory:
Rechargeable battery
Yes, the OnePlus DR-1 includes a rechargeable battery of 100 mAh which is enough to provide the drone with an autonomy of a maximum of eight minutes, so it is certainly necessary to have very controlled what is done with it, since otherwise it will have to be recharging continuously (the time of this process takes 20 minutes using a USB cable).
As regards the motor, the accessory has an element ø6X12 (4pcs) that supplies power to each of the propellers (by the way, four spare ones are included, which is a nice detail) so that the speed is correct. Besides, it must be said that it has a simple remote control, so much so that it personally reminds me of the one that many remote-controlled cars for children use.
As we have indicated the price of the OnePlus DR-1 is $19,90, and the color it arrives with is a combination of red and white. By the way, the number of units is limited as indicated by the manufacturer, so if you are interested in this drone you should not take long to get one. Will you be one of those who buy this accessory?

What are they for? I suppose they will take photos because otherwise it seems completely dispensable ...
