Once you have successfully bound the software to the drone, you can use the Charge Manager to fully charge all four batteries. With the batteries charged, you are now ready to take off and begin your flying adventure.

Just plug in the battery and the Stargazer will power up automatically. The flight controller, VTX, and camera will begin to function, and as soon as you put on the goggles, you’ll see the image being transmitted in real time.

If the remote control and airplane are successfully synchronized, you can initiate takeoff after completing the frequency setup.

The remote’s built-in vibration motor provides prompts for various modes, such as gear changes, out-of-control situations, and takeoff. This seamless interaction creates a friendly and integrated experience that makes you feel truly connected to your remote and your aircraft.

To start the motor, simply long press the start button and gently push the throttle to take off. The built-in barometer allows the flight controller to approximate the drone’s altitude based on barometric pressure, providing a degree of altitude stabilization.

It’s important to note, however, that this feature does not compare to DJI’s advanced capabilities. Due to its compact size, the drone does not have GPS functionality and can only maintain a relatively stable altitude indoors.

The initial speed is deliberately set at a moderate level, allowing beginners to gradually get used to the responsiveness of the joystick and master the flight dynamics of the drone.

Overall control of the drone is effortless, and considering my first experience with a tinywhoop three years ago, this mini drone offers a remarkable leap forward in terms of user experience.

With the first-person view and compact size, I can effortlessly navigate and launch in a variety of tight spaces. From squeezing through lamp gaps, to maneuvering between chair openings, to performing quick turns in the kitchen, my home becomes an exciting mini airfield. The challenge is immensely enjoyable because it doesn’t require the same expansive areas as larger 5-inch drones.

Of course, the occasional crash is inevitable, and I experienced several during my challenges. However, the drone remained resilient and showed no signs of damage or frame cracks. By simply reinserting the batteries, I was able to quickly resume flight without any adverse effects.

I also did an outdoor test. Initially, the speed adjustment was moderate, resulting in some instability during outdoor flights.

However, after adjusting the speed in the app, the performance improved slightly, allowing for smoother flights within the confines of the courtyard. Overall, I find the indoor flight experience to be more enjoyable and satisfying than outdoor flights.

By the way, if you do lose your drone, you can activate the rescue mode of the remote control, which will make the drone emit a beeping sound, making it easier to locate. However, it is important to note that due to its small size, it is advisable to avoid flying in areas with dense vegetation, as locating the drone after loss in such environments can be quite challenging.
