ACME Zoopa Q420 Cruiser Quadrocopter Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2016-12-13

The Zoopa Q420 Cruiser drone from ACME is a decent quadrocopter featuring 360 flip function, a big responsive remote, one 600mAh LiPo rechargeable battery, a 720P camera module for taking photos or recording videos on microSDHC, blade protections but also a removable landing gear. The manufacturer also includes an additional set of blades for replacement in case the stock ones do break, while the drone orientation can be easily spotted via the different colored blades, but also thanks to the LED assemblies under each arm.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Last year, also in December we have taken a look at the wonderful BB-8 Star Wars droid from Sphero and now it is time to take a look at another remote-controlled device, a flying drone this time from ACME. To be more exact, we have in today’s focus the Zoopa Cruiser Q420 Quadrocopter, which is able to perform 360 degree flips, but also take photos or record movies at a 720P resolution. The product is shipped in a rather large, but very light cardboard enclosure, which also permits us to take a look at the drone chassis without the need to unseal the box:

 

 

 

Some warning messages can be read on the side of the packaging, in multiple languages:

 

 

 

 

The box is also provided with a plastic handle, for easy manipulation outside of the store:

 

 

 

If we do take a look at the back side, we will get to see some in-depth technical specifications, but also the fact that this model is designed for indoor use (we have found a small contradiction here because on the website it is written that the Q420 was designed for both outdoor and indoor usage):

 

 

 

After removing the top packaging layer, we will get to see the main product, along with its remote and additional bundle secured inside a custom white plastic mold:

 

 

 

Both documentation and accessories are wrapped inside transparent plastic bags:

 

 

 

We are receiving the two landing gear components, one USB microSDHC card reader, spare rotor blades, extra screws, the battery charging cable but also one screwdriver:

 

 

 

The tiny USB microSDHC card reader does help us download the data stored to our PC/laptop:
