Details

BabyApe III Mini keeps freestyle practice portable with a compact 2-inch build made for beginners and everyday flying.

Toss it in a bag and fly in more places—its small footprint makes quick sessions easy in yards, parks, and on trips.

Affordable replacement parts help reduce the worry factor when learning freestyle and recovering from early crashes.

Choose the DJI O4 option for crisp 1080p/100fps FPV and 4K/60fps recording with an ultra-wide view.

Smooth, responsive handling makes it easier to build confidence and control from the first few packs.

A one-piece carbon fiber body is designed to take hits and keep the build feeling solid over time.

A dedicated battery roll cage helps keep the pack secure and reduces disconnects after bumps and tumbles.

Built-in ELRS 2.4G keeps the setup clean and simple for a straightforward bind-and-fly experience.

Pick the video link that matches your setup—Analog, Walksnail Avatar, or DJI O4—each with its own latency and range tradeoffs.
