Graupner Droneball Sweeper

Crashproof fun for everyone

- Gerry Yarrish

If you are the kind of pilot who can appreciate the saying: “And now for something completely different,” then think you’ll get a kick out of this new drone from Graupner USA. The new Drone ball Sweeper redefines the term “crashproof” with its integrated protective cage. About the size of a basketball, the Sweeper comes with all he major components installed. All you ave to do is assemble and attach the spherical guard, and charge the battery pack. Let’s take a closer look.

HIGHLIGHTS

With its propellers, battery pack, motors, frame, and electronics all securely protected by its rugged and flexible guard, the Sweeper is a great choice for anyone wanting an out-of-the-ordinary drone. Advertised as a quad copter that does not require any prior flying skills, the Sweeper is a great choice for all piloting skill levels. And after putting it through its paces, I am inclined to agree with that statement. The heart of this quad copter is its newly designed S1038 flight controller, which, when combined with its 4-in-1 30A speed control and powerful motors, provides excellent flight performance and stability. The Sweeper can be flown in either mild or wild flight modes, depending on your level of experience. It has a wide flight envelope that will even excite the most seasoned drone pilot.
