This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Propel Star Wars Battle Drones for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
From the moment we first heard they were coming out with Star Wars Battle Drones we were excited. We have several remote control helicopters and were thrilled to be trying out not only a Star Wars Drone, but a quadcopter at that!
From the moment we opened the box the surprises started. I caught this one on video. As soon as we pulled the lid off of the box, the music and noises started.
At each stage of putting the Drone together, there were more noises and sounds to enjoy. Darth Vader told us we couldn’t fully join the dark side until we inserted batteries, and the emperor encouraged us as we tried our hand at landing the first time.
Nothing was cooler than flying the Star Wars Battle Quads with epic Star Wars music playing from speakers on the remote and the realistic *pew pew pew* sounds when you shoot in battle mode.
You can see footage of our first outdoor flight here:
The Star Wars Drones have a lot of impressive features. The infared lasers are encoded to transfer to an app so that you can battle other Star Wars Drones. Each drone has it’s own shot counter and when you’ve been hit 3 times it auto lands your quadcopter so there’s no arguing about which shots were fatal.
They fly just over 35 miles and hour. It has 3 speed settings and a reverse propulsion blade that allows it to achieve those high speeds! We were impressed at how hight the drone could go too! We couldn’t measure the height in the backyard, but you can see in the video it was getting up there really well!
We had pretty intense winds, but the Star Wars Battle Quads stood up to the wind and it didn’t ruin our ability to fly.
We had the T-65 X-Wing Star Fighter, but there is also the 74-Z Speeder Bike and the Tie Advanced X-1 to choose from! It would be so much fun to battle them or just watch them all race and fly together!
This amazing collection from Propel in Parnership with Disney has launched just in time for the holidays. If you are looking for a gift that is sure to impress, this is IT!!! Star Wars Battle Quads are available
The last part, but one of the most important is the battery. They incorporate the batteries thematically, on the bike the batteries are seats and the Tie Fighter’s fits in as part of the ship too. These fully charge in 10 minutes but charge to 90% in just 6-8 minutes. Fully charged allows 6-8 minutes of fly time, which is AWESOME.
This is by far the coolest gift of the season! They stay true to the film and have state of the art technology that is sure to excited every Star Wars fan!
