ARTF Tarot 120 Micro FPV Quadcopter with Naze (TL120H1)

Mini quads such as this little Tarot 120 appeal to beginners and experienced drone racers alike. They are more affordable than the bigger series quads and are yet are just as much fun to fly. In fact, due to their small size, in some ways you can actually do more with them. Gaps that were too small to venture through with your larger quad will suddenly seem a whole lot bigger. Even if you do crash whilst trying to take a risky shortcut, small quads don't weigh a lot so they are hard to break. Be warned, flying between tree branches and under tight obstacles is seriously addictive.

The new Tarot 120 mini quad is the smaller brother to our best selling quad, the Tarot 130. It packs all of the same components as the Tarot 130, namely 4000Kv motors, BLHeli ESCs, Naze32 and FPV gear etc. just into a slightly smaller frame, so it's slightly lighter. The main difference between the two is that the 120 is designed with under battery mounting, whereas the 130 has the battery mounting on top. There isn't really anything between them, it's just a matter of taste.

It has got high Kv motors paired with 6A BHeli ESCs and 3020 props; together they deliver responsive power and plenty of punch.

The flight controller is Tarot's version of the popular Naze32 and Cleanflight compatible. Best of all, it arrives pre-configured and pre-tuned, making it truly Almost Ready to Fly (ARTF). If you are using a SBUS receiver you only need to plug it in and you are away. If you are using a PPM or PWM Rx you just need to change a setting in Cleanflight. The Ready to Fly (RTF) version also comes pre-configured and tuned. It comes with the fantastic FlySky Fs-i6 radio and a micro PPM receiver already installed, ready for you to fly straight away. The FC supports voltage monitoring, so its buzzer can be configured to sound when you need to land and it can also be setup as a handy lost model alarm.

On the FPV side of things, it features are 300mW 5.8GHx Tx which is good for a range of 400m plus, and a wide-angle camera which is on a tiltable mount.

Thanks to its small crossover size, it can be flown indoors and outdoors, so now you can fly all year round.

Important: If you get the following error message when connecting to Cleanflight (WARNING: the firmware on this device needs upgrading to a newer version. Use CLI for backup before flashing..') it means the FC is running earlier firmware than the latest Cleanflight GUI version >2.0. Instead of reflashing the FC which is difficult for this board, please install Cleanflight version 1.2.4. Download here / Instructions here.
