It allows users to check the drone’s top speed, or how far or high it flew.

You do not have to tune any of the flight controls before flying the Eachine Blade 185 drone. For a more enjoyable FPV experience, you must use a pair of Eachine 007 VR glasses and you can start flying your drone. It can fly at high speeds and can avoid obstacles while doing so. Although it is not as fast and as powerful compared to other racing drones in the market, it is quite agile and easy to steer. When we tested the Eachine Blade 185 drone, we were able to fly it through the trees with a speed of 30 miles per hour and it is quite manageable and it can go faster but make sure you are comfortable doing so.

User Reviews
According to Luke, the Eachine Blade 185 drone is a great racing drone if you want to try out racing drones in your backyard. It is safe to use as you can go up to 30 mph or you can also use it in the park or an open space where you can race other pilots. It is easy to control and it is an affordable drone so I suggest that you purchase the RTF version. Although it is not the fastest racing drone in the market, it is a great choice if you want to know the ropes on how to race a drone. It comes with an FPV camera, but you have to purchase a monitor so you can view it if you are using the FPV mode. It has an onscreen display and it works great. I just wish it hasanobstacle detection and avoidance system and a return to home feature.
