Banggood just announced the Eachine Wizard X220S which is an upgraded version of the super popular Eachine Wizard 220. The original Wizard is already a very proven design with great performance and durability.
The New Eachine Wizard X220S is most likely the best price-quality option on the market to start in the world of racing drones. It’s a drone that sells ready to fly, for those who do not want to think about putting together their own drone, In thinking of initial configurations, for those who want for a very good price to have the best technology can bring us in a racing drone. Its last version Eachine Wizard X220 has liked a lot and is one of the most popular RTF drones of the moment, and its update is much better.
Design
The original Wizard X220 frame is solid and sturdy, however, they did make some changes on the X220S. At a 220mm size, it comes with carbon fiber arms that are 4mm thick and 15mm wide. Eachine opted to reduce the arm width by a whole 10mm (almost half!) in comparison to the Wizard X220 as they no longer have the ESC’s mounted on them. This should reduce both the weight and drag to produce more speed; something I have no problem with at all! Hopefully, this reduction doesn’t come at a cost of toughness or we may see more broken arms. Time will tell. The new version of Eachine’s Wizard X220S is about to happen. Failing to display a hyper trend, this device favors efficiency and sobriety. Its carbon frame is in “almost” X, with a diagonal of 220mm, with arms 4 mm thick and 1.5 cm wide, narrower than those of the previous two models of the X220. The motors are MN2206 to 2300KV for Eachine triple 5051 propellers, with a 4 in 1 ESC of 30A BLheli_S. A nice equipment for 3S or 4S batteries, and compatible 5S.
Features
To begin one of its major improvements and something that most certainly have not realized is in the flight controller, it will house an F3 flight controller to use an F4 chip. The frame or frame is the same in very strong carbon fiber, but everything else is updated. Is a drone that will give us much more power and hairiness as it is shipped with a 1500mAh 4S battery. Comes with video transmitter in more channels where we go from 48 channels to 72 channels, also its FPV camera has 100 additional lines of resolution where before we had a camera of 700TVL and the new Wizard X220S has an FPV camera of 800TVL. Also as a gift, we are given a frame for action cameras type GoPro Session, 10 pairs of spare propellers of three blades 5051.
We also have technological improvements as well as a new flight controller with an F4 chip, it is the FPV antenna with which comes the drone, comes with the new type of antenna Pagoda and in addition, it comes protected against impacts. The engines are slightly increased in size since we went from 2205 to have 2206 engines the two handling 2300KV. To finish the technical description of the improvements we have a radio receiver also improved, where the new Eachine Wizard X220S comes with the FlySky iRangeX iR-A8S receiver which can handle more channels up to 8 in PPM mode and up to 18 in the I-BUS mode and better reception sensitivity of -92 dBm.
