How the Baby Ape Pro V3 FPV drone works

You unpack the drone, remote control and battery. Charge the 3S 500 mAh battery. Turn on the remote control, then the drone. The ELRS auto-binding establishes the connection. The Caddx ANT camera transmits video to analog glasses. VTX at 1200 mW provides a range of 1.3 km. You control the drone and receive a real-time video feed.
