I recently bought a Blackout. I considered a QAV250, but I like the Blackout better for the following reasons:
- I really like the small footprint of the Blackout. I run 5 inch props, so it's only 220 mm motor to motor.
- I wasn't sure about the one piece design of the QAV250 arms.
- I prefer the PDB on the Blackout. I was a little concerned about landing right on the PDB on the QAV250 (I wouldn't have put any landing gear on).
- I like the top mounted battery. On frames with the battery mounted on the same plate as the FC and other electronics, there is a possibility of the battery sliding forward in a crash.
- The isolated camera mount is included with the Blackout kit. It's an optional accessory for the QAV250.
I think the Strider looks interesting. I'm a little confused about the differences between the Strider Mini v1.1 and the Strider Flex though.
A couple other quads have caught my attention recently too -- the Hovership Zuul Superbeast and the Birdseye KillerBEE.
