Nick Burns has taken the DeepSpace Seeker3 for a spin, and it seems this three-inch quad is quite the little overachiever. Boasting an F7 flight controller and a GPS module that actually works—eventually—it promises impressive punch and endurance while keeping its weight under 250g with the right battery. Imagine that: a tiny flying machine ready to make your day, all while being lighter than your average tea kettle.
In terms of specs, think 1505 4000KV motors paired with a robust 40A ESC, and yes, it can even handle the likes of the DJI O3 or O4 stacks without breaking a sweat. But don’t get too comfy waiting for that GPS lock; first-time connections can take a bit. Pro tip: keep it powered between flights to speed things up. You’ll be raving about its long flight times (hello, 14+ minutes with a 3000mAh pack) before you know it, provided you don’t mind a bit of faffing about.
The build quality is rather commendable too, with replaceable arms and a few quirks that might leave you shaking your head—namely, the glued plastic protectors that tend to lose their grip. A little acetate tape will sort that out nicely, but at least you won’t be stuck with a drone that looks like it’s been through a hedge backwards.
Is the Seeker3 worth the slightly higher price tag? If you fancy a quad that prioritises flight time and responsiveness, then possibly, yes. After all, who wouldn’t want to fly something that doesn’t just tick the boxes but dances on top of them?
