Functional FPV drone weighing under 249g
iFlight Defender 25
is a lightweight and stable
drone
of the cinewhoop type, designed for flights in places requiring particular caution. Thanks to a take-off weight not exceeding
249g
, the device complies with many aviation regulations, making it a practical choice for recreational and semi-professional use. This model integrates the advanced
DJI O4
system, offering high-quality
HD
live view and the ability to record video material in
4K
resolution. It is a
BNF
(Bind-and-Fly)
drone
, which allows for quick preparation for
flight
after pairing with a compatible controller, such as the
iFlight Commando 8
.
Blitz D25 F7 AIO design and integrated propeller guards
The construction of the
defender25
model is based on a frame with durable
propeller guards
, which protect both the device and its surroundings during
FPV
flights indoors. At the heart of the electronics is the advanced
Blitz D25 F7 AIO
controller. The
AIO
(All-In-One) design integrates the
F7
FC and efficient ESCs on a single board, which has made it possible to significantly reduce weight and optimise the space inside the housing. This configuration ensures stable control and adequate power for the drive powered by
4S
battery packs. The
defender 25
design has been carefully considered so that servicing and replacing components are as simple as possible for the user.
DJI O4 Air Unit Pro system and 4K video quality
The
4S HD
version has been equipped with the latest
DJI O4 Air Unit Pro
, which redefines the standards of digital transmission in
drones
of this class. This system provides a crystal-clear
HD
image transmitted directly to goggles such as the
Goggles 2
or newer
DJI
models. The camera allows stable
4K
footage to be recorded while maintaining a wide field of view, which is crucial in
FPV
productions. Thanks to image stabilisation and a high bitrate, the
iflight defender 25
is a suitable alternative to larger units, while retaining agility similar to
DJI Avata
-type devices, but in a more open and configurable form.
Innovative power system and 900mAh battery
A unique feature of the
defender25
is the dedicated
battery
mounting system, which eliminates the need for traditional Velcro straps. A special latch mechanism makes it easy to swap cells quickly, which is very helpful during intensive
FPV
sessions. The user can choose packs with a capacity of
550mAh
to keep the weight as low as possible, or
900mAh
to extend time in the air. The set also includes an
adapter
that allows batteries to be charged with standard model chargers. The entire
4S
power system has been optimised for motor efficiency, resulting in smooth and predictable flight.
Additional features and GPS safety
Despite its small size,
iflight
has ensured that the drone is equipped with a
GPS
module. This function allows the device’s position to be monitored in real time and supports rescue systems in
Betaflight
software, increasing safety during outdoor flights. The
drone
also has a built-in
ELRS
(ExpressLRS) receiver, which, together with the
Commando 8 ELRS
radio, provides a stable control link over long distances. The
Defender 25
is a tailored solution for people who need equipment ready to work in difficult spaces, where every gram of take-off weight and
FPV
control precision matters.
