NewBeeDrone LionBee 3 Inch Long Range ELRS AIO Developer Kit
The NewBeeDrone LionBee is a 3 inch micro long-range FPV platform that runs on a single 18650 Li-ion cell, the same type of cell used in torches and power banks. That gives around 15 minutes of cruising on a 3000mAh cell, far longer than a typical micro on LiPo. It's sold as a developer kit for pilots and tinkerers who want to build, experiment and tune their own long-range micro.
The flight controller sits on the battery chamber for vibration resistance and efficiency, and a 0.5mm brass conduction path handles high-discharge 18650 cells.
Why pilots choose the LionBee
- Long flights on cheap cells: about 15 minutes flying or 20 minutes hovering on one 3000mAh 18650
- Swap cells in seconds: two modular battery chambers with brass terminals included
- GPS included: M10Q GPS module with mount and cable for GPS Rescue and position on your OSD
- Powerful brain: AT32F435 288MHz flight controller with ICM42688P gyro and built-in OSD
- Range-ready video and control: SPI ELRS 2.4GHz receiver and a temperature-controlled 25–800mW VTX
- Protected electronics: AM32 ESC on a 32-bit MCU with full reverse-polarity protection
