Core Product Highlights

GT8 folds down to a compact 13 × 8.9 × 7.2 cm package — small enough to slip into a bag for travel days, outdoor trips, and weekend practice. At a listed drone weight of 177g, it stays lighter than larger GPS aerial models while opening into a full 28.5 × 26 cm flying body.
- 177g lightweight drone body
- Folded size: 13 × 8.9 × 7.2 cm
- Unfolded size: 28.5 × 26 × 7.2 cm
- Travel-ready foldable design
4K Standard or 6K HD Camera Options
GT8 is available in two camera configurations: the 4K standard version and the 6K HD option for higher-resolution still capture. Both versions use WiFi image transmission with a listed image return distance of about 30–50m and a 90° electrically adjustable lens angle.
- 4K standard / 6K HD camera options
- WiFi image transmission
- Listed image return distance: approx. 30–50m
- 90° electrically adjustable camera angle
- Gesture photo and app control functions supported
Obstacle Avoidance Support for Practice Flights
Obstacle avoidance support helps reduce collision risk during short-range flying practice — a useful safety layer for beginners learning basic control in open indoor areas or calm outdoor spaces. It’s one of the features that sets GT8 apart from simpler optical flow models.
- Obstacle avoidance support for basic practice
- Reduced collision risk during short-range flying
- Useful for beginner training sessions
- Best used in open and calm environments
Up to 20-Minute Listed Flight Time
The 3.7V 1300mAh rechargeable battery provides up to 20 minutes of listed flight time per battery under suitable conditions. This gives GT8 longer practice sessions than typical entry-level optical flow models. Actual flight time may vary depending on speed mode, wind, camera use, battery condition, and operating habits.
- 3.7V 1300mAh drone battery
- Up to 20 minutes listed flight time per battery
- Approx. 90 minutes charging time
- Longer practice runtime than basic toy-level mini drones
Screen Remote for Direct Viewing
The built-in screen remote lets you view the flight image directly from the controller — no phone mounting required. This makes setup more convenient than phone-only operation and gives beginners a more integrated screen-control experience during short-range flights.
- Built-in screen display on the remote
- Direct viewing from the remote controller
- No phone mount needed for normal use
- Useful for short-range live-view practice
1503 Brushless Motor with 2.4G Control
GT8 uses a 1503 brushless motor rated at 4000KV with a 6A ESC. The brushless setup gives smoother power output and longer motor life than basic brushed toy-level drones, paired with 2.4G control on a 6-channel system.
- 1503 brushless motor
- 4000KV motor rating
- 6A ESC configuration
- 2.4G control frequency, 6-channel system
- Fast / slow speed modes
Anti-Shake Support for Clearer Basic Footage
The camera system is tuned for steadier basic footage during casual flying. It helps users capture simple aerial views with better framing during short-range practice, while staying within an entry-level screen-control drone category — anti-shake support, not professional gimbal stabilization.
- Designed for steadier basic aerial viewing
- Useful for beginner camera practice
- Works with short-range WiFi image viewing
- Anti-shake, not professional gimbal stabilization
Zoom Framing for Simple Aerial Views
The zoom shooting feature helps users frame subjects during basic aerial viewing. It is useful for casual shooting practice, scenery framing, and learning how to compose simple images from above.
- Zoom framing support for casual shooting
- Useful for basic scenery composition
- Designed for short-range aerial viewing
- Best for beginner camera practice

Final Summary
GT8 is a 177g foldable brushless optical flow drone built around longer practice flights and a flexible camera setup. Its strongest combination — foldable portability, obstacle avoidance support, optical flow hovering, up to 20 minutes of listed flight time, and a choice between 4K standard and 6K HD camera versions — makes it a step up from simpler entry-level optical flow models.
If you’d rather have a propeller-guarded body for indoor training, see our 143g brushless optical flow drone. For an immersive first-person experience with VR flying glasses on the same brushless platform, check the Aeri 100. If you need GPS positioning and outdoor return support instead, browse the GPS drones collection, or see other aerial models in the camera drones category.
FAQ
Is GT8 suitable for beginners?
Yes. GT8 is well suited to beginners who want a foldable optical flow drone with longer practice runtime, obstacle avoidance support, altitude hold, and simple short-range flight functions.
Does GT8 have GPS?
No. GT8 is a 2.4G optical flow drone, not a GPS drone. If you need GPS return, GPS positioning, or long-distance outdoor flight support, choose a model from the GPS drone range instead.
How long can GT8 fly on one battery?
The listed flight time is up to 20 minutes per battery under suitable conditions. Actual flight time may vary depending on speed mode, wind, camera use, battery condition, and operating habits.
What camera options are available for GT8?
GT8 comes in two versions: the 4K standard version and the 6K HD option. Both use WiFi image transmission for short-range live viewing on the built-in screen remote.
How is GT8 different from the 143g optical flow drone?
Both share the same 1503 brushless motor and optical flow platform. GT8 is the foldable version, with obstacle avoidance support, up to 20 minutes of listed flight time, and a choice of 4K or 6K cameras. The 143g model uses an enclosed propeller-guard body tuned for indoor training rather than travel.
How far can GT8 fly?
The listed remote control distance is approximately 100m. The listed WiFi image transmission distance is approximately 30–50m under suitable conditions. GT8 is built for short-range practice rather than long-distance flight.
