I am really fascinated by these kinds of quads

Can anyone point me to any link to something like this in India? Or Is anyone willing to sell something like this? Essentially micro with brushless motors so that I can fly indoors. Minis and Regular sized one need open space to be flown. I am in a space crisis.

That combo seems kind of outdated and I am not too sure about the performance. You can build your own indoor micro pretty easily. Smaller brushless racers seem to be getting pretty popular these days with a lot of 120-130 class frames. Here are some of the parts you can consider using:

  • Frame- RotorX Atom, Sputnik 117, Shendrones Shrieker/ Butters, FlexRC Owl. There are a lot more if you look around. There is also a RotorX RTF/ ARF package as well as a new, even smaller Sputnik frame
  • Motors- Small, high kv motors such as 1104/1105/1306/1407 3200kv+ depending on which frame and props you plan to run and how powerful you wan the quad to be.
  • ESC- Small, lightweight ESCs such as the XM20A/XM10A depending on your motors
  • FC- Micro FC like the Afromini or CC3D Atom or SPRacingF3 Mini
  • Micro FPV setup

Especially since you plan to fly indoors, a frame with prop guards is important (like the Owl and Butters). However, note that smaller != cheaper and this kind of build may cost you as much as or even more than larger quads. Also, building such tiny quads can be quite challenging. Another popular option appears to be the Blade Inductrix BNF/ RTF with a micro FPV setup and upgraded motors/ batteries. You can search online for Tiny WHOOP and Blade Inductrix FPV. However, the Inductrix is brushed. I built a CJMCU micro brushed quad for indoor flying. However, the motors are fragile and it is terribly underpowered. I think the battery is damaged because it does not even lift off anymore. I am thinking of selling it now :P
