Flywoo also includes a variety of battery holders, accommodating different sizes from 550 to 850 mAh, although some adjustments might be necessary for a snug fit.

The flight times varied with different battery sizes: 5 minutes with a 1000 mAh, 4 minutes and 40 seconds with a 750 mAh, and 3 minutes 50 seconds with a 550 mAh battery.

Indoor and Outdoor Performance

The FlyLens 85 handles indoor environments with ease, although it is notably loud. Outdoors, it performs well even in windy conditions, maintaining stability and offering smooth footage with its Rocksteady feature. However, the camera's angle is limited by the mounting screws, which might require adjustments for those seeking a steeper angle.
