The body doesn't look particularly strong, but being more compact makes it feel tougher than the Typhoon. The Chroma weighs in at 2.9 pounds (1.3kg) and a chunk of that is the 6,300mAh battery that locks into the rear of the chassis. If you can live without those features in favor of things like a nice remote control, a more travel-friendly design and readily available parts and accessories - not to mention good customer service - put the Chroma 4K on your short list. This allows you to fly more easily indoors and helps with stability when the drones are within several feet of the ground. Those two as well as Parrot's Bebop 2 also have visual positioning systems made up of cameras and ultrasonic sensors that allow them to hover in place without a GPS lock.

Now, while the Chroma has its fair share of advantages, it lacks the autonomous navigation features others in this range offer, namely DJI's Phantom 3 Advanced and Professional quadcopters.
All of the pieces and the Yuneec ST10+ controller will all fit into a large messenger bag or backpack. The color-coded self-tightening propellers spin off easily, the landing gear simply unclip, and if you disconnect the gimbal's power cable and release another clip in front of the gimbal, you can slide the whole assembly right off.
The Chroma's smaller size and the fact that it can be quickly broken down makes it very travel friendly. The Chroma is much smaller than the Typhoon and is closer in size to DJI's Phantom 3 models the Chroma's diagonal motor-to-motor distance is 400mm compared to 390mm for the Phantom and 510mm for the Typhoon. Priced at $1,200 (£1,100, AU$2,000), the biggest differences are in the actual design. It shares all the same capabilities, has the same remote controller with a built-in touchscreen and the same 4K-resolution camera and three-axis gimbal for stabilization. The Blade Chroma 4K from Horizon Hobby is essentially a redesigned version of the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K, which I liked quite a bit.
