Drozd Blackbird
Anyone know much about these birds? I have one I bought before they stopped shipping them that is basically new from Drozdmax with the 1200 auto board. I am thinking of selling it but have only seen a few crazy prices for them out on amazon ($750-999 used). Any information on value would be appreciated. I really nearly forgot I had it but was cleaning my closet. 😆 I only shot it a few times and then focused on PCPs. It was setup for HPA.
I posted this on GTA and was offered $550 in less than five minutes. I suspect it is worth more.
Thanks In Advance

Mine is gone. Look yourself. 😆
I do still have the original yellow bumble bee version, while your out looking around see what its worth now a days…
No mods done to this one, uses little Co2 carts and holds 30 bb’s or so.
Thanks
I am glad it is gone. It ricocheted too many BBs back towards the house when you turned it up. It was mainly fun shooting at flying things off of the deck like a flock of starlings.
Yes – with HPA the power is quite a bit higher than CO2. I think it was over 500 FPS and 20 BBs a second can do a lot of damage.
With HPA, longer barrel and more voltage you can easily get over 800 fps. Some guys even went supersonic with their guns. Even 12 fpe and 20 shots / second is rather devastating. I once took a magpie and it was mostly blood and feathers after a 1 sec or so burst.
I was into this gun several years ago. I was one of those idiots the pushed the heck out of the thing, the first survivor to throw regulated 2000psi at it. 1300-1400psi was considered the safety zone.
Fun gun, but the accuracy just was not there even with a longer barrel, just no accuracy. The most fun I had with the thing was giving it to friends kids and tossing a can out in the back yard and letting them go wild. No value of its worth now but I sold my complete setup 4-5 years ago for 450.
First flights on the quad today. I didn’t know at full power the blades can spin over 25,000 rpm. Those babies really sing up close.
I had it doing figure eights after the first hovering flight. It is very stable in the first flight mode (as set by the OpenPilot software). That Taranis X9D is an exceptional TX. Still waiting for video TX to use headset.
Same to you. I am looking for something small this time too – no larger than my Cricket Compact. Maybe a pistol. Not sure yet.
You are welcome. Happy holidays and more importantly happy shooting. Oh and good luck on selling that scope, I thought about it for the last 15 minutes, but really don’t need one until i get an new gun which looks like 3-5 months cause i just can’t make up my mind.
Thanks. Outstanding.
You have a DJI Inspire? Now that is cool. $$$ Please post if you have any good videos. I noticed in pretty much all of the Headplay videos folks are using the thicker foam face seals. I need to put them on.
Very Cool Secoda, I have a white pair i use with my inspire 1 love them. The do make me sweat a little though, need to add a fan or vent holes.
😆 Very nice on the Walkera.
This just arrived. It is cool. I have to fit the face seals and mount them yet. Just charged the battery. They have a very sensitive Rangefinder 5.8ghz video receiver integrated but you can also use anything else to kick up the range.
Here was a 1st gen/prototype set from last March using a Phantom 2 at night over a city. 😆 No wonder the FAA is getting nervous.
Put it up there for $1200 and see what happens!
Well I still have money in my pocket. Got $250 and a Walkera Devo 7 transmitter! :rofl:
I don’t think my IZH 46M Match Pistol is being imported any longer either. I really like that gun for dragonfly hunting but I have Steve’s pump upgrade on it. I guess I need to settle on a price soon and post the bird. 😉 The guy that offered me $550 got another gun with a WTB on GTA.
