FEATURES VIDEO QUALITY:
To improve video quality, the X830-S features precision dynamically balanced motors that are rarely offered in multi-rotors. Balanced motors greatly reduce the common vibration problem that causes poor video quality. Due to high rotor speed, the exceptional vibration dampening X830-S super structure is the key in reducing harmonic vibrations. The X830-S is designed with video quality in mind. It utilizes aluminum tubes and ABS body instead of carbon fiber that generates interference, causing wave lines on the video. Example of video distortion, notice the word "COUNTRY". Goto http://www.wowhobbies.com/250seinstruction-2.aspx 
The X-830-S video are sharp with no wave lines and they also have no jello effect caused by high frequency vibration generated from unbalanced motors.

FLIGHT STABILITY:
Turbo Ace pre-configures the X830-S so it is most wind resistant and at the same time gives you maximum auto stabilization by utilizing 2 custom preprogrammed flight modes, cruise and hover. This type of custom configuration often takes days to tune in a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) kits. 
 
DURABILITY:
The X830-S dynamically balanced motors have been re-engineered to take multiple mild crashes. Instead of round or screw mount propellers, X830-S propellers are rectangular key mounted on the neck of the motor bell which eliminates propeller slippage and significantly reduces the probability of accidental propeller dislodge. Offering another benefit, this updated rectangular key mounted design completely envelopes a thicker motor shaft to prevent it from bending in minor crashes. Exposed motor shafts in all older designs are especially prone to damage and slightly bent motor shafts are hard to detect.
  
MAINTENANCE:
The X830-S is extremely easy to maintain and cost less to operate. Entry quad buyers are often surprised by the high cost of maintaining a multi-rotor helicopter. Each failure or crash can cost hundreds of dollars. The X830-S is based on a maintenance friendly design. Independent modularized components can be easily removed and replaced. Connectors are strategically placed to simplify disassembly and reassembly. Customized CNC components offers better alignment while reducing the amount of parts used. And due to larger volume, X830-S parts are more readily available at lower cost. For example: Instead of having to replace a 4-in-1 ESC that cost over $150, the X830-S ESCs, at a small fraction of the cost, is easier to keep a spare on hand. High tensile strength spring loaded connectors that stand up to repetitive insertions is a lifesaver when it comes to trouble shooting and change motors or ESCs. In most cases you are no longer required to disassemble and pull wires through the narrow boom. 
 
COOLING: The X830-S is highly reliable, it uses four 35A ESC with cooling algorism that can carry heavy payload with super low motor/ESC temperature. The unique placement of the ESC on the X830-S is under the central hub of the quad where they are protected and well ventilated. The central location greatly reduces the chance of ESC damage in a crash or hard landing. The X830-S also does not use an internal cooling fan, the electronics are cooled naturally by the rotating flight propellers. The improved cover design features multiple vent holes keeping the flight controller running cool at all times.
 
POWER and PAYLOAD: Turbo Ace motors are build with high efficiency stators and they are over 20% more power than its Xaircrasft brothers. Please take into consideration your flight time, performance, pilot ability and safety when loading up your X830-S. The X830 can reasonably carry up to about 2 LBs. However, for better flight time and performance we recommend that you keep the payload under 1.2 LB. When tied to a reverse scale, the X830-S has an amazing lifting capacity of 5 LBs, one of the strongest quadcopter on the market today. A quadcopter lifting or payload capacity and be misleading. Putting 5 LBs on a quadcopter with a capacity to lift 5 LBs will basically neutralize it's ability to fly. Putting 3 LBs on the same helicopter  will cause significant instability making it very difficult to control the quad. Under no circumstance should any quadcopters be operating close to maximum pulling capacity. There are numerous factors to consider when calculating payload - for example flight time, battery size/output, temperature, altitude, wind velocity, stability, safety and the ability of the operator to pilot the quadcopter in adverse conditions. The best answer is to start with more conservative payloads and work you way up. Always be aware your surroundings and make sure you have ample of open space below your quadcopter. If you are still in the training stage, it might be advisable to operate only in calm conditions.
 
LOW RADIO NOISE: The X830-S extension arms are made of heavier duty 12mm aluminum instead of the 10mm carbon rods. Unlike carbon arms in the X720, the aluminum arms are stiffer reducing harmonic vibration, will not have fiber splits and carry low radio frequency interference. This translates to longer flight range, and low radio noise for better video image. STRUCTURE and WEIGHT: The X830-S is designed with power efficiency in mind. This means that every gram is accounted for during the build. The motor mount, central hub went through tension, compression, bending, torsion and shear engineering to obtain striation integrity and weight savings. The propellers are double sided key instead of screw mount which greatly improve reliability.
 
EXPANDABILITY:
The X830-S also offers expandability both in software and hardware using XAircraft proven reliable FC1212-S flight controller upgraded to the latest version 1.33.
Online software update is free and there is now a wide selection parts, upgrades and accessories including batteries, telemetry modules, camera mounts, shock mounts and skid landings. Also in the pipeline, the upcoming Xaircraft GPS module and compass which offers faster satellite lock with improved precision.

Among the items that you may need with the X830-S purchase are as follow:
 
Blade balancer- We highly recommend that you balance all new blades for smoother operation.http://www.wowhobbies.com/mageticbladebalancercompletesetforwalkerav120d01v120d02v100d014g646cb10043b4g3andmostothermicrohelic-4.aspx
 
Mercalli stabilization post editing software

Optional magnetic base for higher accuracy in balancing the blades
 
Rubber, carbon fiber, ABS plastic CA glue to bond the "T" connector to skid tube and to repair any damage to the ABS plastic casing
 
Longer flight time battery
 
 
Faster charger. If you have purchase RTF, it comes with a charger but it take hours to charge a large battery. This charger take only about one hour to charge even the 5300mah battery.
 
Camera Mount (1-Axis): This camera mount comes with a tilt servo and you can use the on board gyro on the flight control to auto-stablize which is explained in the manual.

Camera Mount (3-Axis): By far the #1 choice, this Wow customized Alware camera mount has been adapted to fit the X830-S to minimize vibrations. Wow has evaluated at least half a dozen promising candidates and this is best combination of a light weight setup with very effective 3-Axis controls (pan, roll & tilt) for smaller cameras. For ). For better precision and heavier cameras, you can eliminate the roll-axis on a stock Alware 3-axis camera mount. Since most videographers prefer the roll-axis, Wow has also provided another more useful option which eliminates the pan-axis instead of the roll-axis. Because the X830 yaw has the same effect as panning, one can easily achieve 3-axis results with a 2-axis camera mount with controls on the roll-axis and tilt-axis. A tall landing gear is required to accommodate this flexible 3-axis camera mount and the following link includes both.
