Frequently Asked Questions :
Q1: Do I need a separate remote controller to fly the Pluto 1.2?
Ans: No, a separate RC radio transmitter is not required. The Pluto 1.2 broadcasts its own WiFi hotspot and is controlled directly through the Pluto Controller Smartphone App.
Q2: Is this drone suitable for absolute beginners with no coding experience?
Ans: Yes! Beginners can start by flying the drone manually using the app and then progress to learning programming using PlutoBlocks—a visual drag-and-drop coding interface—before moving on to advanced C++ or Python code.
Q3: Can I attach a camera or extra sensors to the Pluto 1.2?
Ans: The base Pluto 1.2 kit relies on its 15-gram payload capacity for add-ons. While it does not come with a camera in the box, the ecosystem is highly modular, allowing you to add lightweight digital sensors, servos, or WiFi camera modules (sold separately) for advanced robotics projects.
