Firstly, considering the price of this drone, I will say it’s reasonably okay. But considering the quality and the price its seems abit expensive but operation isn’t too bad for a beginner and I think it can be better but not too bad.
For this price, it’s not the most cheapest drone, however, it’s very well made and lightweight which I like. In terms of it’s flight, it’s a standard drone with usual features. I have flown different drones in the past so was fairly comfortable in its operations and maneuver. I like the single button return mode too which is very helpful and crucial now a days in drones.
This drone comes with 2 batteries which is brilliant and these are rechargeable. However, you need 3x AA standard batteries to use in the controller. Would have preferred if similar rechargeable batteries were also provided for the controller. I flew the drone for around 30 mins and it was fine. I also took it to around 80 meters with no issues. The camera quality isn’t too great but still fairly decent. There was no flickering and very little lag when viewing the video.
The drone is also easy to carry as it folds nicely and can be stored into its case. The remote controller has quite a few buttons and I am not yet aware of all the functions available. Another good thing about this drone is as its fairly lightweight, it doesn’t require registering with CAA.
All in all, it’s a decent drone especially for beginners and with some practice it can be a lot of fun. Given its features and operation, I would rate it as 4 stars.
As an entry level drone described as beginner friendly this item lives up to that spec in some ones and not others.
On first impression you get the feeling that the lightweight construction of the drone and controller are cheap and as a result will not be very durable.
The drone itself is powered by a rechargeable battery pack of which you get 2, which I found a brilliant bonus. However the controller requires AA batteries (x3) which you have to source yourself.
The drone battery packs are recharged via the old style usb connectors. Considering that USB-C cables are common place these days you would of thought these would be the connector of choice. But no.
Despite being labelled beginner friendly there is a definite learning curve when first using the drone but I guess this would be the case for any new drone user.
Also I found I either wasn’t setting the drone up correctly or some of the stated features didn’t really seem to work. The obstacle avoiding one springs to the front of my mind (LOL).
The camera attached to the drone is of average quality and lacks image stabilization. Due to this you get the impression the camera quality is worse than it actually is. I wouldn’t say its 1080p though. More like 720p and possibility upscaled.
Overall this is a half decent drone for experimenting if ever you’ve considered buying one but the hefty price tags have put you off.
PROS: Rechargeable batteries for the drone. / Spare rotor blades / Decent flight time on 1 charge
CONS: Lightweight construction / No provided batteries for the controller / App issues /
Really happy with this drone. Bought it for me and the kids to play with. Controls work well and does everything its meant to.
30 minutes was about right for battery life and 100 metre range seemed accurate.
Would recommend as good starter done at this price level. And the kids loved it!!
