This is my first good quality drone. Camera quality is good and the 2 axis gimbal does well at keeping the camera stable in flight. The up and down control for the camera is really really slow which is a bit frustrating when trying to set up shots or adjust in flight. I also noticed some shaking in the shots if I adjust the camera angle mid flight. Camera has a digital zoom that does ok but as with most digital zooms you sacrifice some quality of the image the more you zoom in. One feature I like is the ability to view your photos and videos on your phone right away after your flight ( or mid flight if you are brave). The footage recorded to your phone is at a reduced quality but the full quality footage is available off the micro as card on the drone. Low light / night recording is not great… however ever you really should not be flying at night anyway. Also to have a camera that could do low light or night shots would greatly add to the cost of the drone. The transmitter ( remote) is easy to hold and is not overwhelming with s bunch of buttons and switches ( this could be good or bad… I’m used to lots more on my transmitter being as I also fly rc planes and helicopters). For someone that has flown a lot of rc’s the controls will take some getting used to. The controls are very forgiving… you can do full stick movements in any flight mode and the drone doesn’t react crazy. I keep trying to fly with very small control inputs and the drone really doesn’t react till I do what seems very excessive stick inputs ( good for new pilots but feels wrong to someone used to planes and helicopters). Flight time is about 15-25 minutes realistically depending on wind, temperature, and how you are flying the drone. No need to worry though because if the battery gets to low the drone will auto return to home (place you took off). Overall I would say this is a good step toward the professional level drones that won’t break the bank compared to the high end name brand drones.

Sometimes it would go around in circles by itself a little weird, just for recreation

I was finally able to test the drone out today. Overall, it went well. A couple times when I tried to make it go up/down, the controller didn’t do what I wanted. I had to pause and then it did what I wanted it to do. Other than that, everything went as expected. I did find the second battery, it was already in the drone. I found myself watching the drone to fly, instead of the app, it’ll take me awhile to fly by the app. Hopefully the controller up/down will work better on the next tryout.

I am new to flying quadcopters/drones, and this is my first. I have seen Mavics in operation, and this is a drone that may have fewer features but for the price you cannot beat this drone. I received the drone just a few days ago. It is extremely well packaged. It’s heavy too, 585g (for reference the Air 2S clocks in at 595). The box is sturdy, inside the box, is an opaque plastic zip bag that holds the really cool hard side carrying case (think old-school lunchbox for size comparison). Open the carry case, and everything is compartmented in foam. The lid has a mesh zip pocket as well. There is a spot for the extra battery, drone, and controller.
Now for the operation. Fold out the arms, press the power button, and the drone is ready to go. I turn on the controller, it connects…and nothing. Turns out you absolutely have to use the app on your cell. The controller has a great spot to securely hold your phone. So, I download the app, fire it up, and look at the quick start guide. You have to calibrate the compass, i.e. turn the drone horizontally and vertically, it’ll beep after each and you are ready to go. Or so I thought. The quick start guide says press the sticks to the 5 o’clock and 7 o’clock positions to start the motors. I do that…nothing happens. I look at the app and there’s a button that looks like a bullseye, I press that and a little window pops up and says slide bar to start motors, and a button that says “take off.” I do that…still nothing. I look a little more, and see that “GPS mode” is on and it is getting no GPS signal. There’s a button on the remote, to cycle through modes, so I press that to a different mode.
Here’s the important part so I will type slowly and loudly for the folks in the back UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR FIRST FLIGHT INDOORS!!! I took all of the steps I mentioned above with the drone sitting on a table in my office. The motors spun up, and I thought cool it works! I’ll just lift it off the table and set it back down…WRONG. I made the mistake of using the “one touch takeoff/landing” button on the remote. Let me tell you that if you press that button this thing will leap in the air like a bullfrog with a cattle prod up his a$$! I hit the button and it hit the ceiling and came crashing to the ground! At this point, I’m thinking to myself, there’s a $400 lesson learned. I pick up the drone and sure enough, cracked arm. It’s now a $400 paper weight; speaking of paper the motors WILL blow paper everywhere if you have any sitting on your table 🙂
Not one to be so easily defeated, I look on the ol’ amazon for a replacement arm, and sure enough they have them, but I can’t get one (won’t ship to Guam). I decide to take a flyer and email customer service with my dilemma. Sybil from Ruko responded within minutes, asking which arm I needed. I tell her, and she says no problem we will send you one free of charge. I’m thinking great new arm, then I get her next email, sorry we can’t send it to Guam. Damn. But she says order one and send us the order number and we will refund the cost to you. Holy cow!! These folks are awesome! I actually had already ordered one to be sent stateside to the fam to put in a care package at a later date. Whether Sybil follows through or not, her responsiveness and willingness to help are a rare quality these days.
I decided since it’s only a crack let me see what crazy glue will do. I put the glue to the crack, waited about 36 hours and just check the pic and video. The quality is outstanding on the camera. Pictures are crystal clear and detailed. The video is crisp. The camera gimbal works great, and produces outstanding pictures. I did all of this without an SD card. The pics/videos are sent to your phone. You connect your phone via wifi to the drone. I launched the drone OUTSIDE my house, went up about 100 feet, flew around a little bit, and hit the home button. It took about 30 seconds for it to decide what to do, and it went straight over to the takeoff point, re-oriented to face the original direction, and slowly descended back to the ground. There is no obstacle avoidance feature like more expensive drones, but I’m not sure that would’ve helped me on my maiden flight 🙂
Overall, if you are looking for a good introduction to drones without breaking the bank BUY THIS DRONE! This is not a toy. It’s also not a $1000 Mavic. What it is, is an outstanding reasonably priced drone with tons of features. Buy it you won’t be sorry. (I actually bought a second one in case the crazy glue didn’t work).
