In your opinion would this drone be better than tello? I am not impressed with the range at all and I even got my daughter the range extender. Do you think this would do better in the wind. Anything over 5 mph winds and you are at risk loosing the tello. Just want your thoughts Thanks in advance 😊👍
Hi thank you for the great review I was wondering if I can fly this drone using GPS future only without connecting to the app at all that's mean no phone attached to the controller especially when I'm traveling I have no internet connection Thank you
I can't remember if you can only use the controller with no phone. I think you can, but you will have no flight features because many of them require the GPS in your phone to work.
Aliexpress now has 2020 Version VISUO XS812 with a totally different remote control (looks like the Zen Mini or Eachine EG16). What is that about? I think they could have added an optical flow sensor for indoors, maybe.
i ordered one with the 5mp camera over the 816 which only has the 2mp and optical flow. shoot I would like optical flow, but I hope that camera module is easy to upgrade so an advantage of the 812. My question is... didnt realize these were brush motors, is it worth/easy to upgrade it to brushless ???
Brushless motors are heavy which is why a drone with large brushless motors usually also has a large battery. It would be difficult to place brushless motors on this drone because brushless motors require plenty of power and ESCs to control the power.
Did you have any issue with recording video on to sd? Mines doesnt seem to record to sd, but it is able to take pictures. I wonder if i ended up with a deffective one. Is there a trick to getting it to record to sd?
Most drones that have a micro SD default to the App, which means you put the Micro SD card in, connect the App, hit record on the App and not the controller, and all should work.
How about using range booster, something that the spark or mavic RC’s uses, will it fly further ? Also when it gets to thr max of 200m away, what will happen ? Stops or return or will loose connection to RC ? Great drone review by the way
I ordered a couple of days ago from RC MASTERS, don't know how long it will take to get to me in Europe. Thanks for your very quick update about the sd card.
@@scottbutcher9093 This is an old video. The drone may no longer be for sale or if it is, it would have been updated, so I honestly don't know if it would work without a phone.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Fair enough. I was asking as I want to get a drone for my son but he doesn't have a phone. We tried a toy drone thst doesn't hover and it was nearly impossible to fly. I might just get a cheap phone for him to use with one of these Visuo drones.
I'm just glad to not see a mavic to zoom or a mavic 2 Pro video. It's really starting to get monotonous and somewhat redundant. They talked about it weeks before and now they're talking about it weeks after. Enough is enough. Great video as usual thanks.
Thanks for the review Captain ! I've just received my visuo but can't seem to record a) pictures or video on the micro SD card or b) video on the phone app. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
I don't have this drone anymore. Some of these drones only like 16 gig or less micro SD cards. Anything higher and nothing records. It should record to your phone (I'm pretty sure that is standard with these drones).
Nice presentation but I think you should have explained that the camera is a removable module and that is where the SD card is. You can only access the SD card slot by removing the camera module.
Thanks for that. I looked at the instructions and there is no where that it is mentioned to remove the camera or add an micro SD. Just tried it myself and the fricken camera pops off (with a bit of force) and I can see the Micro SD slot. Dooh!
Captain! Once again, a very nice review of a nice beginner drone! I really enjoy learning about drones other than DJI, Autel or Yuneec! I agree with “Back From The Sky’s” comments-getting a bit tired of seeing the literally hundreds of Mavic 2 Pro reviews! I have found that I really only need to view one-yours! Until next time, Captain…keep them coming!
sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Neil Jaxtyn i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Enjoyed your drone reviews. Very interested in the inexpensive gps capable drones. Can you check if the gps coordinates are embedded in the still photos after capture? (Useful for mapping purposes)
@@jimruckhaber1878 do you have link for it? I've got an iPhone. I can't see it. I'm in the UK I believe its called xsw gps but it says no results for that when searching for "xswgps" or "xsw gps". Scanning the qr code in the manual also still says "App not available" so looks like if it has returned its not got the same url.
I'm using android galaxy s10 and the app was off google play store but was recently returned. I assume it will be back on apple soon. It is still xsw gps on android.
I believe it is a 5ghz video signal. This means that you have to do a Google Search of your phone to see if it supports 802.11ac WifFi. If it does, then your phone will work.
Aside from the different look of the drone, have you also noticed that below each props there is a ventilated cover which im sure are good protection at least from large objects hitting the gears of each props..unlike previous models where the gears are fully exposed to objects hitting them which could cause damages on the gears. Anyways...great review on its features...im really impress with this drone. Do you know if one gps signal is enough for this drone to work on its altitude hold and the return home feature?
It seems to be enough. Unlike a DJI drone, I can't go into the settings and see all the communication and GPS details, so you have to go with what the APP and Drone give you.
Hi Steve, I am in a pickle. Gearbest sent me the same one you are flying but the app I downloaded keeps crashing. My phone is Samsung S5 with android version 7.0 Any thoughts would be appreciated. I had some chinese in the app???
Tommy. Sorry, I can't be of much help when it comes to phones and Apps. There are so many reasons an App will crash (most times it is because it is trying to access something that is not there). Did you download the correct App? Sometimes they tell you the name of the App in the instructions which makes it easier to locate.
CAPTAIN DRONE hi and thanks for your advice. 👍 I have tried to download the QR code plus the app from Google play and same result. The camera supplied is 1080p but was getting warm after a few minutes. It has it's own circuit that plugs into quad, where the micro sd card is inserted. Me thinks the camera assembly.?? Anyho, tanks fer ya tots, lol.👍
Was this the 2Mp camera version or the 5MP version? I'm currently waiting for delivery of my 5MP version, I preordered it 6 weeks ago and at long last its on its way. In reality calling it a "Toy Drone" is hardly fair, these things have most of the features (less the brushless motors) that DJI's had 3 or 4 years ago and they were considered Hobby Grade drones. My CG 035 "Toy Grade" drone out flys the Phantom 2's and all but the very top of the range Phantom 3's. IMHO its just drone snobbery
I think this one is the 2Mp. It has the ability to remove the camera (which I discovered after the review) and insert a micro SD card to capture higher quality 1080p video.... so maybe it is the 5mp? Toy drones get that label from the manufacturer (usually identified on the web site). Usually drones under $100 get the title Toy Drones or disposable drones or fun drones. It does not mean they are cheap, it just means they are the opposite of a professional drone.
Hi sir you make nice video i see all your video all video is nice.sir i am from india so can i get this drone visuo xs 812 pls guide me. I want this drone
This might be what I need. I have the Visuo that doesn't have the GPS but the camera quality is very poor as compared to my gopro knockoff that I strapped to the bottom for comparison
The video footage shown in this demo was the 720p from my cell phone. I only found out after I posted the review that you can pull the camera off the drone and insert a micro SD for higher quality 1080p. Big difference.
Hi everybody _ı bought xs812 2 years ago.It worked perfectly but yesterday I tried to fly but the escanding power was not enough to fly. I changed batteries, still same. Any suggestion about it. Thanks in advance for your support
I have had several hundred drones, so the answer is.... I have no idea. I only keep the inexpensive drones for about a month and then give them away to Charity for them to raise funds.
Hi Captain Drone! Nice review of Visuo XS812. Btw, can you please make a review of the SMRC S20 with GPS? That's an entry level drone. A good one for a beginner like me. Thanks!
I used to do that but then TH-cam analytics showed me that 90% of people either stopped watching or skipped through the unboxing. I think the only people who watch the unboxing are those who are considering buying it, so I place it at the end.
CAPTAIN DRONE hmmmm so it’s just for me and the rest of the 10% ahah. But you go ahead and trust the analytics, that’s a smart thing to do, whatever’s better for the channel and the viewers. Great job!
my transmitter for the sx812 beeps four times and flashes the red light fast and the drone lands itself automatically i cant see anything about this on the manual can someone help me??
I can't get my android phone to find the WiFi. Its works with our 5g router but won't find this. And my missus I-phone finds it no problem. Its a Samsung note 3 with the correct WiFi but android 5 OS I think
BE WARNED!!! Do not fly these more than 2 battery changes in a row without letting them cool down. The very weak plastic motor supports distort and cause all kinds of problems. Found out the hard way after this happening twice to me. easy enough to change out the arm housings, but its easier still to just let them cool off a bit. Other than that they are a fun, fast, and cheap little GPS quad.
That was my fault. I left the camera pointing straight forward, so when the drone tilts forward to fly forward, you get the props. If I would have tilted the camera down slightly, on flown higher, all would have been ok.
and they just keep updating the original 809. first it got alt hold. then it got an increased flying time with a better battery and cool shark paint job. and now it has gps. I wouldnt be surprised if they shoehorned brushless in there next.
During the whole video you seemed like you were expecting the worst, trying to make it fail, knocking / doubting it's features before even trying them. You know a lot about drones so the acting dumb about the features was a bit off putting. I was impressed by the drone and it's performance. I was not impressed by your review. Seemed a little biased.
I found out after I created the video that you can pull the camera module straight out of the drone and insert a Micro SD card. Once you do that, video improves massively. The video show in this review was recorded at 720p on my cell phone. If you use a Micro SD card, it goes up to a clear 1080p.
Of course, this provides that you actually buy the SKU including the 1080p/5MP camera module - and not the 720p/2MP one. Hopefully, the 5MP camera module becomes available for purchase separately soon - as the bastards of Banggood.com shipped to me the 2MP edition of my XS812, and not the 5MP I pre-ordered from them 😠
When you do PiP it would be much better to have the drone footage large. There is really no benefit to see your head cam view and all of the herky jerky motion is annoying. People are more interested in how the camera on the drone looks. Also, I know you have a lot of experience with drones, but it might be worth taking a few minutes to read the instructions for each instead of wondering out loud how to operate it.
Thanks Mark. I usually make the drone image large if it is a 1080p or higher image, because my reviews are in 4K. This drone was shipped to me with a 720p camera. 720p stretched to 4K does not look that great so I leave it in its 720p size on the screen. You are 100% correct. I've been flying drones for way too long that I never read the instructions anymore. Everything should be intuitive, but sometimes (as in this video... perhaps not so much). I find if I make videos from a first impressions point of view, learning as I go, it becomes more entertaining and I appear less business/robotic. Also, when something impresses me, it is genuine.
Mark, I just had a look at the instructions for this drone and they are very limited when it comes to the features of the drone and the features of the App (I wanted to see if I had missed anything). One person commented that the camera can pop off and you can add a micro SD card. That is nowhere in the instructions and is not something you'd notice on the drone itself. I just tried it and you can indeed pry the camera module off the drone and insert a micro SD Card to obtain 1080p video. The quality shown in my review is 720p which is sent to your phone.
CAPTAIN DRONE Sorry if my original comment sounded too strong or critical. I enjoy watching your videos. I just wanted to share my thoughts to try to help you make them even better. I'm curious why you (and many other TH-camrs) feel the need to max out vids at 4K. Are that many people watching them on big screen TVs (in the U.S.)? I would think the vast majority are still either using their mobile phones or computers, but of course I may be wrong. And regards to instructions, just like with unboxings, I think there's a benefit to us the viewers to know how detailed and effective the instructions are. Chances are that anyone interested in a drone such as this one (entry level) are novices. Anyway, keep up the great work. I look forward to your next review. :)
The 4K is just a future proof method. For those that can view a video above 1080p (and there are many resolutions between 1080p and 4k), it gives them a more detailed video (the audio may even be improved, but not sure). My unboxings are present but super fast due to the many complaints regarding unboxing videos. Most instructions received with the under $200 US drones (made in China as most are) are either written in less than poor English or in a language that is incomprehensible leaving out many features, especially in Apps.
CAPTAIN DRONE I agree that unboxing videos, on their own, are a bit boring. But I think doing them quickly, as you now do, is helpful and maybe including a few comments on the instructions at that time would also be beneficial. As far as 4K, I assumed that's why you upload them that way. However, I doubt you (or any reviewer) will get many views outside of 6 months time and definitely not after a year or more. I think most of us want to know 2 things from drone reviews right now - a. ease of use and functionality of the unit, and b. video quality. How it's going to look on my viewing device. A small PiP window isn't helpful in that regard. Again, just my 2 cents though. ;)
Sir..sorry I asked, if it is difficult to get spare parts such as four arms along with four motors and gears for this visuo xs812, are the spare parts of visuo xs809 and visuo xs816 compatible with visuo xs812?

The weight (Drone + Battery) is 200 grams.

Range booster may work. When it gets to the end of the communication distance, it will just go into return to home mode and fly back.
that alone is an indispensable factor
Where I can buy camera ? Of this drone
Does this one have a flip button?
I'm very interested in this as my 1st drone. Are there larger capacity batteries at do I have to just buy several of the OEM ones?
I ordered a couple of days ago from RC MASTERS, don't know how long it will take to get to me in Europe. Thanks for your very quick update about the sd card.
Is it powerful enough to take an additional weight, for example Runcam2?
I don't think so. It would not fly great with the extra weight.

Enjoyed your drone reviews. Very interested in the inexpensive gps capable drones. Can you check if the gps coordinates are embedded in the still photos after capture? (Useful for mapping purposes)
Some are and some are not. It depends on what the designer places in the EXIF file.
Sorry, I meant to specify a particular drone. For the Visuo xs812 drone does Visuo write the gps location in the exif?
It shows the GPS coordinates at the top of the screen on the App, but it doesn't appear to add that data to the video or photo.
does it able to do aerial flips? if not, can you recommend a drone that has gps and can also use for aerial tricks like fpv drones can do!?
If you don't want to get into the FPV hobby then there is always MJXRC. They have a few drones that are sort of camera and FPV drones.
Does the GPS geotag photos?
So what do you think of the comparison of this vs the MJX Bugs 5W? as an entry level GPS drone
I've been a fan of BUGS drones, so I'd have to go with BUGS.
After looking at your Bug review I agree. My heart is still looking at a Mavic Air but I would have to sell my car. So a Bug will get me started.

Nice review! How would this compare to the SJRC S70W (remote control camera)?
I would say they are somewhat similar. But the S70W has a movable camera (up & down with the flick of a switch, this one does not).

CAPTAIN DRONE hmmmm so it’s just for me and the rest of the 10% ahah. But you go ahead and trust the analytics, that’s a smart thing to do, whatever’s better for the channel and the viewers. Great job!
What was the actual flight time?
That was awhile ago now. Don't recall exact time, but it was certainly longer than 15mins because the entire video was shot on one battery.
Good Video. Thanks. When these $100 drones add a really good camera the $1000 drones may be in trouble.
$1000 drones cost so much partly because they have a gimbal & a really good camera. These two things are expensive, at least for now.
Hubsan Zino is here. Three axis gimbal. Amazing 4K UHD 30fps camera. All for less than $600.
after flying 5 or 6 min the controller starts to warn by bi bi bi sound then drone stop flying. what is it about?
Sounds like a low battery issue. Either the battery is not getting a full charge, or the battery is not holding the full charge.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 which battery ? remote's or drone's because the drone battery is %80 and the remote has 4 full duracell
HiHope you can help, will my Huawei J7 wifi 802.11, b/g/n work this drone. Thanks
you probably know by now but no it won't
my transmitter for the sx812 beeps four times and flashes the red light fast and the drone lands itself automatically i cant see anything about this on the manual can someone help me??
Not sure what the issue is. Usually red light flashing is low battery or a problem (i.e., Compass/GPS).
CAPTAIN DRONE Thanks, I was using old batteries; I’ll buy some new ones and update you soon.
Very nice quad, its a little light but nonetheless a very good performer for sure.👍 Thanks for sharing. ✌
Hallo from greece you have review for xiaomi mi drone 4k thank you
Hello. I have not reviewed that drone yet.
Dji Tello or this???
Visuo why, the tello not have gps
NFLGAMING _180 Get this. Looks great. Flies great. It got gps
The batery is better and the cam too
Think I could mount a GoPro on this?
Might be too heavy.
I have 4G connection on Android S9 will it work?
Cool drone
Good video. How’s your drone racing flying going by the way? :)
It could be better if I had more flying time. Too busy filming other videos. I do have a video this week coming up regarding FPV.
Cool guy nice drone.
For 126 bucks seems great. Better bang for buck than the tello you think?
Plenty more features than the Tello, and this one can fly in the wind.
I would spend a little more and get a bugs 5W
Thanks for the very entertaining review. Really interesting. Can't remember whether you mentioned price.
Under $100 US.
No brushless motors, no buying. It's that simple.
When this video was made, brushless motors were very expensive. Now they are inexpensive.
I can't get my android phone to find the WiFi. Its works with our 5g router but won't find this. And my missus I-phone finds it no problem. Its a Samsung note 3 with the correct WiFi but android 5 OS I think
It could be the old Note 3 is the problem, especially if newer phones connect.
Check if your phone has 802.11 Ac 5g WiFi. Not all phones has that wifi
It ’s cool, drone.
I think Thats better Than The Tello
only thing i dint like was you could see the propeller
BE WARNED!!! Do not fly these more than 2 battery changes in a row without letting them cool down. The very weak plastic motor supports distort and cause all kinds of problems. Found out the hard way after this happening twice to me. easy enough to change out the arm housings, but its easier still to just let them cool off a bit. Other than that they are a fun, fast, and cheap little GPS quad.
Very good review my freind
Poppers visible in video. That sucks
That was my fault. I left the camera pointing straight forward, so when the drone tilts forward to fly forward, you get the props. If I would have tilted the camera down slightly, on flown higher, all would have been ok.
Nice.....
Not bad for the price
ผมซื้อจากร้านAynshop กากครับเอาของพังมาขายกล้องใช้ไม่ได้No Wi-Fi บินได้ไม่กี่วันมอเตอร์พัง
Well it seem very silent
less than $100, that is pretty impressive.
and they just keep updating the original 809. first it got alt hold. then it got an increased flying time with a better battery and cool shark paint job. and now it has gps. I wouldnt be surprised if they shoehorned brushless in there next.
Yet it landed closer too the landing pad than your first try with the Mavic 2 pro. Lol
This is true... so sad.
PLEASE HELP DRONE NOT WORKING WITH ANDROID (9.0
During the whole video you seemed like you were expecting the worst, trying to make it fail, knocking / doubting it's features before even trying them. You know a lot about drones so the acting dumb about the features was a bit off putting.
I was impressed by the drone and it's performance. I was not impressed by your review. Seemed a little biased.
That beeping is the sound of a drone telling you not to watch small children with drones.
These cheap drones are interesting but man the camera quality is always awful. 2004 camera phone awful. I guess people buy them for kids.
I found out after I created the video that you can pull the camera module straight out of the drone and insert a Micro SD card. Once you do that, video improves massively. The video show in this review was recorded at 720p on my cell phone. If you use a Micro SD card, it goes up to a clear 1080p.
Priceless information
Of course, this provides that you actually buy the SKU including the 1080p/5MP camera module - and not the 720p/2MP one.
Hopefully, the 5MP camera module becomes available for purchase separately soon - as the bastards of Banggood.com shipped to me the 2MP edition of my XS812, and not the 5MP I pre-ordered from them 😠
When you do PiP it would be much better to have the drone footage large. There is really no benefit to see your head cam view and all of the herky jerky motion is annoying.
People are more interested in how the camera on the drone looks. Also, I know you have a lot of experience with drones, but it might be worth taking a few minutes to read the instructions for each instead of wondering out loud how to operate it.
Thanks Mark. I usually make the drone image large if it is a 1080p or higher image, because my reviews are in 4K. This drone was shipped to me with a 720p camera. 720p stretched to 4K does not look that great so I leave it in its 720p size on the screen. You are 100% correct. I've been flying drones for way too long that I never read the instructions anymore. Everything should be intuitive, but sometimes (as in this video... perhaps not so much). I find if I make videos from a first impressions point of view, learning as I go, it becomes more entertaining and I appear less business/robotic. Also, when something impresses me, it is genuine.
Mark, I just had a look at the instructions for this drone and they are very limited when it comes to the features of the drone and the features of the App (I wanted to see if I had missed anything). One person commented that the camera can pop off and you can add a micro SD card. That is nowhere in the instructions and is not something you'd notice on the drone itself. I just tried it and you can indeed pry the camera module off the drone and insert a micro SD Card to obtain 1080p video. The quality shown in my review is 720p which is sent to your phone.
CAPTAIN DRONE Sorry if my original comment sounded too strong or critical. I enjoy watching your videos. I just wanted to share my thoughts to try to help you make them even better. I'm curious why you (and many other TH-camrs) feel the need to max out vids at 4K. Are that many people watching them on big screen TVs (in the U.S.)? I would think the vast majority are still either using their mobile phones or computers, but of course I may be wrong. And regards to instructions, just like with unboxings, I think there's a benefit to us the viewers to know how detailed and effective the instructions are. Chances are that anyone interested in a drone such as this one (entry level) are novices. Anyway, keep up the great work. I look forward to your next review. :)
The 4K is just a future proof method. For those that can view a video above 1080p (and there are many resolutions between 1080p and 4k), it gives them a more detailed video (the audio may even be improved, but not sure). My unboxings are present but super fast due to the many complaints regarding unboxing videos. Most instructions received with the under $200 US drones (made in China as most are) are either written in less than poor English or in a language that is incomprehensible leaving out many features, especially in Apps.
CAPTAIN DRONE I agree that unboxing videos, on their own, are a bit boring. But I think doing them quickly, as you now do, is helpful and maybe including a few comments on the instructions at that time would also be beneficial. As far as 4K, I assumed that's why you upload them that way. However, I doubt you (or any reviewer) will get many views outside of 6 months time and definitely not after a year or more. I think most of us want to know 2 things from drone reviews right now - a. ease of use and functionality of the unit, and b. video quality. How it's going to look on my viewing device. A small PiP window isn't helpful in that regard. Again, just my 2 cents though. ;)
:)
Sir..sorry I asked, if it is difficult to get spare parts such as four arms along with four motors and gears
for this visuo xs812, are the spare parts of visuo xs809 and visuo xs816 compatible with visuo xs812?
