By far the best review, your a really skilled flyer in that wind. The higher altitude footage was enough to convince me to buy one. Thank you. I just hope it lasts, My last cheap drone didn't due to gear wear, I promised myself I wouldn't buy another one that does not have the props directly on the motors (so gear free) but we will see with this one. On a still day I am hoping this is stable enough with the optical follow to be able to do some roof inspection!
That’s a difficult one… They both are from the same company (ZL Toys) and have the same features. The only main difference that I see is in the shape and design. The SG700 is foldable, while the SG106 is a little more aerodynamic (with the pointy & thin fuselage). Aside from this, they are both virtually identical (with the same controller and features, including optical flow, altitude hold, etc).…
It kept drifting away and crashing when I used it but maybe I just didn't calibrate the gyros properly... the remote was giving me all the problems. When flying with the app only it calibrates perfectly... not sure why... flying with the app alone though is dodgy. Hard as it doesn't respond as well as I am used to with physical sticks.
Excellent video! I've considered this drone in the past as an extra for others who want to fly with us. I just may have to purchase this especially after watching this video--and how well you flew into the wind! Thank you again!
Excellently explained. Thank you. I think I'm going to get the 2021 version based off of your review. Thank you. I hope you're keeping well. EDIT: Fantastic flying dude. Wow.
This is the BEST review of this drone (features, technical and flight) that I've seen yet. And as Rob (below) also said, you're definitely in an elite league with your flight skills, especially considering that 25+mph wind that you flew the demo run in like it was nothing. Amazing! One thing you didn't mention is the how terrible the manual is written. I learned more about my drone features and how to fly it from your video than reading the manual 10 times. Thank you!
I took the remote controller apart, the antenna on top are fake, I removed them and blocked the holes up. I also extended the small antenna wire inside the controller, I will test in future if it gives more range. I also had a bad crash trying to fly in really bad wind. I think one motor got stalled so burned out. I have spares so I replaced it OK, just cut and soldered the wires in the arm, all good.
is the drone footage unedited ? ive seen other reviewer like qc101 and his video isnt as good as yours, do you know the format from the drone along with the fps, resolution & bitrate, also is it using sd card? if so what r u using, thx
GoodMorning, i have a white drone, not sure if the brand, it’s written [DRONE] on top it has the same controller but the HFUN app won’t connect with the controller can i get assisted. Please. Thanks
U r the only one who flies the drones u review.. Most of the other reviewers have just purchased their drones to hover around.. So stupid that they don't realize that the fun of flying a drone is it's speed n not hovering around throughout the video.. Anyways, could you please tell me if the camera on this drone transmits video in real time or is there any slight lag?
What is the trick in having it so far and returning it in the wrong direction,,,, I see it comes to you so straight and nice,,,,once its far i would think you can turn the stick unpreciscely, and fly it away or in the wrong direction of travel,,,any hints or ideas to keep a good return,,,,?
I simply fly it straight out (with its nose pointed in the correct orientation facing outwards), and then I simply yaw the drone back towards me as I keep the pitch forward, so that it essentially is doing a sharp turn and coming right back at me (with the nose pointed towards my orientation)…
Look up quad copter 101 video on this drone maybe you can figure out why he had so many problems with the transmitter it might help others,thanks for getting back to me I think I might buy this one
So what is the flight time on batt everyone says 8.10.12 and the famous 20 min so what is the correct time do i need 3 battery’s to really have fun with it ... thought the bottom camera was some kind of a sensor to judge landing so u don’t plop down like drunk crow ..
Using the smart phone should have little to no impact on performance...As to the differences between those drones, I am guessing certain features set them apart (such as optical flow, GPS, 5G WiFi, etc).
got the same drone but mine refuses to stay connected to the wifi, it flashes up briefly then drops connection. It also keeps hitting 100% power so when I hit the take off button it zooms off lol. How do you take off and how do you get it to hold position? Mine literally takes off and swerves in one direction so I have to hit the kill switch to crash it.
Well maybe first try flying it without the app (just the controller) to avoid any interference and then make sure you calibrate the drone (while it’s perfectly flat on the ground) prior to take off… That should ensure that the drone is balanced and has no interference with the cell phone’s Wi-Fi… Hopefully it will fly a lot better with that configuration, if not, you may have a faulty unit they may need to be returned or exchanged…
Hi, I ask, why not command the camera from the transmitter and a sd card inside the drone? Take picture and video from the phone and not with the buttons on the transmitter? Thanks and greetings. Piero
Yes, unfortunately many of these new foldable hobby quadcopters require the mobile app & WiFi in order to successfully save pictures & record videos. Even when they have photo & video buttons on the controller, they still need the mobile app connected in order to properly save those files. If I recall correctly, this drone was also designed this way. If the drone takes an SD card, simply insert one and try recording video (or taking pictures) using only the controller buttons and not the app. Then check the SD card and see if the video properly saved. Also, make sure you correctly stop recording the video before you turn off the drone (not doing so could corrupt the video file and make it unusable).
Normally, it is recommended to use an SD card if possible with a drone. The quality of the video footage saved to an SD card is usually superior with a higher frame-rate and no lag (which makes it smoother).
Thank you for your answers to me, the SG 700 has no sd card inside, is there the possibility to add a little circuit to put into the drone , connected to the camera, and finally have the possibility to save foto and video in the sd card ? Do I dream? Thank you again. Piero
Thanks, I want to try to insert in the drone a slot for sd card to connect to the camera and to see if it will work properly... Then I will say more. Thanks. Piero
First connect the controller to the drone (bind), then once that is done, connect to the drone’s WiFi with your phone & launch its app (using the ‘master’ option)...
How come the drone imagery is laggy on my ipod? It lags about 8 seconds of what I point the camera to. I've purchased 2 of these drones and they both lag. I see many reviews and those cameras didn't lag. Im not sure if the drone calibrates either, it just says "sensor calibrating..." and disappears after 2 seconds. Could it be my mobile device or app? Besides this, it's a very fun drone
The lag is more likely to happen the further out or behind an object the drone is from the phone...it is basically interference (or disruption of the video transmission)... If using the drone in close range (like for selfies), it should be less apparent...
I know this is a out of subject question.. But do you play roblox? (your profile picture and your name are both having characteristics of a Roblox player)...
That’s a tough one… They are both good drones… Each has advantages over the other and also disadvantages over each other… I’m not a big fan of the SG700 controller, but it is cool that it has the two cameras… Both drones look very similar... It is hard to choose... Perhaps maybe this one… I believe they are both coreless brushed motors…
A great review but he didn't demonstrate the process of actually getting it into flight for the first time. Mine does everything except fly. Very frustrated right now.
At 9:25 in the video, we go over setting up for the first flight (the process is always the same regardless of time & location). Please refer to that for any assistance... Thanks ;)
hi, thanks for the video, when turn on my wifi it finds the divice, but it says that i dont have wifi or no connection. its not finding anything that starts with M8xxxxx, it says wifi_camera:xxxx any sugestions?
Well try connecting to the new WiFi entry that appears in your device’s WiFi list. It may be that they changed what appears there with the new production models. If that does not work, then perhaps you may have received a faulty unit or maybe your device is not compatible with the drone. If possible, try connecting to the drone using another mobile device to test…
Perhaps there’s some sort of signal interference? Maybe a faulty unit? Try flying the drone without using the Wi-Fi or app… Does it still give you problems if you just fly the drone with the transmitter (and not using the Wi-Fi or app)?
OK, will just give it a try… Some of these drones get interference when using the Wi-Fi app because the Wi-Fi operates on 2.4 GHz (as well as the transmitter also operates on that same frequency) and sometimes there can be an interference…
I haven't bought a drone off of wish yet and they do have some that say $400 but it's $40 or $35 tell has anyone gotten to buy one and how does it run ? ??????
I got this from Wish a couple of years ago and I never figured out how to bind it with the transmitter. I'm stoked on this video man, You RULE.. excellent very concise instructions.
This is really cool! I'd been thinking of getting this one for it's price and it looks pretty decent! Are there any trim options with this quad? I've been flying indoor and mini-quads so far, not sure if trim is only a thing with the smaller ones. With bigger quads like this, is the position hold reliable..?
This does allow you to calibrate the gyros (which is essentially a form of auto trimming) to balance the quadcopter and ensure a very even trim… At 10:00 in the video I demonstrate how that is done… But I did not see a clear way to apply trims (unless there is some obscure way of doing it, perhaps by pushing in the joysticks)…
I understand there are three or four models of this drone ,is your model the optical flow model ,and did you have any trouble flying with the stock transmitter,the quad copter 101 reviewer buy had some transmitter problems he ended up using the phone app and phone only for the transmitter,I kinda interested in this drone ,for 42.00 I found it for ,I just need to no is this good for beginners,anyone help
Yes, I have the optical flow model with the two HD cameras… It is very easy to fly for beginners... I did not experience any problems with the controller, but I’ve heard that others have had issues… So I’m not sure what’s going on with that…
rx344 this look identical to the S169 drone..its the same just different name? Mine says Optical flow Drone S169 & I can't find a app for it so I can use my phone to take pics or videos plz help
Yes, from what I see online it does look like a rebrand of the S169 (or vice versa)… They have two cameras (one of which is the optical flow camera underneath)…
This drone does not have GPS, so it does not have a true follow-me feature… I don’t recall seeing a visual follow-me feature on this drone, so I have not seen or tested that…
Yes, the default package comes with just one battery, but it may be sold online in packages with two or maybe even three batteries… In any case, finding spare batteries for this is very easy and inexpensive…
I would still pick the Visuo mainly because of its flight time. You can do over 10 minutes, plus the new Visuo that is coming out should be able to do 20 minutes worth of flight time… This one is kind of short on the flight time, it is less than 10 minutes…
Did you get the 2MP version? Remember all these new drones come in 0.3MP & 2MP versions (quality vs price trade off). I always try to get the 2 mega pixel versions to get clear 720p HD video in wide angle...
Had mine a while now, its pretty easy to fly with the remote but I can't fly it with the app, its too unresponsive, almost ignores me! It seems pretty tough as I had a few crashes without damage. Some notes... I tried several phones, even some newer fairly quick Samsung like J5 and Motorola Moto they got an picture but it broke up badly with any drone motion. My most powerful phone, a Samsung Note works OK. The app should be fine with something powerful like an S series Samsung. I also found you need to connect the remote control first with phone wifi OFF, once the remote is paired you can switch the wifi on (within the app) on phone and let it connect to the drone. It then flies OK and you get a video feed. Good news about this drone is spare parts are now becoming available (AliExpress) so if you buy it you have a chance to keep it flying for a long time. I already have extra blades, motors, gears and batteries. I was recently given an iphone so I need to get an app and try it with that next. finally I need to practise my flying, I have had a couple of near fly-aways I managed to recover, I think it was the optical flow can get confused at some altitudes so a hover turns into massive drift situation.
Rob Sillygoose I wondering if I should stay with my Hubsan 502E it try this new drone,I was hoping it would Hoover hands free like a regular altitude hold drone ,I am hoping the optical flow is a improvement ,I like upgrades
Optical flow is good, but GPS has return-to-home and also, it can maintain its position at high altitudes and with low-light...optical flow drones may lose their position hold under those conditions...
I agree, optical flow is really a low cost means to improve stability, it does work to a degree, but the processing power in the chips in a £40 drone are not going to be very powerful! With only a 2mp camera below, when the drone is high it probably doesn't get enough detail image to track well.
I basically already did...I reviewed the JD-20 (which is the same exact drone, only with a different name, Chinese rebrand). th-cam.com/video/5iw7OSpkvKU/w-d-xo.html
Haven’t heard of the X28 (only the YH-19HW). I reviewed the JD-20 (which is the same exact drone as the YH-19HW only with a different name). Here is the review: th-cam.com/video/5iw7OSpkvKU/w-d-xo.html
rx344 thanks for thinking with me. I knew what the problem was, my cellphone was blocking the wifi connection. I could fly and that's why it would react crazy sometimes. Once I fix the wifi issue. "Trust this wifi connection " it start up immediately. Thanks.
I did a brief search on the Internet for the PDF documentation on this drone, but could not find it… Perhaps you may have better luck searching Google for it…
Well yes, this is simply an inexpensive clone of the DJI Spark. The latter is a premier drone that costs hundreds of dollars, while this one is less than a hundred dollars (closer to $50 dollars). So yes, a difference in quality is inevitable at that range.
By far the best review, your a really skilled flyer in that wind. The higher altitude footage was enough to convince me to buy one. Thank you.

Yes, the default package comes with just one battery, but it may be sold online in packages with two or maybe even three batteries… In any case, finding spare batteries for this is very easy and inexpensive…
Can u switch off the lights
Yes
Would you think this is better than visuo?
I would still pick the Visuo mainly because of its flight time. You can do over 10 minutes, plus the new Visuo that is coming out should be able to do 20 minutes worth of flight time… This one is kind of short on the flight time, it is less than 10 minutes…
rx344... Yeah.. New Visuo shark battle is better flight time.. But the camera is so bad..
Did you get the 2MP version? Remember all these new drones come in 0.3MP & 2MP versions (quality vs price trade off). I always try to get the 2 mega pixel versions to get clear 720p HD video in wide angle...
Very True!
This is a dann gold Video camera though, dont know if the visuo will be as good
Who else checked this out after finding it wishist
Hii sweet page ☺ Keep it up!
I bought the 1080p version and its a fast and really good drone
Had mine a while now, its pretty easy to fly with the remote but I can't fly it with the app, its too unresponsive, almost ignores me! It seems pretty tough as I had a few crashes without damage.
Some notes... I tried several phones, even some newer fairly quick Samsung like J5 and Motorola Moto they got an picture but it broke up badly with any drone motion. My most powerful phone, a Samsung Note works OK. The app should be fine with something powerful like an S series Samsung.
I also found you need to connect the remote control first with phone wifi OFF, once the remote is paired you can switch the wifi on (within the app) on phone and let it connect to the drone. It then flies OK and you get a video feed.
Good news about this drone is spare parts are now becoming available (AliExpress) so if you buy it you have a chance to keep it flying for a long time. I already have extra blades, motors, gears and batteries.
I was recently given an iphone so I need to get an app and try it with that next.
finally I need to practise my flying, I have had a couple of near fly-aways I managed to recover, I think it was the optical flow can get confused at some altitudes so a hover turns into massive drift situation.
Hopefully they update the app soon & fix some of those issues with other phones...
Rob Sillygoose I wondering if I should stay with my Hubsan 502E it try this new drone,I was hoping it would Hoover hands free like a regular altitude hold drone ,I am hoping the optical flow is a improvement ,I like upgrades
Optical flow is good, but GPS has return-to-home and also, it can maintain its position at high altitudes and with low-light...optical flow drones may lose their position hold under those conditions...
I agree, optical flow is really a low cost means to improve stability, it does work to a degree, but the processing power in the chips in a £40 drone are not going to be very powerful! With only a 2mp camera below, when the drone is high it probably doesn't get enough detail image to track well.
Absolutely correct! :)
You are so pro
Not bad for 40 pound drone? Pity the propellers are visible
you have a nice drone
Thank you :)
well if order it from amazon you get 3 baterys
Mantapp dronenyaa
pls make the review for new YH-X28 clone..it new spark clone drone.. 😊😊😊😊
I basically already did...I reviewed the JD-20 (which is the same exact drone, only with a different name, Chinese rebrand). th-cam.com/video/5iw7OSpkvKU/w-d-xo.html
yeah?..hmm..some people say that yh-x28 got new function..for eg,GPS,barometer and so on..
Haven’t heard of the X28 (only the YH-19HW). I reviewed the JD-20 (which is the same exact drone as the YH-19HW only with a different name). Here is the review: th-cam.com/video/5iw7OSpkvKU/w-d-xo.html
There is no calibration
Yes there is and at 10:00 in the video it is clearly demonstrated...
Auto Follow???
👍👍👍
Thanks! :)
Your an expert in flying! Thanks for the video. My camera don't start
Thank you, but sorry about your camera...perhaps it’s a faulty unit... Maybe they will exchange it...
rx344 i will download and install and pare the transmitter again. Thanks.
Also, you may have to start the recording from the app (and not the controller) so that it records video & images properly...
rx344 thanks for thinking with me. I knew what the problem was, my cellphone was blocking the wifi connection. I could fly and that's why it would react crazy sometimes. Once I fix the wifi issue. "Trust this wifi connection " it start up immediately.
Thanks.
Glad you resolved it...goodluck! ;)
Need manual for sg700 dji spark clone user manual
I did a brief search on the Internet for the PDF documentation on this drone, but could not find it… Perhaps you may have better luck searching Google for it…
I think optical flow drones don't work as well as altitude hold drones,or GPS drones.
Good
Thanks! :)
No problem
That thing is fassssssst
I ordered one last night, will probably buy a second battery though, they're pretty good on price.
Great! :)
You can see a huge difference between this and the dji spark. Gimbal all the way...
Well yes, this is simply an inexpensive clone of the DJI Spark. The latter is a premier drone that costs hundreds of dollars, while this one is less than a hundred dollars (closer to $50 dollars). So yes, a difference in quality is inevitable at that range.
rx344 Wow that I didn’t know. In that case this is great news. Thanks

U sound like Sapnap.
can i have a drone
Hopefully we'll have a giveaway in the near future.
Might buy this, its on ebay for only $59 bucks 😆
E d the app
Nice voicecraks😂
$$
About $50 USD...
Until they get the bugs out of optical flow drones I will stay with a proven drone 502E Hubsan with gps.
Not much of a review
Your review was very helpful and has made my choice for my first drone very easy. Thank you
Sure, anytime! :)
@@rx344 What is the exact weight of this drone?
0.1460 kg
It's about time that I see someone put a little bit of speed behind this thing so we can really see what it does thanks
Just got one for Christmas thank for the review!
Great, enjoy! Thanks 👍
