After watching many of your reviews I just purchased this drone. Great value for the features for a beginner. That’s me. Thank you for all the effort you put into your channel Captain.
Thanks to this video I decided to enter into the world of flying drones and drones in general. I don't know about other makes and models too much but what my KF101 siurvived already is very impressing. After learning quickly the basic moves then use of camera I went right into difficult pitch filming over water streams with dense vegetation on the banks. Really tight space for flying and making video recordings. I guess I must be very lucky that the gimball still works after a few crashes. After one particular occured after low battery automatic moves. Started climbing right into the branches of a tree above then fell 50ft onto drift wood and rocks covered with moss. Seemingly the first post-crash test is succesful. Very informative videos, deffo going to see more of your reviews as I am at pole position to extend my fleet.
Hi captain , anything anyone can buy at this price with a camera , to me is a plus cause there were times when you had to spend a fortune for a drone with a reasonable camera and these days we still take it for granted and wanting more for the price , it was total headache with Mods and stuff just top get this close to what you can get now for that price , even if it only goes 300 feet . Take care Captain , nice one as usual .
It'd be cool if some of these budget drones came with upgrades to increase range and flight time. Very good quality devices despite those tow features. And the cost to entry is much more palatable.
Thanks CD. I won't be around on your channel so much in the future, because I need to knuckle down finally and watch vids relevant to my own endeavors. But I'll still monitor and watch videos that can assist me in that. You are such a good pilot, good teacher, and a lot of fun.
I'm very impressed by this drone 🤔..beats the hell out of the beast pro series.. does what all low budget drones say they do but they don't do it. This one does, the video is super smooth, photos are decent, remote control is pretty... technology is rushing forward 👌🏾
The video from this drone looks very similar to that of the SJRC F11 4K Pro. But that display on the remote (like all of MJX drones so far) should be what most budget drones have, having the distance and altitude on the remote is extremely useful, and is quite viewable in direct sunlight.
It's incredible I have gone on so many different drone instructors you have been the most informative one I've ever met thank you very much I'm totally an Ubee and I've had the pleasure of purchasing one that's the lower one but it's still high enough quality for me and I'm using it for charitable projects overseas
Cap! You da' best reviewer on da' net! A lot of detailed work presented here. Problem is, I buy too much watching you. Four drones in past 30 days. This one will make five!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 No Steve, Bill is like myself, a devoted disciple. It's YOU that we follow, oh anointed one!!! Many,many thanks for all you have done to help promote our (choose one): A) Sport B) Hobby C) Addiction. D) ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Just got this drone and I love it! However I only ordered it with 1 battery, is there anywhere online that sells replacement or spare batteries for the KF101?
Looks to be a good drone. Everything worked, stable flight and video, good camera quality and flight time. Only things was the RTH a little weird as you pointed out.
Good morning Steve from NB I have made up my mind several times over the past year on what drone I will buy, but then my dream gets bashed for that unit by a poor review from someone. I am beginning to think that some reviewers bad mouth a drone due to a bad experience which I am suspicious was had due to "pilot error". Maybe the calibration was not done correctly, maybe they didnt take the time to read the manual, or misunderstood the manual due to translations...that would be easy to do in many cases. Anyway, I am sticking to your reviews because I am sure you have the experience and knowledge of drone flying backing you, it is quite evident that you know the unit you are reviewing, also - you pull no punches when you hit a not-so-good drone, and you present your reviews with professionalism yet always seem to be able to inject the review with tidbits of humor. This all results in a good watch by the viewers. For these reasons plus the fact that I am a new pilot to the world of droning therefore a descent entry level drone is what I need, I have decided on the KF101. Technology is technology and I have been involved with technology as my 20-years of employment in the telephone industry prior to retirement therefore I fully realize that in that world things can and do run amok. For that reason, I will lay no blame on you should I be unfortunate enough to buy a dud. 😮😅 Keep up your great work
Thanks for the comments! Your KF101 should perform no different than what you see in my video review, under all the same circumstances. I should also mention that no drone is perfect, or else I'd only have one. The reviews who are negative usually come off that way because they looked at the 100 things about the drone and spent 20 minutes focusing on the 5 negative aspects vice the 95% good aspects. Those reviewers, for the most part, will have a small following vice a larger channel like mine.
I bought this drone after finding your channel and watching probably all your budget drone videos and loved this one so much I had to have it! I love your channel! I've also got the 1km model and I've actually had a day where I got 4000 meters one flight with no video transmission or controller communication issues! This is a very good but temperamental drone lol
Could you review the new kf101 max plus (two generations later than the one you reviewed in this video) also it has 5km range and I am curious if the improvements are worth it
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 hi mr Captain. After view this video , I decided to order the same drone ks101 . But I don’t know what going on . My drone couldn’t fly
I personally like the drunk return to home feature. It makes it look like it's really being flown back. None of the perfect straight line flight like my DJI. 😂
Thanks for the review, very informative. If you have no need for the Mini SE anymore, please send it my way. I had the pleasure of owning the original Mini. However, in these trying times, I had to sell it 🥺😥😢😭. Oooh the memories!😭😭😭
Will you review KF102 ?i only trust your review because all your review is straight to the point , clear cut without talking too much rubbish like others.
Hello. Why is it that at a lower resolution (2K), according to various reviews, it seems to me that the picture from this drone is clearer/sharper than that of the F-11 pro 4K. The smoothness is the same. Am I mistaken on the even picture quality and is the F-11 better or not ?
I know this video is a little older now, but the link to this drone doesn't appear to be budget anymore. I'm seeing it on Cafago for $391.00 and not under $200 like in some of the comments from a few months ago.
Just ordered one with the 3km range that says radio repeater it is the max version after watching this video I think it is value for money just waiting for the drone to come
Hey im fairly new to drone - three drones I have been loooking at - this one, the srjc f11/f22s and the holy stone 720.. which would you recommend out of the three for money for value
I bought One of these after watching this video, great camera quality, but I broke a load of props pretty much the day it arrived (never flown a drone) now I can't find anywhere to get replacements! anyone have idea's on that? as I know I will no doubt break the Ones that came in the box :/
Props are not specific to drones, so don't search for props for this drone. What you have to do is measure the prop in inches and then search for props of that size that are foldable. Then have a look at all the results and find props with the same securing system.
Despite the drunk RTH, another test I would love to see you add to these budget drones would be a signal lost behavior test (i.e. phone dies, controller shut down, etc)
Yeah, that's what you just can't find easily, if you can at all. Budget drones don't usually get in-depth reviews, because reviewers are all used to much, much better aircraft, so nobody even thinks of checking that.
I bought this drone based on your review. To my surprise no optical flow sensor and the range is less 200m before it loses communication with the remote.
SG906 Pro 2 is better, better camera, as I can see, the photo maked by KF101 is sucks. People says that SG908 have too many defects, that's why 906 is the best choice
I bought this drone based on this video, my first drone, so for the money I figured it would be a good beginner drone, 1 of the 3 batteries came DOA :( other than that no major issues. SD Format is not Mac compatible. I would recommend it as a beginner drone
Captain, looking to buy this drone. Banggood has it with the two batteries for $212. Would be my second drone. Currently have the SJRC F11 Pro 4K. Not looking so much for camera but more for fun flying. Thought? Thx.
Had my first flight with mine today - indoors - NOPE, it lifted off and immediately drifted backwards into a wall 8) Outdoors, were pretty good, it managed to make headway into a blustery headwind OK, so over 15-20- minutes I stayed on manual and got the hang of the controls, with two or three good soft landings. However having an issue with the app on my iPhone, with the phone going to sleep while I thought it was recording video. First impressions, fairly good for a complete novice like me. Also the version of the remote I got has USB-C, USB Micro and Lightning cables to connect the phone, so you don't have to rely on the wifi connection.
Glad to hear you are enjoy the drone. Please note that all entry level drones that have optical flow for positioning (camera on the bottom) require very bright light in a room in order to fly indoors or else the drone will not lock on to anything and will then drift due to the movement of air it causes.
Another excellent review Captain ..... I've still got my Mavic air one, But my thoughts are these days there's a lot of really good drones on the market , DJI is still king I think in the intended price range ... But , From what I'm seeing the other manufacturers are catching up really quickly , It won't be to long and DJI will be knocked of there pedistal .... I think DJI are Meeh, Over priced , And yes we all know they are , These manufacturers catching them up fast , For the price this drone looks to be a good condender over the Mavic mini or mini 2 .
friend, I have that drone but I have a problem, when I turn it on and calibrate it it gives me 6 satellite signal, what can I do to improve that signal?
The DNA of SJRC F11 4K Pro is obviously on this drone. The app is even created by the same developer for SJRC. The giveaway is the LED lamps, arms, and the rear end :). Anyway, it's pretty darn good for a budget drone at the price range
Added one of these to the collection but would love to purchase a backup battery. Anyone know of a source! ( 6 months later and still looking for a spare battery and BTW, having some developing issues with the camera gimbal)
Very nice to see all the improvements in budget Drones over the past 2 years.
Thanks Captain

I like how you use and switch camera angles . You really can grasp what you are doing that way visually..
Much appreciated and thank you for watching.

I've just ordered this drone in the U.K. Excellent review Cap, very thorough and full of information and the only full review in English 👊👍
Glad it was helpful!
One epic video after another!
Excellent Tutorial Review Video Captain Drone. Amazing inexpensive drone!! Thank You!
For the price of this drone I'd say it's quite good. Did not expect the follow me to work as well as it did.

No it will get pulled over and you can’t fly for a year! Brought to you by m.a.d.f. Lol

wowwwwwwwww. i might get this one captain. great review .
Looks like decent quality for the price point. Shot nice pictures and video. Under $200 seems like a good deal with all the features it has.
Thankyouu so muchhh captain drone for making this review 🥰
My pleasure 😊
great review. 😂😂😆 Mr Capitan you killed, me when you sniff the drone making sure it wasn't drunk 😎 lol 😂😆😆😆
This is much cheaper than bugs. Great stabilized video. Thanks for the review Cap

hello please give suggestion whether i should buy kf101. sjrc pro 4k or bugs drone for this xmast. thx
Will the KF 101 carry my drone speaker ? If not could you recommend a suitable drone. Thanks great videos
Beginner here. Which one would you recommend - KF101 or F11s?
Get the one that ships to you the quickest at the best price
Despite the 2 axis gimbal on the SJRC, the quality amounts to the same or better than on this 3 axis.
I just now received my Kf 101 I love it and it was on after pay so it was only 47.00 for 4 payments where can I send you a pic @capitan drone
Glad to hear you are enjoying the drone.

Have u used the SJRC F11 pro with 2 or 3 axis gimbal? If so would u say the camera quality is the same or close to jt?
Hello Captain. Do you know another app to control KF101 besides the one that the instructions indicate? The VS GPS PRO is very limited
Most drones can only use the App designed for them. I’m not aware of any other apps.
I bought this drone based on your review. To my surprise no optical flow sensor and the range is less 200m before it loses communication with the remote.
Range is based on your phone.
Hi, Capitão! The control this drone can be used with SG906 Pro 2 and JJRC X17?
Now I’m confused which one should I choose??? Sg908 or Kf101??? Help me captain 👨✈️ 👋🙏
lmao he just heart it
Kf101 was thinking the same but now I'm getting this one closes thing to a mavic I cant afford

What do you do with all your drones? Do you keep them and not fly them? Do you give them away to loyal fans? Asking for a loyal fan.

No KF101 is better.
