Thank you for leaving this video up, the instructions said nothing about pulling the sticks up and down on the controller when the drone lights are flashing to connect the 2 and for the life of me I would've never figured out that was all I needed to do. All of the instructions that came with it were so confusing, This was a huge help!
A quick tip for anyone who has just got one of these. SET THE TRIM. mine flew up, up, and away. I've just spent the last hour wandering through the fields in the dark looking for mine. The up and down control worked fine. It flew up into the sky perfectly, then just drifted away into the distance. The forward and back control didn't seem to do anything. The moral of the story is, fly it at low level, and make sure all is good, before you take to the sky.
ha ha I know the feeling had same event yesterday someone saw it falling . But 2 y ago! anyway for anyone reading the control has 4 arrows 2 vertical and 2 horrz ...but i can tell you it does little in the wind . What you actually have to do is before taking off is pull down both lever S E (down to the right) to... forgot the word but reset it right. then you can play with the arrows trim (full trim will repeat fast beep yet in windy condition it won't do much ) I meant 'to calibrate it' As for the trim ... How to adjust it with the wind? I don't think you'll get it right as one way it'd be perhaps ok then coming back with the wind it'd be far too much.
@@goatgamer7557 I bought mine for my dad, and did the whole "let me show you how to use it" speech. Just so I could use if first. Ten seconds later, it was nowhere to be seen.
@@goatgamer7557 And how you're getting on with the flying now? But it's nice when you or someone can find it again; with trees, houses and bushes you have to have a 3 D vision!
the control you think is for camera is actually the headless button release. The fake antennas are guides. Your suppose to keep drone inbetween for best reception.
I watched every review on this drone because it's my first drone. This review was the best and most in depth, well done! One thing that no one mentions, which for the beginner is important is the Wifi: 2.4 GH is 802.11 b/g/n and the phone Android 4.3 or higher. Most 4G phones have this.
I found the answer ....... My WiFi on this Drone is defective right out of the factory it seems to be a common problem, so my Drone is junk for taking pictures. I'll just learn to fly with it! see: th-cam.com/video/2cYfenIEoCo/w-d-xo.html
Bought one , waited with unbridled anticipation for 2.5 months for it to arrive, took the leap because it said “a good beginners drone”, got it and unpackaged it, fondled it for a bit, took out the destructions , oh SH.... , thought well I’m screwed, can’t even understand the destructions I’m doomed. Till you my hero showed how simple the controls were, granted you used grown up descriptions on a certain few things but I’ll catch on to what “thing-a-ma-dingie” does what. Thank you very much.
I bought a knock off of this product. Even worse instructions. Your video really helped me understand the cheap product I bought. Very informative and thankyou. All controls are exactly the same. I really thought I was going to have to throw it in the garbage. You did a great job explaining this. Cheers

Thank you. I was about to trash this thing because the instructions made NO sense. With your talking me through it I was able to fly around my office at home with only 1 minor crash. Thanks again a million times over.
I have one and took it out for 3 flights today to learn how it all works. I had to search for videos like this because the manual is almost useless. I like it. It's less complicated than the one my father just got even if it doesn't have all the features. It's easy for a beginner get going and fun to fly.
This drone really S__ks Bad, One tiny little bit of wind and it gets blown away. The video recorded upside down. the GPS is terrible and it will break easy. You'll be running all around picking it up from a crash. I don't suggest anyone purchase this crappy drone. What a nightmare
Great instructional video. You quelled my confusion about how to calibrate the gyro and your demonstration of using the controller with a cell phone will help me bunches because the app loses my thumbs as I slide them around on my phone, causing me to crash the machine. I would suggest securing the SD Card with a small piece of cellophane tape as I lost one when I crashed the drone. IMHO this little machine is the ONE to learn on. Using the prop guards without painting them before use with fluorescent paint will save losing them like I have. The prop replacement is a venture into aggravation because the parts are very small-the project took me back to my younger years when I was a hydraulic mechanic on F-4 & F-15 fighters...LoL.
The best looking Mavic clone I have seen yet. And it flies well also. Another great review, and I love how your garden looks with all the leafs laying about.
I’ll say!. What the hell does this mean ( on page 2 of instructions): “... and then place the battery plug at the power supply on the vehicle Into the socket for power connection, connected to open the aircraft power then the aircraft lights’ Does this mean put the battery into the aircraft and switch on?
Thanks! This helped tremendously! Not trying to be a pro quad-navigator, just need to some work done. Your vid was a great help. I got my money's worth
I received my Dronex Pro = Eachine E58 = Mavic Pro copy...lol and came back in here for another look at your video. Every time I watch it I learn something new. Thanks again. Should be fun.
@@meeekstubbular Soon after I committed to buying one, had ordered and paid for it, I foolishly had a bit more of an in depth research of it, and discovered they are absolute crap. Since that post a year ago I have hardly used it and have only just recently got my step son to check it out and he has managed to get it flying. It was pretty inexpensive, so I just wrote if off to experience. I've pretty well lost interest now anyway
@@steiny3353 Thanks for replying :) Yep it's may be not the best and it is not very relatively expensive. But I have been flying for a good 3 weeks now and it's very challenging with any breeze but i manage to enjoy it. So many such things get you going for a while then one looses interest for various reasons ! I guess when my dies again or get lost it'd probably be the end of 'Drones' for me. If you don't have a real need for one it can be a very expensive hobby too!
@@meeekstubbular That's basically what happened to me too. When I finally got it (it took forever) I had a hell of a job flying it in any sort of breeze, crashed it a few times, then put it away for about eight months and forgot about it. Just recently, my stepson asked about it, so I dug it out but couldn't get it to do anything. He got it going, but had the same problem with the wind. Some of the advertising videos for them are very misleading, showing it doing all sorts of cool stuff. It was marketed as a "Dronex Pro" but some of the reviews say it is simply branded to LOOK like a Mavic. It's still at his place and I haven't bothered getting it back. Sort of lost interest too, to be honest. Like you, when it finally dies, that will be all for me too. Thankfully, it wasn't an expensive exercise. Cheers
The best review I have seen for this quad yet. Thank goodness for people like you or I would never have been able to get off the ground (without flying into a wall anyway) The written instructions that come with it are truly awful. My first drone, It's great!
A little area I Built for the grandkids so they won’t get bored... lol Impressive !! liked this video i am going to buy this little copy before the mavic pro. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
My grandfather got me this, although it has a slightly different camera, no SD card slot and a slightly different looking controller. It’s a fun toy. Really want to get a DJI Mavic Mini
I've found that the upper left bump *DOES* indeed, work the camera! one click for snapshots, and HOLD the button down, till you hear the controller beep twice. Hold the button again, till it beeps twice, to stop recording. Also, the front AND back lights flash, when recording, or taking a snapshot!
Cheers Tigger. This little drone with its manual had me right confused until I watched your video on how to set it up. I fly phantoms and inspires and Mavics as a pilot in Spain and for one moment I thought I had been leg lifted with this purchase to carry around on my days off from flying. The manual translation is the worst I have experienced. Cheers ... now it’s flying around under my control and bags of fun when I am not flying commercially.

Only back from flying my drone that you have, get 2 batteries you get over 15 min of great fun. A little beast. The one I got had a case to hold the battery the drone and remote blade guards stands and a choice of one two or three batteries and looks good have 3 batteries charged and you can have about 20min of fun.
I made a really cool replication of this transmitter remote style a few years ago before Mavic came out. I'm going to design an updated version that is even better.
Thank you for this video. i'm a new drone user and the instructions that came with it were not helpful at all. I couldn't even find where the battery was located. Can't wait to get out there and try this thing!
As all ways, nice video. You've got an interesting property. I can't believe the extent you went to developing the play area for the kids. You could open it commercially to the public!!! I allways enjoy viewing your skilled flying. Keep them coming. Dan
Hi Dan, yeah I keep telling the missus I put the toys out for the kids........not sure she believes me TBH LOL Better half does all the clever stuff with the garden, I just do anything with a motor :-) Appreciate the comment, thanks
Love to hear that the controller "antenna" are fake. my drone came in with one broken in half. Never had any remote controlled vehicle before. So there will be a learning curve. Your videos are VERY useful!!
Would you still stand by your words "30% with wind and still"? Not a chance, even 2nd gear it's not enough. And in 3 rd gear watch out if it goes with the wind. 'out of good sight' and you'd probably lose it one way or the other. But with plenty of space like a sport oval it's manageable and fun.
Fantastic demo and review, the best I have discovered on TH-cam. I just received my Eachine e58 drone and have 7 flights so far. I have not used the app yet as I got a warning that downloading that type of file could harm my phone's security. My drone seems to be missing the receiver for the SD card. Perhaps it fell loose inside the drone. Overall, this is the finest value I have ever gotten in my 66 years of living. I cannot believe the technology in this drone for less than $50. I plan to order at least one more for back up as I plan to fly a lot when warmer weather arrives. I also notice someone selling 1200 mAh batteries that fit the e58 drones. I plan to order a 5 split charger and several more batteries to support my drone squadron. Thanks again for a really great review and tutorial.
Drone newb and just got this for my birthday. I've got most of it figured out but what is the headless mode? You just skip through like everyone should know how this works. Thanks for the review besides that!
Oh wow, I'm impressed with the app! The draw-to-fly mode and the gyro tilt control mode look really fun. Can't wait to receive mine. It's waiting in customs.
Nice demonstration. thanks for sharing. Hello, I just purchased this QuadCopter. I am having trouble figuring out how to active the altitude hold without doing it on the phone. The phone app controller is too complicated for me. I can activate the picture and video but I would rather fly the copter with the remote controller; but when I start it it goes up and forward. I cannot get it to hover in one place like I see in so many of the demonstration videos.
Cheers mate, nice review!! It saved me some time, the instructions are bogus.. :) Nice little quad for the price! I don't use the app at all unless I have to line up a shot.. Great fun!!

I just got this drone. Your video was just what I needed - perfect. How can you turn the drone and flight back to you? I can flight out - go left and go right, but how do i turn the drone to go back. I have been backing with the drone, but I like to turn and go back to me and have the led lights pointing at me.
Your review and video are great, I'm feeling slightly miffed that I bought one that is/was advertised in a glossy video ad here on TH-cam via BX Trading and Maxdeals at twice the price of the Banggood site. Just about to find a large field to try it out!
Mike Clark . I did the same shit. Haven’t received mine yet, though. I’ve read a lot of negative reviews over that 50 $. Let me know how it goes or at least if you have any issues if you’ve got the time.
This is an excellent video review and for a beginner explains the operations simply and accurately. As you mention the instructions are very confusing.
Nice video explanation of the controls. I got mine last week and still trying to figure out the controls. The instructions that came with it are terrible.
Worst instruction "manual" I have ever seen. Your video really helped me out. Now I can really enjoy flying this little machine. One other thing, I attached the prop guards first thing. The props hit them. So, removed the guards. Why would they give us these things that are too short? The SD card was another thing I was totally unaware of. Now I can use that too. I will obtain more batteries because the fun lasts too short a time when you only have one battery, and charging takes two hours. Such fun! Thank you so much for the very informative review.
Glad you enjoyed it. Not going to test straight up as you usually lose them, just the slightest breeze and the quad is gone! It will probably do 100m straight up due to no signal interference, but it's very risky to do ;-)
Had a very similar platinum edition. Worked great inside.outside operation proved underpowered in the lightest off winds.video feed was very spotty and always froze at limited range.lot of fun inside with decent wifi feed.as for the return home button ,i should have specified "my home" .lol
Just ordered one the other day, can't wait for drone to get here. Loved the video quite informative , just one question, pls explain the headless mode a bit, I think I'm understanding it a bit , but just give me an example of when and or why someone might use this mode. Thanks
I am thinking about starting in the hobby and loved the video! Also noticed that you have built, maybe a skate board or bmx track? As soon as I saw it,, I thought about my life long hobby, namely, R/C cars,, I could imagine running an Off-Road buggy, on your track,, LOL! Nice post! Cheers!
I am so glad to have found this video. I could make absolutely no sense of the instructions. Thank you very much for producing it. This is my first drone, so I was pretty much lost. One thing I was curious about is zeroing the controls. If I try to fly mine, it goes up and immediatel crashes onto its back.
Thank you so much for this excellent video. Really helps. I live in San Diego, CA and I learned that my ancestry (last name Boyter) is from Fife, Scotland. Would love to see more videos of Scotland if you have it on YT. Thanks again!

I just bought this model for practice and learn how to fly before upgrading to a better version. I'm doing well at crashing indoors- too wild outside at the moment. This is very helpful thanks. Trying to find out how long it takes to charge.
Thank you very much I have bought this for my son as he has had a couple of drones before just toy ones.... You have shown with a bit of practice that it is quite a good flying little drone for a beginner amazing video keep doing what you're doing thank you very much
Tigger, thank you so much for this detailed, yet simple / easy to follow demo. I'm new to this & have just bought a quad drone to compete with my kids (OK, they're 'adult' kids!) after I bought one of them a quod drone for xmas. The instructions with my drone were clear as mud & mostly no use whatsoever (poor translation) as you stated - thanks again for taking the time to do / post this.
Would u be able to do a video on how to make this drone steady and hover. Go more in depth the trim features and button commands on the controller while doing it
So I can insert an sd-card in the slot of the drone,any limits on GB? (..it's not mentioned in the manual..)Does it up the vid quality? Thanks for the very elaborate explanation!
i know it's one y old but some of those similar drone do not take any sd cards in that 'compartment' and you don't really need one if you use your phone.
Thanks for this video, I ordered one of these a month ago and am awaiting delivery. It's my first quad and it looks like I picked a good one for a beginner. I heard that the 720p video is limited to 20 frames per second, is that right? Shame if so.
Pleasure glad it helped, most cameras of this level work at 20fps, usually pay more for 30fps ;-) You saw the footage and chose to get it so I would say the video is ok, enjoy your new hobby, beware it is addictive, cheers
I heard that you are in the Highlands of Scotland.....we just returned from a trip to Scotland and were in Narin and up.....all over Harris and Orkney. I loved it....Beautiful territory......I even just ordered a DroneX Pro....looks like your drone......I havent gotten it yet....waiting.....looks like fun.....I enjoyed your video......and again.....Scotland Rocks.....keep smilin....thanks again, Randall
Thank you for the review. I came looking for instruction on how to fly as the manual is so confusing. The translation is hard to decipher. Great review. Your instructions are clear and easy to understand. As a newbie droner I'm looking forward to learning how to fly. Cheers!

This drone is so cool and tiny.. hahaha. Thanks mate . And thank you for your love as well..💙💙💙💙💙👍👍👍
Mikey
The battery does snap into place. I ordered 3 850 Nmah batteries for it.
I made a really cool replication of this transmitter remote style a few years ago before Mavic came out. I'm going to design an updated version that is even better.
Sounds good, good luck with the designs
Thank you for this video. i'm a new drone user and the instructions that came with it were not helpful at all. I couldn't even find where the battery was located. Can't wait to get out there and try this thing!
As all ways, nice video. You've got an interesting property. I can't believe the extent you went to developing the play area for the kids. You could open it commercially to the public!!! I allways enjoy viewing your skilled flying. Keep them coming. Dan
Hi Dan, yeah I keep telling the missus I put the toys out for the kids........not sure she believes me TBH LOL Better half does all the clever stuff with the garden, I just do anything with a motor :-) Appreciate the comment, thanks
9:51 is the reason I just ordered on. My dad's getting older now so I think it's time for some drone technology!
Love to hear that the controller "antenna" are fake. my drone came in with one broken in half. Never had any remote controlled vehicle before. So there will be a learning curve. Your videos are VERY useful!!
I bought my husband one of these for Christmas and your review was very informative.. well done! Thank you 😊
YAY red lights in the rear and bright white lights in the front ❗Very nice review and flight.Thank you Tigger CHEERS 👍🇱🇷😊❗
Just flew it with a fair bit of wind at 30%,still very steady flight,really becoming a fan of this little drone!
Would you still stand by your words "30% with wind and still"? Not a chance, even 2nd gear it's not enough. And in 3 rd gear watch out if it goes with the wind. 'out of good sight' and you'd probably lose it one way or the other. But with plenty of space like a sport oval it's manageable and fun.
I got a drone that is similar and this video helped me to figure out how to fly with the camera. thank you so much for posting this. :)
Excuse me..which app should I download for this drone? I've just got one now...
Fantastic demo and review, the best I have discovered on TH-cam. I just received my Eachine e58 drone and have 7 flights so far. I have not used the app yet as I got a warning that downloading that type of file could harm my phone's security. My drone seems to be missing the receiver for the SD card. Perhaps it fell loose inside the drone. Overall, this is the finest value I have ever gotten in my 66 years of living. I cannot believe the technology in this drone for less than $50. I plan to order at least one more for back up as I plan to fly a lot when warmer weather arrives. I also notice someone selling 1200 mAh batteries that fit the e58 drones. I plan to order a 5 split charger and several more batteries to support my drone squadron. Thanks again for a really great review and tutorial.
Drone newb and just got this for my birthday. I've got most of it figured out but what is the headless mode? You just skip through like everyone should know how this works. Thanks for the review besides that!
That's my Question too! Was that without the headlights or does it mean something else altogether?
Judging by my own drone's manual, "headless mode" makes the drone fly in a specific direction without you controlling it.
Oh wow, I'm impressed with the app! The draw-to-fly mode and the gyro tilt control mode look really fun. Can't wait to receive mine. It's waiting in customs.
Draw to fly, not for me, but I like the gyro flying, hope it turns up soon, have fun :-)
Nice demonstration. thanks for sharing. Hello, I just purchased this QuadCopter. I am having trouble figuring out how to active the altitude hold without doing it on the phone. The phone app controller is too complicated for me. I can activate the picture and video but I would rather fly the copter with the remote controller; but when I start it it goes up and forward. I cannot get it to hover in one place like I see in so many of the demonstration videos.
trim, trim, trim!!!!!!!
Cheers mate, nice review!! It saved me some time, the instructions are bogus.. :)
Nice little quad for the price! I don't use the app at all unless I have to line up a shot..
Great fun!!
app name?
In Modern Living Rooms Everyone Using "SoundProof Curtains" That Stops Outside Noise by 80% (25 Db) Tested. Check Here: livesoundproof.com/best-soundproof-curtains/
Based on this I bought my first quad (the 4K version). Thanks!
I love the thing at the start where it says what part to skip to so you can see the parts you want
Thank you, that's good to hear, cheers
Excuse me..which app should I download for this drone? I've just got one now...
I just got this drone. Your video was just what I needed - perfect. How can you turn the drone and flight back to you? I can flight out - go left and go right, but how do i turn the drone to go back. I have been backing with the drone, but I like to turn and go back to me and have the led lights pointing at me.
What is the battery life like on it
How long can you fly it
Your review and video are great, I'm feeling slightly miffed that I bought one that is/was advertised in a glossy video ad here on TH-cam via BX Trading and Maxdeals at twice the price of the Banggood site. Just about to find a large field to try it out!
Mike Clark . I did the same shit. Haven’t received mine yet, though. I’ve read a lot of negative reviews over that 50 $. Let me know how it goes or at least if you have any issues if you’ve got the time.
This is an excellent video review and for a beginner explains the operations simply and accurately. As you mention the instructions are very confusing.
One of the best review for this quad, thank you
Hows about stability ? don't touch controls with no wind ?
Thank you :-) Very stable, IMO
Terrible in wind I have one, it will literally blow away. Its extremely light.
@@dalegreenaway Set it to 100% if there is a bit of a breeze. It's easier to go against the wind that way.
@@RPSchonherr you right figured this out only later. Still not great. But fun little drone. Can't complain for the price.
Just bought one. It's currently marketed as E88 or E88 Pro.
A good cheap drone for beginners.
Nice video explanation of the controls. I got mine last week and still trying to figure out the controls. The instructions that came with it are terrible.
Worst instruction "manual" I have ever seen. Your video really helped me out. Now I can really enjoy flying this little machine. One other thing, I attached the prop guards first thing. The props hit them. So, removed the guards. Why would they give us these things that are too short? The SD card was another thing I was totally unaware of. Now I can use that too. I will obtain more batteries because the fun lasts too short a time when you only have one battery, and charging takes two hours. Such fun! Thank you so much for the very informative review.
Great video. Thanks for putting the link for buying spare batteries and parts. I've been looking for extra batteries for this drone.
Nice mavic clone, best one yet I think
With you there mate, for the price it's very good IMHO, cheers
The visuo xs809hw is slightly better I think.
Really liked this review, planning to buy one my self but can u pls show us how high straight up it will go?
Glad you enjoyed it. Not going to test straight up as you usually lose them, just the slightest breeze and the quad is gone! It will probably do 100m straight up due to no signal interference, but it's very risky to do ;-)
Tigger's RC Reviews Ok, thnks
this review was outstanding. it helped me learn how to work mine. thanks for this post......
Got one and had a laugh at the printed instructions. Glad I found your review.
Thanks 👍
Exactly!!!
Had a very similar platinum edition. Worked great inside.outside operation proved underpowered in the lightest off winds.video feed was very spotty and always froze at limited range.lot of fun inside with decent wifi feed.as for the return home button ,i should have specified "my home" .lol
Just ordered one the other day, can't wait for drone to get here. Loved the video quite informative , just one question, pls explain the headless mode a bit, I think I'm understanding it a bit , but just give me an example of when and or why someone might use this mode. Thanks
I think my favourite part of the instruction manual is where it says "do not charge carpet to prevent fire".
I can tell this comment is underrated
haha, perfect chinese joke.
I am a South African I thought maybe I have a language barrier on that comment. Lol
and still there was only an "on" left out. It sounds cute in a way.
for $51 a Drone AND Good advice! Some people hate it, My son loves it and he is a TEST Pilot for Breaking things
Thank you so much my mom told me she had one so I found it and it just had the two batteries and the drone and controller and you helped me fly it
Thank you. I just wanted to know how to arm it.
I just got one of these on the Wish app. I agree with the comment about the badly translated manual. Is there a better one written for this drone?
Google - Eachine E58 owners manual
Yep, another nice one. At this rate you'll have more of these baby Mavic than anything else. Wonder if they will do a pocket Typhoon h.
Thanks Alan........mini Typhoon H nice :-)
bro your vidios are so satisfying dude........
Thank you for the video, wish I watched this video before I smashed the drone into the TV.
Cheers , have a great day !
I am thinking about starting in the hobby and loved the video! Also noticed that you have built, maybe a skate board or bmx track? As soon as I saw it,, I thought about my life long hobby, namely, R/C cars,, I could imagine running an Off-Road buggy, on your track,, LOL! Nice post! Cheers!
I got one exactly like yours ,perfect video ,I hope I can ask you questions if you don’t mind ,I’m a total beginner 👍😎🇦🇺🇦🇺
I am so glad to have found this video. I could make absolutely no sense of the instructions. Thank you very much for producing it. This is my first drone, so I was pretty much lost. One thing I was curious about is zeroing the controls. If I try to fly mine, it goes up and immediatel crashes onto its back.
Great demo thanks. Beginners like me would be lost without such tutorials.
I just ordered the version 3 but drones look rather the same just electronic moving camera
I bought one and could not make heads or tails of their chinglish! Now perhaps I can fly it thanks!
Thank you so much for this excellent video. Really helps. I live in San Diego, CA and I learned that my ancestry (last name Boyter) is from Fife, Scotland. Would love to see more videos of Scotland if you have it on YT. Thanks again!
Thanks for providing what the instructions didn't.
There were a lot of English words but absolutely no English language.

I got this recommended after buying this drone.
Eachine's E58 is my first Drone, it's so much fun!
I just bought this model for practice and learn how to fly before upgrading to a better version. I'm doing well at crashing indoors- too wild outside at the moment. This is very helpful thanks. Trying to find out how long it takes to charge.
Still charging mine. It takes about 2 hours. Kinda curious about the high winds
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the video timeline at the start of the video! Instantly subscribed.
Pleasure and welcome to the channel, take a look around lots of different things I have played tried and reviewed, cheers
Thank you very much I have bought this for my son as he has had a couple of drones before just toy ones.... You have shown with a bit of practice that it is quite a good flying little drone for a beginner amazing video keep doing what you're doing thank you very much
This review teach me how to fly my drone when I receive it
Ohhh man....I hope I can learn all about using a drone. I'm quite daft! Might have the drone delivered in a week or two.
This is quite exciting!🎶🙋♀️
Tigger, thank you so much for this detailed, yet simple / easy to follow demo. I'm new to this & have just bought a quad drone to compete with my kids (OK, they're 'adult' kids!) after I bought one of them a quod drone for xmas. The instructions with my drone were clear as mud & mostly no use whatsoever (poor translation) as you stated - thanks again for taking the time to do / post this.
my manual is paper folded several time, but I woul like to get on in book form, like yours (would help my dislexia) but great demo.
Would u be able to do a video on how to make this drone steady and hover. Go more in depth the trim features and button commands on the controller while doing it
Nice review. I have watched many over the years and this was spot on. Some reason i wanted single malt and and quad. Hmm😁
So I can insert an sd-card in the slot of the drone,any limits on GB? (..it's not mentioned in the manual..)Does it up the vid quality? Thanks for the very elaborate explanation!
i know it's one y old but some of those similar drone do not take any sd cards in that 'compartment' and you don't really need one if you use your phone.
Thanks for this video, I ordered one of these a month ago and am awaiting delivery. It's my first quad and it looks like I picked a good one for a beginner. I heard that the 720p video is limited to 20 frames per second, is that right? Shame if so.
Pleasure glad it helped, most cameras of this level work at 20fps, usually pay more for 30fps ;-) You saw the footage and chose to get it so I would say the video is ok, enjoy your new hobby, beware it is addictive, cheers
HAVE YOU GOT THIS?
HOWS THE VDO QUALITY?
I heard that you are in the Highlands of Scotland.....we just returned from a trip to Scotland and were in Narin and up.....all over Harris and Orkney. I loved it....Beautiful territory......I even just ordered a DroneX Pro....looks like your drone......I havent gotten it yet....waiting.....looks like fun.....I enjoyed your video......and again.....Scotland Rocks.....keep smilin....thanks again, Randall
Thank you for the review. I came looking for instruction on how to fly as the manual is so confusing. The translation is hard to decipher. Great review. Your instructions are clear and easy to understand. As a newbie droner I'm looking forward to learning how to fly. Cheers!
Nice house you got there 🏡 I love how you use the Drone 🙂
