I have had my Autel X-Star Premium for about 6 months now and what a very impressive set of features and reliability. I cannot give this drone enough compliments. The quality of the camera, ease of flying, exceptional return to home feature and the range of operation just hits it out of the park. It is very important to calibrate the compass and should be followed especially when taking this to new locations. I do need to look into possible lens filters for the camera as when flying in certain light conditions this will help reduce lens flare when shooting into the sun and to help tone down highlights. Cannot wait to see what Autel has in store with new replacement camera options!
Do you still have this or the battery? My battery died after 7 yrs. Can’t find one anywhere
Tim Schofield has to be the most underrated tech blogger on you tube. I really enjoy his content. There are no fancy animation, corny back ground music. Just upfront get to the point review of the product. I used to enjoy MKBHD but his review seems odd and gimicky now. I don't see any bias. Saying what he doesn't like about a product without bashing it. Very professional in his words. Hopefully he gets more support for his channel and get companies to send him more products to review.
Be sure to check the alignment of the antenna on your remote when you fly. Youll want to twist them so the flat parts are facing each other and keep them parallel with each other and slightly bent towards your phone. The manual will have a picture to illustrate.
I like how you do more reviews on different equipment than smartphones, sponsored or not. Keep it up!
Glad to see you into the quads to Tim!! I've been following you ever since I got into the smartphone thingy. I've been flying quads for a few years now and also have this bird as welll alongside a phantom 3 standard , pro and a Typhoon H plus a couple racing quads.
Great video!
awesome! Love the scenery and descriptive you are about it.
As soon as you opened the case and I saw the orange drone I smelled orange tic tacs lol
great video Tim ..! really like your videos and just couple more than 300k whoooo..!
Man what a great review that was! Keep up the good job.
Wanna see your CES 2017 stuff if you re going that is..
Nice! Keep up the great work with the great videos
Hope you respond
this drone is awsome ...I got mine a few days ago...loving it ..
Eric DJ well worth it? I'm considering the dji mavic
michael mcgee ..yes it is worth it...obstacle avoidance is really highly over rated..ive seen them crash into things anyways it's just not worth the $...plus unless you want something really compact..the Autel is just better and customer support is awsome...other brands ...well not so.
Excellent and informative review. Thanks!
I love the x star!! Be careful, its addicting!
Please 🙏🏼 help me
What aplicación have to unload in my smart phone
I have the same show in your video
Starlink
When packed in the carrying case the camera and gimbal is on the bottom. The camera cutout fits snugly, with wear this will put weight on the camera needlessly. I took the foam out of the top and bottom of the case and turned them 180* so now the battery compartment is on the bottom and the camera faces upwards toward the carrying handle.
Good review... the left stick right and left is the Yaw function in aviation terms. It would be like using the rudder pedals in a plane or helicopter. Do you know the Range? Did you set the Return to home Altitude? yes, always have extra batteries, 23-27 min is the best you are going to get with any drone in this class. The DJI Phantom 3 series and above is almost exactly the same but they have a 3.1-mile range, and the new Phantom 4 Pro, and Mavic Pro has a 4.3-mile range. Now even if you're not going that far it's good to have the power to bust through hundreds of wife routers if you are near a neighborhood, or Radio, Television, Police, Fire and all the other interference that could cause a fly-a-way. Excellent Video! I'm liking this brand more and more. I just saw the prototype from CES 2017 with 360degree obstacle avoidance. Now that will be the bomb! They have had a dual regular and FLIR camera on it!! If they would just get the range up on the new prototype they would give DJI a real run for the money. Again great job!! :)
Keep up the good work
Hi Tim! Love ur Videos
Great Drone. !!!💥
i watch ur all vids... amazing
Have this thing. amazing
So cool!!
not connected to wifi or cell network? not doubting you im just curious. how does that work?
Is it louder then the phantom, if not is it louder than the mavic?
Do you still have this or the battery? My battery died after 7 yrs. Can’t find one anywhere
How far can it go with the live view? EDIT, nevermind I just did some more technical research into it and the range is crazy, some people reporting more than the advertised 1.2mile range because this one uses the 900mhz frequency to transmit video and not the regular 2.4ghz range which can get a lot of interference since everything runs on 2.4ghz. Definitely considering this as my first quad.
what do you use to make this video. thanks for sharing. what equipment? software for editing and music?
really nice video 🙂🙂
Thanks for the video! I like going in the outback where there is no cell signal. Will the "return home" feature still work in that situation or the GPS? What other features would not be available?
Does this drone have No Fly Zone restrictions or any way to tell if flying near NFZ's? Thanks, great video!
hi tim nice review
Tim great video fyi your amazon links seem not to be working ....... keep up the great work buddy
Bill Suffolk it's 749 dollars
you would think that the technology that they built for these drones would be greater like say put a solar panel kinda like on the drones to keep it charged up.
Is something wrong with the audio? Mine doesn't sound good.
WELL IS 2024 AND IM THINKING ON GETTING THE AUTEL X-TAR DRONE. I SEE THEY HAVE IT ON EBAY
first thing you did wrong is you didnt tell your viewers to ALWAYS calibrate the compass. This is one of the main reasons flyers get whats called 'fly aways'.
He also did not show to power on the transmitter before the aircraft.
No, it is not the main reason. The main reason for 'flyaways' is calibrating the compass when it is not necessary.
Did you buy it or was it sent to you for review?
don198769 he said at the start of he video, "thanks for sponsoring this video". That means they sent it to him.
iAwesomeAlien thanks, I honestly missed that part.
I know you're new to drones but 25-30 minutes is standard when it comes to the top of the line drones.
What's the charging time?
Adhirath Deshmukh 45 mins to an hour
your antennas are orientated wrong. they need to be parallel with each other and pointing up.
No the limit is NOT 400' Learn 2 read what the rules ACTUALLY say and look up the FAA letter from July 7 2016 about the 400' "rule". Even for a 107 flight it is 400 foot radius of a structure for example meaning you can fly 400' above a structure if you remain within 400', so you could fly well over a thousand feet AGL if you were flying say over the Sears Tower.
Hey Tim , can you please name the track played at 4:40 ?
Definitely I love you By Jincheng Zhang
Hey Tim, your videos are awesome but you need to go in a little more in depth on the quality of the videos!
It's a really awesome drone
You should also try a dji phantom 4
hi please call me mymo no 959585798-
at the beginning of the video i got a how to basic vibe :)
Where did the word Drone come from?
Drone is also used to describe a low "humming" noise which most drones make.
I'm waiting for the new MacBook videos 😀
my dad and Lil brother have one my dad is bigger and my Lil brother have a smaller one 🖒
TWIST the drone! My god if you knew anything about flying a drone its called YAW. Geez..
bought my X-Star Premium. flight battery bad out of box cant get any one from Autel Robotics to answer the phone there customer service sucks thank I am taking this thing back would not recommend this to any one
Just Say no until Autel fixes it's bugs.Anyone who believes this hype wow. I own both the phantom 4 and the orange pumpkin. Aka Autel robotics x star premium. Autel's app has video lag wow, their drone is not as stable nor does it have the range again wow. Annoying video interference prompts all the time sub par antennas. And the go home button to go home is fine till you have head wind and the drone just sits there draining you're battery. And if you try to push the right stick forward on the Autel in go home mode it will still sit there. On Dji in high wind you have two options in go home push the right stick forward. And or fly home in sport mode with gps. That's another thing the dji app let's ya know where you're drone is and you can fly it back home via google maps even gives ya street address numbers satellite or hybrid view. And also a flight log that is re playable to find your drones last location.. With Autel your like where is it??? Also the Autel app is less refined some stuff doesn't work Ios to Andriod. Just say no. 2 different Orange drones same problems. And I returned it both of them. Like I said phantom 4 owner it just doesn't compare. Fly your Autel x star be proud but in high wind it's like flying a orange kite. Very trouble some to bring it back almost lost it 3 times. It's enough for me. I ordered a second phantom 4.. Autel does a few things right nice kit and great support. Other then that it doesn't compare. You get what ya pay for heard that saying in life?
