That was something cool Steve! YLRC S135 is obviously a nice deal for the price! Less than 190 dollars with The drone, 3 batteries, rechargable controller, Laser Obstacle Avoider range finder and accessories! The 8K photo advertisements or something 'high resolution' video ads may attract beginners to buy some low cost drone and think that they will get results like that of Mavic 3 or Autel Evo II, but in reality, we professionals know that it is just converted into 8K and is not 'soo clear' as Prosumer or Professional drones, but is ofcourse satisfactory and pretty good for such budget fun drone! This drone's app just got me very nicely...lol The spellings and grammar right there is hilarious and the 'firmwareerr' also gets me every time, *lol* It must have been developed by some Chinese programmers, I think. Anyway, the drone flies nicely and the basic features are good too like follow me, VR mode and... Never mind, it does not have many features than also it is a great deal, not gonna lie. The secondary camera down there is also pretty funny as it viewed and showed the grass of the ground like it was something hellish dried hay kind of thing, again lol. But to be honest, it looks nice with that colourful lights and that Mavic Air 2S+ Mini 3 Pro, inspired body (It looks like their chimera/mixed budget beginner drone to me though) The obstacle avoider did a good job detecting those obstacles and it also looks cool as it reacts with the movement of the drone pretty immediately. But the most important thing of all is the moment when the Laser rangefinder was unable to avoid the thin branch of the tree, and hence the drone got smashed into it, but then also, it stabilized itself and stayed in the air like a boss! That was something I haven't seen in a while! Overall, what else can you expect to be in a drone at a price of 190 dollars!! So, definitely, it seems to be a reliable and durable drone for beginners, to me! Now, I am looking forward for a Mini 3 Pro review video soon! And As well as giveaway! B)
Greetings bro by following your tutorials for some years now. I'm now a professional drone pilot when you introduced sg 907 Pro 2. Greetings from Ghana West Africa. Stay blessed and safe.
I was on banggood and saw this video, and I came over to youtube to comment. You make these videos really easy to watch, nice light entertainment and really informative. Cheers.
This actually looks like a better version of the k-911. The drawing looks extremely similar uses the same app and a very similar battery. The controls are different not much. I have the k-911 and I to tested that obstacle avoidance going into a tree and had the same result except I crashed. Very durable I must say after falling from about 50 ft. No damage other than the battery popped out. Great video and they are always great keep going!
I did enjoy it, and it was entertaining.!😃 I wonder what this drone would have cost if it was offered in 2013 when I bought my first drone. Keep the reviews coming Captain!
For the $ that looks like a winner! With brushless motors, EIS, and a 3axis gimbal for that price it would be a way better start than my first gps camera drone a couple years ago. Video actually looked usable.
it actually does....even just for a cheap back up to have something to shoot with in the air in...or use to get your main drone out of a tree... I want to see more video and range though
I just picked up one of these and I actually really like it. I'm making videos for a fishing business and wanted something inexpensive for shooting over water. I have my Part 107 so I'm going to use this with the follow me mode and circle me (if I can get that to work. Thanks for the vid. Sorry for an actual LOL when you flew it into the tree.
I like your honesty Captain ✨💖👍🏻 you don’t let your friendship with a company dissuade you from being honest about the product you’re showing. “It is what it is”. 👋🏻😌
Excellent information, we bought one and we watched your video to learn how to handle it and take videos and photos. Thank you very much, we learned a lot.
I think that's the best video I've ever seen you do, when you ran the drone into the tree, that was excellent. I can't believe it survived and kept flying. I'd like to see more videos like that where you challenge the drones and actually make them crash. That way I know what not to buy or what I'm buying and what it's limitations are. Excellent video as always thank you very much.
amazing review btw. I was interested in purchasing the newer version of this drone s136 for fishing. I am just wondering how many grams or pounds this drone can carry.
Thank you for the review and tutorial and that is going to help me as a beginner. I just ordered one for myself today. Got very good deal with the total of $120.
Looks a lot like my Temu S132 drone. Mine doesn't have near that functionality or a gimbal and only records about 6 frames per second. But it was also $73. Still fun to fly. Excellent video by the way. Pleasure to watch.
Complete newbies here. Enjoyed this review. Ordered it today (May 16, 2022) with 3 batteries. With your discount code, insurance and faster shipping it came to $177.86 total. That's not too shabby! I won't feel *too* bad when we crash and smash it. LOL
I have purchased this drone a year ago, I decided to fly it now, I have read and followed the instructions, my drone does not take off, so I go and look at the remote controller, there is no bars on RX, and the TX has all three bars. what can I do?
Well Captain !what can I say!; its arguably clear that in this techno age its cheaper to produce a 3 Axis Gimble versus a true high quality video Camera !!!!; regardless, love the improvisation regards the Jeep "Landing" mat (I have used my Sunshade in desperation!!) and if all else fails; the Drone is a very effective tree trimmer!!!😅
Captain your videos are always entertaining smiles and laughter are well needed in today’s society. I think it’s still a decent drone for the price. It looked just like the drone attack that tree got it’s butt kicked then got the heck out of there😁. Thanks Captain
Wow Steve nice video.....for a second I thought I was watching a re-run. The OA device is similar to K911 Max you did a month ago is what threw me off.......🤔
The follow me function seems to work with android systems better than iOS. However, I find that I get note map information with android. Where is I get clear map information with Apple it’s kind of weird.
Thanks mate apriciate the review. The problem I face is in App manual. I can't find it and I can't find tutorial for it. Not sure what to do. It's advertised with many options and capabilities, but I can't use it. It seems to me that people got use to thinking that for $100-200 they get ripped of anyway. I paid for mine A$388 and it's useless.
Usually the Apps on these low cost drones are similar. Once you use one you can figure them all out. Rarely are their instructions for the app because every drone company believes they are simple to use so they don’t spend money on manuals. Are you saying that After watching my video you still find that you are lost? My advice is to watch other reviews and perhaps you’ll see more info and things will begin to click for you. Best of luck. Just keep in mind that all new owners of a drone were in the same situation as you but eventually got the hang of it with time. As you saw in my review, this drone was not always responding to the app on my iPhone. Perhaps it works better on the Android app. If you want a drone with no headaches, get a DJI mini SE.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 The idea of getting an Android did crossed my mind just today. Your video's are informative enough and very helpful, but what I can't find is for someone to use every App software option and show it step by step. i could see some options on my Drone are trying to scan for something, however this process is unknown to me, so I can't complete it. I will get DJI Mavik 2 pro but not as yet, I need to get a bit of a experience first . I am learning to use it in the sea, while fishing, and sometimes we are 30-40km out chasing tunas and having no chance for mistake operating a drone. BTW It's my second drone. Thanks mate appreciate that!
Hey drone pilots, I just few mine for the first time and it was fun, however I need to know how to take pictures with it? I know about the camera button on the controller, but is an SD card required or will the photo go to my phone? Please help!
Thank you for your great informative video. I really enjoyed it. I live in Sweden and I am thinking of buy one of these you showed here. It´s only mu economy that has stopped me, but maybe this month I will order one. The one I choose is with two batteries and the 360 camera to avoid to hit on things. Is there anything I suppose to think of? Have you any good advices to tell? Thank you again for your great video.
Capt. sounded like you were going to rewrite a Blood Sweat & Tears song - to spinning blades go round and round. Looks like this would be a good starter drone. I wonder if the slow response in the controls is due to no antennas? Currently in grey with 3 batteries is $182.99 USD. I didn't expect the drone to keep flying when it went into the tree.
Hey Cap!! Love this drone ...and one other..the jjrc x17 .you reviewed both...in your opinion on $200 or less which would you suggest as best? Or if you have another suggestion I would love to hear about. Want to buy soon!! Thanks
I bought this model, I am not a beginner. With less than a month I lost it. It was flying without problems on a soccer field when changing batteries and it started to fly, everything was fine. After 10 minutes, it started to fly very unstable, then it started to accelerate at a lot of speed in increasingly larger circles. It flew very wildly, I tried to control it but because of the speed. Since it continues to increase, I raise it so that it doesn't crash, I lose the signal and I never saw it again. It was very strange how quickly the speed was increasing. Positive side I will buy the same model since I have more batteries, from Chile
This exact same thing happened with me but I had a different drone called the k911 it started going around in circles quickly increased the speed until it fell far away. Did you end up finding the reason that caused this?
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you.... yes I went 256 gig lol.... I did see further down that you mentioned that. Very sorry to double up on the question.... Thank you very much for this in depth review. It convinced me, love it and looking forward to editing better and better video! And I took your advice on the dual battery.... Have yet to use the back up but I will eventually. Thanks again!
Would you tell us the weight at start of flight w/the obstacle avoidance near the start of videos or w/links please. This is esp important if considering adding an FAA approved Remote I.D. module & staying below 250g. Thank you.
If a drone weighs under 250 grams, I mention that as a highlight at the start of a video review. If it weighs more, then the weight is shown in the UNBOXING portion of the review video. The world is extremely large and every country has different rules. My channel is viewed internationally so items like REMOTE ID are only applicable to US Citizens, and other items are only applicable to select other countries, so I can't pack it all in. In a year from now, drones with REMOTE ID will be sold in NORTH AMERCIA that are over 250 grams and those ones will clearly idicate the remote ID option.
Hi, do you think this drone would be good for inspecting the roof of my house every so often, checking the gutters, etc. What other drones would recommend for this purpose? Thanks Great. vid!
Not really but you could give it a try. I made a video about the best drones for roof inspection and why they are the best. Do a TH-cam search for CAPTAIN DRONE ROOF INSPECTION
Any suggestions for a drone under 200 with 3axis gimbal..?? I was interested for the s135....but after your video i saw that the app is poor. Also you didn't mention if there is a fail safe when the drone is out of distance or the drone lose connection with the controller...does the drone return to home automatically....? Nice video by the way.
How far can this drone travel from you I don't know if I'm setting it upright when I take it up about the house seems like it looses control and hard to fly. Plus when I hit home button and doesn't return to same spot as take off
Hi, a little proposal: would you add to your tests a camera lift test? To see if you are able to attach something like a Insta360 GO 2 or even a GoPro and fly (for better footage).
GPS Camera Drones are not designed to lift anything other than themself. The only drones that can lift something are those specifically designed for it.
Hi again Doc, can I get your opinion about these two drones please? Since you've done reviews on both of these in the past, which one performs better? The YLRC S135 with GPS, 3-Axis gimbal, and Obstacle Avoidance or the SG908 GPS FPV and a (self-described ad) 3 axis self stabilizing gimbal. I honestly don't know if that's a better gimbal than the 3 axis gimbal on the S135 or the exact same thing but with fancy wording. So I added it here for you just in case. I'd really appreciate your take on these two drones, so I can make a sound decision based on fact and experience rather than the hype that manufacturers sometimes offer. Thanks bud. Cheers to Ottawa!
When I take pictures with the drone I cannot find them on the sd card. The app shows that I have taken a picture though. Can you advise me please? Thank you
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hmmmm, I have four different cards :). I will try to format and see if any of them work. I found a setting on the app last night while I was trying everything. There is a picture icon on the screen right before the PLAY screen. That icon has a few things I can try. Thank you for your response.
Is there a drone simulator you can recommend for a rank beginner? Also, do you happen to know of one that works with a DJI DJ6 controller? Thanks for the great videos!
I honestly don’t use flight sims so I’m out of touch there. Sims are for people like yourself to practice on. In the old days I would use a sim called FREERIDER. DJI controllers are not really made for consumer sims, but rather DJI sims.
Hello, Captain! I have the same drone, but it lags and breaks even when I'm a meter away from it. At 30 meters and 10 high, the remote control almost loses range. Records intermittently even on a high-end memory card. Any advice? Thank you!
Only use a 16 or 32 gig card that is class 10. Your phone internal antenna is your range problem. Remove your phone case and don’t fly near areas with wifi.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 would you recommend it? I’ve only ever had super cheap house flyers, but by the time you get it stabilized and ready to fly it seems like the battery is dead. I’ve wanted to buy one, but don’t wanna invest to much right off
BTW steve what was your height and range?? before you lost FPV? and then it could go further on remote and return via GPS? 24 mins battery... yet the OA didn't quite work as well? I'm seriously considering this as some kind of cheaper backup that's not a DJI
Dear Captain. Can you please be on the lookout for a small drone with optical flow, controller (so you don't need a phone) , SD card slot, and onboard EIS without a gimbal (that can break). In other words a true pocket drone that is super quick to launch in less than 10 seconds. 80% photos, 20% video for selfies 20-30 meters away. Because the fact I have to get off my bike, get the drone out of the case, calibrate compass, connect to the phone ( you can't see in the Sun), wait for satellites, all takes too long. In real life you just don't bother and ride on.
Great review (again). Captain Drone, what is your opinion on the new EXO's Drone on the market? I'm thinking of purchasing their model: EXO X7 Ranger PLUS. Thanks,
hello, I want to improve my video capture, since the update of the RX drone app, the video recording is on the smartphone, quality not terrible compared to the first use. Do you know a compatible app for the S135 pro, how to tell my drone or the app to record on the SD card, please help me
I am not aware of any compatible app. The drone will ONLY record on the micro SD card if you have the correct card. This means a 16 gig card that is formatted correctly.
I bought this bad boy! Does anyone know how to adjust the yaw? Even in fast mode the yaw is so slow so it has wide turns...also will this return to home when it loses signal?
People never compare an under 250 gram drone to an over 250 gram drone. If you need an under 250 gram drone than the MINI SE is the one to get at the best price.
The drone flying into the tree reminded me of how I golf! One tree anywhere near me, and can drill it with a golf ball!
Love your reviews. You ARE entertaining and you don't act like a "know it all" like some TH-camrs. Keep them coming.
Holy crap this thing survived a crash mid air....
I might want one! I love how you keep doing these types of drones man. Banggood = kind of the drones
PLEASE NOTE: If you should see a comment from me saying you have been selected for a prize or to direct message me, it is not me, but rather just some scammer trying to get your money. You have been warned!
That was something cool Steve!
YLRC S135 is obviously a nice deal for the price!
Less than 190 dollars with The drone, 3 batteries, rechargable controller, Laser Obstacle Avoider range finder and accessories!
The 8K photo advertisements or something 'high resolution' video ads may attract beginners to buy some low cost drone and think that they will get results like that of Mavic 3 or Autel Evo II, but in reality, we professionals know that it is just converted into 8K and is not 'soo clear' as Prosumer or Professional drones, but is ofcourse satisfactory and pretty good for such budget fun drone!
This drone's app just got me very nicely...lol
The spellings and grammar right there is hilarious and the 'firmwareerr' also gets me every time, *lol*
It must have been developed by some Chinese programmers, I think.
Anyway, the drone flies nicely and the basic features are good too like follow me, VR mode and...
Never mind, it does not have many features than also it is a great deal, not gonna lie.
The secondary camera down there is also pretty funny as it viewed and showed the grass of the ground like it was something hellish dried hay kind of thing, again lol.
But to be honest, it looks nice with that colourful lights and that Mavic Air 2S+ Mini 3 Pro, inspired body (It looks like their chimera/mixed budget beginner drone to me though)
The obstacle avoider did a good job detecting those obstacles and it also looks cool as it reacts with the movement of the drone pretty immediately.
But the most important thing of all is the moment when the Laser rangefinder was unable to avoid the thin branch of the tree, and hence the drone got smashed into it, but then also, it stabilized itself and stayed in the air like a boss!
That was something I haven't seen in a while!
Overall, what else can you expect to be in a drone at a price of 190 dollars!!
So, definitely, it seems to be a reliable and durable drone for beginners, to me!
Now, I am looking forward for a Mini 3 Pro review video soon!

@@Jays_Adventurez I don't. I ended up getting a Mavic mini 3. I'm mainly using this drone just for fun and to let friends fly something.

Thanks, I just do my thing and if the drone does its own thing, well then it makes for an interesting video.
I bought this drone a week ago it's fun, crashed many miles still works really good to have simple fun
I have one and the camera is very good. I recommend this drone.
I wonder how it would do with that 8k enabled. I bought one! I might have to try it
Excellent information, we bought one and we watched your video to learn how to handle it and take videos and photos. Thank you very much, we learned a lot.
I can’t seem to detect my gps on my phone Wi-Fi, trying to connect from the app since two days now
Maybe palm follow, Face follows etc are gesture modes ?

@@gfavre73gf I don't know. That would be a good question for the general forum, you only asked me the question.
amazing review btw. I was interested in purchasing the newer version of this drone s136 for fishing. I am just wondering how many grams or pounds this drone can carry.
Small drones like this are not designed to carry additional weight. It will cause them to fly poorly, and for a very short time.
Thank you for the review and tutorial and that is going to help me as a beginner. I just ordered one for myself today. Got very good deal with the total of $120.

I have purchased this drone a year ago, I decided to fly it now, I have read and followed the instructions, my drone does not take off, so I go and look at the remote controller, there is no bars on RX, and the TX has all three bars. what can I do?
Do you need to register the drone before flying?
Have you tried touching the phone screen for what to follow & where on map to circle?
Please sir what's the difference between s135 pro 3 drone and L800 Pro 2 drone and win resistance or stability
Did they manage to get a 1970s polaroid camera in that drone? The colors remind me of that ….
Except Polaroid was better, the SX70, whew, LOL
Maybe there are wireless wires in the antennas?
If you have to turn on the controller first it probably has a WiFi repeater/booster/relay/thing/whatever.
Great video Captain I watched it six minutes after released 😇
Does the remote controller has AA or AAA batteries?
Well Captain !what can I say!; its arguably clear that in this techno age its cheaper to produce a 3 Axis Gimble versus a true high quality video Camera !!!!; regardless, love the improvisation regards the Jeep "Landing" mat (I have used my Sunshade in desperation!!) and if all else fails; the Drone is a very effective tree trimmer!!!😅

Still decent for the price , Obstacle avoidance and a reasonable camera , That's all Ide really want in a drone .
what type of app do you use? I use the RXDRONE...but it freezes a lot and I can't record...

I didn't expect the drone to keep flying when it went into the tree.
that was impressive... DJI levels of GPS lock and accelerator tech to be able to do that.
who knows maybe they took all the off printing press boards

Hi can some one tell me what I am looking for on my Wi-Fi ? as the drone doesn't seem to be connecting ? thanks.
Hi, Can you tell me how to change the mode 1 to mode 2 on this controller the instructions are not clear to me

any idea why I cant get the on board vide to record? I have formatted both on the pc and through the app.... I am missing a setting somewhere
Likely cause… memory card is much to large. Budget drones tend to use 16 gig cards.

It convinced me, love it and looking forward to editing better and better video! And I took your advice on the dual battery.... Have yet to use the back up but I will eventually. Thanks again!
Which one is best k119 or this one?
Wich one between s162 and this one?
Would you tell us the weight at start of flight w/the obstacle avoidance near the start of videos or w/links please. This is esp important if considering adding an FAA approved Remote I.D. module & staying below 250g. Thank you.
If a drone weighs under 250 grams, I mention that as a highlight at the start of a video review. If it weighs more, then the weight is shown in the UNBOXING portion of the review video. The world is extremely large and every country has different rules. My channel is viewed internationally so items like REMOTE ID are only applicable to US Citizens, and other items are only applicable to select other countries, so I can't pack it all in. In a year from now, drones with REMOTE ID will be sold in NORTH AMERCIA that are over 250 grams and those ones will clearly idicate the remote ID option.
Great video found it very helpful, I'm currently looking at buying one of these drones. Do you have any longer footage of the video quality?
Just what is shown here
Hi, do you think this drone would be good for inspecting the roof of my house every so often, checking the gutters, etc. What other drones would recommend for this purpose? Thanks Great. vid!
Not really but you could give it a try. I made a video about the best drones for roof inspection and why they are the best. Do a TH-cam search for CAPTAIN DRONE ROOF INSPECTION
Any suggestions for a drone under 200 with 3axis gimbal..??
I was interested for the s135....but after your video i saw that the app is poor.
Also you didn't mention if there is a fail safe when the drone is out of distance or the drone lose connection with the controller...does the drone return to home automatically....?
Nice video by the way.
Yes, this drone has all the standard failsafes.
Any suggestions for a drone under 200 with 3axis gimbal....?
@@eurotasos dji mini SE is the best you will get.
Thanks for answering that...I was wondering
The lights are backward. If you are using them for orientation the red should be on the front (red you're dead) green on the back (green good to go)
How far can this drone travel from you I don't know if I'm setting it upright when I take it up about the house seems like it looses control and hard to fly. Plus when I hit home button and doesn't return to same spot as take off
It is not designed to fly near your house. It is designed to fly in a park where there is less interference.
Let’s see if it sees this tree……. Whoaaaa. I’m still laughing, Steve. Funny video. Not bad for under$200.
Not made by Polaroid is it by any chance listening to those photos being taken
Hello what drone it is better between sjrc f11s 4k and YLRC S135 gps 5g wife 8k thenk you all the best
I have trouble getting mine to take off. It seems like I get it all calibrated. Propellers start but it doesn’t take off. Any reason why ?
Needs GPS sats to take off.
Mini 3 please
Hi,
a little proposal: would you add to your tests a camera lift test?
To see if you are able to attach something like a Insta360 GO 2 or even a GoPro and fly (for better footage).
GPS Camera Drones are not designed to lift anything other than themself. The only drones that can lift something are those specifically designed for it.
I'm so gonna buy that drone!
It probably doesn't have the same flight characteristics as my mini 2 but for < 200 bucks you can beat that!!!!
Captain, thanks for this review!
I have noticed one thing about these budget drones, of course the camera's are never that great, but they all seem to fly pretty good.
На какое расстояние максимум вы его запускали?
Amigo aqui no Brasil é necessário fazer um cadastro no órgão, onde pede número de série e fabricante, este drone tem essas informações?
Hi again Doc, can I get your opinion about these two drones please? Since you've done reviews on both of these in the past, which one performs better? The YLRC S135 with GPS, 3-Axis gimbal, and Obstacle Avoidance or the SG908 GPS FPV and a (self-described ad) 3 axis self stabilizing gimbal. I honestly don't know if that's a better gimbal than the 3 axis gimbal on the S135 or the exact same thing but with fancy wording. So I added it here for you just in case. I'd really appreciate your take on these two drones, so I can make a sound decision based on fact and experience rather than the hype that manufacturers sometimes offer. Thanks bud. Cheers to Ottawa!
Is this a s135 pro??
Well, that should help financially! Captsin Drones Tree Trimming Service !
You are a genius, Steve !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
can u reviw dji mini 3 pro
Yes, waiting for mine to arrive
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 nice to hear that
When I take pictures with the drone I cannot find them on the sd card. The app shows that I have taken a picture though. Can you advise me please? Thank you
Sounds like you have these problems:
- your SD card is incorrectly formatted
- your SD card is of a cheap brand
- your SD card is greater than 64 gigs
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Hmmmm, I have four different cards :). I will try to format and see if any of them work. I found a setting on the app last night while I was trying everything. There is a picture icon on the screen right before the PLAY screen. That icon has a few things I can try. Thank you for your response.
Great video, you sound like the announcer for the price is right when you do your unboxing lol 🎤 🎥 🚁 👍
Is there a drone simulator you can recommend for a rank beginner? Also, do you happen to know of one that works with a DJI DJ6 controller? Thanks for the great videos!
I honestly don’t use flight sims so I’m out of touch there. Sims are for people like yourself to practice on. In the old days I would use a sim called FREERIDER. DJI controllers are not really made for consumer sims, but rather DJI sims.
Hello, Captain! I have the same drone, but it lags and breaks even when I'm a meter away from it. At 30 meters and 10 high, the remote control almost loses range. Records intermittently even on a high-end memory card. Any advice? Thank you!
Only use a 16 or 32 gig card that is class 10. Your phone internal antenna is your range problem. Remove your phone case and don’t fly near areas with wifi.
Do you have to have a mobile hotspot for it to run in the field with no Wi-Fi? Or is it just working on it’s on signal
Works on its own wifi. This is why some people use small tablets instead of phones.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 would you recommend it? I’ve only ever had super cheap house flyers, but by the time you get it stabilized and ready to fly it seems like the battery is dead. I’ve wanted to buy one, but don’t wanna invest to much right off
BTW steve what was your height and range?? before you lost FPV? and then it could go further on remote and return via GPS?
24 mins battery... yet the OA didn't quite work as well?
I'm seriously considering this as some kind of cheaper backup that's not a DJI
From memory I do recall it was not what I would consider far away. I could still see the drone.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeah.... that's wifi fpv for yeah.... thanks!
Dear Captain. Can you please be on the lookout for a small drone with optical flow, controller (so you don't need a phone) , SD card slot, and onboard EIS without a gimbal (that can break). In other words a true pocket drone that is super quick to launch in less than 10 seconds. 80% photos, 20% video for selfies 20-30 meters away.
Because the fact I have to get off my bike, get the drone out of the case, calibrate compass, connect to the phone ( you can't see in the Sun), wait for satellites, all takes too long. In real life you just don't bother and ride on.
check the dji mini 3.
@@uac1710 Check the new Bugatti Chiron. I think I will buy 10 Bugatti Chirons in case they break.
How should I sync the image quality? And how far is it?
#ask what the name of android aplication for drone s132.tqb4
The reliable floor mat landing pad. Flys nice. 👍👍✌️
Great review (again).
Captain Drone, what is your opinion on the new EXO's Drone on the market? I'm thinking of purchasing their model: EXO X7 Ranger PLUS. Thanks,
I have never reviewed one. They have sent me their Black Hawk 2 drone which looks very well spec’s out. Eventually I will review it.
Can it be on amazon the drone
hello, I want to improve my video capture, since the update of the RX drone app, the video recording is on the smartphone, quality not terrible compared to the first use. Do you know a compatible app for the S135 pro, how to tell my drone or the app to record on the SD card, please help me
I am not aware of any compatible app. The drone will ONLY record on the micro SD card if you have the correct card. This means a 16 gig card that is formatted correctly.
I bought this bad boy! Does anyone know how to adjust the yaw? Even in fast mode the yaw is so slow so it has wide turns...also will this return to home when it loses signal?
Just saw this drone on EBay and was considering it until you happened ....lol... thanks for the heads up...lol
No problem 👍
Do u think a dji mini se or hs 700e drone is better
What prize
People never compare an under 250 gram drone to an over 250 gram drone. If you need an under 250 gram drone than the MINI SE is the one to get at the best price.
I live in Australia so that rule doesn’t apply
