- I paid $349 US for this drone on sale at B&H. In 2019 the regular price is $499. In 2017 it cost $1200. Powervision has continued to improve this drone so it is certainly a great buy in 2019. You get a 4K camera with three axis gimbal, 3 Mile Flight Range, Optical Flow & Ultra Sonic sensors & retractable landing gear. Here are some places you can find this drone:

It looks like the designer fell in love with the movie WALL-E and made a real life version of EVE.
won the internet
@@SPotter1973 you just age stamped yourself, and so did. I for recognising the humour in your comment 😁
"Nanu Nanu"!
I can't unsee that now

The Things I Love About Your Channel Are The :
1. Upload Consistency
2. The "Meaning Of Business" In Your Videos...Like You Don't Waste Time...Just Start And End..Simple As That!
and he buys stuff from new york lol
@@fireislandmavic5939 Amen to that from NY too. lol
He's the "Real Deal" Drone Captain.
Captain Drone!!
It's the only drone channel I subscribe to
unrepeatable raddish what
I'm sure somebody already said this, but that looks like it came from that Portal game
Hey Captain, thank you for being open minded about new concepts.. seems most reviewers immediately ridicule anything that isnt mainstream. Just wanted to say,, i appreciate you.
I have a mavic pro platinum and I bought this because of your video! I love it!! its crazy to fly but really fun and people love to watch it. I am really impressed by the camera too. It is a very unique and cool drone!
You’ve got to be kidding me, longest prep time ever.
fly it at area 51 and freak everyone out
Hahaahahahha
And it would get shot down..lol
hahhaahahhaha people will shoot at it
@@jonyjohan8958 yeah yeah
What is the price tag now? So the design is for better crash testing?
I've watched several reviewers of drones. You are by far the best reviewer I've watched. You really go in-depth and give each drone an unbiased review and let me the consumer decide if its the right one for me. The Egg is very unique and looking at the direction drones are going this is the future. Great video, keep up the great work and I'll be following more of you. By the way my son fly's the Hubsan Desire x4 and loves it. But looks like I have a motor to replace since last crash.
Ken Herons good, he's funny guy.
After 4 hours and 31 minutes...... Voilà!
It's ready to fly.
Kind of chunky but great camera rotation and fun features. Definitely looks cool with the leg retraction. And 5km distance, wow! One thing I really like about this is that it doesn't look scary or intimidating so others might be more ok with you flying around.
I have to say, this was the most 'egg'cellent video I have seen in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of this drone. Thank you for reviewing it.
Wow, like the coolest drone ever. Biggest toy ever seen, but alot of features. Thx 4 showing on the internet. Keep on flying.
That drone is really WORTH IT for under $400 👍
But not 500$ ;)
Remember that price was still US Dollars. $349 US converts to $465 Canadian. Still better than 1200.00 though
Captain drone's voice is soothing and therapeutic. Incredible stress reduction for me. Excellent and witty, upbeat, informative presentation as always. Keep up the good work sir!
Didn't 'Mork' arrive in this craft???🥚 Man, how history keeps repeating itself!
Can't see myself buying one but very grateful to see it...Thanks!
Damn, this reminds me of the movie E.T. - The Extraterrestrial. That egg with some smoke and some candy on the ground... Yeah thats it! Looks like a really cool drone. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Thumbs up from Sweden!
Mork's spaceship in miniature.
The prep time and all the steps to get started are ridiculous, however if you're not in a rush to get footage it seems like a fun choice and I also like the futuristic feel it has. Perhaps if they made a mini version of it, more people would pick one up.
I’ve seen another flying egg.. but it was a toy, so when I seen the title of this video I said “here we go again”.. as always, you didn’t let us down!! Great video Capt!!
I think it's a good contender. It dose have some very good features. Thanks as always.
I don't think that I want to be around when it hatches.... 🤕🤕🤕
$150 for a SPARE battery. $369 for the Egg. Now I'm over $500 and I can get a DJI Mavic Mini FlyMore for $499 which has 3 BATTERIES. I love the unusual egg shape. I love that the Mavic Mini is VERY compact. I like the more advanced settings for the Egg. I like that DJI is the 800 pound gorilla in this space. If YOU had $500 to spend for a drone that will take great B Roll shots and mile after mile of cornfields.... which drone would YOU pick? :)
I think this drone is unique just the way I like things. It not only flies but it a conversation piece. And you could always telll law enforcement your taking your pet egg for a walk. Please give it some more fly time also. I really like your videos you make flying drones fun to watch and interesting with your comments. Thank You
I mean this is kindest way: You're a mild mannered smart ass. I enjoy you reviews and your tone.
Smartass? I don't get that feeling from him at all. He seems well mannered and besides I grew up in Northern Minnesota and he seems to do a lot of winter flying and l have say his temperament and demeanor is a heck of a lot warmer then the environment he's standing in. Besides he's Canadien and in all the years I lived on a farm in Minnesota making cross border trips to Canada 1 thing stands out and that is how friendly and helpful Canadian people are. This was way back in the early 70's and I've moved to California after Minnesota so I don't know if that still is how Canadian's are. Should be tho Canada has the most beautiful scenery and the best fishing next the fishing in Minnesota . You have to like 30ft snow drifts tho and Sub-Zero temperatures ! 😁🍤😎
that drone is eggcellent!!!!!!
eggactly.

@@tonyromano6220 and so, i1 ends... :)
Dr Eggman called, he wants his robot back.
As usual an excellent video from one of the most easy going guys on the tube. When this was first available in the UK I believe it was almost 2 grand and that is pounds not dollars, now its about 450 so probably worth a look as a fun drone, I can't imagine it would do to well in a crash. Great review just the facts.
Please I want to watch more eggcellent flights! It looks adorable lol.
Great for Easter.. I guess 😁🥚
I call it a WiFi repeater, too. Others might call it foccusynch or lightbidge, but if you take a look inside all you can find is a standard off the shelf wifi module...
How far we have come in three years is just astonishing!
Must admit the design is pretty cool and futuristic :D
If only it was a little more round we could customize it to look like the Death Star
I've seen flying things but this..... This company R&D really have some brains!!!!!
The out of power message was hilarious ... FOB sounding!
Very nice, another great job Sir. Seems basic and reliable. The price and battery-life is GREAT.
This thing straight out of Portal 2
I like the fact that you can turn off the geofencing I wish DJI had that feature. Looks very attractive for $349. Very tempting.
Is it insured by all the kings men?
hahaha
Don't forget the horses!
Make it round and make it make sounds like the drones from the movie "Oblivion" with my favorite actor Tom Cruise...
That drone made scary loud sounds
Wow, for that price it's an absolute bargain!! It's over $1,000 in Europe! Thanks again for another awesome review 👍
I would be all over this drone for that price except I just made ARRMA richer yesterday when I found one of their limited (not limitless) Infractions. Trying to be a functional RCer and not a blantant abuser! I loved the look of this Drone when it first came out, and now the price has dropped significantly. Another well done review my northern friend.
I have a review of the Infraction coming up.
THIS, is what I call a GREAT review
$350 was a 'cracking' price.
Always power up the ESCs with the drone on a level surface to allow the gyros to calibrate properly.
This drone is eggsactly what I need for the kiddos!
That thing is crazy cool!!! Nice price for what you get.The weight makes me nervous. If that thing hits a car, person or a house it's gonna leave a mark LOL.
I love the super unique design!
This drone was designed to kill Sonic The Hedgehog.
Low Dough Tech XD LORL
....reminds me of “day in the life of a turret” ( old Machimia comedy parody of Portal turrets....awesome)
This is some real Aperture Science looking tech
Hi Captain Drone this is one of the the best looking drones I seen in a long time I love everything about it the looks the flight all around unique looking drone absolutely love it have to get myself one absolutely love you and your channel Dear Captain fantastic job as always sincerely your friend Captain Richard ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In my opinion, this is a great idea, love the price point, but the dji mavic mini just kind of one ups it in all ways from flight time to range to portability. Honestly if the dji mavic mini wasn’t around, I’d get of these for sure but the mavic mini just seems to kind of make it a bit obsolete. Also great video Captain!
Skipp Dunlap I love my mini
@@concretecat me too but I wish it had follow me mode.
I'm going to have to get one just for the auto legs....too cool
Wow! Very cool Conversation Drone! I like it. Captain! Tks. For sharing it with us!
Pretty cool design hey... Got some serious features for the price... at $349USD you'd be mad not to buy!!
Thank You for the review Steve! Retracts are always cool!!!
All it needs is a little green man attached to one of the landing legs that will appear when the legs extend....
When you lowered the legs (after pressing button 3 times really quick) I was hoping that a little smoke would have come out the bottom too :)
Good group of guys flying their planes I visited with them for about 45 minutes when I was in the area.
WOW!!!!!! That is AMAZING. I have never seen anything like it in my life. Straight from the Planet Mars. Or it's Morks UFO Egg from the old Tv series "Mork & Mindy" LOL!!!!!
”It’s like a little alien ship.”
”E.T phone home.”
wow eggsquisite drone that egg-cerlerates quickly, eggs-press lane, eggsit stage left ordered direct from New Yolk city
I always love your videos... you are very genuine and forthright in personality and you are funny too.. very awesomely awesome video as always!!!!
Thank you
Really good video as always. Have finally made up my mind on my first drone to buy and have ordered a Power Egg.
Fingers crossed I can fly it now. Thanks again Captain Drone for some truly superb videos and advice.
Love the unique design, was thinking about getting one. At the same time, if you can save about four times as much though, the DJI and Autel options can record a little better 4k video, at least in theory, since the MB/S is quicker
I´ve got some cravings for some boiled eggs right now.
Captain Drone, you're the BEST! Good, concise reviews that one can trust. After flying a Phantom (great drone) but not wanting to spend that much, I found your review of the Power Egg and thought, for a neat drone that has a great camera but won't break the bank, I'll go for it. The price HAD, indeed, gone up, but (and maybe I shouldn't divulge this) with an email from me asking if there were any promotions, they did actually provide me with a promo code that knocked some $$ off so I bought one. Only have 3 flights under my belt but so far, so good, kind of. My little glitches are as follows:
When I first set up to actually fly it, as it performed the self check, the SD card and the Gimball tests were highlighted in red and said "abnormal". Like the brain Igor found for young Dr. Frankenstein. In an attempt to clear the codes I shut everything down and restarted which is the extent of my abilities. Same thing, but I figured, since it had nothing to do with the flying part, I would go for it and there were no problems. Everything worked fine and the next time I flew it there were no problems and all the self checks came up clean and green.
The only other issue so far has been that I can't seem to get the one button takeoff to work. I am using the "N" mode. Any thoughts?
I will close by saying that I called the Power Vision folks and they returned my call the next day (I had called after hours) but they didn't really have an answer to why those checks were abnormal or what to do if it happens again.
How about a review of the Power Eye? Thanks !! George M
Power Eye is expensive!!! If the company sent me one to review, I'd review it. The power egg is one I purchased myself.
Here's an update, and it has to do more with my learning curve than the drone-- MAYBE
No more trouble with the self check. All seems good here.
The one touch takeoff is working too. Apparently the motors have to be on and the props turning for this to work. Now it works well.
One thing does bother me and that is flight time. I'm trying to do some comparative flights to see how it does but so far it wants to land or return to home with 25%-30% left on the battery, at least according to what the display on the controller tells me. Also, the flight time will say 5 minutes left but the drone comes back and lands. I have been VERY careful in my testing, keeping the drone within about 200 meters of myself and keeping over open cornfields etc in case of trouble. I purchased an extra battery to see if the performance improves, and have sent a detailed email to the company to get their input so I'll see what happens.
Keep in mind that I have about 1 hour total flight time so to say I am inexperienced and very cautious is putting it mildly. And I certainly am not trying to steal Captain Drone's thunder by putting my findings on his site; in fact, Captain, please feel free to delete all this if I have overstepped etiquette here. But I'm having a BLAST with this thing and just wish I had half the skill with this that the Cap'n has!
@@georgemorrison9387 Yes, most drones with brushless motors will not take off by pressing the take off button, unless you have already started the motors (safety issue). You can set the battery level in the app to determine when you want certain features to kick in. If you set it too low, then you have to ensure the drone is close because it may not have sufficient power for return to home. I hope to get more flights with mine in the future. I'm like you, with under an hour of use so far.
Cool eggy drone 😁👍🏼... With good camera also... Great video capt, really enjoy your review 😀👍🏼
Great review, thank you. Good performance for the price, the bizarre shape is a bit off-putting for me. A bit like the Inspire, say goodbye to your camera in an emergency landing/crash.
So if I get twelve and paint them all black I can play "Arrival".😂😂
That thing is the most futuristic drone I've seen! Very cool!
If you have to make an emergency landing that camera is toast. :o I love the way you demonstrate things though. Thank you for sharing that one with us.
I have had a few emergency landings and in each case the legs popped out super quick and landing was safe. I just wouldn't fly this over water without keeping a close eye on the battery level.
Wow, thanks for the info. That's good to know.
That thing is sweet!! Great video Captain. I would like to see a distance test if you could. Or just some more flight time. Thanks for another great vid.
Father-son Fun I agree I’d love to see a range test. I find it hard to believe the 5 km
@@ridgeflyer3220well i went just over 2 miles with my egg.got the video to prove it ...but 3 miles is pushing it ..cant be no wind at all
$399 usd currently, 4.6lbs and very bulky but price justifies the fun factor. A dji spark similar price and fits in your pocket🤔
No one need "The Egg", the Price must go down!
I wont to go nd fly with this nd put it on a Sideboard at Home, looks so creapy nd interessting!
Thanks for the Video! (:
I don't know even if there are going to be any of these drones around when I decide to pick one up but this one is so cool, and I like things that are different.
Nice! The power egg interesting! The 349 is a pretty good price. I'm curious about what photographic still capabilities are available in the app and camera link pano, bracketing, timelapse, etc. Now that you have some experience with it. Hope to see more detail on these features thanks.
At first I thought you had to throw the drone, like a dove to start the flight
Future of dinosaurs egg
Captain Drone have you been holding the Egg back from us!Lol I think the flying Dirty Dipper Disposal Unit or Personal Satellite is Awesome!Please fly more Distance test be cool!Every thing about it speaks to quality. What not to like about it,except 4 pounds falling from sky worst case scenario. But Honestly it worked better than most things seen!I appreciate you showing The Smart Egg to us viewers!
Keeping it real Captain Drone happy a bunch of stickers about your channel don't Clutter content and products up
GOOD STUFF KEEP IT COMING
Cool factor, off the scale.Thanks for this review.
Dress it up in a pumpkin outfit for halloween and scare people
When you said "I don't know which way is up" I believed you.
Egg-cellent 🥚 drone video demonstration. 🌝
So, you should have given this "Egg" a Grade-A rating! LOL :)
LOL, I like how other companies are trying to make their drones more portable and powervision is just like "What if we make a huge drone that looks funny?"
Thanks for sharing this, I was always interested in these and if the price has dropped I want to grab one for my drone collection. It is truly a unique drone.
🤣This has to be one of your best. I'm suppose to be to be doing something VERY important but saw this and thought I'd take a glance 😂. I should have known better. I'll come back to watch the rest later. Excellent!
Thank you
Neat idea but flawed. Weight distribution I think is bad. The cg is low from the looks of it. So itll cause a pendulum effect causing the motors to work harder and the gimbal
I love it! I'll bring the 🥓 bacon...lol
Awesome video my friend!
it came down from Mars. you are the best drone man 👌👌
Amazing the changes over the past three years... the next few years should be interesting.
Very capable drone for the price. I would like to see what kind of pictures it takes for photography
Original but honestly I don’t really see the point of that form factor, apart from impressing your friends 😊
the whole idea is to lower the c of g to get more stable video. I don't think the firmware is up to the task though.

Pretty gimmicky if you ask me.
360 degree view, no exposed props when stored, no props in video footage... Maybe more?
@@icebird76 Yeah but one can yaw 360 and honestly it doesn't seem to me that practical to store if compared say with a folding drone. Anyway I'm certainly not dispising it, it's original and it seems to work well but, not really my cup of tea...
Thanks for the demonstration, well done! I appreciate folks stepping out of their box and introduce something new and unusual.
How cool is this drone! Looks like tons of fun! Great review....thanks Captain.
Looks like 'Eva"in movie "Wall-E" don't you think?
Cool drone it just needs a return the home with low battery.
That was my fault, I canceled the RTH on the second takeoff so it basically said... I'm landing here and now.
it does have return to home when the battery gets low......plus distance if youre goin out over 2 miles it will let you know battery threshold.....
discoverneweyes They have the battery on sale at Amazon
Well now that’s different. Kinda like a flying security camera lol. Thanks Steve this one is cool
I can't say that I hate it , but it is one weird drone . At least the designers thought out of the box . I have to say , it seems to be really advanced , who knows it may grow on me . Great video on it Cap and ill be watching for the next one ...
