Honestly mate, what do you expect for 23 Euro's - a battle ready drone to be sent over to Ukraine for the war effort!!! It is a toy and should be treated as such
Lol I think the attitude regarding drones in Europe is slightly different from North America. I hear real drones in Europe are quite a bit more expensive than they are here. Still, I am new to the hobby so I didn't know what to expect, but normally you can dispute something like this if it arrives as not as described. In this situation AliExpress solidly sided with the seller and didn't refund me. Hope that proves your point 😂
It annoys me seeing people who normalise scams “what did you expect for $X”. I expect getting what was listed mate. Not everyones an expert on the things they purchase or knows the market value of the parts, to gouge the feasability of the list price to spot a scam. Not to mention same shit is sold in the west with a 500% markups since actual parts tend to be dirt cheap.
@@SLPSRockschinese websites are really bad and infamous with regard to bait and switch. You should know that about these websites before purchasing anything. For example, it's common to advertise expensive item like a whole sewer camera for $80 and when you click on the item, you actually are only buying a small replacement part for that price. You can easily get tricked. Same goes for drones - with these cheap drones, you never get what's advertised and you have to be cognizant of that. I bought multiple of these cheap drones and knew what I was getting, so I am pretty satisfied with my purchase, which I intend to use mainly for hacking and spare parts for my better drones (Eachine E58/E520S) and letting my daughter destroy it while having fun.
On October 6, 2024, the V88 drone is sold in Aliexpress at about $15 or 13.6€... For that price, even with the crap camera, 100 m control range and no GPS nor obstacle avoidance, you still get a BRUSHLESS drone, with working camera and live video transmission to the mobile (I guess it also can record video / audio to a microSD). Not too bad, anyway.
That was not the price I purchased it at. 50 CAD, and it used to be more expensive than that before I uploaded this. Now that everyone has caught on they reduced the price...
@@SLPSRocks Yes, your video was helpful to unmask the false features of this dron. On the other hand, very similar drones are currently sold on Aliexpress at even 10 €.
Thanks for the video. I know it's cheap but the sellers should not lie about it's features. Customers will pay more for extra features. All this does is customers will lose faith in Ali express
Already lost faith with AliExpress. AliExpress will make it all better with a dollar coupon.....how wonderful after waiting weeks just to get ripped off.
@@InternetExplorer-s9g Not true, many other sites sell cheap drones and are quality checked before being shipped. A liar is a liar is a liar and always a liar, find a different seller or site to buy from.
Seriously don't buy it, it stopped working after 2 weeks I kept using it. The transmission got worse and worse and eventually it crashed and broke. Don't waste your money unless you just want to fly it around the house like a toy chopper
Honestly, I have tried several drones now and all the drones under 300$ are sort of garbage, way too stressful to fly and their video is ugly. For hobby flying, I would recommend you get a drone with at least a 1KM-3km transmission range, 2.7-4k resolution and with a Gimbal ideally. Always buy a drone that can capture footage on a microSD, never buy a drone if it doesn't have a SD card. Holystone HS720R is a neat one I test flown recently with super smooth footage, I think the Holystone drones dominate the international market and are cheaper than the competition, but they too have quality control problems and are known to have battery charging issues from time to time. luckily their customer service is decent. If you must get a sub250 drone for legal regulations in your area, get a potensic atom or a DJI drone. They cost more but honestly in the long run you will thank yourself when you fly the drone and return it in once piece without crashing it into someone's property. If you asked me what I would do, I would save up for a sub250 drone because the laws here are a son of a beech.
The weight is 138 grams. Probably a dead giveaway in retrospect, but any real drone would use up the full 249 grams as it's quite challenging (and expensive) to get it all under 250.
I have a similar drone. Unusable shaky low res camera. The second botton firing camera is actually only for positioning the drone. Flies ok but only in low wind Battery will only last about 10 minutes but takes about 2 hours to charge Range is very limited maybe max 20 metres, not more and the drone can fly away in wind so be careful To be fair its fun to fly especially in a large indoor area. Just dont expect too much for such a cheap drone
If they were honest about what it could do, I wouldn't have any problem. The issue is they are a drop shipping service and they scam thousands of people. Even if they scammed for only 5 dollars. If they sold to 300 people thats 1500$ they stole.
This thing is nothing more than a RC helicopter with a shitty camera on it. It doesn't scratch the surface of what an entry level GPS drone can do. Truly, would not recommend it. Smash it as much as you want but the minute you crash it into your neighbors window don't say I didnt warn you
Yes these cheap drones are pretty bad. But on the other hand, if you now what you are getting and only pay rock bottom price for them ($10 USD or less including tax/shipping), it's not a bad toy to play with and tinker.
Not at all the case. My dispute video was rejected by AE. Made several attempts to explain the situation, they sided completely with the seller and didn't even give a partial refund. I found this particularly strange, they closed the dispute very quickly. It made me quite angry, but I honestly upload videos here to help folks. This video was probably the undoing of the drone scam operation of that seller and others on AE lol, I have seen fewer fake toy drones listed on there and its only been three months.
About 50 meters before you start to lose control. On a clear sunny day it may go a little further but it has no wind resistance so it will not be stable at high altitude
Yes I got mine for $10 (including tax/shipping). As long as you ignore all the lies in advertising, it's pretty nice toy. And even if you lose it or break it it's not a big deal.
😂😂😂😂 I am going to be a good sport about this whole drone situation. I bought one of these cheap plastic junk and the damn thing just flew away, I never saw it again. The only thing I have left is two spare batteries and a remote control. All I could do was laugh as I saw it flying away😂😂😂😂😂. Lesson learned, don't buy cheap plastic junk.
thank for the tip. I aldrzady have a dji but was quite interresting by the price of this one. So, if it's only crap, then this is an expensive CRAP ! 😛
To you 2 clowns beneath me the point hes trying to make is the validity of the description of the specs.Hez brought to light for those who dont know much about drones important facts.And exposed the lies these dealers/manufacturers have had us believe .So thats a GOOD thing aint it.
Wow that takes me back. I bought a cheap drone like that it was called an e58. It was junk but 4 years later I'm still into drones😅😅 it started an addiction
It’s just silly that nobody warns people new to buying drones that companies will blatantly lie to sell drones. Idk it’s just not right but I see what you’re saying about it being fun at the beginning
@@SLPSRocks oh yeah it's bad. Like the phone you mentioned. I watched a guy break one down and the 2 of the 3 cameras were fake. It was running a bootleg fw made to look like ios. Pretty impressive on the lengths they take to fake it. And this was all stuff from aliexpress and banggood
@@SLPSRocks but in my case after that first drone I bought I got super curious and now I build my own fpv drones. If I wouldn't have bought that toy drone I would've never found fpv. It changed my life
Actually, Eachine E58 is pretty good cheap drone. Pretty decent 120 deg wide angle camera and DVR to boot. None of the cheap drones these days have that kind of feature. I play with my Eachine E58 and also other super cheap drones, but E58 really stands out in picture quality. Too bad it's out of production and impossible to buy one new now.
I need to practice drone flying anyways so I bought this last night before this vid... Thankfully they are slow af on shipping so I cancelled this mf thanks for this video
It was 50 CAD or 36 USD... Also, they used to say the same about TVs and Laptops from 1990-2010, Today the reality is that a big screen TV costs half to a fifth of what it used to cost. So don't give me that crap about what did you expect. Lots of people get scammed. I wasn't expecting all the features to be there but at least one or two... but none of them? Are you kidding. It was just a long list of lies on that listing. I never saw that level of scam before from AE. Not the only fake drone ad thats out there currently. It was time to alert the people.
Yes these cheap drones are meant a s toy. But I use my Eachine e58 as a tool more than a toy. Since E58 has nice 120 deg wide angle camera and DVR as well, I can use it to fly over my house and take video to check condition of gutters, roof etc.
Honestly mate, what do you expect for 23 Euro's - a battle ready drone to be sent over to Ukraine for the war effort!!! It is a toy and should be treated as such

@@SLPSRocks yeah they thought was what he received worth what he paid, you got $20 for $20, not 300 for 20, we can all dream
If it was made in the west I am pretty sure it will cost over 150$ as it is 😂😂😂😂😂… so yea . 23 euros …. It’s cheaper then a dinner at ms Donald’s 🤡🤡🤡🤡

How did expect a 5 km range when you spent less than $100 ? Any dronw less than $100 is a toy.
These type of review videos are very useful to prevent people falling for scams/traps! Thank you to the uploader.

I got one of these drones and it is so useless the sellers are full of lie nothing good about the drone even if your kids want to use it as toy
I actually got scammed, came across your video while searching for videos to guide me
Tanks bro I almost bay that s drone do you now the v168?
it was £11 what do you think you was buying
Thanks, you convinced me into buying this product.
Seriously don't buy it, it stopped working after 2 weeks I kept using it. The transmission got worse and worse and eventually it crashed and broke. Don't waste your money unless you just want to fly it around the house like a toy chopper
How bro thank for teaching me cuz I was going to buy it but u really saved my life I fell bad for u😢
Thanks for sharing. I plan to buy but now i change my idea. Which drone do you recommend all?

Review the S6 please?
It's bout the same price & I think it's a lil better
How much does this thing weigh? Is it

Mine is just clearly out of control. I have done everything but it's just out of control
Wish I'd seen this before I bought it !
It looks like your phone is the problem and not the drone
I tried the drone on several different phones including the newer Samsung and iPhones. The same result.
It costs from 15 do 25 euros, for that price i think its good enough. Try to sell it for 30/35 😂

Hi friend! Do you know the FCC ID of this drone?
On AliExpress they sell it for 30 euros. Did you really think you had a DJI in your hands? 😂
How are things?! Love it~well !
i like how the actual camera recorded footage looks like old VHS tapes :D very retro hehehe
Thank you, I was thinking buying one.
Mine goes backwards idk what's happening
U must calibrate the drone
@@Rankotivi ...There is no amount of calibration that keeps this particular drone stable
I ve just got mine, I bought it as a toy but it doesnt connect to my iPhone
If anybody has an advice I’ll take it please 😅
Please don't buy. I learned the hard way, mine flew away 😂😂😂, I guess it's going back to China.
@@jermynwilliams7084 lol😂😂😂😂
Great price for a new to drones experience... Better smashing a cheap one before spending more money on a expensive drone!

I bought one. its cheap and nasty but its my first introduction. I may buy a FPV/DJI one next.
well, im with you buddy, but to be honest, you can't be scammed by paying 35-40€ for a drone :)
So you can't record a video for the refund, but your able to manage to post one to RUclips?
Not at all the case. My dispute video was rejected by AE. Made several attempts to explain the situation, they sided completely with the seller and didn't even give a partial refund.

How far is the flight?
About 50 meters before you start to lose control. On a clear sunny day it may go a little further but it has no wind resistance so it will not be stable at high altitude
V88 drone it's Xiaomi, but not Lenovo
