My mother needs one of these. She is a fantastic cook and it sure would be handy for her to be able to chop carrots, slice pickles and tomatoes, and make a smoothie all at once. Oh, and she might let me use it to capture amazing aerial footage also. Thanks for posting. I hope to be ordering one of these soon. I have done my research and feel this is by far the best FPV drone for the money.
G' day from the land down under. I agree with everything you said. It's a fantastic drone. I have owned 3 DJI phantoms and always flew in fear. This thing is just fantastic. So for all the "unsure" people out there, get it... this is the best drone for the money.
I now own the Autel and am so moved by the quality of the unit and camera system. I used to have a Phantom 1 and for 3 years did a lot of videos. But using the GoPro camera was good but no where near 4k video. This is one very awesome aerial system!
Rock-crawling and 4-wheeling in my Jeep. Recording beautiful scenery and participating in two hobbies at the same time; 4-wheeling and flying the Autel X-Star.
I guess the primary reason I would want a camera drone, like the XSP, would be to "explore" - visually. Live in a rural area of AZ and keep thinking the ability to cruise around the area would be pretty cool! To do this completely would, for me, mean adding a set of VR Goggles to the tablet monitor. Several lower-end tablets DO have an HDMI "out" port; Nvidia Shield, is probably the most commonly used, but I'm looking at a few others that offer that feature. Haven't made the big purchase, but with the holiday sales, still considering P4 and XSP.
I am currently looking at drones to to enhance my fishing videos. Currently there are very few fishing videos out where aerial did are in the videos. I think there's a huge market for this if given the chance. Now I am very new to flying drones. I flew my first drone 3 weeks ago which was a nano. This past week I received my Force1 F200C. I've gotten the hang of flying now, but by far I am no expert. So a drone like the Autel X-Star seems like a smart next step for me. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. Very informative video. Especially for us just starting out and weighing all the options out there.
great video. I would like to ask your advice. if I wanted a drone this side, but I'm not care anything about video or cameras . What would you recommend for a new flyer for beginners.
Ranches in New Mexico can have rugged terrain, and driving about to locate free-range livestock is time consuming, to say the least. I think that using a good drone like the X-Star would find much utility for such an application!
my drone is affordable and it do the same as phantom 4 does or inspire 1 it has a 4k hd camera on it can fly 1 mile away and 600 feet in the air when you get out of range it beeps on your remote telling you to bring it back fast and its a really good drone for under 200 dollar not only that I can press a button to land it or hold attitude
In the market for a higher end quad and I would really like and Autel. Been looking at Autel, GDU, Yuneec, and DJI. Of the 4 DJI has it now, not a promise of sometime in 2017. 20 mp camera, 1 inch cmos, stronger signal, obstacle avoidance, even active track, to name a few. I believe that at some point in time that at least 2 of the other 3 will have something as good as if not better than the P4P, just not next week. There are features in the other 3 that I would love, removable gimbal, ability to carry heavier payload, and not white. I wonder how much trouble I would get in if I painted a P4P candie apple red. 8*)
I want one of these bad boys so bad. I would capture some awesome over head shots for my channel and experiment with follow shots on the bike. Good video! 👍🏾
the orange is perfect looks amazing.. easier to see is the big point tho, white blends in with sky in most cases, there is a reason CAL-TRANS wears orange :)
you are a realy good sells man my drone fell out of the sky and was total lst but if i were going to buy another i would defently buy this one....you CONVINCE ME ...LOL
Andru,what is really the differance between new and referbised from Autel,should i go t he extra mile?? they sat they will warrenty it for 90 days. What do you think??? Thanks,Steve
DJI phantom and mavic fly much longer and further! Yes they cost a little more. Bu the advertized 4k camera, 3-axis gimbal,25 min flightime in this video are more like moderate features today. Not bad but not really special
DJ_EM 210 lol. Im waiting to see the new camera modules and a review of the updated model with 360º optical obstacle avoidance and retracting landing platform etc. This is a really cool drone!!!
I love the Autel X-Star Premium and I now have two. But here is the downside, they don't make them anymore and you can't get parts or even new batteries. Autel has completely abandoned the X Star community which has been supporting them from the start.....Autel has turned it's back on us, I have to ask myself do I want to continue to buy or invest in there products when this is there company outlook towards it's customers?
Tim Ottinger I agree that's why I bought a budget drone still do every thing that phantom 4 does hd camera and 4k for under 200 dollar I can fly up to 600 feet up and away with out losing the drone and I can press a button to land it by its on self
Wow you can send you drone way beyond the legal limit for flying it. Impressive the ability to easily exceed FAA limitations. That is one of the features that everyone keeps singing the praises of for all the different drones. Just wait till the FAA puts their foot down and they new drones only have 400 foot range.BTW how many people REALLY have the ability to edit 4K? I will bet less than 1% of your followers. Yes 4K is pretty, but if you want truly edit it and do proper post production, you need a computer that costs >5 times what the Autel X-Star premium costs.
You are wrong about 4k. Lots of people can edit 4k and there is one GREAT advantage, even if you (like I do) render to 1080: You can zoom in and crop without losing any quality - it is like having a 2 camera shot.
A stronger signal is a stronger signal. What better way to compare signal strength, at least one most people can understand, then how far the bird will fly. Whether 100' or 400' away I would want the strongest signal I could get.
FAA still hasn't given rules for flying drones from ground station ,tablet out of eye sight so flying your drone out of line of sight ,but with the new tech on these drones they will return if loss of wireless controller ,like my Bebop I can fly almost 2 miles on camera a permission from my area tower ,I have spotters with great eyes but I make sure my drone has navigation lights that allow any body to see it from five miles in the air and ground ,tower had called me to tell me they see me four miles away !
Drone Journey im trying to decide between the p3a and the xstar pre, any thoughts? i will be flying in the city and am worried about range interference, any comment on whether lightbridge is worth the risk of getting a faulty dji?
I've seen a few demo vids and reviews on this "clone", and I can't see why someone would get this instead of the DJI. Example: The Phantom 3 with the 4k camera option is only $598 with free shipping on Amazon.com. The Original Phantom 3 Pro (which comes stock with the 4k camera) is only $792.99. But taking into consideration all the new rules/guidelines that the US and Canadian governments are trying to implement for this hobby (example, limiting total flight height and line of sight distance), the Phantom 3 Standard would be the one I would get, and it's only $399 right now (almost half the price of this clone).
Wow, how refreshing, someone with a brain. If you have the computing power go for the Phantom 4K, at least you will have the better camera for not much more, just remember what you will need for a computer to edit it.
Let's see. Flying over a populated city area: against the FAA rules. Flying 1.2 miles away. Can you really see the drone at that distance. You may have to use a spotter. Probably against the FAA rules. Flying over people, definitely against the FAA rules. I would love to buy a drone, but the FAA has prohibited flying any place of interest to me. Then the Federal Parks have banned drones, and guess what, almost all the state and local parks have banned them too. It doesn't matter how much money you save when all you can do is fly them basically in out of the way fields.
Half a mile away! Lol! What happened to the 400 ft line of sight faa flight rules that are on your faa certificate that you get when you register your drone? Lol!
is there a feature that prevent a purposely scent signal interrupter,??? like from a knowingly, tour helicopter pilots, we have lost a fu drones? ( tour pilots ) are a menace, noies low flights, ex, We are under siege, pictures are proof, FAA, Flight standards, department of transportation, Honolulu, NOTHING, it seems there most of the employees are members of the same association, the pilots association, 90% of the islands are uninhabited, if you were a tourist, flight over inhabited homes or the uninhabited beautiful part of these islands, same time same money? GREED GREED , sorry I get started, and ? its the money,
Picked up this drone yesterday!! Let me say it is amazing totally worth the money
Do you still have this or the battery? My battery died after 7 yrs. Can’t find one anywhere
My wife is going to have a conversation with me when this thing shows up in the mail.
+Bad Penny 😂😂😂

Andru Edwards I'm looking at drones to increase my channel with urban city views. I live in St. Louis were I will start but travel often.
Andru Edwards i always wanted one:(( i would like to own one to practice (:(

I'm planning on buying one. in july when I get my rent rebate I think it the best for the money cant wait till july..
This drone looks soooo good, maybe even better then a phantom!!!!
Love these things, I live in the Caribbean, lots of drone worthy shots.
+Kyle Da Silva oh man that would be amazing 😱
its all about the views of the St. Johns river and the great bridges in my area!
I think this might be my first serious drone? Im liking the reviews so far.
Yes, feature packed but costs less than the others!
great video. I would like to ask your advice. if I wanted a drone this side, but I'm not care anything about video or cameras . What would you recommend for a new flyer for beginners.
Don't forget the camera gimbal is also removable, which means you can swap with better cameras in the future
I love the quick release camera! Brilliant!
I live on a sailboat and really want to get one get some awesome videos
What is the difference in the Autel Robotics X Star and the X Star Premium, besides the fact that it's about $200 cheaper?
Ranches in New Mexico can have rugged terrain, and driving about to locate free-range livestock is time consuming, to say the least. I think that using a good drone like the X-Star would find much utility for such an application!

I like your video, very honest!!! have a problem, have a XIRO V now, very, very, dissatified!!! is the X-STAR worth the money!!!!!
Thanks Steve
Do you still have this or the battery? My battery died after 7 yrs. Can’t find one anywhere
I live my xstar premium! great video
What's the purpose of rebadging the dji phantom? Why not make it different? Asides from the orange obvs.
Great vid!! They announced at ces 2 new cameras that you can swap out. Coming first and second quarter of this year
Oh and also a whole new firmware that changes everything blah blah blah but the future is looking good for Autel

That color though. :o I think the drone and the remote should be the same color.
Ohhh I typed to soon it comes in white too.
the orange is perfect looks amazing.. easier to see is the big point tho, white blends in with sky in most cases, there is a reason CAL-TRANS wears orange :)
How much can it carry?
Framing looks great!
NothingButTech88 baby you're so bonita.

+eBoarder75 just bring it inside! DELETE
Wow if I could win one it would be back county snowmobiling in the Sierra mountains of California
Giving one away next week! :)
Wow that is awesome. My hope is high as my budget is low lol
If I'm gonna spend 749.00, I would up it a little and get the DJI Mavic Pro....
I'd capture the scenery of my beautiful country Nepal....
why didnt you tell us how much it costs in the video
man.. how to use the mic?? idk..
Looks really good but couldn't even afford it anyways lmao. Maybe after college
I'm giving one of these away next week here on my channel :)
Andru Edwards hahah that's cool of you but I wouldn't hold my breath. I don't have the best luck at winning things for reals 😂.
very cool drone!))
wow. 900.00 is not affordable to most people. that is great compared to commercial drones, but few hobbyists can plunk down that kind of cash.
Tim Ottinger I agree that's why I bought a budget drone still do every thing that phantom 4 does hd camera and 4k for under 200 dollar I can fly up to 600 feet up and away with out losing the drone and I can press a button to land it by its on self
I would record the winter land of minnesota
Jan Grevenstuk I'm planning on buying this and I'm from Minnesota too and doing this!

good video...
Its just to expensive, i use a Phantom 3 advanced and get cinematic shots in that price range.
Drone Journey it is a phantom 3 from what I can tell. Looks like a rebrand or oem.
Drone Journey im trying to decide between the p3a and the xstar pre, any thoughts? i will be flying in the city and am worried about range interference, any comment on whether lightbridge is worth the risk of getting a faulty dji?
The light bridge is very helpful over wifi quads and in the city with so many obstructions I would go for a mavi or phantom 4.
I'd record all of my trickshot videos
hey I have alway loved drones I have a cheap one I wish I could afford a nice one though.
Or you could get a phantom 3 standard for cheeper
But your right for the price it's good
only issue i have is no follow me mode
Arthur Myers there is a follow mode. I have one and like it much better then my friends Phantom 4.
O OK
caps my b
Does it have active track or just follow mode.
I've seen a few demo vids and reviews on this "clone", and I can't see why someone would get this instead of the DJI.

11 DJI fanboys were here
Not even up to 3.1 miles like a P3P?

The x star premium is just a copy of the dji phantom 3 pro
wow i can make 4 bowls of eggs with this LOL
Door Air Hogs
Half a mile away! Lol! What happened to the 400 ft line of sight faa flight rules that are on your faa certificate that you get when you register your drone? Lol!
400' is the specification for max altitude only, line of sight is how far you can see. www.faa.gov/uas/
this isn't cheap

I'm all for it. Great products with U.S. support.
