Hi Marcus, a very nice review of the SG906 MAX. I live out in the country with little wifi interference and have good FPV out to ~500m using a Samsung Note 8 phone. I don't do the gimmick features, just like to fly. I found that I can cancel obstacle avoidance by doing a RTH and then canceling RTH when the drone is a few feet from the landing pad. Obstacle avoidance is off when the drone does a RTH.That lets me fly close to my house that is surrounded by trees with obstacle avoidance turned off. Of course one can eliminate obstacle avoidance by removing the obstacle avoidance device. All my video captured looks pretty good for a budget drone. My SG906 MAX is now packaged up to give to my son-in-law as he goes down his drone rabbit hole. I'm prepping him for when I eventually give him a DJI Mini 2.
This review took it over the top for me I’m new to drone flying I bout a few small drones they all fly away. I recently got the RG106 pro and it has been the best ever I did want to find a drone a little larger and able to go a little further and you have given me the information I need for that thank you.
If it was beeping constantly , you may have been in RTH mode . This would also explain why it wouldn't fly forward . Also , if you fly low with the obstacle avoidance , the drone points downward when going forward , which may stop the drone .
Hey Marcus, a couple of things. First off, thanks for sharing your time with us. Always fun to see what you're up to. Next, I would be loosing that SD card every time I worked with that drone. As it is, I keep starting the Battery on my MA2, just unfolding the arms and getting it set up. Also, that screen is very busy, lots of stuff going on there. Maybe they could simplify all the info in some way? And, the video helps you appreciate the good stabilization, white balance and overall quality of the more expensive options out there. Then again, they do have that cute little obstacle avoidance "gimmick"❗❕❗ Lastly, take that puppy out to the dam and see what king of range you can get. Take care, stay safe.
Thank you Doug. All good points! The SG906 is really more of a toy, than a serious drone. The obstacle avoidance device is a pretty cool gadget, even if not really that useful. 😎
An FYI about the WiFi antenna(s). Being an old Motorola RF guy, the "antenna" with no wire *could be* acting as a "passive repeater element". Inside the hollow housing would be an RF conductive element tuned to resonate at WiFi frequencies. It acts to increase the WiFi near the active antenna. Same principle used in the old TV antennas and yagi style antennas. Only one active element (the one with the coax or twin lead connected) but many passive elements in front of and behind the active element. A simple test would be to try the drone with the "no wire" antenna not extended and then extended to see if there is an improvement. BTW I am waiting on my SG906 Max to arrive from Banggood. After watching your review I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.
Idaho Quadcopter that was a Great Video on the ZLL SG906 MAX Beast 3 Smart Drone ! You sure have a Nice place To Fly also ! The Drone did Ok & You are really Great on your Videos ! Thanks for the Nice Video !
Love the name - The Beast! Great review and can't wait to see if it works!!! Video footage seems okay and love seeing the sensor turn while in the air. Great fun drone, many thanks for sharing the info :)
Hello , nice video, thank u!! Do we have to calibrate the drone everytime that we open it? i am talking about the movements we do , like lift it up 1 meter fron the ground ,turn it clockwise ....?
Some nice incremental improvements over the Pro 2. My "I can't believe I'm doing this" moment with the Pro 2 was the day I found myself pounding the control sticks into the controller with a hammer, after one too many times having one pop out while I was flying. Looks like the gimbal has improved, and so has the transmission/reception.
The laser obstacle avoidance sensor spinning is very cool, in a retro style way. I'm actually surprised that it worked as well as it did. The video quality and FPV range were acceptable for a drone at this price range. Great review, you battled throw a couple of issues out in field, but were still able to put it through it paces.
There are a couple of possible contributing factors to the FPV issue. One is interference, another is the FPV is entirely received by the phone. The phone (or screen) performance is therefore critical to the performance of the Drone as a system. The phone performance maybe affected by technology age, calendar age, processor load in the phone (apps in the background) and phone tower communications normally occurring (because its a mobile phone). A last affect may be the presence of other transmitters, out of band, that are producing transmitted noise near your park and affecting the performance of the phone. The button press on the screen for change of speed may have been affected by the gloves you wore (at least in the final shots). Gloves don't work well with phone screens.
Hi Marquis. I noticed with mine sg906 Max eis is not working like it should, it seems to be just the 3 axis gimbal. I didn’t notice any electronic image stabilization, it was still a bit shaky. Well keep up the great reviews my friend and have a great weekend.
Use stylus to operate the screen. The screen shows a slider for the camera as well...and the change camera button is the third last from the top menu. and the drone will get to 20ft in front of a wall before it stops. Its all in Capt Drones videos.
Just an idea,,,when the drone did not detect trees next to shelter house. Did you actually have the drone in GPS mode. Obstacle avoidance only works when flying in GPS mode. Did not see GPS indicator on the app? Just trying to help.. Nice review,,,and Thank You. Always wonder what actual flight time is on each drone.
Realizing the price point for this drone, the OA implementation seems odd to me. For me there are 2 cases for OA. Keeping me out of trouble when flying in harm’s like navigating around trees to inspect my house gutter system. But the other one is when I’m in harms way already and the batteries get low, triggering RTH. If the drone turns off obstacle avoidance when it triggers this, then it’ll just fly into a tree (or other obstacle). I’ve had this happen to me on my Contixo F22 drone. It doesn’t seem like it would take much to keep the mode on during RTH, have it tell you it’s stuck, let you do some maneuvering or turn OA off, then hit RTH.
I do like it Chris. I don't like it as much as my real motorcycles, but I do like it. I chased it one time with the Skydio 2. ruclips.net/video/2Ox2Rwh49nw/видео.html
Hi Marcus, What was the wind gusts when you flew it? What's a reasonable wind resistance limit for the ZLL SG906 Max? I just picked it up and haven't flown it. I don't expect it to be as stable as my MA2 but I would like to know if it can handle 10 mph gusts without too much risk or too much instability. Thanks for your very informative videos. HFTA!
Thank you! I don't remember how windy it was that day, however I can tell you, this is a drone that is best flown in little or no wind. It is not terribly powerful. 👍
hello when I start the drone the obstacle detection is on, but it doesn't stop even if I go higher where there are no more obstacles, is that normal or is it a defect? Greetings Thomas
@@petercastle2822 Thank you. i start in a narrow area, it beeps, then climb to 20m height, but then still cannot fly forward, still beep. can you see the leaser?
What is the maximum height and distance of this sg906 max pro? Also how many mode this drone has? And everytime i charge the remote control, i don't see any light that is charging why? Also where is the setting for height max of the drone software?
Hello. I am writing to you from Ukraine, so I apologize for my English - this is a machine translation. Before you, none of the Russian-speaking reviewers did a review of this SG906 MAX Beast 3 model. Thanks for your work. I ask you to summarize: which model should you choose? SG906 MAX Beast 3 or SG906 MAX Pro 2. This will be my birthday present for my son. This is our first quadcopter. And we are in the throes of choice. Thanks in advance for your reply.
I would say the SG906 Beast 3. It has a superior controller and range. I would not even install the obstacle avoidance sensor. Just fly without it. Thank you!
Obstacle avoidance sensor is for nothing imho - only next power consumption added. But you have chance with MAX version, that there will be some improvement in firmware, because - "once you get it, it stays" - does not exist any support for this drones (and all ZLRC drones). Nobody saw any firmware upgrade for previous models.
IT has a little farther FPV range and I watched a review where he put a TX cam and the drone has a GEO FENCE under 1000 meters. But I guess it would be a good beginner drone.
Marcus , you mentioned before the end of the video that when you're flying fpv , you don't know where the drone 's at .

Hey my friend, I have a dji mini 2 and I use both Apple and Samsung phones. With the Apple iPhone I had turned the phone charging on while connected to the controller, but when I use the Samsung galaxy s21 Ultra 5G that button is not in the dji fly app. You may be aware of it that Android user app is only available on dji website and the ios user app is on your play store. So I don't know why I don't have that option in the Android version of the app. Can you please make a video on this issue. Thanks
I might be wrong but in the very beginning when I first received my Mavic Air 2 it had the option in Android. Then it was gone. I could be wrong. Not sure why that option isn't there.
I Can't find ANY batteries for this drone ANYWHERE in the USA. There are tons in China but it takes 6-8 weeks to get them. Anyone know where to buy Batteries for the SG906 Max inside the USA??
I'm pretty sure the only place to get them is China. I always recommend buying extra batteries at the time you buy these kind of drones for that very reason. 👍
Took my beast3 first time first could not arm finally it took But than could not get it to fly out Probably my newbie skils.lol Likely we took along my mavic2 To safe the day. My son said the beast is stick shift an mavic is automatic. Lol.
My first drone (Pro2, without laser, all other is same as MAX , "toy" HFun UAV app common for all ZLL models worse with each new version. The video quality fully corresponds to the price.

I'd rather not write more ...
@@IdahoQuadcopter Today, after 3 month using, is horizontal stabilization destroyed. I never crashed with it. As I saw on video, it happened in flight. Never more...
I need suggestion . Can anyone suggest me which one should i buy for vlogging , daytime and nightime videography and which one has max distance . Sg906 max or sjrc f11 4k pro . Please help me .
I have taken delivery of my SG906 MAX and have discovered that it will not record to the SD card only to the app. If I use the remote control to record photos or video it still goes to the app, not the SD card. Been in lengthy email exchange with the supplier who cannot offer a solution even though the say they have asked the "factory". Anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions would been welcome.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thanks for the reply, I can confirm that the card is ok and works for other applications. I am pretty sure the problem is with the drone.
I've had a new one for about 2 months and my fpv rocks even out at about 600 m it's just fine I haven't gone past that but I've never had it even glitch on me so I'm not sure what's going on with yours. I've flown it for about 3 hours now and never even had a glitch so that's kind of weird plus the lag on mine is very short
Interesting little drone but definitely not ready for prime time.. the biggest issue for me is the video is so twitchy that it wouldn’t be very usable.
That FPV more or less forces you to keep in line of sight. I liked my beast 2 pro it actually took better pictures than my Hubsan and Fimi but the video was just meh. Plus I had to have a better one so that guy had to go.
I am going to just give up on these crappy chinese drones. I just bought the beast3 and the app you say to download doesnt work. When i hit calibrate, it just says "please connect device" even though its connceted. The only app which does seem to calibrate is XiL Pro and i cant get any GPS signal....or at least i dont think. I am not sure what the number on the remote control means.
@@IdahoQuadcopter goon morning 🌅,can i ask , can you gift me a drone hehe i dont have any drone because i can't afford it its ok if not god bless you :)
A beginner drone. For beginners. The dji cult need not comment. We know it isn't a dji. If we wanted to spend $500 on something a beginner may or may not like, we would. For a beginner (me) I am anxiously awaiting my $165 US $ drone to play with. I will get the dji tattoo later.
I’ve had this drone for 2 years now, fly without obstacle avoidance, and have many more obstacles in my area, I have no issues with the drone

These cheaper drones can be problematic. If you want a trouble free experience, you may want to look at Autel or DJI.
If it was beeping constantly , you may have been in RTH mode . This would also explain why it wouldn't fly forward . Also , if you fly low with the obstacle avoidance , the drone points downward when going forward , which may stop the drone .

Objectively, if this is 1/2 the price of the HZMP.. is the 1080p video it produces that much worse/better than the HZMP at the same?
Yeah, GM, rather than either of those two, I'd go for the DJI Mini SE. 😁

This one is easy. The SJRC F11 Pro is better all around, camera quality, flight controls, and ease of operation. The F11 Pro is the one you want.

Nothing wrong with the sensor you have to fully read the instructions....(PDF on Googs).

iPhone 11 - ZLL RC app
Spec on this claims 4KM FPV range, you only got a few hundred yards so that spec seems very questionable.

@@chill62751 I think Android phones are not %100 compatible to dji fly app, because I heard lots of Android users having issues with the dji fly app.
@@peshawariam I've had no issues with the app. Updates are sometimes slower from the playstore. You can go straight to dji to solve that.
I wonder if you're old remote works on this model have you tried it mate
Hmmmmnnn, haven't tried it.
NO
I Can't find ANY batteries for this drone ANYWHERE in the USA. There are
tons in China but it takes 6-8 weeks to get them. Anyone know where to
buy Batteries for the SG906 Max inside the USA??
I'm pretty sure the only place to get them is China. I always recommend buying extra batteries at the time you buy these kind of drones for that very reason. 👍
how i can update the firmwire of the beast? i try but i cant please help me
To my knowledge ZLRC does not provide firmware updates. At least I've never seen them. 👍
Would you do a snake river run. Or not trust worthy.
Thanks
I'd fly it at the Snake River Canyon, but the camera on the SG906 would not do it justice.
Took my beast 3. Was no
Took my beast3 first time first could not arm finally it took
But than could not get it to fly out
Probably my newbie skils.lol
Likely we took along my mavic2
To safe the day.
My son said the beast is stick shift an mavic is automatic. Lol.
Has anyone tried to mount a GoPro 360 camera on the cover where the OAC laser module goes?
I don't know, but it's a great idea!
Cool video, how long is the flight time?
Thank you! About 15 minutes.
Amazing
Thank you.
Nice
My first drone (Pro2, without laser, all other is same as MAX , "toy" HFun UAV app common for all ZLL models worse with each new version. The video quality fully corresponds to the price. The laser is not the thing this drone needed. Real manufacturer is Shantou Chuangqi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. - Drone using 'IntelliChip A7' (original name Allwiner Vs3). I'd rather not write more ...
Thank you. Yes the obstacle avoidance is more of a gimmick really.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Today, after 3 month using, is horizontal stabilization destroyed. I never crashed with it. As I saw on video, it happened in flight. Never more...
I can't get mine to connect or something on the app. What do I do?
It could be a phone compatibility problem. Try another phone, or tablet. 🤷♂️
@@IdahoQuadcopter actually gotta it connected today and flew it. Camera is great I like it so far ty for the reply
I need suggestion . Can anyone suggest me which one should i buy for vlogging , daytime and nightime videography and which one has max distance . Sg906 max or sjrc f11 4k pro . Please help me .
Of those two, I prefer the F11. However the DJI Mini SE is better than either of them.
I have taken delivery of my SG906 MAX and have discovered that it will not record to the SD card only to the app. If I use the remote control to record photos or video it still goes to the app, not the SD card. Been in lengthy email exchange with the supplier who cannot offer a solution even though the say they have asked the "factory". Anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions would been welcome.
I have not experienced that issue. Make sure you have a correctly formatted SD card. Use a 32GB or even a 16GB SD card formatted to Fat32.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Thanks for the reply, I can confirm that the card is ok and works for other applications. I am pretty sure the problem is with the drone.
I've had a new one for about 2 months and my fpv rocks even out at about 600 m it's just fine I haven't gone past that but I've never had it even glitch on me so I'm not sure what's going on with yours. I've flown it for about 3 hours now and never even had a glitch so that's kind of weird plus the lag on mine is very short
I think there is a fair amount of wifi interference in that park that I flew at. I'm glad yours is working well.
please update which app to use on google play store ?
I'm on IOS, I don't remember what the app was.
@@IdahoQuadcopter can you please check your iphone and update us, its the same name in both i guess. did you sell your drone and uninstall it ?
@@manuoz3545 Yes I sold that drone and no longer have the app. I'm sorry.
How can I connect it to my Android phone
Via WiFi.
please where can i get at the moment?
Try Banggood, or TomTop.
Interesting little drone but definitely not ready for prime time.. the biggest issue for me is the video is so twitchy that it wouldn’t be very usable.
What! You mean this drone will not replace your Mavic Air 2? C'mon, come to the party Lauren! 😁
Where did you buy this?
TomTop. www.tomtop.com/p-rm13367-1-1.html?aid=idahoquadcopter&cr=SG906Max
are there any range extenders for this drone ?
None that I am aware of.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Try a Yagi...get abt 100m more
That FPV more or less forces you to keep in line of sight. I liked my beast 2 pro it actually took better pictures than my Hubsan and Fimi but the video was just meh. Plus I had to have a better one so that guy had to go.
I agree, the Beast drones take much better pictures than they do video. 👍
What was the flight time
About 15 minutes.
So would you say its better then sg906 pro2
@@Poseidonvids8 The remote is better on the Pro 2, so it's worth it. 👍
i testet this model and got to 2666 metere distance h 120
I still consider these to be toys
Is that a bad thing?
@@geezerpleasers_OG Not at all, just my opinion
I agree Bryan. It takes a drone like the original Hubsan Zino to cross into hobby category.
@@IdahoQuadcopter I agree, the Zino was a game changer in the hobby grade market and has yet to really be matched
They all are...what do you consider a serious drone??? something like the Mavic ? They are all toys for big boys.
I am going to just give up on these crappy chinese drones. I just bought the beast3 and the app you say to download doesnt work. When i hit calibrate, it just says "please connect device" even though its connceted. The only app which does seem to calibrate is XiL Pro and i cant get any GPS signal....or at least i dont think. I am not sure what the number on the remote control means.
Yes, these drones can be frustrating. It also depends on the phone you are using.
@@IdahoQuadcopter Samsung Galaxy S20 5G
Where you able to solve ur problem I have same
The drone network is 5G may have problem connecting to 4G phone s
2048 X 1080 is realy 2K
Okay.
@@IdahoQuadcopter I have also a SG906 Pro 1 and I reach 1300 m with a bad FPV after 1000m , I will test with a FPV antenna mod
Hello 👋
Good morning!
@@IdahoQuadcopter goon morning 🌅,can i ask , can you gift me a drone hehe i dont have any drone because i can't afford it its ok if not god bless you :)
👍👍👍❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank you.
A beginner drone. For beginners. The dji cult need not comment. We know it isn't a dji. If we wanted to spend $500 on something a beginner may or may not like, we would. For a beginner (me) I am anxiously awaiting my $165 US $ drone to play with. I will get the dji tattoo later.
I hope you enjoy your new drone. 👍
I wish i have a drone :
I hope you buy one soon.
I hope haha
You are heavy on the controls..relax..small increments
Thank you. 👍
First
Indeed. 👍
