I “had” this drone. Loved it at 1st but when I decided to get shifty and learn how to make banked turns by a lake, the slightest breeze took my drone away and i never saw it again. It drowned
These cheap WiFi controled drones are pretty fun. Some of them have IPEX sockets on the control PCB so you can put a bigger WiFi antennas for greater range. You can also pair them with USB stick type WiFi repeaters for stronger signal. With this Combo you can achive ranges up to 1km in open field when controllig the drone via app.
Hey Andy, great video! Always enjoy watching your stuff. I've been heavy into fpv for the last year, I've got 20 drones, including five 5in freestyle quads that I've built. Best thing I've ever done. Just wanted to let you know, you can fly LOS in the Lift-Off simulator. Take care. ✌️
honestly, I would go for a DJI Mini 2 or something similar. The videostream-quality was not even on longrange as bad as this 2m away.... and the stable-mode + gimble nails it into position.
I'm looking for my first drone and know nothing about them. I Will be flying over water getting boat shots and video. Soooo am I better getting something cheaper incase I lose it or spending more as it will help me not lose it with the extra features if you know what I mean. Haha I will do alot of flying over land to practice before flying at sea. Cheers Andy love the back ground music 👌👍
TBH I would spend a bit more and get something like a DJI with the return to home feature at least. The probability of losing a drone over water is pretty high, I've had a few sphincter tightening moments myself :)
Yes agree, if you need to get decent quality shots then get a camera drone like a DJI Mini 2 at the least, it'll be about 4 times as expensive as this but it will not fly away and it will hold its position as well as having a very good camera. Price goes up exponentially after that for better image quality and stability.
Those drones was my first drones I thought it was going to be like DJI but it wasn't but I've practiced so much with those brushed motors drones that I've bought my self the mini 1 and 2 now I can go up to mile or 2.
It just holds its altitude, so when you release the sticks it stays the same height...ish! You can fly under 250g drones in public spaces just not over or near people.
I got the bugs 16 pro £206 2 batteries gps home button and crashed it lol but easy fix with a glue gun 😳👍🏻🤣🤣🤣 Banggood Chinese stuff ok from time to time there like a lucky dip good vid mate 😉👍🏻🛸💨💨💨
Nice drone, but no GPS. For more than USD $100, it's not cheap drone. Cheap drone for me is something like $10 E88/E99 drones from chinese websites. Anything over $50, I would want GPS on it so it can return home if signal from controller is lost.

The best and complete drone review I've ever seen!
This seems much the same as the shadow x I bought last year for the same price. Still not used it outside anywhere

Now that is interesting!
Any help on the latency of the camera? Any way that I can reduce it and make it possible to fly from looking just at my phone? Thanks
Great review not a bad practice drone for the price and flight time is pretty decent as well.
My apartment would look just like yours if I had money. I love the toys too!

He's talking about a 100 dollar drone and your talking 500, you can't compare apples to oranges.
@@sounddesignsforyou998 Still saying: I wouldn't bother with the 100$ drone at all. If the videostream is not stable it is not usable.
@@phischtv4497 Then why even watch the video. You know some people just want to play and not be idiots and spend thousands on drones.
@@phischtv4497 nobody just starting out needs to spend 500 on a drone... Thats just insanity. You spend 100 what do you expect?
You've flown that longer than most owners of this type of toy drone will own one. Nice flying considering there's no GPS
my thought... most owners will crash it because they rely fully on the videostream. The latency looked also kinda high, too.

You will loose the cheap ones if to close to water
@@andykirby thanks for the info and advice. I will look up the DJI mini 2. Thanks again!
sg 906 pro just over 100 pounds ,cant go wrong for the money.
Welcome back guys ! So this is a 100 pound drone .
Americans: wow that's heavy
How much does it take to fully charge?
Andy Kirby's drone is a Kir-bee. I'm full of good ideas today....!
maybe try the high power mode to combat the wind
Battery plus flight time is a big issue with the cheap ones and if wanna take video you can half the flight time
Fun flying it? Thanks for the review.
I still don't understand why the controls are so hard for me... i think theres a factory defect with mine
Good cheap drone for q 1st time flyer.. left a thumbs up 👍
Those drones was my first drones I thought it was going to be like DJI but it wasn't but I've practiced so much with those brushed motors drones that I've bought my self the mini 1 and 2 now I can go up to mile or 2.
It's the same as my Ryze Tello and at a similar price too
I’ve got the same drone but I’m really struggling to fly it and keep it under control.
What might I be doing wrong?
Make sure you don't fly in any sort of wind (at all, not even a breeze) if you are new to flying these things.
@@andykirby even with no winds, its still confusing with the controls. It keeps going away from me.
What’s the range ?
Probably a couple of hundred meters. I wasn't gonna test it because that field was really muddy!
Last time I flew a drone in my house it ended in complete disaster
AMAZON says auto hover is that right.?
Also whats the laws now on these flying these drones. I thought they'd been banned in public areas.
It just holds its altitude, so when you release the sticks it stays the same height...ish! You can fly under 250g drones in public spaces just not over or near people.
@@andykirby Thank You, 73
@@andykirby you're wrong. You can fly a sub 250g drone over people but no closer than 50m.
@@paulb8186 thanks, there's so many rules and exceptions now!
£70 on amazon now deffo worth a buy.
I am getting this drone
i got one just the same as this back in 2019 only cost £30 from wish.
That's a good deal!
Why is this better than the DJI Tello for the same money?
It's not, but similar

I NEED YOUR ENGWE ENGINE PRO! MY BABY IS COMING OUT!
Kind of incredible for under 100 quid
Yeah it is actually!
@@andykirby always wanted one for finding carp over a big res distance could be it's weak point for this application
Excellent. There is a youtubes channel that has similar, but a bit smaller, and aboot $120,000.00 US more expensive.
One for the kids I think 👍

The light should be green on the back of the drone before flying..gps probably not locked..

Hi Andy, I'm guy and I'm pregnant I need to get to the maternity ward soon as. Can I borrow your Engwe Engine Pro please.
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman!
