F7 drone
You know that drone is overpriced trash.
@@jjmcwill1881 I have bought one, pretty good so far.
@@jjmcwill1881In your opinion, what are the. Ons on this drone? Camera is not that great 15 frames per second is not great. Any other comments?
Sad I bought this. I hate the weird setup and battery warnings
We bought this for my 10 year old son and he loves it. First drone so still usuinv all the beginner stuff but it hasn’t crashed and he’s having fun. Thank you for suggesting
Glad you are having fun!
I have this drone and I really like it. It flys extremely easy and is stable. I’ve had this thing up to 385’ and didn’t loose any signal or video.
Awesome, thanks for letting us know! I have really good luck with it as well, does a good job for sure! Good Flying! 🤙
Hey I have a question. If I have the camera zoomed in and take a pic or video will the image on my saved pic or video come out zoomed or no?
@@chrism1940 another reviewer said yes...but he was also screen recording and also missed a couple of app prompts in his video so...🤷🏻♂️
@@BendApparatus Thanks. I found out it doesn't come out zoomed in saved pics or vids. To bad I would have seriously considered getting it if they did come out zoomed. But I'm very happy with my Ruko f11 drone
@@chrism1940 how the distance. Oh and audio. Does it record audio?
You are right. The video is choppy. For me, any drone with a price tag over $400 should have some obstacle avoidance.
I just got mine for $350
I just bought it for $215
I see them Amazon 285
Im going to buy this, hopefully i can use this on my trip to New York in time Square
Wish I would have seen this video before buying and save but over all great drone worth every cent plus more.
I had my drone for four days. everything was fully charged. It was no more than 60 feet in front of me and 30 feet up in the air and all the sudden it lost power and came crashing to the ground. The landing tripod broken in three pieces.😢
I sent the flight log to bwine support, still haven’t heard back from them
back to Amazon, it went
Yup, I mostly buy Amazon for the return policy alone. When buying a product at a minimum it needs to work.
u get it used mine never had that issue to me sounds like some one did not follow when preparing for first flight like using the correct charger charging fully before flying smh
The camera has a lot of studder and looks choppy. I particularly noticed it the second you videoed yourself talking with the drone. Other than that, it would probably be best filming in 1080p than the 4K-15.
Though it was a bit off, too but better than some....
That video would drive me crazy.
Hi, thanks for the vid. My new Bwine arrived today. I ordered off Amazon A few days ago and it was $449, but had a $75 buck coupon. My point I guess is if you want one is watch them as they often put them on sale. Umm, Ine other trick I've learned if you shop on Amazon a lot, you know where it says the "price" well below that it sometimes says "Available at other prices" well I picked up a full DJI Mavic Mini original price was $ 430 it said slight " blem" I can't find it, plus damaged box. Umm little point crushed. So. I got full package for 130. Sorry I know that was long but hopefully someone will find deals like that. Umm one more...
Excellent review my friend. I think at this price point this drone is a good value. I've paid more for less in the past Lol.
At less than a third of the price of my last DJI, I'll call this one a win :)
Love the channel & new sub here!
Thank you for the kind words and the sub! 🤙 These range of drones are getting better and better for sure... Good Flying!
I have this drone, but it’s recently purchased. It claims to have 50 minute batteries x3. I have the “training wheels” set right now until I get accustomed to the controls and it’s nearly foolproof. There’s a “Stop” button on the controller that I’m going to cover to prevent accidental engagement. Supposed to be used in emergencies only. Pressing it will lead to a crash.
Some drones with 15 fps you can drop the resolution down to 2.7K or 1080P like the C Fly Mini and get something closer to 30 f/s. 15 f/s looks just to choppy for me. If there's an option on this drone to get a higher frame rate at 2.7K, id do that or try even 1080P if you have to drop it to that.
Just something that might be useful to include in reviews to compare if your best 4K option has a poor frame rate but if you can get a better frame rate dropping down to 2.7K or so. You reviewed another drone that was only 2.7K but the frame rate was 30fps and it's was practically just as nice as 4K30.
15 fps is a deal breaker. No bottom senser is no good
I think you over reacted, the snap back is the drone doing its job keeping oriented in it's position, it's not a DJI. Or a movie maker , I like this drone , has all the goods that most drone don't at that price you can find this drone new for 209.00 if anyone interested.
Hello! This is a decent flier for sure. Not sure how the position snapping back can be an intentional feature rather than a bug. I can see how easily it would happen as it probably has some drift compensation built in to keep the position from drifting and it should be disabled/reset upon a stick input. Probably fixed in 2 minutes by a programmer, that's why I bring it up. Only thing I think they could change which would make a big difference in video is to increase the frame rate on the video as 15 fps is noticeable even with modest movements. Thinking about it, since it is such a good flier and the camera is already a removable module, having an additional improved camera "kit" available that could be purchased if desired and swapped out would be a dandy option. Good Flying!
Ty for the video.
Mine won’t go over 100ft distance. Even out of beginner mode
I'm seeing a bit of jello from the 15 frames the human eye sees about 10 to 13 FPSecond to start seeing motion
Great video.
QQ: Would you consider your findings firmware related? Meaning would it be a matter of an update to remove the bugs.
Thanks! My thought is that it the issues are hardware limitations.
Good morning always great stuff nice video cool review nice drone
Thanks 👍
You can change settings and an as card to side with the video.
Nice little drone, but the drone video was indeed subpar. Of course your video was excellent like always. And informative!
Thanks! 👍
I just got this drone but can’t fly more than 30 meters? Is there a setting I can change?
Read the manual and figure out how to take it out of beginner mode
I took mine out of beginner mode and still won’t go further than 100ft.
@@Brandon-j7v these thing suck, they batteries are junk. Get 20 minutes of flying per battery. After liftoff the battery is down to 60% Chinese crap. Mine does go pretty far though.
Can the camera be swapped out with a gopro? This is my first drone. Even with the drawbacks in the great review it’s still a good deal
I would think you could remove the camera (it just snaps off) an you'd have to find a way to attach it, but I would think it would work fine hanging between the landing gear...
what is the weight of drone with battery
I was out at 15 fps. Thanks for the warning
That's funky for sure... 🤙
@AlienDrones - I’m new to Drones. Got a really good deal and thought I would use this as my entry level drone.
However trying to register it on FAA site and it asks for Remote ID. Where do you find that on the drone, box or in the app? I have tried all sorts of combinations that I have found and it keeps saying invalid number.
I'm not familiar with this specific drone, but usually you can find it in the app. It's usually listed on the box or the drone itself as well. I think with that drone it should start with 1875BF7Gxxxxx.... or similar. They did have models without remote ID for a while, make sure this is one of the models that includes it...
@@AlienDrones I found it. It actually had a QSR code on the drone that scanned to the ID. Thanks for the answer.
What would you recommend one step up?
it says literally not to fly under 50 degrees your flying after it snowed that will cause small issues ...fly on a normal day..mine fly fine even in these condition what dj mini got you doing this too..
below 50 is a normal day here.
what is the best one out there for running time and distance
My favorite for camera quality, great flier, battery life and great distance is the DJI Air 3. amzn.to/4dBHmrE
I just got this drone yesterday and I haven’t messed with around too much, and I switched the app back to 2.7 K 25 frames per second and we’ll see how that does. But I didn’t have a Micro SD in the camera. I’d assume the video would be better quality with the SD as opposed to the app just.
Indeed, the SD card will be better resolution than the app... 🤙
@@AlienDronesit is, it usually downloads to my phone, but I took out the SD and put it in my computer, the resolution was much better.
You’re the only drone guy I am following. Should I buy a little bit better one than this? Don’t like the 15k
To some extent you get what you pay for so really it depends what you want/need out of the drone. There are a lot better models out there but they will get incrementally more expensive but have more capabilities, stability, range and battery life...
The 4k works better if you are saving it to the sd card .lot better results
That is correct. All of the drone footage shown in this video was indeed off the SD card.
Just bought one, and it's $530 from Amazon. I'd be a lot happier if it was $350. I thought for the price that the video would be better (as poined out in this video). I haven't powered it up yet. The promo video says 25 minutes per battery Times three batteries is 75 minutes. Details say 720P when saved on the phone, 4K when saved to the SD card. The microSD card does not come with the drone. At this time, it's $17.18 from Amazon 128 GB and it's installed on the under side of the camera. My wife told me that some drone require reistration with the FAA (?) as there are restricted areas. I haven't crossed this bridge yet.
Thanks for taking the time to share! You're wife is very smart (and probably always right!), you will need more than simple registration now as well. You'll need to take the TRUST test, follow a set of CBO rules and this drone will need to be equipped with remote ID since this one is heavier than 250g. This is a recent Remote ID video, ruclips.net/video/bEE8m4FGg20/видео.html and there are a LOT of rules videos on the channel as well, This one gives an overview if you're not familiar with FAA rules for drones, ruclips.net/video/GtheabrjD5g/видео.htmlsi=OAUVBSEGEKpJEcfC but feel free to ask questions, happy to fill in the blanks so you can be compliant with the rules and still have fun! Here are the recreational drone rules in 60 seconds: ruclips.net/video/u565b6Guk4Y/видео.htmlsi=a2iCdtaW3QywM6Za
I did find the drone for $360, with two batteries instead of three, and the mircoSD for $13.
Thank you, as always, it's a process. :)@@AlienDrones
@@jvargas454I just bought it for $215.
Better off with a used DJI for that price. Great review. THANKS
Same this drone is like not super good you can get the dji mini se less than this it has a batter camera and it can go really farther
@@youssefelhajjamisirensilli1380 i have a DJI Mini and it has issues, it tends to disconnect while in use. Did some research and realized other had the same issue and no support is available to address the issue. I'm frustrated, therefore I'm looking for a new drone
How do u take beginners mode off
Nice footage have a good week
Have a nice day
While zoomed in if I take a pic or video will the image turn out zoomed on my saved pic or video?
I tried this in the video when I did the flight test here: ruclips.net/video/XY5nLFBlIJw/видео.html
@@AlienDrones hmm. Someone that did another review on this drone told me that it will save the zoomed in pic or video. How do I know which one of you is correct
@@chrism1940 If you watch the video section I forwarded you can watch it for yourself... Maybe there's a different model or something but I think the video is pretty clear for the flights I took.
Do you know where the micro SD slot is located on the Bwine F7GB2?
I believe it is on the back of the camera itself...
Is there an option for 1080p 60fps?
That would be a good idea but I don't see any options for that...
I just got this drone couple
Days ago. I believe 2.7K has 25FPS. I have yet to try that. And I haven’t filmed at night yet.
Yeah the user manual says that cold weather will diminish battery life.
Still seems better to go with the dji mini 2 se. This seems like a case of the stats not quite matching uo with the results.
Think this may have been okay in its time but there are some better options now. A lot of people seem to really like this one, but you gotta fly what you like!
DJI Mini 2 is far more worth the extra cash. I got one refurbished off ebay for 550$ with triple charger and 5 batteries.
Can you switch out the camera that it comes with?
It is made with a quick disconnect to swap with a replacement camera. I don't think there is a different camera available to swap it with but if you broke one, replacement with an exact replacement would be easy though...
Hi, how high did the drone get when you press “Return to Home”.
Ypu can change that yourself in the settings.
I like it
👍
Sorry, forgot my original question. Is anyone using a tablet to fly?. That's what I had in mind. Thanks Steve
I just bought it.
Is it possible to upgrade the camera
It seems like since the camera just snaps off that you could just snap in a better/replacement one, but I haven't found any replacements to just snap in... Opportunity missed for Bwine IMO.
just snagged this drone on Amazon for 219
It's a good flyer for $219!
This looks like a pretty decent Drone. It's not like a Phantom. FAR FROM IT! But It looks pretty decent. Would I recommend it for professional work, or anything major? NO! You're gonna need a higher quality drone. But for small jobs, this looks like something You might use.
Thanks For your video but his best is that you small your videos I mean your screen and give a full screen to the drone so we can see the whole graphics. Trust me is betger
Does this have night vision on the camera?
It does have a "night mode" as shown in the vid...
does the camera have thermal imaging?
no
How do you turn the speed up
It's mentioned in the video.
ive seen this drone first hand the stills are great and its good for photogrametry but video not great I'm honestly considering it just because of the stability and stills
It's a good flyer and decent pics, but the video frame rate is a little bit slow for my liking...
Can the camera be switched out with say a GoPro?
The camera mount is "quick change" designed, but I think that's where it ends. They might have thought about making it changeable with a different camera, maybe even their own, but nothing will fit except the original camera. It is just too specialized. So the simple answer would be "no" I guess... 😎
@@AlienDronesyou could 3D print an adapter.
@@kewlztertc5386 Unless you want to mount a GoPro though the mount isn't the only issue, you still have to have electrical and programmatic compatibility to have it save video, transmit FPV and move the camera up and down. It looks like a fairly unique pinout on the odd connector so it probably won't be compatible with anything off the shelf.
Does this really fly 1.9 miles away without losing signal?
Never. Most of the time the distance specs put out there by the manufacturers use a lot of magic that are based on theoretical witchcraft not practical use in the real world. 🤙
I got mine MAYBE 350 feet from me before it was out of range
Ok, back yet again. Now hoes this for customer service. I get an email from Bwine 3 days ago saying
Since a "Valued Customer" How would you like a "New FREE Bwine Gb 7" ? Huh? Well I said surley you jest. Well box arrived today and I am astonished.
I alwayes loved my original till the darn tree jumped out so in the AM, Skies away for my new Bird. PS I just purchased the New "Drone Mask 2" VR googles. Have you seen or reviewed them? Thay seem Awesome. I haven't flown with them , but I used them to watch some of my flights that are recorded. Can't wait. Double PSS Bwine huge sale right now.
Looks like fortune is on your side.
This is a great drone and has basically satisfied my desire for a GPS drone.
I don't particularly care about cameras, so it's best footage being 1080p at 25fps it's good enough for me.
Oddly enough I love sensors...the more the better...so a part of me will always yearn for a GPS drone with optical flow, ultrasonic sensors and infrared obstacle detection...
Luckily for me my version of the F7 has infrared obstacle detection in the front...turns out... it's annoying as heck...😅
Oh! And I'm in FL too! South fl though so there's nothing pretty to see here without an FAA registration...😶🌫️
Does it record audio?
First air2 s army out
😎
So I'm back like 3 months later, and "Drum roll please" I've been through probably 5-6 other drones (My latest I wanted to check out the Red Exo Drone FX Ranger with Obstacle avoidence for some reason, Well 2nd flight today, she goes sideways and I probably should have stiches in my chest) so back to My Good Ole Bwine F7. Yea gave the Minnie a shot unfortunutly the umm Tree jumbed out and turned the cam at a 90, still did not like it. Now Let me ask any of you have you dealt with either Betty . Choolan., or oh poop I forgot the last ladys name? Their customer service id the BEST IN THE INDUSTRY. I'm not kidding. If you have a problem, call Be Nice or I'll Punch ya in the nose. LOL No kidding but really they are so nice. Art. PS, I'm in Fla and it's just starting to break (The weather") so say around 6-7 u can venture out and get a bird up.
Bought one and controller wouldn't pair to drone, had to send it back. Bewine will have you whining lol
I’m sure you get this alot but You had me at intro 😂
Indeed, it does catch many by surprise. 😎
You never want to power the drone on before the remote👀
I'm just a rebel that way... 😎

15FPS? Yuck!
Hello, I just received this drone as well to review… Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been cooperative the last few days so I haven't taken it out for the maiden flight yet. My question is why me? I don't have as many subscribers and it doesn't seem like this drone is all that great… I fly FPV freestyle I've built hundreds of drones and again why me? I don't fly these type of drones....And from all of the other videos that I've seen I'm not that excited to get this thing in the air... I don't think I can give it a good review especially from what I've seen and from what I know and understand about drones the work I've been doing for years with Drones tell me this is nothing at all special.... #HellYeahFPV
I learn something from every drone I fly. I find if it is enjoyable to fly and someone can learn something from it that may help them decide if the product is right for them, or absolutely not right for them, then it's a win for me. If the product sucks, is cheap, doesn't fly, right flies into a tree, maybe the marketing is a bit deceitful and I don't enjoy the experience (or I may not based on my initial evaluation), then it's a no go for me. Not about being that _special_ for me, as in the end most drones do a similar thing and they are all getting pretty good, and sometimes I don't understand why someone else may be interested in the drone, but if I can help them and enjoy the flight then it is good for my creative psyche and I say bring it on!
@@AlienDrones thanks...
DJI MINI 2 SE IS A MUCH BETTER DEAL.
Could do without the music
Yup, it's not for everyone...
Camera disservice 😢
Cool, but not the smoothest drone. Like # 25!!!
True that! Thanks for the like!
4K my a** that looks terrible
Video looks "cartoonish" and not life like details, IMHO. I've seen better video on less expensive drones.
