Finally a guy that test's all of a products abilities. So many times reviewers just hit a few high points, but this one was amazing. Excellent video sir!! Liked and followed for sure.
Thank you for doing this video to help us beginners learn how to set up and fly this drone. I got it for my husband for Christmas but he’s not into flying drones instead he requested for an RC car where he can jumps and speed in dirt roads 😒🙄 Long story short, I decided to take over the remote. Just registered and got the TRUST certificate for it. Your video helped out a lot. I have a little more confident with flying it now. I was always worried that it will somehow malfunction mid-air and take a hard landing. Thanks for showing us all the possibilities that this drone can do! Great video.
Overall, I'm really impressed with this drone. Almost a 1/2 hr flight time. Pretty close to the Mavic Air 2 flight time (34 min). Excellent review & flight Pete!! :) 😊👍
Against my better judgment, I was on the John and just got the f11. Warning to new users, wait it out and go outside or you will be like me and jump off the pot to chase this lil bugger down.
I have the F11 pro and the F11 GIM. The GIM is going back to amazon next week. My F11 pro goes as far as I want it to and the GIM was supposed to go much farther. It only went 200 meters and lost video and returned to home. 2 different weekends out in the open country. No it was not in beginner mode. The F11 pro is staying because it is fun to fly and take pictures but not so good for video without a gimble. Ruko does have really good customer service and I am very happy with the company. If you get the card for a free battery, use it. They sent me one in a week.
I been watching you fly there for years. You could never lose a bird out there I wish I had that much open space to learn in. Fly away is my greatest concern. Old and poor and can't, afford it. I see there's some sort of community in the distance so that must be your source for internet. I'm waaay off grid up in the mountains in sage brush range and distant trees. Super easy to lose anything in. Even a dog! Haha Dandahermit
Just picked up one of these for $200 even on a black Friday sale. Will be the first drone I have ever touched. No reall clue what I will use it for, besides inspecting my solar panels on my roof (2 story house). Easily worth $200 vs potentially dying trying to inspect the panels by climbing up there
I’ve had mine for two years now…and believe it or not,it’s a go to fun machine…more technical flying I’ll use my autel evo 👍🏽.. it’s a great drone/ quad..no complaints!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I haven’t had any luck with it, got it 2 years ago flew maybe 3 times at the most, so it’s just been in storage. I think I just didn’t get the settings in the app right. I’m giving it a second chance. Currently replacing the battery in the controller. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you! Very informative video. I have one of these on order and this is very useful in order to get a head start on learning the controller and app.
@@loganwalters1646 when you first get it it is set for a sort of beginner mode, you need to disable that, then you can fly it the full distance. 21:17 - he talks about it here 21:47 - and he shows how to turn off the beginner more in the app here. under settings there is the Beginner Mode option that is switched on, just tap the switch and it will turn it off, then use the sliders to increase the flight distance and flight altitude. do like he did and leave the return altitude around 20m, unless you are going to be flying somewhere with really talltrees, power lines, or buildings. press save. now you should be able to fly it the full distance and height
A little weird that you can see the propellers in the video view. I just unboxed and this is a helpful video. I need to learn the remote functions so they become 2nd nature since I'm not that coordinated.
Fantastic job sir! I just ordered one after I saw your video! Living here in Texas next to the beach im going to rig it to my fishing line and drop the bait 100 yards. I'll have set up something to drop the weight and bait's! Hope it works!!ir so.
@@RCEscape Hi, just one question. Is it necessary to do all of the processes like the Compass calibration and the Gyro calibration before every flight? Thank you for your help.
Just started researching drones in this price point and this looks very nice! Excellent video and thank you for the thorough review. Since this is a one year old video, is there a newer drone/updated drone similar to this out now? My wife might get me a drone for Xmas so I’d love to know! Thank you and I’m a new sub!
There is a newer model and it can go 3km with 3km of fpv video to boot. You can get the F11s 4k pro from Banggood if you don't mind ordering from China. www.banggood.com/custlink/GDmyewRMs5 Or you can pay more and get the Ruko F11 Gim 2 from Amazon. amzn.to/3V2X4Ty Same exact drone.
@@RCEscape Yeah, I got hit with 24+ inches of snow. I been working like a dog cleaning up the driveway etc. Right now I wish I lived where you at 😂😂🤣😂🤣. So we could go out and rip a few packs. Stay safe and God bless Pete. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@electroddxful It's like 80 degrees Fahrenheit right now and basically 5mph winds. Sunny no clouds. I got people doing the side yard upgrade so gotta stay home :(
Excellent review!...this Sir is how it's done. This will be my go to video when I start flying mine. I am a little confused about one thing though, what is the actual name of the app you loaded, yours says SJRC should I download the SJRC app?
I can’t find that app used on the iPad. Where is it downloaded from? GREAT VIDEO! Very well done and covers a lot quickly but informative. This is basically an instruction video along with a review.
Useful video I bought the jettime X7 which is in all but name the exact drone as this ,but there's little or no real info or video info or parts available for it . There's no way to contact Jettime in any way , luckily this Ruko is the same drone so so batteries are available,
Excellent review. Awesome flight time considering the wind it had to put up with. First stage low voltage warning a bit premature? Otherwise seems ok. 👍
Yes, I do wish the low voltage parameters can be personalized to the users preference. That'll make better use of the great flight time this has. Thanks Keith!! 😍👍
Seems solid.. past all your test.. so far. Little early for Shure.. don't like the geo fencing thing? How far do they say can fly?? Or can you test! 😁😁😁 After further thought but spendy.. FPV start up ..only 200 more.. goggles.. Bird.. remote.. bats and charger....
Thanks for the video. I’m having trouble pairing the controller. - Drone power on. - Control on - Up/Down The lights remain rapid blinking purple and it does beep with these steps.
Nice video - will be picking up but 2 questions. Your thoughts this unit versus DJI Mav 2 AND maybe I missed it in your demo but does the camera Zoom??????
I've ALLWAYS noticed that you set up using your tail gate for shade to view your cell. Can't see any of them in the daylight. I want a good. Will I be able to set beginner mode without the app?? I REALLY need it. I'm 80 yrs old and super scared of fly away. Dandahermit
Why are the controls different when you turn on GPS mode? I can fly with confidence but once the GPS mode is on I have no idea what my controller inputs are doing to the drone! It’s confusing
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot. My question do you need to registered this drone to FAA? If so, it’s asking for serial # and I can’t find it on the drone itself.
hello- nice video - looking for suggestion cheapest drone that can take picture from 10ft away that way shadow of drone does not appear in pic -for roof damage with a good battery .. I do have RC Airplane experience - anybody can answer . .
Why are you using the sjrc gps pro Wi-Fi and also the f11 pro Wi-Fi?? I don't understand. I downloaded the f11 pro app, is that enough?? Also on my first flight why did the wind take the drone away?? And lastly when I pair the transmitter to the drone and pushed the left stick up and down the lights don't change. I actually have to turn on the Wi-Fi on my phone and then go into the app and calibrate the drone before the lights start changing. Is my drone defective?? I do hope you can get back to me thanks oh and also when I take off on the one button take off it's still drifting, it's not really holding the position solid even when there was little to know when. What am I doing wrong?? Please for the level God help me.
Hey man amazing video very helpful. I just got this drone today everything works just like in your video but one major problem I’m hoping you can help me with I cannot get the app to connect to the drone. I’m pretty knowledgeable with this stuff I’ve tried it plenty of times. I connect the phone to the drone Wi-Fi and go through all the prompts to setup the gps etc. and cannot link the phone to drone through the app. Any idea what I’m doing wrong ???
i just got it for X mas, All Jokes Aside when it hovers or fly's it keeps going slowly backwards to the left, I've replaced the blade and it still don't work
If that drone had an 3 axis gimbal and a better quality camera, which is pretty good, it would be as good as having a DJI.. Decent at best! What ever happened to the Bugs?
Is there a difference between the ROKU and the SJRC F11 Pro 4K ? I can't even figure out what app to use. In the play store search, all these different app come up.
Did you have any troubles connecting video with cellular on? As soon as I go through the app, it does not want to connect video unless I turn off cellular.
Ok, a question. What exactly is the difference between the F11 PRO and the (regular) F11 ? Is it just a matter of the extra (2nd) battery being included ? Or is there any actual difference in the drones themselves ? And the PRO is supposed to run via the “PRO” app, i that app different from the app for the F11 ??
I haven't flown mine yet and haven't learned to fly these yet. No or sketchy cell here up in da mountains where I live. So can I view camera and take pictures without the app?? Also How do I set it up for trainer mode?? Thanks Dandahermit.

Dude, thank you SO MUCH for making this vid. WAAYYY better than the RUKO vid and F11 Pro user manual.
They are both rather informative. I guess the manual was a bit harder to follow?

It seems to be a descent quad but based on what I am seeing it's only a little better than my original SJRC F11, good review as always Pete.
Thanks Greg!! I also thought it will be some shiny silver gun metal color too :)
It is definitely a good flyer though.
Very nice review sir. 👌I just got the F11 GIM can't wait to take it out now. Thanks.
The GIM version is the same exact drone as the f11pro 4K by SJRC.

Mine is the 4 k fs 11 pro and it doesn't have bottom cameras. And I'm thinking SJRC is the same except this it's 4 k range.Dandahermit
4k is the camera not control distance. The sjrc f11 pro 4k has about 1.5km distance. The S model has 3km distance.

No you dont family, but video would look better using a sd card...
Great video. Can you explain how to turn off beginner mode?
all of these type of drones have three dots on the app right top corner where there is the beginner mode on off toggle .

It is a beginner gps drone.
@@RCEscape ya I forget . How tuff it is to learn Fpv. All should start with a good GPS drone.. I see your point.. 💪💪👊👊
I can see the drone wings continuously show up in the left and right top of the video taken by the drone, how can I make it invisible?
Tilt the camera down a bit.
Great!!
💥💥 Seems like a decent drone but no gimbal to stabilize video.? That’s surprising for such a popular low budget unit.
I have been unable to have success with the gesture mode and stills or video. I can take a still pix using the app but not the controller. Odd
I've watched this video multiple times. I'm curious why you decided to use the SJ F Pro app instead of the recommended SJ GPS Pro app?
They are both the same and that is why it was used to show they are compatible.
@@RCEscape I tried it yesterday and my drone wouldn't connect to that app well. Maybe I'll try again.

Love you videos
Do you know if you can change modes on the SJRC transmitters?
Cheers Simon
Why are the controls different when you turn on GPS mode? I can fly with confidence but once the GPS mode is on I have no idea what my controller inputs are doing to the drone! It’s confusing
How come the app you are using is different than the one in the manual?
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot. My question do you need to registered this drone to FAA? If so, it’s asking for serial # and I can’t find it on the drone itself.
All you have to do is register yourself and put your FAA registration number on the drone.
That one SRC never returned back as remote didn't worked properly.
When it travels at a distance, does it shows you that it losing signal?
Are you doing this whole entire segment off of one battery charge?
Yes I am :)
Thanks, I just order one not too long ago, hopefully I'll have the same luck.
How far away from the remote can this guy fly?

I have one too.. 🙂
If that drone had an 3 axis gimbal and a better quality camera, which is pretty good, it would be as good as having a DJI.. Decent at best! What ever happened to the Bugs?
The F11 has taken over :) lol They all need to catch up! So far the F11 pro 4k is the quad to beat.
Is there a difference between the ROKU and the SJRC F11 Pro 4K ? I can't even figure out what app to use. In the play store search, all these different app come up.
The ruko f11 gim is the same as the sjrc f11 4k pro.
Does the ruko connect to a phone that only uses 5g wifi just like the sjrc f11?
So can I use either app to fly the F11 pro ? Which 1 works best?
Did you have any troubles connecting video with cellular on? As soon as I go through the app, it does not want to connect video unless I turn off cellular.

I haven't flown mine yet and haven't learned to fly these yet. No or sketchy cell here up in da mountains where I live. So can I view camera and take pictures without the app?? Also How do I set it up for trainer mode?? Thanks Dandahermit.
You don't need cell service to fly it. Just a device that has wifi. I think it has beginner mode but don't think it has trainer mode.
Couple of cuestions, have not sensors at front ?
The blades are showing in the videos in the upper corners. Is there a way to remove that in the app or you have to edit the video manually?
You can lower the camera angle to remove the blades or post edit.
Хороший обзор, спасибо
ordered a kf102, with this drone is it possible to reach up to 700m?
My drone took a minor crash and still functioning but the gimbal camera is pointing down, what do I do?
There should be a recalibration feature in the app I believe.
💪👍👍
Is the Holy Stone HS720E better than this drone?
Is there a way to set a full-circle flight around an object/point?
Yes of course. @31:40 time mark.
