Hey, brought one and modded it before i flew it, replaced the transmitter antenna with a DX8 replacement, changed the reciever antenna with a full 1/4 wave, removed the battery plug on the quad as the centre pin means nothing and replaced it with a xt60, cut the centre earth lead of the battery and did the same.Some syma batteries are the same size and fit well, keep the top cover for the battery and your all good to go, better range in excess of 300 metres now.Next will be FPV antenna change.
I was about to pull the trigger on this one, gear best has it for 109.00 , but I think I will wait till they get all the bugs out of it thanks for the fair and honest review. opps they must have seen the review, just dropped it to $91.69
Great honest review! !!! Our neighbors kid has one has been buzzing around in the winter with his since xmas..... no issues...... my guess is poop happens..
Simple send it back or ask for another one,maybe you got a lemon,good luck with your replacement,if you get one ,hopefully next time you will list the web site or sites.
Sorry your having problems with yours. I have been flying one for a couple weeks now with no issues at all. I got the wifi version from Lightake.com. It is a very smooth flyer with plenty of power, and the cool factor of the movable arms makes it a fun quad to fly. By the way, I really enjoy your reviews. Keep them coming.
I had a nano quad acted same way, it was new, but the motors ended up being worn out. I wondered if it was a refurb, thus when I got it, the motors already had a lot of hours from first owner? Just a thought. Saw these for $68 shipped other day, tempted.
I am planning to buy this drone, i notice they have put the price up all of a sudden really annoying, i guess cos spring is on the way and it will start to get warmer, so more people will buy drones.I think Mr Davis was unlucky must have had a faulty drone. Might be a good idea when you first test it to hold it in you hands for a little wile and power up, make sure its fluid.
I had it for a while now and did not get a chance to fly it... tried today but bit windy... Apic failure...not sure if it's the wind, we'll try in a calm day some other time. One of the propellers are not working after very minor crushes.
It looks like you have to put a bit more juice in when you launch it, could have done with an auto launch feature, but it must still be a good drone its had a lot of reviews.
Sorry it's having problems, but glad to see the real world test. Have seen another review and everything worked on that one, but it is what it is. Cool looking but not the real thing, but at a reasonable price.
for drones with wifi.....do actually need wifi to connect to them and use it or is it like bluetooth? and if not do u have to have a stable wifi connection? THANKS!
was very excited to recieve my Q333, went to attempt first bind and it won't bind to my transmitter? Have tried multiple different solutions..very frustrated. anyone else run into this problem? if so please let me know how you fixed it! really don't want an ornament, would love to fly this 😫
Hi. I have almost same issues with my drone. Check battery , because I put to charge my battery for 10+ hours and it goes to 3.7-3.8V... It must be 7.4 Volts and I think that I have problems with charger or with battery :(
Great drone i just wish WL toys would support it better, getting battries is not easy, most pf the websights are dealing in dollers not pounds, well supported in america, outside not so much.
mine did exactly the same ,it fell and broke the back right arm , I fixed it OK ? but not flown it again coz I know its gonna do the same thing and this time it will be proper f##ked . what a shame and a waste of money , sorry this happens with yours mate but on the other hand I'm glad it did , and maybe people will think twice about getting this thing . wltoys need to sort this problem out ? .
Yes the problems sucked. I was hoping it would be perfect. however I have had $3,000 setups that gave me bigger headaches. With this one you just throw it away and move on. - JD
its got good reviews. strange how you give the inspire all the kudos yet rip this one. Could dji have instructed you to do a neg review? who knows, but most of the reviews are positive on this copter. Either you got a lemon or youre a biased reviewer.
so how's that old saying go... "you get what you pay for, umm fool me once my Mama didn't raise no inspire wannabe pilot" morale of this story, kids stay in school so you can afford to pay for cool if you're not.
Well gotta say...same problem here. Just fell out of the sky...Hit the pavement though....But hey zero damage! Video here: ruclips.net/video/avqksZqgoH0/видео.html Do you think it is the battery coming loose?? Becuase when it hit the ground the battery flew! I do have an inspire 1 also and a few others...I laughed so hard when mine hit the ground because I know it wasn't my inspire. Great video and commentary!
AHHHH!. mine just died . 5 flights , goes off on its own out of control , stick left it might go right 60 0r 75 degrees etc , then drops out of the sky . Spare batt 20 plus dollars wasted to . No motors working just tries to lower its legs and there stuck to . my 7th drone and my First Penguin , RUBBISH.

please make videos about your mods!
Never had issues with mine! Flies great!! Fast too!!

if you can mod the connector to an XT60 it would be fine. The connector was a faulty design I think.
WOW WTF I was going back and forth between this and the Q303. Thanks for helping me decide. Hope the send you a replacement.

Great vid! What do you think is the best micro quad to fly inside
Great review. I like honest reviews and your reviews are the best.
Thank you Glen. - JD
I had mine drop out of the sky lock a rock and crash. Not sure if it was a battery connection issue or what? They look cool though

Yeah It's a nice flier but the battery takes forever to charge, don't know if the charge time is worth the flight time! Hey it looks nice on my shelf!
I had a nano quad acted same way, it was new, but the motors ended up being worn out. I wondered if it was a refurb, thus when I got it, the motors already had a lot of hours from first owner? Just a thought. Saw these for $68 shipped other day, tempted.
Will you be able to strip it out of its electronics and convert it to say like a naza system? or race hardware? would be a cool project!
Man that sucks I've had 10 flights no issues , seems like you may have gotten a bad egg
SETXQFPV is it fast?
same it works great!

WOW, WTF, I'll guess I'll go for the Q303, Thanks for the Great videos

yuep I am in that FELL LIKE ROCK CLUB too,, I actually want to try it once more but I know that it's just the bell's and whistle's calling me back...

On second thoughts safer to test it on the ground a good distance away.
I've just reviewed this, there seems to be a version A and B, perhaps you got one of the first early models?
with a little work I think for the money my girls would love to have a inspire 1
It's a boy graded but you can use the frame and mod it
HI FRIEND! HAVE YOU CALIBRATED THE GYRO? I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS YOUR CASE, BUT MY WAS ERROR IN THE GYRO. I CALCULATED AND GONE RIGHT!
They should ship some duct tapes with it to secure the battery :)
:)
Hey dude, you could to make a review it Hubsan 501 x JYU Hornet. Would be very important for me. Thanks!
if you pull the throttle all the way down the blades stop
GIMME YO WONTON BIG BOI correct, no altitude hold on this bird.
I need some help: should I get this, the h26w, the 506G, the 510g, or the 509g?
for drones with wifi.....do actually need wifi to connect to them and use it or is it like bluetooth?
and if not do u have to have a stable wifi connection? THANKS!
Just like connecting to your home wifi !

mine fell out of the sky too arms don't retract and 1 motor works
BayAerials Lear Production's if you fly it until the battery is completely dead, then it'll fall out of the sky.
Great drone i just wish WL toys would support it better, getting battries is not easy, most pf the websights are dealing in dollers not pounds, well supported in america, outside not so much.
WL "TOYS'" is right.. Why have retracts for a quad like this..
The crashed problem happened in your drone.
The range not great but you don't have to go that far
Maybe some toy company will make a terminator drone like in the movie, there's a Halo one.
mine did exactly the same ,it fell and broke the back right arm , I fixed it OK ? but not flown it again coz I know its gonna do the same thing and this time it will be proper f##ked . what a shame and a waste of money , sorry this happens with yours mate but on the other hand I'm glad it did , and maybe people will think twice about getting this thing . wltoys need to sort this problem out ? .
Looks cool, but damn the problems. Guess you do get what you pay for.
Yes the problems sucked. I was hoping it would be perfect. however I have had $3,000 setups that gave me bigger headaches. With this one you just throw it away and move on. - JD
Actually this is going on my wall. It's too cool to throw away. :)
Less than U$100.
It's just learning to pilot that problems end
07:40 i have this same problem with other quad WLTOYS.
its got good reviews. strange how you give the inspire all the kudos yet rip this one. Could dji have instructed you to do a neg review? who knows, but most of the reviews are positive on this copter. Either you got a lemon or youre a biased reviewer.
No and no lol
GOOD LUCK! (taken)
What ever happened with the drone?
Mine ended up in the trash :(
too bad. I have heard good things mostly.
someone else had their's fall out of the sky for no reason.
I'VE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH WLTOYS I LIKE SYMA BETTER
2:30 looks like its copying its older brother xD (the inspire 1 also is very buggy)
Hahaha yep !
Unfortunately you get what you pay for. It's hard to believe that anything that complex at such a low price could be terribly reliable!
You need to look at an Inspire. How is this a clone, it's half the size.
I used to sell Inspires. I know it's a toy clone. Not an actual clone.
I still wouldnt mind having one, it looks so cool and compact.
It is cool. But the battery came loose on mine. :(
Nice review but this quad looks full of problems.
You prolly got a faulty one, never seen anyone do that but yea u get wot u pey 4
HELO....RANGE SIGNAL AND FPV IS SO BAD.!!
6.5 MINUTES SIGNAL LOSS AND CRASH !!BE CAREFUL!!
Thanks
obviously the first crash you had buggered it up
Yep
I suspect, as you said, it was a faulty battery connection
Yes I think so. It would have been a better design to have a simple plug in connector.
I have bought a lot of turds but i'm so glad I never bought this one.
like from me
I have it, and I don't looked those problem and falls like you. May be it;s this one of broken (sorry, I'm russian)

Man that hurt on pavement ! -- Yours did the exact same thing mine did. I was sad to see it drop out of the air. I do like this drone. - JD

you proabably got a faulty one :(
I hear mine was not the only one to be faulty outa de box.
Capacitor!!
I wish I had seen this video before I puchased. I think they are all defective.
waste of 200$ .... thank you for uploading
Thanks for the honest review. RcSaylors clearly got paid to brag on this junk and caused many people like me to get burnt on this crappy quad.
Nameless Droner RCSaylors are full of absolute bollocks, they're just after affiliate sales and consequently their reviews are always rigged.
calibrate it ......
lol
hey bro if you give away drones i wish the i could win this =)
It thinks its a Real DJI Inspire thats why it crashed !
lol I agree
Pay a little...get a little...its junk
Looks real crappy dude, I wouldn't even think of buying one, sorry.........
its not any clone, it is a piece of crap
