Great review. I now know way more about using my drone. The manual and other review.i watched didn't show much beyond the basics. This review is way better and far more thorough.
GPS is on but it drifts off because I think you didn't calibrate it under the screen-button 'Ready'. After that the GPS is pretty precise. After proper calibration mine lands within 50 cm of the launch spot. You do have to let it hang above the spot after take off for a moment so it can store the coordinates of the landingspot.
Thanks for this! A much better illustration of proper calibration of the Drone! ? If you have multiple batteries for the drone, do you have to recalibrate on each battery swapout?
Hello, thank you for a nice review and step by step instructions. I just have question, hope you don’t mind. I tried to used follow me feature in the app. But always get this message pop up. Non-Opticalflow fixed-point mode, Disable. As I checked I did calibrated as instructed, check number of GPS satellite over 10+ found. What seem to be problem? How to fix? Appreciate in advance for any help.

To me, those features don't impress me and not useable. Out of all the budget gps drones, the F11 4k pro, F11s 4k pro, HS 600, sjrc F7 and the Ruko F11 GIM2 are better choices for circle me and follow me. Out of those, none of them have usable follow me but the circle me is useable.

How to determine when the controller is fully charged when charging. Any lights or other ways to tell when fully charged. I don’t want to overcharge the controller battery
I have this drone. This would be a perfect drone if ZLL released a firmware update to address the jello when shooting a video. I have tried Davinci Resolve and Power Director for image stabilization. Power Director works belter but not much. The picture quality on the microsd card is very nice at 4k. For the price its a decent little drone.
Brilliant video on the SG However could you advise me as I just bought one. I don't know if you or anyone can help me. I just purchasaed this drone through Ebay and think it's a brilliant drone. However I received it with charge, and flew it with max flight time on average eight minutes before first low battery warning. I recharged again thinking they were maybe low by the time it got to me in Scotland, from China. I also don't know if the Blue lights should become solid as a sign there fully charged. Can anyone give me a bit of advice on this as I believed there should be fly time up to around 20 minutes? Much appreciated. Daniel
The flight time will depend on the age of the battery. Some of these drones have been on the shelf for a while now so the battery may be not as healthy as if it was a new release. Yes, red indicates charging and green or blue indicates fully charged on most chargers.
@@RCEscape Thanks so much, that makes a lot of sense this may be part of the issue, and may need to buy brand new Batteries if they still make them new. Again thanks for that advice. Thank you! You do fantastic reviews by the way.
How did it go with its SD card recording? Did it record the flight OK? Mine inserts errors into the SD card file, but maybe my card it too slow for 4k recording.

Hi, Im a newbie. I want to buy drone for some landscape videos/pictures for my travel trip and some leisure activities in weekend. Can you recommend the best stable camera among ZLL models SG906 max, SG907 max and SG908 or other drone within the price range 150-200$ ?
I own the standard Sg907. Good camera but lots of jello. With that three axis gimbal, the sg907 max is a great inexpensive quad. Sure the f11 pro is better, but it costs more too. The 906 max is a bit heavier and might be more stable in higher wind. The 907 is VERY light so anything more than 4 mph is an issue. I will likely upgrade to the 906 max with the 3 axis gimbal. I've looked at the competition and without entering the $300 range, the 906 is the next drone above the 907. If you want a smaller quad, the 907 max is great too.
The flight of the drone is like any other, but the recording is not, you could see more recording of the drone, the square where the recording comes out is very small and is not appreciated
It flies just like the sg906 what's the different just the look of it but its the same motors the same speed same icons in app same altitude and range but different name.
It's crazy cuz the hardware of the drone seems good yet the camera is worth than my backup camera for my vehicle I don't understand why they put such a horrendous camera but thanks for the review
@@RCEscape If you ever do test (GPS) follow-me, then please determine which type. Basically there are two types. 1. String, where it slides to the side and continues to follow from behind. 2. Compass. Where it always stays in compass position relative to you. I much prefer the last type so I can have it fly in front or next to me to keep an eye on it. Also useful is when you can still use the sticks. And a return-to-controller(phone) when pressing home while in follow-me or right after. If you really want to go fancy you can put your phone on a RC car. But be careful. Some drones easily go into toilet bowl in follow-me mode! Then you have to run after your car and grab the phone to cancel follow-me! Although, for us viewers that might be fun. Then of course there is optical active-track. Almost never works on cheap drones. I wouldn't bother. Actually the Tello with Tello-Me app works pretty darn good. Why they didn't include it in the Mini I have no idea. Anyhow, many people are interested in follow-me or active-track. But I must say you do test features other reviewers don't.
1st off do not buy this drone, because it does not work with android phones at all, there is only 1 type of android phone that works with this drone & do not buy this drone from flightelf, they lie to you, send you the wrong drone & tell you it's your fault, this company needs to be shut down.
Good to know to not order from Flightelf and not get it if you have aAndroid. I am trying Walmart and have a IPhone. Fingers crossed or I will return it with the return window with a updated review
@@daviddavis4020 it is because you have the only phone that it works with, you must have a very old android because that is the only phone this piece of crap allows you to use, this so called company won't even give me my money back when they know they sent me the wrong one, this so called company is corrupt beyond reality.
