The starfish shape of the Bump F-15 drone makes it outstanding. However, as you will see in the upcoming sections, there is more to the Bump F-15 than just the looks.

Some of the features that you can expect from the F-15 include brushless motors. Therefore, you can expect a better flight performance. Also, this is a camera drone, so you can capture nice aerial footage for your flight memories.

You will also be pleased that this small drone has many automatic flight functions. Therefore, if you are looking for a high quality beginner quadcopter, you might consider getting this one.

Like every other drone, there are some downsides to the F-15 too. However, these are not deal breakers. For instance, the camera is 1080PHD, which is quite low on the resolution considering that many similarly priced drones come with 2.7K to 4K cameras.

Another thing is that this aircraft is not foldable. Therefore, it might not be the perfect traveling drone because packing it can be a bother.

Eachine EX5 Drone Review

July 28, 2020January 14, 2021

Many sources agree that the Eachine EX5 is modeled after the DJI Mavic Mini. However, the look and styling is just about all they have in common.

This quadcopter comes with a 4K camera, long battery life of 30 minutes and FPV transmission among others. It is also packed rich with automatic functions so that even beginner pilots can have a great time with it.

While this drone claims it comes with a 4K camera, it lacks a 3-axis gimbal for stabilizing the camera. In that case, it does not always take distortion-free footage.

This doesn’t mean it does not have a means of stabilization. It comes with electronic stabilization, but it is just never as good as a mechanical one.

There is no information about whether the drone has a micro SD card slot. Another downside is that it is not possible to adjust the vertical angle of the camera on the remote controller. There just isn’t a key for that function.

You can buy the 2.4G or the 5G WiFi versions of this quadcopter. The former has an image transmission distance of 200 meters while the latter can transmit over a distance of 1000 meters.

In the upcoming sections, we are going to see the features that the EX5 comes with, the design and build quality, battery, remote controller and many more.

Note: we are reviewing the EX5 2.4GHz version here.
