4DRC F6 Drone

4DRC F6 Drone Review

The 4DRC F6 drone looks like a high quality piece of work that beginners as well as advanced pilots can enjoy flying.

The bold and masculine looks of the 4DRC F6 quadcopter endear it to many men. To enhance its style, it comes with two nice looking LED lights on either side of the nose at the top. They make it easy to spot when you are flying the quadcopter in lowly lit conditions.

Other things that you can look forward to include a nice storage case, two modular batteries and the excellent build quality. Of course, we shall look at all these in more detail later in this article.

Just as with any other drone, there are always some downsides. For instance, it seems that the 1080P resolution is just hype and that this is more of a 720P or even a lesser resolution camera. Therefore, do not hinge your hopes on this camera for aerial footage.

Another downside is that even with the slightest 1 MPH wind, the drone veers away and becomes quite hard to control.

In some isolated cases, users have complained that the drone lost signal mid-flight. These Are many things to worry about, but there are equally good things.

Keep an open mind!

Holy Stone HS340 Mini Drone

Holy Stone HS340 Drone Review

If you need a mini drone that you can fly easily both indoors and outdoors, you might want to try the Holy Stone HS340 mini drone with the throw go function. You just toss it into the air and it takes off, after calibration.

Of course, this small drone also comes with other flight functions. In addition, it has a camera so that you can have fun taking aerial footage.

Since this is a mini drone, it lacks many things too. For instance, it does not have wind resistance, so it will be unstable and hard to trim even in the lowest velocity wind. All it takes to make the drone fly away for good is a small to medium strength gust.

Another downside is that this mini is not foldable.

Because of the many smart ways to fly the drone, it is good for beginner adults as well as kids. However, as an adult beginner, you will soon outgrow the drone and you will probably want to get something bigger.
