The black and white Potensic Elfin Mini Done for kids and adult beginners is a good looker. In addition, it is a Potensic, which places it far ahead of many other mini drones in the market when it comes to build quality.

However, it takes much more to make a good mini drone that can hold a stable flight, take good quality pictures and offer a decent flight time. In that case, we are going to look at the features of this mini drone, the camera quality as well as the flight functions.

While the Elfin Mini is a good quadcopter for beginners, it has some downsides too. For instance, it is a bit too bulky with the propeller guards on. Therefore, it “refuses” to fit in the storage bag so you have to tinker with the guards when you are done flying.

Another downside is that the videos and images appear a bit shaky. There is no gimbal, which means the camera is not stabilized. Therefore, you can only take good footage when there is no wind or when you get the quadcopter to hover.

But not all is lost, as you will see in the features and flight functions.

As they say on their company page, many people desire to fly but only a few of us can make it to the air. Therefore, to bring you closer to your dream of flying, the China-based Vantop Technology Limited that makes the SNAPTAIN SP7100 brings you a wide range of kid, adult, beginner and advanced drones to help you experience the joy of flying.

Among other drones under this brand name that we have reviewed here include SNAPTIAN A15, SP600, SP700, SP660 and S5C. As you can see, there is quite a wide range of drones in this stable.

Back to our SNAPTAIN SP700 review, this reasonably priced drone comes with features such as 4K camera, brushless motors, shock absorption for the camera and many more.

In addition, the quadcopter has a high capacity battery with a long flight time. If you are a beginner, you will also appreciate the availability of many automatic functions. We shall look at these later, in detail.

Like any other quadcopter in the market, this one also has its downsides. For instance, one of the issues some users have reported includes the drone not responding to commands like return home. While this appears to be isolated to a few cases, it could still happen to you.

Let’s check the main features of this drone.

Potensic D68 Drone Review

Are you looking for a small drone that is going to take awesome footage from the air? If your answer is yes, you might love the Potensic D68. In addition, this is a true 4K drone! If you have a YouTube channel or something similar, this drone is going to help you capture impressive footage.

4K resolution drones are associated with high cost. However, in this case, we could say that the D68 is one of the most affordable options for small 4K drones. After all, not only does it take nice footage, but it also comes with more features that make it worth having. It takes more than just a good camera to buy a drone.

Potensic makes some pretty awesome quadcopters. However, like all the others, even the D68 has its downsides. They are not the “make or break deal” kind of downsides, but it is good to be aware of them.

For instance, you have to calibrate the drone every time that you turn it on. And it is not as if the process gets easier. No, it will be just like the first time that you bought it.

Another downside that you need to be aware of is that when the quadcopter gets too far, it disconnects from the phone WiFi and connects to the next available one. Therefore, you lose your first person view. On the same note, it does not reconnect with your phone when it gets back within range.

What kinds of features can you look forward to in the Ruko F11 GIM drone?

There are many! Today, toy class drones for both adults and children have gotten better. For example, on a single full charge, you are going to get up to 28 minutes of flight time. This is a good deal considering that the charging time is about 4.5 hours. However, for more fun, you need to order a spare battery or two.

Well, there are many good things to say about this drone. However, there are some downsides too. While these are really not deal breakers, it is important that you know about them. For instance, many newbie users complain that calibrating the quadcopter with the remote controller is too hard.

In addition, this drone does not have any form of obstacle avoidance. Therefore, you should only fly it in wide-open spaces.

SYMA X500 Drone Review

From two batteries, the SYMA X500 drone is going to give you 56 minutes of flight time. Therefore, there is no need to buy a third battery because when flying a quadcopter, 50 minutes is a long time.

But flight time is just one of the features that people consider when buying a quad. In that case, we shall look at more of the features that the X500 comes with, and they are many.

However, before we wax lyrical about the features, we shall look at a few disadvantages that this quad comes with. Everything has a flipside and this one is not any different.

For instance, many users report issues with the SYMA Air app connectivity. Therefore, this app may completely fail to work with some android devices. Other issues seem to be missing batteries, you know, coming with one instead of two batteries. At the same time, some people say theirs failed to charge completely.

However, all these issues seem to be from isolated cases. Therefore, we cannot give a blanket condemnation and say that the quadcopter is bad. On the same note, it is a bit worrying.
