FLYHAL FX1

FLYHAL FX1 Review

People who have used the FLYHAL FX1 drone say that it is one of the best deals within the $200 price range. However, it takes much more than the price to make a good drone. So, here, we are going to do a deep review of the FX1 and see whether it is a good investment.

FLYHAL makes many drones, such as the F111 Mini Drone and E69. However, what really sets the FX1 apart from the other models is that it looks like the MJX Bugs 16 Pro drone. Only the color and the price are different, with the Bugs 16 Pro coming in gray color while the FX1 is black.

Before you get to know the features and the flight functions of this drone, you need to know there is a learning curve. Thus, if this is your first quadcopter, you will need to take it slow at first so that you can learn how to use the camera, and how to fly it.

There are no propeller guards. You need to be extra careful because a crash could ruin the blades.

Keep reading to see the other features that this quadcopter comes with.

SYMA X600

SYMA X600 Review

The SYMA X600 drone is a small, adult and kid beginner drone that flies well, and comes in two versions – the basic and the upgraded version.

The basic version is foldable, comes with a remote controller and it does not have a camera. However, the upgraded version comes with a nose camera with a resolution of 1080P.

If you buy the first version without a camera, you will have to fly it blindly with the remote controller alone. The good thing is that the overall flight range is not too long, so it will always be in your sight.

Mostly, in this X600 review article, we shall be looking at the basic version, without a camera. Before you write it off, it makes a perfect gift for kids or any other person that you want to introduce to the drone hobby.

Although it looks like a great small drone for beginners all round, there have been some complaints about the camera version. The SYMA Fly app seems not to connect specifically to the X600.

Also, this is a small drone, light in weight and without much to offer except the flying experience. Thus, as soon as you have learned how to fly, you will outgrow it and you will probably want a bigger one.

Keep reading to see the features and specs of the SYMA X600 drone.

Potensic P5 Drone

Potensic P5 with 2.7K Camera Review

Potensic is a dronemaker who has something for everyone. For instance, they have mini drones for kids and adults, packed with features and flight functions. They even have the DREAMER 4K drone fly more combo, which comes with a myriad of accessories. However, here, we are going to do a review of the Potensic P5 with a 2.7K camera.

You can order this drone with a carry bag and two batteries for longer flight time. It does not have a GPS.

The second P5 drone comes with a 2.7K camera and smart GPS return when it loses signal or battery runs low.

The third option is the P5 RC drone comes with a 1080P camera. This is also the cheapest version.

Some of the downsides you might want to know about the P5 with a 2.7K camera include the fixed camera angle (not possible to adjust angle remotely).

Holy Stone HS260

Holy Stone HS260 Review

If you have zero drone flying experience, you should get a drone that does more of the work and lets you have the fun at the same time. The Holy Stone HS260 is one such drone. You will find it so easy to figure out the controls. Besides, it comes with a comprehensive user manual that will take you through the steps for calibrating and flying the HS260.

From the Holy Stone drones that we have reviewed in the past such as the HS710 quadcopter, you can tell that they make high quality beginner and advanced user aircrafts.

All the same, they do have their limitations. Even the HS260 has its own limitations. It is better to know them as they will help you make up your mind whether to buy it or leave it.

One downside that is really irking is that the remote controller does not fit most of the modern smartphones, which are larger than the past ones.

As much as we say that the app unlocks many flight functions, there are some things that only work when you are using the remote controller. For instance, the emergency stop function only works from the remote controller. Also, you can only adjust the camera vertical angle on the remote controller.

The few downsides apart, this drone has some incredible features and flight functions too. Actually, the pros are more than the cons, so it makes sense to buy it.

SANROCK H859 Drone Review

The SANROCK H859 is a small, lightweight and affordable mini drone for beginner adults as well as kids. It is a good quadcopter for learning how to fly but soon after, you will feel the need to get one with more specs.

As a beginner drone, you expect some things such as user-friendliness and that is exactly what you get. Even an 11-year old can fly this aircraft without any trouble. However, please note that the manufacturer-recommended minimum user age is 14 years.

While this mini drone checks many boxes, it still has some downsides, which may be small, but you should take note of them all the same.

It is so light in weight such that the smallest air movement will send it straying from its flight path. Also, the FPV distance is a bit short at 96 feet only.

Another downside common with this small drone is that it comes with two batteries but there is only one charging cable.

Every battery should come with its charging cable such as we found with the Holy Stone HS710 quadcopter that we reviewed earlier.

If you are looking for a small drone that you can enjoy flying around your home, this one should fit the bill very well.

Keep reading to see more information on its features and flight functions.
