EXO X7 Ranger PLUS Review

EXO X7 Ranger Plus

On Amazon, they refer to the EXO X7 Ranger PLUS as a high-end beginner adult drone with camera. Therefore, we set out to explore whether it is really high-end, by looking at the features it comes with.

Some of the most important considerations when buying a drone includes the flight range, the camera quality, battery time/flight time, and the build quality. You shall read about all those here, in detail.

There are really no serious downsides with this drone, well, except for the high price. All the same, there have been complaints that the company will claim you have crash-landed the drone if you land it on the grass and one of the motors fail.

As usual, we advise you to fly your drone when the weather is calm, no rain, no snow and no wind.

DJI Mini 3 Pro Review

DJI Mini 3 Pro

If you are looking for an excellent flying camera, this DJI Mini 3 Pro review is for you. This is the newest addition in the DJI mini drones stable.

Compared to the Mini 2 before it, the Mini 3 Pro is a great improvement. Where its predecessors lacked vital features such as obstacle avoidance, this one comes with it, making it one of the safest small drones to fly.

Even with all the features, this drone still weighs less than 250g so you will not need to register it with your civil aviation authority before you fly it.

This drone comes with so many good things. They include long distance flight, longer flight time from battery, incredible flight performance, and many automated flight modes.

The only downside you will find with this mini quadcopter is that it is the most expensive in the stable. Costing several hundreds of dollars, you will feel the dent on your wallet, but the experience will be totally worth it.

In the package, there is no USB cable for charging the battery. You will have to use your smartphone charging cable.

JJRC X21 Review

JJRC X21

JJRC is a respected dronemaker that has been making all types of hobby drones for many years.

They have basic quadcopters for beginners and they have some with advanced features. The JJRC X21 is one of the latter since it comes with omni-directional obstacle avoidance.

In their lineup, you are going to find quadcopters such as the JJRC X19, JJRC A353GW, and JJRC X16 which we reviewed earlier.

The X21 is small, sleek and well built. It is packed with dual cameras, brushless motors, 5-inch foldable props and many other features.

Another of the most notable features is the camera. This drone comes with a high quality 4K camera. If you are looking to get your foot into aerial shooting, you can start on this beautiful drone.

Every drone has its flipside. This one is not any different because the remote control uses 2 AA batteries. This looks like an advanced hobby drone with obstacle avoidance, long flight time and many more. We feel that a remote controller with an integrated rechargeable battery would have been much better.

Another thing is the low takeoff weight of this drone. It is about 165g, which is too light and might be hard to trim in the wind. However, as you read along, you will find out how good the flight performance is because of the brushless motors.

Autel EVO Nano+ Review

Autel EVO Nano Plus

The Autel Evo Nano Plus is a small but powerful mini drone. It has excellent features such as brushless motors, high capacity battery (s), and good build quality. The world-class camera sits on a 3-axis gimbal for stabilization. If you are a photography enthusiast, this is the camera drone for you.

The most outstanding feature in the camera is that it allows a lot of light to get to the sensor so that it can capture photos and videos in vivid colors. We shall look at more camera details later.

This is a good drone and it has quite a lot to offer, with some sources even saying that it has the potential to become the best mini drone of 2022.

Any drone, especially when new, always has issues. For this one, the first downside is the price and the high shipping fee. We say high because there have been firmware issues.

Another downside with this drone is that the app keeps making noise and sounds whenever you want it to do something. There is a constant beeping noise and voice directions telling you what the app is doing.

Skydio2+ Review

SMRC icat8

The Skydio2+ drone is made in the USA and it is going to set you back slightly more than $1000.

In the past, we have reviewed several high quality drones for aerial photography. These include the DJI FPV Combo, which sells at almost the same price.

Other dones that we have looked at include Yuneec Typhoon H Pro and some models from Potensic and Holy Stone, to name but just a few of them.

None of the drones we have reviewed in the past match the Skydio2 Plus when it comes to the combination of price and features.

The Skydio2+, this is a high quality quadcopter. It comes with many improvements on its predecessor. For instance, it has a longer flight range of 6000 meters. It also has better imaging qualities.

Above all, this drone is equipped with an excellent AI system for obstacle avoidance and autonomous flying.

Like every other drone, this 2022 launch also has its downsides.

For instance, the new features such as the KeyFrame have a medium learning curve. They look so easy to use on paper, but the reality on the ground is different.

Another thing is that a drone with such a long distance range does not have a geofencing feature. This can be troublesome for a beginner because the Skydio2 Plus can fly out of sight really fast.

The saving grace is that it has a built-in GPS so you can always bring it back home. There is really no danger of losing the aircraft even if it flies out of sight.

There are other cons that we shall look at later but the pros are still more than the cons. Keep reading to see its features and smart flight functions

This is an exciting adventure drone, but still, you don’t want to buy it without reading about its physical features, its camera, battery and all of its flight functions.
