DJI Mini SE Review

Having come to the US market in August 2021, the DJI Mini SE is the newest addition to the collection of small hobby drones in the DJI stable.

It is also the cheapest! However, if the hubbub in the market is anything to go by, there is some controversy surrounding the Mini SE.

Some pundits say that you are better off going for the older DJI Mini 2, which was released in November 2020. They argue that the Mini SE is built on the older 2019 technology that the Mavic Mini ran on. The only thing that seems to be an improvement on the Mavic Mini is the slightly higher wind resistance.

Here, we believe that we should judge every quadcopter on its own merits. Read the whole review to see the features and the flight modes. You can then decide whether it is the real deal for you.

Even before we get to the features, we like to highlight some downsides. Honestly, there aren’t that many, except perhaps that the package does not come with propeller guards, so a crash could send you to the stores to buy new blades.

There have been cases of users complaining about the Mini SE not responding to controller commands. The good thing is that if the signal is lost, it automatically initiates the return-to-home routine.

NiGHT LiONS TECH B193 Max Review

Drones that come with obstacle avoidance cameras or sensors are usually too expensive. However, the NiGHT LiONS TECH B193 Max seems to veer from the expensive to the more affordable path.

The manufacturer says that the obstacle avoidance camera can detect obstacles as far as 20 meters away to avoid collisions. In this review article, we will find out whether that is true. We will also find out the other features that the quadcopter comes with.

When you buy a drone, you want it to have as many features as possible. However, the main ones include a good camera, a long lasting flight time and the design and build quality.

Thus, in the upcoming section, we shall look at all these. We shall also see the pros and cons of this quadcopter.

Before you buy the B193 Max, you need to be aware of something. Many users say that when the battery runs low, the drone starts to disobey commands. Thus, it is better to bring it home before the battery gets too low.

Holy Stone HS700E Review

The Holy Stone HS700E drone comes with a good number of features and flight modes for this price bracket. Thus, if you need an adult GPS drone with long distance flight range and incredible flight time, you might want the HS700E.

Like all the other Holy Stone drones that we have reviewed here, you will appreciate the workmanship that has gone into this quadcopter. Everything, from the nicely padded storage/transport case to the click-in-place propellers shows how much this drone maker cares about quality.

Are there any downsides to look forward to? Well, first, some people complain that the drone is overpriced. Actually, Holy Stone drones cost more than most of their counterparts in the market. However, if the features justify the price, it is not too high.

Another thing that you might be wary of is that the propellers slide into place but the drone does not come with propeller guards. Thus, they can easily slide off (as some people have complained) and if you crash it, the propellers are unguarded, so they can sustain damage.

It is not all bad though, as you will see in the upcoming sections of this review.
