4DRC F11 PRO

4DRC F11 PRO Review

The 4DRC F11 drone has many things going for it. First, it has a long flight range, so if you do the full distance, it will certainly get out of sight. However, don’t worry about that because it has safety functions. With GPS positioning, you will always know where it is. It also has automatic return to home on battery down or signal loss.

Enabled with dual positioning capability, it hovers very well indoors and outdoors. This drone is equipped with optical flow positioning and GPS positioning. If you are buying the quadcopter for aerial photography, you will appreciate having these two functions because they enable stable hovering.

You can opt to get the F11 with one, two or three batteries at different prices. Many people want at least two batteries to increase their flight and fun time. If you want extended fun, get the three-battery package.

There is no doubt about the flying prowess of the aircraft. However, like many people, you might be disappointed in the fact that the drone does not have a three-axis gimbal, which might affect the quality of your footage.

Another thing that you might want to be aware of is that the user manual seems to be poorly translated to English.

Cheerwing U88S

Cheerwing U88S Drone Review

If you have never flown a drone before and you would like a starter into the hobby, you might consider the Cheerwing U88S quadcopter. It has some cool features such as the 4K camera, two batteries and others. You can learn how to fly and at the same time, learn how to take good aerial footage.

The reason for recommending this quadcopter for a beginner is that it has no learning curve at all. Okay, the user manual is a little hard to decipher, but once you get the hang of it, you can do the set up fast. Since the quadcopter comes pre-assembled, you just need to charge the battery (it comes with two) and start flying it.

This quad looks like it is good value for money. However, it still has some downsides that you should be aware of before you order it.

One of them is that it is not foldable by design. Thus, it is bulky, something that the under-nose attachment of the camera seems to exacerbate. Measuring 8.26 by 8.26 by 5.44 inches, it will consume a considerable amount of space in your backpack when traveling.

Read on to see the other features that this aircraft comes with to see whether it will be a good fit for your needs.

HR i4 PRO

HR i4 PRO Review

Occasionally, you will find a good, feature-rich affordable drone to get into your drone hobby or to upgrade to from a small mini drone. The HR i4 PRO mini is one such drone.

When choosing a recreational drone, get a good one. That way, you won’t have to upgrade soon. In the USA, there were almost 2 million registered drones by January 2021. Almost three-quarter of these were recreational models. If you do not have one, you are missing great fun. You can start with a mini drone such as the HR i4 Pro.

It comes with one, two or three batteries. Although it costs more, it is recommended that you get the package with three batteries to enjoy a longer flight time. If you are pressed for money, you can get the one-battery package.

You can also choose between the black and white colors. The nice LED lights at the top of the head make the quadcopter look so stunning.

This is a good camera drone, with good features and flight functions. There is a downside though because this drone is not sold with a carry bag. You might have to get one separately to make it easier to pack the aircraft for traveling.

Autel EVO Nano Plus

Autel EVO Nano+ Review

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.

SMRC icat8

Skydio2+ Review

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.
