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.

SMRC icat8 Review

SMRC usually offer their drone models with a good number of options. For instance, with the SMRC icat8, you can choose to buy it with one, two or three batteries, of course at different prices. You can also choose to buy it in black, silver or orange color.

This is the complete package since it also comes with a carry bag. If you order the package with two or three batteries, you will never need to buy anything else.

If you are an aerial shooting enthusiast, this drone might help you since SMRC says it comes with an 8K ESC HD camera. However, there is no way to verify this resolution. In the past, we did a review of the Autel EVO 2, which also comes with an 8K camera. It has a video resolution of 7680 x 4320P and a photo resolution of 8000 x 6000.

There are so many other good things going for this drone and it does cost a substantial amount of money. One downside though is that it does not come with a built-in rechargeable battery for the remote controller.

For the money you will pay and with the advanced features that the icat8 comes with, using 4 AAA batteries for the remote controller feels like a letdown.

Keep reading to see the other features that this quadcopter comes with, as well as its design and build quality.

Tucok 011 Drone

Tucok 011 Review

The Tucok 011 comes with a remote controller that has an LCD display. It also comes with brushless motors and level 5-wind resistance. If you would like an advanced drone to get you into the flying hobby and you do not want to spend a lot of money on popular names such as DJI, get this one.

Besides, the overall control range for this drone is quite long. Even if you are an advanced drone pilot, you will find the 011 very exciting and you probably won’t outgrow it, unless you want a racing drone. As your aerial camera of choice, you will find that it can capture stunning footage, all conditions being right.

There is a small downside to be aware of. For instance, it has a laser camera for obstacle avoidance. However, you have to install it by following the instructions in the user manual. This is a small bother, but some people find it confusing.

Keep reading as we look at the features and flight functions of the Tucok drone.

Holy Stone HS360

Holy Stone HS360 Review

In this Holy Stone HS360 drone review, you will see the features and flight function of this drone, before you can buy it.

Since 2014, Holy Stone has been making cheap consumer drones that have been revolutionizing the way we take aerial footage.

Today, we can say that HS plays in almost the same league as DJI and Potensic. Buying a drone from a good brand name gives you confidence that you are getting a good item, because they have a reputation to protect.

Are there any downsides that you should be aware of before buying? Not really. There have been complaints that it is a bit challenging to connect an iPhone with the drone because the smartphone holder does not seem to hold iPhones very well. However, this seems to be an isolated case.
