Contixo F24 Features & Technical Details

Design and build quality

Durability is one of the features that drone buyers consider all the time. It means that when you buy the drone, you can have it for a long time. After all, no one wishes to spend their hard-earned money on a drone that will burst open on the first crash. Thankfully, the Contixo F24 has been designed with longevity in mind.

Usually, one of the first things to give up in drones is the motors. When they go burst, that is mostly the end of the drone. And that is why you should be happy with the Contixo F24 because it has brushless motors. They are quiet and they last a long time, requiring minimal care and maintenance.

This is a small drone. It is foldable! It measures 7 inches by 4 inches when folded. Unfolded, it measures 11 inches by 10 inches and it comes with a carry case that measures 11 inches by 8.5 inches. It is a small case, but it is enough to fit all the accessories that the drone comes with.

Camera

You will get a 1080P HD video camera, which is good enough. You will also be happy that you can manually adjust the angle of the camera so that it takes shots at the best angle. You have 90 degrees of up and down adjustability. In addition, the wide field of view ensures that you capture plenty of background for your videos.

You also get to enjoy first person view with this drone. If this is your first drone ever, just know that first person view is where you get to see what the drone can see, just as you would if you were flying inside the drone. To enjoy real-time video transmission, you will have to connect your phone to the remote controller. Without any obstacles in the path of the drone, you can enjoy real-time video transmission for up to 1800 feet.

You can store the footage that you capture in your smartphone, or you can buy an SD card as the drone has a slot for one.

Another feature that goes hand-in-hand with the camera is the Hand Gesture or selfie mode. You just have to use the drone in a well-lit area and then wave at the camera and it will take your selfies. Using the Contixo app, you can share the photos and videos immediately with your family and friends on social media.

Intelligent battery

The Contixo F24 uses a smart battery. It is a 7.4V 2500mAh Lithium-polymer battery, with LED lights that can show you how far spent the battery is. The maximum flight time that you can get from this battery is 30 minutes. If there is some wind, you can get 25 minutes or thereabouts.

Draw your flight path

When you have downloaded and opened the app in your smartphone, you can draw a flight plan on the app. When you launch the drone, it will fly almost hands-free, following that path. Also called waypoint, this is a fun feature.

Follow Me Mode

This is one of the most important features, which has become the standard in all drones. It is great for people that love outdoor adventures where they can have the drone follow them while they do their fun stuff. With such a feature, you can take your drone for a road trip, mountain biking, skiing, hiking and other adventures.

Auto return feature

Mainly, this is a safety feature. It helps bring the drone back home if it should lose connection with the remote controller or if the battery should drain mid-flight.

The Contixo F24 also has auto takeoff and landing, as well as headless mode. These beginner features make the drone easy to use for everyone. For example, with headless mode, you need not worry about where the nose of the drone faces. Auto takeoff and landing means that the drone can launch or land at the punch of the button on the remote controller.

Remote controller and carry case

There is really not much to say about the remote controller of the Contixo F24. It is nicely designed, fits snugly in the hands. It has a retractable hold for your smartphone for real-time video transmission.

You will love the carry case. It can help protect your drone from the impact of a fall. It helps keep the drone safe when you store it. For traveling, you will be able to pack the drone and all of its accessories in this case. It bears the Contixo logo proudly, so it will be hard to confuse it with anything else.
