ZLRC SG901 Yue 4K Folding Camera Drone Flight Test Review



This folding beginner’s camera drone can fly well over 16 minutes on a battery charge. Find it here and use coupon 3MSMNVZK (NO BAG INCLUDED WITH ONE BATTERY VERSION) http://bit.ly/SG901-1Batt, or get 3 battery version with bag included here (use coupon 3O6RRACQ) http://bit.ly/3Batt-SG901

Pros
– Folding drone for portability.
– Lightweight at 214 grams with battery. May not require registration in some countries.
– I was in error stating that this drone records 2K video. It actually records and saves 1080p video and 4K (4096 x 3072 pixel) photos. Camera lens can be manually pointed up ro down before flight.
– Optical flow sensor automatically hovers the drone without pilot input.
– Altitude hold, headless mode, and one key return.
– 3.7V 2200mah battery provides over 16 minutes flight time.
– FPV video can be viewed, and video recorded directly to your phone using common 2.4Ghz WiFi. 5G WiFi is not required by this drone.
– HFUN app (http://bit.ly/HFUN-Android , http://bit.ly/HFUN-iOS) provides ability to view and record video. Additionally provides advanced features of follow me, waypoints, and gesture control of camera.

Cons
– Brushed motors will wear out eventually.
– No SD card recording capability. Instead video and photo files are recorded directly to your phone via WiFi, with usual WiFi limitations of lag, and dropped or frozen frames.
– HFUN app was very buggy with this drone. App crashed on me several times when video recording was activated.
– Could not get follow me feature to work properly with this drone.

  1. What a piece of garbage. Nice Jello video. Good luck finding extra batteries for all these Junk "toy grade" and even internediate drones that use "proprietary" batteries (which means a cheap LiPO in a "special" enclosure). They come with only one battery and maybe that's OK because they'll only last a couple flights.

  2. Chinese are notorious for basically lying about the technical specifications. Again, save your money for a Spark. The DJI products have never once failed on me. Absolutely spot on with spec's and it's reliability. That's worth a lot to me.

  3. nice video, I seen them a lot on different web sites for sell cheap. for a newbie would be just fine. Thank you 101 always a nice one to see you.

  4. I'm happy to see you haven't changed since I first found your channel, you got me into drones and I have purchased a few that I've seen showing up on the channel.

    Keep it up!

  5. Good Morning!!! Great video, thanks for sharing with us, best regards!!! What's new on my channel? A video with the Volantex 757-3 … every new flight with this model is still a big challenge for me… when we believe everything went wrong, here comes Murphy's Law: "Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. wrong at the worst possible time "… Can anyone help me understand what happened and how to solve with the model in the air, perhaps from miles away? I was able to land the model without damage… you are always welcome!!!

  6. Great video Quadcopter101. Hope you can do a review of the SG907 soon. I'm mainly interested if it has an on-board SD card slot, info I can't get anywhere else I guess due to it being so new

  7. It drives me crazy when these cheap manufacturers class there poor quality cameras and bidet o quality as 2k or 4k when they are barely 1080p, they should be ashamed as newbies full for it and buy the rubbish drones thinking they are camera birds..

  8. I have a similar drone that use the same app but it is not showing wifi on my phone so I can't use the camera and the drone lights flashes when it's connected to the controller and at full charge.

  9. I’m trying to find a 4K camera drone but not spend a sale much as a Mavic or phantom do you have any suggestions? Do you recommend the hubsan zino?
