Tianqu Visuo XS816 Long Flying Optical Tracking FPV Camera Drone Flight Test Review



This inexpensive flier is one of the longest flying FPV camera drones in its price range. Find it here https://goo.gl/pw5hPn

Pros
– Optical flow sensor automatically maintains a steady hover position without pilot input. Enables you to focus on taking video and photos instead of overly concentrating on flying the drone.
– 720p HD camera that records directly to your phone via common 2.4Ghz WiFi.
– Available with optional carrying case, or with one, two, or three batteries.
– 3.85V 1800mah LiHV battery provides up to 20 minutes of flight time.
– Video may be viewed and recorded to your phone via the XS Visual app available on Google Play here https://goo.gl/jBWGi6 and iTunes here https://goo.gl/cmk38S. The app also enables camera special effects and advanced flight modes of optical tracking, waypoints, and hand gesture control.

Cons
– Video can only be recorded to your phone via WiFi. There is no capability to record to a memory card. The drone’s SD card slot is empty without a DVR.
– The apps advanced flight modes did not seem to work very well.

  1. What's the difference between this and the XS809S (which should be the upgraded and, I think, better version of XS809HW)? Can't decide between the two…

  3. Nice Review QC101 Love this Range of CheapToy Quads, I Liked the WiFi 720 version , Now this new one in the staple of Visuo., XS816 Upgrade Cam/Upgraded Batteries/Upgraded App/Upgraded Alt Hold. BUT BUT these guys have lost he plot ?? NOT inc SD Slot Arghhh LOL . Its A SELFIE Drone ??? ( Is it to scrounge more Battery life ) Makes No Sense at all. ?? Shame.

  4. Even though I'm not that keen on the camera … or the fact there's no microSD card slot on the drone, I've got to say that £65.00GBP for the drone, 3 batteries and a bag is good value. Great flight time too. Another good review Q101 🙂

  5. Hey QC…I think you are a very good reviewer. But…there is one thing you do that bugs me. In the interest of constructiveness…when you first launch a drone…the first thing you do is see if it holds position. And that is great. Here is the problem…While the drone maybe holding position very well…you immediately start walking in a circle to get in front of the camera. When you start walking around with the camera focused on the drone, it appears that the drone is NOT holding position. So maybe let it hover for 10 seconds or so, before you walk in a circle to get in front of the camera. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

  6. Hello u are my hero and I was wondering if u would be able to send me a Drone cause I have always wanted one and it's my b day u probably will say no or ignore me but pls could u
