This relatively inexpensive GPS drone includes brushless motors and a 1080p HD camera. Also comes with a very nice carrying case. Find it here http://bit.ly/FunskyDrone
Pros
– Includes a briefcase style foam carrying case for the drone and its accessories.
– GPS/GLONASS drone with true return to home and landing capability on command, loss of signal, and low battery.
– Brushless 1306 2700KV motors.
– 1080p full HD camera with micro SD card recording.
– FPV video may be viewed via the Heliway app available on Google Play here http://bit.ly/2GziHpJ and iTunes here https://apple.co/2GzkZFb
– Drone’s 7.7V 1500mah LiHV battery provides 10 to 15 minutes flight time, time depending on how aggressive that you fly the drone. Hovering or slow flight provides longer flight time.
Cons
– Although it has SD card recording capability, you still may see some frame dropping in the recorded video. I was using a Class 10 SD card, so I’m not sure what was causing the problem?
– App requires a phone with 802.11ac WiFi. Not everyone has such WiFi on their phone. Before purchasing, strongly recommend that you verify that your phone has 802.11ac WiFi capability.
– Controller may be set to Mode 1 by default. Strongly recommend that you do a manual takeoff for your first flight to verify which stick the throttle is set to. Fortunately the modes can be switched if desired.
– Very important to do both compass calibration and IMU calibration before your first flight. If you forget to do such, your first flight may be memorable.

IT'S A FUNSKY PRONOUNCED FUN SKI NOT FUN SKY LOL
Nice vid
Its OK, but I dont like how it just lands on low battery where its at… Doesn't have fail safe which is a simple feature implemented into the even cheaper toy brushed GPS quadcopter these days
CON: Proprietary battery from a brand you can barely find anywhere? No fun when you need replacements.
quality pretty disappointing
Sorry WiFi repeater
Can pair to WiFi see if get better range and less frame drops
Cool quad, shame a shame the camera and recording quality was so poor..
Quad 101 you sold this drone out like a Boss! I am on a waiting list as of 4/26
only 7 units left on this link. none yellow. looks pretty cool, all these new gps drones make me wanna add one with my bugs 5W.
Nice demo thanks for sharing. A little over 200 bucks canadian, after taxes, have to pass on that one, however is it under 250 grams which is good. Happy Flying
Its kinda cool but I would need to paint it old school racing plane style, do not like banana yello
So far I was not able to do a full compass calibration on mine, always couldn't finish the vertical successfully. (Btw, it's not the Helieay app, but the Heliway GPS app). Thanks for an informative video.
If it doesn't follow me it is not for me if you follow me.
Still putting out awesome videos after all these years….in 2015 i got a Syma X11 cuz of your video ..
I was crazy to buy it, but the image quality doesn't seem to be good.
I'll keep checking the newer reviews to see if there is any update that improves that.
The rest is more than Ok for me.
Would it have returned to home on low battery if it had been in GPS mode? Just curious whether it did an auto-land because it was in ATTI mode or if it would have done that regardless of mode.
Kind of an odd drone design in that I’m not sure who the target audience is. It’s on the pricey side for a knock-about fun-fly drone. Would need at least remote camera tilt control and improved recording hardware to be a decent camera drone; a gimbal would be even better, albeit more expensive. That said, the hybrid Spark/Tello style with aggressive props is a nice look, and if they use it for an improved version that resolves the weaknesses of this one, they might have a real winner. ?
Not a bad drone for what you get if they could get rid of the frame skipping they might have something. Not the best camera but not the worst either. Nice review. ?
Disappointing for $140. Good review though.
Looks like a poor man's DJI Spark.
This gps quad is almost good. It’s nice that it’s brushless and under 250g ie. no registration. If dropped frames issues on record to SD card could be resolved it would be GOOD. I see it as a competitor to the Tello and the garbage Zerotech Dobby.
Thanks for sharing …..that was definitely a nice flight…great flyer….It would've been nice if they could use 4g wifi to operate this quad….thanks for sharing the info!!!
What a weird quad! Looks like someone wanted to clone the Spark and midway through decided to take some inspiration from FPV racers instead. Just look at those props! Suuuper aggressive!
Nice review. Have you any info on a spare battery link for it? Would be nice to take this along on camping trips.
I dont subscribe because u don't reply
Such a good flier for such a small drone.
Nice thorough review video, thanks ?cool all in one set up.
What a interesting video my friend~!???
It looks nice, but I honestly think you could do better just building a small FPV brushless quadcopter. Even for beginners, there is so much help available on Reddit and YouTube to get you started
Good Morning nice review of a nice flyer ?… looks good cool..?…
Nice unit. Like it! ????✔??
What good is onboard SD card when you get drops and glitches anyway.
wow paliit ng paliit mga drone ngayon new one drone like Micro drone 4.0!
It is like dji spark guys
Cool
What is better tello or that drone? Also it looks like a baby spark!
