Review on 🚁 PowerEgg X Wizard: The Ultimate Waterproof Drone for Inclement Weather & Water Sports Photography at 4K/60FPS by Shane Solorzano

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite what I was hoping for :(

The main problem with this product is the camera which mainly uses 4k@60f/s and 4k@30f/s. It takes between 30 and 90 seconds on seconds and off, but the controller still shows it was recorded. Every setting in 1080 mode worked throughout the flight. After the last firmware update, the recording time is now in 4k at 30fps and 4k at 60fps reduced to 6-9 seconds recording time before shut down.Last firmware update included numerous 50fps choices.So far I've had 4k@25fps working and the outside temp of the 20 minute flight below 30 degrees F. Auto start works good, climbs to 4-5ft and hover in place for a full test charge Manual launch and take off works fine and have not had any issues with the Gateway Hom functioning so far e (RTH) after 30 flights. As long as it can handle good winds, 20 to 25 mph. My range so far (based on flying in open field with no WiFi interference) is about 2 miles with some glitches. The waterproof kit seems to be working well so far, having only been flown in a couple of blizzards with landings and takeoffs in loose snow. The drone is very sensitive to the controller. Hopefully when the new firmware comes out things will get better and closer to what they promise.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • So-so
