Good Budget Drone – App Controlled Vehicles & Parts

Not quite sure what to expect in this price range as I don't have much experience with budget options. What surprised me: foldable drone, 2 batteries, 4 support protectors, charging cable, some parts with 2+2 supports (remember that there is A and B, so it's not the same where you put them). , screws and a screwdriver, all a small manual, all hidden in a carrying case with a foam insert. In terms of the price range, I was impressed with the quality of some parts (like the drone itself and the propellers) but not so much with the batteries and housing - although they tick all the boxes for the price range. I was a little surprised that it didn't come in some sort of box. It actually comes in a carrying case which has a little label on the back with the name of the product so Revain knows what they are shipping :) For example it mentions that the charger has a flashing red light but no charger is powered. I tried a different cable first, but the battery didn't have an indicator if it was even charging, so I tried the cable that came with it, only to find out that the red indicator was actually built into the USB-A port of the charging cable . As previously mentioned, it stays red solid while charging and turns off when charging stops. Batteries last 5-10 minutes depending on usage. When you record videos, the battery lasts less. In the end I am satisfied with the drone. Be careful as it is very light and even the lightest wind will toss it back and forth. Watch out for obstacles as it will have trouble maintaining position/altitude if air is circulating around it. This includes "returning a key" if it went against the actual "base". Think of the headless and headless modes. I've found that headless isn't the case at all and you always have to compensate, although I've mostly used headless in any case where the left/right or forward/backward movement is based on the drone's body/axes , and Headless is when the controls compare the drone's position to your position/controller position, which is a bit cumbersome but might be easier for beginners. Someone mentioned a cheap controller and didn't trust it to hold an expensive phone. I agree and tried my old iPhone SE first and found this to be my biggest disappointment as the iOS app is by far my biggest complaint. It's too confusing, often gets stuck on some options and requires a reboot, and on most options it complains that the phone isn't powerful enough?! I struggled to get it to actually take photos or video. It initially made a shutter sound, but didn't take any pictures or display a live image on the screen. I'm not sure what the problem was, but it suddenly worked. There was some lag and freezes, but I was able to get some good shots and video clips. As mentioned, don't expect great quality, but if you consider this a good toy and an entry-level drone, it does a good job. Too bad I couldn't test any of these fancy features due to app restrictions e.g. B. following you while making loops, recognizing gestures or filling out a flight plan. I'll try this with a 'more powerful' phone and see if that changes anything.

Pros
