Review on 🚁 Air Hogs Helix Sentinel FPV HD 720p Video Drone - WiFi Capable with 4GB Micro SD Card by Juan Gomez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am shocked that this is a vehicle and parts with remote control and apps

I am pleased that this is an Airhogs product. Not to say Airhogs are bad, but they usually stay pretty basic. Drone Sentinal is in a new league. FPV is a bit of a gimmick, you can stream to two phones so it's good if you want someone to steer and someone just uses a headset to watch. I say that because there is one thing missing from this drone - GPS hold (wind causes some drift). Aside from that, it has auto takeoff and auto landing, altitude lock that works incredibly, and collision sensors for lower speeds. I flew their Helix quad and while it was stable and solid it wasn't as responsive as I would like (I think the weight is too much and the propellers are too small). The Sentinal features large, solid propellers and motors powerful enough to make this drone very responsive to flight adjustments. The plastic on this drone is really flexible and looks like it could potentially take a crash. Air Eaters really did everything with this drone, down to the smallest details like the mini USB charging port so you can charge it from a wall outlet. The only downside is that the battery takes a long time to charge, you can't swap it out, and you only get about 8 minutes of flight time. However, this is a good 8 minute flight time (which I would expect from a much more expensive drone).

Pros
  • Toys and Games
Cons
  • Long delivery time
