Review on YKRC Quadcopter Beginners Headless Batteries by Donna Marshall

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Affordable Multi-Function Quadcopter

The price of this product makes it clear that this is not a DJI-level drone, but you can't buy much else for less than $100. It comes with a matching remote control that connects to the app on your phone to view the flight in real time. It takes a few laps to get comfortable and figure out how to calibrate the drone, and the app could be more user-friendly, but at this price point it's still a very good deal. It comes with 2 batteries for longer flight times and is amazingly durable. I accidentally crashed into a branch about 30 feet up and the fall surprisingly didn't damage the drone. Check it out for sure! EDIT: Had to send the drone back. The battery was bursting at the seams for the first week and it's almost impossible to calibrate the thing.

Pros
  • Adults and children can ride, they all can control the S171 drone well, just press the one-click launch button to start; Altitude hold can keep the drone at a certain height, and optical flow positioning makes the drone more stable.
Cons
  • Requires power outlet
