Review on Ruko 4k Camera Drones for Adults: 40 Mins Flight Time, Foldable GPS FPV Drones with Live Video, Follow Me, Auto Return Home, and Carrying Case by Michael Radhakrishnan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive - lacks image stabilization

For starters, this drone comes with two batteries and standard USB-C charging cables, making it very versatile. For an entry-level system, it's packed with features you'd see on a more expensive system. It also comes with a very nice zipped hard case to keep everything neatly tucked away. It also has extra propellers in case they get damaged. The lack of an on-screen display for the controls isn't a huge problem as all the controls are displayed on the phone's screen when connected. As far as ease of use goes, I find it a bit frustrating having to calibrate it every time I use it. Calibration seemed to take less time after the first one, so hopefully it will become a chore over time. The drone connects to the phone very quickly, which allows you to start flying quickly. This drone doesn't have a hard protective housing for a storage chamber, but appears to be recessed enough to provide adequate protection from a collision with it. I was expecting slightly better stabilization in terms of wind rating and video quality. The drone seemed to move a bit in a 5mph wind. Video quality was also pretty shaky, but it's decent for an entry-level model. Overall, the photo quality was better than expected, even though the drone was moving heavily in the wind. I had a little trouble changing and saving the settings, but in the end I was able to change the default flight altitude and distance to the maximum. The return home function is a lifesaver and kicks in when the battery is low. This is also a useful feature if the drone is leaving your area and you are having trouble visualizing it. Just click "Return Home" and she'll return to your area, and you can then turn her off if you want to keep flying. . One weird issue I have is that when I then charge the controller it makes a loud steady noise when it reaches full charge. I'm not sure why this is happening, but if it is, you'll need to be nearby to quickly turn it off for the sound to stop. I have another problem with photos and videos. There are buttons for taking photos and making videos on the control panel, but I find them unreliable. The video was never recorded and was only taken once out of four shots. I resorted to the icons on the phone's display to take pictures and videos. Also I would recommend using an SD card for storage so you can take it out and transfer the files to share as this wasn't easy as I couldn't save the videos on my phone to my gallery instead they just were available in the drone app gallery and could not be shared from there. Maybe play with it a few more days and I'll clear up some of these things, but for now I'd say there might be a few flaws that need ironing out before it's considered reliable, but overall it's a good drone for the price .
