Review on Striker-X HD Camera Drone: High-Quality Picture/Video RC Quadcopter with 2.4GHz Remote Control, Red/White, 12 x 12 x 2.75 inches by Luis Neels

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The controls were unresponsive and the drone was lost within minutes of its first flight.

The overall look of the drone is decent and it's larger than other drones in its price range. The battery compartment and remote control feel a little cheap and left me wanting more. I let the drone's battery charge overnight to ensure there would be no problems. The day we flew it there was no wind and a clear sky. The drone was fairly easy to pair with the remote controller after a quick look at the instructions. We raised the drone in less than 5 minutes. The drone lifted off the ground and began to climb into the air. With the controller, the drone only wanted to move left or right, but did not respond to any other controls. We tried to land the drone but there were no further responses from her. At some point the drone rose too high in the air and the remote control stopped responding. At this point we could only watch as the drone continued to climb. After about a minute the drone was no longer visible and I exited the drone. The lesson I learned from this was to add a "leash" to your drone so you can recover if problems like this occur.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
