You see the drone footage at 7:10
Thanks for the review man, really helped I got this drone today and I had a few questions on how it worked, you answered all of them. I subbed
Thank you! Glad I could help!
Pretty cool. Thanks for the infos. Having just purchased this myself I now know I'll try and use it out where the noise won't annoy my neighbors 😄
awesome! Thanks for watching!!
An awesome video, thank you.
Good review Ryan. Seems like Snaptain shipped these out to a bunch of us, all at the same time. I'll be reviewing mine in the upcoming week! Thanks for all your tips in this video, great job! POW!!! 👍👍
Yeah they sure did! Amcrest too. Did you get anything from them? Looking forward to your video!
No, nothing from Amcrest!
Check the "Likely Spam Folder" for your Amcrest drone review. I tried to share a link with you but it probably got marked as spam.
@@DJSOULFORCE I'm really liking Armrest so far. They are actually has based out of Houston.
@@RDsRCReviews excuse me for asking, but, what is the distance range. Thanks.
Great review, sir. You touched on pretty much every question I had. You, sir have earned yourself a new subscriber/fan. I look forward to your future videos. Also! Do you fly FPV as well?
Thanks so much!!!! Seems lately so many comments have been negative so it is refreshing to get a genuine nice comment. Yes I do fly FPV but I haven't in a while.
Don't let negativity bring you down. Seems the whole world is in a negative mindset these days. You're doing a fantastic job.
@@vincentmontez4482 oh I'm used to it by now after doing this for 4 years. Yes, the world has way too much negativity! Thank you again and have a wonderful day!!
Wow that's small glad I check your video! What's the best drone for video under 100? Mine just flew away bc it was so light weight :(
I have one but I’m nervous now to see how fast it takes off
Good show Ryan.
Thanks
I got the snaptain sp600 and personally I like the design on the snaptain sp600 more, but this one has a better camera. Nice video man!
Thanks!
In your video I noticed you can see the drone in the top right/left of the video frame during your flight. Is that something you can adjust? Thanks for the great video and feedback!
Yeah you can manually tilt the camera down a bit to remove the tips of the arms from the camera view.
Like #2 .. great review!
Thanks man!!
Pull that camera out of drone and hang it down by threads. Thats the simplest gimble and would stop the ever jumpy frames.
Hi! Thanks for review. i have some questions that i didn't undarstand. (sorry for english:) 1. when it fly too far and loose connection - it just falls down and may crash? or landing to earth? 2. does it keeps altitude without push buttons? for examle fly for a same meters high and release the buttons - it don't falls? will continue keep the high? 3. so, this camera is more good than not good?) understand, for these price its ok? maybe can reccomend more good drones about same price or its gonna be the best in this category? better than Ryze Tello or DJI TELLO? thank you very much!
Just curious if you watched the video?
How do you aim the camera towards the ground? I’ve got the camera working through the app but I don’t see anything in the manual about controlling the camera to look forward or down
You have to manually tilt it before takeoff. I don't remember it having motorized tilt.
So I was looking at this drone. Have a question. If I am in a remote area with no Wi-Fi and no phone signal can I still fly this drone just using what's provided?
Yeah you connect to the drones WiFi
Can a I fit a JST 2000 mAh (3.7V) in the battery compartment??
I am new to all these electronic gadgets. I just bought the SP 650 to lear how to fly it but, with sno all over where I live, I haven't taken it out. Tell me, is the video or camera real time? Do I need a specific micro card, if so, which one is the best? Thanks.
Yes it is real time but you can record it to the memory card. Any micro sd card should be fine.
Great thanks. The battery icon in the top right hand corner shows 1 red bar. Which battery is it indicating, unit battery, controller or cell phone. Also, when I started the drone (after your input) I could see what the camera was seeing, now I can no longer see it on my phone, am I doing something wrong?
Wait were you using headless mode when you were flying it or you don't need to turn on headless mode if you wanna do 360° spins?
I never ever use headless mode. Why would I need headless mode to do 360 spins. Do you mean 360 flips or 360 yaws?
You didn't use headless mode thanks and I meant 360° flips
@@zackstorm9014 I'm uncertain why you would need headless mode to do a 360 flip. Never heard that before. The drone spike return to facing the same direction after the flip so there's no need for headless mode. I never recommend using headless mode.
Hey man, thanks for the review. Does the drone need to be connected to the internet for it to operate? Thanks!
You're welcome! And no, it just connects to your phone via Wi-Fi to provide the fpv camera view.
@@RDsRCReviews Oh ok. So I can only use it in my backyard? Because I wanna test it at a park.
@@omeedzarabi why would you only use it in your backyard? You can fly it anywhere. The Wi-Fi isn't your home's Wi-Fi. It is a Wi-Fi signal only between the drone and your phone. It has nothing to do with internet access. It is simply a Wi-Fi signal that the drone broadcasts so you can see the fpv video feed.
@@RDsRCReviews Oh ok, got it. Thanks for the clarification!
Do you have to format micro sd? I go to open videos on my computer and it says there is a file error or what ever?
Yes you need to format it FAT32
This drones hard to control. Are you in the Totonto area by chance?
No not even close. Not likely to see an outdoor pool in Toronto. I'm in Illinois USA.
Does the new 2.7K version have a significantly better camera, or does it look about the same? I just ordered one of the new version recently, and if the video footage is as bad as this drone's footage, I will just use the drone for fun but not be able to use its footage in my 4k CZcams videos.
I don't know for sure, I don't have the new 2.7k version but I'm certain it won't look much better. Remember these are toys. The cameras are never going to be great. If you want a drone with a good camera, especially one that is stabilized, the cheapest drone with a decent once is the Bugs 20 or Bugs 12. They both haves EIS with 4k. Otherwise you'll have you look at the Hubsan Zino or Mavic Mini.
@@RDsRCReviews I'm not ready to spend more money on a drone yet. I bought this one mainly for fun. I guess I'll just have to see how good or bad the camera is...
@@JustinDaniels And how was it?
@@ExclusiveMontages good enough to fly in realtime, but not to use the footage
@@JustinDaniels Didn't expect a reply so fast, thanks! And what about the video footage compared to the 1080p version that was presented here? Is it any better or at least not worse?
I got this for Christmas today and I have a question:
Is the camera able to be tilted REMOTELY with the control? Or do you have to manually adjust the tilt before flight?
it's been a long time since I reviewed this but I'm pretty sure you have to manually adjust it. If it is motorized I'd have covered it in this review so give my video a watch.
@@RDsRCReviews Thanks man! Appreciate it. Yeah I don't see any indication that it's remote controllable, either in your video or the included manual but thought I'd ask anyway; sometimes details are overlooked. 👍
@@Steph6n understood! Most toy drones don't have a camera with motorized tilt. One way to see is if push on the camera and your hear the gears and motor sound then it is motorized. If it is silent then it isn't motorized.
@@RDsRCReviews makes sense! 🙂
What camera where you using to record this video
Hawkeye Firefly 8s with external mic
I bought the SP650 a few days ago. Question: when I initially started the
Drone, I could see, on my iPhone, what the camera saw. Now , when I try it again, I cannot....what went wrong. Also, I have three battery icon showing 1 red bar, is this for the controller battery or the drone battery?
That's for the drone battery. Are you connecting to the drone's Wi-Fi first? You gotta do that every time and before you open the app.It sounds to me like you're not connected to the drone's Wi-Fi signal.
Do you know how far away It can get For the Wi-Fi signal to keep working
50m maybe
I accidentally broke a propeller and I don’t know how to re-attach it. Everywhere I ask people just say “read the instructions it tells you how to do it” but it doesn’t. Can you please tell me how to replace a broken propeller with one of the spares
I honestly don't know either. I no longer have this drone. I suspect you have to remove a screw. Isn't their instructions on how to do it on the manual?
It’s not in the manual, you can check for yourself
cdn.richcontext.com/media/3248723061-e8147a3589222b6b48dea854f36388d6.pdf
It’s kinda weird that it’s not, but after 2 hours of scouring the internet I finally found out how to do it and I flew my drone today! 😁 Also a lot of the other questions you answered in the comments helped me as well, so thanks!
@@obi_ozi that's good to hear. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
Thanks looking for a drones
My propellor is not working it either pops out or doesn't take off because one of them is loose how do I fix it?
Sounds like it isn't attached correctly. The instructions should have section on how to remove and attach them.
@@RDsRCReviews maybe I can send you an email on what I'm getting a hold of?
So is there a way to check how high it goes?
No, you'd need a GPS bird to get that info.
Will this drone fly indoors? I want to use this drone to chase birds out of my attic.
Yes but it'll be extremely difficult to maneuver in an attic unless the attic is massive. You'd be much better off getting a small fpv drone and goggles to do this but that also requires a lot more practice and skill.
As soon as i connect the battery one propeller turns on….drone aint even on….when i connect and sync the remote to drone and try to take off none of the propellers work…is that factory defect?
Yeah that sounds defective. It shouldn't do that.
Thnx
Very good for a beginner drone, however the only problem is landing it
Landing smoothly is always a problem with toy drones.
RD's Drone Reviews woah really? Even the phantom 4?
Where can I get the gears for this?
You can't
What is the max height you can fly it at?
Maybe 150m but at that height you'd likely lose it.
$25 coupon available now
That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
How many meters of height can the drone reach?
I'm not sure as I no longer own it but usually you can get 100k but you would not want to fly any little toy drone that high.
Please tell the max range vertically and horizontally
No clue, this drone is old and I no longer own it so I can't answer your question. Sorry
How to bring it down and stop
How far can this drone go?
I'm not sure as I don't typically range test non-GPS drones because they will cut the motors and fall from the sky. If you look at the product listing it should have the max range listed just realize that is under ideal conditions. Don't expect to get the advertised fpv range. I usually only get 150m range on 2.4ghz Wi-Fi.
can you use the drone under cellular data instead of wifi?
Umm, what? No, you can't. The Wi-Fi you are connecting to isn't your home internet Wi-Fi. You are connecting to Wi-Fi coming directly from the drone to your phone that provides the video feed.
@@RDsRCReviews lol thank you I realised later how dumb my question was ahah thank you for your reply
@@MummysLife no you're fine!! Don't feel bad because you are not the first or the last to ask that question lol
@@RDsRCReviews thank you y brain is fried im trying to purchase my first drone so watching as many videos as I can , do you have any to recommend that you have reviewed ? if so can you send me the link please ?
@@MummysLife what's your budget? My channel is a good resource for toy and beginner drones. All my videos include a purchase link in the video description so if you use that link it helps support my channel.
What's the app you download? Thank you
Had you watched the video you would have seen I showed the app at the 2:38 mark. I had to go watch my video to find the app's name. Took me 30 secs so no big deal but you could have done the same and saved us both time. :) sorry for venting but I spend a lot of time making these videos and then people don't want to actually watch the video for answers and instead ask questions that I answered in the video. Ugh
@@RDsRCReviews my apologies! That must have been a problem because you just wrote me a paragraph. I did miss that part of your video why I have no clue but I did watch the whole thing. Thank you anyways have a good day
Snaptain? I just got the SP650 can't even register it! The website is totally messed up
What county are you in? In the USA you do not need to register it since it weighs much less than 250g. I just weighed it without the landing gear it is only 132g. Hope this helps
@@RDsRCReviews Yes, USA! I have the landing gear and the blade guards on. It's my first drone. So I have no clue how much it weighs.
@@piperlynn9060 you are good to go! No need to register it so go fly it and no worries! Even the new FAA laws, if they go into effect as-is, won't effect the sp650.
Can you do a hotspot on your phone as the wifi?
Do you mean you want to rebroadcast the Wi-Fi from the drone? Why would you want to do that? The Wi-Fi signal comes from the drone and multiple devices can all connect to the drone at the same time. Don't confuse this with Wi-Fi internet. You don't need to be connected to Wi-Fi internet. You just connect to the Wi-Fi signal from the drone so the app can get a fpv feed
RD's Drone Reviews ok. I was just confused about the WiFi. Thanks
@@Silent-G no problem! Thanks for asking!
RD's Drone Reviews got mine today, can’t wait to try it out!
@@Silent-G awesome! You'll like it!
mine takes off in 1 second and crashes in two seconds
Check that all the props are installed correctly. If one is on the wrong motor it'll cause it to flip and crash instantly. Also try calibrating the gyro. Make sure all the motors spin up and spin freely and that none of the motors are jammed.
@@RDsRCReviews you are amazing! Great!
@@1988sawa thank you!!
no gps hold?
No this isn't a GPS drone
What memory card should I use?
Pretty much any card will be fine as this isn't going to record at a high enough bitrate to worry but if you wanna be safe then any class 10 card will be more than enough.
@@RDsRCReviews Will the video be significantly better quality?
@@dalesimpson2805 no, the sdcard will have no effect on the quality unless you have a very high quality camera then if the card isn't fast enough the video will become blocky and drop frames. The SP650's camera is toy grade so it will make no difference.
@@RDsRCReviews Thanks for the help

Yo estoy buscando tutorial de como conectarlo, me compre uno y es es primero que compro y no se como usarlo 😅
Will it not set still?
Huh?
@@RDsRCReviews is it that bad?
@@CMGOUTDOORSADVENTURES I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about. You need to be more specific. I don't recall saying it was bad.
Sorry didn't watch whole video but was asking does it have any optical flow or anything to make it hover in one place?
@@CMGOUTDOORSADVENTURES no it does not. You are much better off spending a bit more on a brushless drone with GPS. Check out my recent videos for some good recommendations.
Nice video quality but its not steady at all...
Combien il pèse stp reprend t’es le meilleur
Sorry, English please
I wrecked mine the first day I got it.. it floated to the tree, and did not want to pull back, it wasn't even far, not even windy. Control is bull shit!
Could be the wind. These little brushed drones can't handle any wind.
@@RDsRCReviews There was no wind... I wanted it to hover, but it kept creeping to the trees, tried moving away, but it was a stubborn little shit, just off my porch! Anyway, I see another drone that cost less and have higher ratings.
@@striderforeva sounds like it needed trimmed then.
@@striderforeva or it needed a gyro calibration.
@@striderforeva which one ?
Wish he wouldn't waffle on and on
I do like me some waffles :)
Why did film your video in silhouette mode? Geeze
What? I have no clue what you're talking about.
There's no silhouette mode on my firefly 8s and you make no sense I'm not filming a silhouette of anything but it may have been dark because of shadows which isn't a big deal.
@@RDsRCReviews I know, right? Gheesh!
This thing looks like garbage... the wind is not even moving the tree limbs!!
Keep in mind is is very small and lightweights and has brushed motors so any drone like this will struggle in even light wind. Even the Mavic Mini with brushless motors struggles mightily in decent wind.
