- This folding drone does not require registration in most countries. Its accurate GPS system should help make it a good safe drone for beginner pilots. Find it here bit.ly/L900-Drone
Pros
- Folding drone with carrying case options for portability. Available in black, gray, and orange models.
- Weighs less than 250 grams, and does not require registration in most countries.
- Accurate and dependable GPS system for safe flying by new pilots. Drone will automatically return to home and land on command, loss of signal, and low voltage.
- Optical flow system can provide stable hover for indoor flying.
- Brushless motors for improved durability as compared to brushed motors.
- 7.4V 2200mah battery can provide up to 28 minutes of flight per charge (I got approximately 13 minutes on a cold day).
- FPV video capability. Real time video from the drone can be viewed and recorded (1080p @25fps) on your phone via WiFi and the "HFun Pro" or "HFun Fly" apps (I used HFun Fly as HFun Pro would not record video with my phone).
- Advanced flight control modes available through the app include follow me, orbit position, and waypoints. All worked as advertised when using the HFun Fly app.
- Controller's LCD screen provides telemetry information including signal strength, GPS status, drone and controller battery power, drone height and distance.
Cons
- The app requires use of a phone with 802.11ac WiFi. Before purchasing, use Google to verify that your phone does indeed have 802.11ac WiFi (not everybody has such on their phone).
- There's always room for video J-E-L-L-O, and plenty of it. Keep in mind that this is a beginner's drone, and its camera is not going to be good at this price range.
- No SD card recording capability. Video and photos are recorded directly to your phone over WiFi, with inherent WiFi limitations. In this case, video recordings would stop and restart when the WiFi signal was weak.
- Advertised with 4K capability. In reality, videos are recorded to your phone in 1080p resolution only. Video frame grab photos are interpolated (electronically enlarged) from 1080p by the app to be recorded on your phone at 4K resolution (or 6K if using the HFun Fly app). But these photos have no improved image quality over the original 1080p still photos, and are advertised as 4K (or 6K) only as a marketing ploy.

Although the camera's not the best, this is a good safe drone for beginner fliers with a dependable GPS (remember to do the compass calibration). *Find it here* bit.ly/L900-Drone
Did you have stabilization on in the app? Better turn it off. I've seen this drone without the jello.
Nope, it was off. It may have something to do with the overcast day?
And I've seen that video too. Take a closer look, as that video had been edited for stabilization. Notice the blurred look in the main portion, and the jerky movements near the outer edge of the frame in the other video.
@@Quadcopter101 I think this L900 is much the same on the inside as my L108(SG108). But the L108 is very well made. I feels premium. The camera is not that good either. Quite blurry. But no jello. And that perhaps is the difference. You can have the best camera you want, but if the drone is a bit flexible the video will suffer.
Still, I like this L900 actually. It works! As does my L018. At first I thought it was a waste money. Poor video, short range. But I started to like it. A nice small drone to fly around a bit. It's not always about shooting video.
@@Quadcopter101 I guess you're right. Hopefully there will be pro version with a gimbal or EIS. I think the L900 and L108/SG108 derserve it.
I have to be dead honest here I've been watching you for about 8 years now and you taught me how to fly drones properly hats 🧢 off to you
Same here, since 2014. QC101 made learning to fly quads much easier.
The guy who got me into building drones, still going strong. Good to see, keep strong through 2020
What's the best cheapish gyro receiver ESC transponder combo for a 2S - 3S drone ??? I've got 4 sunny sky drone motors like the size that comes on the AeroScout S 1.1m pusher prop plane. I've never built a drone but I've had several cheapos so I do have a bit of experience flying. I have a little E017. I want to build a decently fast drone though. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Great video and even better attitude and friendly delivery!! You sir, are the reason CZcams is such a good resource:).
Thanks for reviewing! I like the color and LED lights underneath.
Thank you. Great video. I just bought one and your video cleared up some things that that manual wasn't very clear on!
Best drone review, I've seen on CZcams. 👍
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. I have just ordered one of these drones with 3 batteries and as a total novice in relation to using a drone I found your video very helpful.
Thanks you for your response. I tried that and it worked perfectly. Tomorrow will be outside for a flight. I have 2 dji drones.they are amazing. This l900 was bought before.
Again thanks
hey man, just popped in to say hello and thanks for all the reviews and advice, i've moved on to more racey quads now but while making my end of year vid i stumbled across a syma x5c clip, made me think of your vids and antenna mods etc. i might include the syma clip, this year was my first mountain dive. thanks again. the hobby wouldnt exist without you and andy and bruce and seby.
Omg syma x5/8s taught me to fly like ten years ago
great job on the vid brotha, lots of info, thank you so much for doing it for us !
J'aime beaucoup vos vidéos et votre bonne humeur!
Great video with lots of info. Thanks i ordered one and subscribed👍🏻
Just received this drone for Christmas. Couldn’t figure out how to operate effectively (instructions were horrible). Very nice video here. Thank you for taking the time to educate us.
Awesome review ! Thanks a lot
Great information and explanations .... now i'm flying my L900... Thank You.
Cool video keep up with the good work.
Your vids are cool and amazing 🙂👍
Another great video, thank you. Can you recommend a similiar GPS quadcopter which will record to an microSD card on board.
thank you for teaching the right way.
Hi sir im from 🇵🇭 Philippines im one of your fan. My dream is to have a drone someday because i can't afford a drone like this.. If i have one. I will really take care of it and take it as a treasure.. More power for your channel and always take care.. You are my idol.
@Crafty Basics Think so?

Meron ako neto. Sipag lng
Thank you Quadcopter 101 . I just purchased one of these drones from eBay a week ago and currently waiting from the post from China And I have not been able to find any review videos and of course I'm subscribed to your channel and what do you know there's the review I'm looking for . Merry Christmas and thanks again
I have had two of these and both got lost in the same way. Each on the day was programmed to return to take off zone each had about five minutes flying then left sat at about 100feet in wind of about ten mile per hour. Both only to suddenly take off down wind. On hitting return to home they just kept going never to be seen again. Now afraid to buy a third one ????
Hey guys I’m Max and I’m here in the land down under
Melbourne Australia I watch the QC101 drone test / review videos first every time I’m looking at a new drone or
To compare different drones to each other and find the quality of the reviews far better than most group chats
I find you cover the A to Z of the drone great job 👍🏼
I personally purchased 2x LYZRC L900 drones orange and black I got them for a steal each with 2x batteries
And get an average minimum of 50 minutes total with both batteries or using all 4 batteries 1 hour 40 min
Anyways to cut a long story short very reliable smooth flying and extremely accurate the gps has never failed with either drone
Features all work as they should just a solid little drone range is surprising the drone returns home when it hit around 1450 meters
I think that’s around 4750 feet the L900 is without a doubt my favorite entry level brushless gps drone
After paying $95 AUD on sale for both I would highly recommend this drone for beginners or even just for fun
Hope that helps anyone looking for a great starter drone .
Great videos! Which one do you prefer? LYZRC L700 or LYZRC L900? I have seen you testing both but would love to know your opinion!
this video was very helpful, i bought this drone as i discovered this video just as I was about to try using it ..very useful thank you sir you are a genius ..
Thank you for a good review! How do I land on it? Just drop down to the ground and it will shut down?
Hi asking for opinion here. My handphone is big, 7.2 inch ans couldn't fit the compartment at the remote. Any clamp can be used for my handphone?
Finally I found good drone for beginners
Hello! Can the transmitter of the LYZRC L900 PRO drone be switched to Mode 1 (right throttle)?
Oh yeah I forgot to mention. The controller on mine can run through about 5 or 6 full batteries in the quad. Even though it's is small on mAh it lasts really decent amount of fly time
Hey guys, what is the current best value drone for about 80 to 100 bucks? I've been away from this channel for some time now. A good drone with 2k recording capabilities? This one seems to have a crappy image.
SG906 Pro or Pro 2. Well it's a little over 100 dollar but not much. I really can't think of any other drone that has as good video for the same price.
Is it better than DJI Tello?
Hey quad 101. Another great video. I was wondering if you still used VSDC to put together your videos.. If yes, i was wondering if you could do a tut on how you splice, and line up your timeing's. e.i. both your phone screen and your drone video, to take off at the same time. I can't figure it out for anything. Thanks.
Notice when I do those sync up moves in the video. I use them as visual cues to line up the separate videos on the timelines so my voice matches my lip movement.
@@Quadcopter101 how about a tut video?? what version of VSDC are you using? I am using the latest. I am newbe at this. Only if you have some spare time sir.
is the quality of the drone body of sg907 pro better than this one? As this L900 has cheap plastic which is easily broken?
Nice video mate, I just bought it as my first drone so I hope I don’t crash it, at lest I saw how you operate it like a pro, Cheers from Mexico
How Is this drone doing for you?
@@theomorah5660 it was got to learn, now I’m using a Mavic Mini 2 SE which is way better
Thanks for the useful video Quadcopter 101. I do have a question concerning the app on the phone. Which one is used or recommended?
Welke app?
does this have phone control feature like flying without remote?
In the description on banggood it says transmitter will run for 3.5 hrs on a full charge. Then the range states 2000 meters. So if its gps AND can do of all that, comes with 2 batteries plus fly for 28 min, HELL YEAH this drone is worth it for $100! Only issue I see is the shaking of the video but without a gimbal that's to be expected especially in winds. Not sure what others expect for $100 but hey I might pick one of these up and I'm by no means a beginner.
I've seen the L900 for a lot cheaper with foam box and 1 battery.
I think the SG108 is better. Video poor quality too but jello. It's very well made plastic. At first I thought it was wasted money. But I started to like it. Put it in your pocket to fly it around a bit. I wish there was one with EIS.
Then there is the LU1. More expensive. But video look OK. Longer range.
Next year people in Europe will need a license fro drones over 250 gram. So I expect Mini copies with gimbal soon.
Hi. Can you please help me with the calibration? I've bought this L900 drone, but when I try to start calibrating it by pushing the left joystick button up and down, the green lights don't stop flashing! And as far as I know, they should stop flashing to do the following steps. Do you know what it could be? Thanks!
Try using the app. See the above video starting at 15:10
A friend of mine just ordered the L900. I want to build a decently fast 3S drone. Any suggestions for a receiver gyro ESC transponder combo would be much appreciated.
Good morning, please tell me if the RADIO is MODE 1 OR MODE 2 ? Tnk1000.
드론 저도 구입하고 영상보고 배우고 잇어요 감사합니다 구독과좋아요 누르고 풀시청하고 갑니다 감사합니다
Great video. Thanks for uploading. I intend to buy one. How much time did you find the remote control works after a single charge?
Can I ask um what is the app you can use and how can operate the camera to recording video or take a picture sir?
Real time video from the drone can be viewed and recorded (1080p @25fps) on your phone via WiFi and the "HFun Fly" app (I used HFun Fly as HFun Pro would not record video with my phone).
Sir. .how about altitude this drone can fly ?
Can anyone tell me what is the anti shake function and how to disconect it ? I cant use de follow mode or the gesture mode whith the anti shake function on
Which app are you using? "HFun Fly" or "HFun Pro"? I used HFun Fly, and had no problem with follow me.
Один из лучших обзоров на youtube!
Just ordered the L900 pro se max to fly other than my phantom 3 standard ; Like ur video on the L900 pro I hope later u will test the L900 pro se max they both look the same Accept the L900 pro se max has optical Avoidance would love to see u flight test the L900pro se max , I learned a lot of info from you,great job
Hello quadcopter,
i want to give my dad a drone for his birthday. i watched youre vid do you recommend this one or a other one around this price point?
Yes, at its price point and with its capabilities, this makes a good beginners first drone.
Sir just a question. how do you achieve the non freezing video feed? because everytime i fly my drone the camera feed always freeze for a moment of time and then comes back
You need to stay close with the drone to avoid that from happening. This drone records to your phone via WiFi, instead of using an onboard memory card. If the WiFi reception becomes weak, the result will be frozen and lost video frames.
Hey Quadcopter 101. Question?
How do you know from the app which speed the drone is set to? Is there any representation on the app showing such?
The horizontal speed of the drone is the "H" number shown in the top portion of the app's screen.
@@Quadcopter101 Thanks Quadcopter 101 I knew that however I was looking for a visual like you have in your vehicle/motorcycle showing the gear you are in. Thanks for the reply and subbed...OK
Just purchased this drone but can't connect to WiFi as mine is 4g do you need 5g
hi sir i just wanna ask if what app did you use to test the l900?
thank you so much
I used HFun Fly. But HFun Pro is suggested by the manufacturer. However, HFun Pro would freeze every time that I selected it to record video. HFun Fly did not, and seemed to work well with this drone.
@@Quadcopter101 thank you sir just bought one as my beginners drone
Happy Marry Christmas 🎄
Thank you for your video about the L900 Pro. I bought it after watching your review. It is a fun drone to fly. Very stable for a small budget drone. I was wondering if I can set height and distance limitations with an app. HFUN Pro app doesn't have that feature. Can I use a different app that does incorporate those features when flying this drone?
Would you recommend L900 over Tello?
@@mdabusiyam i would, tello has no gps, and only has a range of about 30 metres
@@mdabusiyam l900 pro is much better
Hi, I'm sorry for the stupid question, but how do you land the drone? I tried using the top left button but it doesn't look so well without good gps signal. All the other attempts of landing (like decreasing the throttle) didn't work out so well and most of the times the drone ended up in complicated situations. It's our first drone and the manual is not very good for beginners. Thanks.
The top left button is GPS return to home landing, and should only be used with good GPS reception. This does not have automatic takeoff or landing button. You will need to land it manually by lowering the throttle, and holding the throttle down until the motor stops. As such, select an open and flat takeoff landing location without obstacles.
Hi Friend, i tried to calibrate using the manual calibration but at the end the green light still flashing and the rear red is steady. I tried using the apps, its the same, what seems to be the issue?
If you haven't figured it out yet. You have to leave it sitting after compass calibration while it looks for satellites. Once the connection is made all light go solid and it beeps. I had the same issue sometimes just figured it out a couple weeks ago.
I have a l900 se max and I'm using a Galaxy s10 but I get no smooth transmission. I have used the VR mode. The image on the smartphone constantly freezes, even when the drone is very close because I'm holding both in my hand. What's going wrong?
Performance can vary greatly between phone models. If possible, see if you can borrow a different model phone to see if the close in freezing still occurs. Also notice the thin white WiFi antenna protruding near the optical flow sensor. Try bending that downward 45 degrees to see if that may help also.
By the way, if a different model phone works, you may be running too many apps in your background. Recommend doing a virus scan, and manually closing/uninstalling any unneeded apps that may be running without your knowledge.
Hi from Austria. very good video, thank you. How is the name of the app you are using?
I used the "HFun Fly" app.
my drone is moving in circular motion at certain height ( 6 ft)
I am confused why it does that.
when it is high in air it doesn't.
please answer.
thank you
That's called toilet-bowl. Try do the compass calibration a bit higher (1.5 mtr) and away from your phone. Sometimes it is just the location. See what it does at a different spot.
Also do gyro calibration.
Good afternoon to you. May I ask you a questions. Each time when you use the drone. Do it need to synchronisation each time when you use it. I am new on this toy. It seen the GPS never able to get it signal. I had to off the GPS before it could fly. Thank you in advance.
Yes, you need to calibrate the compass as shown in the video. Also, make sure that you are outdoors in an open area. Being indoors, or near tall buildings or trees can block satellites signals to the GPS antenna.
@@Quadcopter101 Thank you so much for d advice
Hey! Can't tell why my drone, when controlling one remote control or one smartphone, after 5-10 minutes of flight does not obey and flies chaotically in different directions and after a few seconds sits down, you can say it just crashes into the ground about 50-100 meters from me? Thank you?
Did you complete the compass calibration as shown in the video?
@@Quadcopter101 That's right, everything is just like yours. Today I flew, but controlled and calibrated only with the remote control. Again he fell from the full swing of about 30-40 meters from me and did not obey at all. Maybe this is a hitch? What did one remote control? I didn't think about it. It always turned out that it would rise above 50 meters or move away, which is not visible and all the return does not work. I tried the same story with one smartphone. I just thought you could control either a remote control or a smartphone. Didn't you manage separately?
I realize this is an old video, but these L900s are still available and I just bought one. One huge difference is they've done some sort of firmware update and now require a totally different flight app -- RX DRONE. Seems to be working okay for me but be aware all app features of this video are no longer applicable. I've been looking but haven't yet found a good review video of the current version L900 with RX DRONE. So I don't know what fancy gimmicks the app might provide, but don't typically use the various extra bells and whistles.
what is better to buy l900 or f10 drone
Thank you for your answer
I have another question please
How far can i Go with the dron?
How far can I see the images of the camera?
Kindly regards from Austria
I'd guess about a couple hundred meters.
Merry Christmas from Philippines
Sorry for the late reply, but have been shoveling snow for the past three days. Maligayang Pasko!
@@Quadcopter101 wow you can speak tagalog ❤️❤️❤️
Can carry on air onepaa of this kind of drone?
What is better to buy l900 or s604?
Love the orange color. I always want a orange one but their like 1,500 or more. They do charge more for orange! Thinking about picking up the 3 battery package so I have more drones to trip over. : } Do not expect to buy more battery's for this, that will be a DYI for you in two years or less. I am impressed with its performance compared to my lower end GPS hubsan drones. I suggest searching for a old SOLO 3DR drone that's new or refurbished but that's $200 more and you will need to buy a camera. Hubsan has the sd card slot on most of them. The video is poor to fair, that maybe a disappointment. I do want a orange drone, Hum.... Yes or No? PS:
hola buenos dias me e comprado el drone L900 y no se como cambiar el modo vuelo mas lento esta en mode 2 y quiero cambiar al mode 1 y la ruedo LH no me deja al mode 1 que puedo acer dime como lo cambio un saludo gracias. para aprender a manejar mejor el drone
Lamentablemente, no creo que se pueda cambiar. No se menciona hacerlo en las instrucciones. También probé todas las combinaciones de interruptores que otros drones solían hacer, pero ninguna funcionó.
Hey sir. Thanks for this video. I am really interested in purchasing this drone. However, you mentioned that one need to have a cellphone with 802.11ac capabilities. I have a Samsung J5 Prime that came out around September 2016. But the specs says that it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n( Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot). So I really am not sure if my phone will be able to work with this drone? I don't want to buy the drone then have to upgrade my phone as well. Also can one fly the drone with only the remote only without a cellphone?
Also another question. Does one have to every time calibrate the drone upon a fresh start-up? Or between changing batteries?
I hope you will answer me. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately your phone will not work with most WiFi drones these days. And you should redo the compass calibration each time that you fly in a new area, or notice instability of the drone in hover. I like to do it every time I change the battery to be safe.
@@Quadcopter101 ...thanks for your reply. Someone else that has the same drone says my phone will work with this drone. So it leaves me a bit confused with two different answers to this. Anyway, thanks for your response.
Can you do a video and show how much weight it can lift ? Please
Hey did you move from Trona? I worked for Kerr McGee {West End} back in the late 70's.
Yep, moved to Erie Pennsylvania from Ridgecrest.
What is the difference between the L900&L108?
Can you please recommend to me best photography drone for under 100$ please
How far can the flaycam l900 fly?
Hi dear , which drone would you recommend , the Echine EX5 ore LYZRC L900
Reagards
They're actually both about the same. To compare, here's my review of the EX5 czcams.com/video/fgCI4q65yj0/video.html
Hi, What smartphone you used in this video? I want to use small 8 inch tablet and I like your idea as you put your smartphone to controller. Tnx
I use a rubber band. But a tablet is quite large. I'm not sure a rubber band would be enough.
Can you review the L500
Maybe you can help me. I am lost with the Wi-Fi connection. How do I do this
Turn on the drone and place it on a flat level surface. After 30 seconds, turn on your phone, and go into its WiFi settings. Look for the drone's WiFi signal in your phone's WiFi settings. Connect to this signal with your phone, the same way that you would connect to your home WiFi (no password required). Then open the drone's app. The video should now be available in the app.
Please help us. We cashed the lyzrc drone apx 200 meters away on a hill. How can we find it?
Use Google Maps. Find your takeoff location on Google Maps satellite view. Then draw a 200 meter line in the general direction that you last saw it. Note that position on the map, and go out and physically search that area. I've found many a lost drone using this method.
Pretty good drone to learn to fly. I like the color, because mostly are black or white.
I agree. Most other GPS drones near this price range have GPS toilet bowl effect or flyaway issues. This one seems pretty reliable in that area.
please do a L500 drone review!
How far is the drone, sir?
What app do you use?
Cannot be used for mapping?
I have downloaded the application from the manual that the seller joined. Unfortunately, the photos and videos as well as the preview of the image are upside down. Has anyone had that ??
Just try 180 degree flip
Whare I updated the software
This drone can carry onepaa x2000?
Hello sir , this review is where first heart of the L900 pro. I bought 2 of them . The first one arrived with the app manual that you have in the video. And I also use the h fun fly app although it doesn't connect on my phone so I use my roommates phone. Even though I do have the right wifi configuration. I will be getting a new phone this week either way. The second one arrived today and some things are different with this one. The controller is thicker and the fold out handles only open to 90 degrees of the controller. Also the app manual says to download drone rx . Do you know any thing about the different app. Actually I really like the way the drone RX app works with the drone better than h fun fly. It work also but not as good in my opinion. The controller is no big deal it works great and so do both drones. I have pushed the distance out to 1,100 meters and it returned flawlessly and super fast. The first time I couldn't see it come back and I thought ."oh no another fly away" lol but I thought I could hear it. I happened to look straight up and it was just beginning to descend. I got gray so it was harder to see. With the color and speed combination. Anyway if you have any idea why they recommend 2 different apps please let me know. Also I only got one battery. I ordered 2 spare batteries on eBay and got the 2 batteries for $15.99 plus tax with free shipping. I wanted to pass that along to others who only got one battery. One is not enough for sure. And I have never gotten 28 minutes but I usually fly at full speed. Which gives me about 16 minutes. Not bad at full speed and lots of manuevering. Thank you
Can you advise a good but cheap phone to comunicate with this Drone? Purchased a phone but could not connect.
Just make sure that the phone you are considering purchasing has 802.11ac WiFi.
Great Review!
But personally Dji Tello is the best in this price Range only with a small comprimise
That's a cool drone I like it remember the wltoys Cessna 182 3 channel airplane that's the one I'm getting
Can u make a review of traveller lll drone?
do you need to do compass calibration every time you change the battery?
Not really if you're flying in the same area.
Hi mate, how did you get the drone to stabilise so well?, I just got one and it doesn't stabilise at all, it just goes all over the place, appreciate your time, thanks
Did you calibrate the drone's compass as shown in the video? Also, make sure that the GPS is not turned off (also as discussed in the video). Finally, I recommend that you do not take off until you are receiving at least 9 satellites for GPS positioning to work. I usually wait until 11 satellites are being received for best position stabilization (in the video I was receiving 16)..
@@Quadcopter101 hello sir..how do you select mode 1 and mode 2..?tnx..
Not bad (for the price) as a beginner's UAV. Lot's of jello though. Was out past your way earlier this week, as I made an "Erie Run" to Peninsula Dr. Was surprised how much Pa. is "locked down" compared to Oh. Well, hopefully, now that a couple different vaccines are out, it won't be long before all this lockdown nonsense is over. Have a good Christmas .. it might even be a White Christmas for you this year! Cheers!
Merry Christmas to you too Bill.
Hi I can't find the serial numbers FCS, GCS and the chassis number of the APR.... where am I looking for them? Thanks
It doesn't have any numbers.
Love all your uploads.always fun.and interesting.but this drones for the bin.
