- DJI RoboMaster S1: bit.ly/2N3IU60
So I have been playing around with the new DJI RoboMaster S1 for about a week now. Possibly this is the first unit in Canada as they were only released in a few select countries. In my review video, I discuss whether I think it is worth the $500 price tag as an educational toy and how it performs for those who are more interested in it due to its RC capabilities. I even mount a DJI Osmo Action on it to see how well it would perform as a remote-controlled 4k ground camera.
The Traxxas Slash is a great alternative if you are looking for a remote RC that you can mount a camera on and get some interesting ground shots

My review is from a viewpoint of a DJI consumer who is purchasing it for reasons other than an educational toy for kids.

#DJI #RoboMasterS1 #Review
Buying a product and hope it does what it was not designed for is a mistake of the buyer. This is a great fun educational toy, not a walking go pro.
xiangzhi meng well lots of people who love making videos were expecting a walking GoPro, because DJI has always made drones to make nice footage not kids educational toys 🧸.
That’s really disappointing 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
@@esaugalvez Are you one of their stakeholders?
@@esaugalvez from the start of the reveal itwas never advertised as a gopro it is a Educational robot and dji has been hosting robot tournaments for years
@@esaugalvez DJI has bigger picture in terms of this product as they want to pursuit on a product that will make kids and enthusiast to get interest into robotics, and FYI, they have been hosting Robomaster tournament for years, that's why this product came out, this is not just meant to be just a simple toy at all. and who the hell don't research and read about product intro first before buying a product ??? and just assume what they thought it was ? on a 500 dollar product ?? Jesus, who's the kid there ?
Esau Galvez I ordered a Hawaiian pizza and I expected it to be a Pepperoni pizza, and it didn’t happen, what a Disappointment👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
It wasn't designed nor is it advertised as a photographic platform. There's not much need for ankle high video. It's a toy for introducing robotics and programming to all ages. It costs less than most of DJI's flying drones and will teach my grand kids much more that is usable in their life than any photo drone. At nearly 70 Yo. I'm enjoying the hell out of this thing. It's durable (I don't do jumps with it) and the programming is limitless. I'm going to buy 2 more for the grand kids. Well worth the price. Wholesome, thought-provoking entertainment.
That is false this was actually made for technical reasons. This is to be used in engineering applications.
Average rc car $200 to $300 for the entry level, xbox one x or ps4 $300 to $400 not including games! This is a great deal for children or adults.
You guys forgot the overprices Iphones.
500 usd expensive? i don't think so ... people told me if u want to built a robot like s1.u gotta spend double money! i live in the u.s . i think it's not expensive for most American!
99% human being live outside american
500 is expensive. I dont know where you live. Most of Americans buy stuff on credit cards. Loans 4 life.
Yeah like in the robomaster competition people devote like
All there money building those robots they’re super expensive
500 seems quite a lot for an RC car but not a lot for what you really get.
Amazing product! Love how crazy advance it is.
Grabbing the turret and moving it by hand in such a manner is almost certainly part of your performance problem.
The whole point of this is to program it.. which is the very thing you decided you weren't going to do. It's not meant to be a walking gopro. The intent is to teach younger kids programming and more experienced kids with Python to modify it and get full control. You are reviewing a product based off of what you wanted it to be and not the actual intent. Of course it isn't going to have great video (even tho it's 720p 30 fps) because it is meant to teach people not to go around recording everything, it's just there to help you see. This is like the Tello EDU. It's not meant for great pictures rather than just to program it and learn or see how experienced you are in python. You give it a biased rating and an unfair review. While I am just 1 commentor I am disappointing at this channel. (I am gonna make my own biased review :) ) Since this video isn't the video I was expecting I will not recommend anyone watch this video.
This is so good I bet it could ride on the Moon and Mars ...
Sorry, but your review missed the capabilities of a Robomaster. Its intended to be an educational tool to learn programming (you got that right) so not something a photographer using drones is going to be interested in. But you mention it is barely modifiable, Yet it has 6 extra PWM connectors, and extra SBUS connector for adding your own modules to it. And the programming tools include access to its AI libraries, which you learn how to use when doing the tutorials. The cards included: you kind of dismissed them, but they are an example to learn how to set up signage for the AI to recognise. Not just 'targets to shoot at'. This is an awesome DJi Product, just not to do photoshoots with. (unless you design a replacement for the gun with a camera in a shock-absorbing setup which you can control with the SBUS.... just an idea)
Great review! I love the look, the idea of building and programming it yourself, replacable parts, extra accessories, it can fire lasers and beads, it’s omni directional. So far I cannot see any negatives. Well 1, are DJI planning to build full size drones and robots with AI (Terminator).
Stew Vlogs I have one for sell
you can search DJI RoboMaster, that why S1 came out.
As a grown 52 year old I’d love to buy 4 , Paint them up like Star Wars fighting vehicles “masking sensors from paint” and go to war with my Grandsons ...Just going to wait for about 4 yrs till the youngest is older..
Also wonder with spare batteries, could one create a rental fleet..?Business “ Local Mall Floor Battle Arena “
That would be an interesting idea
Yes.
Just... Yes.
A laser tag arena for these things would make a KILLING.
@@dakotahensley4194 robomaster is a league of these in China, and s1 means step 1. The models in the league are programed and built by contestants and there are airborne units too. Things will much more interesting in a few years.
Maybe take advantage of the customisability. Have guests go all out modding it with loads of parts they would otherwise not be able to get and then have them battle in a massive arena. Maybe make the machines bigger and stronger as they are in a closed arena
Look the robomaster s1 isn’t made for photography or video production it’s made for not only child’s programming but even more advanced coding for college classes. It can also be a great beginning fighting robot for people who want to get in to the sport which more Advanced robots can cost up to 50,000$. Overall I don’t think you should make a review of something if your not really reviewing what it’s supposed to do.
I have a feeling this will be very popular in China but will only find a niche audience in North America. Next DJI will create a racing drone that will take over that market
buy it
I’ve got a Tamiya CC-01 I’ve used for RC stuff, put a camera on and it goes on grass really well. I will have to try some more with my GoPro, just the battery doesn’t have a charge indicator. Thinking of getting something for exclusive mount for video. An orbeez shooter isn’t really what I had in mind though.
I want one. However I'm 31 years old and it might just be a toy for me. I almost bought one on impulse. Now It's sold out. Thanks for the video.
It's never too old to play with toys.
This would be nice if it had the same cam as the Mavic 2 Pro, and a gimbal
Yes that would’ve been interesting, I think there where Many hoping it was a more professional rig Or some kind of stabilized motorized ground camera
Definitely interesting to knowing on the Dji Robomaster S1 and of course your honest opinions 😎👍...Rc cars just don’t have no active track feature built or follow me mode and still gives a shaky video footage!!!! And yes the price for $500 I think it’s ridiculous and it doesn’t even have with comes with remote not included!!
Excellent review...you made up my mind, and saved me 500 Bucks
Can we use that toy to inspect the basement under the house?
The footage really looked pretty good to me? Not worth $500, but cool.
It would be great if this thing can fly.
Would this work with a Xbox one s controller connected to my phone
The sideways and forward movement at the same time is neet looks like it was dancing when you showed the osmo action video at beginning
Good review bro
Very interesting toy
Waiting for the Phantom 5 or I’ll just keep flying my Mavic Pro . Nothing worth upgrading to yet. I want a good bang for my buck , not a little upgrade of a couple of min of flight time and a zoom feature.
Anyone have recommendations on any other RC vehicle that shoots projectiles or water remotely?
Great review. It appears to have a value of $199-$249, in my opinion. Like you, it’s not a product that I would purchase for myself and it doesn’t offer enough for me to purchase it for a child. By the way, I missed the table plant in this review. 😉
Bout to build mine. I’m a geek.
lol
i was stuck on the wheels because i used the wrong wheel top
how far is the transmition range
Very exspensive kids educational toy
Yes there is quite the price tag. I would’ve loved one of these when I was a kid
wow!!!
Million dollar question ,can i steer it from my office while the robot is in my house???????????
Nope, you have to keep it connected to the same internet as you
I want one....
DJI's drone sales must be severely declining with the new Canadian drone laws. Your average Joe is not going to jump through all the hoops of getting certified. DJI must be looking at other non drone products to make up for this loss.
I'd get one for the turret and mount that to the slash with a FPV camera and some 2.8 Trenchers lol that would be a good time.
Anything with "educational" in the title is always expensive.
Educational free Indian math video on yt
The coding is cool
Does it support Tensorflow?
Finally made it to Australia and at $899 no thanks I tried to get one when they came out but customs wouldn’t let it thought and got sent back because it can shoot
Wayne Dawson I have one already assembled for $350
Comes with everything
Noah what $350 Australian 🇦🇺 dollars
Wow! sour grapes. waa waa.
could be fine to put it together; but thats all for me.....
Moving sideways is neet
Would they sell spare parts on it?
Not yet
How will it help my child to learn, can someone help me answer this question? Thanks in advance.
Within the app you are able to learn basic coding
It teaches physics and math with the coding part cuz if it needs to follow a line you need to work out speed on a corner to make sure it doesn't fly off track.
Who wants the real one live ammo
Is it supported by Android devices?
Yes there is an android app. I have not tested it myself as I don’t own any android devices but from what I’ve read it works well
@@AirPhotography thanks
A $500 educational toy what a terrible price. Well if it fails I will pick a few of these up at garage sales in a couple years.
You must have a contract or something with dji because you get things from them early
I actually just ordered this myself on launch day I didn’t have any early access to it. It was hard to get it to Canada however as it was only released to US.
@@AirPhotography wow you payed for it dang man that's an exspensive review I thought it was sent to you by dji for testing
No I pay for the majority of the products I review. Are usually reinvest money I generate with my channel for a new gear to review
@@AirPhotography oh that neet makes sense
wow you missed the entire point of this amazing robot.
just buy normal orbiz when you run out, they're dirt cheap and you can by them by the millions
@unrepeatable raddish he's talking about the pellets dipshit
To be honest really like dji drones and love my spark and the mavic air, but I'm not a fan of this for a few reasons, first they have over priced its aimed at kids and not many average paid families can afford this and most schools will not be willing to pay even close to that, and to be fair I was a bit disappointed in the camera quality I would have thought they would have put a much better gimbal then that on it. Its a great new gadget but not for me and over priced..
3:15 Hell yeah those safety glasses are everything.. the most important crap from the kit. Fuck of DJI.. just reasons to charge people. That stupid canon has no power enough to destroy the eye, and let's not talk about hitting it. With that crappy precision.. is not really a rifle.. so I don't see any reason to use/give to clients safety glasses. By the way.. They are called safety GLASSES yet they are made from plastic. They should make them from glass. Until then those are not safety glasses, are safety plastices.
what in the world is that...
The Lego technology robotic kit have a full c++ program education course that is free
you really want kids to start with c++ - it's like having heroin as your first drug
it is just for USA market, the price is way cheaper in chinese market, and consider the increase number of chinese middle class family, it will sell well, and in fact it already sold out the stock in first couple of days after it released
just buy lego, its cheaper and comes with a full education course for free
@unrepeatable raddish thats what you can do if you are smart enough. Which you are not. muppet
@@Fliptality you can but it costs more money than this.
This might be exciting for kids but, *Yawn* this kid has better use for 500 smackers.
I dont think it's worth 500 dollers
$500?? Ridiculous.
unrepeatable raddish a great flying quad setup and a radio, a pair of HDO FatShark maybe, but I don’t see any innovation there other than a 3D FPS game. You can’t even drive it on grass? And it’s main purpose is shoot pellets. Nah.
Was excited for this till i saw its a on screen controller. Cant stand screen controllers.
Not a big fan either. They have released a controller that you can mount your phone in. But unfortunately it is a separate purchase… Even more money
Of ZERO interest until there's an optional mount that isn't a weapon. Some other creative way of introducing STEM and coding beyond weapons and conflict would be nice.
Yawn. DJI should stick to drones.
Get a Traxxas and forget this garbage
I did. A week later I purchased a slash and an x-maxx. Love them
But these are completely two different products are they not?
@@JustinHarveyvivivi They are absolutely two completely different products.
The Traxxas is an expensive but fun RC, with a proven track record. The other is an expensive waste of good money.
@@inglouriousbuster8005 Hmm, I see, I don't have one but it does seem to have very good educational purposes as well as being fun at the same time. I guess I need to decide whether that's worth £500, I'm still doing research. Thanks for the video though.
Trashtalker
Please elaborate
I am so disappointed.😟 I was hoping for a great ground camera robot that could keep up with my mountain bike. Might as well by a cheap RC car with suspension and stick a GoPro hero 7 or osmo action. Almost guaranteed to fail.
Oh no, the educational Robot fail at task that it isn't designed for.
Surprise!
DJI spies on americans. I wouldnt pay $50 for this piece of rolling garbage.
Joel McKinney the whole world not just you yanks
Absolutely useless!
