Ruko Roko, Roko Ruko is the new Oprah Uma, Uma Oprah. Hey, mine is coming Wednsday, and your vid will get me in the air faster! Thanks for a good review
I just received this as a Christmas gift and must say you have provided the BEST user-friendly review I have seen!! Your instructions have helped provide much more confidence for me to take my first flight. And, thank you for your service to your community!
Thank you so much for the great comment! Comments like that are exactly why I keep doing this, have fun out there and stay safe if you have any questions please don't hesitate to send me a message.
My first drone.. F11 Gim2 has been sitting on the table for 2 days, I'm excited but a little nervous. This video is going to be super helpful, thank you!
Great first drone.. .first the nervousness will go away hell I still get nervous when I fly, keep it in beginner mode for the first battery then shut off beginner mode and just take it slow until you get use to everything it is honestly super easy to learn and fly. The most Important Read that manual! Also TRY to remember that it is a GPS Drone so it has the Fail Safe Features if at any point your feeling uncomfortable don't hesitate to hit the RTH (Return To Home) button , make sure to calibrate it compass and gyros (Flat Level Surface) and fly it somewhere that is nice and open remember Power Lines and Cell Towers will effect the Transmitter & wifi signal. I would also recommend downloading the UAV app it packed with useful weather information like KP'S I never fly if the KP Index is higher than 4 KP's are an invisible Geometric storm that can really affect GPS satellite signals if they are to high it can cause the drone to get confused as to where it is and were it took off from other than that my friend get that dam Drone off your table and go have some fun!!! Let me know how it goes and Please Don't Hesitate to send me a message if you need help with Anything.
Ok guy, I'm dandahermit. New sub cause you had what I needed. I'm subbed to several flyers an my usual go to for full details like you do very well is Pete at at RC Escape. I have the SJRC F 11 S 4 K pro 3,000 meter version. I want to learn in the Geo fenced speed 1 beginners mode because my greatest fear is a fly away. I'm 80 yrs old and not up to long hikes to hunt for a drone. I'd like to see a video on this topic to learn. I live up in the mountains. This was one of the best reviews I've seen because you included so much detail I needed. The manual that came with my bird is bout the size of a match book in micro print. I been studying for bout 2 years collecting some really choice models but been in the hospitals with freakin cancer and now I'm hoping to get to fly them. I will be following your channel. A drone I bought that I really like is a Bayang Toys X 21 double GPS and it's app is gone from the play store ( I'm Android) what do I do?? Do you know?? Also wish I could get the manual cause mine is gone . Calibrating is difficult.I know it is a great bird. Pete got 530 meters in the desert where he flys. I messed up my.cslibrstiom.snd had a fly away. Friends found it for me. It shows number of satellites squired. Glad I found your channel. Dan
As far as the missing App try Googling the apps name with APK File after it there may be an APK file that you can download I would do the same for the manual see if there is a PDF version online, Thanks for Watching & the Sub I appreciate it!
Thank you so much for your comment am glad the video helped that exactly why I do them! If you have any questions or need any help please don't hesitate to send me a message. Stay safe out there and Have Fun!!!
This video was very educational and this is the best video to learn from I purchased the ruku f11 gim 2 it's a lot to learn but I'm learning from your video
@@HubCityDrones thanks I will I was gonna get the dji drones but they are not compatible with my android phone I was very disappointed all the reviews on the app store
@Larry j.w am not a big DJI fan but I am working on a new video of the Hubsan Zini Mini Pro pretty much the same technology as DJI but better in my opinion!
Thanks for the great video that you just posted!!! Very informative!! Something I'm definitely going to look more into looks like a great drone thank you for your insight!!! Have a great day!!!
Am working on a video now of the Hubsan Zino Pro Plus so far it's my favorite very high tech yet super easy to understand and learn hope to have it posted in a few days thanks for the very kind comment your exactly the kinda viewer's I love doing these videos for! Have fun out there and stay safe! If ever have any questions please don't hesitate to send me a message!
@@HubCityDrones thanks for that and I'll be looking forward to that video too!!! Are you still considering doing a distance test on this f11 gim 2? I would really like to see how the distance works with the video and if it really does go 9800 ft away!!!
Hoping I can do that in a few days as well it's been crazy windy here lately I can tell you I have gotten to 5800ft away comfortably but then I started getting a little interference (video freezing) so I didn't push it lol! It will go 9800ft but you would have to be somewhere completely open (desert, field ect.) Where there is Absolutely nothing for the video transmission signal not to hit or bounce off of (mountains, buildings, cell towers, high voltage lines) the Drone am using now (Zino Pro Plus) has an 8K range 26,000 some odd feet almost 5 miles haven't tried that yet but it has a better chance of going that far because it doesn't use a normal wifi signal to connect to your phone it has it's own FPV program called Syncleas it's almost identical to DJI's technology without the DJI price lol! So I feel pretty confident this Drone will be the one to break my long range "comfort zone"
@@HubCityDrones Really appreciate your videos on drones, and the details you often go into. Too many others doing reviews, seem 'to assume' we all know a lot of the details, when many of us beginners or relative newcomers 'don't know' these things. Like another said, I have the HS175D drone as my first (real) drone. I love it, but wish it was more stable in winds. Guess it's the physics of a 220 gram drone....maybe? Thinking of an upgrade for Christmas (for myself). You and others often rave about Holy Stone's Customer Service as being very responsive and easy to deal with. Any other companies you can extol with similar admirable Customer Service, which might lead me to buy their drone, instead of HS (thinking about the HS720E as next step up for me). I'm not a guy who'll spend over $500 dollars for a drone, until possibly in the future when I'm much more accomplished and comfortable flying them. Thanks. Don
This is a great drone for the price, thanks for the thorough review. The WiFi signal you are connecting the phone is coming from the transmitter, not the drone. That is why you don't see the WiFi signal until the transmitter is on. Also the reason they can achieve such long range FPV. WiFi cannot go anywhere near the range of this drone. The drone and the transmitter exchange the flight controls and FPV video signal via the 2.4GHz signal then the transmitter sends it the short range to your phone via WiFi.
Absolute bullshit!! You don’t have the slightest clue wtf you’re talking about. The fact is that Ruko lied about how the remote worked and lied about the range it had because the drone was connecting directly to the phone and not through the remote as claimed. That’s why they had to come out with an updated remote that connected to the phone via usb cable. Any drone that uses a wireless connection from a phone to the remote remote will have a very short limited range because it’s limited to the phones WiFi range limitations. All drones that have long ranges use a wired connection from the phone/tablet to the remote
Going to be doing the Hubsan Zino Pro + in about a week supposed to go 8K and pretty close to DJI technology going to put it through the test and find out lol!
Another Fun fact, you'll more than likely only get it to go 6000 to 7000ft unless you're in absolute perfect condition, No obstructions at All, like cell towers, trees, mountains, power lines, wifi signals, basically you might get it to go 9800ft if your in the desert! Lol!
Deere DE22. This drone is approximately $200.00 more than the Deerc DE22 you recently reviewed. Is this drone so much more feature rich that it is $200.00 more? I have no drones and think either would be good starter drones and within my budget, just don’t know which is best for the cost, thank you
The Ruko F11 Gim2 has a much longer ranger and a controller with an LCD Screen vs an LED screen they both have about the same intelligent features. Both drones are very beginner friendly. But the DE22 has a really good price for a Beginner's First Done.
I bought this drone couple months ago. Have you tested the range on it? I can’t go too far with major lag on the video. Which makes it really hard to make a quality video.
Excellent tutorial! I bought the F11 pro for my 13 yo and stumbled on this. Thanks so much! Btw, how did you decide on his preferred pronoun? I think the one I bought is a girl. I had to say that! Lol
Thanks for Watching am glad I could help! If you turn the Drone over and open the rear arms fully you can tell if it is a he or a she! Lol had to say that!
First and foremost, Read The Manual that is best thing you can do as a beginner as far as actually flying for the first time I would start with a GPS Drone they are the easiest to fly and they all have Failsafe Features other than that try not to be to nervous and start out slow just launch the drone and let it hover and slowly get used to the controller.
Make sure that you gave it turned on, in the App settings (little gear wheel upper right hand corner) there is a setting where you can turn off the warning notifications and voice prompts. I can't recall off hand exactly where it is but it is in there just dig around and you'll see it, don't take this wrong but make sure your volume is all the way up, also if your doing a screen recording of the App on your phone you may not hear her talk but you will hear her in the recording, otherwise if none of that works I would uninstall the app re-install it and make sure you give that permission to everything it is asking you for! Hope this helps.
I fly out in the desert, no internet or cell signal. I returned my DJI because of constant connection nag. Is the Ruko the same way? Thanks and great detailed vid!
Thank you for the comment! Did you format it? If not it has to be formatted in a FAT32 format I think you can do it through the App on this Drone also make sure the SD Card is a Class 10 U3 or higher anything under that is not fast enough to record in 2.7K or 4K if you have done all of that I would try a different SD Card to make sure the one your using isn't Corrupted please let me if any of this works and I'll try to help you figure it out
@@HubCityDrones Yes sir, I have the Class 10, U3 SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB card for 4K Video. I did format it to FAT32. This is the 2nd card I’ve tried also.
Ok please don't take this wrong am just trying to help you figure this out have you checked to make sure the SD Cards are write protected also are you trying to download your videos Via your computer or through the drone?
Oh no, you good I appreciate the help. I tried them in my laptop and I was able to save other video to them. I put the SD card in my Laptop and it has no files saved on them. I’m not sure how to save them Via the drone.
To download them straight from the drone turn on the drone and the controller then open the App and connect the to the drones WiFi then open the App and go to the album on the App (looks like a play button under the pic/rec button on the right hand side of the app) if I remember right there should be a little SD Card icon in the upper right hand corner of the App tap and it should show you the videos that the drone recorded to the SD Card if you see the videos you can tap the download button and the videos will download to your phones album (in 4K) it takes a little while for them to download and you have keep the drone and stay connected to the WiFi here's the tricky part lol! The Drone will automatically power itself off after a few mins of just being in idle I put the drone in altitude mode and unlock the motors ever 3 or 4 mins this will keep the drone from Powering off keep doing it until your video(s) have finished downloading to your phone, if you try this and you don't see your videos there I would probably reach to Ruko customer service and tell them what's going on they are really good at taking care of their customers if they can't figure it out it could just be a bad SD card Slot and then they will most likely send you a new Drone (I hope it doesn't come to thst) also I have to ask (because I had viewer's do this before) you did hit the record button on the app or controller right lol! No joke I had a guy messaging me for help one time and then he realized he never hit record lol lol!
Just got this drone fro Christmas ⛄🎄 and this is my first drone ever so hopefully I can get the control down and learn how to fly the drone so I can get some good vacation photos the video was very helpful for me 👍😊 thanks. If I have any questions are need some help could I email you please. Again thanks 😊
Congrats on your new Drone flying it for the first time will be nerve racking but try to remember it is a GPS Drone and they really are super easy to fly and Control, Read Your Manual a few times then the first time you put that dude in the air just let it hover and play with the joystick so you can get a feel for it then take it up and out a few feet and try the return to Home feature (RTH) all though it can be hard for your first few flight try to remember that the drone has all kinds of fail safe feature so if you lose sight of it or feel uncomfortable about anything don't hesitate to hit that RTH button another good thing to do is let the drone hover and take your time and check out everything on the app remember it's GPS so it will NOT fly away on you, find a nice open area and just go for it and have Fun! Let me know how it goes and yes you can Absolutely send me any questions you may have I always respond to my viewer's questions if emailing me is easier my email address is in my channel description! Have fun out there and Stay Safe!
Total noob here....or Drone Dummy if ya want. My GIM2 must be a newer generation since this video. My controller looks totally different. Off to a bad start....I cannot figure out how to connect my phone to the controller. I've had this drone for a few weeks and did get it off the ground....barely. But haven't been able to get my phone into the equation.
You actually connect your phone to the drone, power on your drone once the drone and controller are paired open your phones wifi settings and look for the wifi signal the Drones is omitting, it should have a said name with the word "GIM" in it, Tap on it to connect to it, you might get a pop-up telling you that your connected without internet, select connect anyway! After you are successfully connected open the Drones app and you should be able to see a live video connection from the dro es camera, if you can't get connected try putting your phone in "airplane mode " and then connect to the Drones wifi signal again and re-open the app to see if you have a live video feed
@HubCityDrones Not sure about that. My newer generation, I'm to connect my phone to the controller via USB C chord :^( Can't get anywhere with this thing. I do appreciate you posting very quickly on this!!
@offtherealm5438 you should just have to connect the USB (make sure it connected in the right port on the controller and the USB cord probably has a picture or the words controller or phone on the ends of make sure they are plugged in right too) wait for the controller and phone to pair to your drone and then open the app, if your using an android phone and get a popup select charge only.
@HubCityDrones I don't take it wrong. I'm a total noob here. That is the drone I have. Seems my brand new version has to keep the cable connected. Vlogs, forums, instruction manuals all assured it was very user friendly.....it has been everything but! As a new person to drones its been very frustrating....everyone assumes these things are common knowledge and obvious....but they are not. All resources even skipped how to unfold the darn thing and how to shut the propellers off.
Lol They Never Send or Hardly Ever send 2 Charge When Get Multiple Batteries! I Still Haven't Figured That One Out Yet Lol! If I remember right it's just a type C connector on the Batteries so you can any USB Type C cable that will fit into the battery charging slot and you can use any 5V 2amp USB Charger Box (like the ones for a cellphone) Congrats on your new Drone have fun out there if you need any help or have ANY questions please don't hesitate to send me a message!
Did you remove the Gimble Cover, go to your app settings and make sure you turned on all the permissions for the App, you can also try putting your phone into airplane mode if that doesn't work I would try uninstalling the App and re-install it
@grtexas4741 do it before you open the app! Airplane will turn your wifi off on your phone so after you put your phone into airplane mode make sure you turn your wifi back on, then connect to the Drones wifi signal and then open the app and see if that helps, it's notnansure thing but for whatever reason it works most of the time, if that doesn't work I would unistall the app and then teinstall it!
Have you tried putting your phone into "Airplane Mode" if not try putting your phone in Airplane Mode, you'll have to turn your WiFi back on but leave Airplane Mode on. Let me know if that works
Curious what kind of charger you use to charge this. says 5v/3a but does it matter if its a "fast charger" or "QC" Charger. how about a power supply for raspberry pi 4. they're usb-c 5v/3a. Also a lot of people are only getting one charge cord in the box. Manual says only use supplied cord. Really? What's special about this cord?
@@HubCityDrones Do "voice prompts" work for you. I mean when returning home or low battery, the app tells you. I have the setting enabled on iOS, volume up. no voice warnings.
Absolutely but you won't have the FPV View or the trajectory flight or follow me features you can still take video and pictures as long as you have an SD card in the Drone
Nothing you could actually answer the phone and the drone will just hover and wait for you lol! But if you put your phone in "Do Not Disturb" mode you have yo worry about it!!!
Have gone to your settings in the App I believe there is a gimble Calibration option you can use it should reset the gimble and fix the problem if that doesn't work I would call them they are pretty good at resolving issues. Let me know if you get it fixed or have any other questions.
the remote looks like a straight rip off of the original dji mavic..which is a good thing if the insides are the same... but it's not. no occusync.. i've sent my original mavic pro 22k ft 5 miles.. i checks amazon.. they have a ton of spare parts for this drone.. complete arms with motors.. batteries are a little high. Cheapest drone i have is a DJI mini... once i went from Hubsan 501s to DJI.. it's hard going down to this intermediatte grade.. but way above a toy.
I hear ya am not a DJI fan (no offense) I have the Hubsan zino mini pro and it is pretty bad ace am waiting for Hubsan to send me their new Ace Pro to test that should be a good one

You can change the distance/speed from metric to standard through the 3 dots on your app

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Does the F11 GIM2 (or any of the Ruko F11's) have headless mode?
I don't believe they do!
Deere DE22. This drone is approximately $200.00 more than the Deerc DE22 you recently reviewed. Is this drone so much more feature rich that it is $200.00 more?

This uses cell phone for video. If there is no WiFi or cell tower connection … i.e. will you be able to see the screen?
Yes, the drone actually emits its own wifi signal that you connect your cellphone to in your phones wifi settings.
Great . I might get me one . Thanks
Great Drone if you have questions please don't hesitate to send me a message!
I bought this drone couple months ago. Have you tested the range on it? I can’t go too far with major lag on the video. Which makes it really hard to make a quality video.
Say you were a passenger in a moving vehicle, can you fly this drone as long as you are within distance of the drone?
Why is so difficult to find info on how to know when you battery is charged completely?..that should be one of the FIRST things they tell you!
Excellent tutorial! I bought the F11 pro for my 13 yo and stumbled on this. Thanks so much!
Btw, how did you decide on his preferred pronoun? I think the one I bought is a girl.
I had to say that! Lol
Thanks for Watching am glad I could help! If you turn the Drone over and open the rear arms fully you can tell if it is a he or a she! Lol had to say that!
Ok I need some advice what is your best advice for a beginner
First and foremost, Read The Manual that is best thing you can do as a beginner as far as actually flying for the first time I would start with a GPS Drone they are the easiest to fly and they all have Failsafe Features other than that try not to be to nervous and start out slow just launch the drone and let it hover and slowly get used to the controller.
I don’t get audio from the app when flying the drone - telling me low battery or drone in rth mode. My dad’s app has audio. Any thoughts?
Make sure that you gave it turned on, in the App settings (little gear wheel upper right hand corner) there is a setting where you can turn off the warning notifications and voice prompts. I can't recall off hand exactly where it is but it is in there just dig around and you'll see it, don't take this wrong but make sure your volume is all the way up, also if your doing a screen recording of the App on your phone you may not hear her talk but you will hear her in the recording, otherwise if none of that works I would uninstall the app re-install it and make sure you give that permission to everything it is asking you for! Hope this helps.
why skip over connecting... start up?
I fly out in the desert, no internet or cell signal. I returned my DJI because of constant connection nag. Is the Ruko the same way?
Thanks and great detailed vid!
I have not had any lag in my ruko
I don’t understand while showing the screen of the control where are you touching? How can we know where to touch to control the drone 😅?
Read the manual! Lol!
Great videos, best I have Seen yet!! I do have a question, I’m not getting video recording to my SD card, only to my phone. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the comment! Did you format it? If not it has to be formatted in a FAT32 format I think you can do it through the App on this Drone also make sure the SD Card is a Class 10 U3 or higher anything under that is not fast enough to record in 2.7K or 4K if you have done all of that I would try a different SD Card to make sure the one your using isn't Corrupted please let me if any of this works and I'll try to help you figure it out
@@HubCityDrones Yes sir, I have the Class 10, U3 SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB card for 4K Video. I did format it to FAT32. This is the 2nd card I’ve tried also.
Ok please don't take this wrong am just trying to help you figure this out have you checked to make sure the SD Cards are write protected also are you trying to download your videos Via your computer or through the drone?
Oh no, you good I appreciate the help. I tried them in my laptop and I was able to save other video to them. I put the SD card in my Laptop and it has no files saved on them. I’m not sure how to save them Via the drone.
To download them straight from the drone turn on the drone and the controller then open the App and connect the to the drones WiFi then open the App and go to the album on the App (looks like a play button under the pic/rec button on the right hand side of the app) if I remember right there should be a little SD Card icon in the upper right hand corner of the App tap and it should show you the videos that the drone recorded to the SD Card if you see the videos you can tap the download button and the videos will download to your phones album (in 4K) it takes a little while for them to download and you have keep the drone and stay connected to the WiFi here's the tricky part lol! The Drone will automatically power itself off after a few mins of just being in idle I put the drone in altitude mode and unlock the motors ever 3 or 4 mins this will keep the drone from Powering off keep doing it until your video(s) have finished downloading to your phone, if you try this and you don't see your videos there I would probably reach to Ruko customer service and tell them what's going on they are really good at taking care of their customers if they can't figure it out it could just be a bad SD card Slot and then they will most likely send you a new Drone (I hope it doesn't come to thst) also I have to ask (because I had viewer's do this before) you did hit the record button on the app or controller right lol! No joke I had a guy messaging me for help one time and then he realized he never hit record lol lol!
Just got this drone fro Christmas ⛄🎄 and this is my first drone ever so hopefully I can get the control down and learn how to fly the drone so I can get some good vacation photos the video was very helpful for me 👍😊 thanks. If I have any questions are need some help could I email you please. Again thanks 😊
Congrats on your new Drone flying it for the first time will be nerve racking but try to remember it is a GPS Drone and they really are super easy to fly and Control, Read Your Manual a few times then the first time you put that dude in the air just let it hover and play with the joystick so you can get a feel for it then take it up and out a few feet and try the return to Home feature (RTH) all though it can be hard for your first few flight try to remember that the drone has all kinds of fail safe feature so if you lose sight of it or feel uncomfortable about anything don't hesitate to hit that RTH button another good thing to do is let the drone hover and take your time and check out everything on the app remember it's GPS so it will NOT fly away on you, find a nice open area and just go for it and have Fun! Let me know how it goes and yes you can Absolutely send me any questions you may have I always respond to my viewer's questions if emailing me is easier my email address is in my channel description! Have fun out there and Stay Safe!
Why did you only get 2 battery’s? I just ordered one and the description for the F11GIM2 is it come with 3 battery’s.
Is gim2 the same thing is v2?
Total noob here....or Drone Dummy if ya want. My GIM2 must be a newer generation since this video. My controller looks totally different. Off to a bad start....I cannot figure out how to connect my phone to the controller. I've had this drone for a few weeks and did get it off the ground....barely. But haven't been able to get my phone into the equation.
You actually connect your phone to the drone, power on your drone once the drone and controller are paired open your phones wifi settings and look for the wifi signal the Drones is omitting, it should have a said name with the word "GIM" in it, Tap on it to connect to it, you might get a pop-up telling you that your connected without internet, select connect anyway! After you are successfully connected open the Drones app and you should be able to see a live video connection from the dro es camera, if you can't get connected try putting your phone in "airplane mode " and then connect to the Drones wifi signal again and re-open the app to see if you have a live video feed
@HubCityDrones Not sure about that. My newer generation, I'm to connect my phone to the controller via USB C chord :^( Can't get anywhere with this thing. I do appreciate you posting very quickly on this!!
@offtherealm5438 you should just have to connect the USB (make sure it connected in the right port on the controller and the USB cord probably has a picture or the words controller or phone on the ends of make sure they are plugged in right too) wait for the controller and phone to pair to your drone and then open the app, if your using an android phone and get a popup select charge only.
@offtherealm5438 don't take this wrong but you are using the F11 gim2 ?
@HubCityDrones I don't take it wrong. I'm a total noob here. That is the drone I have. Seems my brand new version has to keep the cable connected. Vlogs, forums, instruction manuals all assured it was very user friendly.....it has been everything but! As a new person to drones its been very frustrating....everyone assumes these things are common knowledge and obvious....but they are not. All resources even skipped how to unfold the darn thing and how to shut the propellers off.
looks like to drone Sjrc F11 4K Pro
Yep! They are pretty much identical same with DEERC DE22 different name lol!
It's F11s and the HS 600
I got one this Christmas but I didn’t get a damn second charger
Lol They Never Send or Hardly Ever send 2 Charge When Get Multiple Batteries! I Still Haven't Figured That One Out Yet Lol! If I remember right it's just a type C connector on the Batteries so you can any USB Type C cable that will fit into the battery charging slot and you can use any 5V 2amp USB Charger Box (like the ones for a cellphone) Congrats on your new Drone have fun out there if you need any help or have ANY questions please don't hesitate to send me a message!
I’m having problem just getting the camera connected to the RUKO app that’s my only problem I’ve connected to wifi and everything can you help?
Did you remove the Gimble Cover, go to your app settings and make sure you turned on all the permissions for the App, you can also try putting your phone into airplane mode if that doesn't work I would try uninstalling the App and re-install it
@@HubCityDrones thank you very much for the help, once I put it on airplane mode it connected right away!
Is there another app for this drone? Mine keep kicking me off.
Not that I am aware of, havebyou tried putting your phone into airplane mode?
@@HubCityDrones no do I do that after I turn the Drone on?
@grtexas4741 do it before you open the app! Airplane will turn your wifi off on your phone so after you put your phone into airplane mode make sure you turn your wifi back on, then connect to the Drones wifi signal and then open the app and see if that helps, it's notnansure thing but for whatever reason it works most of the time, if that doesn't work I would unistall the app and then teinstall it!
@@HubCityDrones okay I will try that. I will let you know how it goes. I appreciate it. Thank you.
@@HubCityDrones that seemed to have worked. Thank you again.
Only tilts 80 degrees down, not 90
Mine won't connect to the app. For some reason it keeps disconnecting. Could you help me with that please thank you
Have you tried putting your phone into "Airplane Mode" if not try putting your phone in Airplane Mode, you'll have to turn your WiFi back on but leave Airplane Mode on. Let me know if that works
Curious what kind of charger you use to charge this. says 5v/3a but does it matter if its a "fast charger" or "QC" Charger. how about a power supply for raspberry pi 4. they're usb-c 5v/3a. Also a lot of people are only getting one charge cord in the box. Manual says only use supplied cord. Really? What's special about this cord?
No you can use either one I use both on all my drone batteries
@@HubCityDrones Thank You! Watching your video to get setup. Really appreciate it!
Appreciate you watching thanks any questions don't hesitate to ask
@@HubCityDrones Do "voice prompts" work for you. I mean when returning home or low battery, the app tells you. I have the setting enabled on iOS, volume up. no voice warnings.
actually I just heard it working in your video lol. I missed that before..hmmm..mine is not working.
Your showing us a screen and telling us to push buttons but you don't say what buttons to push..???
Can you fly the drone with out a phone
Absolutely but you won't have the FPV View or the trajectory flight or follow me features you can still take video and pictures as long as you have an SD card in the Drone
What happens if someone calls your phone while your flying ?
Nothing you could actually answer the phone and the drone will just hover and wait for you lol! But if you put your phone in "Do Not Disturb" mode you have yo worry about it!!!
@@HubCityDrones thank you
Is it compatible with FPV goggles?
Not FPV it will work with VR goggles
Please get a microphone..
My camera gimble won't level out. Any suggestions?
Have gone to your settings in the App I believe there is a gimble Calibration option you can use it should reset the gimble and fix the problem if that doesn't work I would call them they are pretty good at resolving issues. Let me know if you get it fixed or have any other questions.
the remote looks like a straight rip off of the original dji mavic..which is a good thing if the insides are the same... but it's not. no occusync.. i've sent my original mavic pro 22k ft 5 miles.. i checks amazon.. they have a ton of spare parts for this drone.. complete arms with motors.. batteries are a little high. Cheapest drone i have is a DJI mini... once i went from Hubsan 501s to DJI.. it's hard going down to this intermediatte grade.. but way above a toy.
I hear ya am not a DJI fan (no offense) I have the Hubsan zino mini pro and it is pretty bad ace am waiting for Hubsan to send me their new Ace Pro to test that should be a good one
This drone is a copy of the Bwine mini
If your talking about the Bwine F7 Mini, you couldn't be more wrong dude! To a side by side and then let me know if it's a copy!
Your jokes made me scroll.
15 minutes of flight with a load of 200 grams...
I don’t get audio from the app when flying the drone - telling me low battery or drone in rth mode. My dad’s app has audio. Any thoughts?
