4drc V4 Wifi Fpv Drone Wifi Live Video Fpv 4k/1080p

The blades and its not stable on the air. It was flying un balanced.

This is a small drone slightly bigger than your hand. Despite it’s small size it does have a lot of features found on larger drones including auto liftoff, auto landing, 720P camera and Wi-Fi controller.Overall the quality of this drone is good. You get extra rotor blades for repairs and two batteries for extended flying time up to 25 minutes. The handheld remote is good but requires 3 AAA batteries which are not included.The drone itself is small and lightweight. You can fly it without the blade guards however I would recommend using the blade guards at all times for safety and to minimize the risk of injury or damaging the rotor blades. The design of the battery compartment is good making it easy to swap out batteries.The camera is only 720P on this drone but works well and looks good. There is no SD card for recording video but you can take snap shots using the app on your phone.Other features of the drone include hand gestures and voice control … in my experience these are hit and miss. They work sometimes but not other.I like this drone and have fun flying it however I probably wouldn’t order it again for the following reasons.1 – The small, lightweight size makes it difficult to fly and navigate outdoors, especially if there is any kind of breeze..2 – Difficult to hover. While this drone is fairly responsive and easy to navigate it tends to drift and does not hold it’s position making it difficult to hover.3 – Cost. The price at the time of my review was $69.99 with $20 off coupon. While this is reasonable for all the features included with this drone due to the size and fragility this drone is really a disposable product. How long it will last will depend on how often you crash it or if it drifts and gets lost or stuck. To prevent loss or damage I would recommend flying it outdoors in a large open field and moderate altitudes.Overall this drone is fun to fly but will probably not last too long which is typical of these small mini drones

■ Background/unboxing:I have no prior drone experience, so I was eager to try this out.In the box, the drone comes with a remote control, 4 spare blades, 2 drone batteries, 4 frame protectors, an English/French manual, a micro-USB cable and a small screwdriver. You need to supply 3 AAA batteries for the remote control.Before the first use, you need to charge the 2 drone batteries using the micro-USB cable. The drone uses only one battery at a time the other one is a spare.■ Operation:It’s best to fly this in an area where there are no obstacles, I’m thinking at least half a football field. Also, this being a light drone (50 grams with the battery), the wind will carry it away pretty fast. So, it’s easier if you chose a calm day, especially for your first outing.When you first turn your unit on there needs to be a pairing between the remote and the drone. It’s a simple and quick operation. The manual is clear, and you also have the drone LEDs that give feedback.Although the instructions are clear, I was left at many times with unanswered questions that I think should’ve been covered.Before your first fly it’s a good idea to check in advance about how you’re going to land it. Fortunately, there’s a one key take-off/landing button that does exactly that and works well. So if like me on you first flight (it was windy) the drone takes off and starts crossing the field you can land it before you lose it or hit something with the touch of a single button.There’s also an app, iOS or Android, that you can download to not only control the drone but take pictures or videos. The drone remote has a phone holder for easier access to both. In order to use the phone app, you need to make sure that you’re connected to the Wi-Fi drone network – your phone will say it’s a no Internet network, which is normal.I found the app not all that intuitive to use and the printed instructions too succinct on the subject.■ Performance:Getting the drone to fly and land is simple enough. Getting it to go where you want takes practice, more than the few hours I put in it so far. I found the pictures taken by the camera to be very poor – they had bad definition and were over exposed. The video was better but not great.The drone emits the distinctive drone sound but it’s really not that loud this being a small drone.■ Wrap up:For a teenager or if you still have a child’s heart somewhere in there, flying a drone is just pure fun. This one has a few automated flight controls that make it easy to get started with basic flights, but if you want more controlled flights, you need to practice. I also found it easier to control the drone with the remote than the app which I find a bit confusing. The camera is a disappointment. Obviously there are better drones out there, but this one is affordable and comes with some little extras like a spare battery.

I picked this up for my son-in-law. He had once mentioned wanting a drone so when given the opportunity to try this for free, I scooped it up for him. I can’t say I really have much interest in this sort of thing and I am SO not the techie type, but we set it up together (he really did all the work) so that I could get a sense of it. I am still not particularly interested in it, but for a short time it was kinda fun to play around with and I love watching him have fun with it. Setting it up seemed fairly easy, though as I said, he did all the work, and using it seems pretty straightforward, though using it well definitely takes some trial and error. Whatever you do, I would suggest reading the instructions before you attempt using it, and flying it outside first is probably a good idea too. Unless you are an ace at this sort of thing, a crash or two is inevitable. So far, my son-in-laws biggest complaint is the battery; it doesn’t usually last as long as he wants to play 😉 He did say this wasn’t as fancy (my word, not his) as other drones he has seen, but given it is labelled “beginner” and considered kid friendly that wasn’t a surprise. Botton line? If flying a helicopter like toy while seeing the world through its eyes, so to speak, sounds like fun then this may be the drone for you. I was pretty impressed with what it could do, given it is considered a toy.

The helicopter lost contact with the remote after 30 feet distance and flew away. Cheap product, weak signal remote.

The drone is not the best as expected but I can’t use the camera since the app crashes everytime I hit the play button (even though it says it’s compatible with my device) so basically I have a drone with a camera I can’t use even if the picture quality isn’t the greatest (and I tried many apps to try to get the camera to work) overall I’m not satisfied with my purchase feels like I wasted my money expecting to at least be able to use the camera even the play store reviews of the app are not good be careful when purchasing
