Description: This long flying, 3 axis gimbal, brushless motor, GPS camera drone might just be the best bang for your buck currently available. It's feature packed at a great price. Find it here bit.ly/SG907-Max Pros - Small folding drone for portability. - Good GPS system with automatic return to home and landing on command, loss of signal, and low voltage. - Brushless 1503 1700KV motors for power, durability, and longevity. - 7.6V 2600 mah battery provides about 26 minutes of flight time. - 3 axis stabilized camera gimbal provides steady in flight video, even on a windy day. - Onboard micro SD card writer providing recording capability without use of your phone. - Camera records 1080p video at 30 fps, and interpolated still photos at 3840 x 2160 pixels. - XiL Pro app provides real time in-flight video viewed on your phone (requires 802.11ac WiFi capable phone). The app also provides advanced flight mode capabilities, such as follow me and orbit position. - Advertised FPV video range is up to 500 meters. Control range is much further at up to 800 meters. As this drone has an onboard SD card writer, you will still be able to record video and photos if you fly out of FPV range. Cons - The drone's app requires use with a 802.11ac WiFi capable phone. Not all phone's have this capability. Before purchasing, it is important to first verify that your phone has this capability. - Weighs 309 grams. It will require registration in many countries. - The drone's microSD card writer did not recognize my newer cards greater than 16GB capacity. - The drone's still photos are interpolated video frame grabs. - The drone's waypoints map would not center on the drone's or my location. As such, I couldn't demonstrate this feature. - You can not turn off the GPS feature once the drone is in flight. I did an experiment with various microSD cards to document which worked, and which didn't with this drone. It seemed to prefer my older, lower GB cards. Here's what was tried, what worked, and what didn't. The only theory I have as to why some worked, and some didn't, is that they may have installed a very old card writer (maybe some vendor had a large batch of very old writers at little cost?).
