SNAPTAIN SP500 Foldable GPS FPV Drone with 2K HD Camera Live Video for Beginners, RC Quadcopter with GPS Return Home, Follow Me, Gesture Control, Circle Fly, Auto Hover & 5G WiFi Transmission

I was looking for drone which is not for children and at same time not a professional level which costs over thousands pounds. Finally found this GPS drone.There are some really cool features which makes it standout from most of the drones.First one is it's super light but at the same time at higher speed can withstand the effect of wind.GPS function makes it a great drone. Follow me function is quite fun to use.Video recording is quite stable at altitude level and gives some good images and videos. Light effects are awesome and gives it a real geeky look.All in all - it's something which I had been looking for some time and quite happy with purchase now.Highly recommended Folks 🤘👍Kindly hit helpful button if you like overall experience feedback 🙏

For the money, you absolutely cannot fault this drone in any way.However, I will recount the pitfalls that made me think mine was broken and gave me 24 hours before I first flew it, in the hope that it will help other buyers to get theirs working quicker and easier.The manual is VERY good compared to most things from China, but it was lacking in a few places which I hope might be filled here.1) The instructions for calibration of the compass are ambiguous about how it needs to be done. If you are having trouble, watch a youtube video. For me, the "Vertical" calibration had a different meaning, but they actually mean to point the nose IN THE AIR and rotate it. Failure of this step meant it would not go on to the succeeding steps.2) The drone tranmits wi-fi over a 5G network. If your phone does not have 5G you will not be able to use it with the drone. That doesn't mean 5G cellular network, that means 5G Wi-Fi network. If you can't use your phone to get GPS signal, I don't think you can fly the drone. Luckily, I have a tablet that DOES have 5G which I could use to get it going.3) You need to have patience with the App - it takes, literally, a couple of minutes to do the GPS calibration. The instructions say "wait for minutes" (incidentally, not indicative of the usual high standard of English in the manual, I assume they intended to insert a "2" in there and forgot), but I took the lack of instant response to be a sign of failure. Patience required!There is a support email address printed right there on every page of the manual. I did email them as soon as I thought mine was faulty and have had no response as I write this - 48 hours. Other reviews have said that the support was not good. I watched a Youtube video and resolved my problems myself. As I write this we are in Covid-lockdown, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I will update my review later depending on what reply I get.There was a free gift offer in the box with my drone, dependent upon writing a review on Amazon. I have to send proof of my review to the same email address to get my gift. They don't ask for the review to be favourable, just honest. Since it's going to the same email address, I'm not confident that I will receive the gift either. I will update if it ever arrives.Once you have all of the setup complete, the first flight was a joy. It took off with the auto take-off function, and sat there in an almost perfect hover,and I was able to just fly it gently around. There's not much more to say on that really, it does what a drone is supposed to do - it is pretty-much idiot-proof once it's in the air.Is it as good as a drone costing £500? I doubt it. Is it worth the money? Definitely.UPDATE. I never received a reply from the support.uk email address, but the main (".com") people have been excellent and patient with helping an idiot with their newbie problems. What's more, I DID receive my free gift - albeit that the choice was limited to just the Amazon vouchers option. I suspect this deal will not be available for much longer though, so don't buy it if you don't like the price it's selling for!

This is the first drone I have purchased/flown so have no previous experience to gauge my review on. However, the product came in very good packaging (which I have kept to store my drone in when not in use) and at the out set seemed to be well made. It was quick and easy to assemble and the drone battery and handset were pre-charged and ready to go. The app downloaded onto my I phone simply and connected with minimum fuss. (Please note that a lot of the blurb suggests that you have to have a 5G phone/connectivity. I don't and it works fine. I also found that I had no GPS signal indoors and the instructions suggest that you should have one, especially if you are a beginner. I found that as soon as I went outside the drone picked up a GPS signal, so don't be perturbed if you don't have one during set up indoors. (Also from my experience, don't be tempted to have a little go indoors, unless you live in a mansion the size of a football field!! You soon run out of space...) I was quite nervous on my maiden flight, so found an open field where it would be difficult to get into too much trouble. I also waited for a day when the wind was at a minimum. I kept the drone on beginner module, which has a distance preset to prevent it going further than around 30m from the controller. I would recommend this first time out if you are a novice. I really enjoyed the experience, managed to take some still and video footage that I was pleased with. (I wouldn't suggest this would be of professional quality, but certainly good enough to take back home and review with the family). Overall impression was very positive. My only issue (and this could be user error) was I found that the lock kept coming on, preventing the motor from starting. I had to turn off the drone and restart it, but as I say, this could be my error. I need to revisit the set up process in the booklet. Looking forward to the weather being favourable enough to get out and have another go.

I bought this for my 12 year old son for Xmas and i thought it would be better if i mastered it first then could tutor him, as ive heard lots of stories of brand new drones be lost on their first few flights.Basically you charge it up. Download the app. The drone then emits it's own wifi which you log onto with your phone (put phone in aeroplane mode, but keep wifi active. This stops any calls interupting your flight).The drone then basically takes off and if you want it to return back to the same spot it took off from, you press the "home button". Likewise if the battery starts to go low it will also try to fly back (and override your controller).Elsewhere you can set the perimeter distance, so it will only fly away so far, or so high.The camera can record locally onto the drone with micro SD or you can simply record the footage into your phone via live stream as you fly (although quality is slightly less).With two batteries i get about 25 mins fun from it.PS - it would be nice to be able to buy two more batteries as spare. Does anyone know where they can be bought?
