EACHINE E520S GPS Drone with 4K Camera for Adults, 5G WiFi FPV Live Video GPS Return Home 32mins Flight Time Follow Me RC Professional Quadcopter for Adults Carrying Case and Two Batteries

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I chose this for our family's first drone, hoping to get sprawling shots of our little farm. I really liked that it came with a case to keep all the parts, and there were lots of videos readily available to help me get started.The drone comes with guards for the propellers (which I didn't use at first, regrettably). They snap right in under the propellers themselves, and they snap out as easily. It only takes a few seconds, and it's worth it to protect the machine.No problems downloading the app off of the Google Play store, it was free, and the only other thing that you need to get this going is 4 AAA batteries (I use rechargeables). The batteries are for the controller. The drone itself comes with 2 batteries (one is already inside the unit, the other in the case). Those charge by micro USB wire, which is included. I use a solar USB charger to power the batteries.You have to calibrate the drone with your app and the controller before the first use, but not again after. It's just a series of manual rotations of the drone unit, as the app tells you to.Once you download the app, you can record video and pictures directly to your phone. I think you need the SD card to capture 4K video, but I just used it without. My lens got dirty, which added a haze, but otherwise I really liked the clarity of the photos from when I first took off, before I dirtied it. There's a question mark button on the app that explains each of the options to you, or you hit the "play" button to enter the app.This is listed as working with 5G, so I was relieved that I was able to use this with my 4G LTE connection. You connect to it as if the drone is its own wifi, through your cell phone hotspot / wifi list. First turn on the drone, then turn on the controller, and lastly, you connect the app.Operating the drone itself is very similar to operating a video game aircraft. I feel like with a little practice, I'll be whirring it around without a problem. It's fairly intuitive when you're using the analog sticks on the controller, and just using the miscellaneous buttons and features will come with time. My first flight out was really bumpy, but with gentle movements, there's not wear or tear on the unit from "bopping" the ground, which happened several times.We're going to wait until the spring thaw, because it's difficult to contend with the winter conditions, but I was so excited to try it out, and wasn't at all disappointed. We're so excited to explore the 4k capabilities, the VR, and to fly this thing everywhere when the property is in bloom. Super fun, cool gadget.

I was SUPER excited to get this. I had read lots of their reviews, and it looked like the only bad reviews were when it was broken before. It finally arrives, and I read all the instructions and got everything ready,... and,... it went up (and I was full throttling it) and it goes up, and then just crashes to the ground. I thought it was maybe that I didn't set the gyro upright, or that it was maybe the battery. Low and behold, it wasn't either of those, its just simply a complete scam. Almost $200 for this piece of crap?! don't waste your money on this "made in China" piece of junk!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!! This was apparently supposed to be a competitor for the DJI Mavic Air quadcopter (which was, and still is an awesome quadcopter, much better than this one by far), but it doesn't even compare.

I kinda feel bad because almost every electronic or toy we buy, I end up taking it over (or the kiddos). Not this time. I got this for my husband for our anniversary and other than helping him set up up or helping him with questions on operation, I refuse to touch it. This is his and not for anyone else.What's great about this one is it's got a lot of nice features, but it's also rated for beginners as well. Perfect combo for my hubby.He started in the Headless Mode. Basically, it can fly in any direction without a path or anything else. Made it really easy for him to learn the controls and get a feel for the drone.The other modes are...GPS Position Mode he can configure the flight path for real time. If battery gets too low or drone is in trouble (unexpected weather), he can push a button to have the drone come back to him. He uses this to to check to make sure his walking path in the woods on his family's land is unobstructed and clear.Way Point Mode let's you draw a map in the app that the drone will follow. He hasn't tried this yet. He likes to master one thing before trying another.Orbit Mode is fun. Press the orbit mode icon and the drone flies around your phone in a circle taking pics/video. Though we don't play with his drone, we have done several family pictures this way. Really neat. The radius is adjustable to your needs.Altitude Mode just simply has the drone fly at a locked height. Also, a good tool for beginners. He only uses this though in clear areas (like the backyard).3D VR Mode is super cool. This does not come with the glasses, but we have some. I'm still amazed at watching videos in real time. So I did sync up the glasses while he was flying it a few times.This drone supports 5G WIFI and had a 4K camera with a 120 degree wide-angle design. The range is 250 meters. Each battery lasts 15 to 20 minutes (it comes with 2). It also comes with extra blades and carrying case.The batteries take about 2 hours to fully charge.The drone folds neatly into the case, making it easier to carry and store. We are really impressed with the easy of use, all the functions, and the camera quality. Great drone.

I used my friends drone and needed one for myself. I did search Amazon and other sites looking to purchase. I’m glad I purchased the Eachine E520S foldable drone. This came with a nice hard storage case with zippers to keep everything together. This drone has a 4K camera with live video. The Drone has many features and is very user friendly. The directions are easy to follow for this first time drone operator. It has a one key return button, headless mode, altitude hold, speed control as well as the 4 K camera. I live in Michigan and we have been dealing with lots of rain and wind. I have not used outside yet. I will add an additional video as soon as I can get out in decent weather. We live near Lake Michigan so I am hoping to get some great videos. If anyone is looking for a drone, I suggest this E520S foldable drone.
