Welcome to "Bill The Drone Reviewer" where you will find clear concise reviews on drones, drone accessories, tips, tricks, commentary, weekly livestreams, and updates on the drone industry. If you like drones you've found the right place.
Background - I am a seasoned IT professional who has always had a passion for technology. I purchased my first drone in December 2016 and have been hooked ever since. In February 2017 I passed my Part 107 exam and am a licensed sUAS Remote Pilot.
My parents taught me to always "make do with what you have". I may not have all the high end gear that some other reviewers have but I do have a high end passion second to none for this incredible technology.
Did you know that my other hobby is ham radio and a I have a channel called "Ham Radio Basics" - please do check it out ! www.youtube.com/@hamradiobasics

Why is it not mentioned ANYWHERE that this drone does not support any iOS devices! The app is only Android and anyone with an iPhone will NOT be able to fly this!!! All the review vids I've seen on RU-vid barely (if at all) mention this! A HUGE no-go for many. Suspicious at best...
Hey Bill, a different type of question. I think it is fair to compare to Specta Mini to the original DJI Mini 2 and by default to Mini 4K. I've already asked Marcus this question in reference of the Mini 4K. Does the Specta Mini allow yawing the drone on RTH? Thanks
Hi Bill, very nice video of Specta Mini QuickShots, thanks for sharing. You flew by it, but I saw Units listed under the Camera settings. You report that it is hot in Florida, it is unseasonably hot here in Western NY. It's not much fun flying in the heat.
Great news ! Accessories are now available for the Specta Air & Specta Mini on Amazon ! amzn.to/46ceFz1 Thank you for smashing that like button, your great comments, and incredible support !
Thank you. I was wondering about this. Did a bike/drone outing this morning and recorded the RC, took it and recordings from my drone and bike cameras and synced it all up into a single video, changing between views as needed. It's funny that I knew you could record the controller and could use the footage in videos but exactly how you do it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.
So, time-lapse is when a camera is stationary and Hyperlapse means a camera is in motion when the time-lapse is occurring. I didn't see any videos where you discussed getting your Part 107 certification. From a legal and safety standpoint, any UAV should never hover over vehicles in operation. Especially a class 1 or 2 model. They allow for temporary movement over roadways while avoiding vehicles. Just a thought since the FAA agents troll RU-vid regularly, they would probably make contact over this video.
I would watch the video again. In both instances I was not hovering over any vehicles. Also I have well over 1,000 videos and have discussed getting your Part 107 numerous times on Rotor Talk Live over the past seven years. Thank you.
Is the regular Raptor drone NDAA compliant? Looking at their FAQ and I see the thermal sensor is a Chinese component, but what about the standard Raptor? If not, is this something we can expect? I'm looking for a drone for our state organization in Florida.
Interesting new Mini drone from Specta, but I wonder how well it will sell, considering how closely it resembles another drone. Great unboxing and review Bill, thanks for sharing.
Nice. I will be definitely looking at these drones if the ban goes through. I was trying to see where you can purchase additional batteries but I didn’t see a battery only option on Amazon or the companies website. Any insight on this?
Looks, flies & sounds just like a Mini 2. Pretty decent picture quality also.. Although I'd still probably spend the extra $10 for the Mini 2 (with the CareRefresh option ..etc) Walmart still advertising the Mini 2 for $299... Great review Bill! Thanks for the insight 👍
The Specta Mini is now available on Amazon for only $289 ! amzn.to/4eRpFpf Great news ! Accessories are now available for the Specta Air & Specta Mini on Amazon ! amzn.to/46ceFz1 Thank you for smashing that like button, your great comments, and incredible support !
