Drone X, Blade 720, Super Drone, DroneX Pro HD! Is the Hype Fact or Fiction? Extensive review tips. 

Don't press auto home Dave! It might fly back to China!

These are fake ads, i bought this drone and it's literally garbage

I love how they say: "We can sell it so cheap because we are not spending a dime on advertisement", while you - the customer - is watching the expensively produced and calculated advertisement. haha!!

There's definitely a place for the low cost drones, but the constant stream of lies in their marketing regarding its features, is completely unethical. I hope they go out of business.

Thanks for the honest review, I thought about purchasing this drone advertised on u tube until I saw your review, I'm going to look for a better quality drone, mainly use for video. Thanks

Thank you for posting this video! You just saved me a ton of money! Because it’s Christmas 2019 I’ve been receiving a lot of junk email on my regular Outlook inbox, Blade 720 drone was among them. Since I’m a professional drone pilot I decided to take a look. The advertising is good making the buyer think that their product will knock off the major brand companies with their Blade 720 Drone. Luckily I decided to look on RU-vid for any real reviews and found your video. After watching this video I will NOT buy this Drone. Once again thank you for taking the time to make and post this video for all of us hard-working consumers.

WYSIWYG! What You See Is What You Get. Although some of you commenters suggest this is the same as the Eachine E58, I have done more research and it is NOT a rebranded E 58. The buttons on the TX, the TX itself, the lights, paint, and molds are entirely different. And since the price was way higher by $100, I expected it to be better, but it is not. It is worse. I expect most of you who have smart phones have seen all the ads for Drone X, flooding your iPhone and other media. Well I bit the bullet and decided to buy one and find out if it is worth the money or not. This is what I found out with some tips. Thanks so kindly for watching this double feature. Dave

In the ad for the “blade 720” with “Arthur Bell” half the time they use a dji mavic and the other half they use the each one e85d. They didn’t have even try to hide the logo. Don’t fall for this crap trust me

TBH, I am more impressed with your grass looking like perfect turf than this drone... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Some of these online scammers have the gall to actually use footage of dji mavics in their advertisements. This is maybe a $40 drone.

Is that the same drone that I sent you photos of from Costco a few months ago? It kinda looks like it. Anyway, you didn’t seem too enthused about it at first but it looks like it won you over. It dies fly nice, quick and responsive. The video from your other drone looked smoother to me. Plus, a good old fashioned Nighflyyer mod or two can only make things better! Nice review, thanks sir! Semper Fi.

Didn’t like it at that price, then, in your experience is there any quality drone you’d recommend under, say, $150 USD available now? Thanks for video, much more informative than the sparse ad for this tiny drone. Wouldn’t have guessed at the phone usage, uck.

Interesting, watch different drone x ads, they're actually different batteries and set ups.

Also known as the Blade 720, Emotion drone (well I’d certainly display some very negative ones if I bought one). What a piece of junk and $44 bucks for a ten cents case and a few bits of plastic..... someone saw you coming, sorry for that. Appreciate the heads up on this though. Folk should email: support@maxdeals.ltd and give them some flack over this pile of junk.

I been looking into buying my first drone, the Mavic Pro is so expensive for my budget, then I saw one in wish.com under 100 stating it will fly for around 28 minutes, but I run into an issue with them when they start sending me product without me ordering so I cancel that option and account closet on time with my bank. Be careful people when you use credit cards online, my bank just recommend me to use a temporary number with a certain amount setup for the ANY and every transaction in order to prevent unwanted charges or stealing my numbers, so back to this drone, I was tempted to buy it online because it sounds very serious about the price, quality plus the special discount if acting right away, ahhg ...then I decide first to search google for reviews and as I see its not all good. thank you for the advice and reviews, I hope you Mr Night Fyyer recover your investment by doing this video.

Too funny... just got done with this video and the Ad for the Drone starts to play. whitch is why I was looking for a video about the drone, to see if it was as good as they claim it is. But now My spider sense is really tingling.

I hope there is a hero that comes along one day and wipes out all the people that make fake ads like this.

Absolute junk, the old BAIT AND SWITCH! What you get is not what they advertise, not by a long shot. A $40 mall toy for $100. Just a bad bad bad deal. I wish everyone would get this message.

First I hated the music ( why do people doing product reviews think music sound tracks on review videos is any less annoying than "elevator music" you have to listen to while your on hold on the phone?) . Other than the music you did a great product review. Saved me $100!

The ONLY person leaving you a Thumbs Down is Drone X hahahaha :-) Great Job! :-)

yeah some of the footage they used clearly shows dji brand name on the drone what a joke

the power of fake advertising... Great video Dave...

Thanks for saving me from a BIG disappointment, and a hit to the wallet, great vid and you got your self a subscriber

this is complete and utter rip off as a toy is too expensive as a photographic drone it just isn't by the time you get it it's too late to return it the camera does not pan or tillt it's a joke don't waste your time or money

I think, I will pass on this one.... A bit too creepy on what it is rather than what was originally advertised .... (-:

I'm glad I'm not alone in picking up these off brand quads, even though I have built hobby grade quads, lol. There's something that's fun in a different way about them.

this is a cheap toy, if u r intending to do any Arial photography stay away from this drone its worth max 20$

I see you enjoy playing guitar as well! From NewOrleans, Louisiana!

Looks like you could receive 'Hulu' and transmit it to your basement, via the WYSIWYG iPhone link...! But, other than that, just fly it and have fun with it. And give us an update on the non-functioning buttons on the back, if and when you find out what's up with them. Good show!

Thanks for the great video, very informative and seemed honest. Talked my husband out of purchasing, so his search continues. Only thing that drove me to distraction was the 70's porn music playing over the video. 🤷🏼‍♀️

this drone is not the drone x pro i received. Mines the same as the Echine 58. one of the rotors packed up within the hour and started making noises. You cant fly it now, it's all over the place - uncontrollable. Won't be buying any more items from hyped up ads again.

It's a total SCAM!!! It's not a 3 axis camera and it takes shaky video and blurry pictures. Mine needs the trim adjusted to get it to hover EVERY single time I fly it and that only leaves you with 5 or 6 minutes to fly it. And it's not easy to fly at all! I can go on and on about this piece o-crap, But I've wasted too much time on it already. Spend a little extra and get a DJI or other Quality brand.

Can’t believe how these marketing people have taken a low cost drone and with some fake advertising and name change, they tripled the cost. Btw I’m not sure how return to home could work without gps. It seems impossible and hence why it didn’t work.moverall, I think people can do far better for the money. Eg aRise Tello for example. BRW thanks for the video.

Hi, Subbed :) I feel bad for people who get taken by this, the drone you show is the exact same plastic toy I got from tophatter auction site, bidding for fun, and paid 16.00 for it, free shipping, etc. waited 2 months for it to arrive LOL, I didn't get the overblown 90's CD case with it, however, mine did at least come with 4 spare props in an actual bag, that's not surprising that they just threw the extras in the case without a second thought, thumbs up for not getting mad, because that's a good reason to get steamed, good reviews, and enjoy the channel, and good job helping to spread the word about these ripoffs. The little drone itself is fair enough to fly around the house, but the false advertising is so wrong.

You’ve got a lot of cool shit. I used to want to fly those big RC planes but never was committed enough to save up. Obviously, people should go for the best price. If you can buy this drone or a similar drone cheaper on Amazon or wherever do so. I feel like there’s a bunch of pointless negativity towards the people in China reselling drones or whatever they’re doing. I’m not condoning or defending unethical behavior. But, China is a horrible place to live compared to The USA. These people are probably struggling to survive not living the life of luxury. Just tell people in reviews they can buy the same drone elsewhere for less without negativity. It should be obvious from the price this is not going to have the quality of a 1500$ drone that’s common sense. Free Tibet... and the Chinese people.

Funny how their video shows what looks like a mavic. Excellent looking quality. With a very nice camera. From what I see here, looks more like a Dollar general drone, with a pinhole cam lol. That looks nothing like DJI quality what so ever. And, is everyday, the last day of the sale??? LMAO

Thank you. You review was very helpful in my decision.

First of all, I liked your video. I do not have one of these things and the hype from the company gave me the incentive to buy, especially for the price. The fact you could control it and you showed a few modifications to make it work better is a bonus. It looks like you have a few planes in your garage so you're familiar with how this drone should perform by virtue of the controls on your planes. At any rate, you helped make my decision.

Thanks for all the info Dave. A Great Video as always!!

U tube ad for this drone brought me here...your channel is awesome and i subscribed...looking to get into drones as a hobby and take aerial shots of the lakes and ponds i fish..any suggestions for a 1st time buyer Dave? Thx

Is XDroneHD.com a scam too? Inventor is supposed to be Arthur Bell on a one page website as well as an affiliate program. I'm not sure what site is real and what is not and what is value for money so thanks for your reviews :)

I got suckered and bought one of these and it literally lasted two 5 minute flights before one of the motors failed. Total garbage. Don't buy at any price!!!

You seem like a really cool guy. Thank you for sharing!

Camera sucks, tx controls don't work, its a fake

Since ive started flying helis ive become a pincher. It helps alot

When it's supposed to hover in the same spot, it keeps on dropping down to a lower level. Not satisfactory.👎🏾👎🏾

Hi Nightflyer I believe I just bought a later version of the same drone, what disappoints me is I have to turn off my internet wifi on my phone, when I switch to the drones private wifi do you know of a way to bind both wifi together so I can livestream to my PC ? here is my video I put 2 extra links in the description to drone footage taken onboard the drone ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P9oxIKIpqq8.html

A quick google would have told you that it is a Eachine E58 rebrand... You could have saved a lot of money by getting it from banggood! The base price for this thing is less than what you paid extra lol!

The price-point is not bad for an entry Drone so why not just be honest and drop the price, just a little. In my opinion, if the company is this shady right out of the gates, even if I was OK with spending that kind of money for a fun toy which I probably am, I absolutely would NOT trust the software they have you put in the phone, especially since it seems you need to accept all types of conditions (that no one reads) in order to make it work; what's going on behind the scene? Maybe nothing now, but commands could be activated at will. Be careful and cover you phone cam when not in use.

i see u have a few guitars there. i just got a gibson les paul after 50 yrs of not playing one. man how much one forgets over the years lol and as always a great vid.

Ouf, not that great. I could tell just from the props.

I wish people making Blade 720 do a 2 cameras model. You get depth perception and that can be actually use for real important outside work, and you can also maneuver in between branches of a tree out of the box. ALSO you feel like FLYING FOR REAL IF YOU USE virtual reality googles. And that is something you need to FEEL.

I got the drone X for about $40.00, free shipping took about a month from China. This is my 3rd drone, and I have to say it is very fun to fly. The camera is not great, and my controller had an issue with the power button that I fixed. I had watched other reviews before purchasing so I was expecting less quality. But it has exceeded my expectations. Mine works in headless mode and auto takeoff and landing also work. I do wish the camera was higher quality, but for price I can’t complain:) nice job on review

Saved me some money there ;)

If you know anything about drones,and I do,you can spot a cheap drone from the picture and the price off course.The Chinese are very good at deceptive advertising,as they are with everything else.They show in a flash more expensive drones in advertising videos doing amassing things as if it was the one they’re trying to sell you.No brushless motors,fake antennas,toy camera,etc.Questionable distance.The drone is trash really,you can do much better for $100-$150 that’s still a cheap drone but much better than this .

First like and comment, good morning Dave.....I’m such a creeper lol

Well done, good impartial review with actual camera footage.👍

it's a cheap eachine e58, stay away

I swear china sends u packages wrapped up like they just sent u a ton of kilos to sell on the block

Thank you for the unbiased review, found it very helpful in decision making. What would you recommend as a "starter drone" looking for something easy to use and a picture like your 4k image?

The loooong ad I saw for the Blade 720 hinted at a connection to Bell Helicopters. Pretty sure that and most of the other claims they made were a load of buffalo chips.

This is a scam.. thank you M&T Bank for the Alert

$44.00 for the case? More like worth $14.99 Lol

is it the false advertising or the that the drone is a dud? i have a mavic 2 and looked at this one and i read a lot of negative reviews.

Thanks for saving me from a BIG disappointment, and a hit to the wallet, great vid and you got your self a subscriber

The problem is not that this is a bad drone for (hopefully no more than $40). It is a generic, cheap, light-plastic chinese drone. Total gumball-machine quality. The probalem is all the ads under this name, the Blade720 name, and Drone X Pro name that all claim that there is some great engineer that deserted from DJI to build a drone just as good, if not better than a $1,000+ Mavic for just $99. All deception. This drone has nothing to do with a Mavic Pro, has no sensors, no 4K, no gimbal, no GPS, etc., etc. It is literally the same as any drone under $50 that you find on Banggood or Amazon.

Thanks again for an enjoyable and informative video Mr Herbert.

Boomers pinch the control. Haha

Why hasnt anyone sued them for false advertisement since what they showed it to be wasnt what it actually was or what it can do

Nice review Mr. Dave....seems to fly quite well.

Congratulation from Brazil.

uuuu just the video of the drone was upside down?

Tje drone I have has headless mode I hate it

Blade 720 is a Scam

A nice toy,...like your yuneek in the back beter hahaha see ya Piet

Excellent review 👍

I will stick with my echines e511s thanks .but great review.

What is the minimum phone requirement? My son has an older I-phone 5C

Deeply embedded conditioned responses and expectations are difficult to adjust!!! :)!
