First time drone owner and just got this drone off Amazon for 300. I can attest this is an awesome drone for the cost.

This is an awesome video. My wife just gave me one of these drones for my birthday a couple of days ago and watching this video really put my mind at ease about being able to fly it without any issues. This is my first drone and definitely don’t want to damage it if I can avoid it. Thank you for doing all of that testing and showing us the abundance of features this drone has. I'm excited to spin her up soon.

Time to join the party! Just unboxed mine (the SJRC brother) but before it arrived have been checking out videos. First flight planned later this morning here in Arizona before it gets hot. Your video touches on flight details that others skim over or don't really show as hands on. Yours does so thank you for the detailed instruction and examples! I regularly fly my Yuneec Q500 birds for wedding and real estate videos, but takes awhile to get off the ground for calibrating and waiting for enough satellites. It amazes me how quick the F11 does for both and video quality is just as good if not better. The various features like orbit flight and way points is also a game changer. Thanks again!

Thanks so much! My brother in law gave me this drone because he received it as a gift and he's just not into these kind of things but he figured it was something I would like and he is right. I have had drones before but they were cheap, you control every aspect of flight manually. They never seemed to last to long. And that was many years ago but this thing will fly itself around without you having to touch the joy sticks on the controller. You helped me figure out some of the features so thank you!

@@snappy2725 LOL...this is funny because yesterday, when I got home from a week away, I literally returned the F11 to Amazon via Kolh's, and immediately ordered the Mini 2 Fly More Care Refresh yada yada yada. As the F11 sat in my living room for week, it gave me more time to research, watch vids, and think it over. I obviously wised up and stopped hating on DJI. I'm excited to get it, as well as some Freewell ND filters. I'm in Colorado, so eventually I'll start posting some great footage. Time for this "cinematography" newbie to start looking into things like Darktable and Blender. Stay tuned, and thanks for your honest feedback. It's a good confirmation on my decision.

@ARFTT
@ARFTT 3 года назад
Thanks for reaching out @Jose Humberto Contreras. That's a great question. Here's what I would say: The Ruko F11 Gim is fantastic but from what I've heard, there is an identical model of this drone that is sold by SJRC. A quick Google search popped up the SJRC F11 Pro available at Walmart for $276. Here's the link: www.walmart.com/ip/SJRC-F11-4K-PRO-RC-Drone-Camera-Adult-2-axis-Gimbal-Brushless-Motor-5G-Wifi-FPV-GPS-Quadcopter-Point-Interest-Waypoint-Flight-26mins-Flight-Time-Stor/499946592?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101001360 It's hard to beat that price for the amount of flying time and features that you get with the F11. That being said, I love my DJI products. If you can afford it and you want all of the bells and whistles (including collision avoidance on some models) I don't think you would be disappointed on spending the extra money on a DJI product. Let us know what you decide!

Thank you for the unboxing and this test video. After viewing your videos, I am confident in buying the F11. It is exactly what I am looking for. I purchased a DJI Mini 2, but had to return it, as the app required me to buy a new phone. I am on a family plan, so buying a $300 phone and getting on a different contract just to fly a DJI was out of the question. But I placed the order and will get the F11 in 2 days. Your videos are very professional and I love your backdrop area. Keep up the great work.

An excellent and nicely detailed review so thanks for your efforts. I received my SJRC F11 Pro 4K a week ago and so far am very pleased with it. The GPS on mine is absolutely perfect, so it just sits up there like it’s parked in the sky with no need to touch of the controls. The camera and gimbal also works perfectly for great videos. The MP4 files tend to be a bit large but that’s ok with me. You were also the only reviewer that I have seen to cover the Non-GPS mode trim feature. The manual was not very clear on that. I assumed that you held that “Speed Switch” down the whole time you were adjusting the trim using the right control stick, correct? Thank again for your efforts, they are appreciated.
@ARFTT
@ARFTT 3 года назад
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback @Ray of Slinger WI! I'm also very pleased with the gimbal and video quality. Unfortunately 4K videos do tend to be on the larger side, but that's a good thing in my opinion. Yeah I'm super surprised that nobody else is covering the non-gps trim. That's a huge benefit and not every drone has that feature so I'm very happy that Ruko inlcluded that feature on the F11 Gim. And yes, I was holding down the speed switch while giving the control inputs. As soon as you release the speed switch it's going to record those inputs as trim. Thanks again for the feedback. Happy flying my friend!

@rayofslingerwi8588
@rayofslingerwi8588 2 года назад
@@Kholaslittlespot1 No, mine did not have the optical Flow camera/feature on it. I think that came out about 6 months or so after I got mine. Frankly, that was the only thing preventing mine from being a truly exceptional drone. It is still flying great and I have no regrets in buying it when I did. I like that Optical flow feature because it allows you to fly indoors (gently) to maybe burn a battery down to a storage voltage if you had charged it up for outside flights and did not get an opportunity to use them. You should not leave a battery fully charged for long periods in storage.

@ARFTT
@ARFTT 3 года назад
Thanks so much for the feedback and the sub @Jens G.! The few clips in the video that say "onboard video" were taken straight from the sd card on board the drone. Definitely a noticeable quality difference. But I upload the video to RU-vid in 1080 so I guess it's only going to be as good as that, no matter what resolution it started in. One thing to keep in mind between the HS720e (and I love Holy Stone!) is the 2 axis gimbal on the F11 Gim. The HS720 only has an up/down camera gimbal so any side to side motion of the drone (which you'll definitely get) will show up in the video. The F11 Gim has a gimbal that cancels out the side to side motion and makes the video a lot smoother. If you're going to be using it primarily for video, I think the F11 Gim is worth the extra money (especially if you get one of the clones like the SJRC version). Hope that helps! Thanks again for the feedback!

Hey @norman ziegelmeyer. Yes sir, your observations are correct. I also inspected them and found that there are no wires in them, they are purely decorative. I did have one gentleman comment that he was able to turn the into functional antenna's but stock from the factory, they are just ornamental. That being said, the F11 Gim still has a pretty impressive range for an internal antenna. Not sure why they felt the need to include ones that weren't functional.

During the compass calibration in the manual reads as camera facing down, the Ruko video it is facing up, and your review has it facing up, so does it matter or would it change anything?

Thanks for the feedback @Terry Weisflog! I also noticed that same thing. The manual shows it one way and the animation on the app screen shows it another. I really don't think it matters but I haven't tested it both ways back-to-back, so don't quote me on that. Knowing how poorly translated some of these manuals can be, I've been defaulting to what the app demonstrates (face down as I did it in the video) and so far, no issues. Hope that helps!

I took mine out the F11 GIM2 for the first time out of beginners mode. Using A I pad. flew it to 1700 ft away started losing connection so I hit home the camera froze and I lost the drone never came back so I tried the lost drone program and I must have been clueless there took me 4 hours in a gravel pit trying to locate, so I gave up it was getting dark so I started walking back but for some reason I switched to satellite view and the drone and I showed close together I continued to walk looked to my right and saw something white looked again and under a tree I saw the white FAA label I put on the drone WOW I was relieved. however it did take out both left motors....... I sent a log to Ruko and they are going to evaluate what the cause was.... I forgot to mention in the log it showed the drone just dropped from 200 feet altitude so there was some kind of failure..

@ARFTT
@ARFTT 3 года назад
Thanks for the feedback @Michael Berggren. I really appreciate it. I spent some time digging around all of the menu options in the app and I don't see anywhere that gives you an option to adjust the default record time. If I had to guess, there's probably a reason for the 5 minute cap. At 4K, my 5:00 videos are almost 1.5 gigs each. That's a lot of data to manage so it probably makes it easier to chop it up into manageable chunks and save it in smaller bites as opposed to processing one huge video file. Also, I'm not sure if the video records to the SD card in real time as you fly or if it records at the end of the flight once you press the record stop button. I would guess that it automatically saves the video to the card after 5 minutes. That's not a bad thing in my opinion. If you fly for 15 minutes and crash or something goes wrong, you could potentially lose the video of the whole flight. Breaking it up ensures you get at least every 5 minutes.
@michaelberggren8322
@michaelberggren8322 3 года назад
@@ARFTT Thanks for the reply. That makes sense, I noticed that it does save multiple times if I go longer than five minutes, I had originally thought that it was just cutting out after five. It does save automatically to card every five minutes it seems.

Good question @Allen. I personally think so because I love the 2 axis gimbal. From what I can tell, the F11 Pro is very similar except for the fact that the camera is only able to move up and down so you still get a lot of side to side movement of the camera in flight. The addition of the gimbal makes the video super smooth. You just have to decide if smooth video is worth the price difference.

So I appreciate the video you covered everything that I've experienced except for one thing that happened to me several times when I first bought this drone. Before this drone I had the f11 and unfortunately I lost it in the intercoastal water I live in East Central Florida and there was a problem hooking up the app to the drone so I flew it with just the controller and when I hit return home it just went straight down in the water and I couldn't get it since it was so far out my guess is that it had enough battery juice to take off and head out over the water but when I hit return home it didn't have enough juice to get back to me and just dropped so I saw this new f11 gim and I purchased it. The first couple of times I flew it there was no issue but there was a time where I hit return home and it started to come back to me but then I lost all control. It started doing big loops in the air and pretty much going down the street and doing what it wanted. I tried to get it back home myself and land it but like I said I had no control I was lucky to get it to land although it landed rough in my neighbor's front yard. I flew it a few more times with no issue and then again another time I hit the home button and it did the exact same thing. I had messaged ruko and they told me to make sure I calibrated it when I flew it which I always do. I never had a problem with my other drone like this so I decided to return it and get another one because I thought maybe this drone might be defective. So far I've flown this drone a few times and I haven't had those issues. I'm still going to continue to fly it but if this happens again with this drone I plan on returning it and going back to my f11. I really don't want to but I also don't want to be scared that I'm going to lose this new drone or have no control over it to where it crashes and damages it. My old drone I had no problem flying it nor was I scared to but this new drone does give me some anxiety just because of having that no control of getting it home. I don't understand why it did that so if there's any insight you can give me on why it would do that I would appreciate it. Am I clear into thinking that every time I land it I have to calibrate it? With the old drone I just calibrated it the first time I flew it and no matter how many times I landed it in that battery time it didn't lose control. If I'm flying this drone and I land it before the battery dies do I have to calibrate it every time I take off? That was the only problem I had with this new drone. Everything you discussed in your video was the same experience I had except for the gesture. I cannot get that to work to save my life but it's not a big deal. I also noticed in your video that you had hit the home button on your phone screen whereas I use the home button on the controller. I never had a problem with losing control of the drone at least the old one but so far so good with this replacement drone. Hopefully it won't do that again.
@ARFTT
@ARFTT 3 года назад
That was a "mouthful" @DJ SPIN! Sorry to hear you're having issues. It definitely sounds like the first issue you had was related to not having enough battery to return home. A general rule of thumb is to reserve 20-50% of your battery for the return flight depending on how far you are and the weather conditions. A lot of the newer drones will start to return home automatically at a certain point, but if you're flying back into the wind or you end up too far away, it probably won't make it. I'm reeeeeally hesitant to fly out over open water with any of my drones. The second issue sounds to me like interference of some sort. Though it shouldn't behave like that, I know it's possible for stay signals to interfere with the control signals that are being sent to the drone via your controller. That could make it behave irratically. It's just odd that it happened when you hit "return to home". What did Ruko say about that? Their tech support and customer service have been top notch in my experience so far! Also, you definitely don't need to recalibrate every time. The only time you really need to recalibrate is if you're flying some place new that's far away from the last place you calibrated, or after a crash. There's nothing wrong with doing it every time (to my knowledge) but you definitely don't need to. Hopefully you don't have any more issues!

Thank you for the video... I am new to drones, I ordered my F11 Gim last night it will arrive tomorrow. I am planning to use it to view the entirety of my property in NV. My question for you has to do with altitudes. The property has hills and valleys, that range 4000’-5800’ elevation. If I am trying to maintain 150’ from the ground in the valley 4000’ elev, over a hill that is 4800’ elev. Will the drone adjust for the 800’ elev change in GPS mode?
@ARFTT
@ARFTT 3 года назад
Thanks so much for the feedback @Robert Waller! Make sure you let us know your experience. Surveying your property sounds like an awesome application. In regards to your question, unfortunately, I don't think so. I don't really have any way to test this because I live in Florida by the coast and it's suuuuuper flat around here. But from what I can gather, the drone can't really adjust for changes in terrain. Though it uses its GPS location for positioning, I don't believe it uses GPS for altitude. I think it uses a barometric and acoustic sensor for that so it relies on air pressure (and sonar?) for altitude hold. It works great for hovering but wouldn't do much when moving at higher altitudes. Unfortunately I think you're going to have to manually adjust for altitude changes. If you test this and find out something different, please let me know. I'd be super curious to hear updates. Just be careful. Those tree tops can sneak up on ya. Thanks again and happy flying!

Thank you for the informative video! I have a question about the gimbal. Mines looks like yours out the box. It's crooked and leans to the side like yours does while you were sitting at the table. My question is does this straighten out at some point? Or is their a way to make it stay straight? I haven't actually flown it yet all I've done is get it to lift off the ground. I tried to use the trigger on the remote to move the camera while it was stationary and nothing happened. Is my gimbal busted or does it have to been in flight to straighten out? The camera does pick up the images, but I'm concerned something may be wrong with it. Am I just being paranoid? Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure the drone is sitting on a flat level surface when you do this. Let me know if that helps!

@ARFTT
@ARFTT 3 года назад
Hey @Tim C. Tricky question. My personal recommendation to friends and people I've trained is buy a cheap one to learn to fly on (JJRC makes some practically indestructible ones that are even waterproof). Beat the snot out of that to learn the controls and then transition to a more expensive drone once you have the muscle memory built up for the controls. That being said, the F11 Gim is very beginner-friendly. It has a "beginner mode" that makes it very stable and slower to respond to control inputs. It has an auto takeoff and auto land function and it's very stable in the air. The only "crash" I've experienced was at the 43:00 minute mark in my video when it crashed into the wall after trying to return home in my sunroom. The folding arms and folding props absorb a lot of impact during a crash so after it hit the wall, I unfolded the arms, recalibrated it and it took right back off with no issues. So it's definitely durable, at least for slow impacts. If you fly it straight into a wall/tree at full speed, I don't know how it would fare, but minor impacts it does fine. Keep in mind, there's no collision avoidance features on this drone so if you're an absolute first time pilot, I personally wouldn't start on something in this price range unless it had some collision avoidance functionality, however, if you're wanting to get something you can learn on and grow into, the F11 Gim is a great place to start. Hope that helps. Good luck and happy flying!
