![]() My Air 2S will sit in mid-air like it's sitting on top of a tripod. Those more expensive drones set our expectations pretty high on this point. It doesn't move much distance horizontally, but it does move around at least a tiny bit pretty continuously. In about a 5 MPH wind and about 8 feet off the ground over grass, it sometimes moved up and down by as much as plus or minus a foot, and it moved around horizontally a lot. The biggest negative for us with the SG907 is how much movement there is in a hover. You can do all of the most important functions with the remote, and the remote has a display for things such as battery life, GPS status, signal strength, and even altitude and distance. I also think it's a plus that the SG907 can fly without the phone app if you want it to. If I break anything more substantial than a propeller on my DJI, it's a matter of sending it back to them for repair. ![]() Another plus is that the parts are available out there on the Internet. Even a DJI doesn't let you see the picture from the downward-facing positioning camera, so that's a neat feature. We haven't gone through all of the features of the app yet, but it's very impressive that the drone has all of that capability demonstrated in the video. Just the fact that it also has GPS plus optical positioning assistance and return-to-home is surprising to me under US$200. You need the "Max" for that feature.) Pictures are really good, and the 3D gimbal works exactly as you'd expect. (If you see an SG907 Pro out there, it doesn't have the 3D gimbal. The camera is definitely a strong point at 4K with a 3D gimbal. The SG907 Max certainly has a lot of good things going for it. ![]() We have never bought a smart drone like this that is this inexpensive, so we were both curious to see what compromises there might be for the low cost. The Air 2S is about six times the cost of the SG907 Max, so there's a lot to be said for the SG907 feature set right off the bat if I gave my friend the green light to buy it and see how well it works. The new one I just bought is the DJI Air 2S. It's shorter than the OP's video and is more sales oriented, but we got a little information from it.įor a little perspective on the basis of our observations below, I've had multiple GPS-equipped drones over the years including some DJI models. One of the best out there for sure about this drone.įor what it's worth, here's a video by the manufacturer, ZLL. That video does a fantastic job of explaining everything. The video in post #1 is very well done!!! We both watched it multiple times to figure out exactly what this drone is capable of at such a low price point. You can not turn off the GPS feature once the drone is in flight.Ī friend of mine recently decided to buy one of these drones after I got something new myself. As such, I couldn't demonstrate this feature. The drone's waypoints map would not center on the drone's or my location. The drone's still photos are interpolated video frame grabs. The drone's microSD card writer did not recognize my newer cards greater than 16GB capacity. It will require registration in many countries. Before purchasing, it is important to first verify that your phone has this capability. The drone's app requires use with a 802.11ac WiFi capable phone. As this drone has an onboard SD card writer, you will still be able to record video and photos if you fly out of FPV range. Control range is much further at up to 800 meters. Advertised FPV video range is up to 500 meters. The app also provides advanced flight mode capabilities, such as follow me and orbit position. XiL Pro app provides real time in-flight video viewed on your phone (requires 802.11ac WiFi capable phone). ![]() Camera records 1080p video at 30 fps, and interpolated still photos at 3840 x 2160 pixels. Onboard micro SD card writer providing recording capability without use of your phone. 3 axis stabilized camera gimbal provides steady in flight video, even on a windy day. 7.6V 2600 mah battery provides about 26 minutes of flight time. Brushless 1503 1700KV motors for power, durability, and longevity. Good GPS system with automatic return to home and landing on command, loss of signal, and low voltage.
