It's only $10 cheaper on Amazon. So I wouldn't say is significant enough to choose it over dji unless it manages to not get banned if dji does. Seems weird that it appears to be a direct copy even down to the app, and yet both companies are like "who?"
A reviewer who actually followed the line of sight rule with a Dji-ish camera drone. SMART! Let's not give the government any more reasons to ban these cool little, harmless drones. Very informative and to the point. I'm looking forward to more of your videos
10:00, isn't it almost always better to retrieve still photos from your 4k video as opposed to taking a still? I'm getting back into the dji camera drones and really have enjoyed the last 2 videos of yours that I've seen! Thanks for your time!
You can grab still shots from video and I do this in a pinch sometimes but a pictures can offer a possibility of a sharper image too because of the possible motion blur that could be present in the video. The pics might give you a little more control using options like long exposure shots as well... 🤙
Huh, all the trees are still bare in July? What was the time gap between filming and release? Also, if the Specta manufacturer would *just* turn off the geofencing it would go a long way in distancing themselves from DJI.
Hello, thanks for the great reviews. Do you sometimes do head to head among the drones you review? You always seem to only be comparing them vs DJI, but not against each other.
Thanks! Yes, sometimes, but since DJI is the industry leader they really set the bar for other companies so that's why a lot of comparisons include DJI products as a reference. Like them or hate them, for the most part DJI has the best products in most any class.
Ah, the wonders of living in a parallel universe where snowmen never melt! Places like Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand are chilling out with winter vibes in July.
Specta drones are not electronically compatible with anything but specta. Drones, batteries, controllers, nothing is compatible. Mechanical things like filters, props, landing gear, etc. are. I won't buy a Specta anymore though, the company is kinda sketchy and the support is off.
@@CCC0122 I believe there is a scan code in the instructions somewhere. It is simply called "specta" in the about section, but it doesn't surprise me that they don't have their stuff together, they seem a bit sketchy with the details on most everything.
@AlienDrones , I got nothing as far as instructions or a manual. Not even a QR code on a business card. I was thinking of trying a 3rd party app...?? Any suggestions or thoughts..?
@@CCC0122 s.cogito-techs.com/guide1 There's a little piece of paper stuck inside the box with the cable that has a little scan code on it. My honest advice though, you may want to consider the DJI mini 4k amzn.to/3X5IwGr or the Potensic ATOM amzn.to/46JMGXz instead, even if it is a touch more. This has been a frustrating experience for the last 6 months with Cogito with some things being down right sketchy, crappy support, like this app not being easy to find. It's really decent when it works, but the irritation might not be worth it long term... I ordered a Specta Air battery 3 different times on Amazon and I received a Specta Mini battery every time, never did get the Air battery, I gave up. Then they decided not to refund me once for a return (unopened box, they sent the wrong battery) and I had to get Amazon to step in and refund me, which they did. Just sketchy stuff. Just a thought.
I'm going to stay with DJI I'm really not interested in any other company drone. Because even the DJI logo on the drone is a awesome and amazing look. We have to keep fighting to keep DJI around. People are failing to realize that if you cannot rise up to a drone company and challenge them when they are dominating then you're not going to do anything better by corrupting the drone world with lining your pockets with lobbyists in Congress. Just think about how much it would make your company look good to build a drone and challenge the biggest company and then win customers over. Think of all the respect and drone honor you would receive.
Interesting little clone. It seemed to have quite adequate video. Being only $10 less than the DJI..... doesn't quite give the incentive. But interestingly enough, your studio video seemed off to me.
Off in what way? If you mean color/contrast, I did have a little oops with a picture profile camera setting using a new HLG/3 LUT and I boogered it a bit and found it afterwards, couldn't bring myself to record the entire session over. Did the best I could with what I had, hopefully it wasn't too distracting...
Specta Extra Batteries! specta mini spare batteries amzn.to/4cbjM3u , specta air battery amzn.to/4fxQpLG , apparently they sell out fast...
How is the night mode?
@@tupolevi Not the greatest. Sensor is just a bit small to give great clarity in low light.

@@AlienDronesThat is unfortunate. I hope I am not spreading misinformation by commenting that, and I will delete that comment.
@@creativecarveciteclimb5684 No worries, it's hard to know what's correct and current with so much BS out there...

Hello .Im from Brazil . I have a dji mini se and a mini 4 k . You is very good . Congratulation

Is specta just DJI in disguise?
I'm guessing now that's what the original duck comments were about...lol
🦆 😅
2 minutes in and I love it. 😂
🤙🤙
I just picked up the Specta Mini 4k on Amazon and paid $269. The DJI Mini 4k was priced at $309
No Geo Fencing would be the only reason to buy a Specta. They couldn't even manage to release that micro control. 😖

I'm impressed, The video looks a lot like my Mavic air 2. Isn't this company from China as well? Thanks for sharing Keith. 👍👍👍
Always great information
Where the heck do you have snow in July?
Ah, the wonders of living in a parallel universe where snowmen never melt! Places like Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand are chilling out with winter vibes in July.
Is ghat a way to hide DJI Brand for not being banned completely?
Awesome little drone.
Are specta drones compatible with DJI controls ? That could be super

Nice drone,but yes it needs improvement. Thankx for this video. I am looking for a new drone and this ones off my list.
🤙🤙
I like sounds good nice set up great footage
The fx9 Cooau I got from you do u know how the change meters tho feet 👣? Ty I can’t find anything in the app
If it’s Chinese might be no different than DJI. Does the ban apply to this drone as well?
Can we get Laanc approval to flight in zones what needs request authorization??
Yes, LAANC approval is not a problem.
Thank you Alien Drones
💯 on target all the way. More so on closing ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Cool video nice drone after awhile they all start to look the same
Comparing it with with DJI, would this be the mini 3 or mini 3 pro version?
11:10 question answered lol
Your studio camera keeps getting foggier, please clean the lens.
Yeah, had a problem. Cleaned it with my shirt tail twice since then, even used some light sandpaper to get the big pieces off...
I'm curious, what flying app should I use?
Specta App is the only one I'm aware of... Mine shows V 8.0.0
@AlienDrones , I looked on the play store and couldn't find any app called Specta...?

When was this originally recorded?
I think May, or late April.
Decent price
Oh @Alien Drones. I often wonder how many people mistaken you for Pedro Pascal!
Wait, is that why people keep asking for my autograph? Huh.
@@AlienDrones it is most definitely the reason why!!!!! 🤣
Why not compare it to DJI 4k ?
It IS the DJI 4K.
is specta a Chinese company? or is it an US/other country based company?
Too bad it doesn't have waypoints.

Smells like dji to me ,even remote looks the same 😅
I didn't think to smell it, but it might smell like a duck. 🦆 😉
Quack! 🦆

@@AlienDrones Your face seemed washed out and kind of low res. Not bad, just not your normal crisp video.
@@Leonardokite Yup, my fault. I learned what NOT to do when shooting for HLG/3 for sure. 😉
Nice! 🦊🐑👕👀
IT'S DJI trying to beat the system ! Makes things worse for them !!
But no spare batteries and no cross compatibility I’ve heard. 🥲I want one if they make spare drones batteries and remotes.
Indeed, they keep telling me "soon", but without the extra batteries it's a non-starter...
