Although the camera's not the best, this is a good safe drone for beginner fliers with a dependable GPS (remember to do the compass calibration). *Find it here* bit.ly/L900-Drone
And I've seen that video too. Take a closer look, as that video had been edited for stabilization. Notice the blurred look in the main portion, and the jerky movements near the outer edge of the frame in the other video.
@@Quadcopter101 I think this L900 is much the same on the inside as my L108(SG108). But the L108 is very well made. I feels premium. The camera is not that good either. Quite blurry. But no jello. And that perhaps is the difference. You can have the best camera you want, but if the drone is a bit flexible the video will suffer. Still, I like this L900 actually. It works! As does my L018. At first I thought it was a waste money. Poor video, short range. But I started to like it. A nice small drone to fly around a bit. It's not always about shooting video.
Thanks you for your response. I tried that and it worked perfectly. Tomorrow will be outside for a flight. I have 2 dji drones.they are amazing. This l900 was bought before. Again thanks
What's the best cheapish gyro receiver ESC transponder combo for a 2S - 3S drone ??? I've got 4 sunny sky drone motors like the size that comes on the AeroScout S 1.1m pusher prop plane. I've never built a drone but I've had several cheapos so I do have a bit of experience flying. I have a little E017. I want to build a decently fast drone though. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hi sir im from 🇵🇭 Philippines im one of your fan. My dream is to have a drone someday because i can't afford a drone like this.. If i have one. I will really take care of it and take it as a treasure.. More power for your channel and always take care.. You are my idol.
In the description on banggood it says transmitter will run for 3.5 hrs on a full charge. Then the range states 2000 meters. So if its gps AND can do of all that, comes with 2 batteries plus fly for 28 min, HELL YEAH this drone is worth it for $100! Only issue I see is the shaking of the video but without a gimbal that's to be expected especially in winds. Not sure what others expect for $100 but hey I might pick one of these up and I'm by no means a beginner.
I've seen the L900 for a lot cheaper with foam box and 1 battery. I think the SG108 is better. Video poor quality too but jello. It's very well made plastic. At first I thought it was wasted money. But I started to like it. Put it in your pocket to fly it around a bit. I wish there was one with EIS. Then there is the LU1. More expensive. But video look OK. Longer range. Next year people in Europe will need a license fro drones over 250 gram. So I expect Mini copies with gimbal soon.

Thank you Quadcopter 101 . I just purchased one of these drones from eBay a week ago and currently waiting from the post from China And I have not been able to find any review videos and of course I'm subscribed to your channel and what do you know there's the review I'm looking for . Merry Christmas and thanks again
this video was very helpful, i bought this drone as i discovered this video just as I was about to try using it ..very useful thank you sir you are a genius ..
Just ordered the L900 pro se max to fly other than my phantom 3 standard ; Like ur video on the L900 pro I hope later u will test the L900 pro se max they both look the same Accept the L900 pro se max has optical Avoidance would love to see u flight test the L900pro se max , I learned a lot of info from you,great job
I own the black model, and for beginners i have a few notes; To fly the drone forward, the right stick must be turned forward if the drone goes sideways, land it and try agian and turn it in the direction its going sideways in then you can kinda turn and stuff.
I have had two of these and both got lost in the same way. Each on the day was programmed to return to take off zone each had about five minutes flying then left sat at about 100feet in wind of about ten mile per hour. Both only to suddenly take off down wind. On hitting return to home they just kept going never to be seen again. Now afraid to buy a third one ????
hi Quadcopter 101 i bought one after watching your video but after 3 months flying, no more quadcopter, took it up the park yesterday morning. It was flying ok all the sudden when i pressed return home, it decided to elevate and elevate and elevate it went to 999m high on my control screen. I waited around hoping it might come down but it never did. It must have come down somewhere as the battery was almost flat. So sad as i just bought extra batteries for it. Don't know whether it was the remote control or the quadcopter to blame, even if I did get it back and I repaired it I wouldn't be going to fly it again because the electrics may do the same thing and I'll waste more money. Did something like that ever happen to you ? i like your videos especially when you are standing out in the cold, what dedication.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention. The controller on mine can run through about 5 or 6 full batteries in the quad. Even though it's is small on mAh it lasts really decent amount of fly time
Hey guys, what is the current best value drone for about 80 to 100 bucks? I've been away from this channel for some time now. A good drone with 2k recording capabilities? This one seems to have a crappy image.
SG906 Pro or Pro 2. Well it's a little over 100 dollar but not much. I really can't think of any other drone that has as good video for the same price.
I realize this is an old video, but these L900s are still available and I just bought one. One huge difference is they've done some sort of firmware update and now require a totally different flight app -- RX DRONE. Seems to be working okay for me but be aware all app features of this video are no longer applicable. I've been looking but haven't yet found a good review video of the current version L900 with RX DRONE. So I don't know what fancy gimmicks the app might provide, but don't typically use the various extra bells and whistles.
Hello sir , this review is where first heart of the L900 pro. I bought 2 of them . The first one arrived with the app manual that you have in the video. And I also use the h fun fly app although it doesn't connect on my phone so I use my roommates phone. Even though I do have the right wifi configuration. I will be getting a new phone this week either way. The second one arrived today and some things are different with this one. The controller is thicker and the fold out handles only open to 90 degrees of the controller. Also the app manual says to download drone rx . Do you know any thing about the different app. Actually I really like the way the drone RX app works with the drone better than h fun fly. It work also but not as good in my opinion. The controller is no big deal it works great and so do both drones. I have pushed the distance out to 1,100 meters and it returned flawlessly and super fast. The first time I couldn't see it come back and I thought ."oh no another fly away" lol but I thought I could hear it. I happened to look straight up and it was just beginning to descend. I got gray so it was harder to see. With the color and speed combination. Anyway if you have any idea why they recommend 2 different apps please let me know. Also I only got one battery. I ordered 2 spare batteries on eBay and got the 2 batteries for $15.99 plus tax with free shipping. I wanted to pass that along to others who only got one battery. One is not enough for sure. And I have never gotten 28 minutes but I usually fly at full speed. Which gives me about 16 minutes. Not bad at full speed and lots of manuevering. Thank you
Love the orange color. I always want a orange one but their like 1,500 or more. They do charge more for orange! Thinking about picking up the 3 battery package so I have more drones to trip over. : } Do not expect to buy more battery's for this, that will be a DYI for you in two years or less. I am impressed with its performance compared to my lower end GPS hubsan drones. I suggest searching for a old SOLO 3DR drone that's new or refurbished but that's $200 more and you will need to buy a camera. Hubsan has the sd card slot on most of them. The video is poor to fair, that maybe a disappointment. I do want a orange drone, Hum.... Yes or No? PS:
Hey quad 101. Another great video. I was wondering if you still used VSDC to put together your videos.. If yes, i was wondering if you could do a tut on how you splice, and line up your timeing's. e.i. both your phone screen and your drone video, to take off at the same time. I can't figure it out for anything. Thanks.
Notice when I do those sync up moves in the video. I use them as visual cues to line up the separate videos on the timelines so my voice matches my lip movement.
@@Quadcopter101 how about a tut video?? what version of VSDC are you using? I am using the latest. I am newbe at this. Only if you have some spare time sir.
Thank you for your video about the L900 Pro. I bought it after watching your review. It is a fun drone to fly. Very stable for a small budget drone. I was wondering if I can set height and distance limitations with an app. HFUN Pro app doesn't have that feature. Can I use a different app that does incorporate those features when flying this drone?
A friend of mine just ordered the L900. I want to build a decently fast 3S drone. Any suggestions for a receiver gyro ESC transponder combo would be much appreciated.
@@Quadcopter101 Thanks Quadcopter 101 I knew that however I was looking for a visual like you have in your vehicle/motorcycle showing the gear you are in. Thanks for the reply and subbed...OK
Hi. Very good explanation. Buy a drone the same. If the lights are flashing it means that it is not syncing correctly. I flew the Drone with the lights flashing, but it was not easy to fly, so I understand that I should fly it when the lights stop flashing. Thank you
Hey sir. Thanks for this video. I am really interested in purchasing this drone. However, you mentioned that one need to have a cellphone with 802.11ac capabilities. I have a Samsung J5 Prime that came out around September 2016. But the specs says that it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n( Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot). So I really am not sure if my phone will be able to work with this drone? I don't want to buy the drone then have to upgrade my phone as well. Also can one fly the drone with only the remote only without a cellphone? Also another question. Does one have to every time calibrate the drone upon a fresh start-up? Or between changing batteries? I hope you will answer me. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately your phone will not work with most WiFi drones these days. And you should redo the compass calibration each time that you fly in a new area, or notice instability of the drone in hover. I like to do it every time I change the battery to be safe.
@@Quadcopter101 ...thanks for your reply. Someone else that has the same drone says my phone will work with this drone. So it leaves me a bit confused with two different answers to this. Anyway, thanks for your response.
Hi Sir, it's a great review I have ever seen. I have also bought one L900 pro and it says the control distance is 1200 meter, but after 150 meter the video is lagging and completely freezed. Is there any way to make video transmission better (long distance video transmission without video lagging)? Can i use 5g wifi repeater? If yes could you please suggest me a good wifi range extender? Thanks 🙂
@UCc0_zqxU74vfkUSUUnOB5wQ i had a preo drone before . And my dad just broke it ... after like 1 year he bought me this . Preo drone was so cheap btw i bought it for 30usd total.
I drove motorcycle and car racing also boot racing my whole life is racing and I do many other sports...today I got this drone after one hour I barely figure out a short movement....I don't even know how but I had a few seconds fly and crash in my house , tomorrow I will go on a wide open spot , I will try not to lose the drone in the woods or ocean because this will be a short drone experience :-) You guys make it so easy and there is nobody which have drone experience . I have the feeling this is for people with play instinct ?
Thank you for your answer I have another question please How far can i Go with the dron? How far can I see the images of the camera? Kindly regards from Austria
@@Quadcopter101 ya man i try that drone in 2or3week banggood shipping say 2week but with the corona each order are long to receive in quebec i am from huntingdon quebec Canada i just fly drone less than 250g with the new Canadian regulations is little bit stupid the choice of nice machine i can fly are reduced to under250g for the cam mobius with rubber mount can be nice option for having better quality your new cfly 👌👍the footage looks nice
Hi. Can you please help me with the calibration? I've bought this L900 drone, but when I try to start calibrating it by pushing the left joystick button up and down, the green lights don't stop flashing! And as far as I know, they should stop flashing to do the following steps. Do you know what it could be? Thanks!
Hello quadcopter, i want to give my dad a drone for his birthday. i watched youre vid do you recommend this one or a other one around this price point?
You mean the L09 Pro? Well it is a better drone than the L900 for sure. 2-axis gimbal. Pretty decent video. 330 gram so not too big and heavy. But the camera does not completely tilt down. It's say 10 degrees short. So I'm not sure that is what you want? I can imagine it is better to have a camera tilted completely down to avoid reflections. My L108(SG108) camera will tilt down to the surface. Nice little drone to put in your pocket. Video isn't really sharp. But less jello than the L900. Not sure the camera is stable enough in the wind. Does the camera of the SG906 Pro or Pro2 point all the way down? That's the drone I would recommend for the price and video quality. Heavier drone with gimbal might do better over water when there is wind.
I used HFun Fly. But HFun Pro is suggested by the manufacturer. However, HFun Pro would freeze every time that I selected it to record video. HFun Fly did not, and seemed to work well with this drone.
On its maiden voyage, I managed to shatter one propller.... damn this thing is not very stable in even slight wind at all and was doing a roof inspection yet the gust sent it straight to the gut and shattered rear left propeller.... had to get a ladder to retrieve it too
Hi mate, how did you get the drone to stabilise so well?, I just got one and it doesn't stabilise at all, it just goes all over the place, appreciate your time, thanks
Did you calibrate the drone's compass as shown in the video? Also, make sure that the GPS is not turned off (also as discussed in the video). Finally, I recommend that you do not take off until you are receiving at least 9 satellites for GPS positioning to work. I usually wait until 11 satellites are being received for best position stabilization (in the video I was receiving 16)..
Very nice video I have a problem with that drone..it doesn't find any satellite.. when GPS on, motors doesn't start up. When GPS off motors start up. But the drone is without GPS
You need to be outdoors in an open area, away from trees and building. Also make sure to conduct the compass calibration as shown in this video. Finally, you will need to wait until you are receiving at least 9 satellites before attempting to take off.
Yes. It first needs to discover that it is no longer in China. But future flights should acquire satellites much more quicker now that it knows where in the world it is at.
Hi, I know it's not your problem but I bought this drone on ebay for my husband. Your video was great but I now know that the seller did not send a complete manual with the software page with QR code to calibrate the app to the drone and camera. Could you tell me how to get that page that has the qr code since the seller is not answering me anymore. Like I said , it's not your problem but I need someone's help. I would pay to get that software Portion of the manual. Thank you, Lori T
The recommended QR code app Hfun Pro did not work properly with my drone. Instead I used the "HFun Fly" app available on Google Play here play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hy.five&hl=en_US&gl=US and on the Apple App Store here apps.apple.com/us/app/hfun-fly/id1526117749 For instruction son how to use it, watch the video.
Hi, I'm sorry for the stupid question, but how do you land the drone? I tried using the top left button but it doesn't look so well without good gps signal. All the other attempts of landing (like decreasing the throttle) didn't work out so well and most of the times the drone ended up in complicated situations. It's our first drone and the manual is not very good for beginners. Thanks.
The top left button is GPS return to home landing, and should only be used with good GPS reception. This does not have automatic takeoff or landing button. You will need to land it manually by lowering the throttle, and holding the throttle down until the motor stops. As such, select an open and flat takeoff landing location without obstacles.
Real time video from the drone can be viewed and recorded (1080p @25fps) on your phone via WiFi and the "HFun Fly" app (I used HFun Fly as HFun Pro would not record video with my phone).
This is only available as a Mode 2 controller (left throttle stick). The Mode that's shown on the controller screen merely refers to the drone being in GPS or Optical Flow mode.
Good afternoon to you. May I ask you a questions. Each time when you use the drone. Do it need to synchronisation each time when you use it. I am new on this toy. It seen the GPS never able to get it signal. I had to off the GPS before it could fly. Thank you in advance.
Yes, you need to calibrate the compass as shown in the video. Also, make sure that you are outdoors in an open area. Being indoors, or near tall buildings or trees can block satellites signals to the GPS antenna.
Sir just a question. how do you achieve the non freezing video feed? because everytime i fly my drone the camera feed always freeze for a moment of time and then comes back
You need to stay close with the drone to avoid that from happening. This drone records to your phone via WiFi, instead of using an onboard memory card. If the WiFi reception becomes weak, the result will be frozen and lost video frames.
hola buenos dias me e comprado el drone L900 y no se como cambiar el modo vuelo mas lento esta en mode 2 y quiero cambiar al mode 1 y la ruedo LH no me deja al mode 1 que puedo acer dime como lo cambio un saludo gracias. para aprender a manejar mejor el drone
Lamentablemente, no creo que se pueda cambiar. No se menciona hacerlo en las instrucciones. También probé todas las combinaciones de interruptores que otros drones solían hacer, pero ninguna funcionó.
Hey! Can't tell why my drone, when controlling one remote control or one smartphone, after 5-10 minutes of flight does not obey and flies chaotically in different directions and after a few seconds sits down, you can say it just crashes into the ground about 50-100 meters from me? Thank you?
@@Quadcopter101 That's right, everything is just like yours. Today I flew, but controlled and calibrated only with the remote control. Again he fell from the full swing of about 30-40 meters from me and did not obey at all. Maybe this is a hitch? What did one remote control? I didn't think about it. It always turned out that it would rise above 50 meters or move away, which is not visible and all the return does not work. I tried the same story with one smartphone. I just thought you could control either a remote control or a smartphone. Didn't you manage separately?
Not bad (for the price) as a beginner's UAV. Lot's of jello though. Was out past your way earlier this week, as I made an "Erie Run" to Peninsula Dr. Was surprised how much Pa. is "locked down" compared to Oh. Well, hopefully, now that a couple different vaccines are out, it won't be long before all this lockdown nonsense is over. Have a good Christmas .. it might even be a White Christmas for you this year! Cheers!
@@MrPolymers LOL Good point. I sure don't expect them all to be a DJI, but even my $100 Snaptain SP650 has an SD slot and very acceptable video. Quadcopter 101, you keep doing what you're doing!
@@mdabusiyam I have the Tello. I researched the L900, but I don't actually own one. If you want a toy that you can fly indoors as well as outdoors, and you don't mind VERY limited range, then the Tello is ok. If you want something a bit more serious with much better range, but flies outdoors only, the L900 looks adequate.
I have a l900 se max and I'm using a Galaxy s10 but I get no smooth transmission. I have used the VR mode. The image on the smartphone constantly freezes, even when the drone is very close because I'm holding both in my hand. What's going wrong?
Performance can vary greatly between phone models. If possible, see if you can borrow a different model phone to see if the close in freezing still occurs. Also notice the thin white WiFi antenna protruding near the optical flow sensor. Try bending that downward 45 degrees to see if that may help also. By the way, if a different model phone works, you may be running too many apps in your background. Recommend doing a virus scan, and manually closing/uninstalling any unneeded apps that may be running without your knowledge.
Make sure that you're outside in an open area with a clear view of the sky. The first lockon may take up to 15 minutes for it to discover that it's no longer in China. But follow on lockons should be much quicker (about a minute).
Although the camera's not the best, this is a good safe drone for beginner fliers with a dependable GPS (remember to do the compass calibration). *Find it here* bit.ly/L900-Drone
Did you have stabilization on in the app? Better turn it off. I've seen this drone without the jello.
Nope, it was off. It may have something to do with the overcast day?
And I've seen that video too. Take a closer look, as that video had been edited for stabilization. Notice the blurred look in the main portion, and the jerky movements near the outer edge of the frame in the other video.

@@Quadcopter101 I guess you're right. Hopefully there will be pro version with a gimbal or EIS. I think the L900 and L108/SG108 derserve it.
I have to be dead honest here I've been watching you for about 8 years now and you taught me how to fly drones properly hats 🧢 off to you
Same here, since 2014. QC101 made learning to fly quads much easier.
Thanks you for your response. I tried that and it worked perfectly. Tomorrow will be outside for a flight. I have 2 dji drones.they are amazing. This l900 was bought before.
Again thanks

Hey guys I’m Max and I’m here in the land down under
Melbourne Australia I watch the QC101 drone test / review videos first every time I’m looking at a new drone or
To compare different drones to each other and find the quality of the reviews far better than most group chats
I find you cover the A to Z of the drone great job 👍🏼
I personally purchased 2x LYZRC L900 drones orange and black I got them for a steal each with 2x batteries
And get an average minimum of 50 minutes total with both batteries or using all 4 batteries 1 hour 40 min
Anyways to cut a long story short very reliable smooth flying and extremely accurate the gps has never failed with either drone
Features all work as they should just a solid little drone range is surprising the drone returns home when it hit around 1450 meters
I think that’s around 4750 feet the L900 is without a doubt my favorite entry level brushless gps drone
After paying $95 AUD on sale for both I would highly recommend this drone for beginners or even just for fun
Hope that helps anyone looking for a great starter drone .
Thank you. Great video. I just bought one and your video cleared up some things that that manual wasn't very clear on!
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. I have just ordered one of these drones with 3 batteries and as a total novice in relation to using a drone I found your video very helpful.
Great videos! Which one do you prefer? LYZRC L700 or LYZRC L900? I have seen you testing both but would love to know your opinion!
Thanks for reviewing! I like the color and LED lights underneath.
Another great video, thank you. Can you recommend a similiar GPS quadcopter which will record to an microSD card on board.
Just received this drone for Christmas. Couldn’t figure out how to operate effectively (instructions were horrible). Very nice video here. Thank you for taking the time to educate us.
Great video and even better attitude and friendly delivery!! You sir, are the reason UA-cam is such a good resource:).

Oh yeah I forgot to mention. The controller on mine can run through about 5 or 6 full batteries in the quad. Even though it's is small on mAh it lasts really decent amount of fly time
Hey guys, what is the current best value drone for about 80 to 100 bucks? I've been away from this channel for some time now. A good drone with 2k recording capabilities? This one seems to have a crappy image.
SG906 Pro or Pro 2. Well it's a little over 100 dollar but not much. I really can't think of any other drone that has as good video for the same price.
I realize this is an old video, but these L900s are still available and I just bought one. One huge difference is they've done some sort of firmware update and now require a totally different flight app -- RX DRONE. Seems to be working okay for me but be aware all app features of this video are no longer applicable. I've been looking but haven't yet found a good review video of the current version L900 with RX DRONE. So I don't know what fancy gimmicks the app might provide, but don't typically use the various extra bells and whistles.
I bought the new version of L700 two months ago, but it's wi-fi is no longer discoverable. Please any advice on how to fix it.
Great information and explanations .... now i'm flying my L900... Thank You.
Hello sir , this review is where first heart of the L900 pro. I bought 2 of them . The first one arrived with the app manual that you have in the video. And I also use the h fun fly app although it doesn't connect on my phone so I use my roommates phone. Even though I do have the right wifi configuration. I will be getting a new phone this week either way. The second one arrived today and some things are different with this one. The controller is thicker and the fold out handles only open to 90 degrees of the controller. Also the app manual says to download drone rx . Do you know any thing about the different app. Actually I really like the way the drone RX app works with the drone better than h fun fly. It work also but not as good in my opinion. The controller is no big deal it works great and so do both drones. I have pushed the distance out to 1,100 meters and it returned flawlessly and super fast. The first time I couldn't see it come back and I thought ."oh no another fly away" lol but I thought I could hear it. I happened to look straight up and it was just beginning to descend. I got gray so it was harder to see. With the color and speed combination. Anyway if you have any idea why they recommend 2 different apps please let me know. Also I only got one battery. I ordered 2 spare batteries on eBay and got the 2 batteries for $15.99 plus tax with free shipping. I wanted to pass that along to others who only got one battery. One is not enough for sure. And I have never gotten 28 minutes but I usually fly at full speed. Which gives me about 16 minutes. Not bad at full speed and lots of manuevering. Thank you
Love the orange color. I always want a orange one but their like 1,500 or more. They do charge more for orange! Thinking about picking up the 3 battery package so I have more drones to trip over. : } Do not expect to buy more battery's for this, that will be a DYI for you in two years or less. I am impressed with its performance compared to my lower end GPS hubsan drones. I suggest searching for a old SOLO 3DR drone that's new or refurbished but that's $200 more and you will need to buy a camera. Hubsan has the sd card slot on most of them. The video is poor to fair, that maybe a disappointment. I do want a orange drone, Hum.... Yes or No? PS:
Thank you for a good review! How do I land on it? Just drop down to the ground and it will shut down?
Great video. Thanks for uploading. I intend to buy one. How much time did you find the remote control works after a single charge?
Hey quad 101. Another great video. I was wondering if you still used VSDC to put together your videos.. If yes, i was wondering if you could do a tut on how you splice, and line up your timeing's. e.i. both your phone screen and your drone video, to take off at the same time. I can't figure it out for anything. Thanks.
Notice when I do those sync up moves in the video. I use them as visual cues to line up the separate videos on the timelines so my voice matches my lip movement.
@@Quadcopter101 how about a tut video?? what version of VSDC are you using? I am using the latest. I am newbe at this. Only if you have some spare time sir.
Thank you for your video about the L900 Pro. I bought it after watching your review. It is a fun drone to fly. Very stable for a small budget drone. I was wondering if I can set height and distance limitations with an app. HFUN Pro app doesn't have that feature. Can I use a different app that does incorporate those features when flying this drone?
Would you recommend L900 over Tello?
@@mdabusiyam i would, tello has no gps, and only has a range of about 30 metres
@@mdabusiyam l900 pro is much better
Pretty good drone to learn to fly. I like the color, because mostly are black or white.
I agree. Most other GPS drones near this price range have GPS toilet bowl effect or flyaway issues. This one seems pretty reliable in that area.

Seems like a decent flyer but just wish these budget camera drones could at least eliminate most of the Jello and shakes but they never do.
Hi..Great video...Thank you for that.....What size to you have on mobile ??..6 inch ?? more ???
6"
thank you for teaching the right way.
Great Review!
But personally Dji Tello is the best in this price Range only with a small comprimise
A friend of mine just ordered the L900. I want to build a decently fast 3S drone. Any suggestions for a receiver gyro ESC transponder combo would be much appreciated.
Hey Quadcopter 101. Question?
How do you know from the app which speed the drone is set to? Is there any representation on the app showing such?
The horizontal speed of the drone is the "H" number shown in the top portion of the app's screen.
@@Quadcopter101 Thanks Quadcopter 101 I knew that however I was looking for a visual like you have in your vehicle/motorcycle showing the gear you are in. Thanks for the reply and subbed...OK
Hi. Very good explanation. Buy a drone the same. If the lights are flashing it means that it is not syncing correctly. I flew the Drone with the lights flashing, but it was not easy to fly, so I understand that I should fly it when the lights stop flashing. Thank you
you need calibration frequency on controler and compas and gyroscope before flight, without this fly is crazy
Hey sir. Thanks for this video. I am really interested in purchasing this drone. However, you mentioned that one need to have a cellphone with 802.11ac capabilities. I have a Samsung J5 Prime that came out around September 2016. But the specs says that it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n( Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot). So I really am not sure if my phone will be able to work with this drone? I don't want to buy the drone then have to upgrade my phone as well. Also can one fly the drone with only the remote only without a cellphone?
Also another question. Does one have to every time calibrate the drone upon a fresh start-up? Or between changing batteries?
I hope you will answer me. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately your phone will not work with most WiFi drones these days. And you should redo the compass calibration each time that you fly in a new area, or notice instability of the drone in hover. I like to do it every time I change the battery to be safe.
@@Quadcopter101 ...thanks for your reply. Someone else that has the same drone says my phone will work with this drone. So it leaves me a bit confused with two different answers to this. Anyway, thanks for your response.
Hi Sir, it's a great review I have ever seen. I have also bought one L900 pro and it says the control distance is 1200 meter, but after 150 meter the video is lagging and completely freezed. Is there any way to make video transmission better (long distance video transmission without video lagging)?
Can i use 5g wifi repeater? If yes could you please suggest me a good wifi range extender?
Thanks 🙂
I hate not being answered😡. (So hopefully you get this and answer LOLZ)
Have you sorted the issue?
I'm thinking about one of these.
Save and Buy a quality drone. Don't waste any money trying to make a budget drone better.
Hi, What smartphone you used in this video? I want to use small 8 inch tablet and I like your idea as you put your smartphone to controller. Tnx
I use a rubber band. But a tablet is quite large. I'm not sure a rubber band would be enough.
Hi sir!i love your drone unboxing videos can i ask you somthing?What is the best drone for price (around 70-75$)and camera and battery life?
That is really cheap. Better spend a little more on a SG906 Pro 2 or something.
I bought fimi a3 is that good?
@@hvlix3417 Oh yes. I have one. Great drone. Good choice.

Great video with lots of info. Thanks i ordered one and subscribed👍🏻
Hi from Austria. very good video, thank you. How is the name of the app you are using?
I used the "HFun Fly" app.
Nice video mate, I just bought it as my first drone so I hope I don’t crash it, at lest I saw how you operate it like a pro, Cheers from Mexico
How Is this drone doing for you?
@@theomorah5660 it was got to learn, now I’m using a Mavic Mini 2 SE which is way better
I drove motorcycle and car racing also boot racing my whole life is racing and I do many other sports...today I got this drone after one hour I barely figure out a short movement....I don't even know how but I had a few seconds fly and crash in my house , tomorrow I will go on a wide open spot , I will try not to lose the drone in the woods or ocean because this will be a short drone experience :-) You guys make it so easy and there is nobody which have drone experience . I have the feeling this is for people with play instinct ?
Notice that I'm flying in a large open field, away from people. I strongly recommend as a beginner drone pilot that you do the same.
Finally I found good drone for beginners
Can you review the L500
Thank you for your answer
I have another question please
How far can i Go with the dron?
How far can I see the images of the camera?
Kindly regards from Austria
I'd guess about a couple hundred meters.
is the quality of the drone body of sg907 pro better than this one? As this L900 has cheap plastic which is easily broken?
Hello superman nice video I wait my l900 looks nice and is low cost brushless drone I want install gopro 3 on it do you think he can lifting gopro??
I doubt it. It would be difficult to lift it with this smaller drone.
@@Quadcopter101 ya man i try that drone in 2or3week banggood shipping say 2week but with the corona each order are long to receive in quebec i am from huntingdon quebec Canada i just fly drone less than 250g with the new Canadian regulations is little bit stupid the choice of nice machine i can fly are reduced to under250g for the cam mobius with rubber mount can be nice option for having better quality your new cfly 👌👍the footage looks nice
Hi. Can you please help me with the calibration? I've bought this L900 drone, but when I try to start calibrating it by pushing the left joystick button up and down, the green lights don't stop flashing! And as far as I know, they should stop flashing to do the following steps. Do you know what it could be? Thanks!
Try using the app. See the above video starting at 15:10
Sir. .how about altitude this drone can fly ?
How far is the drone, sir?
Hello quadcopter,
i want to give my dad a drone for his birthday. i watched youre vid do you recommend this one or a other one around this price point?
Yes, at its price point and with its capabilities, this makes a good beginners first drone.
Can you do a video and show how much weight it can lift ? Please
please do a L500 drone review!
J'aime beaucoup vos vidéos et votre bonne humeur!

Good morning, please tell me if the RADIO is MODE 1 OR MODE 2 ? Tnk1000.
Hi, i love watching you chanell. Would you recommend this for drone fishing or the L109? I want to throw some small bait out on a beach.
You mean the L09 Pro? Well it is a better drone than the L900 for sure. 2-axis gimbal. Pretty decent video. 330 gram so not too big and heavy. But the camera does not completely tilt down. It's say 10 degrees short. So I'm not sure that is what you want? I can imagine it is better to have a camera tilted completely down to avoid reflections.
My L108(SG108) camera will tilt down to the surface. Nice little drone to put in your pocket. Video isn't really sharp. But less jello than the L900. Not sure the camera is stable enough in the wind.
Does the camera of the SG906 Pro or Pro2 point all the way down? That's the drone I would recommend for the price and video quality. Heavier drone with gimbal might do better over water when there is wind.
Hi. I am planning to try taking a fishing line out with an L900 this weekend, around 80m out. Initial tests indicates it can carry around 50g easily.
@@devn9477 was it a successful fishing line deployment?
@@djquestionthis Yes, just as long as the payload is under 50g and not windy.. I was able to drop the line at around 200m offshore.

Hello! Can the transmitter of the LYZRC L900 PRO drone be switched to Mode 1 (right throttle)?
Один из лучших обзоров на youtube!
hi sir i just wanna ask if what app did you use to test the l900?
thank you so much
I used HFun Fly. But HFun Pro is suggested by the manufacturer. However, HFun Pro would freeze every time that I selected it to record video. HFun Fly did not, and seemed to work well with this drone.
@@Quadcopter101 thank you sir just bought one as my beginners drone
On its maiden voyage, I managed to shatter one propller.... damn this thing is not very stable in even slight wind at all and was doing a roof inspection yet the gust sent it straight to the gut and shattered rear left propeller.... had to get a ladder to retrieve it too
Do you remember how many satellites you were receiving when this happened?
Hi mate, how did you get the drone to stabilise so well?, I just got one and it doesn't stabilise at all, it just goes all over the place, appreciate your time, thanks
Did you calibrate the drone's compass as shown in the video? Also, make sure that the GPS is not turned off (also as discussed in the video). Finally, I recommend that you do not take off until you are receiving at least 9 satellites for GPS positioning to work. I usually wait until 11 satellites are being received for best position stabilization (in the video I was receiving 16)..
@@Quadcopter101 hello sir..how do you select mode 1 and mode 2..?tnx..
what is better to buy l900 or f10 drone
Very nice video
I have a problem with that drone..it doesn't find any satellite.. when GPS on, motors doesn't start up. When GPS off motors start up. But the drone is without GPS
You need to be outdoors in an open area, away from trees and building. Also make sure to conduct the compass calibration as shown in this video. Finally, you will need to wait until you are receiving at least 9 satellites before attempting to take off.
@@Quadcopter101 thank you. It found 11 satellites after two hours!! Everything okay!!
Yes. It first needs to discover that it is no longer in China. But future flights should acquire satellites much more quicker now that it knows where in the world it is at.
@@Quadcopter101 exactly!! Thank you for your support. Have a nice day
Hi, I know it's not your problem but I bought this drone on ebay for my husband. Your video was great but I now know that the seller did not send a complete manual with the software page with QR code to calibrate the app to the drone and camera. Could you tell me how to get that page that has the qr code since the seller is not answering me anymore. Like I said , it's not your problem but I need someone's help. I would pay to get that software Portion of the manual.
Thank you, Lori T
The recommended QR code app Hfun Pro did not work properly with my drone. Instead I used the "HFun Fly" app available on Google Play here play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hy.five&hl=en_US&gl=US and on the Apple App Store here apps.apple.com/us/app/hfun-fly/id1526117749 For instruction son how to use it, watch the video.
Hi, I'm sorry for the stupid question, but how do you land the drone? I tried using the top left button but it doesn't look so well without good gps signal. All the other attempts of landing (like decreasing the throttle) didn't work out so well and most of the times the drone ended up in complicated situations. It's our first drone and the manual is not very good for beginners. Thanks.
The top left button is GPS return to home landing, and should only be used with good GPS reception. This does not have automatic takeoff or landing button. You will need to land it manually by lowering the throttle, and holding the throttle down until the motor stops. As such, select an open and flat takeoff landing location without obstacles.
Can I ask um what is the app you can use and how can operate the camera to recording video or take a picture sir?
Real time video from the drone can be viewed and recorded (1080p @25fps) on your phone via WiFi and the "HFun Fly" app (I used HFun Fly as HFun Pro would not record video with my phone).
Very good video, How change mode 1 to mode 2 in radio controller?
Thanks.
This is only available as a Mode 2 controller (left throttle stick). The Mode that's shown on the controller screen merely refers to the drone being in GPS or Optical Flow mode.
@@Quadcopter101 On the radio control, can I change from mode 2 to mode 1?
What button do I press to do this?
Thanks.
No, you can not. Mode 2 only.
That's a cool drone I like it remember the wltoys Cessna 182 3 channel airplane that's the one I'm getting
Good afternoon to you. May I ask you a questions. Each time when you use the drone. Do it need to synchronisation each time when you use it. I am new on this toy. It seen the GPS never able to get it signal. I had to off the GPS before it could fly. Thank you in advance.
Yes, you need to calibrate the compass as shown in the video. Also, make sure that you are outdoors in an open area. Being indoors, or near tall buildings or trees can block satellites signals to the GPS antenna.
@@Quadcopter101 Thank you so much for d advice
What is the difference between the L900&L108?
Just purchased this drone but can't connect to WiFi as mine is 4g do you need 5g
What is better to buy l900 or s604?
does this have phone control feature like flying without remote?
Sir just a question. how do you achieve the non freezing video feed? because everytime i fly my drone the camera feed always freeze for a moment of time and then comes back
You need to stay close with the drone to avoid that from happening. This drone records to your phone via WiFi, instead of using an onboard memory card. If the WiFi reception becomes weak, the result will be frozen and lost video frames.
Hi dear , which drone would you recommend , the Echine EX5 ore LYZRC L900

Hey! Can't tell why my drone, when controlling one remote control or one smartphone, after 5-10 minutes of flight does not obey and flies chaotically in different directions and after a few seconds sits down, you can say it just crashes into the ground about 50-100 meters from me? Thank you?
Did you complete the compass calibration as shown in the video?
@@Quadcopter101 That's right, everything is just like yours. Today I flew, but controlled and calibrated only with the remote control. Again he fell from the full swing of about 30-40 meters from me and did not obey at all. Maybe this is a hitch? What did one remote control? I didn't think about it. It always turned out that it would rise above 50 meters or move away, which is not visible and all the return does not work. I tried the same story with one smartphone. I just thought you could control either a remote control or a smartphone. Didn't you manage separately?
Not bad (for the price) as a beginner's UAV. Lot's of jello though. Was out past your way earlier this week, as I made an "Erie Run" to Peninsula Dr. Was surprised how much Pa. is "locked down" compared to Oh.

@@MrPolymers LOL Good point. I sure don't expect them all to be a DJI, but even my $100 Snaptain SP650 has an SD slot and very acceptable video. Quadcopter 101, you keep doing what you're doing!
Which one should I buy? DJI Tello or L900 Pro?
@@mdabusiyam I have the Tello. I researched the L900, but I don't actually own one. If you want a toy that you can fly indoors as well as outdoors, and you don't mind VERY limited range, then the Tello is ok. If you want something a bit more serious with much better range, but flies outdoors only, the L900 looks adequate.
I have a l900 se max and I'm using a Galaxy s10 but I get no smooth transmission. I have used the VR mode. The image on the smartphone constantly freezes, even when the drone is very close because I'm holding both in my hand. What's going wrong?
Performance can vary greatly between phone models. If possible, see if you can borrow a different model phone to see if the close in freezing still occurs. Also notice the thin white WiFi antenna protruding near the optical flow sensor. Try bending that downward 45 degrees to see if that may help also.
By the way, if a different model phone works, you may be running too many apps in your background. Recommend doing a virus scan, and manually closing/uninstalling any unneeded apps that may be running without your knowledge.
Range test?? 🤗
Hi. How long i should wait to catch satellites?
Make sure that you're outside in an open area with a clear view of the sky. The first lockon may take up to 15 minutes for it to discover that it's no longer in China. But follow on lockons should be much quicker (about a minute).
