Yeah man I've had the Drone for I don't know little over a year maybe and it's solid I haven't had too many problems with it besides the fact that it doesn't go too far with out losing wifi.
Excellent! You are a natural. Thank you for this. Helped greatly with my F11--everything you touched on is not clear out of box. Your delivery and pace are perfect, you ooze the truth (without acting superior or condescending like most drone reviewers), your review is intelligent and clear layperson talk, you hit every correct point in the proper order, and most important, you tell people exactly what they need to hear. Top drawer!
I found this video to be the most helpful. Informative and easy to understand. It's my go-to when I forget how to program my drone for flight. And this guy just made an all-around good vid that I still do not mind watching all the way through thank you very much!
I have this drone ..... it’s amazing and very well built ... feels like a more expensive drone. I’m hearing that there’s going to be a new version with a 2 axis gimbal, if that’s correct then this will blow all completion out the air for the price. a stable drone and stable video footage .... well done mate like your honest review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As an inveterate outdoorsman and technophile at age 68, I finally decided to purchase a quadcopter after waiting for several years for prices to come down to a reasonable level. After looking at numerous videos and print material on serious entry level drones, I decided on the F11. Your video is perhaps the best I've seen. Good intro and demonstration with no-nonsense instructions. Definitely worth a like and subscribe.
i just found one at the thrift for 20$ did some research on it and now im going to order the controller so i can test it out. Thank you for the review helped out a lot.
SOS: I have kept it in storage for a year. It was called Ruko then. It powers up ok ..I don't see the view through the cam on-screen, even if I can control the flight. I wonder if the camera is working - I don't see any on/off buttons anywhere. 😬 These things having both a proprietary remote controller and your phone working in tandem depend on a lot working together.
Well done review, detailed with good remarks. I've reviewed quite a few on this Drone, 4.9 on well done. Great review. Thanks for the indents, and extra remarks.
Shift the speed to high. It will "get it... " especially into a wind. Little hard on batteries but not too bad. It's strong.. With 2 lights on the batteries it will head back home. You can push it out but it keeps heading back. With one light left it says to heck with you and comes back and lands on its own. Also I was surprised the first night flight. When batteries get low the lights switch to red and white flashing instead of blue and white steady. It's easy to see at night. White coming at you blue going away.. I'm having a ball with it. Drones love trees. And trees love drones They get together when ever they can. Haha
Good video. Mine is flying away and not responding to the right joystick. Had to retrieve it a couple of times it hit trees near a park where I was trying it out. Did this several times.
Bought on 2 weeks ago. It is definitely NOT a toy, and it hurts like hell if it hits you. Trust me. I am new to drones, it takes a while to become familiar and comfortable with flight controls and flying.
Nice clear video. Right down to the point in simple terms. I have been trying to decide which drone to buy as my very first drone. This one looks good. Also I do not where you are located but the scenery is awesome.
This drone is good for wind,it moves around because it dosent have an optical flow sensor but it would handle wind better than alot of drones.its rated better than my mavic mini for wind.generally the bigger the drone the better the wind handling.
Hi there! I am a new real estate agent. Would you recommend this video for doing some videos of the exterior of my homes. You think the quality is up to par? Thank you.
For real estate home pictures I would recommend getting a drone with a attachable camera ( GoPro) you will get better picture quality but it will be a little more difficult to change angles since you have to move and position the drone for the angles of the camera
Awesome you’re amazing a really big help! I got the 22 last week and totally new to this snd getting hooked real fast! 1 question: I have a hard time keeping the drone hovering at the same spot. Even if it’s not windy at all he keeps moving left-right, as I said im brand new with this, is there a trick or a button I dont know about? 😂 thanks!
These things are one tough SOB.. I got mine 2 weeks ago and have crashed it about 5 times and it's not even fazed. I guess that's why it's a fold up because where it's for beginners they figure you will crash it and the fold up part offers it cushion.
If you load the app while not connected to the drone, then click on the map it will download the full Google earth map for where you are. Then reconnect to the drones WiFi and enjoy landmarks 👌
I have a question I can't get my phone to find the wifi at all I've tried dozens of times is it because my home wifi is turned on? You said something about interference problems
Just got this for my birthday. Super fun! But every video I take stops at about :11 seconds and then there is no camera view showing on the app on my iPhone. I’m flying it close to my home so I turned off the Wi-Fi Auto Join function thinking perhaps that was interfering. It wasn’t. Now I’m wondering if it’s because I’m not saving to an SD card?? Any ideas?
My first drone was more of a toy. The handling was awful and the camera footage was absolutely garbage. Thank you for this video, now I can finally get a decent drone without being scammed.
Excellent review! Can you explain the “return home” altitude? Beginner mode is 25. What does that mean? If your at 100 and hit RTH, does it drop to 25 and then come home? In your demo, it flew directly overhead while staying at 118, and then came down. Thanks
Thanks for the awesome demonstration I have the drone and so far away like I did buy it on Wish it did take me about a month to get to me but definitely goodbye
Load Ruko Drone. App New in Sept 2020.. For f11. Works great. Save local map in maps for way point. Turn off beginner mode for waypoints out to 300 yards. Also make sure WiFi is hooked up. Hover and set waypoints.away she goes.
There is no microphone. No audio. Most drones have no audio, as while its flying all you would hear is the buzzing of the props. So audio would me useless.
@@juliesolomon2347 Cool. I probably won't exceed that altitude either. I got mine over a week ago but I haven't been able to fly it yet. I live in Oklahoma and have to wait for the wind to stop blowing.
That's the same two I am stuck on. Im getting the Ruku F11 Pro delivered tomorrow. However, I am still undecided on if I really want the DJI Mavic mini. Let me know what you decide maybe it will help me persuade me into getting the right one.....lol
Just got this and it broke on its first flight after flying into a tree. Despite being calibrated as per their instructions the thing seemed to fly entirely of its own accord. Very slow response to controls and seemed to change front back orientation at random. I tried fly by camera and that didn't help either
Yes, in days gone by, we use to call this method line control. Tie it to a set of long cords and swing it around yourself quickly. With a little practice you can do loops or even reverse direction going straight up and over the top. Hope you get a phone the experience is awesome.
I was expecting more distance than 80mtrs after watching other clips on here of others using the SJR11 Drones on here which the distance looks a Great deal more than 80mtrs.
Hi, I have the F11 and it's a great drone but I lose the picture on my phone once it goes past around 200 metres. Is that normal? I've tried airplane mode, mobile data off but still the same. I am flying it from my back garden over residential area so don't know if that has any bearing. My phone is the Huawei P20 Pro. Thnx
Yeah it's the same for me, especially when flying around a neighborhood with more interference. Try finding a lake or remote area and you'll get some more range out of it.
@@GearKnowHow ok cool cheers. DronesGator ok cool cheers. Which drone would you recommend as the next step up where that wouldn't be an issue? I'm only an enthusiast that uses it for holidays or messing around with. Mavic Mini?
I have the Tello. Poor camera (low resolution, jumpy image), drone blows around in one mph wind. Pro: no registration. Edit: don't leave batteries stored for months,: 2 of 3 had died permanently.. Also, I had a lot of trouble making it work with my Samsung S10. The app as downloaded was missing a few features too. They told me they were incompatible (did I reach an iPhone fanboy I wondered)?
Bought one in july ..using it 3 or 4 times a week. Now taking it out of sight toutinly. FPV out to 600 meters on flat ground. It's a rugged drone.. I now use the waypoints a lot it really is idiot proof. Don't be an idiot. Read the directions several times. Tie it down on top of a cooler. Practice the set up in the house. Do not fly in the house. Tie it down and do the map stuff etc until you get it figured out.
Way point works great if you open maps and let it find you before you do anything. Then use satilite view. Leave maps open. Set your Wi-Fi and open the drone app. Now you have good map in the waypoints box. 300 meter radius red circle. Take out of beginners mode.
willy my bad, yes it has a gyro for the quad motors to help keep it flying flat and semi stable but what it doesn’t have is a camera gimbal for advanced stabilization shots like more expensive drones
32 degrees F to 104 degrees F...that being said I flew this one in the 20s in Oregon without any issues, but I can see extreme temps not being friendly to battery life and performance overall.

Hi, I liked your review on Ruko F11 Pro 4k. I like to know if the app was updated and, the kinks were resolved.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I just got this drone. Thanks for the video bro. I’m excited to fly it.
Very nice i love drones
Muchas gracias for ur info
Thanks amigo👍👍
just found your video mate, fantastic thank you from Australia
Very informative video! Thank you!! FYI, you don’t have to spin, just rotate the drone by hand..Please make more videos.
I got one for 150 dollars and it’s 1080p and there’s a white version and it’s amazing
hey dude thanks for the video! Really good video! You have a lot more descriptions then the company videos!

Drones love trees.
And trees love drones
They get together when ever they can. Haha
You should try it with the signal boosters. (foil covered cups for behind tha antenna)
Good video. Mine is flying away and not responding to the right joystick. Had to retrieve it a couple of times it hit trees near a park where I was trying it out. Did this several times.
Depends on the state. You don't have to register drones in Utah.
great video..I just recieved mine today and flew with my youngest daughter.it was amazing!
Hi. How change the camera focus ? Put up or down the camera focus ?
What button or control to change se camera record or pictures
Bought on 2 weeks ago. It is definitely NOT a toy, and it hurts like hell if it hits you. Trust me. I am new to drones, it takes a while to become familiar and comfortable with flight controls and flying.
just got one. thanks dude. great review and walk through!!
Great vid! Are you able to grab the drone while hovering and turn of the motors quickly?
Hi I have just purchased this drone but the camera does not seem to tilt the full 90 degrees. Any ideas. Great instructions thanx.
You were great! I will watch again and learn even more
Thanks!!
I really enjoyed this video. I’ve learned a lot as a beginner. 😍 Thank you for this. 🙏🏻😇

Hi there! I am a new real estate agent. Would you recommend this video for doing some videos of the exterior of my homes. You think the quality is up to par? Thank you.
I think it would be perfect for short range.. 720p video. Gets a solid 20-25mins
For real estate home pictures I would recommend getting a drone with a attachable camera ( GoPro) you will get better picture quality but it will be a little more difficult to change angles since you have to move and position the drone for the angles of the camera

It’s really a great beginner drone! I have another drone that I’m testing out for review now as well. Stay tuned!
Next to figure out the video camera.
Hi . I see "Micro Icon" (bottom right) at 10:40 . can it record sound ?
If you load the app while not connected to the drone, then click on the map it will download the full Google earth map for where you are. Then reconnect to the drones WiFi and enjoy landmarks 👌
Bought one of these my only gripe is that I don't like the way the image curves at top n bottom when moving while filming as in my vids
Thank you for an awesome review, I'll purchase immediately.
I have a question I can't get my phone to find the wifi at all I've tried dozens of times is it because my home wifi is turned on? You said something about interference problems
Instead landing on the grass, I can grab? Why I asking this? Because the ground is wet or kayaking on the lake.
Yes you can
@@GearKnowHow okay,how about a controller? Do I have to stop power?

My first drone was more of a toy. The handling was awful and the camera footage was absolutely garbage. Thank you for this video, now I can finally get a decent drone without being scammed.
Great video!
Is it possible to enlarge the flying range by upgrading to different antenas? are there any compatible which such remote?

If the drone loses signal or the batteries are low, it'll return to 25m
Thanks for the awesome demonstration I have the drone and so far away like I did buy it on Wish it did take me about a month to get to me but definitely goodbye

great video thanks for the tips. will it return automatically if the battery runs low?
Yes and it has a warning pop up on screen
Love the beanie bro!
Love this I got one really fun for exploring
Thank you. Great review.
GOOD REVIEW
Can u help me??..I connect everything, but in my phone nathing work, I need 5g to connect with my phone????
What happens if there is a object in the way of the “Return home” path.
Its return home trip gets cut short
Load Ruko Drone. App New in Sept 2020.. For f11.
Works great. Save local map in maps for way point. Turn off beginner mode for waypoints out to 300 yards.
Also make sure WiFi is hooked up. Hover and set waypoints.away she goes.
Hello. What is the requirements for smartphone to pair with the drone? Thanks in advance
Hello, I have the same drone dam, but I cannot find the serial number of this product. Please help
How do you enable the microphone feature on the video? I have no audio on my drone.
There is no microphone. No audio. Most drones have no audio, as while its flying all you would hear is the buzzing of the props. So audio would me useless.
I might pick this drone over DJI drones..
Point to point, you should be w teacher. Great video
Brilliant 👍
Hey, I'm having trouble getting the camera to work. Any help would be nice.
Make sure wi fi is connected in your phone. ( 5 G ) dual wifi phone
Does the software prevent you from going higher than 120m? Or can you bypass that?
Yes, I haven't been able to bypass it. It's an FAA regulation for a max altitude for drones.
Brandon Smith my B2w goes up 500 Meters I just don't go that high
@@juliesolomon2347 Cool. I probably won't exceed that altitude either. I got mine over a week ago but I haven't been able to fly it yet. I live in Oklahoma and have to wait for the wind to stop blowing.

Would you guys recommend this drone or the DJI magic mini for real estate videos?

Very slow response to controls and seemed to change front back orientation at random. I tried fly by camera and that didn't help either
Great video man! Those Chinese sure know how to make a drone..
Can you fly this without a phone?
Yes, in days gone by, we use to call this method line control. Tie it to a set of long cords and swing it around yourself quickly. With a little practice you can do loops or even reverse direction going straight up and over the top. Hope you get a phone the experience is awesome.
I have this drone. It’s awesome
does the phone holder hold a huge Iphone the X Max?
So the range isn't really like 4,000 ft like it says?

Can you change the settings from meters to feet
Not that I can find
Can you put a link plz
Someone please give me a detail message about how to connect mine to wifi I've been using mine manually 😭
sjrc f11 or dji tello???
can't choose..
I have the Tello. Poor camera (low resolution, jumpy image), drone blows around in one mph wind. Pro: no registration. Edit: don't leave batteries stored for months,: 2 of 3 had died permanently..
Also, I had a lot of trouble making it work with my Samsung S10. The app as downloaded was missing a few features too. They told me they were incompatible (did I reach an iPhone fanboy I wondered)?
I can’t fly my drone it shows me waiting for GPS signal do you know why ? Do i need Memory Card to fly my drone?
No GPS? Are you on earth? Seriously, possibly defective gps unit. Pickup a cheap SD card.
What music is that
I tried to calibrate it in my house can't motors don't start
Wersion 1080p ?
Yep
Sir ji ye dron kitne kilomete chala jata hai
I cant get the sound to record, but I love it.
There is no audio on this or most drones.
Most drones dont have sound..you can put things on it tho
Super nice...🙏🙏🙏👍🙏🙏
what do you do if you lose the wifi?
Hit the home button on the remote and it'll come right back
Good viewing
Bought one in july ..using it 3 or 4 times a week. Now taking it out of sight toutinly.
FPV out to 600 meters on flat ground. It's a rugged drone.. I now use the waypoints a lot it really is idiot proof. Don't be an idiot.
Read the directions several times. Tie it down on top of a cooler. Practice the set up in the house. Do not fly in the house. Tie it down and do the map stuff etc until you get it figured out.
Way point works great if you open maps and let it find you before you do anything. Then use satilite view. Leave maps open. Set your Wi-Fi and open the drone app. Now you have good map in the waypoints box. 300 meter radius red circle. Take out of beginners mode.
Um, why does footage look shaky and blurry. Kinda bad footage?
No built-in stabilizing gyroscope in a budget drone like this, but my next drone review is in the works and that one has a gyro, stay tuned.
willy my bad, yes it has a gyro for the quad motors to help keep it flying flat and semi stable but what it doesn’t have is a camera gimbal for advanced stabilization shots like more expensive drones
This isn’t 4K pro, is it?
Work well in negative temps?
32 degrees F to 104 degrees F...that being said I flew this one in the 20s in Oregon without any issues, but I can see extreme temps not being friendly to battery life and performance overall.
