After watching many of your reviews I just purchased this drone. Great value for the features for a beginner. That’s me. Thank you for all the effort you put into your channel Captain.
Hi captain , anything anyone can buy at this price with a camera , to me is a plus cause there were times when you had to spend a fortune for a drone with a reasonable camera and these days we still take it for granted and wanting more for the price , it was total headache with Mods and stuff just top get this close to what you can get now for that price , even if it only goes 300 feet . Take care Captain , nice one as usual .
Thanks to this video I decided to enter into the world of flying drones and drones in general. I don't know about other makes and models too much but what my KF101 siurvived already is very impressing. After learning quickly the basic moves then use of camera I went right into difficult pitch filming over water streams with dense vegetation on the banks. Really tight space for flying and making video recordings. I guess I must be very lucky that the gimball still works after a few crashes. After one particular occured after low battery automatic moves. Started climbing right into the branches of a tree above then fell 50ft onto drift wood and rocks covered with moss. Seemingly the first post-crash test is succesful. Very informative videos, deffo going to see more of your reviews as I am at pole position to extend my fleet.
It'd be cool if some of these budget drones came with upgrades to increase range and flight time. Very good quality devices despite those tow features. And the cost to entry is much more palatable.
The video from this drone looks very similar to that of the SJRC F11 4K Pro. But that display on the remote (like all of MJX drones so far) should be what most budget drones have, having the distance and altitude on the remote is extremely useful, and is quite viewable in direct sunlight.
I'm very impressed by this drone 🤔..beats the hell out of the beast pro series.. does what all low budget drones say they do but they don't do it. This one does, the video is super smooth, photos are decent, remote control is pretty... technology is rushing forward 👌🏾
Thanks CD. I won't be around on your channel so much in the future, because I need to knuckle down finally and watch vids relevant to my own endeavors. But I'll still monitor and watch videos that can assist me in that. You are such a good pilot, good teacher, and a lot of fun.
Cap! You da' best reviewer on da' net! A lot of detailed work presented here. Problem is, I buy too much watching you. Four drones in past 30 days. This one will make five!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 No Steve, Bill is like myself, a devoted disciple. It's YOU that we follow, oh anointed one!!! Many,many thanks for all you have done to help promote our (choose one): A) Sport B) Hobby C) Addiction. D) ALL OF THE ABOVE!
It's incredible I have gone on so many different drone instructors you have been the most informative one I've ever met thank you very much I'm totally an Ubee and I've had the pleasure of purchasing one that's the lower one but it's still high enough quality for me and I'm using it for charitable projects overseas
I bought this drone after finding your channel and watching probably all your budget drone videos and loved this one so much I had to have it! I love your channel! I've also got the 1km model and I've actually had a day where I got 4000 meters one flight with no video transmission or controller communication issues! This is a very good but temperamental drone lol
Looks to be a good drone. Everything worked, stable flight and video, good camera quality and flight time. Only things was the RTH a little weird as you pointed out.
Just got this drone and I love it! However I only ordered it with 1 battery, is there anywhere online that sells replacement or spare batteries for the KF101?
I personally like the drunk return to home feature. It makes it look like it's really being flown back. None of the perfect straight line flight like my DJI. 😂
I bought this drone based on this video, my first drone, so for the money I figured it would be a good beginner drone, 1 of the 3 batteries came DOA :( other than that no major issues. SD Format is not Mac compatible. I would recommend it as a beginner drone
SG906 Pro 2 is better, better camera, as I can see, the photo maked by KF101 is sucks. People says that SG908 have too many defects, that's why 906 is the best choice
Could you review the new kf101 max plus (two generations later than the one you reviewed in this video) also it has 5km range and I am curious if the improvements are worth it
Its pretty amazing to see how much budget drones have progressed over the years. I mean, $180 for something like this was unheard of just 5 years ago, hell, even 1 or 2 years ago. It's not going to blow anyone's mind with video/image quality, but its totally decent......I mean, damn, its $180. Of course a Mavic Mini is absolutely better, but if you only have $200 for your budget and just want something to mess around with and learn how to use a drone, this is probably a really good way to go.
Luis Hurtado , yes you are absolutely right , a very fair comment , despite others would just hate the Drone , you have to look at it as to what you are getting for that price .take care .
Now just look at the beauty of that remote controller and tell me if DJI is just playing the ass with us sometimes , sorry for the language but honestly , couldn't they have put a display on their mavic air2 ,mavic mini and mavic mini2 the same way with that price they are selling them for ? .
I bought one of the first Typhoons years ago at $1,000+. Those rubber shock mounted cameras are incredibly delicate & subject to disaster. I had to learn quick!
I bought this drone based on your review. To my surprise no optical flow sensor and the range is less 200m before it loses communication with the remote.
I know this video is a little older now, but the link to this drone doesn't appear to be budget anymore. I'm seeing it on Cafago for $391.00 and not under $200 like in some of the comments from a few months ago.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 hi mr Captain. After view this video , I decided to order the same drone ks101 . But I don’t know what going on . My drone couldn’t fly
Despite the drunk RTH, another test I would love to see you add to these budget drones would be a signal lost behavior test (i.e. phone dies, controller shut down, etc)
Yeah, that's what you just can't find easily, if you can at all. Budget drones don't usually get in-depth reviews, because reviewers are all used to much, much better aircraft, so nobody even thinks of checking that.
Just ordered one with the 3km range that says radio repeater it is the max version after watching this video I think it is value for money just waiting for the drone to come
The DNA of SJRC F11 4K Pro is obviously on this drone. The app is even created by the same developer for SJRC. The giveaway is the LED lamps, arms, and the rear end :). Anyway, it's pretty darn good for a budget drone at the price range
Hello. Why is it that at a lower resolution (2K), according to various reviews, it seems to me that the picture from this drone is clearer/sharper than that of the F-11 pro 4K. The smoothness is the same. Am I mistaken on the even picture quality and is the F-11 better or not ?
Will you review KF102 ?i only trust your review because all your review is straight to the point , clear cut without talking too much rubbish like others.
Good morning Steve from NB I have made up my mind several times over the past year on what drone I will buy, but then my dream gets bashed for that unit by a poor review from someone. I am beginning to think that some reviewers bad mouth a drone due to a bad experience which I am suspicious was had due to "pilot error". Maybe the calibration was not done correctly, maybe they didnt take the time to read the manual, or misunderstood the manual due to translations...that would be easy to do in many cases. Anyway, I am sticking to your reviews because I am sure you have the experience and knowledge of drone flying backing you, it is quite evident that you know the unit you are reviewing, also - you pull no punches when you hit a not-so-good drone, and you present your reviews with professionalism yet always seem to be able to inject the review with tidbits of humor. This all results in a good watch by the viewers. For these reasons plus the fact that I am a new pilot to the world of droning therefore a descent entry level drone is what I need, I have decided on the KF101. Technology is technology and I have been involved with technology as my 20-years of employment in the telephone industry prior to retirement therefore I fully realize that in that world things can and do run amok. For that reason, I will lay no blame on you should I be unfortunate enough to buy a dud. 😮😅 Keep up your great work
Thanks for the comments! Your KF101 should perform no different than what you see in my video review, under all the same circumstances. I should also mention that no drone is perfect, or else I'd only have one. The reviews who are negative usually come off that way because they looked at the 100 things about the drone and spent 20 minutes focusing on the 5 negative aspects vice the 95% good aspects. Those reviewers, for the most part, will have a small following vice a larger channel like mine.
Had my first flight with mine today - indoors - NOPE, it lifted off and immediately drifted backwards into a wall 8) Outdoors, were pretty good, it managed to make headway into a blustery headwind OK, so over 15-20- minutes I stayed on manual and got the hang of the controls, with two or three good soft landings. However having an issue with the app on my iPhone, with the phone going to sleep while I thought it was recording video. First impressions, fairly good for a complete novice like me. Also the version of the remote I got has USB-C, USB Micro and Lightning cables to connect the phone, so you don't have to rely on the wifi connection.
Glad to hear you are enjoy the drone. Please note that all entry level drones that have optical flow for positioning (camera on the bottom) require very bright light in a room in order to fly indoors or else the drone will not lock on to anything and will then drift due to the movement of air it causes.
I bought One of these after watching this video, great camera quality, but I broke a load of props pretty much the day it arrived (never flown a drone) now I can't find anywhere to get replacements! anyone have idea's on that? as I know I will no doubt break the Ones that came in the box :/
Props are not specific to drones, so don't search for props for this drone. What you have to do is measure the prop in inches and then search for props of that size that are foldable. Then have a look at all the results and find props with the same securing system.
Thanks for the review, very informative. If you have no need for the Mini SE anymore, please send it my way. I had the pleasure of owning the original Mini. However, in these trying times, I had to sell it 🥺😥😢😭. Oooh the memories!😭😭😭
Anybody who has this drone does your battery blue LED lights turn off when charged mine do not even after 10 hours of charging bit confused because in a manual it says LED lights go out when charged
Added one of these to the collection but would love to purchase a backup battery. Anyone know of a source! ( 6 months later and still looking for a spare battery and BTW, having some developing issues with the camera gimbal)
Hey im fairly new to drone - three drones I have been loooking at - this one, the srjc f11/f22s and the holy stone 720.. which would you recommend out of the three for money for value
Anyone have any thoughts on the KF105 mini? How do the models work? Someone said the kf101 is nicer than the kf102? Did the kf101 come out before the kf102 though?
After watching many of your reviews I just purchased this drone. Great value for the features for a beginner. That’s me. Thank you for all the effort you put into your channel Captain.
Very nice to see all the improvements in budget Drones over the past 2 years.
Thanks Captain

For the price of this drone I'd say it's quite good. Did not expect the follow me to work as well as it did.

This review is amazing about this drone Captain Drone
Loved this review. Very informative and also funny as well with the drunk return to home. Lol Love your work @CaptainDrone, keep up the great work.

One epic video after another!
lol I love the alcohol test Cap you crack me up. Keep them coming Cap
So, if I'm FUI (Flying Under the Influence), and hit the 'return to home' button, will it fly back in a straight line?
No it will get pulled over and you can’t fly for a year! Brought to you by m.a.d.f. Lol
Just got this drone and I love it! However I only ordered it with 1 battery, is there anywhere online that sells replacement or spare batteries for the KF101?
Excellent Tutorial Review Video Captain Drone. Amazing inexpensive drone!! Thank You!
Looks like decent quality for the price point. Shot nice pictures and video. Under $200 seems like a good deal with all the features it has.
I like that it uses usb c compared to other drones that still use the older one
This is much cheaper than bugs. Great stabilized video. Thanks for the review Cap
I love your videos keep up the great work.
Dude The Budget Drones Now is Just Wow😦😦😦
One of the nicest budget drones I've ever seen 👍
It really looks awesome Steve!
I want to see how the real DJI Mavic 3 and Phantom 5 will look like!
Same
Awesome drone. Thanks steve for reviewing that for us ❤️
I personally like the drunk return to home feature. It makes it look like it's really being flown back. None of the perfect straight line flight like my DJI. 😂

Good review Steve. The video quality was not bad.

Hope you enjoy it!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Love the videos. working on my Part 107 now actually. Keep the videos coming!!
Hi Captain, Your explainationions are very good, it can be easily understood. Thanks and keep it up!
Glad to hear that!
I bought this just now because of this review!! ❤
Can you do a review of kf102?
Just got the newer version and am loving it...but the instructions were terrible. Your video helped me immensely. Thanks!
Despite the 2 axis gimbal on the SJRC, the quality amounts to the same or better than on this 3 axis.
Thank you for the great review I just purchased this one based on the review tyvm
Hope you enjoy it!

Now I’m confused which one should I choose??? Sg908 or Kf101??? Help me captain 👨✈️ 👋🙏
lmao he just heart it

Should i get this or the F11 4K Pro for my son
I think that they just change the case offering always the same functions. And did you notice the top-left corner flickering? This is a F11 4k clone.
