This cheap folding FPV drone records relatively good 720p HD video. Throw it in your backpack and take it hiking. Buy it here https://goo.gl/gnbLgB Spare batteries here https://goo.gl/9mZ3SS NOTE THAT THE CURRENT VERSION NOW BEING SHIPPED ALL CONTAIN THE ALTITUDE HOLD FEATURE. Non altitude hold XS809W have all been sold out.
And also note that there is also a cheaper low resolution 0.3MP version (does not have 720p HD camera). Don’t be a cheapskate, as you will definitely regret it later when you see the poor video that it produces.
Pros
– The quadcopter’s arms are foldable to make it very portable, such as in a backpack (similar to DJI Mavic Pro).
– Altitude hold version provides relatively stable flight for more steady video. (Note, the current version being shipped is now only available with altitude hold)
– Excellent flight time of close to 10 minutes.
– Can be controlled and flown via its controller or your smartphone/tablet. Controller buttons are all well labeled.
– Records relatively good quality 720p 20fps HD FPV video directly to a microSD memory card inserted into the quadcopter. Will also record video to your phone via WiFi, however the WiFi transmitted video is of lower VGA resolution.
– Camera lens can be swiveled up (to view sky and horizon), or down (to eliminate props from camera view)
– XSW UFO app is available on Google Play here https://goo.gl/r4fJdd and itunes here https://goo.gl/2m6Vyh
– Good control and FPV range of about 80 meters.
– Headless mode and one key return.
Cons
– Proprietary battery.
– Now only available with altitude hold. Intermediate pilots and above may miss having more responsive throttle control of a non altitude hold quadcopter.
Not my cup of tea. Not much you can do with it, which is why I like racing drones w/o Altitude control so you can do whatever you want ultimately
*Buy the 720p HD version here* NOTE THAT THE CURRENT VERSION NOW BEING SHIPPED ALL CONTAIN THE ALTITUDE HOLD FEATURE. Non altitude hold XS809W have all been sold out.
*DO NOT select the cheaper 0.3MP* version ( *does not have 720p HD camera* ). *I do not recommend the 0.3MP version as it produces poor video* .
can you review the dji spark
could you please review the Syma x56w ?
Bought it a couple of days ago wish it would arrive already haha. Great video as always 101!
Hello, what best drone to $ 70? maybe hubsan x4 h502e? Thanks
Cool review! Any similar fpv quadcopter with SD card storage and 2mp camera? This product seems to be out of stock everywhere.
Goodmorning quadcopter101 here
Is there a way to get the 720 model w/out alt hold?
what’s the app for the fpv I cant find it
Can I ask what the difference between Visuo XS809HW version and what does Altitude Hold. Sorry I’m new and trying to decide what beginner drone to buy
hi : ) what app do you use for wifi fpv?
Quadcopter 101 is tomtop a good website and not a scam?
Arrrgggghh got mine without the altitude hold, I just found out about this model.
Look at my sample quality of the video here it’s terrible!
so do all of the 720p XS809HW versions (regardless of vendors) come with the sd card slot? (man,I ask this way too often)
Hi Quadcopter101, Do you have to use the app to record to the Sd Card or can you record just by using the transmitter.
Thank you that’s a great help.
I love your reviews and watch everyone, keep up the good work they are a great help.
Having recently totalled my beloved Syma X1 and my Parrot Mini Drone, I’m looking for a new drone. I liked the altitude hold on the mini drone and I fancy doing some FPV.
This drone looks awesome, but I may be better getting something a little bigger and “dumber”.
Maybe a drone I can add a GoPro style fpv to myself.
Do you know of a drone with altitude hold that might act as a suitable platform?
Thanks 🙂
why does the FPS in the video look a bit off, or some wave like look to the video (4-5 rectangles horizontal on the clip) very ODD…maybe thats what you get with the price of the Drone. Seems fair.
i got mine to now , its verry quiet, and stable , verry nice
Do you know if the props for this drone are common amongst other drones? I want to find replacements, but I don’t want to order from TomTop or GearBest and wait a full month to receive them…
Can u use the take off/landing button to land too?
The app has been updated and now has a track route option where you can draw on phone screen where you want to fly. I havnt tried it out yet.
this drone as standard version is peace of crap….
Where can I buy parts like battery and spare parts?
If I order from your link will it definitely have 720p and altitude hold?
*Buy the 720p HD version here* *Spare batteries here* NOTE THAT THE CURRENT VERSION NOW BEING SHIPPED ALL CONTAIN THE ALTITUDE HOLD FEATURE. Non altitude hold XS809W have all been sold out.
*DO NOT select the cheaper 0.3MP* version ( *does not have 720p HD camera* ). *I do not recommend the 0.3MP version as it produces poor video* .
Is its range & Flying height better than Ryze Tello?? What’s the max height we can fly it on? Please reply ASAP!
Olá amigo, tem como você me ensinar a configurar esse drone ? Obrigado. abraços
whats the cost of this quadcopter ?
I bought that drone but I don’t have anything on the picture/filming buttons of my controller. They’re just blank. Is there a reason why your has it?
Thanks for the video
is the effect radiation(the wave effect) from the camera or the temperature in your place?
How do i get the camera to work, i just bought one and cant seem to get the camera to work
Does it REQUIRE a wifi connection to use it?
Or is it just optional?
Can u send me a still photo of the drone please? I need a photo for my project which doesn’t have copyrights and there are currently none online labelled for reuse.
