Drones with Camera for Adults 4k, 2-Axis Gimbals GPS Drone with EIS WeFone WF40 FPV RC Foldable Quadcopter for Beginners, Auto Return, Brushless Motor, 5G Transmission, 44min Flight Time, 2 Batteries

Review of WF 40The WF40 is a sub 249gram drone (actually 212g) that comes with what you expect from a folding beginner drone. The box comes with a very nice carrying case which contains the drone with two batteries, controller, user manual, small bag which includes extra props, usb cable, and screwdriver.In this review, the user needs to look at the pros as well as the cons when deciding if this drone will fulfill your needsProsThere is a benefit of the drone with battery weighing under 212 grams is that it’s not required to meet FAA Remote ID and registration guidelines. Even if you add a strobe light (require for night flying) you would still be underweight so once again the Remote Id and registration would not be required.The user will need to charge both batteries and the controller before the first flight. Included in the case is one micro usb cable to charge both batteries and the controller.The drone comes with two batteries, (7.4V 1500 mah) each takes about 2 hours to charge. A fully charge battery last between 10-15 minutes even though the manufacture claims 22 minutes per battery. The correct way to ascertain battery life is to start the timer as soon as all components (Drone, app, and controller) are on. Also if you have a headwind that will also reduce battery life.It has a micro SD card slot for recording your pictures and videos. With the use of a SD card the camera is capable of capturing stunning 4 k photos and 2 k videos. The resolution will be greater storing to an SD card vs your cell phone. You can use anywhere from 128 GB to 256 GB card in the drone.The App has many features found on much higher cost drones. These would include return to home (RTH), point of interest, and waypoints.Setting the drone to fly is pretty simple and straightforward in drones of this class. After setup hit the automatic takeoff button and you’re flying.The drone is backed by the award winning customer service from Holy Stone. I have been dealing with Holy Stone for several years and have never had a bad experience.Cons:The user manual is so small you be tempted to use a magnifying glass to read it.Extra cables would make charging much easier.The power switch for the drone is located on the underside of the body. It is small and very easy to miss.Flight:After performing the calibrations and unlocking he motors she was ready to fly. Hitting the auto takeoff button the drone rose to an altitude of about three meters and hovered there waiting the next command. Even in a slight breeze, thanks to the GPS the drone never moved until told to do so. With the exception of the few cons previously listed I found the WF 40 to be a good drone and worth the price.

The media could not be loaded. First drone had connection issues and when I did the review the company sent me a new drone and I have not had any issues. I will upgrade review to 4 stars for company response to seeing that I’m satisfied…the video is really good for a small drone. The range for the drone is ok for a $100 drone. Once you get the sequence down to fly it is easy to remember. I would recommend this drone for a novice flyer to learn on. I finally got a chance to fly the replacement drone. To begin with when I removed the camera cover the camera was disconnected from the drone and it was hanging by the wires flapping in the air. I was able to connect the camera back to the drone but was unable to move the camera up and down. Still had issues with the drone connecting to the app and keeping it connected. Once in the air the drone was slow to react to commands. The drone was calibrated horizontally and vertical. The pictures are of the drone after it crashed after losing control of the drone. I attempted to bring the drone down to land but I had no control. Seller, please do not send another drone because it is useless. I’ve flown DJI drones before the FAA license requirements with no problems at all. I guess I will have to go to a better made drone under 249g’s…

This drone gave us fits trying to get it up and flying when I did get it flying I took it up to 100m and the wind took it away no matter what tried the wind had it. The wind was super strong I hit Return home and watched this little guy fight it's way back home "crazy" The anxiety and rush on that flight was amazing lolGreat drone very fun to fly.

It is a good drone for the price. It has an app that works although it is limited.The control wheel for the camera angle responds very slow has an a lying beep each time you move it and the camera takes a few seconds to move. Besides it seems to be setup opposite in direction as any other droneIf you try to connect near your home and you have a strong home WiFi signal the phone will attempt to disconnect from the drones WiFi and go back to your house WiFi. That makes connecting to the drone frustrating. But when it connects the app works ok although it has very limited capabilities. But it works which is a lot more that I can say from other WiFi connected drones. The good thing is that it does have GPS but it is sensitive to light wind. Not a level 5 wind drone. The image posted was with covered skies so to be fair the lighting was pretty bad although far above the horizon you can see blue it was pretty late in the afternoon just before sunset but in general the image and video are decent. Not 4K HDR but for a sub $100 drone it is not bad. Flying experience is pretty decent though. I would recommend for anyone learning to fly.But one downside can’t get any osaré batteries or anywhere to go for software updates or anything of that kind. The RTH altitude should have a way to be customized to avoid the drone crashing with a teee or building.

I had great expectations after a few youtube reviews. Charged the batteries ( delighted that remote came with onboard battery). After trying to read the small writing in the manual i installed a sd card. (32 pro plus) not included . Easy to scan qr code download the app. No problem connecting to aircraft live other reviews state. With my experience thats where the disappointment begins. 1st flight attempt after calibrated i hear humming noises no takeoff drone shuts off. Humm do a visual inspection smells like its burning. Immediately remove battery ( Very tight fit.) After aircraft cooled off attempt another flight. Unfortunately this drone came inoperable. i am returning it. If i receive another drone or any correspondence from wefone i will update.
