I find that the best time to try out a new drone/helicopter or airplane is when the weather is at it's worse, but that's just me. I don't really like seeing props on the screen, and that gimbal not being able to go the 90° as it should is also another bummer. I'm also not a fan of EIS, I gotta have a 3 axes gimbal. I do like the heavier drones because they are not easily pushed around, but this one was all over the place. I seriously doubt it's a level 6, but who am I. I don't have one of those. Ever since I've first flew a DJI drone. It's really hard to try something else because they're so reliable. Me personally, I wouldn't buy anything but DJI, and if I had to purchase from another company. I think it'll be an Autel evo+. I think Autel are second on the drone list. At least for me they are.

@@WeretheRoberts HS600 is the SJRC F22. This the the F11S 4k Pro with the F22/F5 controller. They sell them like that in Asia. The other controller is boosted WiFi. I myself had the F11 4k Pro with shorter range WiFi directly to the phone. So I know a bit about this drone. It's not the best and stable in the wind for its size. That is due to the barometer being exposed at the underside. Some tape could help if it is windy. And once in a while in can go into toilet bowl. The reason why I sold it is because the app doesn't have a homepoint update option. Trying to fight RTH ia a real struggle. So the drone would fly all the way back without any warning no matter battery level. A shame because the follow-me in itself worked pretty nice. Can put it anywhere north south east west in view, can still use the sticks, it even auto-yaws if you do a fly-by. It goes a little bit left right so not 100 % stable background. But on a bike or so yes it works. One of the few. But the Ruko price again is much too high. It's not a DJI. Never will be. And if people want the same camera and video quality but don't care about the long range, they can get the WiFi to phone version for $180. Then it is an option to a DJI or Fimi. It is very well build. Feels premium. What I don't know is the Remote ID? Which one has it and which one doesn't? It's possible that only Holy Stone and Ruko have them equipped with a module. It would justify the higher price somewhat. Although over $500, nope.

Though its bigger size and weight, it's being blown more around in the wind than my Mini 2, the video quality was better on the original Mavic Mini though the resolution only was 2,7K, the horizont isn't leveled (might be able to correct this with a calibration, and the propellers are visible in the video. I wouldn't send money after this product. I think Ruko should stick to selling door locks and handles.

Was that the props in the shot😜....ouch...and i cannot believe it wont look straight down...lol...that would be a huge deal breaker for me as looking straight down seems to be so important in so many situations...especially in the mountains and canyons and coming down between trees and such😶🌫...YIKES...lol... but hey...thanks for the comparison video my brother but that wont be slaying DJI yet :)~ may God shower you and loved ones in His blessings and safety i pray...

Lol you’re right about DJI not having any concerns. Haha. I do bet that those props could slay a Mini 4 pro though. Them suckers are thick! I agree about the props being visible and the looking straight down inability being a deal breaker. The video quality seems quite good though and it flew pretty good. I’m gonna fly it a bit more in better conditions and see if it does better. We’ll see. Lol. Thanks for watching, buddy

This was my first drone, got it due to the cost it was heavily reduced on Amazon, got my license from the CAA here in the UK, and I did like the drone, what I didn't like was having to plot my flights using google maps and measuring out 150m from all buildings (CAA law) however when I did take the drone out it was fun and I did take it out in really strong winds just like you and it handled well, but on each of the recordings the props were always visible, now how a DJI Mini 4 pro, but thanks for the Video and also I didn't know about Drone Scanner app, there is a mini version of this, but there is no gimble so you see every shake on the camera if there's a slightest of breezes.

Awesome! I think so far it’s definitely a good drone for the price. DJI may have hit them though when they released the Mini 4K at the price they have it at. Now that’s a great deal. We have the Mini 2 which is pretty much the same thing and that sucker has been impressive since day one. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. E really appreciate the support and hope you enjoyed the video. God bless! Kevin

Your observation is correct. Lol. I do think it did well for the wind it had to deal with but DJI definitely don’t have anything to worry about. I do really like the new controller though.

Kevin, Ruko is definitely OK but no where close to DJIs bigger drones. Get your hands on an AIr 2S or and Air 3 and you will see what awesome really is. The Mini's are great and I still love flying mine but until you have flown the Air 2S or better your have not yet experienced the best. Just saying. A decent drone, yes. A DJI killer, Nada. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I’d say you’re 100% right. Lol. I was pleased with its performance especially considering the wind but I’d love to have an Air 2S or 3 to see how it would compare. I’ve heard they’re a pretty amazing. Eventually I’ll have a chance to fly one though and know exactly what you mean, eh? Lol.

@@WeretheRoberts If you can get your hands on an Air 3 it will blow you away how smooth it flies. The Air Series is the "Prosumer" drones that are good enough for professionals work =as well as consumers and they are prices in between the minis and the Mavic 3's nicely.

@@WeretheRoberts With a normal (cheaper) WiFi drone it is the drone that hands out the IP addresses to the controller and phone. So you switch the drone on first. But with a relay/booster controller it is the controller that gives your drone and phone an IP address. Just like your router. So you switch on the controller and then connect the drone and phone. With OTG cable I don't think it matters if you plug the phone in first or after switching on the controller. The app will see the device.
