5.0 out of 5 stars Great drone at a fraction of the cost
So, I've held off on my review to fully test the done. I didn't want to say it's good without testing it in every condition available to me. But it's good! Especially at its price point.First of all, I've gone running with my drone (follow mode), hiking (take a picture at the peak), desert hiking, kayaking (GPS route planned), skateboarding (follow mode), and playing tennis (left mid-air to watch from above). Plus tested the drone in different wind conditions, from level 1 to level 4 wind conditions.The drone has surpassed my expectations. I can literally take it anywhere with me. Since it's the size of a small lunch bag, including the controller and the batteries, it's super convenient and I don't have to care. I simply charge the batteries overnight and take it with me everywhere I go. It has a permanent spot in my car. The only complaint I have is that I want more batteries since I use it pretty often and I forget to charge it or I just absolutely fly it like a madman.Since I've started training my running form I have taken my drone with me and put it on follow mode. That way I can record my form through the whole run. It sounds kind of silly, but right now I'm trying to get faster and it works out perfectly. I can see when I'm leaning too far back, or slouching too much, or when I'm not pushing from my toes and just lifting my legs, or when my cadence is off, etc. Kinda geeky, but that's what I mainly use it for on my morning runs.The f7 comes with 2 batteries in the bag, so you are able to fly it for 1 whole hour in two 30-minute intervals. It will alert you when you need to change the battery and go back to "home" if it dies mid-flight. It's pretty good considering you are using the camera and other stuff. It does last a little longer if it's on manual mode and you aren't actively taking video and just messing around. But if you put it in sport mode and fly like I do it will last 20-24 mins. Still, pretty good considering all the stress I put this through haha.Talking about the battery, the drone lasts less in high wind conditions. But that's not a bad thing. It auto-corrects so it doesn't drift with the wind. In level 4-5 conditions, it does struggle. Close to 17-23 mph and I didn't feel too comfortable flying it without risking feeling like it was going to crash if I wasn't careful. I didn't want to risk breaking it after I've come to use it so much. I hope you understand...I would honestly compare it to my friend's DJI mini 2 but at half the price.Something that I thought was funny was the location of the SD card slot. It's on the side of the drone and it blends right in, so I just kept looking over it. I don't want to admit it but it took me looking at the manual to find it... You need to format or something on the SD card the first time you use it if you are trying to fast-speed write. But you don't have to until you are ready and you can use it at normal write speed. Thought I would share that so you didn't accidentally click on it. After it was configured for fast writing it didn't ask for anything else and hasn't asked about it since.There is a message in the app, that you can skip over, that teaches you how to set up and use the drone. So you don't need to worry about reading the instructions every time you want to fly. Especially if you lost them. Plus it's pretty intuitive, so it works great.I can honestly say that it's a great drone. It follows me everywhere I run, it's pretty smooth when I record my friend's skateboarding, or when I go out kayaking or hiking. It's half the price of a DJI mini 2 and has all the same features, so I'm pretty happy with it. I did reach out to BWine to buy more batteries since I wanted to have some backup ones and didn't have the link and they helped pretty quickly with that. I was honestly surprised at their customer support. I genuinely expected them to take a week to reply but they sent a reply overnight. So that was pretty cool.Hopefully, this helps, I love when I can check out other people's reviews before I buy something :)
5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun and an Excellent company to do business with
This drone is a great value for the price point. I was interested in having a drone but not interested in spending a thousand dollars for a pro model. So, I ordered what I thought would be a good intro to drones, and clearly made a good decision. This drone is easy to set up and easy to get started. The down side for me, personally, is that it takes a little hand/eye coordination and an adventerous mentality. I have the latter but not so much the former. Regardless of my personal learning curve, it has been so much fun practicing. It's a rugged and smart device and relates well with my iPhone 13 mini smartphone. I'm blown away by the videos and pics that I have taken with this drone, with such high quality. It's exhilarating flying, and even talking about my 'flights' gets my heart racing. So, here's the icing on the cake: I'm flying the thing and I hadn't realize that one of the blades was severed during one of my numerous crashes, which by the way are getting fewer and fewer. The drone was taking a weird path towards trees and a brook and, of course, I panicked and steered the wrong way, even more towards the trees. The drone got caught up in branches, stalled and descended to the ground, right into a shallow brook that runs on my property line. Unfortunately, it landed in about 5 inches of water, which although easily retreivable, ultimately ruined parts of the drone's electronics and killed the battery. I called Bwine's support number and simply wanted to know the most economical way to get back up and running again from my own stupid sequence of events. They asked me to send a video of what damage had been done to the drone. Essentially, only two of the propellers worked after my accident. I sent them a video of the semi-lame drone trying to achieve lift-off, and without further ado, they said they were going to send me a "bare drone" (meaning no peripherals, blades, batteries, bag, etc). What I received was much more than a bare drone and enough parts/accessories to get me up and running again. So, I continue my droning adventures! I absolutely love this "toy". I don't know if I'll elevate to the "pro" model and invest 5 times the cost of this one, and not sure that I would want to. This is a great little little investment that is generating hours of fun. My friends and neighbors are just as enthralled as I am with this little device, and actually think that I'm a good pilot! I swear, if you're thinking about getting into the 'droning life', this is a great jumping off point, because it's a great device and it's a great company to deal with, with awesome customer support. I totally agree with the other positive reports about the Bwine F7 Mini drone.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter drone
This drone was advertised as a cheaper alternative to drones costing hundreds - the reality is it's still a fairly expensive drone that has limited battery life, limited operating range and some communications glitches. On the negative side:The battery life is only about 10 minutes per pack. - there is an approximately 25% capacity reserve which is basically unusable since the drone will only allow return-to-start flight when the battery shows 2 of four bars.The operating range is only approximately 150' before the unit starts glitching and the communication starts freezing for periods of time. If you exceed this range, the chances are good that the drone will become uncontrollable until you walk closer. Any obstructions to line-of-sight will result in signal loss (think about your home wifi).The camera is very high def, but there is no gimbal so the images are very shaky. You can control the angle of the camera on one axis but requires bringing up an on-screen toggle.The positives:The GPS system seems very good - it will return to an area within a few feet of take-off. It is easy to calibrate and it has an on-screen indicator of location relative to the base. The auto return works reasonably well.The camera is very crisp and clear.The drone is easy to learn to operate even for a beginner, and the stabilization software works OK for low-wind days (<5-10 mph).Overall this drone is a decent, low-cost system but the price is a little high for the features provided, in my opinion. Limited range is the biggest disappointment.
