Bwine F7 Pro Drones with Camera for Adults 4K UHD Aerial, 3-Axis Gimbal, 10000FT Control, 50 Mins Flight Time with 2 Batteries, GPS Follow, Waypoint, Orbit Fly, Auto Return, Beginner Mode

I received the Bwine F7GIM Drone very quickly with next day shipping with no issues.  The shipping packaging was good and the product packaging was of high quality.The drone comes in a nice case with a handle.  It provides room for two batteries, the drone (folded up), and the remote.  It has a netted area in the lid for documentation, drone registration docs, a couple small cables, and spare props.I like that Bwine was responsible and explained the process of registering the drone on the FAA website "DroneZone".  I have done this in the past, so it was simple for me to add this new drone, but I had to figure it on my own in the past.  Please be sure to follow the rules and complete that step and learning drone piloting responsibilities.Ease of Use:I found the drone to be very easy to use.  Bwine was thoughtful in providing assistance in learning the drone with small things like a fitted overlay for the remote that shows all the functions of the buttons and levers.  It also assists with good functionality like returning the drone to the point of take-off when the batter is beginning to get low and provides almost completely automated landing capabilities.  If you are landing on a large flat area, like an empty parking lot, the landing can be completely automated.  I land on a 3' pad on grass, and due to the inherent GPS inaccuracies, I do assist the landing by either guiding the drone the last couple of feet down or moving the landing pad under where the drone is descending.  It is very close in most cases - within a couple of feet.  If you are a beginner and pick a nice wide-open spot, take-off and landings will not be a problem.  I like the design of the drone with the "landing feet" being right below the props.  That provides good stability upon landing and nearly eliminates the chances of the drone tipping over on landing (important on windy days).During my first flights I did have about a 10mph wind.  The drone handled the wind very well (I didn't even put it in the "sport" mode and it still did very well).  The stability of the drone and the camera gimble provide stable, quality pictures.  The picture of the house is in the wind.In addition to the basic flight capabilities, I tested the Route Planning, Fly Around, and GPS Follow functions.  All worked well.  I included a video of the GPS Follow functionality.  The drone was following me in my pickup.Bwine Mini App:I found this application very usable and straightforward to use.  It provided a good interface to the camera so I could see from above and know when I wanted pictures/video.  It linked to the remote with minimal effort via the cable.  It is a little awkward to plug in the cable to the remote, but I found it easier to do that than configuring WiFi connections or other more technical interfacing methods.Camera:The quality of the camera was very good.  I selected the highest resolution for the photo images and retrieved them from the SD card after my flights.  The SD card resolutions matched what was in the Bwine Mini app (5700 x 3200 pixels).  The images sent from the drone to the application/cell phone were the same quality.  The video was also confirmed at 3840 x 2160 @30 sec as specified.  Both were very good quality, even during flight.Battery Life:Overall, the battery life was good.  I was able to run through most of the functionality tests with one charged battery, then I went up again with a new battery to test fly just for fun and take some additional pictures.  I would estimate 15-20 minutes or so of flying depending on wind, camera usage, etc.  The automatic return home estimates the necessary battery to return to the landing spot. I found it to be very conservative (a good thing).I went through four battery charges on the drone batteries (over two outings)  and the remote charge was still at 66%.I did have a challenge finding an SD card in my available stash to work with the drone.  The one that worked was a Samsung 128GB EVO card.  I had some others that the drone would not recognize that were 32GB.  I would recommend ordering an SD card with the drone that is FAT32 compatible and 128GB unless you have some around.The only negative I found was the screen on the remote was very difficult to see in bright sunlight.  This is not a showstopper as most of the functionality is managed through the connected cell phone on the Bwine Mini application.  After the drone initializes and connects to the remote, I didn't really look at the remote screen that much.  In addition, the remote talks to you when key actions are underway (e.g. low battery return to home).

This thing practically fly’s its self!!! It is almost fool proof.It was ready to fly out of the box except for charging the batteries. No assembly necessary.It comes with two batteries and some extra propellers.It has a max flight height of 400 feet. However, at first it starts up in beginner mode with limited distance and less height.It truly returns home with the press of a button and lands light as a feather. Loose control? About to hit something? Let go of the joysticks and it stops and just hovers. It won’t let you land too fast or dive into the ground.It also has a stable mode for capturing amazing steady video as well as a sport mode for zipping around to various locations.I set my return to home height pretty high so it comes back above any trees or buildings and it flies back to you stops above you at the height you gave it and then descends down and lands gently.Battery charge depends on how you fly it. It drains it pretty fast in sport mode. But if you just want to climb to 400 feet hover and film a panorama video it then has great battery life. Just depends on how you fly it.It is a very user friendly drone. You can even have it follow you!!!walk away from it, it follows. Walk twirls it, it will go backwards. You can aim the camera down at you and then in follow mode it keeps you in the video with your hands free.I got brave and wanted to see how far away it. Kyle get… I got it at 395’ up and just under 2900’ away from me before it lost signal. I thought it was lost. Next thing I know the control regains control because when the drone lost contact, it automatically started to return home on its own!!!!!So if you want an amazing filming platform as well as a fun moderately fast drone that is packed with technology to keep you from losing it, this is the drone you need.And be sure and remove the camera cover before powering in. The cover isn’t for flight. Camera gyros/gimbles can’t operate with it on.I’d recommend this drone %100!!!!

This is my first drone. It has been easy to learn. The photos & video have been very good. I had a issue with the gimbal shaking-customer service was outstanding. Contacted them via email on a Sunday, received prompt reply and issue was handled that day. If you're looking for a good beginner drone and a reasonable price I'd recommend. So far have been very pleased. Didn't give 5 stars because I wish there was more options to adjust camera settings and I wish there was a way to fine tune control sticks sensitivity.

I've had 5 drones in the last three years. Been pretty satisfied mostly but I've past them on to my sons as I keep looking for the "one". Now the Bwine F7GIM is the "one" for me. Easy set-up, ready to fly quickly, very responsive and super stable in the air. Great video quality. It checks all the boxes for me. Sorry the pictures are a bit dark, I just got home and was anxious to try it out. The last picture was my "Return to Home" which was almost dead on for the small landing pad! The first shot was my initial climb and then the second one was right to the 400' limit. Really made it easy to see what was happening in my new neighborhood. The neighbors will be very happy to have me keep them informed of new developments. Really happy with the quality and ease of performance form this drone and the price made it an amazing value for the money! It's a keeper!
