BwineGPS Drone with Camera 4K UHD - F7MINI, Under 249g, 60-Min Flight Time, Auto Return, Follow Me, Waypoint Fly, Circle Fly, 5GHz Transmission - Ideal for Adult Beginners

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.

The media could not be loaded. From the moment I opened the box, I knew I had purchased a quality product. The presentation was excellent, with a case that, for a budget drone, feels very well made and adds great value to the package. The compact fabric of the case is of high quality and its design, with a practical handle, allows the drone to be easily carried anywhere without fear of damaging it.Upon opening the case, I found a lightweight but well-built drone, with materials that, although simple, do not feel low quality. The battery also surprised me, as it reaches almost the flight time specified in the description, allowing for plenty of time in the air to capture photos and videos.As for the camera, for a starter drone, it produces good quality images and videos. Even on a windy day, I was able to control it without problems and take sharp photos. The sunlight affected the quality a little, but in my case this was due to the smoke in the environment, something specific. Despite that, the flight and photography experience has been incredible and different.I recommend this drone to those looking for an affordable option without compromising too much on quality. It's perfect if you want to experience it without investing in an expensive drone that would probably offer you similar performance. So far, I haven't found any drawbacks and will continue to update if anything comes up. Overall, it's an excellent purchase.

The media could not be loaded. This my first adult drone so I don't have much experience 🙃. But the camera is great for what it is. The flight is really stable. It is easy to use once you seen the instruction video 5mins I was up and flying no problem. My biggest issue currently is the flight time the battery life seems to be much shorter than advertised i have reached out to customer support and i am waiting on a reply which i reach out 3 mins before I wrote this review. Which the support seems to be top notch so far I question and they helped perfectly the company so far stands behind their product. I do recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality picture and easy to use drone. I will update you on the battery life issue.
