RUKO F11 GIM2 PRO DRONE | A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE TO A DJI???

[@javidakbar74]

5ghz is used for the remote controller and your phone or tablet. So you can detach the controller and phone and walk a distance of 50ft or 15 m

[@Matt-Hirsch]

This is super helpful, thank you for the demonstration. I just passed my Part 107 Exam (for commercial use) in the States and have this exact model. Looking forward to getting plenty of air time with this and the demo you provided has been nice. Best wishes!

[@Dave64track]

Great review thanks for sharing looks like a decent drone and the video quality is really good and that's the main reason why people buys these drones.

[@petem.3719]

It looks like you went that whole flight with the antennae folded down? You should have gotten a much better video signal at 500M. In an open space, 1000M or more with no signal loss is a piece of cake for this drone.

[@Poophead1]

3000m with amazing fpv feed is no problem...but as you say, definitely need antennas up and pointing at drone.

[@xycfer]

excellent video I am definitey going to purchase this drone it looks like a lot of fun! :-)

[@gamlemann53]

You have many toys, nice toys, Andy. Very funny to follow you! 🙂

[@superbert35]

Lesson learned.its best to have a mat for the drone to land on,it keeps dust and debris out of the motors.

[@ROB-M0LOL-VK2OMG]

I think you had battery graph all the time not only did it show the battery level in the top right of the screen it all so has a thin ling going from right to left across the top of the camera screen if you look back in your vid it goes from green at the start when you start flying to yellow halfway through then just before your crash its right on the left had side in red mate. Just a thought good vid well done rob n.s.w Australia 👌👌👌

[@jasondanner6630]

Only flown mine once (bad weather for a bit here). Very impressed so far. Have messed around with a mavic pro prior a bit - This ruko doesn't feel quite as stable on a hover, but has TONS of power for sure! Learning curve for me, but had perfect operation on all settings tried so far. Mine was a gift, (so price wasn't part of my consideration) - I'm very much looking forward to drier weather to really get out and fly soon 👌

[@jjp95136]

Did you bother reading the instructions before this review? You can change it’s speed and if you just leave it do it’s thing when you get the low battery warning it will eventually return home automatically. Or, you can also press the return home button when you get the low,battery warning and it should return.

[@stephendonkin5497]

Good review Andy

[@mikejf4377]

How long of a flight did you get out of that one per battery? Looks sweet but for that price you need to have it perform great.

[@andykirby]

I think about 20 mins would be possible. Depends on wind, ambient temperature, how aggressive you fly etc.

[@chargeriderepeat7024]

I bought a 2nd hand spark off ebay for 80 quid with no controller Works great off the phone, but only has. 15m battery.

[@MonkeyUK.]

£80 is a good price bro

[@chargeriderepeat7024]

yeah the guy thought the battery wasnt charging, but it worked fine, you need high a power charger.

[@deenunya7735]

Looks a good Alt bit of Kit, might be better if u had a Tinker with it for cpl Weeks then show , has it a " Follow Me" on it? Cpl of Zip Ties around the Battery till u find out if theres a Fault

[@davidhynds]

In the settings screen, there was hazard avoidance off to the LHS .....

[@greatgateholder]

do you think it could hold another 200 grams like a phone?

[@jasondanner6630]

Mine takes off like a bloody rocket - pretty sure it would lift multiple cell phones without any struggle whatsoever. (FYI, in Ukraine, they're using civilian drones just like this to drop percussion and incendiary grenades - so they will lift some weight for sure. - I may do a lift test myself 👍)

[@rustimack]

Dropping a phone over a prison fence is a felony

[@QRcoder1]

i seen why you crashed when the low battery safety came on " headless mode" had no point to return too... I also did a very basic mistake with mine ....was setting it up brand new ...in my kitchen ...couldnt get a good gps signal ....anyways was calibrated ..etc ... I put it in headless mode to startup the motors and I hit the auto takeoff button ................ It flew to the ceiling ...couldnt get it back down ....almost took a chendelier off the ceiling ....2 Cats scrambling for their dear lives ....finally fell in between a shelf and cabinet ...was still going had to reach in that spot ....and hold the power button 5 seconds. Lesson learned ....check your settings ..my minimum return height was 3 meters ....my ceiling isnt that high ...headless in the home never ...Loll

[@williamgoring7605]

You people, you put out all these videos on these drones? How many of these drones have you looked at in the last week? I have looked at over 200 drones and I found one. The cinematic 2 carbon fiber drone with a Sony camera, it's in amazing drone. Look it up, give it a try.

[@philipperichelet9666]

Hello , good drone ! On the other Hand, the drone only works 15 to 17 minutes because of the automatic Rth (return to home) for the low battery reason. they announce a run of 28 minutes per battery. I'm halfway through. have you found a solution so that I can access the full capacity of the battery It’s normal ? Thank you for your answer

[@tramey1961]

The batteries have to be drained and recharged a couple of times before reaching full capacity

[@MonkeyUK.]

Not to bad Iv been thinking about getting a drone For my 1st one what would u recommend £490 is way to much for me to pay out bro But u made me lol at the end Now I no y I don’t want to spend £400 on something that can be lost in mins

[@TeamYankee2]

PIckup up a 2nd hand DJI with controller.. That's your best bet.

[@eprohoda]

and-wow.very incredible ,have a good day. 😮

[@sojourner99]

I got one of these and really like it but how did you record that video where it shows all the heads up display stats in the vid (the one you have in the corner)? Its like you got a record of your phone video that shows the height, distance etc. Mine doesnt record any of that even on the phone-side recorded video it makes by default. Is there an option for that?

[@andykirby]

I just recorded the screen using the built in screen record. You need a powerful phone to do it as its re-encoding the image its getting from the drone in real time 😁

[@driewiel]

You know what you are talking about. But you didn't try all the features. Also this Ruko is exactly the same as the SJRC F11S 4k Pro. Only re-branded and double the price. What I don't like about it is that you can't update home-point. And it can go into toilet bowl once in a while when using return-to-home.

[@rustimack]

They aren't actually the same drone. They share alot but the ruko uses different software and some different hardware. It's an improvement on the sjrc. The range for the price point is pretty darn good. For $350 on amazon with 2 batteries I'd buy the ruko over the sjrc all day.

[@driewiel]

@@rustimack Hell no. Same drone. Only the name Ruko on the box and app. And you pay more. OK perhaps it is easier to send it back. And you get two batteries. So I guess it's not really scam. There are other examples of way to expensive rebrands.

[@rustimack]

Sorry bud they are manufacturered in the same facility, using alot of the same parts but unlike you I know what I'm talking about, I'm not speculating, they are not the same drone

[@driewiel]

@@rustimack Really? So what is different?

[@revparsons3tl]

Looks a nice drone I'm still loving my Hubsan Zino 2 when I can be bothered to take it out

[@sanchezarlan7716]

Looks like SJRC f11

[@Poophead1]

It is... but controller link in a sjrc f11 4kpro or whatever they call them

[@thebanditsix]

Is it 249 grams or less?

[@philware1546]

20oz >500g

[@jjp95136]

It’s 585g so you (technically) need to register it with the FAA in the US.

[@tramey1961]

lol you’re the one flying it. You knew it didn’t have obstacle sensors no one to blame but yourself

[@wrxs1781]

Nice little drone ,to bad the Ruko app needs so many permissions, not for me.

[@BillyNoMates1974]

for £492 it should be good. Fortunatley it is

[@itslouis3043]

I clicked in to see that there was a discount of $405.99, or £343. That's not a bad price!

[@petem.3719]

Some people prefer that, when they buy a drone, they own it, not DJI. Big can be good, at least if you're interested in complying with the VLOS rule. And some people don't have the luxury of living where the wind never exceeds 10mph, so heavy is good too. Cut to the chase, Fanboy. It's not a DJI period. DJI good. Not DJI bad. Amiright?

[@coryudon3350]

Human error.

[@PerryPlatapussi]

Personally I wouldn't spend a dime on wifi drones

[@jasondanner6630]

Why?

[@rustimack]

That's what I used to think. But these work differently. It's only connecting to your phones wifi from the controller. The controller receives the video. It has a good distance for its price point. It's not like the toy type drones that send video from the drone to your phone, severely limiting distance.

[@PerryPlatapussi]

@@jasondanner6630 I just feel as if they don't have the range I'm looking for
