SG907 MAX - Low Cost Drone with BIG Features (3 axis Camera Gimbal) - Review

[@Quadcopter101]

I did an experiment with various microSD cards to document which worked, and which didn't with this drone. Here's what was tried, what worked, and what didn't. The only theory I have as to why some worked, and some didn't, is that they may have installed a very old card writer (maybe some vendor had a large batch of very old writers at little cost?). Size/Class/Manufacturer/Did it work? 64 GB / V1 / Flyhal / No 32 GB / U1 / OV / No 16 GB / U1 / Mixza Tohaoll / YES 8 GB / C10 / Unirex / No 4 GB / C4 / Toshiba / No 4 GB / C2 / No Name / YES 2GB / C2 / No Name / YES

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks Quadcopter 101, I'm going to PIN your very helpful comment. Much appreciated.

[@drone4475]

This drone has problems recording video to sd card, I will pick up a card

[@SolRC]

I figured it would be a TF card like my other low cost electronics... but is an archaic micro SD huh?

[@JohnStruemph]

Maybe limited to 16gb cards?

[@ssxiong]

I have tried 16 GB U1, 32 GB U1, and just bought a 64 GB U3 for this drone but none worked! It is frustrating.

[@dugly1149]

Thank you. I’m going to get a drone, I’m trying to get the best one for my purposes without going broke. I really appreciate your approach, looking at a full spectrum as far as price and use. This one is a contender based on price, but I’ve got a fav (costing 3 times as much) and am waiting on the release of two new ones. Anyway, keep up the great work.

[@dosomestuff1949]

Have u considered the dji mini se or the mini 2?

Great video as always Captain Drone 👍🏻

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks 👍

[@JG-mw7uy]

Of the only few channels that I like before watching. Good stuff! By the way Steve, you are nearing 200K, so I was thinking, why don't you make a special video about yourself. We love your content so you don't have to go out of your way to spend money on giveaways all that often. So now let me finish the video, see you later!

[@Theblankwindow]

If you have the SG907 Pro or Max, the secret to indoor flight is start the controller and hold the GPS button until it switches to GPS 'OFF' mode on the controller screen. Then power up the SG907 drone. Once it syncs up and lights are solid, use the joy sticks to unlock and power up the propellers and push the button to take off within a 5 second window for each process. Once done, you can fly indoors. When the drone is landed it will automatically switch back to GPS 'ON' mode and cannot be switched back. Turn both controller and drone off and repeat process or if replacing with a fresh drone battery. Happy indoor flying.

[@johnsheehy6172]

I couldn't record video or pics, so I undid the cover where the optical flow lens is (4 small screws) and pushed the ribbon connector in after flipping the holder open. I then closed the holder. It works fine now. 16gb max according to the instructions.

[@davaoeagle72713]

ZLL/ZLRC make good drones for budget friendly prices, I got the 906 PRO and have not been disappointed, the 907 reviewed here looks really good too. thanks to drones like this ive made my mind up about saving for a mavic mini.

[@fightthebully3331]

If a purchasing a high end DJI or Autel drone drains your retirement account. You couldn’t have possibly planned to retire no longer than 1month. Lol

“Drone no link, please check link” is what I get every time I hit calibrate, I followed each step exactly as you did. Not sure what’s wrong

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Drone no link? I have no idea what that means. Almost sounds like the drone is not connected or different firmware or the app is not designed for the drone.

[@wiley4404]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 yeah every time I connect to the WiFi of the drone it says there’s no internet connection. That can be my only guess

[@鈴木-s8g]

あなたはAndroidを使っていませんか?これら中国製ドロ-ンは、バ-ジョンの新しいAndroidとの接続が大変に悪いですね。この件で多くの皆さんが困っているようです。解決策を教えましょう。 ①スマホの設定の機内モードをONにしてからドロ-ンの電波を拾うこと。ここが大事!! ②、①で解決しなければ、接続出来るまで、インストール済のアプリをアンインストールと再インストールを繰り返すこと。めんどくさいですが、根気よくやれば必ずうまく行きます。 ③ただし、この方法で接続出来ても、アプリだけでドローンの操縦とカメラとの二つを使おうとするとカメラ画像がフリーズすることがあります。この場合には、ドローン操縦はリモートコントローラーで行い、カメラはアプリで使うようにしてください。

What is the best drone between L600 lyzrc or the LLC SG907 what is the different between them

[@GYDRONE]

After looking at all of my options and watching your videos repeatedly . I have decided to purchase this drone. Really want a 3 axis gimbal for video stability. This seems to be the best for the buck right now. It is however now around the $200+ price range due to the economy 😥 with 2 Batts and a carrying case. Thanks for your reviews. I really enjoy your videos.

Excellent reviews, a pity that the SIM card recording didn't work to compare the video quality with your phone. As you have reviewed the SG907 Max and the S135Pro could you help me to decide which one to buy please. Avoidance on the S135 Pro is a nice feature to have but as I already fly drones not as important as sim video recording for me. I look forward to your recommendation please. Many thanks Oscar

Waiting on delivery of my Mavic Mini 2. Lost my first Mini on Saturday in the top of a 70’ poplar tree. Thought it was a goner! Luckily it fell out Sunday afternoon with only prop damage.

Hi captain drone can i request for you? Can you please make a video of the features of the XiL Max Apps and use the sg907 Max drone.

No drone is without it's problems. I started on a Syma X5C 100% manual. I moved to a Phantom 3 and was wowed with altitude hold and all the features. I progressed to mini and micros as they are just safer for my area. No geofencing or additional apps are needed for permission to fly. I particularly like Tinyhawk 1 and Parrot Mambo FPV now. I also bought Mini 2 but regardless of the 249 grams the app still has the normal DJI restrictions. The SG906 and 907 are a great way for beginners and budget minded people to get their feet wet in the drone world. The safest fun factor for me though comes from Tinyhawk and Mambo.
