PowerVision PowerEgg X Maiden Flight Test Review - In Depth with Pros & Cons

[@Nick-ow8ot]

Your reviews are amazing! I like how you go in-depth and it leaves us no question on whether to buy the drone or not. Amazing job. Please do a PowerVision PowerEgg review as well. That drone is a bit old though.

At 90 years i love your videos, You make it look easy, At present i'm flying the Mavic 2, Keep up the good work...

[@willhicks646]

I would love to see more DJI Mavic Mini videos, because I am planning on getting one, and also over ocean flight with the 4g mod Parrot DISCO. But anything that you make is amazing!

[@mrredMavicair]

Just what we need in whilst in quarantine . Great video 👍🇬🇧 stay safe people .

Your reviews made me buy Mavic mini and i love it

[@fitzieindoorsoutdoorsadventure]

What up Dustin and awesome video😎😎 and I can't wait to see the video about the waterproof for the PowerEgg x!

[@flytown9853]

Dustin you are one lucky dude to be able to fly outdoors, in my area the flying spaces are padlocked and I'm getting very bored using flight simulators while I'm quarantined to stay indoors.

[@michs1708]

another great Vid Dustin. good to see you're still cranking them out. all the best. 😉

[@dame5014]

Man oh man... Another great video. Definitely was waiting for this.

[@sputniksam]

Hi Dustin Thank you for your extensive demonstration. Out of curiosity I’m wondering which release of the APP you’re running? I had an email from the Euro Support yesterday to let me know they’d just released an update to fix the frame dropping issue when shooting 4K@60FPS. I’ve found it to be a big improvement but it’s still dropping on average 4FPS. Interestingly I’m not seeing the same issue when using it as a handicam which leads me to think that the flight stabilisation and image processing are using common components of the overall processing chain. The issue with the map is frustrating. I’ve found if you repeatedly tap the little map circle eventually it spawns to full screen, after that you can switch between the map and video with a single press. I’ve not had the opportunity to really stress the flight performance due to bad weather and then the lockdown here in the UK. I do think the lack of accuracy in RTH is due to the lack of a visible ground target. When I tested it myself using a blue ground sheet (see my vid on my channel) the accuracy was quite remarkable. You’re not the only one to experience the deformed rear end due to the battery issue, I saw another YT reviewer had the same issue. Stay safe Dustin Regards Nidge.

[@nbaker01]

New subscriber here from the UK. Love your videos and looking forward to a flight range test for this drone.

[@nightcap7209]

Love this drone. Half my droning is over water so I like its waterproof and ability to land on water. I am going to wait for it to mature a little bit.

[@Georgewrigley]

Dustin, great to see you back my friend. Missed your videos and in these uncertainties definitely cheers me up. Just be careful and be safe buddy. Awesome review and this drone seems very cool. Looking forward to a range test! I've just got the GoPro karma drone , which has been finally updated and all the issues fixed. Would you be reviewing this at all soon? Hope so. All the best buddy to you and your family, take care. George. :)

[@oscarnavarro9580]

Noticed that for the price, camera is not as great as something like the mavic air 2, but pretty good considering all the other amazing features that it has, awesome !

[@kramnikpaulbenitez529]

Great and honest review keep it up really like the drone but that problem you had on that drone is very very dangerous good thing you noticed it. Also be safe from the Philippines 👍😁👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@jakepope4056]

This is a great KZbinr I subbed with notifications

[@DjJMRock73]

hello Dustin i liked your video it helpt me a lot. I discoverd one thing during your video that did looked up regarding my training because i wanted to know the answer to that. The Obsticale avoidance and return to home function failure you experienced during the making of your video is related to the disturbance of the surroundings that influence the promimity sensor. With a proximity sensor, the drone gets more functions and you can fly more safely. Most proximity sensors are ultrasonic. These sensors work best on hard surfaces such as concrete. Grass can absorb the signal and make the proximity sensor less effective. Maybe you know it by now but i thought i should let you know.

[@judgehastheword9069]

I like that little drone . It is awesome. Great video &pictures.

[@tinnybird1971]

Lol!! What is it with the drones attempting to take your head off? Ha! This is the 2nd video I've seen of that! 😅 Have you noticed the remote resembles the Wall E robot from the movie? Looks like his face lol! I enjoy your videos. 👍

[@ZiggyBoyz]

I can see like a vignette effect in the footage. Did you put that in post edit or it's the drone actual footage. Anyway nice review but honestly this drone is kind of hhmmm... Keep your fun review flowing Dustin 👊😎

[@ThomasHart59]

Very Cool Dustin, interesting drone, good review, complete as usual . I was supposed to be on Maui this week, but ended up cancelling the trip a couple weeks ago for obvious reasons.

[@DustinDunnill]

Good call cancelling. Everyone coming in is required to quarantine for 14 days inside. Best to postpone all travel 👍

[@ThomasHart59]

@@DustinDunnill Yep, this was two weeks ago that we were supposed to leave, but figured best to postpone. Probably sometime late summer if all goes well.

[@nightcap7209]

I could be totally out to lunch on this but the drone I have seems to be much more accurate on return to home with the use of a landing pad. When I activate RTH it will tell me if it sees the landing pad or not when it gets close and then adjusts accordingly. It would be interesting to see if your landing pad makes a difference.

[@plinks8564]

Thanks for the reviews. Would love to see a distance and altitude max test.

[@rooneygmusic4522]

Interesting Dustin, where all stuck in because of Covid-19 here in the U.K., and I could have used your drone when you put the sensors on, if it come at me that fast it would have been able to give me a haircut🤣 Hope your keeping well and safe at home too. Loving the videos as always👍

[@willhicks646]

I have a 4k TV and that does not look like 4k, also that does not look stable when the gimble is moving. Did you compress the video?

[@tampadroneography]

Can’t wait for the distance test. Very interesting drone 🧐👍👍👍👍👍

[@DavidDeLuge]

It's hard to judge the video quality when KZbin applies compression but it doesn't seem to be great when compared to others you have reviewed.

[@derekpirie9188]

Nicely laid out display. The standard features are Excellent. Although there is some skip in view, i am sure that further upgrades will correct this. To Wilcek, ""They really don't know how to design and name a product properly lol "". This is a multi platform product that has many functions not found on any other. Hand held Video Cam & Camera; Quad Copter with a fully waterproof shell and floats. Which other Manufacturer can even match this, no one. The Egg is the perfect shape and so its name says it PowerEgg X . Lastly over 20 minutes flight time is not bad.

[@someonerandom8912]

I already know this is going to be a great video!

[@BrandonG85]

Dustin with madd dad reflexes, dodging that drone at full speed lol. 😂 Nice review and glad those drone batteries didn’t explode in your house yikes! 😱 That is insane that it warped/melted the drone! That’s a huge flaw in my book! Be safe Dustin! 😊🤙🏼

[@tampadroneography]

Can't wait for the range test.. interesting

[@CountForsycula]

I just found out about this drone and really wanted to like it. It seems like it has really neat features but it's still rough around the edges. Kinda hard to take the plunge when I could have a Mavic Air 2 for a bit less

[@Canyon76]

Another great and thorough review from Pele's breast! When you get a chance, could you test the imagery and video quality on a clear day. I have seen other reviews that claim the imagery and video quality seem to be sub par to almost unuseable unless it's only for KZbin. Some even claim that the imagery and video is better when used as a hand held vs when in drone mode! I did notice some blurriness and I'm hoping that can be fixed with a Firmware update. Maybe compare imagery and video with another drone, not the Mavic 2 Pro exclusively since that has that 1 inch sensor. Looking forward to the waterproof review!

[@TaitGuy]

Dustin, never thought of this till now, but I wonder if you did any of the quick shots, focused on your self and moved several feet to the left, right, forward or backward if it would still follow or track you? Just curious... Also, I'm curious about the payload weight... Mahalo as always for your info-vids.

[@DustinDunnill]

Good question. I'll try some of those things in a future flight. Replacement in on the way 👍

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

Great video bro 👊

[@candlercando]

Thanks for the review. I like the functions of this drone, however many many times in the video there were what looked like frame drops on the sd card recorded video.

[@KubaSobecki]

Great review Dustin, thank you!

[@lorageproductions]

Great video. Can you do D log and is there any distortion that you have noticed?

[@willhicks646]

First of all, you should do a range test. Also, how do you make all of this money for drones? I am a kid and am just getting into drones, but I am broke.

[@cptrush3671]

he makes money from youtube, he may have a job also (not sure). but many companies will send him drones to test and do reviews on. he don't always get to keep them but i'm sure some he does.

[@mrguitman99]

I like the versatility of the drone and all its different functions, but its a turnoff to see that it has hiccups in the video and/or frame drops with higher FPS. We'll see if it is an update away from a fix. Thanks for this one Dustin. Stay safe!!!

I've been wanting a good FPV done and keep going back to the Bebop 2 Power. -Auriga App looks awesome -Price

BradK if you add the possibility to use 4G and make flips and rolls... there is nothing on the market.

[@BradKwfc]

@@tuttoto I think your right. I see a lot of drones out there but most of them are crap in fancy packages. Bebop has already established itself. Now I just need to wait till a Power model comes up on ebay.

I think it's great for us that we have another competitor to DJI. This will keep prices.

That video pausing almost looks as if its caused by processor overloading when its running calculations doing the person tracking. Was it video pausing when you were just in normal flight mode?

[@Aerotone_FPV]

Stay safe man

[@billsomrak]

Well, having a drone "self-destruct" if you leave the discharging battery in it isn't a good sign. Something like that should have been caught in product development. The stuttering at 4K 60FPS is terrible. That's another thing which should have been ironed out prior to release. Some of the flight modes seemed to work okay at least. Perhaps, if/when they send you a replacement, it will function better. You were pretty "socially distanced" out there on Maui. I know that Hawaii gets a lot of Asian visitors, so perhaps that's how it got transmitted there. Most of the Midwest on the mainland has had only light exposure. As an example, in my entire county, there have only been 30 confirmed cases & no fatalities. In the entire state of Ohio, there have only been 1400 confirmed cases, with 25 deaths (which is far, far less than the regular Flu). I'm thinking that there will be a "soft startup", at least in the continental States. Places which have been lightly impacted may be allowed to restart businesses, with some restrictions. Other "hot spots", may have to endure being shut in for some time longer. Hope everything goes okay out there on the islands. Mahalo!
