Learn to Fly Bwine F7 Drone with 4K Camera and 3-axis Gimbal

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

Very cool. I have three Mavic MInis... The hardest part is finding a nice day to fly. This time of the year the wind is too strong most days... Good luck with your drone. I imagine we will see more about it... I see yours works better in the wind than mine. I think anything about 10 mph winds is too windy for me... Anyhow... Nice new toy... Have fun with it...

[@HLModTech]

LOL. That was 3 days of attempting to find a flyable moment too. The first day 20mph winds. The next it rained. =( She really does hold her own in the wind. How do you end up with 3 Mavic Mini's? =) Love that they are small enough to not be so regulated. Do you have issues with regulation up North?

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

@@HLModTech I had two and crashed one, so I bought another one... so I would have two... Someone made a comment on the video that maybe I should ask DJI if I was covered, I was and they sent me a new one, so not I have three... We have the same rules as the USA...

[@HLModTech]

@@kensmapleleafretirement Super cool that you were able to get the replacement. Bummer you are not Doc Oct and have enough arms to run all three at once. 😜

[@Rauly84]

Thanks a lot for sharing . I got mine yesterday

[@HLModTech]

Glad I could help. Have fun flying!

[@dugy40]

I love these. I’ve bought 3 of these. First one Amazon for bout 500 3 batteries. My second two 300 on Facebook marketplace. Changed blades on one. Two white,two blue propellers. Remember WHITE=WRONG. (Backwards thread) easy way for me to remember.

[@HLModTech]

300 is a sweet price. 💯🔥

[@dugy40]

There’s another one on there now.

[@davidwayneprins]

I've debated about buying a drone. Just not sure if I'd get enough use out of it to make it worthwhile. My two boys and I have three Traxxas RC cars from Cobblestone sitting in the basement as proof of such an "investment".

[@HLModTech]

You are 100% correct. Finding the need... is the part that matters. I like that this one is solid even in a wind. My first few drones would get kicked around in the conditions I am playing with now. We have RC rigs collecting dust too. =(

[@ATLTRANSPORTER2]

Nice same as the SJRC F7S PRO on Ali Exprss for 233.00 with two batteries

[@HLModTech]

Sweet, Nice to see the price come down. How long does it take to ship it?

[@ATLTRANSPORTER2]

That may take about two weeks on Ali Express@@HLModTech

[@HLModTech]

Makes sense. It has been a while since I made a Ali Express purchase. Thanks for the info!

[@BendApparatus]

Yes this drone's greatest strength is it's a strong flier. But it eats the battery like crazy when in sports mode or in regular mode fighting the wind. Also what is up with the SJRC version NOT showing battery health on the remote!!!

[@HLModTech]

Are you talking about a different vid? I have an SJRC, but it was not in this clip.

[@BendApparatus]

@@HLModTech no, no. This Bwine f7 is a rebranded SJRC f7. fjrc updated their version to include front facing 120° infrared obstacle detection in the empty window In front of the drone. But you're not missing much. The obstacle detection may come in handy if you're flying it around tall structures. But overall it just add another annoying BEEP to the drone. Luckily through the SJRC app (not the Bwine) you can disable obstacle detection. By the way, next time you fly it can you check if your radio/remote actually monitors the battery life? Because like I said, mine does NOT...the icon is there but always at 100%

[@HLModTech]

@@BendApparatus Ah. I get it now. I will keep that in mind next time I get mine flying. Winter in Michigan is not the best time for flights... but I will see what I can do.

[@MrArcher7]

I've watched about three of these videos and they all say, 'okay, let's take off'. How does it take off though? How are the motors initiated?

[@HLModTech]

Both sticks up and in. Cannot believe I did not have that on camera. 🤦‍♂️ Will be better next time. Thanks for the heads up.

[@HLModTech]

There is also a take off option on the screen, but I have rarely used it.

[@MrArcher7]

@@HLModTech thank you for your prompt response.

[@olasunkanmisamuelolamolu8126]

I can't find the recorded video and pictures

[@HLModTech]

They get stored in an SD card. Did you have one in? Also which sort of phone are you using?

[@MrJamillC]

How do you adjust the camera

[@HLModTech]

The dials on the front of the remote will let you move it up and down.

[@sergioduran8948]

I bought this exact model but can't get it to connect to my Samsung s20 . One of my son's has a iPhone and it does connect. My other son has the same phone as mine and it won't connect either. Appreciate and help.

[@HLModTech]

The only Samsung I have anymore is a S7... I will see what I can figure out though. Weather here is only 19F... Will see if I can catch a minute where the breeze is not evil and get back to you.

[@BendApparatus]

Have you checked all wifi settings? Some phones will not stay connected to wifi signals with no internet access. I had to set my Moto edge and Pixel 6a to stay connected. It also helps to set phone to airplane mode. This way the phone is not actively looking for online signals.

[@dugy40]

Just watch a video of a guy trash talking the batteries. He posted a review from Amazon bout a battery. He didn’t post the part where Bwine sent him 3 new batteries

[@BendApparatus]

@@dugy40 you post on the wrong string? I like my F7 it's about as good as I'd want a gps drone to be. But I'm not really into photography or footage. Just cruising bird's eye view escapism.

[@dugy40]

@@BendApparatus you misunerstood ... my comment is pro bwine f7, i said a guy took a reiview bad mouthng the batterys. but he left out the part about bwines awesome service that gave him 3 free batterys

My WETRENDIE Foldable F7HB2 Drone with Camera for Adults 4k, 9800ft Video Transmission, Camera Drone with 3-axis Gimbal + Bwine Drone Blades for F7HB2, 4 Pcs Original Propeller, Flying time settings 3 hours for movis, 4 hours for going inside caves and 50 minutes for beginners Is very cool

[@HLModTech]

Very cool. Is it a clone of the F7?

[@Som3009]

Yes has a Gimbal and 5 km range and it can go 9800ft

[@Som3009]

It has a flying time settings 3 hours for movies 4 hours for going inside caves and 50 minutes for beginners

[@HLModTech]

That sounds awesome!

[@Som3009]

I know right!!

[@dugy40]

just got my drone, it will not sync with controller, i charged everything. controller is making a beep, drone is staying red flashing lights

[@HLModTech]

You do need to find the wifi that the drone is emitting. What sort of phone are you using?

[@dugy40]

@@HLModTech iPhone 14 latest iOS. It doesn’t even reach Wi-Fi part. Drone won’t pair with remote. I did however find out my 128gb card has to be fat32 not exfat. I took card out and it paired. I went through all the calibrations now I get a no gps signal can’t start motors. Maybe I’ll get it figured out. I was indoors. Will outside later when it gets warm. I used a disk program to format the 128gb to fat 32

[@HLModTech]

I am jealous of the phone. =) You will connect to wifi of the drone with your phone.... then eventually the app and the controller sync up. This section of the vid shows how long it took mine to catch up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXPRnpKul82So7s

[@dugy40]

Stupid me was using my Wi-Fi only phone. Not my data phone. Haha. Everything is ok now.

[@dugy40]

@@HLModTech I found this is manual. But I can’t find the speed wheel they refer to. ---> The F7GB2 has 3 speed ranges 14.76 ft/s, 29.53 ft/s, and 39.37 ft/s. The default speed is medium speed. Turn the speed wheel to the right to adjust the flight speed up to 8437ft/s. and turn the wheel to the left to slow the aircraft down to 14.76 ft/s,which provides diverse flight experience

[@wenden0505]

My camera will not calibrate and fix. It just flops around. Why? It has been working great but is now useless

[@HLModTech]

Any chance a wire came lose? Have you powered it all the way off? Swapped batteries? Fingers crossed it comes back to working for you.

[@lanphanh]

Does anyone know how to enable the Wifi password for this drone to protect it?

[@HLModTech]

I do not believe there is a way to protect that password. Are you assuming someone would be trying to take over your drone?

[@lanphanh]

@@HLModTech Yes, I called the tech support and get an answer that there is no way to protect our wifi by the password. I don't know if they did in purpose or what? Now a day, there is noone using the wifi without the password.

[@HLModTech]

@@lanphanh The wifi on the drone is different than the wifi in your house. It is just a link between the 3 devices (phone, drone, & controller). I doubt any companies have a password for their drones wifi.

[@dugy40]

Examine takes you to Wi-Fi.

[@HLModTech]

Great tip. Thank you. 👍

[@KhemendraVerma-iy4bi]

Falying time.....????

[@HLModTech]

It comes with 2 batteries so in theory you can fly 60 minutes. I never did though as my neck gets sore way before I hit 20 minutes of flying...
