Snaptain SP500 Foldable GPS Drone Stable Flyer!

[@williammoss1310]

Decent little drone. I got one for Christmas last week. 👍 Definitely not bad for toy grade drone! One issue I have is that the yaw stick on the remote is sticky. Maybe a touch of WD40 will fix it. It was REALLY cold outside when I flew it, so that could have caused the plastic to shrink or get hard. In a warm house, it doesn't stick. Battery life is awesome and the app is very detailed and intuitive. Camera quality is "good". In GPS mode, it's hovering stability surprised the heck out of me. I highly recommend!! Great video and review 👌.

[@bigguy1403]

Great video very well done. I just purchased this on Amazon for $100 because of your video.

[@CandidTechTV]

I just got this so this video was really helpful. I find it hard to believe that it has true 1080p video (or if so the quality just isn't that great). Great job testing out all of the functions. Pretty thorough. Thanks!

I picked one up off of Amazon. Nice drone. It works as advertised! As this is my first drone, it will take a little while to get the hang of it, but I learn something new each time I fly her.

Got this as a birthday gift from my son, really enjoying my first drone. Flies reasonably well even in moderate winds and tight area. Beginners mode defaults are a little odd (why so high on RTH?). One of my batteries was faulty, hoping Snaptain rectifies that. Thanks for the informative review & demo, really helped.

[@edrone_]

Thanks for your support and feedback!! I would contact snaptain customer support they will take care of you 👍

[@clarkkent8016]

Thank you for the great video. It helped me with a lot of issues that I had. The instruction booklet wasn't as detailed as I'd hoped. The only thing I would like to note is that the MicroSD slot allows up to 128gb, not just 32gb.

[@droneboyswales8605]

I bought one of these for my first drone and Ive modded the controller already lol! Tested mine in 24mph winds today and it wasnt bad at all. I've put a video up of my first ever drone flight, it was practice but really fun! I think this is going to get addictive haha

[@shandynantz]

I just bought one of these and tried it out these weekend. It lifted off the ground just fine and then flew directly into the side of my house. I'm getting a replacement, but there were several issues I had right out of the box. #1 One of the batteries had trouble charging. #2 The drone had trouble calibrating and by the time it did, the controller and drone battery where down to 50%. #3 As already mention, my drone took a suicide run at my house. The house won. After re-charging the battery and re-calibrating, it became pretty clear the one of the motors failed seconds after lift-off and that's why it veered drastically in the direction of the house. I've order a replacement and I really want this thing to work because it does have good reviews, but for me this drone gets an grade of F right now.

[@edrone_]

I would definitely make sure you contact snaptain customer support and let them know about your experiences they are pretty good about making it right usually

PLEASE translate into German: Ja ja, damals.... es sind nur ca 2 Jahre her - aber NEU ist immer teuer - nicht nur bei Quadcoptern, sondern egal was es ist. HEUTE 2022 habe ich 2 also in Worten ZWEI SP500 für insgesamt 108,00 inkl. Versand gekauft. Also 2x Copter incl. je 2 Akkus und dem bekannten Zubehör !!! Ich betrachte dieses Modell als Trainer - der Kamera/Wifi-Hdy Mist bleibt ausgeschalten. Die Geräte also nur fliegen, und die verschiedenen Umstände/Reaktionen in der Luft trainieren/lernen - also mit und ohne GPS. Das ist eine sehr gute und günstige Möglichkeit, ein sicherer Copter Pilot zu werden. Hierfür bietet sich die SP500 geradezu an, denn sie fliegt mit oder ohne GPS hervorragend und kann trotz geringem Gewicht und nur mit Bürstenmotoren ausgerüstet trotzdem auch einiges an Wind vertragen. Dies ist keine Werbung, das Modell wird heuer als Restbestand bei diversen sogenannten " Händlern " abverkauft - aber es lohnt wirklich auch heutzutage, sich ein solches Teil zu besorgen... das Copterchen ist echt gut! DANKE für das tolle Video, und für eure Aufmerksamkeit . Somit euch allen Allzeit guten Flug und Happy landings ! Frank

[@regardspratik]

I have a few questions. 1) Once it takes off (on its own) and I ask it to follow me for let's say 30 yards. When I tell it to "go home" does it come back to the receiver location or only where it took off from? 2) Do you know if it drops in water, would it float or sink? (i know it's not waterproof) just curious if it would float or not. 3) do you have a way to control the camera movement so that the video or pics don't have the blades in the shot?

[@edrone_]

If you press the return to home while flying the drone will always fly back to the takeoff spot. Now you can land and relaunch to change the homepoint. Not sure if it would float my guess would be no since it's not watertight the water would leak in and cause sinking but maybe not immediately? You can manually adjust the camera angle to get the props out of shot 😉
