ZLL SG108 Pro | Mini Drones are the all the rage these days

[@DougEfresh.]

Lol 249 goodness points! Love that, too funny but very misleading.

[@geraldcongdon8681]

Thanks for great information about this drone. Looks like great next step drone for me.

[@memedbedirli6111]

I think considering all the pro video and photo capabilities of Dji mini, this drone is great for casual flyers.Most will disagree but i also think dji mini and mini 2 a pro drone.I mean unless you are a content creator who needs 4k, better smart features, perfect stability.If you want to post your footage to instagram from time to time and also wanna have fun flying this is a perfect drone.Instagram crops the video quality anyways.Dji must make a model for around 250 or 200 for casual users.

[@dosomestuff1949]

Mini se bro. It’s 299 but it’s still the most affordable drone.

[@AquaTech225]

May be that thinking the laws here if stopped some will just take it for what it’s printed as vs actually weighing it. Hell I give them props for the possible though of evading law

[@2GringosOnTheGulf]

im looking a this in Mexico June 2022 and its over 570 bucks Canadian lol

[@imsid2253]

One of the best cameras for that price atleast

[@dawid4087]

I wonder if you can lift gopro with it. Have you tested that?

[@HalfChrome]

I haven’t. It probably could but would negatively affect flight performance. A naked gopro would be fine though.

[@SW-Video]

The ZLRC SG108 4K was my first drone. Not sure why they called it a 4k because it wasn't but it was a good trainer drone as long as I didn't go too far out. The price was right for a decent trainer drone. Worth noting is I made the mistake of letting my SUV get between me and the drone. It lost connection and flew into the ground so I would make sure nothing is between the pilot and drone; especially anything metal. Good honest review Jack .

[@HalfChrome]

Thanks. We try to be honest in our reviews.

[@riverstone1156]

just won one on ebay for £50 looks new with bag n 2bats..havent flown properly yet.. when u flew urs did u hav 5g phone..or would a 5g phone get longer fpv range do u know.? cheers

[@HalfChrome]

You don’t connect the drone to a cellular service. The drone creates a wifi network and your phone connects to that.

[@-Aerox-1840]

I think the reason it says 249 grams, is because of the SG108 normal model, because that one is under 250g.

[@driewiel]

Grams are smaller in China.

[@HalfChrome]

LOL

[@uandeleon290]

The gimbal I see shaking to the side its Perfect If its 3 axis

[@taassukitalat4761]

More video for sg108 pro

[@dariomuz8253]

your drone has 3000mah battery confirm? (weighs 275 g)This drone for europe with 2200 mah battery weighs 248g!!

[@HalfChrome]

That would be ideal

[@jormol]

I believe it's the non-pro version which weighs 248g. The difference is not only the battery though. The pro also has the 2 axis gimbal and an sd-card slot. Not sure if the pro version with the 2200mAh battery will go below 250g.

[@dariomuz8253]

@@jormol yes version pro Major 249 grams Is not only battery.Unfortunately this problem of Weight Is not possible resolve.thanks.I buy hubsan zino mini pro and Is a big one now!👍

[@jacintoalfaro7157]

what max size Micro SD can it take?

[@driewiel]

I found out that it does recognize a 64gb card. But on both 64gb and 32gb the video stutters. At least on those I have. 16gb works best. Which is OK as the files are not as big as true 4k. So what's the use of a larger capacity card?

[@Glenrsi]

Should have had EIS then it may have been worthwhile. Photos look okay, but video is not that great.

[@gleavitt1]

I don't understand why people are complaining so much about the hardly shaky video. Just think how shaky it WOULD be without a gimbal at ALL.

[@HalfChrome]

True. But what is the video useable for?

[@gleavitt1]

@@HalfChrome: Touche. It wouldn't be usable for professional footage like a Mavic mini, but, like you said it would be good for practice footage

[@HalfChrome]

Yes. That’s about it. There are better options for that dollar amount I like the Flyhal FX1

[@HalfChrome]

Or spend more for the mini SE

[@gleavitt1]

@@HalfChrome True. Is there anything you would recommend as a backup to the mavic mini? I was thinking about ordering this one. Not to do professional footage , just to have fun. I'm on a really tight budget and don't want anything more than 140 dollars. Thank you for your time. 😀

[@alankjkj1]

I think I will stay away from this one. I have a Mavic Pro but I won't be able to fly it legally soon so I am going to wait for the DJI mini 3. This drone you are talking about is more than 250g so it is of no use to me.

[@HalfChrome]

And many people unfortunately

[@jormol]

@@HalfChrome Any idea about the weight difference between the Pro's 3000mAh battery vs the non-pro's 2200mAh battery? Could be that with the non-pro battery you would actually end up

[@HalfChrome]

Not sure. Sorry

[@NOT-A-BAD-GUY]

You lost me at the shaky cam part, I'm off.

[@xhappy425]

First!

[@Rcrdo072]

problem with the weight maybe because they upgraded the battery from 2200mah to 3000😅

[@pollenhaze8239]

@ 1:00 Instantly notices the tilted gimbal

[@madness5327]

Just really getting into drones ,so watching alot vids on youtube . Your reviews are the best I have come across. Clear to the point ,with all the info I need . Thanks.

[@HalfChrome]

Glad to help

[@mulyo21channel]

This is perfect drone👍

[@Fr3ud]

Probably 249g without battery

[@marcello5199]

178g without battery

[@meepotello626]

Jack can you review the xiaomi funsnap diva drone? I think it's an interesting drone for it's price with video quality that rivals that of DJI's with a price tag 30% lower than the DJI mini

[@HalfChrome]

I’ll look into it

[@dannythomson5239]

249G being stamped on the drone is still good, 99% of cops trying to pull you for flying will swallow the bald faced lies i tell them while pointing out 249G LOL

[@HalfChrome]

LOL

[@tommyg957]

Evidently “249g” is just “bling” haha

[@alanjm1234]

Maybe it's the G loading that will break it when it crashes?

[@jlmercs6906]

Tello ot this drone what is your recommeded

[@dougcooper4917]

Thank you Jack! Interesting!

[@radrich227]

Banggood lists the weight as 278g.

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

Yet another awesome video my friend!

[@mikebrach5412]

Goodness points lol, honestly just another crappy budget drone thanks for the review

[@driewiel]

You only drive Rolls Royce I presume?

[@HalfChrome]

That’s most people, right?

[@driewiel]

@@HalfChrome Idiots crying about the video being a bit shaky. Let me tell you, two years ago a drone like this would have been impossible for this price. They all think they are working for National Geographic. Besides Mike Brach, where are your videos? Show us what great drones you have and which amazing video you managed to capture. That's what KZbin is for! BTW I just got my SG108 Pro delivered. But it doesn't have the 249g on it! Ah well when it flies it is lighter or it wouldn't fly now would it?

[@richardmanueltv7558]

Is this better than x2 pro 3? In terms of pix and vid. Advantage of x2pro3 is the 3axis gimbal. But can u confirm which lix & vids is better?

[@driewiel]

X2 Pro 3 does not have an SD card slot. Get the SG108 Pro. Be careful it is indeed the Pro and not the SG108 without 2-axis gimbal.

Don't ask him. Ask your mother.

Its Under 250 grams Without The battery 😂

True. You can throw it like a football.

[@uandeleon290]

If it has A Yaw Axis Its stable Im guessing Because only see Shaking is in the yaw axis

[@HalfChrome]

Yes. That would help

Really Help can I ask a Question Can You recommend Zino2 Steve says Mini is for people Who has no or don't Want a Flight Certificate In other Countries Like the Philippines Its awesome limit is 7 kilo Can You recommend It

No. Check out my Zino video. It isn’t reliable.

[@danghuutrung1601]

sub rồi đó

[@terrencehill7309]

Just got this ordered looking forward to flying it since it will be a first drone owning with brushless motor gimbal and gps

[@driewiel]

You'll like it. Nobody is faster than this drone.

[@BendApparatus]

I have the previous version of this (still called pro) it only has a single axis camera. The camera is junk and the range is only about 25 meters but it flies steady strong and pretty fast for what it is. And it's fairly tough. I crashed it about a dozen times and finally one of the motors is showing instability.

[@driewiel]

@@BendApparatus The previous model is the SG108. Without the Pro. The FPV range can very very short. But some people got 500 meters or more. Not me. As for the camera, well the drone shakes too much. The camera itself isn't that bad. But you need a good stable flying drone for it to be sharp. And yes the SG108 flies great. Strong GPS. I never crashed it.

[@BendApparatus]

@@driewiel I meant the previous version of this model line. The llz sg107pro...same exact drone body. But it looks like the 108 got all new internals... because the 107's camera would quit at less than 200 feet and the drone itself couldn't make it to 300... But like I said. Strong gps lock, good compass, gyro and actual functional optical flow...

[@driewiel]

@@BendApparatus SG107 looks almost the same. Not sure the type of plastic is also as tough as the SG108? I have both the SG108 and SG108 Pro. The SG108 Pro was my favorite drone flying manually from my bike. Very easy to control. But I broke the gimbal somehow in my pannier. Gimbal guards all suck. That is why I would like a cheap drone with only EIS. Although the pictures of the SG108 are actually better then the Pro version. Only it doesn't have an SD card. Riding a bike with while staring at the phone screen doesn't work.

[@-Aerox-1840]

There's a newer sg108 pro now, It's called the "Yan 3" and it has a obstacle avoidance system, I want to know if it's better than the k911. Nobody reviewed it yet, its pretty new.

[@HalfChrome]

It’s likely marginally better with similar issues.

[@driewiel]

Same as SG108 Max probably. I may be wrong, but it looks like they removed the sd-card slot as well as the 2-axis gimbal! That would be a definite NO for me. The Pro version (Yan 2)does have an sd-card slot and 2-axis gimbal.

[@driewiel]

@@HalfChrome I damaged the gimbal on my SG108 Pro somehow during transport. But I liked it a lot more than my S188 or F11 4k that have much better video. SG108 Pro is just a fun small drone that flies great and has really solid GPS. The type of drone you easily grab and use often. Unfortunately prices have gone up. But I can still recommend it for under €150. Because video quality isn't everything. For me the video quality is enough.
