JXD 528 World's Cheapest GPS FPV "Follow Me" Drone Flight Test Review

There is no lower price GPS FPV camera drone with follow me, circle, and waypoint flying capability. This inexpensive GPS drone packs a lot of features for its price. Find it here But make sure to first verify that your phone is 802.11ac capable before purchasing.
Pros
- It's relatively inexpensive for what you get. Lots of features normally found in drones of much higher price.
- GPS position hold with true return to home and landing capability.
- Follow me, circle position, and waypoint flying capability.
- 720p HD camera.
- microSD card slot for direct video recording to avoid frame drops or lag in recorded video.
- 802.11ac 5G WiFi provides approximately 200 meters FPV video range without need of a repeater.
- FPV video, advanced flight features, and telemetry are all viewed or contolled via the JXD GPS app available on Google Play here or iTunes here
Cons
- Uses 802.11ac WiFi is not available on all phones. Again, verify that your phone is indeed 802.11ac capable before purchasing.
- Return to home did not automatically activate when I flew out of range. Although I have verifies on follow on flights that it does return to home automatically on low battery. If you fly out of range, the drone will hover. It's best to approach the last known position of the drone to attempt to regain contact and control. Otherwise you may need to wait for its battery to deplete to automatically activate return to home.
