Funsky 913 Brushless FPV GPS 1080p Camera Drone Flight Test Review

This relatively inexpensive GPS drone includes brushless motors and a 1080p HD camera. Also comes with a very nice carrying case. Find it here
Pros
- Includes a briefcase style foam carrying case for the drone and its accessories.
- GPS/GLONASS drone with true return to home and landing capability on command, loss of signal, and low battery.
- Brushless 1306 2700KV motors.
- 1080p full HD camera with micro SD card recording.
- FPV video may be viewed via the Heliway app available on Google Play here and iTunes here
- Drone's 7.7V 1500mah LiHV battery provides 10 to 15 minutes flight time, time depending on how aggressive that you fly the drone. Hovering or slow flight provides longer flight time.
Cons
- Although it has SD card recording capability, you still may see some frame dropping in the recorded video. I was using a Class 10 SD card, so I'm not sure what was causing the problem?
- App requires a phone with 802.11ac WiFi. Not everyone has such WiFi on their phone. Before purchasing, strongly recommend that you verify that your phone has 802.11ac WiFi capability.
- Controller may be set to Mode 1 by default. Strongly recommend that you do a manual takeoff for your first flight to verify which stick the throttle is set to. Fortunately the modes can be switched if desired.
- Very important to do both compass calibration and IMU calibration before your first flight. If you forget to do such, your first flight may be memorable.
