Visuo XS809W Folding FPV Camera Drone Flight Test Review

This cheap portable folding FPV drone records relatively good 720p HD video. Throw it in your backpack and take it hiking. Find the 720p HD version WITH ALTITUDE HOLD here $10 off with coupon HJUNVS *Spare batteries here* NOTE THAT CURRENT VERSION NOW BEING SHIPPED CONTAINS ALTITUDE HOLD FEATURE.
and here is a cheaper low resolution 0.3MP version (does not have 720p HD camera), $8 off with coupon LQPMPV
Pros
- The quadcopter's arms are foldable to make it very portable, such as in a backpack (similar to DJI Mavic Pro).
- Very maneuverable and sporty for a camera quadcopter. (Note, the current version being shipped now contains altitude hold)
- Can be controlled and flown via its controller or your smartphone/tablet. Controller buttons are all well labeled.
- Records relatively good quality 720p 20fps HD FPV video directly to a microSD memory card inserted into the quadcopter. Will also record video to your phone via WiFi, however the WiFi transmitted video is of lower VGA resolution.
- Camera lens can be swiveled up (to view sky and horizon), or down (to eliminate props from camera view)
- XSW UFO app is available on Google Play here and itunes here
- Good control and FPV range of about 80 meters.
- Headless mode and one key return.
- Does not require FAA registration (and as of 5/19/2017, no quadcopter does anymore :)
Cons
- Proprietary battery.
- Version now being shipped contains altitude hold. As such, flight capability may be different than shown in this video, with less throttle control due to the height hold feature.
