Black Falcon Drone Review

Well, ordered a pair of these, my order was supposed to be as follows:

2 x black falcon drones 4k with dual cameras
1 upgraded battery
1 Spare replacement rotors

I have to say this: the drones shipped did not have dual cameras; the “upgraded battery” was no different than any of the others. I had to double-check the shipping label. Indeed, the drones were to be dual cameras. The drones were shipped in a “bag,” not a box, and the bag it self was not even a bubble wrap type. The soft cases are flimsy and probably provided little protection during shipping. I am surprised they made it in one piece.

Review of the drone itself: Well constructed??? The bodies are flimsy, and the rotors are secured with plastic yolks to the motors. The arms, well, let’s say the arms fold back in rather easily—a little too easily. Camera is well protected.

First flight: Take off was no problem, but I constantly had to adjust drift. The controls took a little getting used to from my other drone, and I still have to continually adjust for drift. Hovering in one place is a pain. Nimble and quick in the air, once I got used to the controls. Now let’s talk camera, Definitely NOT 4K, how High Up am I??? Your guess is as good as mine. The software app did not give you that information, and the ads in the software are NICE… NOT Taking Pictures and videos are Um Pain in the behind.

Time to Land…. SMACK going down hard. Wait, why did it flip over while coming down? That must have been a fluke; let’s try that again, Second landing attempt; try to make that a little more gracefully. Nope, same thing. SMACK down hard, and this time, the battery flew out. Nice retaining clip for the battery, and the arms folded in on themselves on landing. Wait, that should not happen.

I may give this a little more getting used to, but for now (considering I lost one of two drones. More on that in another post), I am not impressed. And No, Black Falcon, I am not looking for a refund, And I am not looking for you to send me anything. And No, I am not taking this post down. Overall, though, I recommend this drone that I got off Amazon, and again I am not endorsing it, but it seems to be a lot better than the Black Falcon, and the phone software has no ads.
