F28 A MUST Buyers DO NOT Waste Time on any lower

I started out with the $50-60 drones and did not get more than a few short flights before they fly off, crash or get run over by a car. It turns out that GPS is the real difference maker with these drones if you actually want something that you can use over and over again. The size also made a big difference in my experience. The smaller and lighter F19 or similar seemed to get bullied a bit by any little gust of wind but once I tried the F28 for the first time I was blown away by how much more stable the drone is and the overall ease of use and far more fun. The GPS not only makes it more stable in flight but will auto-pilot if disconnected or prompted to do so. "Going Home" mode bring the drone back to where you started your flight from should the signal get disconnected or you lose sight of it.

This is my second Contixo drone, and I'm really impressed with this brand. My first one didn't have GPS, so I went for this model with the 2K camera and GPS for more fun. I just fly it around my countryside for fun, and the one key takeoff and return features are my favorites. Simply press a button, and it takes off and hovers a few feet up. When I hit return, it comes back to the takeoff spot and lands right there. The GPS works great and keeps it steady outdoors, even in windy conditions. The brushless motors make a big difference too, this one doesn't drift off in the wind like my last one, which I'm really happy about. Setting up the GPS and compass calibration takes a bit more time than my first drone, but it's not a big deal since it makes the flight way more stable. The upgraded 2K camera is awesome, so much better than the 1080P one! The range is also way further than my old one, haven't even hit its limit yet (mostly because I'm a little nervous to fly it too far!). Overall, super happy with this upgrade, it was worth it!

I had never bought a drone before, but I decided to get this one with GPS to enjoy a safer flying experience. After receiving it, I carefully read the manual, and it wasn't as complicated as I expected. During my first try, I found the preparation steps actually flowed well, with no issues here. However, I couldn’t get any GPS signal at first, so I contacted customer service. They quickly responded, and I learned GPS can only be detected outdoors, it won’t work indoors! My second attempt went smoothly, the drone was ready for takeoff in no time, and it was easy to control by simply moving the joystick. The 2K camera is plenty high definition for me, giving a bird’s-eye view of everything I wanted to see. Just as advertised, the GPS lets the drone return to the takeoff point if the battery runs low, which is perfect!

The camera on this F28 is excellent—the 2K resolution delivers very clear footage. The drone is relatively small in size, but it has decent wind resistance, and the brushless motors provide plenty of power. The flight time is more than enough for me, with over 20 minutes of use and a range of more than 2,000 feet, which easily covers where I want to fly. Just keep in mind not to fly it in areas with too many obstacles, as that can affect the range.

This drone is so much fun to fly and is a quality drone at an affordable price. I highly recommend this drone if you are looking for flying fun for your kids! This drone is ready to fly right out of the box, no extra batteries needed. It's easy to operate and takes off after a simple calibration, making it perfect for beginners. I didn't find the calibration troublesome, firstly because it doesn't take much time, and secondly because the calibration is to make the drone smooth and problem free for the rest of the flight. The drone is responsive, the controls are simple very easy to use and fully functional. Comes with two batteries, a cool flight remote and extra replacement parts. Customer service was quick to respond, I noticed on my first two flights that the screen could get a little stuck, I asked customer service and got a quick response, the drone needs to be kept away from sources of interference or it will be affected, the area I chose to fly was next to a utility pole and this may have caused the problem. After I changed the location the problem didn't occur, the picture is great and the speed is very good, it's like you have full control. Overall, I love this product, it's definitely worth every penny and makes a great value and fun gift for the kids!

First and foremost, the 2K drone impresses with its exceptional performance and versatility, which is no less impressive for amateurs and professionals alike. It comes with HD 2K resolution for stunning video quality and crisp images, the drone is capable of capturing breathtaking landscapes, dynamic sporting events or unforgettable family moments in stunning clarity. The drones all feature advanced anti shake technology, even though it's not as effective as with a gimbal, but is good enough to capture smooth images, which is essential when producing professional content. In addition, the perfect combination of one key takeoff and landing, intuitive controls, and automatic flight modes make it easy for even beginners to master and for advanced pilots to get their hands on. Thanks to its lightweight design, it further lightens the load in terms of range, allowing me to enjoy longer flights and shoots without worrying about battery life. In addition, the real-time footage and easy sharing options add to my convenience; and to be sure, it's easy to show off my adventures on social media with a great user experience. This drone combines high-quality images, ease of use and innovative features. Anyone willing to fly to the skies will find a drone like this a great investment.

This is the first GPS drone I've purchased. Previously, I bought three drones without GPS, and none of them could fly stably outdoors. I'm very satisfied with this drone. Although I need to spend 2 more minutes on preparation before flying, the flight is very stable, and it seems to have quite powerful propulsion. The flight time of nearly half an hour is sufficient for me, and the presence of GPS ensures it can return safely. I think it's definitely worth the price to get this drone.

I’m really impressed with this drone! The 2600 ft transmission range is outstanding—flying along an open road, the signal stayed super stable and the video on the app was almost lag-free. The 2K camera may not be the highest resolution, but it’s more than enough for great shots. Honestly, aside from not having a gimbal, this drone feels perfect!

This drone is great for outdoor adventures! It’s lightweight and foldable so it doesn’t take up space, and the battery easily lasts through a hike or camping trip. The signal stays stable even in the mountains, and the 2K video captures the beauty of nature in great detail.

This is the third drone I’ve purchased, and so far it’s given me the best experience. The GPS performance is definitely a step above the others, it always returns precisely to the takeoff point with almost no error. What I love most is its stability; it hasn’t made a single mistake so far. The powerful brushless motors provide plenty of thrust, keeping it steady without being blown around by the wind.

I was pretty lost on which drone to buy as a beginner, but after a lot of research, I went with this one. The easy controls and stability really stood out. After charging the batteries, I followed the instructions, and my first flight went smoothly without even needing a phone connection. The app setup was quick too, just make sure to give it the necessary permissions, and don't let it auto-switch Wi-Fi networks, or you might lose the camera view. Once everything was set, a single button got the drone up in the air! It's super responsive but still easy to handle, and it stayed steady even in a bit of wind. Overall, this is an awesome beginner drone!

I had some issues during my first flight, the drone couldn’t find a GPS signal. But after contacting customer service, I got the explanation: GPS only works outdoors, ideally in open areas. Their response was fast, even providing a tutorial video. So far, I haven’t found any defects, all the features work reliably. I’d definitely recommend this drone to all my friends.

I got this little gadget ready for my upcoming trip and received it quickly. I ran into some issues while connecting it, but customer service promptly answered my questions. The order of operations is crucial! Since it was my first flight, I was worried it might be difficult to operate, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy! I'm more than willing to recommend this product to all my friends!

I bought this thinking it would be a lower priced alternative for a DJI. The labeling and product description talks vaguely about a gimbal. It does have a 2 axis gimbal, however I need a more stable imaging when flying. It’s an okay drone if picture quality is not needed, however I would try to find a 3 axis gimbal drone for ultra smooth shots. It handles wind speeds up to 5-7 miles but nothing over that. Battery power is okay get extras. Flying it is super easy with the app. Just be mindful of wind speed and calibrate it every time you fly it.

Super beginner-friendly with stability that exceeded my expectations! Even on windy days, the drone hovers steadily in the air. The GPS locks on quickly and accurately, and features like one-key takeoff, landing, and smart return-to-home work flawlessly.
