Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decent for first time drone pilot and easy to use. Mine unfortunately broke and needs a new motor after one use due to a fall it should have been able to withstand better. But when operating normally, had decent power and easy to learn controls and connected to my iPhone (most recent iOS) with no issue. Just wish was little more study but get what you get for the low cost. Was very impressed with the 2k camera.

From unboxing to the first flight, everything was smooth and easy. The app is intuitive, the controller feels great, and the drone flies very steadily—perfect for beginners. You don’t need to know any complicated settings, just press a button to start recording. For the best resolution, I recommend using a memory card directly in the drone. The GPS return-to-home is very accurate. It really removes all the barriers to flying, letting you simply enjoy the fun of flying and creating.

So this is a budget GPS drone. It's supposed to hold position, be able to follow your phone, utilize way points etc. It's super light weight. Honestly, looking at the price I didn't have high expectations and have been burned by more expensive drones in the past. I also own a very expensive professional drone for my photography which cost $1000 more. First thing I did was turn everything on. Same process as the professional one and start flight. The last drone I had couldn't keep a stable position and tried to suicide itself constantly. The Contixo F28 held position, albeit with a little drift, roughly about a 1.5 foot. Not bad. Then I took it up to the flight ceiling to check controller communication stability. No problems here. Return to home worked. About a foot and a half off. Pretty impressed so far. The photo and video are exactly what you'd expect from a budget 2k camera. Usable but they aren't going to win any awards. Battery & remote charges simply with usb. Drone case is nice and it comes with extra propellers. Durability is pretty good. It ate a couple of light crashes with no issue. Every feature it said it had it did well. Waypoint Flight, Point of interest "Flies in a circle around a set point" , GPS Follow "follows your phone", Image Recognition "highlight an object and it will keep it in the frame", Hand Gestures "Take a photo by holding up three fingers", Return to Home. The controller features all worked. Headless mode was especially fun since that will be easier for newer pilots. Things it doesn't do as well as the $1k+ drones: No camera gimbal. Video during flight will have extreme pitch and roll during maneuvers. GPS stability. It's good but nowhere near as rock solid as the expensive stuff. No manual adjustments for photo exposures such as shutter speed, iso etc. No high resolution images or 4k video. All of which should be expected on a budget drone. That said this would a perfect drone for someone wanting to learn how to fly and expensive drone first without worrying about expensive crashes.

I received this F28 Drone today, my first impression is that the product itself has exceeded its price. I used to own 2 drones, without exception, they all came with very cheap packaging. This drone has a strong and sturdy carrying case, and also a plastic film wrapped around the case, making it a high class gift look. I can't wait to unbox and try it after receiving it because this drone doesn't require registration. With the help of the instruction manual, I managed to have the drone in the air pretty quickly. The camera is crystal clear with 2K quality, allowing me to check my roof. There was a breeze but the drone was flying steady. I wasn't flying that long because I didn't have the battery fully charged first, it landed at the spot where it took off after the battery went out, although it may landed a few steps away from the exact took off spot (There's a landing pad included with the drone, I had it took off from it so it's obvious), however I think that's completely normal to me. I am very happy about the first flight experience and will be taking it with me on my next travel with a fully charged battery.

I was excited to get this drone and start playing with it. Upon opening, the first thing I noticed is how light the remote control is. I didn’t know how to feel about that since most of the drones I have had in the past has some weight to it, not heavy but feels better built. Opening the battery cover, you will see a rechargeable battery and option to use AAA batteries. I thought it is a nice option but the drone itself is just rechargeable batteries only. It did not come with a manual but I found it on their website. I have tried many different ways to get the controller and drone to pair up. It is supposed to be paired out of the box. I have tried to reset it. I am not sure which combination worked but finally I was able to get the propellers to spin. That is an indicator that the drone and controller are communicating. I did a test flight in my backyard. At first, the controllers seem to work as expected. As I got higher, the commands became inconsistent. I had to adjust quickly as the drone kept flying further and further. I got a little nervous but was able to figure out which way to turn the joystick. I got it to back and began to lower it. Again, the controls were a bit inconsistent. The drone drifts also when you are not inputting anything on the controller. With GPS enable drones, they should just hold still. It reminded me of the Nintendo Switch controller drift. But the drone drifts in a direction a lot. I had to quickly adjust again and regain control. It eventually landed because it hit the side of my house because of it drifting. I tried to do a compass calibration but could not get it to work. I have tried to do a factory reset and the indicators that is supposed to happen based on the instruction manual were not happening. Now for the phone pairing. I cannot get it to pair. I am using a Pixel 9 Pro. I got it connected to the wifi but it kept saying “Device not connect”. The controller clamp to keep the phone in place also hits the volume button. So when I have the phone centered, my phone just brings up the volume slider constantly. I would have to move my phone off-centered so that the clamp does not hit the volume buttons. Even if I was able to reset this drone and figured out the controls, the design of it needs to be improved. It may work better if you don’t use a phone with it. But there a features that a phone will give you. I do not recommend this drone based on the experience I got with it.

Drone operates as described. Pro model has significant improvements with added ease of use features, higher resolution camera, and a display screen on control unit. Battery life of about 20 minutes and 3 hour charge time makes having backup batteries necessary. Carrying case very convenient and holds everything necessary for flight. Startup procedure quite detailed but must be followed precisely to operate.

Good fun for an entry drone. Fairly easy to set up! I got it as a birthday gift for my dad to mess around with, and he's enjoyed a lot of the features, but it can take a little bit to get used to flying it.

This is my first time flying a GPS drone, I thought the setup would be complicated, but it wasn’t, just an extra 10 seconds for compass calibration. The build quality is excellent and feels full of tech! The 2K video looks really clear, and the return-to-home feature is amazing, I never have to worry about losing the drone when the battery runs low.

Honestly for the price I expected a little better. It was an easy set up & the instructions was clear but the battery life is not good at all. You got about 10 mins of using it before it losing battery. It’s a good starter drone for sure.

I wanted to gift this drone to one of my family members as his birthday gift, but he never used any drone before, so I thought I'd get a drone that's not that pricey. I checked the comments before placing the order feeling a bit concerned, but I decided to give it a try eventually. It was delivered very quickly after placing the order, he was very happy after I gave it to him. Given that he hadn't used a drone before so he followed the instructions step by step from the manual, which were charging the battery, downloading the app, powering up the drone, and continuing with the pairing process, calibration process, which looked a bit complicated but it's really not that hard. We didn’t encounter any issues with the app, as some other reviewers mentioned. The connection was smooth, and controlling the drone after takeoff was easy with the remote. Even though the drone looks plastic, it’s surprisingly sturdy. He accidentally crashed it into a tree in our yard, but it only got a few scratches and kept flying without any issues. We played with it for about 20 minutes, and we’re very satisfied with it overall. Hopefully, he practices more, after all trimming branches was harder than flying the drone!

I bought the Contixo F28 GPS Drone for my husband and we’ve had so much fun with it! It’s easy to control, takes smooth videos, and the GPS return feature works perfectly. Great drone for the money!

My first drone and first RC device. I bought it to do a survey of our roof following some storms since I am not as young and limber as I used to be. It was pretty easy to operate, even for a rookie, even though I did make some mistakes. I have had good and fast service to all of my questions and getting any needed parts. My skills have improved and I love using the drone as a part of my other hobby, photography. This has been a great addition to my photography equipment and a very useful tool for assessing storm damage. I look forward to many hours of using this drone.

Nice camera for the price, battery life is good. overall a very nice starter drone for the amateur flyer

I was impressed with the performance of this drone for the price. It's a great starter drone for both adults and kids to get into the hobby. It does everything it claims to do and it does it good, not like some of the cheap junk you find claiming a thousand different features and most of them barely work. I would purchase this again, no regrets

This low end drone does everything you want and need. There are two drawbacks that might concern other customers, the battery last about 30 minutes and you have to use your phone. It does not have a separate monitor. It would be 5 stars if it did.

Great drone for the price! The range is very impressive and is extremely stable and easy to fly. It syncs with smartphones and hovers perfectly

I bought this for my six year old son. He loves it. It took a little bit of time to figure it out, but once we did it was very easy for my son to set up and use himself.

This is my first drone. Very easy to fly. It doesnt like a heavy breezy day. I like it so much i told my brother. He went and bought the same one.

As a beginner, my biggest fear was crashes, but this drone has been a lifesaver! Its durability is incredible. During practice, I clipped a few branches and only ended up with some scratches, with no impact on the flight. One time I even hit a house, but after simply replacing the propellers, it was flying again. Swapping the blades is super easy, just unscrew, replace, and tighten. It really gives me the confidence to fly.

Very weak video transmission signal, The drone handles very well and goes very far, but you always have to keep it in sight because you won't be able to see anything on your phone. I returned it because the Wi-Fi connection between the drone and the cell phone stopped working.
