Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really surprised how long it will fly I did buy 2 extra batteries that cost was pretty high 228 bucks for two

Great purchase, everything worked as expected. Thanks to the Best Buy team leading me with their knowledge.

I'm enjoying learning to fly this drone. very clear instructions, and great response from the drone. I would like to see the extent of its capabilities in the near future.

This has been well enjoyed by my 48 year old son! This was his Christmas gift from me & he loves it. He had a similar one years ago but it malfunctioned and crashed so he's been wanted another for many years. So far so good! I highly recommend!

This device is awesome! I totally recommend it for anything you need from this kind of product.

Contixo F33 drone. It's absolutely amazing. Out of the box, you're in for an amazing time with even more amazing visuals. This one takes awesome pics and videos. The video is 4K and amazing. It takes photos at 3840x2160p in JPEG format, and they're amazing. It takes a while to charge it to 3 hours, but the 42 minutes you get will blow you away. With a flight range of about 3 mi, your fun can go just as far as your imagination can take you. It includes a 32 gig SD card, but it can support up to 256 GB. And I will definitely be getting one. It has amazing features, such as a follow-me function that lets the drone follow you as you move. And orbit mode with a circle, an area that you said, and capture all the goings on. It also uses GPS to return to the departure location, which is awesome. And I definitely love the obstacle avoidance feature. It has a two-axis gimbal that works with EIS, which makes it very easy to control. The camera is wireless and connects via 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi, which is nice. The remote includes a 5.5-inch touchscreen, which is actually nice. I wouldn't call this an entry-level drone, but if you're looking for a nice one that's really packed with features, this is the one you want to check out. My only concern may be the charging time, but hey, you can't have everything.

The video and picture quality is amazing, taking it out the first time and flying it was so easy.

Beautiful Easy to fly drone at a great price, great built quality and great features

Just as good as a ship man theses guys did a great job

The drone has excellent camera and easy to operate.

Just an ok camera. Loud and the obstacle avoidance alarm is super annoying. I couldn’t figure out how to turn it down. It’s alright though.

Great drone for the price. Easy-to-fly. I love flying it.

The Contixo F33 Vortex Drone is a fantastic option if you are looking for a high quality mid level, affordable drone that has enough features to feel more high end, and you are an intermediate level pilot. Just to note- this drone must be registered with the FAA and your registration number must be clearly marked on the drone. Unpacking- Everything is pretty straight forward, and the drone and accessories come in a very nice hard plastic shell case. The drone compacts down pretty small with the rotor arms tucked in. It comes with 1 battery and it and the remote should be charged before any flight time. The kit does come with a usb-c charging cable, an extra set of rotors, in case rotor lock, a 32GB micro SD card, and the user guides. Setting up the drone- Once you have the drone out of the case and the battery charged, the battery just snaps into the top of the drone. The charging port is on the side of the battery so you can still charge the battery while it is attached to the drone. The rotor arms simply fold out and snap in place. It is a bit of force to get them to move, so sometimes it felt like I was going to break the arm off, but it was all fine. The 4k camera and gimble are under a protective cover, that I found kinda tricky to remove, and even a bit more tricky trying to put back on. I was being super careful as to not damage the camera and gimble setup. The landing feet simply fold down underneath the front rotors. The overall feel of the drone quality seems very well built and solid. It has a brushless motor so it can operate very smoothly and efficiently. The battery boasts a 40 minute flight time which is awesome. Remote- The remote control includes a 5.5" HD screen. I love this because there is not syncing issues like drones that need your phone to operate. The video moves very quick to the actual drone movements and I never feel out of control of it. The Micro SD card included goes into the remote on the bottom. The top buttons operate the camera and the joysticks control flight. There are a multitude of functions on the remote that make operating this drone so easy. The antenna fold out on top of the remote, and boasts a 4 mile signal range. It does state in the instructions that maintaining line of side between the remote antenna and drone is going to give you the best results and works very well while following that guideline. There is a pre-flight checklist you do need to follow on the remote before you can even take off. The included book guides you step by step in doing that and is essentially just calibrating drone location compared to the remote. Flying and camera operation- Flying this drone is so much fun! It is very responsive, and the picture and video buttons being on top of the remote make it easy to record the footage you need. I've got about 4 hours of total flight time so far and love it so much. I will be looking to invest in a second or third battery. The overall quality of the camera photos and videos is pretty high quality. It is a 4k camera, and there is very little degredation of the pictures and video. Having a 2-Axis gimble doesn't allow for all the perfect shots, but it still performs amazing. My only gripes with this kit, is the case that it comes with has foam cutout that is too tight for the drone to fit. It fits extremely snug and if you push it all the way down in the case it is very difficult to get out and makes me feel like I'm going to break something on it. The camera and gimble cover on the drone is also very snug fitting and the gimble gets jostled around quite a bit when trying to put the cover back on and makes it feel like it could break. Otherwise, I love everything else about this drone. I highly recommend it.

Very good product love it just wish had longer flight time or would be able to buy second battery at store inside of going and get it off line

Not a bad drone. I bought this because I needed something to put in the air while I was dealing with a return on the travel kit (my review of that is by the product) It is a decent drone but a little overpriced for what it is. I would buy a few more if they were cheaper.

Great easy to fly love this this is my first drone and all the kids love it.

Awesome little toy, definitely not for just any kid, I highly recommend

It hard to get it pair up with itself. every time you want to use it, you better plan 10 to 15 mins before you get it in the air.

So this drone is not user friendly. Don’t fly it indoor. It doesn’t show 4k in my opinion!

Things are getting strange in the drone landscape in the past couple of years making the usual big names in the industry a little more muted so to speak giving brands like Contixo a real time to shine here. Thats just what they have done with the new F33 drone. Before I get to anything I do have to say there is quite a lot of setup just to fly and it must be noted thats why I am not giving a 5 stars as you must calibrate the compass and gyro manually before each new flight spot. I will say that it probably is the most safe doing it like this and not having one that auto figures it out for you but it is something to note. Regardless the video quality on it is extremely good with its 2 axis gimbal which I appreciate as some other 4k drones ive used look more washed out and like FHD instead. Though this is capped at 30fps it would be nice to have 60 but what can you do there this is still good enough. It is listed as having a 40 minute flight time though I was not able to test this as conditions since ive had it have been very poor maxing out for me at just 18 mins I did get to about half battery so it seems accurate. It says there is a over 3 mile range but of course with flight rules these days I also was not able to test this as it must stay in line of sight and that would have been too far for me. Controls are a little on the touchy side but it’s nothing you cant get used to. Once you do it flies beautifully and does very well even in poor conditions I was flying in and wind I never felt out of control. Its build quality seems very solid and high quality and I really like that it comes with an SD card and hard case. It’s a fairly complete package and it seems like they really have the right formula here for a successful longterm brand.
