Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Was very excited to used i little loss when is wind

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.

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 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.

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

I purchased one of these and ended up buying batteries that cost me 200 bucks separately, the first unit just to decided out of the blue to hit a building in. Crash took it back to Home Depot. They gave me my money back and it was great to deal with then Best Buy had the same unit for the same price as I purchased at Home Depot and I decided to try it again due to the fact that I had two batteries the unit on the first flight. I was told that you could land without using the auto land. It hit the ground landed on the ground in the motor kept going. There is no auto turn off for this unit. It is very dangerous and not safe. Do not let your kids use it. They should be ashamed to have this on the market.

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.

The drone stopped working in two weeks of buying it. Not have to return it

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.

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

Bought this after my DJI was damaged and unable to purchase the same DJI again, this was the worst choice..the camera was so slow and quality horrible I have a Home Inspection company and was in a bind to get a back up right away. I returned item within a few days and was charged a 100.00 restocking fee which was another bummer … ended up finding another DJI some place else and I’m back in business …. This drone here not sure what you would want to use it for camera quality horrible and slow response with flight.

This drone is awful. The image quality is just so weak. I cannot believe there is no way for them to carry DJI. Some other company needs to step up and make some awesome american drones cause this replacement option is terrible,

The build quality of this drone is nice. It is made of plastic which feels very sturdy. It folds to a very manageable size. While it isn’t super heavy, it is heavy enough to require registration with the FAA which may be a dealbreaker for some. The build quality of the controller is super nice too. Again, it was made of plastic. It has a huge 5 1/2 inch touchscreen which takes up the majority of the face of the controller. In the box i also got extra propellers which is a nice bonus. At the price point it would have been nice to include an extra battery, but at least the one that’s included has a good battery life (claimed time of 42 minutes). Setup of this drone was not simple or intuitive, but it was also not extremely difficult when following the included instructions. Essentially, the entire area around you must be scanned by the drone. To do that, you manually rotate the drone around. Although this is tedious, I believe it supports the laser obstacle avoidance technology which is a fair tradeoff. Speaking of the technology, this thing is packed with flight features. It has automatic flight features like “follow me”, “Orbit”, and “Return to Home”. The controller and the GPS enablement make controlling the drone straightforward and without much struggle. The large touchscreen makes it easier to operate. The camera is a 4k capable, and it has a 2 axis gimbal. The camera is definitely sharp and it seems to have a lot of ability for movement. This is great for getting steady shots. Overall I think this is a good drone with a good camera
