Customer Ratings & Reviews

It work so simply and very easy to operate. The battery lasts for minutes hours and the vision is great. I liked it

Good visual and well balanced. It does have sensitive sensors so make sure no one is around when it lands. It doesn’t do well in rain conditions. It comes with an extra propeller set incase. Battery life is minimal

Good and user friendly, videos are high quality, would recommend

It works OK. It doesn’t go as fast as it says a does in the specs. It says maximum flight time of 31 minutes on the website, but I only get 21 at the most. It also says on Best Buy website that it goes 54 miles an hour. The most I’ve gotten is 32.1 miles an hour. It also says on the website that it has a 6 mile flight distance from the controller. I sometimes am less than a mile away and it starts to lose signal and video. That’s with clear line of site. I don’t think there’s any way I could get close to 6 miles

I have been so impressed with this drone. I never used a drone before and was unsure how difficult it would be to learn, but I has been a breeze. The handling is so easy and the camera is so clear. I highly recommend this drone. Every time I use it a crowd gathers to marvel.

Very beginner friendly flying device. Well worth the price. Brings out the child out in a person. Had no reson to purchase this drone, was drawn to it by the display. Having 3 batteries included in the package was a major deciding factor.

I have the previous p30 drone from snaptain and it was good for the price I feel but I wanted a gimble cam, so I got this, and I loved it. I don't use it for anything other than hobby flying so dollar for dollar it's great.

Great Drone!!! Great baterry!! Great Camera I recommend this drone to people in the construction indistry.

I didn’t expect the camera quality to be as good as it is and with it being a gimbal it is a little touchy but after calibrating it it’s great

This drone is AWESOME!!! I would recommend this to all of my family and friends.

When you look at the drone, you can tell it’s high quality. It doesn’t weigh much, the accessories are incredible, and once it’s in the air, it’s simply amazing.

As a drone hobbyist who enjoys comparing drone features and camera qualities on them, this is my fifth different drone I am giving a shot. Having used mostly DJI drones, when I heard that Snaptain was finally coming out with a 3-axis gimbal 8k camera drone, I was so intrigued and had to see what its capabilities were. Snaptain was generous enough to include a lot of accessories in this kit beyond the basic necessities, I like that they included spare propellers, a screwdriver, and a carrying case for everything. I also noticed Snaptain includes the three different RC cables, with USB-C being the most popular one of course. I really appreciate that this model connects the remote to your phone via a USB cable, rather than relying on unstable wifi connections. Setup, update, and calibration steps for this drone prior to its first flight were pretty simple and easy to follow. I have gone through hours of frustrations with previous drone models and not running into any hiccups with this one was refreshing. A feature Snaptain seems proud of with this model is just how lightweight it is as just 249 grams. Hearing lighting weight I was a bit nervous about how stable this drone would be in average wind conditions, I was so happy to see that it was actually pretty stable while in flight. Camera quality on this 3 axis gimbal is not too bad at all, considering I fly drones mainly for the camera abilities. For a brand not as big as others, I obviously had concerns about what kind of camera quality they could be putting out, especially at this price point but I was pleasantly surprised. I also appreciate the useful quickshot functions such as smart follow, parallel follow, and circle modes, although the accuracy of the modes do not seem there yet. It appears Snaptain has some software work to do on those, but the potential is there. The battery life on this P40 Lite is just okay, I have definitely seen better in other drones of this size, but I have also seen worse, I’d say it falls right in the middle on average. I would highly recommend purchasing a combo kit that includes 2-3 batteries because having just one will be tough. Overall this drone packs a punch for its size and price point, and it is a great entry level drone for someone who is just looking to have fun.

I'm very happy with my purchase! It works great, very suitable for beginners!

This is 4K not 8k make sure you are aware. Has some issues but works good. Still figuring it out see how everything operates.

Husband loves it. Great to start off with and can be adjusted to skill once you've mastered it

Great drone very easy to fly. GPS features and return to home make you feel safe like you’re not gonna lose it.

Absolutely love this. Perfection for my husband for Christmas

Good price, decent photo quality, decent video quality. Easy to learn and use.

Recent policy decisions to ban the import of the market leader in drones has left me in a quandary. I have several drones spanning the range from low end recreational units to high end camera platforms and am now forced to evaluate the offerings from other providers. The bar has been set pretty high and so my expectations are lofty. Snaptain is upping their game and their new Model P40 Lite boasts an impressive list of features at a competitive price and is under 250 grams so I decided to take a look. The unit comes with all you need to get flying quickly. It ships with an attractive, rugged carrying case that houses the drone, controller, and has room for two batteries (only one battery is included in the basic kit) and for the spare parts and documentation. There are also prop guards included in the box but they must be detached to store the drone in the carrying case. Speaking of the batteries, at the time of this review Snaptain was sold out so I highly recommend that you get the Bundle which will provide you with three batteries and an external charger. Otherwise the only way to charge the battery is to install it in the drone as the USB-C charging port is in the body of the drone itself. There is no charging brick provided and Snaptain cautions you about charging voltage and current. A regular cellphone charger may NOT provide enough juice to get the job done and larger chargers (even the ones that switch voltage and current modes) can cause the battery to get extremely hot when charging. I wouldn't leave the unit unattended while charging. The controller did not seem to suffer from this issue. You will also need to buy a microSD card. The unit has no internal storage for video or photos. Also, be aware when installing or removing your card that the spring in the slot is very lively!!! I ended up shooting the card across the room the first time I tried removing it! Once everything is charged up and the app is downloaded and installed you'll find that connecting your phone to the controller is easy and feels secure. Cables are provided for connecting to an iPhone, a microUSB or standard USB-C equipped Android device. The app layout is familiar to those accustomed to the competition's software. One word of caution - be certain to run a calibration on everything before your first flight - gimbal, compass and magnetometer. This is quick and easy to do and assures that you won't experience drifting or a runaway when you take off and try to hover. Also, satellite acquisition takes longer than I'm used to and you definitely want to let that process complete or RTH won't function properly. I found the controls to be responsive and the drone's flying characteristics to be reasonably crisp and fast. The controller's sticks have a solid feel and the controls and buttons are placed where you expect them to be and are labeled in a familiar fashion. The range estimates are wildly optimistic. Keep this thing in sight while flying it. My experience while flying was that the video signal starts glitching out at pretty modest distance and re-acquiring signal can sometimes take a few seconds. I was satisfied with both still photos and video quality. There seems to be a bit of excessive edge enhancement and focus and zoom are digital only. The gimbal does a decent job while you are in the air but I did notice a peculiar thing that happened twice while I was carrying the drone. The gimbal began to whip around erratically and make motor sounds. I was not able to recreate the phenomena on demand but it was alarming. I also tested the built in Smart flight modes - circle, soaring, gradual retreat, drift, time lapse, and smart follow. All functioned but some required multiple attempts to engage and setting the POI was a bit tricky. Overall, it feels like these features need a few firmware iterations to operate smoothly. Which brings me to an extremely important caveat - the P40 Lite has NO obstacle avoidance sensors. Make dead certain that your entire flight path is free of obstructions before you engage these functions! Finally, I was completely unsuccessful at downloading video or pictures via the app. The only thing that seemed to work was ejecting the microSD card and downloading directly from that. In summary, the P40 Lite feels like a solid piece of hardware that needs some serious software polishing. I believe that with a series of firmware updates this little drone has the ability to go head-to-head with the competition at its price point. It's just not quite there yet.

It is an awesome drone, i love it. I think ill buy another one.
