The Snaptain P40 Lite is an all around excellent drone for what it costs. It has good build quality, great footage, and pretty good run time. In the box you get the drone, remote with built in battery, 1 drone battery, a storage box and several other extras for those inevitable crashes.
The initial set up was very easy and you can be up and flying in minutes (after you charge the battery of course). Connecting my phone was easy and opens up a whole new set of features. The battery life is OK, but Id recommend an extra battery so you can fly while one is charging.
It flies excellent and is a lot of fun to fly as well. Dont expect super high speeds, but it was plenty fast for me. It also flies very stable as well.
It has a lot of great features from much more expensive drones. Follow me, auto land, etc. I look forward to using it to follow me on some motorcycle footage Id like to get.
Overall for what you pay this is an amazing drone, with lots of high end features, that is a lot of fun to fly. If your new or a novice to drones this is an excellent choice! And due to its size you wont have to worry about the FAA restrictions that seem to get more strict by the day.

Snapped in 60 Seconds, but Still a Good Time

I was really excited to give the Snaptain P40 LITE a try. I planned to test it around my neighborhood and eventually take it out to my farm for some aerial shots of the woods and valley. I haven’t made the farm trip yet, but I did get some solid neighborhood flight time in.
The carry case is well designed, with space for everything and a few extras like tools and replacement parts. After charging it up, I had a tough time getting it to connect to my Android phone. It turned out to be a permissions issue. Once that was fixed, the video feed showed up and I was ready to go.
I pressed the hover button for takeoff, and it lifted to about five feet before rapidly coming back down and snapping the front support strut. That part helps keep it level when sitting on the ground, so it was disappointing to see it break within the first minute. I may be able to glue it back, but still not a great first impression.
Once airborne, it flew well and was easier to control than older toy drones I’ve used. The hover mode is smooth, and the 3-axis gimbal does a good job keeping the camera steady. Just know you will need a microSD card if you want to record video.
The GPS return-to-home function is cool but aggressive. It flew back at me full speed, and I had to jump back as it landed. Fun, but a bit intense.
Overall, the drone is feature-packed and takes decent footage, especially for the price. I’d say it’s worth a look for beginners, but don’t expect top-tier durability.

The Snaptain P40 Lite 3-Axis Gimbal 8K Camera Drone Is a perfect drone for the hobbyist. Straight out of the box, it was very self-explanatory. However, it does not come with charging blocks, so you will need to make sure you have a couple of charging blocks. Once you have found your charging blocks and have them fully charged. Setting it up was a breeze; it took all of a few button pushes and an app to download.
Now, when it comes to flying the drone, that is definitely the fun part. If this is your first drone, follow the training that comes with the app. Once you have completed the training, you’ll be ready to fly around and take some amazing photos and videos.
I can tell you from experience, do not fly this in the house if you have eight-foot ceilings unless you are very sure of your piloting skills. The controls are very smooth and the gimbal movement is not steady as well. Overall, this is a fantastic drone. Now, as for flight time, it could use some improvement and a little more warning. I began flying mine with 50% battery, and the next thing I knew, I was receiving a warning stating it was about to land, and it did within seconds.
However, overall, this is a great drone and I would highly recommend it. It’s my fourth drone to own, and I truly enjoy flying it.
