Contixo F21 1080P UHD Camera Drone – 3D Flips, Brushless Motors, Obstacle Avoidance, Foldable Design, One-Key Start, Altitude Hold, 15-Minute Flight Time – Ideal for Beginners and Kids and Adults

When I received the drone, I was really impressed with its size! When folded, it fits in the palm of my hand. I have had small frame drones before and usually within a few weeks their limited range and reliability became more of a burden. But since my first flight with my Contixo F22 I have been a major fan. Here is my breakdown:Travel case - This was included in my purchase, and made transporting the drone simple. No worries about bending the props or landing feet. It has storage for the drone, remote, 3 batteries and a zipper section for cables and papers. Packed up, it is about the size of a school lunch box.Manual - The instruction booklet was easy to understand and outlined the important details. I kept it packed with the drone and found myself referring back to it several times to make sure I understood how each function worked.Drone - Great size for beginners to experienced users. It is easy to unfold and be ready to fly in just a few movements. Unfold the arms, press the power button, and you are ready! Has micro Sd slot for inflight recording and pictures if you are not using the app to do so. The folding blades are a lifesaver. It recovers well if you happen to run into something or clip a tree limb. I accidentally ran into a radio tower and it bounced off and only fell about 10 feet and recovered on its own. The blades are easy to replace just in case.Control - Compact and foldable as well. Unfolds to a comfortable size and has a spring-loaded mount to hold your phone when using the app. Buttons are marked and easy to understand. Camera controls allow you to tilt the camera straight down or straight ahead, or anywhere in-between.App - Many features, you can access the auto features from the flight screen. Also has a flight log which will record your flight height and distance. I enjoyed being able to see how high I was actually flying. Also available are the pictures and videos that you record during flight through the app. My favorite was the GPS flight screen, which allows you to see your current area via a satellite picture. It draws a circle on that screen showing you the available flight area to which you can assign waypoints and send the drone on an "unmanned flight". You can adjust the size of the circle in the settings. Ie: you can limit how high and how far the drone is allowed to go. This feature was great when I was learning how to use the GPS flight feature.Flight time - This varied depending on current wind conditions and use. On a calm day, I could get 15 minutes or so, on an EXTREMELY windy day, I only got about 8. (That being said, the little drone did a really good job in trying to stay stationary, but I would suggest not flying in really windy conditions. You risk having a gust push it into a tree, etc.)Camera - I attached a few pictures from the unit. While the F20 has a better camera, this one isn't bad at all. I suggest slow and steady movements for video recording and calm winds for picture taking.Overall I have been extremely satisfied with my purchase and would suggest it to others. I went ahead and purchased 2 extra batteries for my unit and I try to fly it daily. Their customer support department has been great as well. Answered my emails within 24 hours, an extreme plus!Extremely satisfied with my purchase.

The media could not be loaded. Firstly, I have several drones of varying prices and quality levels. I have a cars and comedy channel on Youtube (Rated R Cars) and I got some drones to make cool footage on my channel. I also go hiking a lot and I wanted a compact drone I could use to take nice video of me and my family in cool places.I also own the Contixo F20, which I rated at five stars for excellent features and most importantly, excellent video quality (and the ESSENTIAL feature of being able to remotely tilt the camera up and down).I wouldn't buy a drone without it and I don't understand why so many drones don't have it. The F22, a super compact drone, also has this feature.The Contixo F22 is perfect for taking along hiking or other interesting places where you suddenly may want to whip the drone out and take some footage. This drone fits in the palm of my hand and then unfolds EFFORTLESSLY and is immediately ready to fly. Unfold wings, click in battery, and go.It has all the GPS features (Waypoint, follow, return home, etc.) of bigger drones, but in a small package.I plan on putting the nice compact case that comes with the F22 into my backpack (or just carrying it in my hand since it's lightweight) and taking it with me hiking, boating, driving, motorcycling, etc.I also keep the F20 in my car as well (and take that hiking too). There are benefits of having both drones. The F20 has excellent video quality. The F22 is super portable (with good video quality despite it's small size - but the F20 has superior video quality).So buy the F20 if you want to make awesome video. Buy the F22 if you want standard quality video (for a low cost drone). Or buy BOTH like me if you have changing needs. :)Both are highly recommended and I have videos of both on my Youtube channel (search for Rated R Cars on Youtube and it comes right up).
