Ruko F11PRO Drones with Camera for Adults 4K UHD Camera, 60 Mins Flight Time with GPS Auto Return Home, Brushless Motor, Black (with Carrying Case)Global Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

Yeah, it’s a great drone. The reviews aren’t fake. It stays put as soon as you let off the joysticks with gps signal acquisition in about 1 minute from the time you turn it on. Upon landing at about 4 feet it slows its descent then a few inches from landing it hovers slowly to smooth landing. There are 2 speeds. 1st is nice and easy, 2nd is super fast. The readout on the remote shows speed and a lot of other information I haven’t dug into yet. The camera is clear and smooth with the ability to yaw up and down. The axis keeps it level well. It climbs to 400ft out of beginner mode. You can barely see it and can’t hear it. I live in the country where it’s quiet. It has 2 metal joysticks that screw in so you have great control. Batteries are long lasting so you have plenty of time to play. I’m extremely happy with it. Hope this helps. Only downside: I haven’t been able to find exact replacement propeller blades even though the manual states you can find them on Amazon.

Highly recommended. The drone itself works well and so does the app. Ruko overall is a good company with responsive customer service.In two days I will have had my drone for 2 years. I have flown it less than 10 times though because I live in restricted airspace. The drone is fun and easy to use but it does take some time to get used to the controls.I have flown the drone to its 400' limit where it was not visible to the naked eye but I was able to bring it back based on the camera feed. This is all around a well-built drone with a well-programmed app. I use it with my S22 ultra cell phone.

The Ruko F11 Pro 2 Drone is a fantastic choice for both beginners and enthusiasts! It has a 4K camera and delivers stunning, crystal-clear videos, and the gimbal ensures smooth, stable shots even in windy conditions. A 30+ minute flight time and easy-to-use controls, it’s perfect for capturing nice aerial views. The GPS features, like return-to-home and follow-me modes, add convenience and peace of mind. Highly recommend this drone.

This drone is fine. It works well with my iPhone, however, I have run into some challenges with getting the system to run with my Android Motorola G phone. Overall the picture quality is good and if one stays within the FAA Part 107 requirements for flight this is a good starter drone. The drone seems durable and the flight time is good. As mentioned above the range is adequate as you are not supposed to fly these drones outside of your eye sight anyway. I found the initial installation to be adequate. However, I am still challenged with getting the drone system to work on my primary "drone" phone, the Android.

Rather than repeat the many very thorough five star reviews, I will just say I agree with them.I had wanted a recreational-use drone for years prior to 2020, but I waited as the quality and technology rapidly improved and prices went down. When the F11 Pro became available for under $300 in 2020 I took the plunge. As the reviews of the F11 said back then, it was (and still is) a great drone with some amazing features for the price. I had never owned or even flown someone else's drone at that point and in reading stories of lost and/or crashed drones over the years I was a little apprehensive at first. I had read so many stories of people spending hundreds of dollars for a drone, taking it out for a flight, it flies away and they never see it again. However, by 2020 drone technology had progressed by leaps and bounds. and the tech contained in the F11 including the Return To Home (RTH) feature makes it almost foolproof. After a quick reading of the instructions and watching a couple of demo videos I took mine out and started flying it right away with zero issues.The closest thing to a problem I've ever had was on one occasion it stopped responding to my commands and began hovering over a fenced-in field just at the far edge of my line of sight. Assuming there was something interfering with my signal, I moved as close as I could to the drone, which was the fence at the edge of the field about 100 yards from where it was hovering, and at that point It responded to my RTH command and did just what it was supposed to do - it flew back to where I had launched it and safely landed itself. I was reassured by that experience. Even though it temporarily lost my signal, it didn't fly away or crash, it executed the RTH function appropriately.In fact, I liked mine so much I bought another one for my son in 2020, and we have sometimes flown them together (the app auto separates the signals).Four year (Aug '24) update: I recently returned from a multi week cross country road trip to visit family. I took the F11 and flew it several times on the trip. The drone itself still performs as new, however the four year old original batteries were starting to get tight going in and out of the compartment (swelling) and not holding a charge nearly as long as they used to. In other words, typical issues with aging rechargeable batteries. I shopped around online and considered ordering one of the non Ruko replacements but ended up spending the few dollars more for the Ruko branded replacement and received it the next day. The new battery works well and the copter is back to full range.While shopping for the new battery here on Amazon I noticed some inexpensive accessories compatible with the F11, such as snap-on rotor blade guards and landing gear skids. It had always bothered me a little that the copter had to land directly on the ground, so I ordered the skids and rotor guards. For the little bit of money they cost it was worth taking a chance on them not fitting well, but both work well with the F11. They snap on and off easily and so far have no problem staying connected in flight, although of course they do have to be popped off prior to stowing the copter in its case.Another issue I encountered on this trip for the first time was the app not holding a connection to the copter at all, or losing only the camera feed. I did some online reading including reviews here on Amazon and discovered the auto connect feature in my phone's wifi menu was activated. I turned that off as is recommended in the comments, and poof, the connection problems went away.

I am impressed with the quality of this Ruko F11PRO 2 drone. I’ve also bought the 65W charger and the Landing Pad, and all are equally high quality. My first flight was inside my own backyard with a 15mph wind. I placed the Landing Pad over my lawn and launched the drone from there. The drone hovered above the pad at about 4’ altitude, managing the wind like a champion. I did a lot of flying around my yard at about 40’ altitude, moving the gimbal up/down, rotating the drone, looping around my property. My iPhone 12 Pro Max ran the Ruko App well, the FOV video was good. Everything went so smoothly, it was pure joy. This drone can do what I need it to do, and a whole lot more because I can take it everywhere and even on difficult missions, because I can afford to replace the drone if I ever crash or lose it. For example, I know I’ll be able to land the drone in my 20’ boat because it hovers so stable. The whole kit fits into its own case, (about the same size as my Steiner binoculars). This drone is the perfect one for me!
