Product Information

After a brief bit of calibration and connecting to the drone for your live feed and settings, the auto-take-off gets you flying quickly and able to learn the controls within a safe radius. Jumping from this 9 m/s speed to the sport mode’s 12 m/s there’s not a huge difference but it is noticeable. It’s still useful for looking more closely at a feature in a landscape whilst you’re flying but it does get pretty blurry quickly. By the time I’d landed the drone I’d had around 26 minutes of total flight time – a little under the quoted 28 minutes.

Under Track there’s a record of your flights and a useful Find drone which will show your drone’s last GPS flight position if you manage to lose your drone. By default the gimbal looks straight ahead but you can adjust it to point almost directly downwards – around 80°. The instruction manual and helpful video guides will very quickly get you started and it’s incredibly easy to fly. If you tap the bell icon when you subscribe you’ll get a notification as soon as I release a video, and there’ll be a link to my site here for the written article. It clearly connects and tells me when the drone is ready to fly, even tracks the drone gps on the map.Once it started to get choppy, the drone was turning itself around, so there wasn’t any issue with responsiveness. Both batteries arrived with around 50% charge, so you’ll need to charge them completely before your first flight.

To be transparent, I didn't expect the Ruko F11 GIM2 to be able to capture stunning videos and photos. In hindsight, I could've been farther away from any obstruction, but considering I was out in the open, I thought the GPS would be able to hover the drone steadily. If you’re worried about the drone losing you, you can also set it to track the GPS signal from your phone.None of these drones have obstacle avoidance – you’ll have to step up to something like the more expensive DJI Mini 3 or DJI Air 2s for that. It’s been a minute, so I wanted to check in on what exactly this column is and what its place is on the site.

The drone’s brushless motors help it achieve its respectable battery life and although it’s still quite noisy if you’re near to it I’ve heard far louder drones. This only applies to the UK – I’m not familiar with the rules in other countries so you’ll need to check.It makes sense, then, that as a starter drone, the Ruko takes that right out of your hands with built-in safety features. If they don’t you can pull the left and right joystick downwards and to the left as before this time to shut off the motors.
