There’s a safety guide, quick start guide and a thorough 40 page complete user manual all in English. But in all my test flights I never lost communication between the controller and drone, and the live video feed to my phone worked very well. The controller also lets you change between GPS and Altitude Modes (I didn’t turn off the GPS for fear I’d never see the drone again), snap pictures, control the digital zoom, and adjust the angle of the gimbal, in addition to other functions. But if you’re looking for something neat that you might like to learn a little more about yourself, this may be just the place for you. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Ruko includes the second battery in the package (which I’m sure helps account for its additional cost) because it’s the kind of accessory you’re more likely to want than not.

It would be good if you could choose where the camera was directed while the drone flies between waypoints and I’d prefer to have the option to draw the route for a smoother flight, but the feature worked very well. The stabilization and video quality were perfect for hobbyist content creation and the extended flight range really made using it much more fun.But I think most users would be pretty happy with the image quality overall, as you can hopefully see from the sample videos. axis design (2-axis mechanical gimbal plus EIS anti-shake) and supposed 4K max resolution, footage from the F11 GIM2 should look okay, yet I expected a similar experience to the Potensic Atom SE, which also has a 4K camera but looks only so so. g. Garage Gym Reviews) and judged many awards, such as the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance's ESSNawards. Flight Time and Range: Consider the drone's flight time to ensure it meets your needs, and the range for greater exploration capabilities. As I mentioned in earlier, the stabilization is excellent, but somewhat expectedly, the quality of the video isn’t going to stack up to more expensive drones.

One of the most notable features of the F11 GIM2 is its 4K camera with a two-axis gimbal and Electric Image Stabilization (EIS) technology.If something unforeseen happens and it does drop from the sky, the app also keeps a log of the last recorded GPS location so you can retrieve it. Waypoint mode allows you to tap to set more than a dozen points on a GPS map, creating a custom route for the drone to follow.

I'll start this section with a bit of a confession: My first attempt at trying to fly the Ruko F11 GIM2 ended up with the drone flying into the sea wall situated not too far from me. I didn’t try it in a wind storm but even with moderate gusts, it was able to compensate well and stay airborne.These UAVs are also self-unique, with determinants like flying altitude, speed, and durability in air defining them. Inside this case you get the drone itself with a battery already installed, the controller, a spare battery, two USB-A to USB-C charging cables, one set of spare blades with spares screws to attach them and the user guides. After a couple of weeks of testing, I have some good news and some bad news, but overall, I'm not unhappy with the Ruko F11 GIM2. You get the usual folding antennas, but the bottom of the controller folds out, too, to improve ergonomics.
