- Bwine F7MINI 8K Photo 5.5" 1080P RC Screen Drones with Camera for Adults

This has been a really fun drone for me. It sets up easily (unlike a DJI). No problems connecting control to drone and with the GPS it hovers pretty steadily in place. The video quality is OK, not great, but adequate for a beginner recreational drone.

This drone is a great value for the price point. I was interested in having a drone but not interested in spending a thousand dollars for a pro model. So, I ordered what I thought would be a good intro to drones, and clearly made a good decision. This drone is easy to set up and easy to get started. The down side for me, personally, is that it takes a little hand/eye coordination and an adventerous mentality. I have the latter but not so much the former. Regardless of my personal learning curve, it has been so much fun practicing. It's a rugged and smart device and relates well with my iPhone 13 mini smartphone. I'm blown away by the videos and pics that I have taken with this drone, with such high quality. It's exhilarating flying, and even talking about my 'flights' gets my heart racing. So, here's the icing on the cake: I'm flying the thing and I hadn't realize that one of the blades was severed during one of my numerous crashes, which by the way are getting fewer and fewer. The drone was taking a weird path towards trees and a brook and, of course, I panicked and steered the wrong way, even more towards the trees. The drone got caught up in branches, stalled and descended to the ground, right into a shallow brook that runs on my property line. Unfortunately, it landed in about 5 inches of water, which although easily retreivable, ultimately ruined parts of the drone's electronics and killed the battery. I called Bwine's support number and simply wanted to know the most economical way to get back up and running again from my own stupid sequence of events. They asked me to send a video of what damage had been done to the drone. Essentially, only two of the propellers worked after my accident. I sent them a video of the semi-lame drone trying to achieve lift-off, and without further ado, they said they were going to send me a "bare drone" (meaning no peripherals, blades, batteries, bag, etc). What I received was much more than a bare drone and enough parts/accessories to get me up and running again. So, I continue my droning adventures! I absolutely love this "toy". I don't know if I'll elevate to the "pro" model and invest 5 times the cost of this one, and not sure that I would want to. This is a great little little investment that is generating hours of fun. My friends and neighbors are just as enthralled as I am with this little device, and actually think that I'm a good pilot! I swear, if you're thinking about getting into the 'droning life', this is a great jumping off point, because it's a great device and it's a great company to deal with, with awesome customer support. I totally agree with the other positive reports about the Bwine F7 Mini drone.

The Bwine F7MINI 4K is a surprisingly capable small drone — perfect for beginners or anyone who wants something lightweight to travel with. It handles really well and comes packed with useful features you’d expect from larger models. The joysticks are quite sensitive, though, so new pilots will want to take it easy, especially in windy conditions or at night. The camera quality is impressive for its size. Photos come out clear, and the video actually looks sharper than what you get from its bigger brother, the B7. It’s a compact, well-built drone that feels fun and reliable in the air. The package is generous — three batteries, extra props and joysticks, plus a nice carrying case — making it a great value for the price. Overall, it’s a solid, travel-friendly drone that delivers awesome fun without breaking the bank. Winter’s coming here in the Northeast, so flight time will be limited, but once skies clear, this little bird will be flying again. I’ll update on how it performs long-term, but for now — very happy with it.

This is a well put together drone, it has a long flight time, and the ability to change your come home location. I would highly recommend this Bwine drone

So good I got TWO!!! Absolutely love this drone - handles well and hovers effortlessly - the camera quality is superb and the gimbal keeps it nice and steady for aerial photography. The second battery is also a great inclusion as you will drain it quickly with how addicting this thing is! The remote control with large touch screen including full readouts and directional compass is the icing on top! Grab one before it's no longer on sale!

Could not be more unhappy with this drone. Out flying for the second time. Was controlling the drone at about 20 yards away. Started to feel a little uncomfortable so I pressed the return to home button. The drone then went straight up, turned the other direction and zoomed off. I watched helplessly as the drone went farther and father away and refused any other commands. Eventually it disappeared from sight. I used the locate drone feature but unfortunately the thing flew a quarter mile away and into a grove of tall trees. I can only presume the drone was somewhere 100+ feet above my head in a tree. I couldn't see it and it would not respond or make a sound. The thing should beep or something when it's lost. What a piece of junk. If you want to spend money and lose this thing by all means buy it...otherwise I'd say steer way clear! I am also able to use the flight log and prove that it went crazy. The last entry in the log, which was in Chinese (I used Google translate) shows flight mode was in Return mode yet it flew to a distance of 315.9 meters from the takeoff point. Battery level: 12% Motor status: Running Remote control battery level: 4.0V Flight mode: Return Number of satellites: 30; Satellite precision: 68 Geomagnetic interference: 0 GPS positioning: GPS positioned Positioning mode: GPS fixed point Roll angle: -11.6; Pitch angle: -27.2; Yaw angle: 147.82 Joystick data Left-right stick: 0 (neutral); Forward-backward stick: 0 (neutral); Throttle stick: 0 (neutral); Steering stick: 0 (neutral); Height from takeoff point: 46.2m; Distance from takeoff point: 315.9m

I love this product fantastic resolution great range easy-to-use controls for beginners to pros you get a quality drone for not a professional drone price. Ive never had a drone with such great flight time

When activating the drone, it took off and immediately lost communication with the controller. The drone proceeded to keep ascending and moving away from the controller to the point it was lost from sight. The GPS locator for the drone did not work or locate where the drone is. Therefore, the drone is fully lost even though I scouted the area where it was lost from sight. After contact from BWINE they replaced the lost drone and battery. Additionally, they offered one of the newer versions of the mini drone for the difficulty with the first drone. That newer version has yet to arrive. The new drone works well, although I am still trying to figure out how to use the Find Drone function. Otherwise, the drone is easy to operate and the camera provides good resolution. As a beginner drone it is a good start to learn how to use a drone. Also, the customer service is good and they stand by their product. Received the new drone and it was excellent. Very easy to operate and the handheld controller for the F7GIM is much better than the controller for the F7MINI. All in all, the customer service is great. Was also able to quickly troubleshoot an issue with the new drone through the app support feature. With all that has happened, I have no reservations about recommending BWINE products. Well worth the m
