I actually got scammed, came across your video while searching for videos to guide me

Thanks for the video. I know it's cheap but the sellers should not lie about it's features. Customers will pay more for extra features. All this does is customers will lose faith in Ali express

How bro thank for teaching me cuz I was going to buy it but u really saved my life I fell bad for u😢

Thank you, I was thinking buying one.

Thanks, you convinced me into buying this product.

Seriously don't buy it, it stopped working after 2 weeks I kept using it. The transmission got worse and worse and eventually it crashed and broke. Don't waste your money unless you just want to fly it around the house like a toy chopper

How did expect a 5 km range when you spent less than $100 ? Any dronw less than $100 is a toy.

These type of review videos are very useful to prevent people falling for scams/traps! Thank you to the uploader.

i like how the actual camera recorded footage looks like old VHS tapes :D very retro hehehe

Tanks bro I almost bay that s drone do you now the v168?

How are things?! Love it~well !

Wish I'd seen this before I bought it !

Honestly mate, what do you expect for 23 Euro's - a battle ready drone to be sent over to Ukraine for the war effort!!! It is a toy and should be treated as such

Lol I think the attitude regarding drones in Europe is slightly different from North America. I hear real drones in Europe are quite a bit more expensive than they are here. Still, I am new to the hobby so I didn't know what to expect, but normally you can dispute something like this if it arrives as not as described. In this situation AliExpress solidly sided with the seller and didn't refund me. Hope that proves your point 😂

It annoys me seeing people who normalise scams “what did you expect for $X”. I expect getting what was listed mate. Not everyones an expert on the things they purchase or knows the market value of the parts, to gouge the feasability of the list price to spot a scam. Not to mention same shit is sold in the west with a 500% markups since actual parts tend to be dirt cheap.

​@@SLPSRockschinese websites are really bad and infamous with regard to bait and switch. You should know that about these websites before purchasing anything. For example, it's common to advertise expensive item like a whole sewer camera for $80 and when you click on the item, you actually are only buying a small replacement part for that price. You can easily get tricked. Same goes for drones - with these cheap drones, you never get what's advertised and you have to be cognizant of that. I bought multiple of these cheap drones and knew what I was getting, so I am pretty satisfied with my purchase, which I intend to use mainly for hacking and spare parts for my better drones (Eachine E58/E520S) and letting my daughter destroy it while having fun.

Thanks for sharing. I plan to buy but now i change my idea. Which drone do you recommend all?

@SLPSRocks

3 ай бұрын

Honestly, I have tried several drones now and all the drones under 300$ are sort of garbage, way too stressful to fly and their video is ugly. For hobby flying, I would recommend you get a drone with at least a 1KM-3km transmission range, 2.7-4k resolution and with a Gimbal ideally. Always buy a drone that can capture footage on a microSD, never buy a drone if it doesn't have a SD card. Holystone HS720R is a neat one I test flown recently with super smooth footage, I think the Holystone drones dominate the international market and are cheaper than the competition, but they too have quality control problems and are known to have battery charging issues from time to time. luckily their customer service is decent. If you must get a sub250 drone for legal regulations in your area, get a potensic atom or a DJI drone. They cost more but honestly in the long run you will thank yourself when you fly the drone and return it in once piece without crashing it into someone's property. If you asked me what I would do, I would save up for a sub250 drone because the laws here are a son of a beech.

I got one of these drones and it is so useless the sellers are full of lie nothing good about the drone even if your kids want to use it as toy

Wow that takes me back. I bought a cheap drone like that it was called an e58. It was junk but 4 years later I'm still into drones😅😅 it started an addiction

Actually, Eachine E58 is pretty good cheap drone. Pretty decent 120 deg wide angle camera and DVR to boot. None of the cheap drones these days have that kind of feature. I play with my Eachine E58 and also other super cheap drones, but E58 really stands out in picture quality. Too bad it's out of production and impossible to buy one new now.

Hi friend! Do you know the FCC ID of this drone?

Mine is just clearly out of control. I have done everything but it's just out of control

" your incredible 8k video"😅😅😅

Yes these cheap drones are pretty bad. But on the other hand, if you now what you are getting and only pay rock bottom price for them ($10 USD or less including tax/shipping), it's not a bad toy to play with and tinker.

Bought mine e from the ebay for $15 and i love it

Yes I got mine for $10 (including tax/shipping). As long as you ignore all the lies in advertising, it's pretty nice toy. And even if you lose it or break it it's not a big deal.

well, im with you buddy, but to be honest, you can't be scammed by paying 35-40€ for a drone :)

How much does this thing weigh? Is it

@SLPSRocks

4 ай бұрын

The weight is 138 grams. Probably a dead giveaway in retrospect, but any real drone would use up the full 249 grams as it's quite challenging (and expensive) to get it all under 250.

If they were honest about what it could do, I wouldn't have any problem. The issue is they are a drop shipping service and they scam thousands of people. Even if they scammed for only 5 dollars. If they sold to 300 people thats 1500$ they stole.

Not at all the case. My dispute video was rejected by AE. Made several attempts to explain the situation, they sided completely with the seller and didn't even give a partial refund. I found this particularly strange, they closed the dispute very quickly. It made me quite angry, but I honestly upload videos here to help folks. This video was probably the undoing of the drone scam operation of that seller and others on AE lol, I have seen fewer fake toy drones listed on there and its only been three months.

For that money…its great toy…and its working…fly..vauuuu…😊😊😊😂

It was 50 CAD or 36 USD... Also, they used to say the same about TVs and Laptops from 1990-2010, Today the reality is that a big screen TV costs half to a fifth of what it used to cost. So don't give me that crap about what did you expect. Lots of people get scammed. I wasn't expecting all the features to be there but at least one or two... but none of them? Are you kidding. It was just a long list of lies on that listing. I never saw that level of scam before from AE. Not the only fake drone ad thats out there currently. It was time to alert the people.

Yes these cheap drones are meant a s toy. But I use my Eachine e58 as a tool more than a toy. Since E58 has nice 120 deg wide angle camera and DVR as well, I can use it to fly over my house and take video to check condition of gutters, roof etc.

You can fly the drone without a phone silly. What do you expect for $12 ?

Xiaomi V88 habe ich bestellt bin gespnnt ich denke alles was von Ali express kommt ist 💩.
