Appearance

Motors

The Wingsland S6 drone is equipped with brushless motors type: 1106 4300KV with shaft blocking protection system motor.

Camera

The drone has a 13MP 4K camera built on a 1 / 3.06-inch CMOS sensor, with a viewing angle of 117 ° and aperture - f / 2.2. Provides shooting in two modes: UHD / FHD at 30/60 frames per second. The 3-axis electronic image stabilization (EIS) is responsible for the stable image.

Power supply

The Wingsland S6 is equipped with two 1400mAh 10.64Wh Li-polymer cells. According to the specification, it provides a maximum flight time of 10 minutes. Battery charging time is about 2 hours.

Management

In terms of management, nothing has changed here, like all famous selfies -drones, Wingsland S6 is controlled by an IOS / Android smartphone / tablet through the application " WINGSLAND Fly

In addition to full control of the drone, the application allows you to edit the received photo and video material (adding subtitles, combining frames, overlaying music), as well as instantly transmit the footage to various resources and messengers.

Autonomous functions and flight modes

  • Auto takeoff and auto landing - the drone takes off and lands in one tap on the corresponding icon on the display of the gadget.
  • Flips - playfully carries out coups. It's simple, one tap = one coup.
  • Auto return to home - automatically returns to the take-off site when the battery charge is low, and in case of signal loss.
  • Point of Interest - the drone automatically flies around the paired mobile device at a specified height and distance.
  • Follow me - after activation, the drone automatically follows the paired mobile device.
  • Photo 360 ° - after activation, the drone will rotate around its axis and at the same time take 12 photos, which will subsequently be assembled into one large panoramic frame.

  2. Standard Mode - the standard mode in which the full potential of the drone is available.
  3. Home Lock Mode - activating this mode, the drone locks to the takeoff point, moving the control stick left or right, the drone will circle around this point...
  4. Course Lock Mode - this mode disables the orientation of the drone in space, the principle of operation is similar to the well-known mode "He adless mode".

Test Drive

In the test showed excellent stability and positioning accuracy, both outdoors using GPS / Glonass, and and indoors using optical and ultrasonic sensors. The control is predictable and accurate. All functions and modes work flawlessly, no comments were found.

The quality of the shooting generally corresponds to the one stated in the manufacturer's specification, there were no special remarks at the time of the test. The disadvantages include the weakly noticeable work of 3-axis electronic image stabilization, if the drone were not so stable in flight, then the entire potential of the camera would be nullified. The flight time also corresponds to the declared 10 minutes, or to be precise from 7-10 minutes, depending on the piloting style.

Accessories

As noted above, the manufacturer offers a number of additional accessories in the form of a payload. Each of them is attached to the top of the drone through a special contact port using an adapter. All accessories have feedback and are controlled from a gadget paired with the drone. The price range of each varies from $ 20-50.
