Pluses

  • Workmanship
  • Phantom design
  • GPS positioning
  • S / C motors / Controllability
  • FHD camera in 2-axis mechanical gimbal
  • FPV (in practice, confident distance up to 400 meters)
  • Flight time (in practice 12-15 min) / Battery charge indication
  • Hold position
  • Auto takeoff / landing
  • Price

Cons

  • Operation of automatic flight and shooting modes
  • V mob. the application does not display the terrain map (even after forced loading)
  • A slight jelly in the frame is noticeable (it is treated by balancing the props)
  • Fixed camera tilt angles

Today this is the best that the budget segment of the UAV can offer for an initial acquaintance with the hobby. The potential of the XK X1 will be most appreciated by those users who have already mastered the primary skills of piloting brushed UAVs and are looking for something more interesting on brushless motors, with GPS, with working FPV, and with an indicative quality of shooting (in the UAV niche). From which it follows that the Wltoys XK X1 can be viewed by the user as nothing more than a simulator to hone their skills before switching to more technologically advanced and expensive drones. Age limit 14.
