Awesome Drone, even better customer service.

I bought a UFO 4000 for my granddaughter for Christmas and had so much fun watching her with that I got jeaulous and bought me the F200SE Shadow Hex. When I received it I immediately charged both batteries and put new AA batteries into remote then went to test my new drone but it would not work. I tried to consult the manual to determine the issue but it did not clearly explain why I was getting the signals that I was receiving. I sent an e-mail to customer service at around 6:00pm on a Friday advising them of the issue and also told them that I was going to purchase brand new AA batteries from the store and try that just in case. In the half hour that it took me to get the new batteries and have them installed and retest my drone customer service had already replied with what they thought the issue might be if was not the batteries. This was an actual personalized reply that was addressing my statements, it was not a general bulk reply email; I was totally impressed. It turns out that the batteries that I had taken straight out of the package were apparently past their shelf life, the brand new fresh batteries solved the issue and I was the able to begin my pilot training.

The Drone:, Ok, this thing is FAST!!!! I am new to drones, my granddaughters was the first one I had ever seen up close. I let this thing get away from me within the first few seconds, thankfully it clipped a tree branch which brought it down and kept me from losing it. This drone hit the branch about 20'…

A great and capable drone

First off I have to say the F200SE Shadow Hex is a great and capable drone. The orange hexagonal graphic on top of it is a subtle, but nice touch to this slick looking black drone. The controller is nice, has a good display and a good button layout (including the photo/movie button) that makes it intuitive for me to control.

Over all it’s just a pleasure to fly, it has good speed and controls real nice. It also handled gusty winds well at good altitude and distance.

The 1080P camera takes decent pictures and surprising crisp movies for what it is. One more thing I have to mention is that I like the way there’s orange propellers in the front and black in the back, it’s a nice touch and comes in handy for orientation.

I’d recommend this to anyone who’s thinking about it, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, I know I wasn’t.

If you want to be a drone pilot, buy this.

Can handle strong wind because of its GPS feature. Easy to control and it can even survive crashes(my fault). Great product quality and it�s a sure fun drone. For the price, it has many good features.

This Hex drone is smoking hot

The good

- The Hex Drone is flat out beautifully designed, great color combination and I love the props. I like the honeycomb aesthetics on top of the drone. You can tell by its packaging that its a good quality drone

- It comes with extra motors. This is a huge plus. For its proce, its amazing that it comes with 2 extra brushless motors. These type of motors are more powerful and it can handle slight to moderate breeze.

- User friendly manual tells you which button to press or what does what

- This drone is fast and reaction time is decent. It ascends quickly.

- PLUS it comes with spare batteries.

- Battery life is a good for its price, you get between 15-18 minutes for each battery

- Good range

improvements

- no on/off button, to turn the drone on and off you have to insert the battery - on - remove the battery off. Some drones lets you slide the battery in and then press a power button to turn on the drone.

- There's no way to tell what percentage of battery power you have left in the battery you're carrying around since you can't leave it in the drone. There's no power button you can push that'll give you a led indicator of how much power you have left. You literally have to plug the battery back into the drone to see the status indicator. smh

- Battery life is great but can be improved, you get between 15-18 minutes.

In conclusion is it worth it's price?? Sure it is. Worth every buck.
