DO NOT use the drone in severe weather conditions, such as a rainy day or windy (wind speed is more than 5.5m/s), snow, hail, lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.. The camera has 110° FOV and can be pitched 40°, although you will have to do this manually before you fly the drone, which is a bit of a let-down, as it would have been far more convenient to do it remotely with the controller.

The camera has a FOV adjustable angle lens up to 110° to 40º which gives you a nice look at your videos. It uses 5G WiFi Transmission, for the high-quality real-time image transmission, you can share the incredible scenery with online. If the current flight altitude is lower than the preset RTH altitude, the drone will first ascend to the preset RTH altitude, then fly horizontally to above Home Point and descend to land. Now, as I stated earlier in this review, my favourite feature of a drone is the camera and the Snaptain SP500 does come with a good HD camera that will allow you to take some cool aerial images and videos. It’s powered by an internal rechargeable 3.7v lithium-ion battery, and you get a cool USB cable to recharge it with, which has some green LED lights that indicate when the batteries are fully charged. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

SNAPTAIN SP500 Review

When the remote disconnects with the drone for more than 4s, and the GPS function is not available, the drone will slowly descend from the current altitude till landing. The SP500 has all basic drone features plus more, as well as good flight, battery and video support but it has a downside which is it’s stabilization since it doesn’t come with any gimbal or EIS.

TapFly – This is another flight mode that I am seeing a lot more of in cheap drones, it allows you to draw a path on the drone app and the drone will follow that route automatically, allowing you to concentrate more on taking quality images and videos. Gyro Calibration Put the drone on a flat surface. Press and hold the CI button on the remote for 3s to start calibrating and you will hear a beep from the The SNAPTAIN SP500 doesn’t come with any stabilization, no gimbal or electronic video stabilization to get clearer pictures. The Snaptain SP500 drone’s size dimension extends to 12.9 x 12.9 x 2.2 inches when expanded forward. In the front of drone is a 1080P HD camera affixed on a gimbal stabilizer. It used combination of gimbal stabilizer and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) to deliver precise footages. Step 1: Hold the drone horizontally and rotate it until the LEDs on the front arms turn red, which indicates a successful horizontal calibration. Step 2: Hold the drone vertically and rotate it until the LEDs on the rear arms turn green, which indicates a successful vertical calibration.Press and hold the ( ) button for 3s to start calibrating. After you hear a beep from the remote and the LEDs on the arms of the drone are off, the drone is preparing for the compass calibration. Camera & 5G Wi-Fi Transmission: Built in advanced 4K HD Camera, the drone captures high-quality video and aerial photos. Upgraded 5G Wi-Fi transmission enables more clear and smooth real-time moments. Note: This function can’t be activated when the battery of drone is low (the Drone Battery Status shows 2 Yellow bars and the LEDs of the drone flash slowly). Headless Mode – This is a flight mode especially good for beginners as the controls are easy and straightforward to understand, and you will not need to know the orientation of the drone.
