Holy Stone F181 RC Quadcopter Drone Review

Holy Stone F181 RC Quadcopter Drone ReviewLike other products sold in the U.S. by Holy Stone, the F181C is actually from a company known as DFD. It doesn’t really matter, since Holy Stone is actually bringing in brands from all over and unifying them under one name.

 This makes sense in order to build a brand identity, but it also means that if the model numbers are obviously different, then two Holy Stone drones don’t necessarily have any relation to each other. The F181C is yet another member Holy Stone has brought into the fold. It’s reasonably priced, but is it worth the dough or just a deflated souffle?

You’re Under Arrest, Punk If you’ve seen the reboot of RoboCop then you have to admit that the F181C has more than a little resemblance to the newer, blacker addition to Detroit’s finest. Man, this thing looks military and menacing in its black color scheme. The blue “visor” in the front also has a whiff of Cylon Raider from Battlestar Galactica too.

 What I’m saying is that I like it, and if you don’t like it then we can’t be friends. Gift Wrapped The box contents are more or less usual. Well, until you realize that they’ve provided two 3.7V batteries, each with its own USB charger. This is a great move from the manufacturers, since having at least two batteries is an absolute minimum and everyone will buy an extra anyway. So this scores big brownie points in my book.

 Of course you get the quad itself too, along with protective frames for the rotors, a 2.4 Ghz transmitter, and other essentials like the landing skids. It doesn’t include spare blades, so maybe buy some at the same time or make sure you use those protectors.

 Signal Jamming The F181 is not an FPV drone, so there’s no video screen attached to the transmitter, but there is a neat little LCD screen bolted on there that shows you your trim settings, battery level, and signal strength. It’s genuinely useful. This drone is also one of the many new cheap fliers that have headless mode functionality and a one-button return feature. Just make sure there’s nothing between you and the drone, because it will come in on a straight line.

 A GPS DJI this is not. The F181C can flip in all four directions in the right mode and the radio will reach between 50 to 100 meters – about 160 to 330 feet. I have to say that’s a big range difference, so maybe keep it within the minimum range just to be safe. Performance Management The F181C will fly for between 7 and 8 minutes, according to the makers, and takes a whopping 80 minutes to charge. So it’s a good thing it comes with two batteries and two chargers.

 They recommend that you should give the quad 10 minutes to cool down between flights, which is probably good advice. It doesn’t just have a roll feature, it has a continuous roll feature; but since flipping a quadcopter usually makes you lose significant height I doubt you could do that too many times before having a meeting with Mother Earth.

Good Beginner Snapper There’s little info about the camera. The still resolution is 1280×720 and it takes 30fps video, but that’s the only technical information I could find. Customer reviews on camera quality range from “not that bad” to “really good” though, which is surprisingly positive. It’s probably the best you can get at this price level.

 What’s the Word? People who have bought the F181C like it’s flight abilities. It can handle outdoor conditions well enough and can get quite a bit of height; apart from a slow yaw rate it does pretty well for the price.

 The camera seems to work pretty good as well, but don’t buy this drone for that reason alone. People are pretty positive about Holy Stone’s U.S. customer service; replacements and fixes seemed to be no trouble. It’s clear why this is one of the best-selling quads out there. There are a very small number of build-quality complaints, but given the volume of these things sold, that seems to be in line with normal manufacturing error rates.

Holy Stone has proven to be an easy company to deal with when it comes to after-market sales support. Roll Out! Whether you are a complete beginner or an intermediate flier it seems that the F181C is a good product to own. Simple and durable enough to learn, but providing enough real-world flight time to up your game. It looks great, it flies well, and it won’t break the bank, so I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Notably, the camera uses a 3-axis electronic image stabilization system to avoid the added weight and power consumption of a mechanical gimbal. The system works by cropping a windowed portion of the total image yielded by the camera's 180° fisheye lens, thus counteracting the effects of wind turbulence for stabilized, horizontally level video.

 Plus, you can use the piloting app to electronically adjust the camera angle, even pointing it down 90° with no loss off quality for shots of the ground FreeFlight 3 App-Based Wi-Fi Control Using standard Wi-Fi, the BeBop Drone 2 is controlled by an iOS or Android smartphone or other mobile device and features a range of up to 984' line-of-sight.

You simply need to create an "ad-hoc" connection between the controlling device and the aircraft. No router or other hardware is required, though a separately available range extender (part of the Skycontroller system) allows the BeBop Drone to be operated from up to 1.2 miles away. Antennas are included for 2.4 and 5 GHz, so you can choose the frequency that works best depending on other sources of interference Live FPV Monitoring from Mobile Device The FreeFlight 3 app enables live monitoring of the camera image along with flight telemetry overlay.

 Using the app's touch interface, you can even digitally pan the image across the camera's 180° field of view Dual-Core Flight Computer At the heart of the flight controller is a Linux-based dual-core CPU with quad-core graphics. It features 8GB of flash memory for video and photo storage Compatible with Skycontroller System

The separately available Skycontroller extends the BeBop Drone's Wi-Fi range up to 1.2 miles and features a hardware-based control pad as well as a holder for a tablet. To maximize the first-person flying experience, the Skycontroller allows you can connect third-party FPV glasses, including the Zeiss Cinemizer, Epson Moverio, and Sony Personal Viewer Up to 25 Minutes Flying Time A larger battery from the original BeBop enables flight times of up to 25 minutes, depending on conditions. This new LiPo battery features a capacity of 2700mAh 6" Flexible Propellers Larger propellers from the original BeBop help yield its improved flight performance of 52.5 ft/s horizontal and 19.7 ft/s vertical top speeds.

 The propellers are flexible and will lock in the event of contact for enhanced safety 7-Sensor Stabilization System A total of seven sensors are used to keep the BeBop Drone 2 flying steady. These included a vertical optical flow camera, ultrasound, barometer, accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, and GPS. Together they help the drone keep track of where it is in space, allowing it to compensate for overzealous pilot inputs and counteract wind conditions GPS Navigation System Helps aid the flight stabilization system by providing precise positional data. In addition, automatic return home and landing are possible
