A Drone is a handy marketing tool that
many people overlook for their business. If you build pools, are a
contractor or a real estate agent a drone with a high powered video
camera can offer great aerial footage to your potential clients. In
this video I showcase the Contixo F17 Plus drone.
The Contixo F17 Plus drone is a very
stable and easy to control and at the same time it is super powerful.
On starting out I suggest adjusting the speed control down so that
the drone is easy to control. This drone is really fast and
maneuverable and does take getting used to. Also the blades will get
chipped and nicked after multiple crashes while learning so the 4
spare blades come in handy. I also ordered another extra set as I am
teaching my son how to fly the drone and crashes are inevitable.
I mentioned this drone would be great
for aerial footage and as you can see from the video once you
position it in a spot you can hold the throttle and get it to hover
for some great video footage. There is no dedicated hover button but
after a little practice you can get it to stay in one spot with
little issue. The controls are very sensitive so you can also fine
tune the trim in the throttle as well as the directional joystick.
Droning is a really fun hobby and
sometimes the flights with the F17 are just thrilling. It goes so
high so fast that you need to be careful, I can see how you can lose
this drone if you are not careful. The four motors produce great
power and lift and it has a maximum flying altitude of 500 ft
(although the FAA restricts drone altitude to 400 ft).
The F17 Plus comes with one battery, it
is a 2100 mAh battery and I got about 15 minutes of serious flight
time out of it. The controller will beep when the battery gets low
and will prevent you from taking off. I just purchased two 3000 mAh
batteries to give it a much longer flight time. The battery does take
some time to charge, about 3-4 hours depending if it is completely
depleted. So extra batteries are a must.
The included 4K camera that comes with
the F17 plus is exceptionally good. It comes with the camera mount
and charger but no waterproof case or other mounts so it is strictly
for use on the drone. It is a bit thinner than my other 4K sport type
Gopro clone cameras and fits very nicely in the included mount. The
only odd thing is that it mounts upside down and you can't reverse
the mount without blocking the record button. No a big deal really. I
just drop them into my editing software and flip over the image. You
could mount it right side up, but you will have to hit the record
button first. The resolution from the camera is just awesome as you
can see from the clips in the video.
If you have been thinking about getting
a drone for business or just to fly for fun, the Contixo F17 Plus
would be a solid choice. It comes loaded with features including a
great carrying/ storage case, extra blades, a 4K camera and more.
