Contixo F23 GPS Drone With Camera, 46 Min Flight Time, 4.5" Screen Remote, Follow Me, Waypoints, 5GHz FPV Transmission, Return to Home, Hand Gestures, Orbit Mode Foldable Drones For Teens & Adults

I've been looking for a good drone that wasn't going to deplete my savings account. This Contixo F23 was the one for me! The very first thing that caught my eye was the built-in 4.5" screen on the remote. I didn't want to deal with having to worry about having my phone fully charged, and also the drone... this allows me to just focus on learning how to fly without the hassle. Plus the screen is really bright, so I dont have to struggle with finding a shaded area or none of that. The live feed is clear and connects instantly, making the setup process much faster than other drones I’ve used. The GPS and optical flow stabilization make this drone incredibly steady in the air. Even as a beginner, I felt confident using the One-Key Takeoff and the Auto-Return Home feature, which works perfectly if the battery gets low. It comes with 2 batteries, which gives me about 40-45 minutes of fly time. Its perfect as want to disconnect and just get some fresh air. I also really appreciated the 16GB memory card it came with, the kit was designed to fly within minutes of arrival which is great. Overall, I think this is the perfect drone for a teen or a hobbyist, this is an excellent value. Highly recommended!

Unstable to take videos and the resolution is really bad. Also, battery don’t last as long as advertised and take long to charge. It is good for beginners but I think it is priced too high for beginners. This is as good as the ones sold less thank $100.

From the box to the skies in minutes! With no previous drone piloting experience, this turned out to be a fun and intuitive experience for us. Setup was a breeze... fully charge the batteries and controller, remove the drone, deploy the collapsible propeller arms, set it on a flat surface, hold down the power button until the drone comes alive with beeps and flashing lights, power up the controller, and wait for the drone to establish a connection with the controller. Press the lift-off button - you'll hear an "all clear" warning and the blades begin rotation; press it again, and the drone leaps into the air! Initially, we started with very subtle, gentle commands to orient ourselves with the control sensitivity... up, down, rotate direction, forward/reverse, and left and right. As new pilots, we did have a few unexpected entanglements with our trees and some plants... however, even with a few tumbles, the sturdy design, as well as the flexible and non-rigid prop connections, did just fine and were not damaged. Our drone was airborne for a good 20 minutes while we worked out our new flying skills without any noticeable dip in available battery power. We managed to record a few minutes of one of our flights and the resolution and color were way beyond our expectations. Next, we want to explore more of the included features... this little drone packs a punch with advanced features and is easy enough for a complete novice to use.

The drone flew 3 times total. The drone worked fine the first two flights. The second flight was in town and had slight winds. The gps worked great. The third and final flight was in open country outside of twin falls Idaho. No wind whatsoever. The drone took off, flew for about 2 minutes. I pushed the return home button. The drone went up, flew backwards and flew out of sight never to return. We spent over 4 hours trying to find the drone doing grid searches over several acres and never found it. The connection on the remote was lost so location availability was not available. The remote, drone and batteries were good quality.

I bought this primarily to view my 40 acres from above. For the price point it has a lot of features. The only negative I’ve experienced is the lag time to see the screen during flight. I’m still learning how to use all the features but I think it will be great for my purposes.

I had to finally send it back. I texted their service center. Never got a reply. I would be flying this thing and it would all of a sudden drop out of the sky. It is very hard to find the app did not work.

New to using drones and we tried a Temu one first so if we lost it or crashed it we wouldn’t be too upset. So far this one has been easy to use. My son likes the follow me and waypoint features, for hikes and other fun outdoor hobbies. It’s lightweight and comes with extra blades and an extra battery which is great. The remote control screen is quite large and we appreciate how easy that makes controlling it. We are happy with the camera quality and images are clear.

So much fun! Great quality camera. Durable. Powerful battery. Easy to maneuver and control (after a bit of practice). 😎 excellent camera and video quality.
