This drone review video is an accurate assessment of the Black Falcon 4K drone. In searching for a drone to use on my farm, there appears Black Falcon's review were overwhelmingly positive. However, my use experience and drone performance differed greatly with those reviews. I would not recommend this drone under any circumstance.

This review is 100% accurate! I just spent $200 for two of these based on reviews. What a fk head I am for believing that a $100 drone (less from Walmart) could be a DJI. I wish this review was at the top of the search. Thanks for the honest review.

Finally an accurate, honest, informative review. You are absolutely correct about the battery life. One of the three seems to last longer than the other two but the best is 3 minutes. Stable in wind? Nope. Held the joy stick the whole time trying to get it to fly back after a light wind swept it away. It reports to have a follow feature. Nope. It reports to have a state of the art 4K camera. Nope. After 5 flights, one of the props stopped working making take off useless. After several e-mails the customer service people said they would honor their warranty and said they were sending me a new one. Will let you know if I receive it.

All mine are the same if not just a bit more expensive than your black falcon. I was going to buy a black falcon until I saw your video so thank you for the review, yes please return it as you mentioned.

I too wish I had seen this review before purchasing one. I got mine today.....removed it from the package, which fit in the mailbox, BTW...and when I opened it, my first impression was it was nothing more than a toy. A cheap toy. I called the customer support line and talked to someone I could barely understand. He said I'd need to pay for return shipping plus a 15 percent restocking fee. After expressing my disappointment, he offered a 75 percent discount! I figured at least I'd have something and didn't have to mess around with a return, so I kept it. So, I now have a $25 toy.....charging the batteries now. Never had a drone before and I was hopiing this would be a good beginner unit. Lesson learned. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience.

Look into the Potensic Atom or Potensic Atom SE. I have the Potensic Atom SE. Great entry level drone takes good pictures films in 4k30fps, 2.7k30fps, 1080p60fps, has some good intelligent flight features. I get roughly 25-30 mins of battery depending on wind and temperature. It's a solid beginner Drone. Besides that, DJI is the best photography drone in town. You get what you pay for in that regards. I have my eyes set on the DJI mini 4 pro after I get more comfortable flying.

I purchased 1 and had the same experience and then one motor quit on the third flight. I called customer service and they sent me another drone no charge and that one also had a motor quit working on the third flight. If you plan on flying your drone more than fifteen minutes do not wast your money on a Black Falcon Drone. They are not worth the time it takes to get them out of the box.

Yes, I fully agree, the drone has poor mechanical quality, the drone runs mostly not 5 minutes on every battery and the image quality is a joke. It is barley a kids toy. And does not run stable in a slight wind. I try to return it as well and will also write an honest review on my channel.
