Awesome review. I'm getting ready to buy soon. Your reviews always cut my research time in half. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Cap'n - you're getting rather good at manual low level drone flying - maybe there's a KZfaq video tutorial in there somewhere about how to master that skill? (Transmitter sticks input shot vs drone reaction flying shot - in split screen?) In any case, another great review of a cool, if not slightly larger drone - enjoyed watching. You always comes across as having fun on the reviews, with a little humour - hey, that's what the hobby's all about Cap'n - 10/10! 😍😍👍👍

Really appreciate the video review. I have never flown a drone before, so I wanted one that was simple to use and also had some nice features problem was I did not have any idea what drone to choose . So before I made the commitment to buy a drone, my son suggested I watched some of your video reviews on different drones. really helpful and informative and simple to watch and understand Thanks ! I decided to buy the JJRC X 11 from geek buyers it arrived 2 days ago and I have had it in the air twice first following your instructions as a guide to take off and land and the return to home , point of interest etc Today I took it out for a 20 minute flight down along the lake shore and took some nice pictures and a short video as well .. Next thing is to learn how to use the "way points" feature. Cheers from Down Under..

Hi Cap, I really liked the fact that you were reviewing on a breezy day ! Living near the coast in Europe I get quite a few days like that. I imagine that the weight of the drone combined with the strong motors keep it steady in the breeze; decided to get this as my first drone :-) Thanks again for the thorough and very informative review. Kind regards, Paul

Thank you for this review 👍 Finally I get to see something like a range test. 500 meters is already a good distance! Have a great weekend!

CAPTAIN DRONE, First, let me thank you for all the time that you spend reviewing these drones. I know that you enjoy doing what you do, but still, without you I'd still be a non-drone owner. I have watched reviews on drones from others, and they just don't seem to be at the level that your reviews are. Simply put, yours are straight forward, and you answer most of the questions a non drone owner would have. The first video I watched of yours was "The best low cost drones for beginners" part 1, then part two. Based on those two videos, I watched your full review on each one, and based on your videos and reviews, I made my choice. It was the JJRC X11. The drone was just delivered to me yesterday, and I already love it so far. Yes, I crashed it twice, due to how sensitive the controls are, and the fact that if the drone is facing me, the controls are reversed. LOL This may sound silly to you, but to me, it's something I'll have to get use to. The first time I saw that it was going to crash, I freaked and tried to grab it before it ran into the counter, Bad mistake. LOL So now I have battle wounds on my right hand. Lesson learned. Inside was probably not the best place to fly my first drone, but all in all, it went well. Looking forward to taking it outside to where I have room to makes a few mistakes while I learn to fly it. I do have one question though, and I hope you can answer it, or if anyone else can answer it that would be great. The controller, when I turn it on, and while it's talking to the drone, there is a symbol that flashes in the upper left hand corner of the screen, almost looks like a snowflake. What does that mean? The manual does not cover that symbol at all. It only flashes a few times, then goes away. At first I thought it was because it was snowing outside. LOL Any thougts? Furthermore, can you fly this thing if it's lightly snowing or raining? I know I've seen you reviews when there was snow or rain around. Thanks for everything. When it comes time to upgrade to a better drone, (once I'm ready), I will look to your reviews for my next purchase. You are simply AWESOME! Thanks again!

I would love to see JJRC and MJX break into the low cost 4K market place, give the X8 and Zino a run for the money. Oh yeah another top shelf review.

Once again great video thanks. We love watching how you dramatically explain things ! We are looking at some other drones and would like your advise on the JJRC X21 . You are the wind.

Great video. I'm new to flying drones, so wanted one that I can learn with. Watched this and the Bugs 4W video, decided to buy this drone. Wasn't disappointed. Really easy to fly, very responsive, and does a lot for the money. Learned a lot about the drone from your videos before the X11 arrived. So, bought it on your recommendation, thank you!

I wonder who the original manufacturer is? I do love your reviews, very professional, your voice is easily understandable (no wind noise), and just the way a review should be.

Thank you so much. You are like a child's blanket. Thank you for your in-depth and honest opinions. I'm subscribing

Thanks for another great video Capt!! This is the drone I’m saving money for!!

All I watch is your channel, i started from syma x5, now I have beast, soon il be ready for DJI , cost is something I had to do, so I trained on toys for long time no sensors, now it's time for something serious for next year.... Keep on its one of best things on world now...

I like this Drone. After watching a lot of reviews I took a WAG and ordered the JJRC X11. I'm glad I did. I've flown it twice at -4.5C at 1.6km altitude (Montana) and It handled the cold better than I. Just getting the feel of it, I haven't used any special features yet. It feels like a weapons grade drone. It has the mass and the power to be stable and fast. Videos give a sense of flying and are stable in slow speed or hover shots. Props in shots straight ahead go away when camera tilted down might be a drawback for some. Hoping to do some ski area videos in a week or so . This is my fourth model drone and real flyer for the price.

Great review as always mate..Such a cool looking and great flying drone, it’s just such a huge shame and disappointment they they never put a better 1080p camera and lens on it, rather then just sticking a poor 20fps so called 2k camera on there lol.. still a great drone for people who think more about just flying rather then flying to try and get good video footage..

Captain drone....I brought this as my first drone; after watching this review....all I can say is thank you for your info; yes it’s lacking in certain things/elements; but for a first time flyer it’s super cool!i feel like I’ve put the key in the lock and it’s opened into a super cool world! Again thank you for being honest!!! I’m currently saving up for a Mavic air 2!!! Thank you again for being brutally honest!!

This is a awesome drone . Looks premium

Thanks. Nice review. To the point and not too long, which I really like. I dislike the reviews that go on forever and give out less info than you have done here. I ordered one yesterday and got it for $37.00 less than the cheapest price I could find for the Bugs 4W.

Hi capt. What phone are you using? Seems you have a very good wifi signal. Some reviewers only getting like 200 meters fpv.

Thanks for your reviews on this and the bugs 4w. I settled on the bugs version, and I wouldn't have even known about it, if it wasn't for your channel. I'm excited to start flying drones. Now to find a place to get spare parts for the b4w..

I just ordered this one! Can't wait! My first drone.

Great review. I had an Eachine E511S drone that was fun to fly. It had very similar features to this one and I decided to go ahead and get one of these instead just for the fact that it looks a little more professional looking than the E511S. Thanks for sharing.

QC must be all over the place with these budget drones. This model in particular receives 1,2,3 and 4 stars depending on the review. Good review Cap't.

i'm just gonna wait a version of this with electronic image stabilization

I got my wife a jjrc x11 she loves it. We were out flying and I think she bumped the GPS switch and took it out of GPS mode. She couldn't stop it from flying away and it ended up in a tree about 40 feet up. Got it down but it hit what seemed like every branch on the way down. No real damage changed props it still flies but wonders around basically is there any way to send it to get looked at or fixed? Got her mini 2 and she loves it. If you can help thanks and keep up the great work 👍

Thanks Capt . for a great review , I'm new to drones and this x11 will be my 2nd drone to my collection. You reviewed the Holy Stone hs700d and I bought it also..still learning ..love your videos

Thanks for reviewing this one. Obviously, as suspected it is just a re-cased Bugs 4W, with all the issues that one has regarding the image stabilization. It's too bad too because this otherwise is a really nice drone. Great range, great flight time, quality build design, etc. They just totally "dropped the ball" when it came to the camera. I get that they have to cut corners someplace to keep the costs down, but really, ALL photo-oriented drones should have image stabilization of some kind. If not physical, then electronic. Perhaps a future update can give us this by reducing the recording size to 1080 FHD and using the extra resolution of the 2k camera to keep the image stable. not sure that's possible, but if it is it would be a smart improvement. For myself, I think I'm going to have to look at something a bit pricier like the Hubsan Zino for my needs. I'm just not willing to give up that image stabilization.

Hello, i'm a new subscriber. You make really good videos. I've got some questions and it would be really nice if you could answer them. What drone do you recomend with a very good camera (image and stabilisation) under 200€? And can the drone record in another resolution other tha 2k 20fps? I mean can it record to 1080p 60fps or 30fps? Thankss

Hello, Thanks for the reviews. If you would have to choose between this X11 and X13 that i have also seen the review, what are you going to choose? The camera seems to be better on X13 from what i could observer (FPS / overall quality). Thank you! Silviu

Thank you for this review, just bought this as my first filming drone! :)

Bought this to be the work horse of my growing Drone Fleet. No frills by today's standards but seems reliable.

Finally, got my X11 today. I had to wait for 6 weeks ! Apparently, I picked the slowest vendor in China 😢 But now the fun can start 👍

Which one is better: jjrc x11 or jjrc x8? Please respond

OK Captain Drone, as a hiker/backpacker size, weight mean the most to me. I've watched your review of the jjrc x9 heron and it looks pretty good. Do you still recommend this for a beginner?

Lovely drone, but again I totally agree with others, until they make the camera with electronic stability it's still not that great. Which is a shame as the build quality and such is excellent. Great review as always capt

Good evening! I recently purchased a JJR/C X-11 and flew it a few times without issue. Tonight I was home on my farm and took off from my deck. At about a 1/4 mile out I began my turn to come back to the house. It lost video and connection and proceeded to go off in some direction never to be seen again. I’m new to the sport, so not sure if I did something wrong but sure didn’t expect to loose video feed and connection just short of 400 meters. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best drone review love this thing

Amazing props we can stare at. I wonder how they design a drone? Reminds me of an old Disney movie about aviation history where the propeller got in the way of the machine gun.

I love my Bugs 4w. I guess this is the same. Great video!

Nice video. I noticed this drone is hard to find to purchase. Really haven’t seen anything on Amazon and prices when I do find them very all over the place. Do you know if this is still in production?

I'm in the early crew! Woooo, I subbed lol

Another excellent review!!!!

Awesome video,,, now I will buy my first drone.... Ty ty

"We made a little bit of salad" --Captain Drone

Very good review, you covered all the bases. I have a Potensic D88, it looks idéntical , I dont know who copied who, but I am going to return it and buy this one instead, the potensic does not have range, at 210 metters it lost signal and I got no camera view, I hit the return home and didnt respond so I crashed it. I will buy this one for sure. Thanks for video!!!

I ordered this a few days ago from Geekbuying. Hope to get it soon.

good quality drone?is the remote of jjrc x11 is battery useable or rechargeable?

Hi, nice video! Substantial pro and cons between jjrc X11 and sjrc F11 pro?

I finally got my x11! Pretty excited to take it out, I charged the batteries, put new batteries in the remote, followed the manual, but i couldn't get the drone and remote to connect to each other, took several attempts before i had a connection and any satellite info, i had as many as 14 and as few as 7, i installed the jjrc x app, and there i can not get the drone to connect to the app, i actually get the camera view on my phone screen, but none of the functions work. I keep getting a message about root access?? If I bypass that, again, the phone screen shows what the camera sees, but no other functions will work. I tried auto take off, that works, drone goes up about 5 feet and tries to hover, but when I try to land using the same button I pushed to take off the drone will go off on its own without landing. I have crashed it 5 times in 5 flights, if you can call auto take off and auto land a flight! Any ideas or suggestions on what i may be doing wrong. I will say the drone is tough considering what its hit so far!! I do need to install the new propellers that came with it, but I wanted to make sure I can control it correctly before I do that. Thanks for the videos, they are helpful.

Another great review.

Hi Captain - love your videos mate: sharp, informative and thorough! I am tossing up between what look like two very similar drones and wanted your expert opinion on what you would choose between: JJRC X11 (Bugs 4) or the SJRC F11 PRO? Alternatively, would you recommend another drone in this category and price range (+/-) with better features: camera, range, etc that I could look at? Thanks in advance and again great videos 👍🏻

Would you do a comparison with this drone and the bugs 4w. Love watching your Drone videos...

Nice review. I noticed on your range test you were flying in mode 1. Can you switch the controller to mode 2 as a flight control preference? Many thx👍

Love your videos! Thank you very much! I need your professional expertise. I have a Promark P70VR. The lights are flashing fast. I have tried to reset and re-bind it, replaced batteries on both the remote and drone but to no avail. What else can I do? HELP!

You need to open the map and let it load the map date up, then while the app is still open, you connect to the drone wifi. The map will now work like you expect.

A little unrelated, but on Bugs 4 website they are advertising 4K now on the 4W. Did they upgrade the camera? Maybe I read it wrong. Love your videos.

Looks just like the holy stone 720 to me. Wonder if it uses the same battery

Hey, I actually just picked this up a couple of weeks ago after checking out your video on it, It's a great drone and i'm impressed by the quality of it for the Price, The only odd thing I found about it is where it saves recordings, I can't seem to figure out why it only seems to save to the SD card on the initial recording, and all subsequent recordings are saved locally on the phone, It seems hit and miss, This something anyone else has been experiencing? or is there something i'm missing with recording with this specific drone. Thanks for the review by the way!

Great video like always. Sounds like sjrc is a better buy eventhough i am a bugs guy. Its kinda funny they do this. Bugs will make money no matter if u buy bugs or sjrc. 🙂

Hey CAPTAIN DRONE. What to choose, X9 with gimbal(1080) or this one without gimbal but 2K? A comparison would also be nice ;)

On the jjrc x11 is there another remote controller compatible with it I've seen several remote controllers that look like it on other drones

Good drones but the same bug's bad camera should improve it something similar to fimi A3 Thanks good review

Hello that's a nice review 👍.. of a nice flyer looks good I appreciate your videos..👌.... helpful great..

Thanks for your reviews. Do you have an opinion on what app is better - the Bugs Go app or the JJRCX app? Does one seem more stable than the other?

Thinking of getting a drone like this but still not sure what too choose. One with better camera or one with better flight ability. Or is there another choice wich has both and falls in this price range

Another brilliant video

Jjrc X11 and Bugs 4w. Which one better?

Hi Captain. I just order the jjrc x11 drone I live in Canada as well. What app do you use ? People are saying the app does not work the one that comes in the box. They tried other ones and follow me,way points and map dosent work. Also camera freezes and app shuts down constantly. Your help is much appriciated.

is the remote of JJrc x11 2k 5g is battery operated or rechargeable?

So what is the best low cost drone or do a top 5

Good review CD. Not sure why these manufacturers think low framerate video is preferable to standard 1080p at 30ftps.

Love all these drones

I bought this drone on Amazon based on your review. Pending receipt. It really does appear to be a very decent drone for the price. Im a little disappointed that the props show up when you have the camera aligned so the horizon is flat. If you lower the camera you get a fish eye result. Im debating to return this for the mavic mini. Unfortunately the mavic mini doesnt have those nice GPS features like the X11 but it does have a much butter camera/video. Decisions, decisions.

Captain Drone! Love your reviews and videos! My question is this. I LOVE the JJRC X11. I made the purchase based on your review. But I'd like to take it to the next level with a 3 axis gimble. What are your suggestions?

Great review and drone

Captain please make a review of visuo zen K1😊😁🙏

It asks the first 2 permissions in English the third is Chinese, thanks for your quick responses unreal.

Nice review I am considering this drone but I have to ask, what phone are you using? I have a Samsung galaxy S7. I looked at the list but some of those phone review say they do not support the 5G. Thanks in advance.

Have you ever tested a potensic (?) drone? And also the Holystone drones? I'm very interested, but don't need the circle photo, or the waypoint. All the other bells and whistles...Sure! Distance looks real good for sure on this one.

Really enjoy the reviews since I found and subbed to your channel I have wanted to get a drone. What would you recommend for a noob with a $200 price thank you and have a good day Jimmy from Massachusetts

nice drone but I'm quite not satisfied about the camera quality because of the dark surface on the sides of the screen.

At 4:20 we see the jerky bouncy recording quality. Notice it missed the landing pad both times. LED landing lights clever.

Great review! Where are the links to buy (usually you have links in the description)? Sorry if they are there and I’m just not seeing them 😊

How i wish to have a drone. Nice review

Ok confirmed, just did an official test flight, the iphone 6 works fine with the app all features (GPS and controller icon enabled) but the motorola g6 does not work with GPS in the app so cannot do tracking, orbit, gesture mode etc....oh well at least it works...have to use iphone!

I laughed at zebra eyes... LOL

I have a question Cap! Do you recall when you were testing "follow me" feature with one of the drones you were testing and you went up a small hill and the drone did not adjust its altitude to compensate for the hill and was going to crash into the hill? I'm curious, are all drones you test the "follow me feature" on capable of adjusting for the hill in "follow me mode"? Or is that not a worth testing as most people do not use the follow me feature? I found that feature a benefit if you were going to use the "follow me feature".

do you have a review about the jjrc x 17 ?

Captain which is better to get the sjrc f11 normal verison or the pro verison which should i get

may I ask out of fly experience, video recording and functonality which one would you consider better? JJRC X9 or the JJRC X11?

Great review 👍🏻 Btw between x11 and x9, which is better? (camera and stability)

Thank you for the review. But can you film in portrait mode? I'm looking for a drone to use on instagram.

Hello Captain drone , as always a great video., I just got mine today, & it fly great, I did compass calibration, got solid lights, I got 11 satellites. After take off the drone is not rock solid & it is drifting, any advice?

I ordered the bug 4w on gearbest and they said it will be shipped only in 31th of october because its out of stock... if i change to the JJRC X11 will i be loosing anything? Whats the differnce between the two drones?

What should I get SJRC F11 PRO or this thing?

Do you know if this drone will work on 802.11a/b/g/n? Or does it require 802.11ac? The "n" is supposed to support 5G wifi, but does it really? Thanks! Great review!

Which is better f11 pro or all the bugs 4w drones? More importantly which has the better camera?

Can you connect a tablet to the controller? And do you need a OTG cable for it? Thanks captain drone!

Crop the props- my new T-shirt

i heard MJX is more reliable. which should i choose now ?????
