Hey guys tell me here tonight I've got another cool item to review tonight I
have the sharper image it's called the Dro five in a little box here list that
has a lot of cool features this drone cost $29.99 so it's reasonably priced it
says right here it's a live streaming video drone and it comes with a 0.3
megapixel digital camera it says right here it's got Auto orientation and from
my understanding that means that it like levels itself out sorta like an auto
pilot and it says here that it's got auto landing and that's another thing
that I think will help out quite a bit because you know I think learning how to
land one of these things is probably not super easy it also says that it has 360
degrees don't rolls I don't know that that's something I'll be using it a
whole lot for but it is pretty cool that you can't play with this thing not only
can you use it for a camera but it's something you can also play with to do
stunts so that's pretty awesome it says that this remote control is a 2.4
gigahertz full-functioning your remote I'm not sure what that means either I've
never had a drone before it says here it's capable of panoramic video and
still shot photo it also says for this drone there's no
FAA registration needed it says it has 4 LED lights so that you can view this at
night and right here it also shows on the box that this is rechargeable and
obviously if you've got something like this it probably does use a lot of
energy and you burn up a lot of batteries if you had to put batteries in
this thing and also batteries weigh a lot so it's nice to know this has a
rechargeable battery so as soon as you spend up that battery you'll just be
able to plug it in and recharge it it says it has six access gyro
stabilization and I know that like a gyroscope has something to do with like
the way a plane stays in air or the balance of it or something I'm not
completely sure exactly how it all works but I'm guessing this must have
something to do with that as well I'm pretty excited about getting this thing
open and checking it out so let's get started okay so the drone is fairly
good-sized there's my hand for comparison it's a decent sized little
drone and we see the remote control there and then it looks like we got from
the little I don't know what you might call us like tripod or the little grip
for the camera it's hard for your phone so that you can use it as a camera so
not a whole lot of pieces here looks like we've just got three pieces here
drains it's pretty light I guess it has to be but it feels pretty solid feels
pretty sturdy and I most got a little bit of weight to it too it's a little
heavier than I thought it might be so that's kind of good makes it a little
more heavy duty and then of course got the foam mouth
and right here is a package it's got some extra propellers in it and it's got
a charging cord in it and I wanted you to see I've got a phone hooked up to my
controller right here and I have an app that I downloaded from the App Store and
it allows me to use the camera that's on the drone and all the video right now is
you know through the app Bluetooth thing to the drone but there is no audio to
this I just want to let you know that
all right so this is the drone filming me while it's flying around or while I'm
attempting to fly it around I know I'm not the best pilot but I didn't want you
to see some video that's captured by this drone in a controlled setting with
ok lighting and everything so it does a pretty good job it's not the greatest
but it does a pretty good job and obviously there's no audio with it so
you'll have to do voiceover ring or you know add your own music or something
like that but I didn't expect it would have you know audio since it you know as
a drone that would just add to the weight and it would probably be hard to
you know hear anything when you're filming with the drone pretty far away
and over the buzzing of the propeller blades ok so almost the first time I
flew it I landed it right into my pool and luckily the cover was on it already
but it did completely submerge I had to let it dry out for 24 hours before it
worked again so do not get these things wet and that
was just a flip that this thing does it does the 360 flip so there's a little
flip button on here and you hit that hit the button and it immediately does a
flip so that's pretty awesome and what you're seeing right here is just me
flying it around a little bit like I said I'm not the greatest pilot with one
of these things this is all new to me but you're getting ready to see the
camera in action it's not the greatest video but I don't want you to I didn't
want you to get an idea of what quality of video it does shoot somebody that's a
little better controlling one of these things I'm sure will shoot a lot better
quality video somebody it's a lot better at keeping it stabilized so you know
just wanted to let you see a little bit of that and at night whenever the wind
was down this thing was very easy to fly and had a lot better stability
and right here this is actual footage it's being filmed by the drone and that
was a flip just there and you can like I said you can tell I'm not the greatest
pilot with this thing so I do apologize for the stability of this video but you
know somebody that gets good at this you know will be able to keep it stabilized
and in my defense it was a little bit windy and I have learned that if you
have you know no wind whatsoever this thing flies great so I did take it out a
little bit later and flew it around and unfortunately it was at night and you're
gonna see a little bit of that alright so here I am at the side of my house and
I filming it and I got this drone pretty high it's hard to tell the perspective
but here in this video I got it up about a hundred feet when I first took it out
it was really windy and I got it up to probably about 200 feet and it got away
from me and flew way over into my neighbor's yard and he looked kind of
far away it just got a weight and went over there I had to hit the land button
and then it automatically landed and it just kept kind of drifting you know
farther away it almost went out into a country road and got hit by car almost
luckily I was able to save it and right here you can see it's probably about a
hundred feet in the air right here I hit the automatically in button
maybe right there in the grass
easy to find all right I know I need to learn how to fly a drone but I had a
good time with this so hey I only wrecked it into myself twice I think I
got my fingers chopped in the blades once or twice but I had a really good
time we got to see a couple barrel rolls and you got to see this fly just a
little bit what you didn't see is me getting this way way up in the air and a
wind current caught it and carried it way over my neighbor's house I had a
really hard time getting it back I had to physically walk over to my neighbor's
yard and pluck this out of the yard I've heard that you get about eight to ten
minutes of flight out of this I got about 10 solid minutes of flight I mean
I know it wasn't flying the entire time but I figure stops and starts and all
that altogether I filmed for 11 minutes and then the
battery ran out so this sharper image drone is pretty
cool I've never had a drone before so I really don't have a whole lot to compare
it to but I had a really good time with this and for 30 bucks you can't beat it
and you also got to see it going the drink
when it went into the pool luckily the pool is down for the winter so all it
did was go into the shallow part of it but I did have to let this dry out
before it worked again so it's not waterproof I hope you've enjoyed this
