SJ R/C F11 brushless GPS drone with camera

SJRC F11 GPS drone quadcopter

Only few days ago I introduced the SJRC Z5 brushed GPS quad and now I’m back to write you about the SJ R/C F11, a GPS enabled brushless drone. Adopting similar design, these two can be easily confused. Even their remote controllers are about the same.

Brush-less motors, compared to brushed ones, offer not just better flight performance, but they are also more reliable. This is why all professional grade multi-rotors are using this type of motors.

Frankly, the lack of an optical image stabilization makes me a bit skeptical regarding the image quality. From the many quadcopter reviews I made, I didn’t obtained any smooth aerial footage without a gimbal. Anyway, at least the SJ RC F11 Pro has remote camera angle adjustment.

  1. Why can’t I find any good videos on how this drone can fly in windy conditions? I live at the beach and the winds are always at least 8 mph to 12 on a average day.

  2. Thanks bro but my camera freezes together with distance/height after drone reaches between 400m-471m and even though drone’s still accelerating, I’m unable to tell which distance covered. Any help please?

    • Range is widely depending on receptor (mobile), radio interface, trees, building, etc. IMHO, If you reach 400 meters from such toy drone is good. For example my P3A is up y 3KM rated, and it start to freeze after 500-600 meters.

      • Thanks Robert but is there a way we can independently continue tracking the distance and height as we accelerate further even after the image freezes at the FPV mode?
