Weighting almost 500 grams, the CSJ S189 PRO can be considered more a budget Mavic Air 2 alternative than a MM one. It features GPS positioning, 4K camera with 2-axis mechanical stabilization, and powerful brushless motors. According to the specs, it can withstand wind gusts of level 6.

The CSJ S189 PRO drone comes equipped with two cameras. While the frontal camera is capable to record UHD videos, the bottom one only FHD videos. It comes with 5GHz WIFi video transmission, which allows you to display the camera’s live video feed on your smartphone’s screen.

Being powered by a high capacity (2s/3500mAh) battery, it can stay in the air for up to 25 minutes. You have the option to purchase it with 1, 2, or 3 flight batteries.

Thanks to the fail-safe return to home (RTH) function, in case of remote signal loss or low battery voltage, the quadcopter will return autonomously to the take-off point. RTH can be as well manually engaged from the transmitter.

  1. So I get it to sync up with my phone and the controller, but it won’t take off. It worked once, and that’s it. It says bad satellite signal on my phone, but I can’t even use the controller it came with. What should I do?

  2. Hello,

    I am looking at purchasing this drone. Are parts available for CSJ S189 like new props and batteries and chargers?

    Thanks
    Randall

    • You can check on eBay for parts and accessories. S189 Pro batteries are available with starting price of $32…

  3. You do not need to change your phone unless it is pre-2016. Most all phones have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Also, you do not need to have WIFI to fly a drone. Your phone and droid must be on the same network, 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz.

  4. bonjour , j’ai acheté ce modèle et je suis débutant. Que signifie exactement le critère 5G ?signifie t’il que pour avoir la retransmission vidéo je dois changer de smartphone et m’équiper d’un smartphone 4G/5G ?
    merci pour votre réponse future.
    Bien à vous

    Hello, I bought this model and am a beginner. What exactly does the 5G criterion mean? Does it mean that in order to have the video broadcast I must change my smartphone and equip myself with a 4G / 5G smartphone?
    thanks for your future reply.
    Yours truly
    Daniel
