How to set up the Drone

A lot of people have been asking how to set up the drone. If you are one of them, so don’t worry. In this section, we will try to cover as much as possible. You would be getting the manual with the kit; I would recommend going through it, it will clear all your doubts. If you haven’t figured it out till now, follow the below steps to take your drone off.

Firstly, install the app from the play store. It’s called JYUFO app and supported to iOS and Android both.
Then insert the battery in the drone and switch it on. Once the drone is ON, you will see the wifi option in your smartphone. Connect with it.
Once the drone is connected is with the smartphone. Open the app, and there you will see the two controller buttons: one for direction and another one for speed. In case, you want to stop the drone in an emergency; you can use the Up button; all the motors will stop, and the drone will fall.
Push the throttle button, the left one, and it will start hovering. If you are a beginner, don’t increase the speed of more than 30%. Also, when you are flying it indoors, try to keep the drone at minimum speed. Once you get the hang of it, you can start flying the quadcopter at higher speed.
It also has a single button take off and landing. I would recommend going with this one at the starting; once you get good at it, you can start exploring the more features like panorama and flips.

Selfie Drone 7s Cons

Though the drone is a very inexpensive and worth investment, but still, there are a couple of things that user didn’t like and could be improved.

You might see some lag in the live stream once the drone goes around 60 or 70metres. The transmission is not that good; you have to compromise in this area.
This doesn’t have an external memory card slot that is a big constraint as well.
Though the drone has good altitude hold, but it hovers to and fro, so you might also face some problems in stability.

Verdict

I would say if you are a beginner and looking for a drone especially for selfie purpose and want to have little bit fun as well, this drone could be the right choice for you. This mini-drone is super cheap, and I would say at this range, you won’t find any better option. So, if you are looking for a good entry level drone which is easy to use and worth every single penny, then there is nothing better than Selfie Drone 7S.

Happy Flying!!!
