Its not often that I'm surprised, well, there was that one time my grandma vaulted over a mini-pony to get to the last cream-puff before the dog ate it, but aside from that, its unusual. In this case though I can say without hesitation that I was surprised. Given the vast list of features that typically demand premium prices, to say nothing of the case, battery and folding functionality, I figured costs had to have been cut somewhere - like propellers are extra or you're only buying a picture of the drone, with a scratch and sniff sections where you can smell the summer breeze that you'd be flying in.....if you had propellers. It was with no small surprise then and all too rare bested expectations, when I opened the box to find the F11 Pro every bit the quality machine its claimed to be. The build quality is exceptional, it feels twice the price you pay. There's nothing cheap or flimsy about this aerial juggernaut, in fact before the flight test I wondered if something so....robust....could actually lumber into the air, let alone fly - but I'd be proved wrong on that score. Everything looks carefully crafted, form and function by design and purpose, as opposed to whatever injection mold was kicking around the shop. The case is good, everything fits well and even here, something that is often an afterthought thing "thrown in" you can see there is attention to detail and a bias toward doing it right.
Unfolding the drone takes a bit of thought - I mean, not Mensa-level, but there is an order to it, and in another nod to quality, you're going to need to apply some effort - not "Earl, get the sledge" effort, but the "arms" positively move into place and you won't be doing it with one finger - unless you have a really strong finger, like a body-builder, but just your finger....like your finger works out, but the rest of you doesn't. Unfolding the controller is actually as near a work of art as unfolding a controller can be - reminds me of a transformer...auto-bot, obviously.
Lets get down to brass-tacks though because as Humphrey Bogart once said, "design doesn't add up to a hill of beans in this crazy town, if the drone won't fly" - I'm not sure Bogart said anything even close to that actually, but if they had drones in 1942, he would have - but I digress. The start-up procedure for this drone is a little more involved than some lesser models, where the start-up procedure is basically "turn it on". This however is a more sophisticated machine and so your "pre-flight" is going to be more involved as well - and you want it to be.....it means the drone has complex systems, and just like any pre-flight check, its important to know that they are working and calibrated. That said, its relatively simple -basically comprised of turning in a circle and moving the control sticks - the instructions, app and quick-start guide on the inside of the box lid all do a great job of walking you through it.
Flying this drone is is what drone flying should be, but so often isn't. I have four drones and at least half are fair-weather only. Did someone sneeze fourteen miles away? Best not fly because the drone will be sent careening into a hedge. What's that?a perfect day with no wind? great....lets get our 8 minutes of flying in. Seriously, some drones seem more designed to have you take up another hobby, than fly drones. Fortunately, the F11 Pro makes flying fun. First, it laughs in the face of a breeze - it is basically a flying brick folks, and bricks don't take shtick from any mere gust of wind. Second, it will fly for about 28 minutes on a battery....28 minutes... that's almost 29 minutes, which is almost 30! AND you get a second battery in the box....so ....take 28, carry the four, find the square root of your mom's meatloaf and TADA!.....near as makes no difference, an hour of flight...IN THE BOX. I found all the flight features to be better than expected and more fun than I had thought - better yet though, is that you can actually fly this drone properly, outside, in the real world, and for longer than it takes some kid to say "hey nice drone, can I fly it"? To which you must automatically respond "Heck no kid, buzz off,...and.....tell mommy I'm on an important call, not to be disturbed for another 27 minutes".
I won't go into all the features, you can read them yourself, they are there, they work. What is important here though is that this drone is worth every penny you spend, and yes, it is more expensive than some lesser models, but those are the ones that don't fly well, or crash if uncle Dave toots in your general direction. It also flies for a long time, in a way that's controllable and adjustable for varied skill - and not just because it can go faster or slower, but because it has multiple features designed to make you successful and enjoy flying, almost as if that were the point.
I have no affiliation with the brand, I bought the drone with my own hard-earned cash and I write reviews for products that deserve them.

Good First Impressions, Not Hard For A Beginner, Need More Use For A Deeper Review
I recently became interested in buying a drone as a complement to photo/video work I enjoy doing when I go out to different places. I was looking for something at a reasonable price with some decent features, and the Ruko F11 came to my attention as a generally low-cost intro-level drone with some options that go beyond the very basics. A little more digging found the F11 Pro, which comes with a second battery and a few more features for a very similar price to the base version along with buying an extra battery separately, so I went with the Pro and bought a micro-SD card to use in the unit for recording video/photo.Out of the box, the drone is essentially ready to fly once you do a bit of initial setup. You can install an app that allows you to see through your phone what the drone sees, and the remote has a convenient clip that will hold the phone in place. I took the case off my Galaxy S10+ because it fit a little better without it.It is very important to go through the full setup process for calibration. If you skip any steps or don't let them complete, you will run the risk of the drone trying to fly off on you as soon as you direct it into the air, and fighting with the controls can be a difficult experience especially for a novice. I had this happen to me twice and the second time, it came close to veering into the side of a hill before I got it close enough to cut the motors for a semi-rough landing, but the drone itself was undamaged and it was a lesson learned. Do not just assume everything is good to go just because you calibrated it in a different place half an hour ago.That said, setup is relatively easy and the instructions walk you through it step by step, whether with the booklet, a separate card that comes with the drone, or through the phone app. When you've set it up properly and connected to the drone's own wifi, you will be able to see remaining battery power in the drone and the remote, through the app. If you're flying the drone close to you and there are some obstacles such as tree limbs or power lines nearby, you might find it easier to steer it while watching it yourself, but once you're used to flying it further and higher away (and if you turn off Beginner limits in the app), this is where viewing it through the app comes in very handy. This will help with positioning, direction, and so on, and adjusting the camera's angle can be done through the remote as well.Be aware that there are limitations to the distance in which the wifi signal comes clearly back to the phone, so you can fly beyond that and get a choppy visual image. The range of the remote itself extends beyond this, but as a novice drone pilot this was something I found I had to be aware of. It is also important to keep an eye on your battery's charge. Each one lasts nearly half an hour from a full charge, and when it gets low the lights on the drone will start to turn red and it will try to return to its launch point. If there are obstacles in the way, it is not high-end enough to have a feature such as collision detection, so pay attention to that.As for flying it, I found it to be easy to control and very responsive to my input. As a first-timer, I went to an open park and just got used to how it flies, and of course I had moments where I jerked it too far one way or another, but it held its position very steadily when I brought it close to a fence by a baseball field, elevated it above it, flew over it, then lowered it and repeated the other way. On my second try, I flew it close by some trees and power lines, and it was responsive with a little bit of adjusting needed to account for a mild breeze. I'm not sure yet how much wind I'd risk sending it up in, though.The primary reason I got it, and the third time I flew it, was to take it down to Shasta Lake in California to view some places left behind when Shasta Dam was built, such as old roads, bridges, and rail locations that are normally underwater except during drought conditions. The drone performed very well here, and I recorded about 35 minutes worth of video that I split between the two batteries I had. This is where I had a near-miss when I didn't go through the proper calibration steps all the way, but that is a lesson learned. You can see some still images I took from videos I captured.The drone flew steadily and I while I think I would prefer a non-fisheye lens to the one the F11 Pro comes with, along with a gimbal, which the F11 Pro also does not have, I found the video quality to be adequate for what I paid for. If I want better features, I would need to spend a bit more and Ruko offers a newer version of this drone that has a gimbal with a non-fisheye lens, but based on some reviews I've seen the jury may be out as to which one actually flies better.Anyway, I've found so far that keeping the lens facing straight ahead gives me better color quality to what I'm seeing, and based on the angle of the drone as it's flying I can still see the majority of what I want to. You do get a little bit of the propellers in the shot, but that's not too bad. The fisheye distortion shows a bit more as you're turning or straightening things out. If you don't like the fisheye effect and want more image stabilization, consider a different model, whether one by Ruko or another manufacturer.Batteries take a few hours to charge, and there are specs listed as to what kind of power adapter you should use. Basically, a phone charger will do fine and you want to make sure it's about 1-3A. This model comes with a nice little carrying case that can house the drone, one battery, the remote, and the documentation that comes with it. It is recommended to keep the battery disconnected from the drone when you are not using it.The drone software comes with additional features I have not yet had the chance to explore, such as a 'follow you' function, the ability to circle an object for a 360 view of it, and a point-to-point ability you can 'draw' on a map of the place you're in. These are not important features for me, but they are there for those who want to make use of them. The app will also provide you with a flight record and keep what you recorded, but you can use the micro-SD card to transfer higher-quality videos to your computer later.I think as a first-time user of a drone, this was a good entry point for me. I've found actually flying it to be easy to pick up as a beginner, and with more experience I will get more steady with it. Do be sure to download an app like 'B4UFLY' to check for any restrictions in the area you live in or go to. I live close enough to a small airport that there are height limitations to be aware of, for example. It has some good features and options for a ~$300 price point, and while you might not get everything you want in a drone for that price, this one gives you a good amount of stuff to try if you want to go beyond just flying it around.

1) It comes in its own sturdy, zippered carrying case. (I have various tech gadgets and toys that don't. Thus I'm always trying to figure out how to keep chargers, cables, and components together for storage and transport. Not so with this drone.)
2) It comes with two rechargeable batteries (although it would have been helpful if the manufacturer had included a 5 volt, 2-4 amp plug (but you can buy two on Amazon for about $10). Point being, the batteries wouldn't recharge using my iPhone plug adaptor (which is 5 volt, 1 amp). It does come with its own charging cables, though.
3) It has a geo-fence built into its "brain" so that it will automatically not go any further than about 98 feet out of the box, but you can override this once you're comfortable with how it operates and it can go almost up to a mile away. (Crazy, right?)
4) It takes amazingly clear video and snapshots. (And the camera has an easy to operate, one dial gimbal on the controller that allows you rotate the angle of the lens 90 degrees).
5) It comes with an extra set of propellers which I had to use my first day. (I crashed it three times just because of inexperience.) Third time I changed the propellers (two screws each) and was back in the air in minutes. I've already ordered another replacement set (for about $20). There is also a compartment for these in the carrying case.
6) It has three speeds you can select up to 49 feet per second (about 33 mph).
7) The "return home" button is a great fail safe. Click it, and the drone lands back where you launched it by itself.
8) The free iPhone app gives you clear instructions on how to calibrate and launch your drone.
All that said, flying it was as much fun as I had always imagined. It's really cool to be able to see an aerial view of places. I can see how flying one could become a serious hobby and even a side gig. As for being a beginner, I don't think I could have done much better than this drone. I'm100% satisfied!
My first time to fly a drone--I'm a hooked

Like some folks probably reading this review, I've been wanting a drone for a long time but for one reason or another, just never pulled the trigger on it. When I saw the high ratings on this one (and that it was on sale), I just pulled the trigger on it without doing any research, figuring that if it wasn't any good, or I broke it as a result of inexperience, it would only cost me a couple hundred bucks. Turned out, it was everything I thought it would be, and more. Here are the features that I found especially valuable:Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024
