  • Great beginner drone, great price for the features and great customer support
Color: Updated Black
I've had my Ruko U11 4K mini for about 6 months. It is my first drone and it easy very easy to use as a beginner. It has a beginner mode which I utilized until I felt comfortable flying further and faster. Im really enjoying it. I've had a couple of software issues, one fixed by an update and the other the Support team is helping me with. Their Support is great. They are very responsive and have been very helpful to me. I love that I can just message them on WhatsApp and chat with them. I would definitely recommend this drone to beginners or even intermediate pilots. Its very user friendly, takes great pictures and videos and is easy to fly. That combined with great support and a very reasonable price, is why I gave them 5 stars. ... show more

  • This is the drone to buy! Customer service is on point!
I am new to flying quadcopters/drones, and this is my first. I have seen Mavics in operation, and this is a drone that may have fewer features but for the price you cannot beat this drone. I received the drone just a few days ago. It is extremely well packaged. It's heavy too, 585g (for reference the Air 2S clocks in at 595). The box is sturdy, inside the box, is an opaque plastic zip bag that holds the really cool hard side carrying case (think old-school lunchbox for size comparison). Open the carry case, and everything is compartmented in foam. The lid has a mesh zip pocket as well. There is a spot for the extra battery, drone, and controller. Now for the operation. Fold out the arms, press the power button, and the drone is ready to go. I turn on the controller, it connects...and nothing. Turns out you absolutely have to use the app on your cell. The controller has a great spot to securely hold your phone. So, I download the app, fire it up, and look at the quick start guide. You have to calibrate the compass, i.e. turn the drone horizontally and vertically, it'll beep after each and you are ready to go. Or so I thought. The quick start guide says press the sticks to the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions to start the motors. I do that...nothing happens. I look at the app and there's a button that looks like a bullseye, I press that and a little window pops up and says slide bar to start motors, and a button that says "take off." I do that...still nothing. I look a little more, and see that "GPS mode" is on and it is getting no GPS signal. There's a button on the remote, to cycle through modes, so I press that to a different mode. Here's the important part so I will type slowly and loudly for the folks in the back UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR FIRST FLIGHT INDOORS!!! I took all of the steps I mentioned above with the drone sitting on a table in my office. The motors spun up, and I thought cool it works! I'll just lift it off the table and set it back down...WRONG. I made the mistake of using the "one touch takeoff/landing" button on the remote. Let me tell you that if you press that button this thing will leap in the air like a bullfrog with a cattle prod up his a$$! I hit the button and it hit the ceiling and came crashing to the ground! At this point, I'm thinking to myself, there's a $400 lesson learned. I pick up the drone and sure enough, cracked arm. It's now a $400 paper weight; speaking of paper the motors WILL blow paper everywhere if you have any sitting on your table :) Not one to be so easily defeated, I look on the ol' amazon for a replacement arm, and sure enough they have them, but I can't get one (won't ship to Guam). I decide to take a flyer and email customer service with my dilemma. Sybil from Ruko responded within minutes, asking which arm I needed. I tell her, and she says no problem we will send you one free of charge. I'm thinking great new arm, then I get her next email, sorry we can't send it to Guam. Damn. But she says order one and send us the order number and we will refund the cost to you. Holy cow!! These folks are awesome! I actually had already ordered one to be sent stateside to the fam to put in a care package at a later date. Whether Sybil follows through or not, her responsiveness and willingness to help are a rare quality these days. I decided since it's only a crack let me see what crazy glue will do. I put the glue to the crack, waited about 36 hours and just check the pic and video. The quality is outstanding on the camera. Pictures are crystal clear and detailed. The video is crisp. The camera gimbal works great, and produces outstanding pictures. I did all of this without an SD card. The pics/videos are sent to your phone. You connect your phone via wifi to the drone. I launched the drone OUTSIDE my house, went up about 100 feet, flew around a little bit, and hit the home button. It took about 30 seconds for it to decide what to do, and it went straight over to the takeoff point, re-oriented to face the original direction, and slowly descended back to the ground. There is no obstacle avoidance feature like more expensive drones, but I'm not sure that would've helped me on my maiden flight :) Overall, if you are looking for a good introduction to drones without breaking the bank BUY THIS DRONE! This is not a toy. It's also not a $1000 Mavic. What it is, is an outstanding reasonably priced drone with tons of features. Buy it you won't be sorry. (I actually bought a second one in case the crazy glue didn't work). ... show more

  • Grab Go Fly!
Color: Updated Black
This drone is fast, flies far and as high as you need to go. I think its price point is fair. Remember, its a mini-not a full size drone. That said, the stills and video are great: jst like the full-size pro-sumers. I got the version in which its an all in one controller; not the type where you plug n play your phone. The controller and drone connect easily and quickly. Screen is clear. Data is there. The controller has all the usual features: return to home, auto takeoff/land, follow me, circle, create course etc. It has beginner and advanced modes. Important: this drone is not under embroiled within the current restrictions that other drones are in the middle of. You can fly this without that worry. The other important-maube the most important point: the support service. I've owned 3 other drones and the support either didn't exist or wasn't helpful at all. Ruko Support is top notch. The company stands by their products and their people stand by you. If youre looking for a grab and go done for a beginner or experienced pilot I think this is a good product to have in your traveling "pocket." ... show more

  • Tale of Two Drones....Great Customer Service
I bought this drone as my first ever. I was amazed how stable and easy it was to fly and the camera quality was better than I expected as was the battery life. As my confidence grew I flew higher, further away, and faster. Eventually, I got cocky and started flying within the trees on the property as a sort of obstacle course. It was awesome. Faster and faster in smaller spaces until unfortunately, I flew it into a large oak and after bouncing around in the branches a bit, it fell about 15 feet to the driveway. I thought it would be destroyed, but surprisingly, the only real damage aside from some scars in the plastic body was a broken front landing gear and the camera cover fell off. I easily replaced the landing gear with an available replacement and glued the cover back on. Fired it back up and it was flying as well as before the crash. Unfortunately, I was a bit sloppy with the glue and cleaning of the cover so video quality was a bit cloudy when facing the sun. I wanted to get good quality video so I bought this same drone again. The experience with the second drone has been completely different. It will often lose connection with the controller and is not stable at all. Once, I had it hovering about 10 feet off the ground about 10 feet away from me and it went into a swirl on its own growing in diameter and changing elevation until it almost hit my vehicle. I couldn't control it and quickly hit the emergency land mode. It has had a mind of its own on several flights and I now have no confidence in it. I'll just fly the original and put up with the lower quality video, which was my fault. 5 stars for first drone, but cant get past 1 star for the second. Update: Ruko proactively reached out to resolve issue with second drone. They even offered relief on the first drone, which I declined as the crash was completely on me and of no fault of Ruko. I'll give them another shot and try an upgraded model because they obviously stand behind their products. ... show more

  • Excellent WELL made drone with many features
I have been extremely impressed with this drone on numerous occasions especially at this price point. I am new to flying "real" drones after only fooling around with more toy like drones in the past so I thought there would be a big learning curve, but this drone has impressed since I've opened it. The drone gets you started in Beginner mode where you can learn some of the features while limiting how far and high your drone can fly to protect both yourself and your investment in the drone. This is nice feature right out of the fox and every novice drone operator should take full advantage of. I flew mine in this mode for the first 5-6 flights just to be sure I knew what was going on as this drone is not a toy and is capable of much more. Once comfortable with the flight controls, I finally set her free and how fun it has been. This drone is easy to control with lots of feature such as "follow me and point of interest video". The 4k video and pictures are evident with every snap and video taken, the images are crystal clear, and we got some excellent video and images while vacationing in Bermuda. The return home button is fantastic and has always brought my drone home safely, just be sure to set your return heights in the settings to coincide with the surrounding areas (i.e. if there are trees or poles in your flight path be sure to set the return home height above the height of those obstacles). The wind resistance feature is also amazing as in light winds its barely noticeable and even in heavier winds you can see and hear the drone battling the wind effectively. So many other features I'm still playing around with months later and learning. Since I'm a novice flyer this drone has had some bumps and bruises but nothing out of ordinary, mostly related toa rough landing while trying to control the drone in heavy winds near the oceanfront but its taken everything. I would highly recommend this drone both for beginners and more experienced, it has all the features to enable a rookie operator to learn and enough features to be a go to drone for a more seasoned operator who may not want to fly a more expensive unit in certain areas. And 1 finally thing I wanted to mention. The customer service of this company is nothing short of amazing. From the time the drone ships they follow up with you to make sure everything is going ok sending emails every so often to see how things are going, and to see if any questions you may have. The customer service team has always answered emails promptly and always to my satisfaction which is something that a lot of company's these days lack for these reasons alone this drone is worth the investment. I had a small warranty issue that was resolved quickly and efficiently and to my complete satisfaction and would like to Recognize the customer service representative Cherry specifically. She has been a godsend and am so happy with her customer service I feel like you she needed to be acknowledged in this review specifically. Thank you, Cherry, for your outstanding customer service and attention to detail. Buy this drone, you will not be disappointed. ... show more

  • Customer service and their tech department came through yet again.
Update March 13, 2024: I had a glitch with my newest F11 GIM2. Firstly it was not saving all videos to the SD card and then it would not hover. It would start to swing in a very small but growing circle until I took control of it and even then, it was erratic. I took it in the house, gave it a good long look and put a fresh battery in it. I then flew a test flight when it looked like everything was okay. My mistake.... When I hit return home, it came back but it started to come down quite a distance from where it took off and with my spine fully fused, I have to listen for it when directly overhead as I cannot look up. I was in the sun and could not seen the screen on my phone. I should have stopped it where it was, laid down on the ground to see it but did not. That is my usual MO. Instead, I just let it come down and it did so, right into a tree. It got destroyed! I took full responsibility for the crash but RUKO insisted in sending me a replacement free of charge! Their custom service and their want to keep their customers happy goes above and beyond any company I have ever dealt with. Ruko rocks! Customer for life! Can't wait to see what the next newest drone is like. You can bet I'll be chomping at the bit to get it. I'm an environmental watchdog and these drones have helped my address a handful of pollution issues I could not get evidence without a drone. RUKO made it happen and this area is now being protected from industrial polluters. Thank you Ruko! Update: I bought another F11GIM2 and I wanted to comment on the new controller. The newer version that is wired and is a great improvement. Though I suggest you plug it in with the wire going up so that it does not get in the way of the axis control. Once you set your phone to default to the USB connection when connected, it is plug and play. Previously, I had to put my phone in airplane mode and not have any available wifi connections for it to connect to the drone. That issue requiring several steps is now gone. This controller has better reception too. I am monitoring an environmental issue and make the same flight regularly. Occasionally due to trees, I'd lose the connection. That is rare now. Very nice upgrade! Well done! Great drone for the cost. Picture is spectacular too... Update: Sept 6 2023: All of a sudden the date and time on my videos were all 12/31/2023 11:00 pm After working at possible corrections over a period of a couple weeks, they suggesting and I trying to find the error, they finally identified a problem with the App. The contacted me with a link to the new App version and my drone is now dating and timestamping correctly again. They were very helpful. BTW the GIM2 is a tank. I crashed it for the 1st time today and it was no worse for wear. It hit hard too. Props had a couple dings but I replaced them easily and it's like nothing happened. I was lucky I did not break one or more of the arms. I think a lesser drone would have. Very well made. Solid as a rock. Update June 8, 2023: I've had my F11GIM2 for almost 11 months. I had a small concern and emailed RUKO. I had a concern about a component of the drone system. Despite being out of warranty, they have offered a replacement of the component to put my concern to rest How can you go wrong with a company like this? 5 stars!!! The ease of set-up and flying this is beyond simple. I don't play video games so controllers in my hands are a new thing. I took to flying this drone in minutes and it has helped me greatly in checking out areas I cannot venture into do to mobility issues. It has become my eyes for places I cannot get into. Feally opened up my world. Beautiful video, easy to fly and the distance is incredible. Customer support is above and beyond if you need it. Highly recommend this drone. You get more bang for your buck than you would ever believe. Highly recommend this drone. Video attached to this review was taken June 7th, 2023. I'm watching over the progress in a quarry across from my home. Sure makes it easy to see things where I cannot go on foot... :) ... show more

  • App and support problems
I couldn't use the drone because the android Ruko Drone app requires Google Play Services which is not included on my LineageOS phone. The app opens and then just crashes with no message after a few seconds after tapping the "Controls" button. The parts of the app that do work have a few glaring typos and misspellings. The app isn't technically required to fly the drone however the compass needs calibrating every time you use the drone and that can only be done with the app. The box was supposed to include the (3) RC cables for the connection between the remote and the phone but those were missing as well as the screws for the spare propellers. I contacted Ruko support. They respond within hours but aren't very helpful. They want a video screen capture of the App's behavior which I can record but its too large to email and they have no way to receive the file on their support website. Their support system is just an email inbox and they don't seem to have an actual login for customers, a ticketing system to assign case numbers or any of the standard processes you would expect. I was asked to upload the video to YouTube instead. Obviously I can't upload to YouTube without Google Play Services. There is I suppose other options but, call me crazy, I shouldn't have to do Ruko Support's job for them. They're a company that sells flying video cameras and yet they have no way to receive these video files from customers. It's important to note that any video sharing website is going to compress the original file so that sort of interferes with support. Not even an FTP site was available so support stopped there and no further effort was made to look into the problem I was having. Their support didn't ask for debug files, firmware versions, logs or anything. It was very low effort from them. I also asked about the missing cables and I was told maybe I'll get them but never heard back and never received them. A friend was kind enough to install the app for me and the drone worked well enough on their phone. That's how I took the picture. I noticed the drone stopped responding after getting about 100 meters away. It wouldn't go any further. This is probably because the RC cable was missing I'm guessing. Overall the image from the camera was very stable and indeed the drone was stable in strong wind as advertised. Its just the software and support that make this not a good choice. I did manage to get the app open long enough on the Controls screen to tap the radar icon in the lower lefthand corner of the screen. That returned an error message overlayed in that corner that said "Ruko Drone app requires Google Play Services which is not supported by your device." That's how I was able to get confirmation that it was indeed a lack of Google Play Services and not some other problem. I would've hoped that maybe Ruko Support could have told me that but it seems like they really didn't know, didn't have the motivation to find out and or didn't have anyone to ask. So if it works, it works but if you have a problem, you'll just have to return it. ... show more
