The reviewer is "really impressed" with the Ruko F11 Pro 2 drone, giving it a "10 out of 10" for its cost. They recommend it to "anybody, firsttime drone, anybody that wants good quality videos," highlighting that it "compares to drones that are three times the cost."
This review provides an unboxing and hands-on demonstration of the Ruko F11 Pro 2 drone. The reviewer covers its physical features, controller, and flight capabilities, particularly testing its performance and video quality while flying over the Hawaiian ocean in strong winds.
The RUKO F11 PRO 2 Drone is an excellent budget-friendly option for both beginners and experienced users, offering impressive video quality and stable performance. It shoots crisp 4K video at 30 frames per second and 6K photos with its Sony lens and 3-axis gimbal, maintaining stable footage even when flying in 8 to 10 knot winds with strong updrafts and downdrafts. However, video saved directly to a phone is downgraded to 720p, requiring users to retrieve the SD card for full 4K resolution. If you prioritize stable 4K aerial footage and robust wind handling without breaking the bank, this drone is a strong contender. However, if sharing high-resolution footage directly from your phone is crucial, you may need to offload from the SD card instead.
