Review:

I have to thank the company Eachine, which in recent years has been considerably evolving, producing high-quality and avant-garde drones, both in terms of safety and technology, which gave me the opportunity to try one of their fantastic drones, the E511s, with GPS, 120 ° camera with 1080P, follow me mode and waypoint, and also the possibility of transmitting the video in FPV.

It is really a high quality product, made entirely of ABS-type plastic, very shock-resistant, black in color, with gray inserts that give it an "aggressive" appearance, thanks also to the presence, on the front, of the "NO FEAR" style eyes. Moreover, thanks to the folding arms, this drone is easy to carry, to carry it always with you.

On the front side, moreover, there is a 120 degree camera adjustable by the remote control, which allows you to take photos and make video recordings, during the flight, with a resolution of 1080P, the latter, can be saved on the SD memory card, not supplied as standard, placed in the underside of the drone, or using the FPV function, it will be explained later how, having the ability to transmit the video on the smartphone in real time.

The rear part, instead, houses the battery housing, with an interlocking system that will allow, once inserted, the use of the drone.

At the top, there is the drone power button, and five LEDs, which indicate the status of the drone's battery.

Below each motor there is a signaling LED, and at the base of each arm, there are openable feet, with rubber protections, which allow the drone to take off and land safely.

REMOTE CONTROL :

The drone is piloted, through the use of a remote control, completely black and slightly satin, which makes it, much more manageable and with a better grip.

It works with a frequency of 2.4 GHz, and is powered by four AAA 1.5V batteries, not supplied.

On the remote control we find, in the upper part the keys, used precisely to pilot and to activate the main functions, all marked with symbols that avoid any confusion during use.

The four keys, two on each side, on the backs allow us to:

LEFT SIDE

  • Take a picture : if an SD card has been inserted into the drone, clicking it will allow you to take a picture

  • Record a video : if an SD card has been inserted into the drone, clicking it will allow you to record a video

RIGHT SIDE

  • The first at the top : once pressed, the orbit function will be activated or deactivated, ie the drone will fly around you, and you can also use the multi-angle self-timer to have cinematographic effect photos and videos

  • The other button : allows to adjust the motor speed

On the front, instead, we find:

  • Some buttons, including the one for calibrating the compass, then the GPS, the one to land the drone in emergency mode, the buttons to make the drone take off and land, and those to rotate the integrated camera.

  • A switch for turning the remote control on and off.

  • Two joysticks, the one on the left to give gas, to make the drone rotate on itself and if clicked it activates / deactivates the headless mode, that is to pilot the drone without any type of sensor, while the right one for forward / backward movement , Left / right and if clicked, the return mode is activated / deactivated, ie to automatically and autonomously return the drone to the starting point, it works excellent especially when it is no longer visible and can be returned to the point of departure.

  • Four status LEDs, which indicate active GPS, active automatic return mode, camera in operation, active headless mode, respectively.

In the lower part, instead, a support for the smartphone has been inserted to use the FPV function, with the application and to have video streaming and apply all the other flight modes and functions available, when it is not used and it is possible to slip it to the inside of the remote control.

APP :

The application to download is called "LW-FPV", framing the QR code in the instruction manual, or directly from your store, is compatible with both Android and iOS devices.

After downloading and installing it, you will need to activate your phone's Wifi, once you have identified the connection, generated by the drone, connect and then start the application.

Once opened, we find the live transmission of the camera positioned on the drone and above the icons, to use some functions:

  • 3D vision, if clicked, the screen will be adapted to the vision with the use of 3D viewers, to enjoy the live streaming of your drone and fly in first person for a truly fantastic experience

  • Take pictures and record videos on the phone memory

  • Rotate the drone camera

  • Takeoff and landing

  • Change the flight mode, as you can choose between four modes, accurately lock the height and position of the drone, stable hovering, very convenient for stable and precise angular shots, follow a path traced in the map, follow the person who has the remote control, and the orbit mode, that is to rotate around the pilot of the drone of 360 °

  • View the status and quality of the WiFi between radio control and drone

  • View all drone information, such as altitude, flight speed, latitude and longitude, etc.

To have excellent performance in flight, you need to perform some basic steps before taking off, in order to calibrate the compass, pay close attention to all the basic steps that are written accurately in the user manual.

BATTERY :

The drone comes with two 7.4V 1200mAh high-capacity LiPo batteries, equipped with an optimized system for energy consumption, which greatly improves both the flight experience and its duration, in fact it has an autonomy that it varies from 15 to 17 minutes, depending on the activated functions, such as GPS, or if during use we record videos and / or take photos.

To charge the battery, the classic USB connector is provided.

In the package, quite protected, we find:

  • 2 Lipo batteries 7.4 V 1200 mAh

  • USB charging cable
