My new favorite drone
I own another Veenix drone so when this became available, I wanted to try it out. It soon became my favorite drone due to its features and flying capability.The first three pictures shows what it comes with. Drone, controller, and cables. The box is sturdy itself and does a good jobof protecting the drone and propellers.As for the quad copper itself, it flew very well in the wind. It was able to keep steady while I took pictures. I stored the pictures on my phone so not as high of quality as if stored on micro card. I included one picture taken by the v11Pro. As you can see, even while storing on phone, the picture is sharp.Overall, this is a good drone for both beginners and more experienced pilots. It has high end functionality along with easy to use controls.A warning to those without a micro usb type c port on your phone. You will have to use your own cord as they supplied only a usb-c to usb-c cord to connect the controller to your phone.

Very Solid, Smooth, and Stable
This is a review of the Veeniix V11Pro.The carrying case is well-made. It is rigid, with a carrying handle; much preferred over the shoulder strap that so many have. The components fit snugly and securely. It would have been nice if there was a cut-out for an additional battery (two extras vs one extra). As designed, the drone camera and gimbal face the bottom of the case when being carried. This arrangement would seem to put a fragile component more at risk of damage if the case is dropped, as opposed to having the drone cut-out such that the camera gimbal would be facing the carrying handle.Fit-and-finish of major components (drone, batteries, and controller) are tight and even. The blue plastics are a refreshing departure from the standard black and white finishes on so many drones. Extras: the drone comes with a full set of extra replacement props. So many times, there are ½ the number of needed replacement props included. This unit includes a full set (4) of replacement props. There is an extra pair of replacement controller knobs in the event one or more are needed. The included gimbal protector is a welcome addition.The manual is very comprehensive. It should provide answers to nearly any question, but needs to be read. It contains a few translation errors, but not so many or to such a degree that they make the instructions a chore to read and understand. Overall, the manual is very well-written and illustrated.The drone is more than capable of flying well beyond line-of-sight, which is something that is not permitted under both recreational and commercial FAA regulations for small unmanned aerial systems. Likewise, it is not subject to locked geo-zones, so fly responsibly. The signal between drone and controller was solid throughout all flights. Your results may be different depending on topography and radio signal interference when and where you fly. The responsiveness to controller inputs was not delayed, but was immediate and smooth. Only small moves were needed to actuate changes in yaw, pitch, roll, and lift; particularly with camera tilt. The return-to-home feature was accurate to within 4 feet. Landings were controlled and gentle upon touchdown. Don’t be afraid to put a little effort into unfolding the 4 arms. They are pretty firm. This drone is very solidly built, and unfolding it is no exception. There is nothing at all flimsy about this drone. Be sure to extend the front left and right landing gear before take-off. These also house internal antennas, so if not unfolded, your radio signal might be compromised.Video and photo color, saturation, clarity were all very acceptable. The camera will generate images that are sharp and clear. To see the resolution of your images and videos, read the micro SD card (128 GB or less) and right-click on each, then click on “Properties” file sizes, resolution, and DPI are a few of the details that you’ll discover. At high and normal speeds, there was a bit of very lightly visible “artifact” from the left prop in the upper left area of videos. This is likely from the degree to which the aircraft is pitching forward. No such was observed in the slowest (“Cine”) mode.The waypoint function works very well out to a maximum of 300 meters. Beyond that circumference, the waypoints do not operate. The “image-follow” function simply pivots the drone on a fixed point, not following the image forward, backwards or side-to-side. The “GPS follow” will permit the drone to actually move in a linear fashion to follow the controller.Flight time came out to around 32 minutes. This is roughly 80% of the advertised flight time and is well within the bounds of acceptability. Battery capacity will improve after a couple of charge-discharge cycles, so don’t expect to experience the full potential until after a few such flights. Charging time will vary according to the wall block being used, but my time from a low of 16% to full was about 90 minutes. There is not an obvious indication on the battery of when it is fully charged (change in LED indicators, lights turn off, all four LED remain solidly lit, etc.) like there is on the controller (“Charge Done”). The phone holder is large enough to hold my Samsung Galaxy S22+ without having to remove it from the Otter Box protective case. The drone has built-in RID. No external module needed. Due to weight (over 249 grams) the FAA requires the drone to be registered for all users (recreational and commercial). The manual provides very clear guidance on registering the unit with the FAA.The APP is very intuitive to follow. It is stable and provides a degree of redundancy with the telemetry data provided by the controller display. A minor issue for me was having to choose between the V11 and the V11Pro at the start of each new session. Perhaps this can be remedied in a future update to the app. It’s a minor issue but one that, if remedied, would serve to refine the app a bit.The drone performed as expected, and in a very convincing manner. There were no “surprises” of a negative nature. It is very solid, smooth, and stable. On this basis, it is receiving a 5-star rating from this reviewer.
