Another said batteries fail to hold any charge.ģ0 meters the antennae on the remote control are fake No wind resistance, based on Amazon reviews of the E58 clone flying in the wind.ġ2 minutes for 1 battery One Amazon reviewer of E58 clone said 6 minutes per battery, as did a BBB complaint filer. No, several Amazon reviewers of the E58 clone lost their drones, after they flew out of range. Unknown, the E58 clone claims 90° of range. The camera physically looks like it’s not on a gimbal.ġ/2.3″ sensor for camera (standard size for lower priced DJI and competitor drones) SD memory card onboard for lossless videoĬlaims to have a 3 axis gimbal, but camera just points to the ground, with no stability. And I actually found another Quadair product page that says,’At a price that is 6X cheaper than similar drones, we are the first brand that offers a high-end drone at an affordable price.‘ Quadair versus the DJI Mini Se High End Feature Ours is 6X cheaper,” implying it can do the same thing a $600 drone can do. Heck it even says in its copy, “The average drone costs $600. Still it’s a fair comparison because Quadair is advertising that it’s a high end product. The Mini SE is at least more closely priced to the Quadair, albeit still a ways away, at $399 on Amazon. I would argue that the actual ‘high-end’ DJI model is its Mini 3 Pro, but that one is between $700 and $1000 depending on which set up you buy. Let’s do a comparison between a real high end, but lower priced drone, the DJI Mini SE, and the Quadair drone. The remote control is the exact same model too. It’s the exact same drone, down to the yellow stripe detailing on its arms. Go check out the Quadair product page, and look at the drone’s picture against the that of the E58. The reviews aren’t that great either: 3.5 stars with 30% of the reviews being 1 or 2 stars, secondary to quality control issues. It says it’s simultaneously a 1080 pixel HD camera, as well as a 4k pixel camera. And this E58 model drone item page, on Amazon, suffers from the familiar, but poorly written Amazon item descriptions, authored by non-native English speakers, working for a Chinese marketing agency.įurther, it has confusing copy, regarding its camera. The Quadair Drone actually looks to be a rebranded E58 toy drone by Eachine, that you can buy on Amazon for around forty dollars (and was twenty bucks, back in December). Scroll on down, and they even say it ‘…uses advanced materials and proprietary control algorithms to fly like a $10,000 military-grade training drone.’Īll that for only $149 retail, with a 33% discount, for a current price of $100!īut is that really the case? Quadair Drone looks exactly the same as a toy E58 drone sold on Amazon for cheap Indeed it’s the first thing you read in large font when you visit their page. Quadair says their drone is the ‘first high-end drone at an affordable price’. And having known nothing about the subject beforehand, it took a few days to get up to speed, on what features should be a what price points, and which brands made the best quality products.Īlong the way I came across the Quadair drone, that has an absolutely beautiful product landing page, which looks like it’s modeled after some of the EXO brand drone product pages.īut the Quadair product page seemed like it’s designed to take advantage of first time buyers, that haven’t done any research on what’s a good quality drone, and what’s more along the lines of a kid’s toy. The other day I started researching drones for hiking and backpacking related videos, and photos. Is the Quadair drone a scam, or is it legit?
