Hi nice to see you again, today we're going to take a look at the Drocon
Traveler, this is a lightweight drone and you can see it comes preassembled with
the blade guards on they're quite flexible in case of a crash it's also
got a safety sticker just to let you know how to pair this, which is quite
nice. This back section is for the large battery that will need charging before
you use it and that comes in a box of bits along with the little feet that
you're gonna have to attach the camera, that's a 720p Wi-Fi camera, that you'll
be able to record to, some replacement rotor blades just in case you have an
accident, a mini bag of bits inside the box of bits and that's got a charging,
cable micro SD card, and there's the remote control as well which comes
handily pre labelled up just to give you an idea so you have to mess around with
manual, it's quite a nice remote doesn't take long to pair it with the main unit
and it's actually quite easy to use. Before you actually go flying you'll
need to attach the little legs and they come with screws pre-fitted you also
need to pop the micro SD card in the camera and pop the camera on, that's a
tool less fitting that just slides onto the bottom, you'll need to attach the USB
cable and also download the app to your mobile and you can get a real-time video
feed straight to your phone. You'll need to charge the main battery up before you
go flying, it's got a special adapter but on the other end is just a standard USB
it took a couple of hours to charge but I would say it would give about 15
minutes or so 10 to 15 minutes and that's including recording.
The controller itself has four double A batteries that you need to pop in the
back note there's a couple of buttons just on the back as well they're all
explained in the manual and there's this very cool pop-out section which is where
you can place your mobile phones so this tucks away when not in use and you just
pull it out and you see this a little bit springy and that's where you can
place your phone and then you can see the image directly from the camera when
it's in flight. When you want to get the images you can either pull them straight
off to your phone or use this micro SD card adapter. Having reviewed a number of
these I'm really impressed actually this has got a one touch take off button and
it's pretty stable as well, so the camera footage is in
for us at the moment, you can see I'm actually keeping quite good control
normally in these review videos you'd see me crashes at least once but
actually I managed not to crash this that's all, it's actually quite a steady
platform. There's no gimbal on the camera so the
camera itself is a little bit jerky if we just switch over to the cameras the
main view you'll see what I mean going left and right you get kind of a steady
image but actually it really shows when you're tilting it around there's a lot
of movement there. The drone itself has lights: green and red, green at the
front the red at the back so you know which way it is pointing.
Overall I found this to be a very easy to control drone I even was brave enough
to take it up to some height although you can see in the wind I was having to
correct for little gusts of wind cause it's a very light drone but you if you
are very brave on a nice calm day you might be able to take that up even
further and the one-touch take off also helps land it so you can see it's
touching down now bit of a bumpy landing but otherwise it was ok. The screen works
really well so here's the button just to demonstrate that one switch take off
press the button and away it goes it's fairly noisy little drone and I was a
bit disappointed because on the main Amazon page it says it's got optical
anti shake function but as you can see that optical and shake function doesn't
really do much compared to a gimbal so if you're looking for something like the
DJI Spark's level of quality you're not going to get that with this, but it's a
good little starts drone and it's so stable you can see here I don't even
need to hold on to the controls it will keep itself in about the same kind of
position that you would hope unless there's a big gust of wind.
Overall then I'd say this is the easiest drone I've flown to date it's not a dirt cheap
drone but neither is it the kind of DJI expensive drone level and so if you're
just looking to get into drone flying having a little bit of fun messing
around with a bit of camera footage then this is definitely one to consider. I'll
put a link in the description below if you want to check the drone out I hope
you found this short of useful if you have please consider hitting subscribe and
I'll see you next time.
