The drone works perfectly for those who enjoy taking spectacular aerial photos and videos for personal or commercial use.

What Comes in the Box

You can easily store all your flying equipment and accessories in the travel case, which makes the drone on of the best for travel and anxious beginners who might tend to lose track of some of the gear.

Features of the Contixo F24

The features of the Contixo include many advanced functions, but the design is worth mentioning. This drone looks like a government spy drone, which many users will find appealing. That’s because of the drone’s sleek body, muted colors, quiet operation and steady flight capabilities. The best features of the drone include:

Engineering and Design

The high-quality of construction is immediately apparent, and despite the small size, it’s obvious that this drone is not a toy. Built for durability, the quick-release propellers are a case in point. The propellers are engineered to escape damage during a crash. The brushless motor is whisper-quiet and lasts longer than the motors of other drones because brushless motors require minimal maintenance.

High-quality Camera System

Although billed as a great drone for beginners, the camera is more sophisticated than those of most mid-level drones. The 1080P HD 5 GHz WiFi Camera has an adjustable lens with a 90-degree range for taking aerial shots at great angles. You can also enjoy real-time video transmission – up to 1,800 feet – when you download the app and connect your phone to the controller. Don’t worry about missing a great shot because everything is stored on your phone, and you can also buy an SD card to store footage on the camera.

The motorized camera and gimbals make sure that you never miss an important shot. You can shoot under the drone, film a bird’s-eye view and capture features from startling angles to capture the viewer’s attention.

Flying Modes

The Contixo F24 comes with lots of advanced flying functions that you can use for daredevil flying and automating flights. You can also ensure that your drone won’t wind up with Amelia Earhart – location unknown. These Flight modes include:

• Follow Me Mode
This function has become standard equipment in most drones because of its importance. The drone will follow you wherever you go, so you don’t have to monitor its flight path every second.

• Draw a Flight Path
With you phone connection and screen, you can draw a flight path on your phone for the drone to follow or circle an object for the drone to circle.

• Waypoint Flying
Using the built-in GPS system, you can fly to and from waypoints that you set using GPS coordinates.

• Auto Takeoff and Return
One button launches the drone in the air, and the same button makes the drone return and land. This is also an important safety feature that recalls your drone when you engage Return Home Mode or when the battery runs low or the drone moves out of control range.

• Circle Me Mode
This mode is great for capturing selfies from all sides in case you don’t know which is your good side.

• Gesture Control Mode
This mode enables you to control your drone with hand gestures.

• Headless Mode
This mode allows you to send the drone in any direction without pointing the controller at the nose of the drone.

• One Button Media Share
This feature makes it easy for you to shoot, view and send photos and videos to friends or post them on social media.

Great Battery Life and Fast Recharging

You get up to 30 minutes of flying time on a charge, and the battery recharges quickly. In high wind, your flying time might be reduced to 25 minutes. The Intelligent Battery, a 7.4V 2500mAh Lithium-polymer type, has LED lights that display the battery’s charge.

Expanded Commercial and Personal Uses

The Contixo F24 Drone is easy to operate, but don’t be fooled. It’d a great drone choice for those who want to map an area, take commercial photos of real estate with an aerial view or film personal action, such as water skiing, racing a sports car or even parachute jumping. You can film the landscape around your hotel, get an up-close view from the balcony and promote your hospitality business with recent videos on seasonal attractions, such as ski slopes, autumn foliage, etc.

Concluding Thoughts

You can unlock all the special flying features with your 5G-enabled smartphone. This is one of the top drones under $300 in most “Best” lists. The drone receives an average of 4.2 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Although you can’t buy an extra battery for extended flight time, the flight time of 30 minutes is superior, and it doesn’t take long to recharge the battery. The travel case makes it easy to transport, and because it’s foldable, you don’t need to break it down for storage. The drone is highly recommended for adults and camera enthusiasts, but the price is a little steep for true beginner pilots who are less than 13 years old.
