Product Information

Tap to start recording, tap again to end, and save the video to your memory card and mobile device. The Snaptain SP500 is an inexpensive camera drone with some surprisingly advanced features for the price. It supports GPS, a 1080p camera, has a flight time of around fifteen minutes, and is foldable for convenient storage. You won’t be shooting any movie-quality panoramas with the SP500, but it’s a great entry-level camera drone.

There is a function called TapFly, in which you can draw a path in the SP500s app, and the drone will then fly around that path autonomously. Another flight mode is Circle Fly, which allows you to set a point and have your drone fly around it. Plus there are number of features that helps keep the drone safe. For beginners, I highly recommend use propeller guards as it will protect both you and the drone. Throughout the flights, if you ever lose sight of the drone, push the smart return to home button to recall. The SP500 runs on brushed motors, which isn’t ideal. Brushed motors are typically less efficient and higher maintenance than their brushless counterparts. That being said, this is an entry-level camera drone at a very compelling price – there will be compromises. The SP500 has all basic drone features plus more, as well as good flight, battery and video support but it has a downside which is it’s stabilization since it doesn’t come with any gimbal or EIS.As I mentioned previously, the Snaptain SP500 drone doesn’t have brushless motors which is a minor downside. Though, the remote controller uses all-new 5GHz frequency signal that greatly enhances responsiveness and speed of communication. Press and hold the ( ) button for 3s to start calibrating. After you hear a beep from the remote and the LEDs on the arms of the drone are off, the drone is preparing for the compass calibration.

Before flying, please make some practice with a simulator or seek for instruction from a professional.
