The fast-rotating motors and propellers are a potential hazard to cause serious damage and injury. A safe distance of 5m must be maintained from the drone at all times while it is operational. Fly with responsibility. The SNAPTAIN SP500 comes with a rechargeable 7.4V 1000mAh battery which you can charge with the USB Battery Charger, which can last about 15 minutes recording at 1080p.

SNAPTAIN SP500 Review

TapFly – This is another flight mode that I am seeing a lot more of in cheap drones, it allows you to draw a path on the drone app and the drone will follow that route automatically, allowing you to concentrate more on taking quality images and videos.

This drone also comes with a rechargeable 1000 mAh batteries. The SP500 drone allows you to fly up to 15 minutes when they’re charged. The Snaptain SP500 drone’s size dimension extends to 12.9 x 12.9 x 2.2 inches when expanded forward. In the front of drone is a 1080P HD camera affixed on a gimbal stabilizer. It used combination of gimbal stabilizer and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) to deliver precise footages. In terms of flight performance, this camera drone can handle light to moderate winds with ease. Which makes it completely ideal for outdoor flying. Most of flight performance are done automatically thanks to built-in GPS module.Unfortunately, the batteries take around three hours to charge. Hence, a maximum of thirty minutes of flight time with a battery swap half-way through is the best you can get. Say Cheese! 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 Snaptain SP500 is a foldable drone, but in my opinion, it does not have the sleekest design; the rotor arms do not fully fold up, and this makes it look a bit bulky in its foldable form. I stated that foldable drones are my favourite, but the SP500 doesn’t really impress me when it’s folded up.

Do not charge the battery next to inflammable materials, such as beds, carpets, wood floors, etc., or on surfaces that are electrically conductive. Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
