F11GIM2

I’m extremely happy with this drone. Right out of the box it was easy to set up and very beginner-friendly, but it still has features that more experienced users will appreciate. The flight stability is excellent, even in light wind, and the controls are smooth and responsive. The camera quality exceeded my expectations for the price — clear video, sharp photos, and solid range. Battery life is also better than expected, giving me plenty of flight time before needing to recharge. Overall, this drone feels well-built and reliable. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great drone at a reasonable price. Customer service was outstanding. I had a question after my purchase and received a quick, professional, and friendly response. They were very helpful and made sure my issue was fully resolved without any hassle. It’s rare to find such responsive and supportive customer service these days, and it really adds confidence to the purchase. I appreciate how much they stand behind their product and take care of their customers.

After unboxing and flying this drone, I was immediately impressed with the drone's stability and the flawless pictures I was able to capture during flight. It has many of the same functions as the F11 pro2 but the pictures compared to the F11 pro are by far more stunning. This is due to the 8K capability and the 48 MP camera attached. Apparently, the camera also can capture ultra clear night shots as well. Compared to other drones, the Ruko Pro2 Plus offers the same superb picture quality but at a much lower price point. It is suitable for beginners and I would definitely recommend to anyone in the market for a new drone.

Nice little drone! I had an issue with mine, and contacted customer service. I got through incredibly quick, and they were eager to help replace my unit at no extra charge! Which I appreciate! lol This drone takes pretty good pictures and video! I have had several drones in the past, and the quality has been far less than advertised. With this small, flimsyish camera, I was really surprised at how well they came out! The video is incredibly stable, and I’m really happy with the results! It’s a bit loud, but not overly so. I have had mini drones that were louder. I just wouldn’t use it for any top secret spy missions. The battery life is insane! The battery on the controller didn’t last as long as the drone batteries! I’m so used to only being able to fly for under 10 minutes! Between the three batteries that came with it, I was airborne for over an hour (total combined time)! As for the controller, maybe keep a USB power bank with you, and you won’t have issues. Big manual, yet easy to fly! Getting started seemed a bit confusing at first, but following the quick guide got me flying in no time at all! Be sure to read it!! For the price, it performs as well as drones more then twice what this one costs!

When I received my drone I followed the directions to charge the batteries and controller before use. Then I connected my phone after downloading the Rulo app.connection to my phone is wired so no messing with WiFi between the drone, controller and phone. The first time I flew it outside I was very impressed by the control in 15-20 knot winds. Steady as a rock! Return to home functioned very good. It landed back on the pad it had taken off from. I've flown it with and without GPS. I found it a little less steady but quite functional with the GPS disengaged. My flight time per battery averages 25 minutes, mostly because I always seem to fly when it's windy. I flew it once in light rain without problem. I found flying it inside where the ceiling was about 12 feet high quite challenging. I won't be doing that again. I have crashed it twice and did hit a chair which put a small crack in one blade. Have flown it outside with no issues due to the cracked blade. The video is clear and crisp. No vibration on the video. I'm still learning all the ins and outs this drone offers. I have contacted customer support a few times and they were able to get back to me the same day. They answered my questions clearly and let me know to ask whatever until I was satisfied. This drone is really smooth and wind- hardy.i recommend this drone for first time users who want start off with a great recreational use drone.

This is a decent drone and does pretty much what it says it will. The manual leaves a little to be desired, does not include some useful details, and was not reviewed by a fluent English speaker before publication and thus contains many grammatical errors that sometimes require a little intuitive thinking to unravel. The video quality is excellent as long as you're not trying to shoot very near objects, in which case, because this is a wide angle lens, the image becomes a little bit "fish eye". Great for flying in mostly calm conditions but doesn't have the mass or power to resist even moderate breezes and will get blown around. Flight must be in open areas in such conditions or you risk losing the drone. I do like that their software allows me to set my own restrictions on distance and altitude as well as "return" altitude. I'll comment, though, that for the small cost difference, if you don't mind having to register it with the FAA, it might be better to compare it to the labeled "upgraded" model which ought to do somewhat better on breezy days. My two big hangups with this unit are, first, it has a very slow rate of ascent/descent and will take about two minutes to get to maximum altitude or to land from it and, second, the farther away it is from the controller, even just straight up at 400', the video and telemetry can become choppy, making it less responsive to controls and more difficult to keep it clear of obstacles, requiring more cautious flying. I don't even want to imagine how it behaves 7,000+ feet away. Also note that the "return home" function won't go exactly to point of origin but will be within five feet or so. It would also be nice if it were easier to control the speed at which the drone rotates on its axis for "panning" during video recording. Note that this drone is NOT "remote ID" compliant but the support staff say that this will be available later via a software update. I was not informed how to get notified of that and see no available downloads other than the manuals on their website. An inquiry towards the end of the year might provide different results.

The Ruko F11 GIM2 drone is absolutely one of the very best drones I have ever owned and flown. It handles like a Lamborghini and is so reliable, that I don't even worry about anything with the drone when I am flying it. The only problem I encountered was the life of the batteries when flying, however, it really wasn't a problem but a safety feature built into the batteries. If the batteries aren't used for a few days, the start to discharge so the cells in the battery don;t get damaged. Now, I charge the batteries just before I head out to fly, and the life of the batteries are what I expected from them. One battery in particular, I get an average of 32 minutes from it. The others are not quite that good, but very close. I have 233 Kilometers on the drone, and I have had absolutely ZERO problems with it. The F11 GIM2 also handles the wind with no problem and the video is as stable as it is with no wind. If you want a well built, dependable, powerful drone, the the Ruko F11 GIM2 is your best buy.

My original review describes the problems I had with the original drone. Everything worked except the camera gimbal which would never calibrate during setup for flight. This meant that the camera couldn't be pointed at all during flight. I had a few conversations with Ruko tech support. They made a few suggestions, I tried them but nothing worked. They agreed that the gimbal must be defective. They shipped me a replacement free of charge, no restocking fees, etc. The new drone worked as advertised right out of the box. I have not had much time to experiment, but I already know I will have fun learning how to fly it. One remaining point of confusion for me was that while the original controller connects to your mobile phone via WiFi (you will need the mobile phone alongside the controller to display the view from the drone camera), the replacement came with a new updated controller that uses a physical cable to connect the phone to the controller replacing the WiFi connection. At first, I thought WiFi was a better or more convenient option than a cable, but now I don't really care, the cable is easy to use and all the components -- drone, controller, phone, and phone app -- are connecting and working together. And the camera works too. My compliments to Ruko tech support. They took my concerns seriously and worked to address them. It's rare today to find a tech support line where they actually listen to you and care about solving a problem. Original Review: I am a beginner to drone tech, but comfortable with computers and tech in general. This was my first drone purchase. I really wanted to like this product. Although the instructions were very brief, I was able to figure out how to prepare it and fly it in beginner mode. So far so good. But I assume most people purchase drones for the camera function, not just to watch it fly around. And here is where it failed. The camera worked fine, good picture quality. I could also zoom in and out. But the gimbals for orienting the camera simply did not work at all, DOA right out of the box. It appears it was never even tested after manufacture. I read a few blogs, tried various reset operations, manipulating it manually to try and coax it out of its tilted orientation. But nothing worked. There is a calibration and orientation step during the flight prep, documentation says the gimbal will automatically move the camera into level position within 20 seconds of the start of calibration. But this leveling never happens, camera remains tilted about 30 degrees to the horizontal. And the gimbal controls on the remote do nothing to fix it. I called the 1-888 telephone number to speak to technical support. Support was prompt and friendly. After describing the issue, the contact agreed that it sounded defective and that I should return it. This will be a great product once Ruko figures out how to provide better quality control.

(Ruko F11GIM2) Great quality and functioning drone for the money. I have owned one for 2 yrs. I purchased another one so I would have one at two different properties in different states. Received my second one next day from ordering which was superfast shipping time. Slight issue with the controller pairing to the drone, but RUKO support helped immensely. I did email support and they were quick to reply asking me questions. I called support and they took my call immediately asking questions on things I had checked. I packaged back up, sent a return to replace with same item ( since this drone is awesome ) and will receive a new one next day. Again, Love this drone, it works great and I highly recommend if you’re going to use it for recreational use. Update: RUKO for the win! and there isn't another company that compares!!! 5 star company that puts their customers first! WOW, just WOW!! I now own two F11GIM2 drones and one F11PRO2 drone. Absolutely hands down the best experience ever. Wish I could give them 10 stars and that's still selling there customer service and products short. More like 100 stars!!! I will be buying more products with no questions. If you are considering a drone, don't even think about it, buy a RUKO DRONE!!!!!!
