👾: This is a great drone that's packed with technology. It's relatively easy to fly with no experience. I want to caution that when landing this aircraft, the engine/blades slow when touching the ground then spool up/rev a bit before shutting down completely. If you attempt to land on an uneven surface, it may cause the drone to flip or take an uncontrolled flight path. When this happens, the engine won't shut down, so you must attempt to fly or use the emergency shut-off button if it's low enough to the ground.
I haven't pushed this product to test distance or scenarios where it might lose reception.
This drone isn't super fast, but fast enough. Designed for pictures and video rather than speed. I was pleasantly surprised how it handled in heavy wind.
The camera is pretty good and captures good, clear video and photos.
The product comes with an extra set of blades and a battery, complete with its travel case.
The registration process with the FAA takes a few minutes and is simple to navigate.
The mobile app is relatively easy to use and understand.
I would highly recommend this product as a gift and or for folks interested in learning to fly drones.

Charlene: This is a gift for my husband so he hasn’t used it yet. However we got it quickly and everything was there. Looks like good quality. One thing I know for sure is the company selling it is amazing! Made sure i received it and was happy with my purchase and thanked me! I will buy from them again.

Amazon Customer: I have owned Ruko drones in the past. They work very well and are well built. Picture and video quality is great. Easy to operate and handles well in the wind. I think I need a second one!

CHARLES GAGNON: Je suis tres satisfait du drone .J ai eu a communiquer avec Ruko (Joyce) 2 fois ,et le service est au dela des normes standards .Les deux fois sont due a mon inexpérience et certaines incompréhensions de ma part.Il faut dire que je ne suis pas de la génération des manette de jeux..,bien que je soit pilote de brousse,ces premiers sont ,a mon avis,avantagés!!Mon conseil ,faites des exercices de bases ,et éloignez le drone par étapes.Car si trop vite,vous aller vous servir tres régulierement de la fonction ``retour au point de départ``
L instrument que vous verrez au bas a gauche de l'ecran est primordiale a bien maitriser quand vous n avez plus le visuel sur votre drone ,en plus des données sur la hauteur ,distance et vitesse.Car vous etes en mode ``vol aux instruments `` (instruments flight rules) .En dernier ,je tiens a remercier le service a la clientele de RUKO .Avec ce genre de nouvelle technologie,le support est primordiale ,et je crois qu'ils le font tres bien.Charles Gagnon ,Québec,Canada

Gibbs Baird: I purchased this based on the upgraded controller, but the unit I received came with the older controller which is WIFI based. Since I have not yet flown it, I may try to return it. Otherwise, the drone looks like a solid little unit and I was looking forward to my first flight.

If you are in Canada, keep in mind that you are required to register the drone with Transport Canada and you are required to obtain a Pilot Certificate by completing the online exam. I was not aware of this before purchasing, but did comply with Canadian Legislation.

AshtonArman: I recently had the opportunity to try out the Ruko F11GIM2 drone, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in many ways. This beginner drone offers a fantastic flying experience, with powerful capabilities that make it suitable for both novice and experienced users.

One of the standout features of the F11GIM2 is its ease of use. The instruction manual and accompanying video guides made it incredibly simple to get started, even for someone like me who had minimal prior experience with drones. The intuitive controls allowed me to quickly take off, maneuver, and land the drone with confidence.

In terms of performance, the F11GIM2 impressed me with its stability and flight capabilities. Despite some minor drift, which is common among many drones, I found the overall flying experience to be smooth and enjoyable. The 2-axis gimbal and electronic stabilization system contributed to the exceptional stability of the camera, allowing me to capture stunning aerial footage.

Speaking of the camera, the F11GIM2's 4K gimbal camera is truly impressive. The image quality is excellent, and the 3-axis gimbal with image stabilization ensures that the footage remains steady and...

A. Fulcher: The media could not be loaded.  I'd never touched a drone but thought it would be fun to have/fly one... 🫣
I'm a "quick start" guide reader, and a "real directions" later kinda person. SO, there have been crashes- many of them- all my fault.... but I'm only on day 4 of learning, so the fact that this drone is still working amazes me!
The directions are pretty easy to follow (even though you can tell that they aren't written by an "English first language" author). There are plenty of instructional videos and pictures included, as well as the paper guides, so it's pretty easy to figure out.
The camera is pretty decent- clear video and photos at the default distance. Bright sun can wash out color, so that just depends on your direction. This was advertised as having a 3 direction gimbal, but it is only 2. The image stabilization seems pretty good though. Zoom is just so-so... digital, so quite pixelated at full zoom.
There are controls available via the app and the handheld controller- which as a newbie, can be confusing. Sometimes the app controls work better than the physical ones- that may also be user error. Mind you- I've only flown it in my yard so far-...

RodmanRodman: The media could not be loaded.  I am new to flying quadcopters/drones, and this is my first. I have seen Mavics in operation, and this is a drone that may have fewer features but for the price you cannot beat this drone. I received the drone just a few days ago. It is extremely well packaged. It's heavy too, 585g (for reference the Air 2S clocks in at 595). The box is sturdy, inside the box, is an opaque plastic zip bag that holds the really cool hard side carrying case (think old-school lunchbox for size comparison). Open the carry case, and everything is compartmented in foam. The lid has a mesh zip pocket as well. There is a spot for the extra battery, drone, and controller.

Now for the operation. Fold out the arms, press the power button, and the drone is ready to go. I turn on the controller, it connects...and nothing. Turns out you absolutely have to use the app on your cell. The controller has a great spot to securely hold your phone. So, I download the app, fire it up, and look at the quick start guide. You have to calibrate the compass, i.e. turn the drone horizontally and vertically, it'll beep after each and you are ready to go. Or so I thought. The quick...
