My kid is boring, with several months of SIP. I wanted to cheer him up. We tried to look for many toys and finally decided this one. This one is so cute compared to other drones, like a big egg.
We tried flying it in our backyard, also tried it in ‘remote plane zone’ in the park. It is amazing, surprising me.
Assembling and instructions are not hard to me. Taking off and landing went really well. The 4K UHD camera, the AI face recognition, stability, and not bad battery time (maybe more functions we need to explore later) are features value for the money cost.
We should try larger range next time.
Finally, it worth the money. We will try more. We hope to bring it on trips when the SIP finish (by the way, there is a very useful carrying case).

charged up both batteries and first battery we did the updates and everything was just fine, flew great... next day we had some light rain and was perfect to try out the water shell... even did a recalibration with the shell on and flew for about 30 seconds normally before full throttling upward and to the right... drone had no control at this point and i watched it helplessly as it smashed into a tree and hit the ground destroying the egg
wishing i had listened to the poor reviews i read before giving it the benefit of the doubt, this thing is nothing but a headache... 3 years of updates and it is complete headache

Interesting product with good quality

I saw the PowerEgg X release during the CES this year. And it was pretty impressive with all the different features.
I was a little bit hesitant because of some of the reviews but I bought the drone anyways. Overall it was awesome, tried out a few times, and worked as expected.

The first time I tried the DV mode and had to do the FW update. It somehow didn't complete the first time although it said it was completed in the app. I re-started the drone and the app, then the second time it updated successfully. The video quality was not so great on the phone screen, but after I exported this to the computer it seems fine.

The face following mode was pretty impressive. My girlfriend and I have tried a few times and it can follow the face correctly. One drawback is if it loses the face, it will need some more time to re-capture the face.

One thing I am interested to try is the anti-vibration of the camera. I usually shoot some v-log videos with my phone but it does not have great quality while walking. I hope PowerEgg X would be a better tool for the video quality.

Today I finally have a chance to try out the drone mode of PowerEgg X. The arms were easy to install, and felt like good quality arms. I took off the drone near my house without any problems. Flew for about 15-20 mins and landed successfully.

The battery is almost out but enough for landing safely. The video transmission on phone screen had some lag from time to time. I did notice a warning message saying too many wifi interference. I guess this makes sense since I am flying around the living area.

The whole flight was pretty stable, but I didn't try to fly too far or too high since I don't want to lose the drone in a neighborhood area. Will try more in some wide space later when this virus thing is gone.

Personally I like the product, from my initial testing, it is doing what it promised. Hope there will be a place I can buy accessories for the drone. I might be able to try out the water take-off/landing in the coming summer.

Defective, returned, Amazon Refusing refund

Defective and returned.
I have proof this was delivered back and Amazon confirmed it and they will not give me a refund! I am now without a drone for work, can not buy a new one due to Amazon not giving a refund. They need to rectify this. The lousy two times we got to use it before it broke the picture and video quality was great. Our customers were completely satisfied. This cost us business due to it malfunctioning. Amazon is not helping get this resolved. Be careful buying this as they change the rules of return every day I have talked to them!!!

The Power Egg X is Fun!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020

Style: Wizard: w/ full waterproof kit, extra batteryVerified Purchase

The Power Egg X was easy to install, with a simple removal of the battery to attach the wings to the Egg. Battery charging was simple for both the Egg and the remote, and I charged both batteries and the remote as soon as I opened the box. The remote had a quality and sturdy feel with nice toggles with good grip. The remote matches nicely to the Egg has you can see in the attached photo. The Egg has a cool look. An app download was needed and the drone required a simple firmware update on both the drone and the remote. The camera had great viewing at night that could be seen clearly on my phone. It is nice having the 2 batteries as one can be charged while the other is in use. The unit has excellent versatility outside of using it as a drone. One important note is to be sure to remove the Gimbal protector or the unit will not fly. The Power Egg X is a lot of fun!

Not quite what I was hoping for :(

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020

Style: Wizard: w/ full waterproof kit, extra batteryVerified Purchase

Main issue with this product is the camera, for the most part using 4k @ 60 f/s and 4k @ 30 f/s.At first it would only record anywhere from 30 seconds to 90 seconds and turn off, but still showing on the controller that it WAS recording. Any setting using it in the 1080 mode worked fine for the duration of the flight. After the latest firmware update, now recording time in 4k @ 30 f/s and 4k @ 60 f/s dropped to 6 to 9 seconds of recording time before turning itself off. The latest firmware update included numerous selections in 4k f/s ( 24 f/s, 25 f/s and 50 f/s). So far I got the 4k @ 25 f/s working fine and recorded for a 20 minute flight.
For a few positives, charger works great, no issues with either battery ( getting almost 25 minutes of flight time with outside temps below 30 degrees F. Auto take-off works fine, goes up 4 to 5 feet and has hovered in position for an entire charge of a battery. Manual start-up and take-off works fine and haven't had any issues yet with the Return to Home (RTH) function after 30 flights so far. So far it is handling a good amount of wind, 20 to 25 mph. My range so far (based on flying open fields with no WiFi interference ) is approx. 2 miles with some glitching. Waterproof kit seems to work great so far, have only flown it in a couple of snow storms with landing and taking off in powder snow. Drone is very responsive to the controller.
Hopefully as new firmware comes out ,things will get better and closer to what they say it will do.

Ended up returning it

Update, after a week of back and forth with their tech support, I received no help at all so I am returning the drone. I am pretty bummed because I really wanted this to work.

I purchased this drone for the sole reason that it is water resistant and I wanted something I could fly in the rain and snow. It was a day late, not that big of a deal, and when I got it all together and tried to connect it to my phone, it would not connect saying there was a Firmware Update. I go to update and I get a "Network Error" so it will not download the update. I tried two different phones, two different Wi-Fi networks, and even just cellular data but it will not go through. I have reached out to the tech support email and after three emails and a phone call, I finally got a response. They said they would review my issue but that I can ignore the update and just fly the drone. Nope, I cannot just ignore the update because without it, I cannot connect to the drone. Super frustrated at this point and am thinking about just returning the drone. I wish there were more water/weather proof drones on the market in this price range but there aren't.

Super great drone!

High Performance, Big Drone, Super Stable Plus A Great Camera!!!!!!!

I totally Fall in LOVE with MY new toy ~~ School CLOSED for 6 wks that put me and my kids stuck together 24 hrs x7 days. I decided to purchase this drone to play with my kid at my backyard, since I can't take it to Hawaii with me during spring brk @_@

The 4K UHD camera has a super wide angle lens that provides for great photo opportunities while flying around. I like the fact that this thing carry AI face recognition as well.

The drone itself also capable of large, fast laps around the neighborhood. It does more than simply hover for photos. My kids got all excited to play with it.

It didn't take me long to unbox and assemble. Calibration instructions are simple and easy to follow.

I can't wait to bring this gadget and my kid to vacation after this crazy corona outbreak IS OVER

Lots great, nothing bad, & 1 thing to improve.

This Drone was made to be versatile, and it really really is. I mean on the tripod it can be a 4k camera tech that keeps you centered & focused as you move around. Then it does all the drone stuff over land & water.. The PowerEgg X is awesome. There's always room for improvement, but as is I do love this drone.
The area where I see more to be desired, is in services AFTER you're an owner... There's so much that they could do better or do at all.
Parts for instance. Want just a leg or 2, new from HQ? Not gonna happen. Have to find a private party with a wreck or have to buy a whole reconditioned drone. Accessories? Just the wizard items, & for example, if you wanted just the water proofing plastic bubble, if I recall right, it's North of $300!! If they want to be different from the other drone companies, continual accessory line development, & reasonable prices for their loyal customers to better enjoy a PowerVision drone would be a great way... I have tons of ideas that would make great options when first ordering the drone, or great add-ons for years down the road.. Parts & accessories even long after a Zzß see eßËparticular model is no longer in production, if done right would be appreciated by more owners than just myself.. But no drone companies are doing this now, so it's no reason to not get a PowerEgg-X. It's just you should know that end of the deal before instead of finding out after..

Really handy tool for photographer who needs video and drone functions

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020

Style: Explorer: basic packageVerified Purchase

I am a Realtor and photographer and during COVID-19 I see an increased needs for video tour for mine and other colleague's listings due to the SIP regulations. Plus, I need a new drone to replace my old DJI mavic mini but can't wait for the new DJI mavic air 2.

In general, I am very satisfied with the poweregg X. The design and build quality are beyond my expectation, it feels like an art product in my hand. It is very easy to transit from a handheld camcorder to a flying drone, which meets my basic requirements for video tour and bird eye view. It also came with an accessories for tripod attachment but I don't really use this function myself.

The image is very stable even when there is strong wind. The video and image quality is good enough for my advertisement purpose. The control range is approximately 300 ft and the "return to home" function is very handy, avoid flying the drone out of the range.

The battery drains fairly quick when in drone mode, I normally have an extra battery with me and most of the time my job can be done with only one battery. The waterproof and landing/taking off on water function was not tested but should be fun and will definitely try it next time I go to kayaking.
