Not sure if I like this drone or not. I bought a Ruko F11 a year ago. I had some issues with it but some of those may have been due to inexperience. I bought this one mostly due to the improvements to the camera. Like my other Ruko this drone does drift left and right. And I do not care how many times you calibrate it. The drone will still drift. Playing with it today the image on the app started shaking. The drone itself was stable. My first thought was the camera was broke. But after landing the drone the image on the app still was vibrating. Turning it off and then back on resolved the problem but shortly after it did it again. If I do not find a resolution to this I will send it back.

Drone works great, I never had flown a drone before. first time was without incident make sure you keep it in beginner mode until you get used to the controls. Takes excellent photos and video, very stable flight I wish this model had headless mode like the F-11 non Gim, just takes some time to get used to it

I checked out some friends Mavic 2 and Mini before my purchase of the Ruko f11 pro. I like the way the flew and the user interface. After seeing some reviews on the YouTube for Ruko f11 4k I decided to make the Ruko purchase because it was larger than the Mavic mini which provides better stability in the wind and Mavic 2 was too expensive. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the Ruko was easy to fly. It is very stable which allows time to operate the camera. The flight time is as advertised based on your flying speed. I like it because It still offers a challenge flying if you want to take your flying to the edge but still offers some features like return to home to help keep out of trouble. Besides the great camera and gimbal, these are factors that helped me make my purchasing decision.1. Ruko has a US based warehouse and customer service.2. The replace parts can be purchased through customer service or Amazon for fast shipping.3. Ruko shares parts with the SJRC F11 PROConclusion: If you want a full feature camera drone for a far price, the Ruko F11 pro will provide hours of fun for all ages. Nothing negative. It operates as advertised.

I got this drone as a belated Christmas gift and it is just impressive. I have wanted a drone for quite some time but was intimidated by the number of drones and which features I needed. With the F11 GIM, you get all of the features of more expensive drones and if you're a beginner like me, you get an easy to use drone with helper features until you're ready to take your training wheels off (... I'm not there yet). The video is flawless. The gimbal makes the difference and there is no weird fisheye like other drones. The company is very customer friendly. I was very pleasantly surprised by how responsive they have been which is a breath of fresh air.

Takes amazing videos and pictures. When you first fly it, it will be set on beginner mode, which only allows you to fly 30m, but that can be turned off, and you can fly up to 1150m. My mind is completely blown away by how awesome this drive is for the price. If I could change some things it would be that the WiFi range from your phone to the drone only lasts about 50-60m away, so you are flying blind after that, but it still records on your SD card. Also the battery life dies VERY fast when flying on sport mode. Dies in about 15-20mins on sport mode. All in all I’d rate it a 9/10 for what you’re getting for the price. This drone could easily sell for 700-800 if they wanted.

I'm a beginner drone flyer and did a lot of research before choosing the RUKO F11 GIM. It has been easy to learn to fly and I wanted a drone with a gimble that takes great pictures. Hope it is as reliable as they say.

Drone is well built and quieter than other drones I have flown. Flight time is outstanding. The camera does not do video well. I have tried two different micro sd cards, one capable of 170mb/sec speeds and the video will start jumping them smooth out, jump some, smooth out, over and over again. The gimble does great at keeping the image stable but the video quality is not usable because of the skipping frames. The return to home is accurate and the image track works well. So does GPS track. If you are in an area with poor GPS signal. The drone will all of the sudden just take off. Unfortunately my house seems to be in one of those areas. All in all it is a very good flying drone. The 4k pictures are good but if you are wanting it for video, mine anyway does not do that very well.Update:The video is fine that was recorded on the phone. Looks like the choppy playback is due to my computer hardware trying to process the 4K video. My monitor is not 4K. With a full 4K set up it should be fine. Do check the GPS signal where you fly though. It fly's excellent with a good signal but is there are any obstructions like buildings around the signal will degrade and you can have flight stability issues.
