RC FPV Reviews

by LABradford74

First of all the instructions are mostly in Chinese and you can’t understand what they’re saying. The website is in Chinese to get any kind of technical support. Every time I open RCFPV while the device is connected to its own Wi-Fi it crashes, so I cannot use the phone to maneuver it. I will need to use the remote but that entails going to the store for batteries.

The drone and the controller sync up and work fine. RCFPV quits Every time I hit start when connecting to the drone Wi-Fi. I saw that many users have the same problem, but did not hear any response from the software developer.

I got this Chinese drone for Christmas I charged it asap and couple hours later the drone and controller won’t connect. The camera doesn’t work even though I already connected it to the device.

I paid $35 for the drone on wish and the drone is fun to fly but in no way shape or form is the camera 4k as stated and the latency between the drone and the phone app is terrible on top of that on of the controls on RCFPV even work to control the drone only the physical control does the job. The phone only acts as a camera and video recorder but besides that that app is trash and does nothing as far as controlling the drone. Next time I’ll spend $500 or more for a drone and app that actually do what they are advertised to do! Complete trash!

No problem getting app installed but when in flight control the Direction control does not function and the section containing one click take off, stop and one click landing does not even show up on screen. Overall product is nothing like what is advertised. Did not expect much and got even less.

by HarafiZental

Instructions art pathetic. You can’t watch the video at the same time your controlling the drone. You can’t use the manual controller and use the camera simultaneously. You can’t even clear the videos (delete) them from RCFPV . At some point I’m sure their will be a limit reached and that part will crash. Pathetic

This drone is absolutely garbage. I got it to fly for about 3 seconds and then it never would power up again. I contacted support to simply get a replacement, thinking it possibly was defective. I never got a response and am stuck with losing the money and a drone for my children that won’t even power up

by Skybacks Rider

Literally nothing I have done shows the camera view of the drone I purchased. Even trying to look up instructions online has yielded no help. If you want a drone, just do yourself a favor and get the more expensive ones. This kind of crap isn’t worth the effort.

by HacoobIsBack

Whenever I connect the drone to the Wi-Fi for the camera RCFPV still says I need to connect my device, which I did!
But the controller works fine.
Its just the camera setup was a pain.

Still haven’t figured its out yet…

by Potsi Webber

RCFPV crashes and closes frequently. I can’t get past the start screen nine times out of 10 because as soon as I hit the start button, it crashes.

by Silent Ghostn

I finally managed to connect my drone to my phone and get the camera working but now soon as I open RCFPV it closes not sure what’s going on but I sure hope they fix it so I can play with the drone will change it to a five star review soon as this is fixed

by Shack7873

Bought this at 4 o’clock in the morning. Big mistake. In my opinion, this is total junk. look at the operating instructions on this before you buy it.

by SunnyDrinksAlot

Did the wife instal and does not work. I cannot get support because it’s in another language to get help

by Chininguis

They should update the application after you connect the drone it no longer gives an image

by EK1270

I bought this off of Temu (you get what you pay for). There is not a button to set the wi-fi connection from iPhone.

by Kaori55

Tried to connection the wifi but it won’t. Waste of time! Don’t bug this.

by Drrone

App won’t stay on for even 1 second. Needs fixing.

by Blade227

It’s not clear how to run this from your phone

by JCR303079

App crashes when try to connect to the iphone

by Benhur216

I turn on my drone. I then link my Wi-Fi to the drone. All of that is successful. However, when I open RCFPV , RC FPV, it then closes without an error.. I have tried this again while RCFPV was opened, but when I switched to RCFPV after I have linked the drone to my phone, using Wi-Fi, it then closes when I switch to it.

by Oliv Sweat

What is the Wi-Fi password?! I’ve been Trying to do this 😣

by Antchilly

Drone broke a few minute into use.

by Bob793

Nowhere to get parts

by Science Experiment

I randomly got an ad for this drone on YouTube every now and then a while ago and I don’t know what I was thinking buying this piece of garbage. Did I really think a $100 drone would be as high quality as the ad said it was? I feel so embarrassed for getting duped by it, don’t buy this drone! Actual high quality drones are expensive

by OB1canobeans

Received today, returning tomorrow. After charging battery the drone won’t turn on. Controller has batteries but won’t connect. No Wi-Fi signal Lon iPhone or Android. Save your money and head and don’t buy this.

by Mark_H69361

Got the drone, followed the qr code.. downloaded RCFPV .. instructions tell you to search wifi_*** my wifi doesnt have a search feature.. tried everything.. cant connect via wifi on my phone.. app starts up but cant connect.. no settings in RCFPV to connect.. using my wifi autosearch (default) cant find the drone either.. does RCFPV work... no.. disappointed... needs update or pitched in the bin.. please fix this

by Jnnuhboohn

This drone is really great, got this from Walmart, although it hurts people when ever I fly it goes left and hits a person not good at all, please fix what was happening

by Irmomisidkhelome

So I downloaded RCFPV , easy. But whenever I do connect it to the drone it kicks me out EVERY TIME. I cannot get into it again without uninstalling it. And the remote I have no clue how to work. The drone doesn’t move when I press anything and all the directions are in Chinese. Idk how to work it.

by Zallenz98

I can get to RCFPV interface without connecting to the drone WiFi. As long as I am connected to the drone, RCFPV crashes and I am out. Useless.

by Star╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I don’t know how to connect the drone to RCFPV , someone please help?

by Coolest Kid On Erth

When I open RCFPV to use the camera I can see the camera for a split second, and then RCFPV shuts down over and over I don’t know why

by Pugpupg

The day I got this I thought it was going to be fun. But as I got RCFPV I read the instructions on how to connect RCFPV to the drone and the Wi-Fi didn’t pop up so I’m thought my phone couldn’t connect to it so I restarted the phone and it still doesn’t connect and now the Wi-Fi of the drone is gone and it needs a password.

by SynLv

The drone itself in controller are working wonderfully when it comes to RCFPV . However, once I’ve established a Wi-Fi connection RCFPV continuously shut down and will not allow me to press start or go to the settings on RCFPV but once I disconnect the Wi-Fi connection to the drone. RCFPV worksfine except I cannot connect to the drone to use the camera or controller functions

by Rolyhot

I personal don’t recommend this drone you can’t connect you iPhone with it . Every time you try to connect it take you rite out and believe me it’s annoying since I got it I was trying to connect but fail . I really waste my money on this

by Blackrock50

The drone and its controller hardware instructions, placards and labels are all in Chinese. There’s a one page English crib sheet that doesn’t cover much. Once you figure out that both the drone and controller have to be powered on to make a WiFi connection to an iPhone RCFPV works but the controller itself remains a mystery until you take photos of it and it’s instruction sheet and show them to Google Translate which then renders them intelligible in English. Thereafter Bob’s your uncle. You can fly with or without the iPhone . 5 stars for the hardware, 4 for RCFPV and 3 overall because of usability issues noted.

by BassFoxx

So, I knew that I was buying a cheap drone off of eBay with a supposed GPS Function. I have found nothing of the sort. RCFPV is okay as in it does the work it needs to do, but it does need some more instructions.

I had no idea that connecting my drone’s 2.4gHz controller would sever the phone controlling aspect of RCFPV .

There is no return home feature and definitely no 360 radial flight. Fun drone if it was used for maybe a 10 year old, but other than that, it was okay between RCFPV and drone.

The intent of my usage was to use this cheap little drone for UAV CQB reconnaissance during my Nerf Wars with my buds, and it will do that.

Only reason I’m giving 3 out of 5 is because of fake advertising of their drone product
features, and because of the severing of the phone controller during remote usage.

Other than that, pretty fun!

by Lovechucho0109!

And i finally was able to link RCFPV with the phone, it doesn't work properly, the controlling system has many issues but at least i got it working

by Jdhdhdjsjbs

When I first got the chance to start trying to connect the drone and fly it, I was able to figure out how to make the drone fly with the remote control, though I couldn’t figure out how to connect my phone to RCFPV . I had the WiFi connected to my phone and it still didn’t work, if you have the same problem go to your settings and scroll down to where you can control yours apps and tell the apps what they have access to. Click on the same app make sure you turn on that the drone is able to have access to your internet. After that you should be able to use the camera on the drone. Though, I still cannot use my phone to control it, the drone it’s self is alright.

by Fly Guy Vroooooom

It works well, connects to my phone but you cannot control it with your phone this was free off temp and it’s better than expected though. Not 5 stars because the camera is crappy and it doesn’t move by itself so yeah. But it is good for the value I got it for which was 0 bucks

by GGGGunit45

I am not one to write a review but after seeing a few bad reviews, I did my homework and found out why my camera was not showing. First, if you got RCFPV because you bought a cheap drone from Temu or someplace similar there is a correct way to connect the drone. First turn on the drone, then the remote that came with it. Once the drone and controller sync, connect to the drone via Wi-Fi(on your phone). Once you’re connected, open RCFPV and you will have your camera and all the features. Failure to follow this set up each time will result in no picture, which is the whole point for RCFPV if you have a controller.

I downloaded this application for my new drone that the instructions called for. Later I tried to wireless play my games, with both the Sony Shockwave 4, and my Steelseries wireless Nimbus controllers and they shut off as soon I connected. They would not connect until I deleted RCFPV . on my iPhone. This happened even with RCFPV . not in use. I did not have RCFPV . On my iPads, just on the IPhone, yet it still effected my iPads; (8th generation) & (10th generation). I’m running iOS 17.0.3 on all 3 devices. Update: OPPS! Unlike my other drone, I went into Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi ! At age 74, at least I’m persistent!

by Churusaa

Headless mode as in it is supposed to orient itself in space and then treat left and right as relative to that position without consideration to which direction the drone “front” is actually pointing. So glad this works well when I have a drone that has all of its functional components installed and working. Pairing wasn’t flawless, but it only took a couple tries before everything worked as intended. All in all I would say RCFPV is fit for purpose and competently designed. Thank you 🙏 my children love this

by Bebebdhdhfh

it was awesome it flew 40 feet in the air
it balanced itself and i saw all videos and pictures so i am pretty impressed 5 STARS

by Shuttle Of Game

One their differences in the drones, but you some how got the same one I did then (how you connected is that the drone connects by is its own Wi-Fi?) So yea when I did that it done.
