Our flight team also found that the trims for the drone constantly needed to be adjusted. On a more expensive or higher quality drone you wouldn’t have to do this as often. In fact the auto flip feature is the only feature that worked flawlessly every time and provided the most enjoyment.Īnother challenge with the SNAPTAIN is that before every flight it needs to be paired to the controller by pulling the joysticks down and up until you hear a beep. The problem is these features don’t always work properly, if at all. The extra options of the SNAPTAIN like headless mode, which allows you to fly the drone using your position instead of the drone’s, and auto takeoff and auto return were super helpful for our first time pilots. Since the SNAPTAIN H823H is geared toward beginners, I recruited two young hotshot test pilots, aged 5 and 7, to help put the drone through its paces. It’s very easy to lose these tiny prop screws and it’s pretty difficult to work the old prop off for replacement, but with patience it can be done. After the screws are removed using the included screwdriver, the cover can be pulled back enough to allow for propeller replacement. Three tiny screws have to be removed for each propeller to be replaced. This can be a bit of a challenge due to the propeller cover. The only other maintenance for the SNAPTAIN, besides battery charging, is propeller replacement. The batteries are charged via the included USB cables which plug into any standard USB power block or charger. The drone’s LiPo battery can be removed by unplugging the power plug and sliding the battery out of the holder. Out of the box though all of the drone’s batteries should be charged and three AAA batteries need to be inserted into the controller. Luckily there’s no assembly for the SNAPTAIN H823H and one of the LiPo batteries comes pre-installed in the unit.
The controller takes three AAA batteries and the battery compartment can be accessed by removing a screw on the rear of the controller. There are shoulder buttons for automated functions, buttons to adjust flight trim, clickable flight sticks, and an on/off switch with a LED power indicator. SNAPTAIN manages to get a good number of buttons and controls on to the tiny surface of the controller.
#SNAPTAIN DRONE H823H INSTRUCTIONS CRACK#
The controller is plastic and mini-sized which is great for tiny hands and was appreciated by my crack team of test pilots. However, since the drone does not have GPS, it only returns to you in an imaginary straight line unfortunately, an exact return to the starting position, as known from expensive camera drones, is not possible.ĭepending on your own skills, you can control the Snaptain H823H in one of the three available speed levels, which you can switch between by pressing the left control joystick.Ī very handy feature is that the drone warns you acoustically when the battery level is too low, signaling that you should prepare to land.The SNAPTAIN’s LiPo battery sits underneath the unit and is held in place by two brackets and the power plug itself. Takeoff and landing work quite easily with the push of a button and even a Return to Home mode is available. The four cages around the rotors protect bystanders from injuries in case of contact with the drone and also the drone itself is protected from damages in case of collisions with walls or furniture.Ī bright LED light on the front ensures good visibility of the drone.
Due to the low weight as well as the stable propeller protection, the Snaptain H823H is not only suitable for adults, but also as a drone for kids from about 6 years.
