Review: Force1 RC X5UW Thunderbolt Wi-Fi FPV Drone
I’ve been on the hunt for a drone for a while now, but I wasn’t quite sure to get. When I started researching different drones I got a bit overwhelmed. I was pleasantly surprised when I started to read the reviews on this drone. They were really good, and on a whim I decided to order it. For $129.90, it is a mid priced drone, but I wasn’t looking to spend any more money than that. Right from the box, I could tell that this product was made well. The different parts on the drone felt like they were made pretty sturdy. I was expecting it to feel like a toy helicopter, but it is far from that. The pieces feel like they could take a little bruising, so that made me feel relieved. I have been pretty happy with this drone.
Best Features
I am a complete beginner when it comes to flying drones, so the one key take off was really important to me. I worried about crashing when it came to take off and landing, so this drone saved me in that department. I love showing off to my kids with the one touch 360 flip. It makes me look much more advanced than I am. The altitude hold is fabulous for getting a good picture, and it is very easy to fly. I think this drone is perfect for beginners, and the camera is amazing. I have never seen an aerial view of our house before, but now I have! It is incredible.

Pros
This drone comes ready to fly right out of the box. I love that it comes with extra propellers incase something bad happens to them. While I try to fly safe, you never know when you might crash. The camera is really clear, and the video it takes is fun to watch over again. It doesn’t take too long to charge, and it comes with lights so you can fly at nighttime and still see where your drone is when you are flying. You can also create your own route and the drone will fly it for you.
Cons
Only con is that you’re supposed to have a cool down period between the different batteries.
Honestly, I am really happy with my purchase. I think it is awesome, and my kids agree with me. For just over $100, I would totally purchase it again. If you’re looking for a drone with a great camera and price, this is the one for you.
