Drone Design and Features

The Visuo XS812 is a foldable drone. It has black color and gold patterns which gives it a sleek appearance. It is a lightweight drone, weighs around 200 grams and it has a flat design. It has a solid, compact design which makes it easy to transport for users who are always traveling. The drone is equipped with a 1080p HD camera and can be adjusted 45 degrees. It has 4 brushed motors, which is understandable for the drone’s price range. It also comes with dual GPS that offers better flight stability and precise location for the drone.

This feature is important for new users so they will not lose sight of their drone. Big LED lights are equipped underneath the rotor arms. These lights make night time flying easy and indicate the drone’s compass is calibrated properly.

The video quality of the camera is not the best so you must not expect amazing results. The camera is capable of recording 1920 x 1080 at 25 fps and it will occupy around 40 MB space on the camera’s SD card.

The drone has the same Wi-Fi FPV range as its control range, which is around 200 meters. You can enjoy live stream video and it is compatible with smartphones with 5G Wi-Fi.

The Visuo XS812 is a large controller but feels comfortable when being held. The buttons are easy to use and the control sticks are easy to reach. It has the black color and gold pattern the same as the drone and it has a separate smartphone holder than can be attached on its back. The controller is powered by 4 AAA batteries but is not included in the package.

XSW UFO APP

This App is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones. It has a user-friendly interface and it is updated regularly. You can use this app so it can extend the functionality of the remote controller. It can provide FPV functionality, Follow Me, Waypoint, and it also provides telemetry information. On the top of the screen, it shows an OSD status bar that shows the following: Speed, distance, altitude, number of satellites available, roll/pitch/yaw values, and battery level.

Flight Modes

  1. Follow Me – This mode allows the drone to lock onto the smartphone and follow you wherever you go.
  2. One Key Return – This mode can be activated on the remote controller or the app. You just have to push the return home button and the drone will return automatically. This prevents losing the drone midflight especially when it loses signal or the battery becomes too low.

User Reviews

According to David, this drone is quite affordable and comes with great features. It has a decent flying time; I just wish the battery of the remote controller is rechargeable. It is lightweight and has a compact design, making it easy to transport whenever you have to travel to different places. It has a 1080p resolution camera and compatible with the Micro SD card. It has a return to home button that prevents your drone from getting lost when the signal gets cut off or when the battery is too low.

According to Mark, the Visuo XS812 is a great beginner drone. It is low-cost but comes with cool features such as return home feature, headless mode, etc. When getting an SD card, do not get a card with a capacity bigger than 32 GB because it will not work. I used the remote controller and the app, I love its user-friendly interface and I was able to use the FPV mode. I just wish it has brushless motors and mechanical gimbal for image stabilization.
