The pilot can tilt the camera through the controller. Even during turns and other aerial maneuvers the gimbal stabilizes footage without any problem.

This camera enables you to record video of all your aerial adventures with enhanced details. The Xplorer V features an all-in-one HD camera mounted on a 3-axis gimbal. However, for capturing good quality footage without any hassle this operating range is still enough. This is slightly less than other drone within same price range. You can operate the Xplorer V up to 500 meters away from you. The maximum operating range is a somewhat negative aspect of this drone. The controller also has three flight levels and three features buttons (a return-home-button, an IOC button and an automatic takeoff and landing button at the bottom-mid part of the remote controller). This is amazing feature for aerial photography and videography. You can actually tilt and angle the external device on the controller without reducing the flight performance or obstructing the signal. This feature allows the pilot to place its Smartphone and provide a better flight experience. The remote controller includes a phone holder. This truly enhances the flight experience. The controller has surprisingly comfortable tactile silicon and vibration alert that warns every time the drone is running low on battery. It also has a lean curve at the back to ease joint and hand stress after prolonged usage. This is not your typical drone flight controller as it has an ergonomic shape, with nice comfortable textures. The Xiro Xplorer V comes with the Xiro radio controller that has excellent grip. This feature is very useful because you don’t have to keep track of more than one charger. This battery can be charged from the same charger as the drone battery. The Xiro Xplorer V comes with a controller with a built in battery. It is recommended to let the motors of the drone cool off between battery exchanges because you may damage the motors if you switch batteries and resume fly right away. This will help you determine if you need to recharge the battery or if you can fly the drone. You take the battery out of the drone, push the green button on the side and wait for the small LED lights that indicate what charge the battery is currently holding to turn on. The great thing about this battery is the fact that you can actually check the battery charge before you fly the drone.

The flight time also depends on flight conditions. Keep in mind that the flight time will decrease as you add additional weight. If you wish to fly during more than 25 minutes you can always buy an extra battery. The Xiro Xplorer is equipped with a powerful 11.1V 5200mAh Li-Po 3S battery and has a flight time of about 25 minutes. Thanks to the Xplorer’s innovative modular system all these components are easily replaceable. The four props and rotary motors, flight battery, and flight control module are additional modular components. The gimbal is part of the Xplorer’s modular design and if you want to fly the drone around without the camera unit attached it can be removed. However, the propellers are the cheapest spare parts on the market so this is not such a big problem. It is important to note that it lacks propeller guards. The Xplorer V is right up there with some of the most resilient drones on the market when it comes to durability. This highly resistant material will endure most crashes and hits and ensure the drone doesn’t break or bend easily. This is one of the strongest types of materials used on drones. The second thing is a sturdy and secure structure that allows the drone to keep a stiff frame and balance itself out when it encounters turbulent weather conditions. The design is very sharp and allows the drone to literally slice through side winds and gusts of airs. The design is very smart from a functionality point of view. It has four rotors and the standard lights underneath each of its four arms. This futuristic design truly makes XPLORER V stand out from the rest. The aircraft is finished in black and green. You may also require additional components, like additional flight batteries and a mobile device to access the application.Īs mentioned in the introduction of this review, the Xplorer V has already won two Design awards in the past and it is considered by many to be one of the better-looking drones currently available in the market. This means that the basics to get you in the air are included. The Xiro Xplorer V is a “ready-to-fly” drone.
