Our Verdict
- C-me flying camera is the ultimate flying “selfie stick” for capturing life’s...
- Anyone can fly it: intuitive app control takes only minutes to master and seamlessly...
- Fits easily in a pocket, purse or backpack and is ready to shoot at a moment’s...
But at the same time, the price is low. One must not expect too much at such a price. Overall, if one just wants to have fun with it and not engage in drone photography, then it isn’t a bad choice. It is for amateurs. It is really not fit for anyone thinking about doing something professionally with it.
Design
Its dimensions are 2.52 x 4.8 x 6.23 inches. It weighs around 8 ounces. It is black in colour. It is designed in a way to ensure that it is very small and can even be carried anywhere in your pocket. Yes, You read it right. IN YOUR POCKET! It is extremely light which also adds to its mobility feature.
It is designed to ensure quick and easy access to all the photos clicked. It is durable and quite a good catch at the given price.
Flight
Having a GPS drone is very good for the user. The GPS ensures that the drone remains stable mid-flight. Stability is extremely important to get the pictures for which one has bought the drone. But the GPS in this drone has a low range and so hinders its performance. It only has about 50-100m of Wi-Fi range. It is a very small drone and so the carrying load isn’t exactly what it is built for.
This drone is equipped with both autopilot and auto-landing which makes things very easy for its user. Moreover, it also has a return to home and follows me feature. Both of these features are extremely helpful in case of any setback. The follow-me feature ensures that we are in the picture.
It also has a circle around me feature. All these features together provide the user with a safe and hassle-free experience during the flight. All this is possible because of its GPS integration.
Camera Quality
It comes with an 8 MP, 1080 p camera. Plus, it has a built-in LED flash. To make things easier, it provides us with the option of 3,5,10 and 15 image bursts. It also provides image stabilization. The camera is quite good for the price we buy this drone in. Like most drones, it also has a 360° panoramic view. This drone has too much to offer us along with its 1080 p camera.
Remote Control
The C-me GPS Drone can be easily controlled through our smartphone itself. All you need to do is download the app and then connect with the drone’s Wi-Fi. The app is quite well built and allows us to set almost everything. The photos and videos also get instantly transferred to the phone. It is quite easy to use the phone as a remote control. The drone can fly through the joystick which appears on the phone’s screen.
Battery
For any drone, battery life is a very important factor. The main purpose of a drone is to get the perfect shot and sometimes that shot might take a lot of time. This drone has 10 minutes of battery life which is very good. Any customer must expect the same in this price range.
10 minutes is quite a good time for any drone to get all that you need. For most of the customers, the flying time after a full charge for this drone has been eight to ten minutes. It has an internal battery just like the one in the smartphones we use. It can easily be charged with the help of a cord and adaptor.
Storage
Since the C-me GPS Drone is a selfie stick, quick access to the photos is of primary importance. So, the photos and videos taken by this drone get stored easily in the phone to which its Wi-Fi is connected. You can directly share them on any of the social media platforms. It’s a quick and easy process. All the wait that one had to endure to get to see their photos is a thing of the past with this drone.
Pros And Cons
Pros
- It comes with a lot of flight features like follow me, circle around me, autopilot etc.
- It has an excellent camera at the given price. The 8 MP, 1080p camera ensures we get the best pictures.
- Its price is extremely low.
Cons
- The battery isn’t replaceable and so the user has to charge it again and again instead of just changing the batteries.
- It has a low range because of which most of its GPS features lose their effectiveness.
Final Thought
The C-me is full of different features but it lags behind in maintaining those features accuracy. It is not what it claims to be. The hype that its concept created has been long eroded due to its performance. But nothing more should be expected at such a low price. The camera quality is still very good and it can perform all the basic functions. It’s perfect for those who just want to have fun.
