Protocol Galileo Stealth Quadcopter Drone Review

The Protocol Galileo Stealth Quadcopter Drone is a big drone with an HD camera setup (1280 x 720 resolution). With a flight time of 7 minutes for every single charge of its 2000mAh lithium polymer battery, the device doesn’t give quite as much time in the air as some other devices, but it can move at a respectable speed of 21 Km/h (or 13mph) and perform some pretty cool tricks.

Our Verdict

From the moment I saw the Protocol Galileo Quadcopter Drone’s huge, understated package, I was impressed. There’s nothing flashy about this. The box has a plain and elegant design that gives the impression that it contains a high-end, professional-grade drone.

Inside a big, opaque plastic clamshell, everything inside the box has its own special location. The device, its 4 legs, and its 4 rotor groups are all mounted in the upper plastic shell individually, and the legs and rotor guards must be attached to the device before it can be used.

By extracting the upper clamshell, you will find the rechargeable battery, its adapter, a unique package with the mini HD camera and its base, a small screw with tiny screws for attaching the legs, and several spare rotors.

Design

Working with Galileo is enjoyable and simple. You could get it moving very fast and set its frequency to its maximum mode before sacrificing anything in terms of protection if you’re after room to fly it in. Low, Medium, and High are the three-speed modes available on Galileo. \

Your maximum speed is only 40% of the drone’s highest capacity on the lowest level. On the Medium level, the top speed is 70% of the maximum. You will exceed Galileo’s top speed (approximately 6.5 km/h or 4 mph) on the High setting.

I put Galileo to the test in a nearby park. I tried it out several times and found that lifting-off and flying were relatively easy, but travelling along the horizontal direction was much more challenging because keeping the directional commands mixed up. Even so, with practice, my flying improved, and it would have managed to improve even more when the maximum travel time wasn’t just a few minutes.

Flight

It was a fascinating experience flying the Galileo Stealth Quadcopter. The findings of this research were indeed a mixed bag, so if you intend on placing an order, mind the warning further down the priority list!! The first thing you’ll notice is that certain assembly is needed until you can begin your first flight.

Both the drone’s legs and prop guards must be secured with extremely small Philips combine the results which never seems to do it that way into their holes without stripping at the head first.

If you’re a seasoned pilot, however, I’d recommend skipping the prop guards entirely. They just add to the weight from an already large drone, and they often just get in the way when performing stunts. The main reason for this is that the guards are not held in place as securely as they should be (since they refuse to go all the way in).

As a result, the guards are just a little loose, and they would hop around from the extent where the propellers would hack them on occasion. In reality, these are some of the props on my sample group cut straight through one of the guards, so I took them all down and never looked back.

Camera Quality

When it comes to the Stealth’s camera, this HD model has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a slim space in the backend for the optional Micro SD card. This chip can store up to 4GB of virtual photos and video files, and a mini USB connector allows you to pass your recordings to almost any device.

You can see both the chip and the USB transfer stick it came with. In terms of video and picture quality, I wouldn’t put it as one of the positive approach cameras I’ve seen, but it’s also not one of the worst.

Although the camera on this drone isn’t up to the task of producing video content, it’s more than adequate for making home videos and taking aerial photographs as a hobby.

Remote Control

The converter seen on the left is often used to power your Galileo. The left and right directional buttons, the On/Off switch (between both the joysticks), the monitor control (somewhere to the right of the upper left joystick), the stunt travelling button (top right section of the device on the outer edge), and the LCD monitor are the key controls you’ll need to know straight away.

The upper left joystick is used to monitor your drone’s lift-off and landing abilities, and also point it in any direction you like. During takeoff, the right-hand side joystick is used to move forwards, reverse, and sideways. At the edge of the device, about midway between both the aerial and the power indicator display, is an oval power indicator display. The converter seen on the left is often used to power your Galileo.

The left and right directional buttons, the On/Off switch (between both the joysticks), the monitor control (somewhere to the right of the upper left joystick), the stunt travelling button (top right section of the device on the outer edge), and the LCD monitor are the key controls you’ll need to know straight away. If you’ve flown other drone drones before, you should have had no trouble picking this one up quickly.

Battery

The Stealth’s device, which is fairly light and also has a variety of specialised controls (one for only doing spins, taking pictures, and starting a tape recording), runs on six AA batteries and is likely a lot more built than the original Galileo’s controller, which has had some of its most important controls unmarked. This controller also includes a mount for holding your phone or another device. A mount is included with this device for carrying your phone and perhaps another electronic gadget. By using Galileo Stealth App, you can live stream the surveillance video that the Stealth Drone is recording in a real-time basis.

Storage

Working with Galileo is enjoyable and easy. You could get it going very quick and adjust its frequency to its maximum mode without sacrificing anything in terms of protection if you’re after room to fly it in. Low, Medium, and High are the three-speed modes available on Galileo.

The maximum altitude is only 40% of the drone’s full efficiency on the lowest level. The maximum speed is 70 per cent of the limit on the Moderate system. On the Large monitor, you can reach Galileo’s top speed (approximately 6.5 km/h or 4 mph). In a nearby park, I put Galileo to the test.

I tried it out several recently and having that deadlifts and floating were relatively easy, but travelling along the horizontal direction was much more challenging because I kept having my directional commands mixed up.

Even so, with practice, my travelling changed and would have enhanced even more when the maximum flying time hadn’t been a few metres. Even so, with practice, my flying changed, but that would have managed to improve even more if the maximum travel time wasn’t only a few minutes.

Pros And Cons

Some of the toy’s best features are the simplest of specifics, such as the possibility that it has three different speed modes.

1. This is ideal for beginner drone pilots like me, as we can start with the drone’s lowest latency and find our way up as our motivation and flying skills improve.
2. Assembly is minor and straightforward, and Galileo’s eye for detail, such as the inclusion of a magnetised screwdriver, makes it even easier.
3. Aside from these features, I adore the mini HD camera and the picture quality it produces.

It’s shockingly hard to come up with a counter-argument to this thing.

1. It takes about 200 minutes i.e. 3 hours of charging time in order to fly 10-12 minutes of your flying time.

Other than this, i can’t come up with any more disadvantages. This was one of the minor problems that you might face.

Final Thought

The decision to purchase the Stealth Drone is based on a variety of factors that only you can assess. It could be worth buying if you have the piloting skills to keep this under complete control and aren’t trying to shoot professional-quality videos and photographs.

Those interested in purchasing a full-sized drone could save their money for something more feature-rich, such as the DJI Phantom 3. While the Phantom 3 is more expensive, you get a lot more bang for your buck on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

The Stealth isn’t a poor drone by any stretch of the imagination. It’s simply not the best option in its size range. However, as long as your standards are reasonable, I believe you will enjoy the Stealth. Good luck and have a pleasant ride!
