SG906 pro beast 3+ - Warrington

Hi there fellow dronists, I fly the above drone and it is great, sometimes the APP drops out and I have to keep logging in again, you can’t have perfection I guess unless maybe I get a mortgage for DJI mini !!!
Anyway I noticed when flying the drone it has a ceiling limit of 120m, is this the legal limit? I mean it’s high enough. But I wonder, merely as a technical exercize is there a method I can use to take off this ceiling limit, it would be interesting if I could? Anyway, I think it’s good drone for £150, Iwill be investing in more batteries soon.Got to go the field with at least 3 batteries I guess, I got 2 at present.I need to research the APP more and it’s features like waypoints, so far I only used circle me and RTH and both worked well? How do you guys think this drone compares to say the Hubsan ZIno 2plus, or the DJI mini, it’s got to be close? Thanx for any info [Email removed by Admin]

Not even close, I started with the SG906 Beast. I soon out grew it and got the original DJI Mavic Mini. Believe me they are worlds apart.

Classic case of you get what you pay for. Also far more support for DJI drones as there are just far more people with them to offer help and assistance. Was the best thing I did to move on to a more capable drone, it made the experience far more enjoyable. Oh and welcome where abouts are you in the world? :slightly_smiling_face:

Im in UK wArrington, The Sg906 represents a good mid range drone as an alternative to the DJI mini which many people, including me can barely afford from new>Could go second hand but that can be dodgy!!!
Im sure you agree it’s a good drone, stable, smooth and reliable.I got a 3rd battery coming, should go field with at least 3 batteries!!! Happy flying!! Rob:)

Best have a look here :roll_eyes:

All depends what you want from a drone really, The fun of flying then yeah the SG906 Beast is a whole lot of fun. But if you want to take good photos then its far from any good. So literally all depends what you want to use it for. :+1:t2:
