I happened to see a drone being sold at a low price on AliExpress.
Since I had never controlled a drone before, I wanted to buy one and learn.
And dual cameras…? I couldn’t resist.
The drone I ordered arrived.
It seems it took about a week for the drone to arrive.
The case looked decent.
They said it had an 8K camera, but I guess 8K is just the camera’s name.
The camera and body were unbelievably shoddy.
The manual described how to use it.
It said that if you open the app and connect via Wi‑Fi, you can control the drone with your phone.
When I checked the charging port on the drone, it was Micro USB (5‑pin).
Major deduction right there.
Following the manual led me to the site below.
What’s with that tiny ad at the top?
The sucker paying to watch ads was me.
Anyway, I went into the application.
The name is WiFi_CAM, and from the name and the look of it, it already seems sketchy.
The UI of the app is shown below, and what really gets on my nerves is that the background isn’t a live camera feed, it’s just a photo.
Anyway, I turned on the drone and tried to operate it, but it wouldn’t work.
The camera was completely dead, and it couldn’t even hover properly.
Of all the AliExpress stuff I’ve bought so far, this was by far the worst.
Other things were crude but you could at least nod along given the price, or when they were expensive, they delivered quality. This thing was nothing.
I immediately returned it, thinking I’d just bought 15,000 won worth of trash.
The return process went quite quickly.
As soon as I requested a return, a courier came to my house to pick it up.
And I decided never to buy a drone from AliExpress again.
Seriously, don’t buy it.
