I happened to see a drone being sold at a cheap price on AliExpress.
Since I’d never flown a drone before, I wanted to buy one and learn.
And on top of that, dual cameras…? I couldn’t resist.
The drone I bought finally arrived.
It took about a week for the drone to arrive.
The case looked decent enough.
They said it had an 8K camera, but I guess that’s just the name of the camera.
The camera and the body were unbelievably shoddy.
The manual had instructions on how to use it.
It said you can even control the drone with your phone by turning on the app and connecting via Wi‑Fi.
When I checked the drone’s charging port, it was Micro USB (5‑pin).
Major deduction of points right there.
Following the manual’s instructions, I went to the site and this is what came up.
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 both the name and the look of it are shady.
The layout of the app is shown below, and what really ticks me off is that the background isn’t the live camera feed, it’s just a picture.
Anyway, I turned on the drone and tried to get it working, but it wouldn’t.
The camera didn’t respond at all, and it couldn’t even hover properly.
Out of everything I’ve ever bought from AliExpress, this was by far the worst.
Other stuff was cheap and flimsy, but the price made sense, or if it was expensive, the quality matched. This one was just nothing.
I felt like I’d just bought a 15,000‑won piece of trash and returned it right away.
The return process went pretty quickly.
As soon as I requested a return, the courier came to my house to pick it up.
And I decided I would never buy a drone from AliExpress again.
Just don’t buy one. Ever.
