TLDR Review: Contixo F21 Pro Drone
Pros
- •GPS connection takes a little warp time initially but speeds up with practice, making navigation smoother.
- •Orbit mode is a standout feature, allowing the drone to circle a point of interest while keeping the camera focused—a lot of fun for creative shots.
- •Follow Me and Tracking modes work reasonably well, enabling the drone to keep the subject in frame; great for handree filming, though Follow Me performs best at higher altitudes and calmer winds.
- •Headless mode simplifies flying by aligning controls to the pilot’s perspective rather than the drone’s orientation, perfect for beginners.
- •Auto takeoff and landing are reliable, with Return to Home functionality as a handy safety net (though manual landing is still recommended).
- •The dual camera setup impresses, featuring a fisheye lens on an adjustable gimbal plus reaime phone viewing for framing shots.
- •Media saving options allow capture to both the phone and a micro SD card, with SD card files offering better quality and larger storage.
- •Durable and easy to maneuver, the drone offers good value for recreational users and beginners venturing into drone photography.
- •The 3inute flight time combined with two included batteries stretches flying sessions nicely without frequent recharging.
Cons
- •Customer service experience is very poor, with many reports of unresponsiveness and failure to honor the ear limited replacement warranty.
- •The manufacturer has a widely criticized reputation for lack of support, leaving users feeling abandoned if issues arise.
- •Initial GPS lock can be a bit slow and may frustrate impatience on the first flights.
- •Follow Me mode requires precise setup and may underperform in windy conditions or when flying near obstacles.
- •Landing is slow and cautious, which some pilots might find tedious after multiple flights.
- •There’s a need to avoid takeoff/landing on sand or rough terrain to prevent damage to motors or the camera—limits some outdoor environments.
- •Return to Home works but is better as a backup; manual control on landing is still preferred for safety.
Bottom Line
The *Contixo F21 Pro Drone* offers an impressive feature set—dual cameras, 30 minutes of flight time, obstacle avoidance, and user-friendly modes—that make it especially appealing to beginners or recreational flyers eager to explore drone photography without breaking the bank. However, beware of the manufacturer’s poor customer service track record which could leave you stranded if technical issues arise. If responsive support and a more polished user experience are priorities for you, it may be worth considering other models with stronger brand reputations. Otherwise, this drone packs solid capabilities and flight time at a good price point for casual use.
