Raptor Eye – 720p Video Drone Review By Brad

G’day Brad

On 28 April 2017, I bought myself a Raptor eye quadcopter from JB Hi-Fi, for the special price of $69-00.
On 4 May 2017, after about 30 minutes total flying time (four battery charges), the machine developed lazy rotor syndrome. One of the four rotors remained stationary when I attempted to take off. If I gave the lazy rotor a flick with my finger it would start, but that rotor was down on speed and the quadcopter was unstable in flight.
On 5 May 2017, I took it back to JB hi-fi with a complaint and they exchanged it for a new machine without fuss. It worked well and I could keep it in stable flight until the battery charge ran out. Over several battery charges, I accumulated about 30 to 40 minutes flight time.

On 7 May, the new copter developed the same lazy rotor syndrome as the previous machine. I could flick start the rotor, but again it was incapable of stable flight. both machines were handed to me in sealed boxes, so I fear that the problem is one of design.

You had one for a month. How much flying time did you accumulate and did you experience any problems?

Do Raptor Eye have a tech support department? Where can I get advice to fix and avoid the lazy rotor problem?

Cheers,
