I got my X7 Ranger Plus January 2024. Was super excited to get a new drone that didn't have issues, made or at least put together in the US. Well unfortunately the challenges/quirks started out of the box. The batteries never fully charged no matter how long they were left on the charger, the light just kept blinking, but I lived with it, they still gave me enough flight time to do what I needed. Then another problem popped up with it losing connection to my phone, no wifi connection, no camera, no camera, no pictures. Now today I'm flying my drone and everything is going fine and then the "whirring" stops, I think to myself thats odd I should hear the motors and blades whirring, I look up and I see it dropping out of the sky, CRASH onto the roof I was inspecting. So I go to try and contact EXO and none of the pages for contacting the company will load. No email or phone contact. If I crashed it and broke it thats on me, but the thing just DROPPED out of the sky, no warning nothing. I hope maybe this review will get someones attention at EXO.

Bought this red drone for my wife and even though our first fly day was a bust due to the drone would not take off, the second day was better since we got it in the air. The drone handles pretty good in the air, but wind gusts of 10mph seem to hamper the flight a little. The major ick, is the camera. Way too much pixilation when flying around. I'm not even shooting videos, yet just when flying around, the camera seems to always be "catching up" with the environment.

Good beginner drone for the wife, maybe the BH3Pro when she gets more into it like myself.

I will say though, email response from the EXO team is top-notch, so that's a good thing.

Review of Exo X7 Ranger plus;

First: drone is sturdy and well built. I especially like that armature shaft protrudes thru center of propeller hub and bottom of hub fits neatly on top of rotating housing. Big plus, but you do have pry Gently to remove prop.

Camera / gimbal cover a little tricky to remove as is the Obstacle avoidance cover. But once removed, OA is securely in place. I’ve been flying for 4 years, over 30 hours flying, 170 plus flights. I’m being honest here; the 3rd party software, firmware and app really has room for improvement. It took me considerable time to get comfortable with the preflight process. Other software/apps has been more user friendly.

Unfortunately my unit had a manufacturing glitch. I will commend the support team for quickly replying to my many emails suggesting and assisting in trial and error to resolve the problem, after many attempts and solutions approaches. Which didn’t resolve the issue.. They graciously sent a replacement. Which BTW is A Ok.

I’ve read many reviews, many which have negative remarks; quite the opposite in my dealings with the. Support Team. They have been extremely cooperative. Atta Boys to the Team.

Tks. RedBaron

Not sure if anyone experienced the same

But my unit was very slow to the remote command

Landing was rough compared to to the dji

It would move by itself on take off

Maybe I had a defective unit

I had to return it

Going back to Dji sorry
