New SPY DRONE HELI is back with Artificial Intelligence - Review of C127AI

[Music] you're crazy [Music] hey everyone welcome to the captain drone YouTube channel my name is Steve and I am a drone pilot but my fingers are pointy to something that does not look like a drone well actually the media would call it a drone because it is used in Wartime this is a representation of the real spy heli that costs an awful lot of money probably more than most houses on the market today however this costs very little and the reason it costs very little is because it's for amusement for fun for yourself to have fun flying around your backyard in your house or at a park it does have a camera on it it does have Optical flow it can be flown by beginners it comes with its own remote now for many of you watching this video You're gonna say hey I saw that heli before you reviewed it a year ago and yes I did I reviewed the eishine e110 version this is not that version this is the new and improved version this is the version with artificial intelligence and you're saying artificial intelligence is it gonna like take over the world well no it has the ability to identify humans vehicles and other objects and yes it actually works now let me just tell you about it quickly before we take it for an indoor flight than outdoor flight so the previous version had a 720p camera up front this one apparently has a 1080p camera and it also has image stabilization when you put on the image stabilization it zooms in you get less of that side to side jerkiness but it's a zoomed in view so I don't know if you'll like it the field of view on the camera on here is 120 degrees which makes it much nicer for fpv flying just like the previous version there is Optical flow on the bottom like the previous version the batteries that come with this are proprietary but they do give you 15 minutes of flight time and they're very simple to charge up just a USB charger down here just like the previous version it has altitude hold so beginners flying this when you raise it to a certain level it stays at that level and all you have to worry about is moving it forwards backwards or side to side very easy for beginners to fly I'm guessing with the previous version a lot of owners complain that the range wasn't very good the range in the previous version was 150 meters so they added 100 more meters so now you get 250 meters of range and that is why you have this massive antenna I don't know if you can see it here hanging off the back this big thing that comes down so that will send your video signal everything also you get a brand new remote they do say there's brushless motors in this one but I can already tell the tail motor is a brush to motor so this motor must be brushless I can also tell that this version is much more powerful than the last version because I've flown this and it just takes off on you if you're not careful they also say you can fly this in 15 to 20 knot winds I don't know it's not windy today so I really can't show you that the weird thing is they say you can fly this in light rain so there must be something the way the electronics are they're covered up nicely so the rain doesn't bother it I don't know why any company would say that because you're going to try it right and then when it doesn't work anymore you're going to say hey the rain killed it and they're gonna say well you shouldn't have flown in the rain but you said we could fly it in light rain well we didn't really specify exactly what is light rain and finally let me tell you about the the tracking so the tracking has what I can see like three modes there is one mode where you can identify objects like you don't identify it this identifies the objects and actually puts a name like person car or whatever it identifies them and it it puts a box around them so when I first saw that I thought I could tap on that box and then it would track that item it doesn't track it that way then it's got another mode where it will show you how it's identifying something with the stick figure so you will see a skeleton design of exactly what it is tracking and when I say tracking tracking is in the AI but the helicopter doesn't track it you still have full control on your remote then there's another version where it says it's supposed to go into tracking when you switch to that version all of a sudden it gives you full control on your phone but only if you're not connected to your remote does that sound confusing so in other words you would have to turn this off set everything up to fly only with your phone and then the tracking should work I tried that the problem is when you do that this thing takes off like a bat out of hell because you're trying to move your little joysticks on your screen and yeah it's not very conducive anyways enough of me talking I think you're gonna like this heli let me take it for an indoor flight then an outdoor flight and show you how everything works here we go all right let's go for our very first flight power on the remote there we go you will see that this light blinks that is because it's not connected to anything we have to power this on and then connect these two together to power on the heli just press the button in the forward section you will see the lights press it twice and you will see the lights come to life and you will see the blinking happening there we go that means it's not connected to connect this remote and this drone simply move this joystick up and down and there we go light stops we are connected now before your first flight make sure your Optical flow is clean no dirt on it and also make sure that you set your camera angle to the angle you wish do you want to look down that means you're going to fly high or you can have it look up a bit well that's way too much but what I do is you see how this is angled here this has got an angle I put the camera in line with that angle and that seems to be perfect for most flights and of course make sure your camera lens is all clear of fingerprints or anything else or else your image won't look that great now you can fly it just as it is without a phone and just fly it line of sight but if you wish to record the video off the camera or take photos or use the features you have to use the app so in order to use the app you have to connect your phone's Wi-Fi to the heli so on an iPhone you pull down on the right hand side take your finger press it on the Wi-Fi then you'll see all the Wi-Fi in your local area look for the one that says spy heli and select that one there we go so now this and this will be connected and I'll show you how you know that now you will need a special app and you can download it from any of the stores on Android as well as apple and the app is called let's go all the way over right here Sentry AI tap on that and the important thing is to look up here in the corner see this if you do not see this this is the Wi-Fi you're connected to so you have to see that and then you know it works and then hit the start button and then I see what the camera sees up front and we're all set to go now take your phone place it in the holder there we are and we're ready to fly First Flight just make sure your props are out because they're going to spin up I'm just going to turn this and face the direction of flight and we should be good to go well actually I'll just put it like that so you see it on an angle now before your first flight what you want to do is do a gyro calibration so watch this I'm going to pull these joysticks down into the left and we are done there we go this is all level it's ready for takeoff this should cause the heli not to drift to the right left front or back it should stay stable over here you have a takeoff and land button so if you press that it will take off and shoot up but if you look all the way up I'm just going to smash into my little lights so I'm not going to do that I'm going to take the two joysticks pull down and out but before I do that I'm going to turn on the record joysticks down and out and then push the left joystick to go up there we go I'm going between the chairs and we'll take it over this way I've got the speed on slow so that it's nice for indoors if you increase the speed to fast it just means it's going to turn quicker with your joystick movements and you don't want that indoors because you'll fly into a wall so you should see the video coming out of the camera in the front as well as from my hat cam me just walking behind the heli I'm just showing you how easy it is to fly inside it does have altitude hold so with altitude hold it just stays at whatever height you left it at now to land it you can land It Yourself by holding down the left joystick or press the land button I'm so low to the ground I'm just going to pull down the left joystick and coming down and it should power off if ever your heli lands and it doesn't power off over here as you're holding down the left joystick you see you have a little button it says hold me down for three seconds and I will stop and that's all you do press that and the motors will stop we're outside ready for the outdoor flight once again let's do calibration before we take off there we go and let's go up in the air now this time I'm going to use the take off button since we're outside and there's nothing to hit so just press once it'll go up by itself there we go and now it should sit there in the air with the optical flow and I should be able to move around it but what I'm going to do is because I want to keep this video not too long is I'm going to take it out here in my backyard so if you look at the recording this is the recording that it's giving so there's me it doesn't bounce around as much you can turn on image stabilization I'll show you that right now on my screen if you go to the top right I'll touch that and you can see you have all your settings and go down and you will find oop go to detection and then go down to image stabilization which is here on the bottom you see it zooms into me so I can get my head down so that's supposed to be stabilized image I don't know still moves around but what do you expect it's not an expensive heli it's more for fun than anything else all right let's take off the image stabilization now let me show you the other features really quick so if you look at my phone screen if I go to the top left there's a little picture of a human click that it's going to identify things see it found me already identifies me with the green box and if I move around the Box follows and I can go wherever I want the problem is the heli doesn't follow me so I can go all over the place but the heli just stays there so watch if I I can walk right out of frame and gone it did not follow me at all now you can do another thing and you have a little picture of a dog bone that dog bone gives me a wire frame there we go come closer see I'm a wire frame now is that the coolest thing ever it's just for fun it's not for anything else so if you're tracking a car a bicycle whatever you're tracking this is what you're gonna get I'll get down there so that's how it sees me they tell you the follow me mode is this you ready I'm going to show you so if I go over to my screen and click the bottom one now you see those joysticks that's so I can fly it without my remote but you have to power on the heli and your phone and not the remote to get it to work in that mode and apparently then you can draw a boxer on yourself there's a box and then it will track you I tried it once and the heli just took off because it's very hard to control with the joysticks so right now if I click on the top right I can go to detection and you see right now it says it will detect humans and vehicles and guideboard you can click on other watch what happens when I do other it detects almost everything at least it was detecting boxes and all sorts of stuff in my backyard let me see how flight forward it will detect all sorts of things around my house there we go it's going to detect the box that we put the lawn furniture in and there's the barbecue and it starts to detect other things except it can't identify them so at the top it just shows you it's it's other for the identification of objects okay so in the backyard I can't do much let me take it in my front yard and I'll show you how fast it goes and the range and a few other things okay I'm in my front yard let's take it for a flight now one thing to point out there is a lot of interference from Wi-Fi in this area and this is a Wi-Fi drone so I'm not sure how the reception is going to do but we're about to find out I'm going to put it on identify objects and let's take it up I'm going to take it up manually joysticks down and out oh before I do that let me hit the stop button here I'm just showing you I'm hitting the stop hold it down for three seconds and I forgot to do the gyro calibration always do that there we go trust me on that if you don't do the gyro calibration it might drift certainly you can adjust the little trim controls but it's better to do the gyro calibration it doesn't identify any objects right now it says zero people zero cars but let me just turn it into the sun over at the road now you see all the cars across the street it's identifying them there we go so it does work really well and they're pretty far away let's go look at the car of my neighbor's house here there's a car over there so it sees that take it away up sees all those cars so it's identifying all sorts of things down the road and look at the top of the screen it tells you how many cars it's identifying how many humans very easy to fly I can fly up and down the road I am flying at line of sight because my iPhone is uh making the screen go black because it's so hot out today and iPhones hate that so let's see if I can get the range to go right to the end of the road it is Wi-Fi there's a lot of interference here so video reception is getting choppy but it's still going still recording all right let's bring it back to me it goes so fast so once again design more for entertainment purposes than it is for the actual camera and the spying on people and stuff like that because honestly if this was going to spy on people it would be silent you wouldn't hear anything you can hear how loud it is it's not super loud there you go [Applause] I brought it right by my mic there that's it that's the sound from it not super loud I'm sure if there was ambient sounds around people probably wouldn't even notice it so if I had to put this on a level from 0 to 10 for beginners with zero being the easiest to fly I'd say it's a level one to fly for beginners just make sure you do that gyro calibration or else it's going to go sideways on you and you're going to get all confused hardest thing beginners are going to have is doing what I'm doing here is just learning the orientation see I'm doing little circles so a beginner would have difficulty doing that because as soon as it's coming at you the joysticks are reversed there we are but for somebody who's been flying drones or anything like that it makes perfect sense put it on photo and take a photo picture has been saved so you can see it's detecting cars and stuff like that I'll do another photo picture has been saved that's good and let's take all the detection stuff off and take a photo all right so let's bring this guy back coming down and I will hit the Lan button on here there's a little Landing button right over here I'll hit it and it should automatically go down and land and bounce and land and bounce oh well I think it doesn't know it's on the ground because my driveway is sloped so here's that thing I mentioned if the props don't turn off like you hit land just hit this button here this is the stop hold it for three seconds there we go she stops and of course I scratch up the props but I will say one thing I have flown this and crashed this many times already uh when I was learning how to use it and it survived it keeps on working so for the ability to retain its composure and not break into a million pieces it gets a thumbs up from me on that but I'm sure if I went full speed into my driveway like this I'd probably break something next thing I want to show you is which you get in the box if you buy this heli check it out this is the box your spy drone heli comes in inside the box you'll find your heli the transmitter and accessories first item is the instruction manual followed by the heli itself and you'll note that the hell he does have Optical flow as well as a very long antenna so that it remains connected to the transmitter the tail motor is a brushed motor but apparently the main rotor is a brushless motor and speaking of the motors you do get spare blades for the main rotor as well as the tail rotor you can order this product with one two or three batteries each battery is charged by a USB cable to give you 15 minutes of flight time and the USB cable is included the remaining power of each battery is indicated by a series of Lights total weight of your spy drone heli is only 79 grams with battery included with the heli is a transmitter on the top left this is where you select your speeds you have three of them on the top right is your stop the motors button on the lower section would be your take off and Landing Button as well as your starter video and take a photo button the transmitter is powered by four double a batteries not included a cell phone holder is provided simply slide it onto your transmitter and you're all set alright back to me what are my final thoughts on this new version of the heli with AI I would say if you have the previous version which has the 720p camera which doesn't have ai then you really don't need to upgrade to this version yet if the AI gets better right now they're on version one in the software if it gets better and it can track you then I would say it'd be good but the tracking as I mentioned you have to fly it without this and fly it with just your phone and then select yourself and then it can track you except you have to be in a Big Field because this might go Haywire go zooming someplace else because it's very hard to control it with the little joysticks on your phone I do find it flies pretty much the same as the previous version although it's a little quicker I find it's a little bit more spunky and moves altitude hold and everything else is pretty much the same as previous versions flight time 15 minutes still the same so overall it's a really fun heli but just for entertainment purposes don't think you're going to be the next Steven Spielberg using this heli nope and don't think you're going to be able to spy on your neighbors well you probably could if they're deaf and they don't hear it coming but I would say overall it's for entertainment purposes and I think it would make a really good gift for somebody especially at Christmas time because if you get this at Christmas no matter what age you are open it up you can fly at the same day in the house as well as go outside and fly it even if there's snow on the ground no problem all right so I'm going to put links to this product below you can go check it out it's not super expensive because because as I say it is designed for entertainment purposes and I have like mosquitoes and flies all out here so I gotta go inside all right guys thanks for watching this video if you have questions on this product just post them below if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up if you check below to buy this there's probably one of my discount codes so you actually save some dollars buying it at the link below so go check that out all right catch you in the next video bye [Music] I painted Skies [Music]
