Review
Drones combine high flying remote control fun with video recording and streaming capabilities.
All drones work basically the same way. They have 3 or more rotors which act much like a helicopter’s propellers to keep the device flying.
Some type of camera is built-in, or can be attached.
Through the use of a wireless remote control, you can perform tricks with drones and/or use them for video surveillance, all the time recording video and snapshots.
What sets this particular 4 rotor item apart from similar products, and the reason why it has made multiple holiday hot toy lists, is that it offers some really nice features that are generally found on higher end drones.
First off, the camera on board the Helix Sentinel Drone records in 720p high definition. A view of up to 120 degrees is captured with the wide-angle camera lens, and Wi-Fi streaming capabilities are possible.
The majority of drones in this price range do not include a storage card.
However, this drone, which flies safely and effectively indoors and out, includes a 4 GB microSD card for video storage.
Also, you have the capability of live streaming video to up to 2 smart phones, tablets or other smart devices at the same time.
With height lock stabilization, obstacle avoidance and a remote-control experience that makes flying simple even for the beginner, the Helix Sentinel Drone has a lot going for it.
When you add the fact that goggles are included so you can see the world through the eyes of your flying drone, the already friendly price tag looks even better still.
