The Walkera Scout X4 Drone (BNF Version)

The Walkera Scout X4 drone seems to have an impressive flight time that is double the amount of most drones in the market and can fly for about 25 minutes on a single charge. Being one of its biggest defining features, this RTF uses a 22.2V 5400mAh LiPo battery and is great for shooting beautiful aerial footage or photos while flying a quadcopter that is smooth and easy to adjust to.

Measuring 13.19 x 13.19 x 6.89 inches and weighing 3.9 pounds, the Scout X4 also doesn’t disappoint when it comes to range. With a range of 3,280 feet you can have a lot of fun flying this aerial machine.

You can buy it in 3 color options – pearl white, grey and carbon fiber. Being the BNF version, this drone doesn’t have a stabilization gimbal or a camera included and you can buy those with the ilook+ version or the GoPro version of the drone.

But on the other hand, this version can handle a payload of 14.11 ounces and thus you can easily attach a camera to it. It also comes with retractable landing gear, which most of the time isn’t included with other drones.

The Scout X4 has a built-in GPS that caters to features like flight-planning, return-to-home and automatic landing. It also included a Follow Me mode that allows the drone to hover around you. In the event of a lost signal, the drone is programmed to return to the position it started.

A drawback with buying the BNF version of this drone is that it does not come with a transmitter. Another problem is its warranty period. You get a warranty for only a week and this can be a little inconvenient as drones have a high probability of crashing and getting damaged, and Walkera does not cover accidental damage.
