Review: LEAVES KING KF102 GPS Drone

In case you are looking for a Mavic Air 2 alternative under $200, the LEAVES KING KF102 looks pretty convincing, at least on paper. It follows DJI’s folding design in almost every detail. Priced for $159.99, it comes with 2 flight batteries and a nice storage case. Remember these cheap drones lack advanced features such as obstacle avoidance system and ultra-long image transmission.

According to the advertised specs the 7.4V 2200mAh battery allows around 25 minutes of flight time. The modular LIPO pack can be conveniently recharged using the included USB cable. The LEAVES KING KF102 has up to 800 meters of control range and about 500 meters of WIFI FPV range.

In addition to the frontal 4K camera, the KF102 has a belly camera that serves as an optical flow positioning sensor. The main camera allows to record 2048*1080P@25fps videos and to take 4096*3072 still photos. By comparison, the MA2 is capable of recording true 4K videos with up to 60fps.

Our Thoughts:

Overall we found this drone to be not bad, However keep in mind it may look like the Mavic DJI 2, but it is not. It is a good starting point for someone looking for a cheap beginner drone. I found it to lose signal sometimes so I would suggest flying this drone in an open field where you can keep an eye on it until you learn it well.
