Xiaomi Mi Drone unboxing
The drone is delivered in a simple white cardboard packaging, typical of Xiaomi. The drone and accessories are arranged in such a way that the space is used in the most rational manner possible. And as the pictures speak better than anything, you can notice it for yourself on the picture below. Everything is written only in Chinese, until the instructions for use. There is therefore a small tension when opening the boxes.
As can be seen from the pictures, there are two sets of rotor blades with protections, the installation of which is optional. For the rest, these are the necessary accessories, and other screws, as well as the cables for the load. The Xiaomi Mi Drone‘s camera was in a separate box.
Step by step, until the first flight of the Mi Drone
Even if Xiaomi emphasizes the ease of use of its drone, which must be intuitive, the manual and application in Chinese will confuse so many pilots. That is why, apart from describing the particularities of the drone, we have also set up a guide to help you navigate through the installation step by step.
The rotor blades are installed quickly and easily. They are colored, which makes it possible to distinguish the corresponding places.
The landing gear of the Mi drone is folded in the package.
The orange color protections certainly add charm to the device, but they are not mandatory. Since they do not interfere, let us say that it is better to mount them, especially at the beginning, because they make the drone more visible. The only “disadvantage” when mounting them, is the loud noise that this causes.
The installation of the camera does not require much effort either. A small latch below releases the output where the camera plugs in. It is possible that a slight pressure is required to insert it completely.
Battery
The 5100 mAh battery is simply inserted behind the drone. You just have to be careful of what’s on the right side. The button is located at the bottom.
To recharge the battery, use the supplied cable. But an adapter for the electrical outlets is necessary.
Remote control
After the previous steps, the Mi drone is already ready for use. But the remote also has to undergo some preparations. Thanks to a micro-USB output located underneath, it can be recharged.
The other end of the cable can be useful for connecting your smartphone. Note: without smartphone and Xiaomi account, you can not do anything. A hidden support allows you to attach the smartphone to the remote control.
Despite a rather unusual appearance, the remote control holds well in the palm of the hand. It would have been even more fun if it had been a little smaller. Next to the steering sticks are an ignition button, a start or take-off button and the Return Home button.
Instead of the triggers, there are casters that allow the adjustment of the illumination and the inclination of the camera and the adjustment of the white LEDs. The two buttons on the back of the remote control allow you to take photos and videos.
We’ll update the feature of Xiaomi Mi drone in the next post, please stay tuned.
