What we like about CHUBORY A77

  • User-friendly controls that are ideal for beginners and children.
  • Comes with three batteries, significantly extending the total flight time.
  • Includes a portable carrying case and spare parts like blades and screws.
  • Stable hovering and good responsiveness during flights in mild conditions.
  • Affordable entry-level price point for those new to drone flying.

What we don't like about CHUBORY A77

  • Unreliable flight stability, with some units 'having a mind of their own' and crashing.
  • App connectivity and syncing issues, with many users unable to pair the camera.
  • Hardware durability concerns, including controllers failing to charge over time.
  • Lack of a dedicated SD card slot, requiring footage to be recorded via the mobile app.
  • Mixed camera quality, described by some as grainy or sluggish with response delays.

Verdict

The CHUBORY A77 is a lightweight, foldable drone weighing under 249g, making it exempt from FAA registration. It is powered by durable brushless motors that provide enhanced wind resistance and quieter operation compared to brushed models. A standout feature is its extended 84-minute total flight time provided by three upgraded 2000mAh batteries. The drone is equipped with a 4K HD camera featuring a 130° wide-angle lens and 90° remote adjustment for versatile aerial photography. Its flight system includes optical flow positioning for stable hovering, as well as smart modes like Follow Me, Trajectory Flight, and 3D flips, making it highly accessible for beginners. Main pros include its impressive battery life, portability, and user-friendly automated flight features. However, some users have noted cons such as mixed stability in higher winds, occasional lag in remote control response, and a camera that may lack the high-end sensor quality found in professional-grade drones.
