What we like about Wipkviey T28

  • Beginner-friendly with easy one-key takeoff and landing functions.
  • Very affordable and offers good value for its low price point.
  • Includes two rechargeable batteries, which can provide a total of 24–30 minutes of flight time.
  • Lightweight (approx. 122g) and foldable design, making it highly portable and exempt from certain registration requirements.
  • Fun features for kids and families, such as 360-degree flips and gesture-controlled selfies.
  • Comes with protective propeller guards to prevent damage during crashes.

What we don't like about Wipkviey T28

  • Poor camera quality that many users find grainy, laggy, or lower resolution than advertised.
  • Flight stability is heavily affected by even light winds due to its lightweight build.
  • Frequent reports of reliability issues, including motors failing or propellers spinning unevenly shortly after purchase.
  • Mixed experiences with battery life, with some users reporting significantly shorter flight times than the 15 minutes per battery stated.
  • Difficulty syncing the drone with the remote controller or mobile app during setup.
  • Risk of 'fly-aways' where the drone stops responding to controls and disappears.

Verdict

The Wipkviey T28 is a foldable mini drone designed primarily for beginners and kids, featuring a 90° adjustable 1080P HD (or up to 4K in some variants) camera with FPV real-time transmission via Wi-Fi. Weighing approximately 122g to 180g, it offers flight-friendly characteristics like altitude hold, one-key takeoff/landing, and three speed modes, alongside fun features such as 360° flips and gesture-controlled photography. Main pros include its lightweight design—which typically exempts it from pilot registration requirements—and an extended total flight time of 24–30 minutes using two included modular batteries. However, some users have noted cons such as poor stability in even slight winds, occasional motor malfunctions, and camera quality that may not always meet professional expectations.
