Third-party reviews

What we like about X-Verse SG109MAX2

  • Three-axis gimbal for steady 4K video
  • Omnidirectional obstacle avoidance
  • Remote with a built-in screen
  • About 30 minutes per 3800 mAh battery
  • GPS return-to-home and waypoints

What we don't like about X-Verse SG109MAX2

  • 255 g is just over the 250 g threshold
  • No EU class label
  • No user reviews yet
  • Lesser-known brand

Verdict

The X-Verse SG109MAX2 offers features rarely seen at its price: a three-axis gimbal, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and a remote with a built-in screen. The 4K camera stays steady on the gimbal, while sensors around the airframe help it stop before hitting obstacles in any direction. A large 3800 mAh battery is rated for about 30 minutes, and the drone resists winds of around 10.7 m/s. GPS provides return-to-home and waypoint flights, and the control range reaches about 3 km. At 255 g it sits just above the 250 g line, so registration rules may be stricter, and it carries no EU class label. As a brand-new model from a lesser-known maker it has no user reviews yet. For buyers who want gimbal footage plus all-round sensing on a budget, it is worth a look.
