Wingsland S6 Flight TestWingsland S6 Flight Test

[Updated 13-07-17 – Part 5 added – BB Gun Accessory] Last year saw the rise of the smaller autonomous drone, but only the Mavic Pro from DJI succeeded. Wingsland have just relaunched their ‘Wingsland S6’ compact foldable drone and it looks impressive.

Earlier in 2016, we reported on the initial launch of the Wingsland S6 but shortly after our editorial, we discovered that the model launched was a ‘pre-production’ version.

Wingsland S6 Version 2 – Unboxing, Inspection, Flight Test Review

Customers were unhappy with this model, in addition to the firmware and app being relatively prematurely released with barely any functionality.

But the S6 has just been relaunched with a redesigned hardware set and an impressive specification, including 4K camera, dual-ultrasonic sensors, downward facing optical flow camera, GPS and GLONASS and folding form-factor which makes it truly pocket sized.

Watch our video review (5 parts)…

Part 1 (Wingsland S6 Unboxing and Inspection)

In this first video, we unbox and inspect the Wingsland S6 to see how it compares to rival folding quadcopters/drones.
