![]() There are several reasons why your drone might fail to pair with either your controller or smartphone, something I’ll be covering in detail in hopes you land on a solution to your specific problem by the end of the article. As earlier stated, drones are a piece of technology prone to failure at some point in their life, and if you find yourself in this or a related predicament, read on to understand what’s going wrong. In today’s article, I’ll be covering the reasons as to why your drone might fail to pair to a controller or smartphone and ways you can fix the problem. In order to resolve the issue, you may need to check into all these three possibilities to find the solution to your problem. Your drone may fail to connect because of a possible technical glitch, low batteries, or the controller not being synced correctly to the drone. Not to worry, we’ve got some answers for you. If you find yourself in such a scenario, you may be wondering why the drone is failing to connect and how to fix it. If you can sport another $200 for a just over $400 price tag, then look towards a DJI Mini 2.Like any other technology, drones are prone to technical glitches and have issues such as connection failure. If you need to stay in that price range, it's a good drone. If you're just flying for fun and the novelty of being able to put goggles, it's really not too bad at a sub $200 price. If you're buying this for doing drone aerial videography, pass. I didn't test the range because honestly I don't trust it that far out. I flew in 6 mph winds with occasional 15 mph gusts, so that gives you an idea of what I was flying within. ![]() I didn't bother recording anything to the memory stick because I just never really trusted this to be stable enough while I figured out the remote. The FPV goggles are pretty neat and you can see a black and white image of what the drone sees. If you're outside in a clearing, and are OK with constantly fidgeting to hold position, then you'll be ok with it. If you're used to a DJI which is rock solid with little drift, this won't meet that expectation. Watch the video review and you'll see it. ![]() With the legalities out of the way, the drone is "ok". ![]() A VO can warn you of a tree, helicopter or other threat. If you have goggles on, you have lost SA. Technically, a pilot or VO must have their eyes on their drone for situational awareness (SA) of threats at all times. If you do fly this with the goggles on and want to be a conscientious pilot, you need a Visual Observer (VO). If you get your Part 107, now you're actually registering the drone itself. If you register this with the FAA as a recreational pilot, then the S/N matters less since you're registering yourself and one drone, up to four drones. Then, there's not really anything saying "Serial Number," so you'll have to just go with the number on the bottom of the drone. Or so I believe because absolutely nothing anywhere says the weight, and the Vivitar instructions say to register it. That said, if you fly this legally, you need to go to FlyMyDrone at the FAA and register it because it is MORE than 250g. I have about 40 miles of flying and a couple hundred hours in the last 6 months according to my DJI Fly App. I am a Part 107 FAA Licensed drone pilot and have a Mini 2 and Air 2 from DJI. Watch my video for a good idea of how this drone flies. Here is the written review I uploaded with the video: I spent about 15 minutes on two flights and recorded my thoughts as I flew it. I was sent (free in return for doing a product review) a Vivitar VTI FPV Duo Camera Racing Drone with Flight Immersive Goggles.
