Mounting a smartphone for iOS or Android™ provides a sharp, clear FPV (First Person Video) viewpoint and an easily referenced display of flight data. The 5.8GHz transceiver offers the flexibility of three skill level settings, as well as push-buttons that make takeoffs, landings and return to home trips easy and virtually effortless. For videographers and photographers, it’s an exceptionally easy-to-use aerial platform equipped with a wide and sophisticated range of creative tools. For current and would-be pilots, it’s an easy-to-master fast-track to flying success. Xiro did an excellent job making a drone that is accessible to the masses and, thanks to its user-friendliness, easy to fly.The Xiro Xplorer provides Hobbico with a solid product offering ideal for two vastly different markets. Selfie drones are still new on the scene, and the Xplorer Mini is setting the bar high.

After a long day on the trails, the flight app makes it easy to preview your photos and videos and download them to your phone, ready to share on social media. I took the Xplorer Mini mountain biking and the Follow Me and Follow Snap modes did a good job of keeping up and keeping me centered in the shot for perfect photos and videos. The last control mode I tried was Motion control, which moves the drone in the direction you tilt your phone or tablet. From medium to fast stick sensitivity, flying in any mode felt solid and easily controllable.

Switching to the Free Control mode and experimenting with the stick sensitivities turned the Xplorer Mini into a responsive little flier. In this mode, the position of the Xplorer Mini is relative: No matter which way the nose is pointing, the Xplorer Mini moves in the same direction as the right control stick, which eliminates any orientation confusion. I configured the Xplorer Mini to fly on Safe Control mode, with the control stick sensitivity on “Safe.” If you’re a first-time pilot, this is the perfect mode for you. I decided to play it safe-literally-on the maiden flight using the safe-flight modes.
Then with a quick tap of the Takeoff icon, the Xplorer Mini got airborne and held a steady hover 2 meters off the ground waiting for its next command. When I was ready for lift off, I simply tapped on the Start icon and the brushless motors came to life. It’s hard to handle this little drone and not smudge up the camera lens with fingerprints, so I recommend always giving the lens a quick wipe before takeoff. Once calibrated, connecting my phone to the drone was quick and easy. Although the app showed the Xplorer Mini was ready for flight, I wanted to calibrate the internal GPS just to be on the safe side. If you’re like me and can’t wait to get a new drone up in the air, the Xiro Xplorer app makes it a cinch to get started. Xiro’s intuitive flight app makes it easy to fly the Xplorer Mini while keeping you informed of all the vital stats, all while allowing you to capture beautiful photos, such as this shot of my local pier in Oceanside, California. The Xplorer Mini’s internal GPS/GLONASS dual-satellite system allows it to hold a steady hover outdoors. Under the drone, you will also find an ultrasonic sensor for vision positioning when you’re flying indoors (where it won’t be able to find satellite signals). The drone will immediately start transmitting a WiFi signal, which will allow you to connect to the installed app on your phone. When you’re ready to power on the Xplorer Mini, you hold the on/off button for three seconds until you see the green LED indicator light and hear the internal cooling fan power on. The foldable arms are released and extended via the release buttons located under each of the four arms.
#Xiro xplorer install#
After charging the battery, which takes about an hour with the included charger, you install it into the drone after removing the top hatch, which snaps back into place. In addition, the app’s telemetry keeps you updated with the drone’s height, speed, and distance the number of satellites you’re connected to the flight-battery status and available internal memory storage. The flight app makes it easy to navigate through all the performance features of the Xplorer Mini, including the flight modes, photo/video shooting configurations, and camera tilt control. No dedicated remote is included because your phone, with the dedicated app, will be used to control the Xplorer Mini.
The plastic insert keeps everything nicely packaged, and the box can be used as storage when you’re not using the drone.
The Xplorer Mini comes neatly packaged in a box with attractive artwork that informs you about all the important specs and what’s inside in the box. This makes it extremely convenient to capture life’s moments on the fly. Your phone is all you need to fly the Xplorer Mini.
