New X-Star owner from Texas

[gklugie]

Just got a X-star WiFi. Second-hand, but still new in box.
Nice bird. I upgraded firmware to ver 2, and tried a few test flights.
I like the starlink app. Simple and clean. This bird does not quite have great range, but it has a great camera, and videos are about equal to those of my DJI Phantom 3 Advanced.

I think these birds are still relevant as far as camera quality. From the forum, it seems fellows are flee

Enjoy your new bird! Alot of info on here for you.

The XSP is still a really solid product, I love mine. Durable, reliable (if you’re anal about battery management & maintenance!), decent flight times, with a camera that’s ALMOST as good as Evo’s as far as I can tell from the many videos I’ve studied. I think the biggest weaknesses are range and low-light situations, a common issue with small sensors. Sadly, Evo’s is not much better at either — most reviewers I’ve seen say not to go past iso 400, or .8miles in real-world situations. Ditto XSP. You need a bigger 1” sensor to improve low light performance.

There has been some very good stuff "filmed" with the XPS. I love mine & have yet to feel it necessary to "upgrade". The only times I get to wishin' is when I'm lugging it through airports.
