Design
The Snaptain SP600N has an elegant modern design, it is well built with good quality plastics and it has a nice black color with a black bottom color.
Its design is the classic quadcopter look with 4 propellers similar to most drones such as DJI, it feels pretty tough and resistant. If one of your propellers got damaged you are able to replace and switch them.
The dimensions of the Snaptain SP600N are 32 x 32 x 13 cm (12.6 x 12.6 x 5.1″) and weighs 700g (1.54lbs), all the adjustments and controls will be made from the controller. It can fly up to 500 meters with the transmitter connection.

Modes and Features
The Snaptain SP600N comes with a GPS system, having a GPS system tracker can provide you with accurate positioning details of your drone. Many modes of the SP600N work thanks to the GPS system.
Flight mode by trajectory or “Waypoint mode”, allows you to pre-program a sequence of actions and movements that the SP600N will follow.
When the drone has lost signal or is low battery or when you can press a button and it will fly automatically using the auto return to home and land function. It also has a low-battery alert so you know when you are running out of battery.
The “Follow-me” mode is a useful feature which like the name suggests allows the drone to follow you. However, it does not work superbly well if you move quickly.
Snaptain has kept this fun feature that allows you to take photos or videos with simple hand signs. We haven’t tested it but it’s a bit gimmicky and not super practical, except for fairly close selfies.
The SNAPTAIN SP600N has also multiple flight modes, the headless mode allows you to fly no matter what direction the aircraft is facing, the forward stick is forward, and the back stick is backward.
With one-button of the remote control, the drone can take off or land automatically, always convenient. It is also possible to take off Snaptain SP600N directly with the joysticks.
The Snaptain SP600N also comes with a smartphone app that you can easily install and take control of the drone with it.
My opinion
The Snaptain SP600N drone is a great quality-budget drone, I definitely recommend getting it if it offers what you are looking for. The Snaptain SP600N has all the basic drone features and more, as well as good flight, battery, and features.
The Snaptain SP600N is pretty easy to learn and will get you all those great aerial shots you would want in a drone with the 2K camera even in mildly windy conditions, it also carries an 1800 mAh battery which will give you plenty of time to record an amazing flight distance.
Even though it’s a bit costly it’s an amazing price for everything you get in return. If you are looking for a fast drone, this one will work well as well at 20km/s, and flying as far as 500 meters(1640ft).
This drone has a lot of positive reviews from many people and we recommend getting it if you are looking for a great drone, we hope this review was helpful.
