My opinion
The Zuhafa T5 drone is a great quality-budget drone, I definitely recommend getting it if it offers what you are looking for. The Zuhafa T5 has all the basic drone features and more, as well as good flight, battery, and features.
One of the best aspects of this drone is its great battery time thanks to the 2 batteries and being able to fly as far as 300m and lasting 60minutes. The T5 works as a great exploring drone, it also comes with FPV (First Person View) to be able to see everything the drone is seeing in real-time.
The many modes of the Zuhafa T5 are some of the best features of this drone. If this is your first drone the Zuhafa is pretty easy to learn as well and will get you all those great aerial shots you would want in a drone with the 4K camera even in light wind conditions.
I was able to try out this drone and it felt like a great starter drone or budget drone, it’s comfortable to fly and carry anywhere with its nice case. The modes really impressed me since they work great and very useful especially for its price, this is a great drone to get started with.
Although the Zuahafa T5 is a good drone being medium-budget don’t expect to get excellent image quality and professional flying times such as high-end DJI drones.This drone has many positive reviews from many people and we recommend getting it if you are looking for a great medium-end drone, we hope this review was helpful.
