K911 Max drone with obstacle avoidance under $100

The K911 Max drone is the first drone under $100 with an obstacle avoidance system. Its main camera is capable of recording 4K videos and taking 8K photos. The camera has an ‘H’ letter on it, which is for sure not from Hasselblad.

With folded arms, the K911 Max drone measures 15.5*9*8cm and weighs 225grams. It comes with four 1503 type brushless motor that provides level 7 wind resistance.

Thanks to the fail-safe return to home (RTH) function, in case of remote controller signal loss or low flight battery voltage, the K911MAX quadcopter will return autonomously to the take-off point.

According to the advertised specs, the high capacity (2s 1800mAh) battery allows up to 25 minutes of flight time. Very impressive battery life from such a budget drone.

Price and availability

Starting with February 21, the K911 Max drone can be ordered from Banggood for $99.99 with an obstacle avoidance or $79.99 without the OA module. Both variants are available with 1, 2, or 3 flight batteries. Each extra LIPO pack will cost you 10 bucks.
