Equipped with PTZ 3-axis 4K gimbal and featuring up to 26 minutes of flight time, the new upgraded ZLRC SG906 Pro 2 seems to be right now the best Mavic Air 2 alternative under $200. In addition to the frontal 4K camera, there is a second one on the belly which serves as an optical-flow positioning sensor.
The ZLRC Beast SG906 Pro 2 is powered by a 7.4V/3400mAh battery that allows more than 25 minutes of airborne time. According to the rumored specs, the control range is around 1KM and the FPV range is a bit shorter (~800 meters).
Vloggers will appreciate the gesture photo/video modes and instant social sharing. The second-generation SG906 Pro 2 is also capable of intelligent flight modes such as surround orbiting and autonomous waypoint flights.

Starting August 27, the second-generation Beast SG906 Pro 2 can be ordered from Banggood with 15% off. At the checkout, you can choose for 1, 2, or 3 flight batteries. As a storage solution, you have standard box, a backpack, or a hardshell case. For more fun, you can also opt for a megaphone system. Basic package with one battery is advertised for $169.99.

ZLRC SG906 Pro 2 remote controller
In order to be more packable, similar to Air 2’s transmitter, the SG906 Pro 2’s has removable sticks. On the bottom of the remote controller, there is a status LCD screen that shows telemetry data like flight distance, flight altitude, RC signal strength, and number of satellites found.
On the front panel, beside the usual control sticks, you have four control buttons. From left to the right, you can find RTH, Speed switch, Video, and Photo. On each side, there are two shoulder buttons. While left ones are Headless mode switch and One Key Start/Landing, the right one allows you to move the Gimbal Up/Down.

I recently bought the ZLRC SG906 Pro 2 Beast and I love it! My issue is that I can’t seem to Live Stream from my drone. I’ve tried AZScreenRecorder and PRISM Live apps, but Safari won’t allow me to login while WiFi is connected to the drone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have been flying my ZLRC SG906 Pro 2 Beast on and off since Christmas. Then this weekend I took it out. I was flying it with no problems. I put it away for a bit and then took it out to fly again. This time it wasn’t able to connect to the WiFi and the WiFi would not show up in my list. I hope that someone can give me some ideas of what I can do. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HFunPro app and still nothing.
Hi Henry, I bought my ZLRC SG906 Pro 2 Beast a few weeks ago, and I’ve had the same issue. The only solution I’ve found is to “Forget this Network” in my WiFi settings, then reconnect. Oh, I use an iPhone, by the way.
I have the SG906pro and like it but wish it had the 3 axis gimbal. Also, wish it was a little better quality video to the phone but the video using an SD card looks great. Other thing is the gimbal needs to be a little smoother moving up and down, it’s a little twitchy. For the price though you can’t beat this drone. I’ve heard a lot of people compare it to the mavic mini but that’s like comparing a Camaro to a Ferrari, a huge price difference. If someone is just starting out I would recommend this drone. Final thought, be careful with the joysticks, they will become loose over time and fall out. I glued mine in with a little hot glue and just leave them in. Pushing them in and removing them so much will eventually make them become loose sonic you can leave them in I would suggest it.
Hallo, is er iemand die weet via welke freqentie de telemetriegegevens op het scherm van de controller komen, is er up/down communicatie op zowel 2,4 ghz en5,8 ghz?
Hi, does anyone know what frequency the telemetry data is coming through on the controller screen, is there up / down communication on both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz?
Took my ZLRC SG906 Pro 2 out for a flight today, Finally sunny weather after a week of rain. The first 5 minutes were Ok than lost connection and crash it. Luckily it was at a low altitude so no major damages
Hello!
Can this drone be used for mapping?
I’m not familiarized with such a job. Can you describe the requirements for mapping?
Basically, he should be able to follow waypoints and take photos from them with the camera in a vertical position (or I can take those photos manually too). The stabilization of the camera must also be very good.
Yes it will do waypoints. App uses Google maps and you drop the waypoints on map
Does this drone work with iPhone 6plus?
Yes
do you need a liecense to fly this is it over 250 grms
In the US (FAA) and probably most countries, every drone above 250 grams requires registration
Hello, I have a question regarding ZLRC. Will ZLRC be coming

Hello, I have the PRO 1 with 2-axis Gimbal
Do you think is possible upgrade the camera module to 3-axis?
Tks
Just bought a brand new SG906 PRO 2 and the controller doesn’t turn On. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong??
Please, give more details… Difficult to help! What means “turn on”: front LEDs lighted, blue display showing status… or nothing happens when pressing the switch?
Check first if the controller voltage is OK: should be around 6 volts at terminals.
Warning: smartphone must have Wifi AC (5g) to connect to receive video from the drone.
metti le batterie…..(4 Stilo)
put the batteries ….. (4 Stylus)
I am pretty impressed by the ZLRC SG906 Pro 2 drone. Both flight range and battery life are better compared to the first edition. In its price range I would rate it 10/10
Hola Marisa, on l’has comprat i preu?. Gràcies.
Hi Marisa, where did you buy it and for what price?. Thanks.
much bigger battery, and only 1 min extra flight time???
yes, not a big upgrade from 25 to 26 minutes
what is the weight of this drone?? DO I need licence to fly this..?
The ZLRC SG906 PRO 2 weighs 557 grams. In the US, FAA registration requires for any drone over 250 grams.
great drone! wait for your review!
besides the higher capacity battery and 3-axis gimbal, there are other upgrades compared to the original SG906?
I think is brushless the original isnt…
Both, SG906Pro V1 and V2 have brushless motors!
