After tampering around with Zerotech’s Dobby (a review on this one is scheduled for the near future), it’s safe to say I was amazed by its performance. I could not believe that our technology is so advanced that we can cram up so many features and sensors into such a small device. Needless to say, I was astonished by its performance but unfortunately, I had to return it to my friend as he only gave me 2 days to test it out. That’s why I went ahead and order another very similar drone. If you are familiar with XIRO Xplorer, then I’m sure you can already feel that this is going to be a good one!
[wp-review]
Meet XIRO Xplorer Mini. It is a miniature foldable drone with an excellent design that will definitely capture the eyes of many. Truth be told, other than its name, Xplorer Mini does not share any visual factors with its big brother. None at all! But that is not necessarily a bad thing since this little guy looks absolutely awesome. The build quality is solid. The drone feels sturdy in hands and seems as though it can take quite the beating. The design is superb. That beautiful black finish with yellow, red and green finishing touches makes it look rather fancy and stand out among others.

XIRO Xplorer Mini Camera Quality
Max Range of XIRO Xplorer Mini
Judging by the fact that we are talking about a miniature selfie drone here, it is not that surprising that it has a ridiculously small range. First, you have to understand that this is not an exploring drone. If you want that type of drone, then take a look at models such as Hubsan X4 H109S. You cannot expect those sorts of things from this little fella. It is best used as… how should I put this delicately… a flying camera! I doubt you’d want your flying camera to take pictures of you and your friends from more than 100 meters away from you. That’s pretty much the maximum range of XIRO Xplorer Mini – 100 meters. While it might seem short at the first glance, if you’re planning on using it for selfies and similar stuff like that, then 100 meters will be just enough.

XIRO Xplorer Mini Features
XIRO Xplorer Mini is not shy when it comes to its features. As a matter of fact, it is full on bragging with them and, truth be told, there’s plenty of stuff to brag about. For instance, this little fella is equipped with both GPS and GLONASS systems, making it extremely stable in midair. This also allows it to have those standard features such as hovering, auto return to home, low power protection, lost connection protection, and best of all – smart flight modes with support for FPV. To top it all off, this little fella is foldable (I believe I mentioned this at least a couple of times over the course of this review…) meaning it is extremely mobile and will fit into virtually any sort of purse (even man purse).
