The worst drone of 2026 - Zero Zero Falcon Mini

Yes, I agree. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do

it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.

Do it.

Before watching this review of the 00

VCopter Falcon Mini, please understand

that while this is merely my honest

experience with the drone, it is

possible that I was sent a faulty unit.

Given that possibility, I offer a

preemptive apology for what you're about

to witness.

>> Yeah. Long press. Okay.

Long press. Aircraft power to activate.

Long press. Oh, I just turned the power

off. Do it.

>> This is great.

>> This is so awesome. Where can I get one

of these?

>> Oh man. Link in the description. New

drone firmware version available. Update

now. Initializing resources. Long press

aircraft power to pair. All I did was

turn it off. Aircraft connected, but

it's not on. Start flight. You mother

suck. This is the most fun drone ever.

Update now. Okay, I'll update now. This

never going to happen.

>> Updating the firmware. I'm walking away.

Updating the firmware is always fun. I

did that before I left so I wouldn't

have to do it here. Oh, there we go.

Successful device malfunction. Please

restart the device. You suck. Best drone

experience ever. It said device

connected. Now it says device not

connected. Probably needs more firmware.

And of course, it doesn't remember all

my settings from before. Nope. Okay.

[laughter]

What aing piece of [ __ ] Device

malfunction. Maybe I have to long press

it. Oh yeah, let me long press it. Yep,

that just turns it off. Come on, little

buddy.

Not connected. RC USB connected. Long

press aircraft to uh power. Start

flight. Okay. Okay, but this isn't on.

Not connected. All right. Maybe it needs

a compass calibration. That's all.

Rotate our crap. I'm doing it. I'm doing

it. You suckers.

I'm doing it. Calibration failed. Code

two. Recalibrate. No, they wanted maybe

this way. Maybe a counterclockwise.

Please stay away from metal or strong

electric objects. Okay, we are standing

by a fence. So, let's [snorts] let's go

over here. Returning. Returning.

Returning. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. What do you

want? WHAT DO YOU WANT, you piece of

[ __ ] I've done everything that it

wanted me to do. I'm going to restart

everything one more time. This is it.

And then guess what happens. We're going

to put it down like a rabid animal. App

is coming up. RC disconnected. Long

press aircraft to pair. Long press. I

even registered it with the FAA. There

we go. All right, we're in. We're in.

Oh, no. The app crashed. [laughter]

>> Todd, you having fun?

>> Yeah. This is great. I call it the

breaking of Ken. It's my new movie. And

I I tell you what, I I have I have uh

the patience of job normally. You know

this. Yeah, of course. Querying aircraft

serial number. Please try again. What is

it? Querying. I've been doing drones

since like 2009. I've had some turds in

the bunch. There was this one. You

[ __ ] piece of mother. Then there was

this one. It was really pretty, but it

sucked.

>> Oh my gosh. The propeller came off. Then

there was this one.

Oh, start start flight. Here we go. It

looks like the camera is working. The

gimbal's not. [laughter] Look at this.

Look at that. Camera's it's on. The

camera's working, but the gimbal is not

working.

It's possible. I got a dud. I got an

email from the company. Okay. Do you

know what it said? What? the minis with

the yellow shell.

Sometimes we'll get GPS lock if it's too

sunny.

>> I I'm just I'm I just You know what else

is yellow? Lemons.

>> Yes.

>> It says ready. It says ready, but still

I'm not getting the option for inverted

flight. Aren't you curious to see what

happens if you try to fly vertically

with the props going the other way?

[snorts]

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. No. No. No. No. No. No.

No. No. No. [laughter]

Whatever you do, don't lose the battery

for this little guy. Know why? Why?

Because for this video, I wanted to fly

and compare the original larger size

VCopter, but I couldn't find the battery

charger, and it has a proprietary size

battery that you can't even charge

inside the drone itself. I contacted 00

and said, "Hey, you got another one

lying around somewhere?" Nobody knew

what I was talking about. nothing. So,

if you want support for a drone that's

really not all that old, you're I found

a guy that was selling an entire old

VCopter for $1,200.

[laughter]

And I asked him, "Hey, can I just buy

the charger?" And he said, "No." So,

here, Todd, would you like a paperwe?

>> Oo, nice. Thanks,

>> Todd. Are you ready for reverse flight?

>> Absolutely.

>> Yeah. Not going to happen. Hey Todd, see

if you can hit that button. See if that

button will press. Press that button

there. You getting anything? I thought

it was my skin conductivity, but no,

it's this piece of sh I think it's going

to fly, Todd. Oh my god. Oh my god.

>> Oh my god. It It did something. Do it.

Do it. Compass interference. Move away

or recalibrate. You know what we're

going to do? We're gonna move away to a

location far from the city on private

property and we're gonna destroy this

drone.

>> Perfect. Or we could give it away.

>> Hey, somebody.

>> No, I wouldn't do that to anybody. So, I

wanted to shoot it with my 9 mm,

>> right?

>> And we actually put in some calls to

people we know to see where we could do

that legally,

>> right? But we're in a big city and we'd

have to drive far and you know there's

some gray area about shooting drones out

of the sky and all that stuff and you

know I don't want to do that. Right.

Came up with a better idea.

Bye-bye center mass. Yeah. I'm going to

do it slow and painful like. Tell me

when I'm right there.

>> Yeah. Keep coming.

Am I on it?

>> Keep coming.

Keep coming.

Who? Yes.

>> Yes.

>> Oh, I felt that.

>> Downward camera error. [laughter]

>> Really?

>> Oh, yeah. Compass interference.

>> You think? What's it look like?

>> Oh, weak signal.

>> No, really. What's it look like?

>> It uh

>> It's still got telemetry.

>> It's still It's still sending us a

picture.

>> Oh, I better back over it.

>> Back up.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> What about now? No, still got a picture.

>> Oh, okay. Here we go again.

What about now?

>> I think it's I think it's just frozen on

that. [laughter]

>> What? Tell me when I'm on it. On top of

it. Right. I'm going to go on top of it.

Right.

>> Whoa. Now I'm going to turn the wheel

and grind it. [laughter]

Yeah.

I would say that there's zero zero

chance of that working again.

Beautiful.

[laughter]

[laughter]

Oh dear. What have we done? Oh dear. Do

you think there's care and refresh?
