KF100 Max: New drone can carry and drop objects, comes with 4K video, GPS and touchscreen controller

The KF100 Max is a new drone that is now available for direct import. The model is listed at just under €300/£261, which includes import duties, but not the shipping fee. Unfortunately, this product does not ship to the US. Buyers should also keep in mind that their warranty and return rights are likely to be very limited in the event of a claim. Another major limitation is that the drone has a takeoff weight of (up to) 745 grams, significantly exceeding the legal 250-gram limit for recreational use in many countries.

The KF100 Max comes with a touchscreen controller, which has a screen diagonal of 5.5 inches. According to the specs listed, the control range is 6,000 meters, which is likely to be further reduced in the event of obstacles or mountainous terrain. A flight altitude of up to 500 meters is specified, while the maximum flight speed is said to be 11 m/s and the maximum flight time 50 minutes.

A 1/3.2-inch sensor is installed, which allows for videos with a resolution of up to 3,840 x 2,160 and photos of up to 7,680 x 4,320 pixels. GPS support means that the drone can automatically return to the starting point when battery levels are low, the signal is lost or the user simply presses the one-key-return button. Lastly, the drone can carry and drop objects not heavier than 800g. Further information on the drone's specs can be found on the product page.
