Bwine F7GIM drone review

Bwine F7GIM无人机评测

Beginner drones come in many shapes, sizes and styles these days, making the list of the best beginner drones more varied than ever. The Bwine F7GIM is a pretty run-of-the-mill beginner model that’s easy to use and offers a fully automatic camera for capturing photos and videos. It’s nothing special, but that’s certainly not a bad thing.

如今，初学者无人机有多种形状、尺寸和风格，这使得最佳初学者无人机的名单比以往任何时候都更加多样化。Bwine F7GIM是一款非常普通的初学者型号，易于使用，并提供全自动相机来捕捉照片和视频。这没什么特别的，但那肯定不是坏事。

The Bwine F7GIM is something of an oddball in terms of weight because at 12.6 oz / 357 g it will require registration with the FAA in the U.S, even for recreational use. The focal length of the camera is 60 mm, which means you can capture subjects from further away, which works well given the weight. Put simply, you don’t have to fly as close as with a 24 mm equivalent camera.

Bwine F7GIM在重量方面有点奇怪，因为在12.6盎司/ 357克时，它需要在美国联邦航空局注册，即使是娱乐用途。这款相机的焦距为60毫米，这意味着你可以从更远的地方拍摄物体，考虑到它的重量，这一点很好。简单地说，你不需要像24毫米相机那样飞得那么近。

Image quality is respectable, and you can capture photos in JPEG format up to 5700 x 3200 px, which equates to 18MP. Video can be captured up to 4K 30 FPS, while reducing the capture resolution to 2.7K and 2K allows for 50 FPS capture. This is all pretty standard for a basic drone like this, which also offers a handful of useful features we’ll cover later.

图像质量相当不错，您可以捕获高达5700 x 3200像素的JPEG格式的照片，相当于18MP。视频可以捕获高达4K 30 FPS，而将捕获分辨率降低到2.7K和2K允许50 FPS捕获。这对于像这样的基本无人机来说都是非常标准的，它还提供了一些有用的功能，我们稍后将介绍。

The drone is perfectly adequate in most ways, but it is on the expensive side considering the other drones are available for a similar price. These include the DJI Neo and the Potensic Atom 2, both of which are superior drones. However, the F7GIM could still be exactly what you’re looking for, and it does excel in one or two areas, including wind resistance.

这种无人机在大多数方面都是完全够用的，但考虑到其他无人机也有类似的价格，它还是偏贵的。其中包括DJI Neo和Potensic Atom 2，这两款无人机都是高级无人机。然而，F7GIM仍然可能正是您想要的，而且它确实在一两个领域表现出色，包括抗风能力。

Pleasant gray and orange color scheme

Lightweight but over 250 g

重量轻，但超过250克

Folding design

折叠式设计

This is a compact folding drone that’s just 6.50 x 3.54 x 2.56 in / 165 x 90 x 65 mm when folded and 14.17 x 11.02 x 2.56 in / 360 x280 x 65 mm when unfolded. Looking at it, you could easily mistake the F7GIM for being a sub-250 g model, but it sneaks in at a weight of 12.6 oz / 357 g. As previously mentioned, this means it has to be registered with the FAA in the United States. The drone does feature Remote ID, making it FAA-compliant.

这是一款紧凑型折叠无人机，折叠时仅为6.50 x 3.54 x 2.56英寸/165 x 90 x 65毫米，展开时仅为14.17 x 11.02 x 2.56英寸/360 x 280 x 65毫米。看着它，你很容易误认为F7GIM是一个低于250克的型号，但它的重量为12.6盎司/357克。如前所述，这意味着它必须在美国联邦航空局注册。该无人机确实具有远程ID功能，使其符合FAA标准。

The weight of the F7GIM certainly isn’t the end of the world, but it is something to consider if you’re only looking for a drone for recreational flight. Many beginners opt for sun-250 g models precisely because of not having to register. Not to mention, they’re also smaller and lighter to carry around.

F7GIM的重量当然不是世界末日，但如果你只是在寻找一架用于娱乐飞行的无人机，这是需要考虑的。许多初学者选择sun- 250g型号正是因为不需要注册。更不用说，它们也更小、更轻，便于携带。。

Getting back to the design, the drone comes in a dark grey with orange accents on the propellers, which does look good. Build quality can’t be faulted, while the camera and 3-axis gimbal are well-made.

回到设计上，无人机采用深灰色设计，螺旋桨上带有橙色点缀，看起来确实不错。构建质量无可挑剔，而相机和3轴万向节制作精良。

There’s also an optical flow sensor on the bottom of the airframe for detecting the ground during low-level flying and to assist with landing. As you’d expect, there’s no collision avoidance.

机身底部还有一个光流传感器，用于低空飞行时探测地面并协助着陆。正如你所料，没有防撞装置。

The controller is of a reasonable quality and is quite chunky and comfortable to hold thanks to rubberized grips. It features a small screen that shows basic information, but it’s not bright, so it can be difficult to view in sunny conditions.

控制器是一个合理的质量，是相当厚实和舒适的持有感谢橡胶握把。它的特点是一个显示基本信息的小屏幕，但它不亮，所以在阳光充足的情况下很难看到。

The controller offers a range of direct access controls, and the control sticks can be stowed at the bottom of the controller for transportation and storage. The phone holder extends from the top of the controller with space to store the phone cable when not in use.

该控制器提供一系列直接访问控制，控制杆可以存放在控制器的底部，以便运输和储存。手机支架从控制器的顶部延伸出来，在不使用时可以储存充电线。

Level 5 wind resistance

5级抗风

Smart Return to Home

智能返航

Basic subject tracking

基本科目跟踪

The F7GIM comes with a level 5 wind resistance rating, which equates to wind speeds of up to 24 mph. The drone was tested in winds of this speed and it had no issues whatsoever, although this is the same wind resistance level as many lighter sub-250 g models. With the weight increase, a power increase would be welcome, but it’s unfortunately absent.

F7GIM的抗风等级为5级，相当于风速高达24英里/小时。该无人机在这种速度的风中进行了测试，没有任何问题，尽管这与许多较轻的250 g以下型号的抗风水平相同。随着重量的增加，功率的增加将是受欢迎的，但不幸的是它没有。

Flying in winds of around 25 mph provided flight times of around 22 minutes, as opposed to the advertised 35 minutes, but it’s safe to assume that less windy conditions would provide longer flights. This would most likely be just a few additional minutes rather than the full advertised 35 minutes per battery, which is optimistic at best.

在25英里/小时的风速下飞行，飞行时间约为22分钟，而不是广告上的35分钟，但可以肯定的是，风力较小的条件下飞行时间更长。这很可能只是额外的几分钟，而不是广告中每节电池35分钟的全部时间，这在目前看来是乐观的

The F7GIM features GPS and Return to Home (RTH) functionality, and you can set the RTH altitude within the Bwine Mini app. By default, this is set to the minimum of 20 m, so be aware of your surroundings when making your first flight and adjust accordingly.

F7GIM具有GPS和返航（RTH）功能，您可以在Bwine Mini应用程序中设置RTH高度。默认情况下，这被设置为最小的20米，所以在第一次飞行时要注意周围的环境，并进行相应的调整。

Return to Home can be initiated by the pilot when the battery is low and when the controller connection is lost. Smart RTH allows you to also control the drone during the return process to avoid obstacles.

当电池电量低和控制器连接丢失时，飞行员可以启动返航功能。智能RTH还允许您在返回过程中控制无人机以避开障碍物。

There are a few basic subject tracking functions available, but during testing these weren’t the best examples I’ve experienced. The GPS follow was the most reliable since it tracks the controller, but the subject doesn’t always remain in the centre of the camera frame. Orbit, where the drone orbits the subject, was unreliable and haphazard.

有一些基本的主题跟踪功能可用，但在测试过程中，这些不是我经历过的最好的例子。GPS跟踪是最可靠的，因为它跟踪控制器，但主体并不总是保持在相机框架的中心。无人机绕目标飞行的轨道是不可靠和随意的。

Despite these features lacking in performance, overall flight performance is great and can’t be faulted. The controller allows for precise movements, and the gimbal is smooth when incorporating gimbal movements with flight to capture interesting video footage. This is always a good test of drone gimbals, and the F7GIM passed with flying colors.

尽管这些功能在性能上有所欠缺，但整体飞行性能非常出色，无可挑剔。控制器允许精确的运动，当将万向节运动与飞行结合起来以捕捉有趣的视频镜头时，万向节是平滑的。这是对无人机万向节的一个很好的测试，F7GIM出色地通过了。

Within the main feature menu, there are also quite a few other options, including Route Planning, VR Split Screen, Digital Zoom, Night Mode to increase brightness in the app camera view and several other options.

在主功能菜单中，还有相当多的其他选项，包括路线规划、VR分屏、数字变焦、在应用程序相机视图中增加亮度的夜间模式以及其他几个选项。

The Bwine Mini app is basic and easy to use, which is ideal for beginners. One point to mention is that by default, the drone is set to Beginner Mode, which limits altitude and flight distance, so you’ll have to manually switch this off to increase both of these.

Bwine Mini app基础简单易用，非常适合初学者。需要提到的一点是，默认情况下，无人机被设置为初学者模式，这限制了高度和飞行距离，所以你必须手动关闭它才能增加这两者。

Fixed focus 60mm lens and 3-axis gimbal

定焦60mm镜头和3轴云台

Up to 4K 30 FPS video

高达4K 30 FPS视频

Automatic camera

自动照相机

The F7GIM camera features a 1/3.2 in Sony sensor with a 60mm equivalent focal length and an f/2.0 aperture. This is a long focal length for a single-camera drone, but it seems to work. The camera is supported by a 3-axis gimbal, resulting in smooth video capture.

F7GIM相机采用1/3.2索尼传感器，等效焦距为60mm，光圈为f/2.0。这是一个长焦距的单摄像头无人机，但它似乎很有效。相机由3轴万向节支撑，可实现流畅的视频捕捉。

The important point to make here is that the camera is fully automatic with fixed focus, so you have no control over any settings. This is perhaps ideal for photography beginners, but less so for enthusiasts.

这里需要说明的重点是，相机是全自动定焦的，所以你不能控制任何设置。这对摄影初学者来说可能是理想的，但对摄影爱好者来说就不那么理想了。

Image quality is surprisingly good despite the fully automatic camera, although it does have a depth-of-field issue. Objects closer to the camera are lovely and sharp, but those in the distance do fall out of focus.

尽管是全自动相机，但图像质量出奇的好，尽管它确实有景深问题。离相机较近的物体生动清晰，但远处的物体确实会失焦。

The centre of the frame is also characteristically sharper than the outer area, which is normal for most drones, and since the camera is automatic, it’s best to shoot with the sun behind the drone for more reliable exposures. With no control over exposure compensation, shooting towards the sun results in underexposure.

框架的中心也比外部区域更清晰，这对大多数无人机来说是正常的，由于相机是自动的，所以无人机最好在太阳后面拍摄，以获得更可靠的曝光。由于无法控制曝光补偿，朝太阳拍摄会导致曝光不足。

The only variables that can be changed are the resolution and frame rate of video, while the resolution of photos can be adjusted to three different amounts. Photo sizes are in a 16:9 ratio and are captured in JPEG format. The resolutions available include 3840 x 2160 px, 4096 x 3072 px and 5700 x 3200 px.

唯一可以改变的变量是视频的分辨率和帧率，而照片的分辨率可以调整到三个不同的量。照片大小为16:9比例，并以JPEG格式捕获。可用的分辨率包括3840 x 2160像素，4096 x 3072像素和5700 x 3200像素。

Video can be captured in 4K 30 FPS, 2.7K 50/30 FPS, 2K 50 FPS and 720p 30 FPS. 720p is stored on your phone, alongside photos, so you have to keep an eye on how much storage it’s using over time. It’s a shame this can’t be switched off if desired. Other footage and photos are stored on the microSD card in the drone, and the F7GIM can accept 16 to 128GB cards. Video quality is, as is often the case with drones, better than photo quality.

视频可以以4K 30 FPS、2.7 K 50/30 FPS、2K 50 FPS和720p 30 FPS拍摄。720p与照片一起存储在您的手机上，因此您必须关注它随着时间的推移使用了多少存储空间。很遗憾，如果需要的话，这个不能关掉。其他镜头和照片存储在无人机中的microSD卡上，F7GIM可以接受16至128GB的卡。正如无人机经常出现的情况一样，视频质量比照片质量更好。

The Bwine F7GIM is a respectable beginner drone, but where it ultimately falls is in its price of $400 / £296. This puts it in direct competition, price-wise, with the DJI Neo and the Potensic Atom 2, which are both more advanced drones with superior flight performance and features in general.

Bwine F7GIM是一款值得尊敬的初学者无人机，但它最终的价格为400美元/ 296英镑。这使得它在价格方面与DJI Neo和Potensic Atom 2直接竞争，这两款无人机都是更先进的无人机，具有卓越的飞行性能和总体功能。

If the F7GIM was less expensive, it would be a much more attractive proposition, although it’s not a bad drone at all if you’re willing to pay that price. Like all tech, it depends on what you're looking for in terms of brand and features.

如果F7GIM的价格能再便宜一些，那它的吸引力会大得多，尽管如果你愿意支付那个价格，它也绝不是一款差劲的无人机。和所有科技产品一样，这取决于你对品牌和功能的具体需求。

The drone comes in a kit which includes the drone, controller, two batteries, an extra set of propellers, an extra set of controller sticks, phone cables, USB-C cables for charging, a carry case and other accessories. This is everything you need to get started.

无人机配有一个套件，包括无人机、控制器、两节电池、一套额外的螺旋桨、一套额外的控制器棒、电话线、用于充电的USB-C电缆、一个手提箱和其他配件。这是你开始工作所需的一切。

This is a tricky one because the F7GIM is a good beginner drone. It flies well, image quality is good for a basic model of this type and the fully automatic camera makes it incredibly easy to capture photos and videos. What’s more, the kit comes with everything you need and more in terms of the accessories that are included.

这是一个棘手的问题，因为F7GIM是一个很好的初学者无人机。它飞得很好，图像质量对于这种类型的基本型号来说很好，全自动相机使捕捉照片和视频变得非常容易。此外，该套件配备了您需要的一切，还包括更多配件。

The main issue is the price, which is too close to bigger-name and more advanced drone models. However, if price isn’t an issue for you, you won’t go wrong with the F7GIM. It may be the simplicity of the camera that attracts some people to it because it’s very much a point-and-shoot affair.

主要问题是价格，它与更知名、更先进的无人机型号太接近了。然而，如果价格对你来说不是问题，你不会错的F7GIM。也许是相机的简单性吸引了一些人，因为它在很大程度上是一种傻瓜相机。

The DJI Neo is a sub-250 g beginner drone that can be flown autonomously with impressive subject tracking functionality, with the DJI Fly app via your smartphone or using a traditional controller. The drone can capture 4K video and photos in JPEG format.

DJI Neo是一款250克以下的初学者无人机，可以通过智能手机或使用传统控制器使用DJI Fly应用程序自主飞行，具有令人印象深刻的主题跟踪功能。无人机可以捕捉JPEG格式的4K视频和照片。

The Holy Stone HS900 Sirius is another sub-250 g beginner drone worth considering, thanks to excellent flight performance, impressive image quality and useful features. Video can be captured up to 4K and photos in Raw and JPEG.

圣石HS900天狼星是另一个250克以下的初学者无人机值得考虑，由于出色的飞行性能，令人印象深刻的图像质量和有用的功能。视频可以捕捉高达4K的Raw和JPEG格式的照片。

The Potensic Atom 2 is the best DJI alternative available in a regulator-friendly sub-250 g package. This impressive drone is available at an attractive price and can capture 4K video and photos in Raw and JPEG.

Potensic Atom 2是DJI最好的替代品，采用调节器友好的250克以下封装。这款令人印象深刻的无人机价格极具吸引力，可以捕捉Raw和JPEG格式的4K视频和照片。
