S1S drone
TIP15-day delivery via Aliexpress Standard Shipping
For this product, Aliexpress Standard Shipping is available with guaranteed delivery within 15 days. It’s the most reliable delivery method and, in most cases, it’s handled by a courier company. The 15-day delivery is something we actually tested.
When you order from a Chinese warehouse, AliExpress adds a customs fee to your cart of about €3,70 per order. When you receive the package, you don’t pay anything extra.
Camera and image stabilization
The S1S drone comes with a front wide-angle 8K camera, at least that’s what the seller claims. Of course, the reality with these cheap Chinese drones is somewhere else, and you can realistically expect HD image quality. It also has a secondary bottom camera that can improve accuracy during flight and landing.
Built-in electronic image stabilization (EIS) and a servo gimbal help minimize shaking and ensure smooth shots even in windy weather. The camera can tilt up to 90°, letting you set the best shooting angle.
Motor performance and battery
One of the main benefits of the S1S drone is the use of the 1503 brushless motor, which compared to standard motors offers higher performance, lower energy consumption, and a significantly longer service life. With an electrical 4000/KV setup, you get responsive and precise motion control.
A smart Li-ion battery with a capacity of 3.7V 1800mAh allows flight time of about 25 minutes per charge. According to reviews, it’s actually closer to around 15 minutes. Charging via USB takes only about an hour, which is very decent for this class. Plus, the battery is easy to swap, so you can buy spare batteries and extend your flying fun.
Flight characteristics and control
The S1S drone offers a range of up to 3000 meters in ideal conditions with no interference or obstacles. Thanks to height adjustment using a pressure sensor and optical flow for precise positioning, the drone behaves very stably and is easy to control. Control is done via an app over 2.4GHz WiFi, which also serves for live video transmission.
Other features include headless mode, one-button automatic return, gesture control, and route planning directly in the app. Thanks to the six-axis gyroscope, the flight stays stable even in more challenging conditions.
Safety and design
A big advantage of the S1S drone is its weight of just 132 grams.
Obstacle-avoidance is another plus— the drone can detect objects in its path and automatically steer around them, reducing the risk of damage.
Portability and packaging
The S1S drone is foldable, meaning it fits easily into a backpack or bag. When folded, it measures 12×8×4 cm; when unfolded, 17×13×4 cm. In the box, you’ll find everything you need: the drone itself, a controller (batteries are not included), one battery, spare propellers, a USB charging cable, a screwdriver, and manuals.
