Our take on the RG601 MAX Drone

The RG601 MAX is a folding GPS drone with a 5G WiFi camera that records 8K video and a downward optical-flow sensor for stable hovering. It offers GPS return-to-home, 25 minutes of flight time from a 3000 mAh battery, and brushless motors. It suits beginners and casual flyers who want GPS safety and gesture controls, but its camera and build fall short of DJI and Hubsan models at a similar level.

About the RG601 MAX Drone

The RG601 MAX is a folding camera drone with GPS positioning and optical flow positioning. It has a wide-angle front camera with 8K high definition and WiFi transmission. A bottom camera with optical flow can be switched to change the photo angle. A steering pan design keeps the camera steady.

GPS positioning supports one-key return, return when the signal is lost, and return on low battery. Brushless motors provide the power. The 7.4 V 3000 mAh battery gives about 25 minutes of flight. Laser obstacle avoidance is optional, and with it the drone stops when it meets an obstacle.

The drone is controlled with the remote control or with a phone through the app. The app shows the drone's real-time location on a map and lets you draw a custom flight route. Flight functions include smart follow, fly-around, palm control, gesture photography and headless mode. The drone flies up and down, forward and backward, and left and right, and it can switch between optical flow and GPS positioning.

Questions and answers

Is the RG601 MAX good for beginners?
Yes. GPS return-to-home, headless mode and simple app controls make it easy to learn. But the lack of a gimbal means video is shaky, so it is better for practice than for serious filming.
Does it record true 8K video?
No. The 8K label refers to interpolated photo resolution. Video is recorded at 1080p or lower, and owners report soft, noisy footage.
How long can it fly?
The 3000 mAh battery gives about 25 minutes in calm conditions. Wind and aggressive flying reduce that time.
What is included in the box?
The kit includes the drone, a remote controller, one battery, a USB charging cable and a manual. A phone is not included and is needed for the app features.
Does it have obstacle avoidance?
Laser obstacle avoidance is optional and may not be included in every kit. Check the specific bundle before buying.
Can I use it with my phone?
Yes, via WiFi and the companion app for live view, gesture control and route planning. The app is basic and can be unstable.
Where is the RG601 MAX Drone cheapest?
At ProDrone, for $561.09, as of our latest check.
