Main Features

While many drones offer basic aerial photography, the Ruko F11PRO 2 transforms you into a true director of your life story. With its impressive 6K camera and 4K/30fps video capabilities, you’ll capture your unique experiences in stunning detail.

I’m especially impressed by the premium Sony lens that reveals finer details and richer textures than standard lenses, making your everyday moments look truly cinematic.

The 3-axis brushless gimbal redefines stability, delivering professional-level footage even in windy conditions. You’ll appreciate the drone’s lightweight, low-noise design that creates a more enjoyable flying experience without disturbing others nearby.

For safety and compliance, the F11PRO 2 features built-in Remote ID technology, broadcasting its location and identification information as required in many regions.

This guarantees you’re flying responsibly while authorities can monitor drone activity, creating a safer shared airspace for everyone.

What’s Included

The impressive technical capabilities of the F11PRO 2 are matched by its extensive package contents. When you unbox your new drone, you’ll find everything needed to get flying immediately.

I’m especially pleased that Ruko includes two flight batteries with the F11PRO 2, doubling your potential flight time without additional purchases. The package also contains essential data cables that connect your remote controller to your phone, allowing you to view real-time footage and access advanced features.

You’ll also receive a Type-C charging cable for convenient battery recharging, plus a set of spare propellers for when accidents inevitably happen (trust me, they will).

The thorough user manual makes setup straightforward, with a PDF version available online if you prefer digital documentation.

Of course, the remote controller itself rounds out the package, giving you precise control over your new aerial photography platform.

Physical Design and Layout

Ruko’s F11PRO 2 showcases a sleek, Autel-inspired design with smooth curves that both look professional and serve aerodynamic purposes.

I’m impressed by the two frontal LEDs that double as obstacle avoidance sensors, similar to those found on the EVO Lite and Nano models.

The drone’s compact dimensions are convenient for travel—just 6.5×3.54×2.56″ when folded, expanding to 13.78×15.16×2.56″ in flight mode.

On the underside, you’ll find an optical flow sensor for stable hovering, while status lights positioned under the rear landing skids provide visibility.

I appreciate the thoughtful battery placement at the tail, accommodating the 2s 3200mAh power source.

The included handbag is brilliantly designed, fitting the drone, controller, and up to three batteries, with a zippered pocket for accessories.

Camera Performance

Sporting a 6K UHD camera, the F11 PRO 2 delivers impressive visual capabilities for its price point. I found the 3-axis gimbal effectively stabilizes footage, preventing drone vibrations from compromising your shots.

You’ll appreciate the smooth video quality whether you’re a casual photographer or more serious videographer.

The drone offers several recording options: 4K@30fps, 2.7K@50fps, 2.7K@30fps (smooth), or 2K@50fps (smooth). Photos can reach resolutions up to 5700×3200 pixels, and the 5x digital zoom helps frame distant subjects.

You can adjust the camera angle from -90° to 0° for versatile shooting perspectives.

I did notice some annoying horizontal lines appearing on the sides of footage under certain conditions, likely caused by propeller reflections interacting with the CMOS sensor’s line-by-line scanning.

Unfortunately, Ruko doesn’t provide specifications for sensor size, EFL, FOV, or aperture—information photography enthusiasts might miss.

Still photos are phenomenal, regardless of the resolution that you have it set at. Take a look at the photos above and see for yourself. The colors and details are incredibly vivid and accurate, providing incredible image quality all-around.

Flight Time

Impressive 70-minute potential flight time stands out as one of the F11PRO 2’s strongest features. This extended air time comes from two included 2S 3200mAh lithium-ion polymer batteries, each delivering between 20-35 minutes depending on your flying style and conditions.

During my testing, I achieved nearly 35 minutes in a hovering battery test, though I wouldn’t recommend depleting batteries to 1% as I did. Over-discharging considerably reduces battery lifespan.

In real-world use, expect about 20-25 minutes when flying aggressively or in windy conditions, and up to 35 minutes during casual flights in calm weather.

Each battery takes approximately 120 minutes to charge – standard for this drone category. The batteries feature four charging level indicators, a power switch, and a Type-C charging port for convenience.

With both batteries, you’ll enjoy substantial flight sessions with minimal downtime between charges.

Remote Control and Range

The compact remote controller for the F11PRO 2 offers both functionality and convenience with its thoughtful design elements.

I especially appreciate the built-in rectangle phone holder and removable stick ends that store neatly at the bottom of the controller. The status screen is a standout feature, displaying essential telemetry data including flight distance, altitude, speed mode, and recording status.

You’ll find dedicated Take-off/Land, Speed, and Power buttons on the front panel for quick access.

The controller features dual USB-C ports—one connects to your phone while the other charges the radio, which typically lasts for 2-3 flights.

In my range testing, I achieved impressive results. While Ruko advertises a 10,000 ft range, I managed to reach 2,638 meters (8,803 ft) before RTH was triggered.

The video feed remained stable until about 1,700 meters, where it became somewhat laggy. Foggy conditions may have affected these results.

Flight Performance

When put to the test across challenging environments, the Ruko F11PRO 2 demonstrated remarkable resilience and consistent performance. I pushed this drone through extreme temperatures as low as -10°C/14°F and especially windy conditions, yet it maintained stability throughout.

The drone offers two flight speed modes: “Stable” for beginners and “Sport” for more experienced pilots. Don’t expect racing speeds or exceptional agility since this isn’t an FPV drone, but it performs reliably within its class.

The front LED lights prove especially useful during dawn or dusk flights, enhancing visibility greatly.

I’m impressed with the safety features, especially the automatic return-to-home function if connection is lost—I tested this personally and it worked flawlessly.

The GPS acquisition is outstanding, consistently connecting to 30+ satellites in my area. If you’re in a region requiring Remote ID compliance, I recommend verifying proper functionality using the free OpenDroneID OSM app for Android.

Ruko MINI APP

While the drone’s flight capabilities stand out on their own, controlling the F11PRO 2 reaches another level with its dedicated app.

Though you can pilot using just the remote controller’s built-in LCD, I’d strongly recommend downloading the Ruko MINI app to access the drone’s full potential.

The app’s interface displays critical flight data – battery levels, GPS status, distance, altitude, and speed – giving you complete situational awareness.

What I find especially useful are the camera enhancements like Split Screen, Night Mode, Zoom capabilities, and Instagram-style filters that elevate your aerial photography.

The autonomous flight modes truly transform your experience.

With GPS Follow, the drone tracks your movements; Orbit Flight creates perfect circular paths around subjects; and Route Planning lets you pre-program flight paths.

Beyond flying, you’ll appreciate access to video tutorials, manuals, warranty details, and direct customer support through WhatsApp – everything you need in one place.

Final Thoughts

I’ve found the Ruko F11PRO 2 to be an exceptional drone for both beginners and experienced pilots. Its 6K camera and 3-axis gimbal deliver stunning aerial footage, while the impressive 70-minute flight time keeps me in the air longer.

Despite its professional-grade features, it’s remarkably user-friendly. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance drone that doesn’t require expert skills, I can’t recommend the F11PRO 2 enough.
