Why you’ll love the K12 MAX

✅ Create native vertical video, instantly.

Switch between 16:9 and 9:16 at the tap of a button so every shot is framed for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts—without manual cropping.

📺 Fly faster with the screen-equipped remote.

Fly faster with the screen-equipped remote—no app setup required. Add the app when you want advanced features like trajectory flight, gesture capture, and sharing tools.

🛡️ Fly with more confidence.

Multi-directional obstacle awareness (front/top/side) and optical-flow hovering assist safer framing—always within VLOS and pilot judgment.

💨 Enjoy powerful & quiet flight.

Equipped with high-performance brushless motors, the K12 MAX delivers more power, better wind resistance, lower noise, and a much longer lifespan than standard brushed-motor drones.

Our honest guide: please read before you buy

• Obstacle Awareness is an Aid: The sensors are an auxiliary feature to help prevent collisions. They are not foolproof and may not work on glass, in bright sunlight, or in low light. The pilot is always responsible for safety.
• Camera System Explained: This drone has one primary camera for shooting. The other "lenses" are sensors for navigation and obstacle awareness. It is not a "triple camera" shooting drone.
• Bottom Camera: The camera on the bottom of the drone is only for Optical Flow Positioning and preview; it is not used for high-resolution recording.
• Performance Notes: Live preview, control range, and flight time all depend on your specific environment, device, and settings.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: How does the native 9:16 vertical capture work?

A: You switch between 16:9 and 9:16 at the tap of a button. It is a native capture mode, meaning you get the full frame for TikTok or Reels without manual cropping.

Q: What is the *real* video quality?

A: The drone shoots clear 1080p video, which is perfect for social media. The "4K Photo" spec (noted in Specs) is interpolated (software-enhanced), not native 4K.

Q: What is the difference between FPV range and Control range?

A: The live video feed (FPV) has a max range of 30–40 m (under ideal conditions). The remote control has a max range of 80–100 m. This means your video feed may cut out *before* the drone flies out of control range.

Q: Do I have to use my phone?

A: No! You can fly 100% using only the included remote with its built-in screen. You only need the app if you want to use features like trajectory flight or gesture capture.

Q: Is the K12 MAX good for a complete beginner?

A: Yes. This is an excellent beginner drone thanks to its built-in screen remote (easy setup), optical flow hover (stability), and multi-directional obstacle awareness (assistive safety).

Fly safe & legal (compliance)

Please fly responsibly. Keep your drone within visual line of sight (VLOS), check current airspace status, respect privacy, avoid crowds and restricted areas, and perform pre-flight checks. Before each flight, confirm your aircraft’s final take-off weight, class/marking, and purpose of use (recreational vs. commercial), then follow the rules that apply in your location.

United Kingdom (CAA)

• Confirm the IDs required for your setup. You may need a Flyer ID (online theory test) and/or an Operator ID depending on weight, camera, and class/marking. Review the CAA Drone Code and the latest registration guidance before flying.

United States (FAA)

• Determine which rules apply to your flight. Recreational flyers must follow safety guidelines and complete the TRUST test. Non-recreational (Part 107) operations require certification and registration. Check current requirements for registration, Remote ID (RID), and controlled-airspace authorization (e.g., LAANC) on official FAA resources.

European Union (EASA)

• Operate under the Open category (A1/A2/A3) as applicable to your scenario and your drone’s class marking (C0–C4). Check when Remote ID is required, and review national geo-zones and local notices before each flight. Refer to official EASA guidance for details.
