How to check if my device will work well with the Dronelink app before purchasing an account?

  • Updated

Download the free Dronelink app, connect your drone to check for the video preview and run a confetti performance test to test your device performance.

It is possible to download and install the free Dronelink app, and connect your drone to check device compatibility without a Dronelink account login or paid plan.

You will only be able to access the Flight Dashboard for manual flights and access the flight dashboard settings menu to run the Confetti performance test.

 

 

Check Lists of Low Performance Devices

Check for your devices in this crowd-sourced list of low performance devices, or this list of legacy iOS devices to avoid.

 

Fast and Smooth Confetti

Make sure to let the below gifs load fully. If not fully loaded, it will behave like a low performance device.

Once fully loaded, this is how smooth / fast confetti looks like. If confetti is slow motion, or choppy, your device is likely not performant enough.
