There is quite a bit of controversy regarding whether or not Blade 720 Drone is a scam or legit.

Official Site: Blade720.Pro

Created less than a few weeks ago, Blade 720 Drone has endured a sincere sum of scrutiny from the online drone community about being a ‘scam.’

To learn more regarding the Blade 720 Drone “Scam” along with the shady entity who is backing this misleading Blade 720 Drone campaign we invite you to read our unbiased review.

What is Blade 720 Drone?

Blade 720 Drone is marketed as a highly discounted performance foldable drone.

Allegedly retailing for $199.98, the Blade 720 Drone is reflecting a 50% discount per unit and can be purchased for $99.99.

Features

  • Foldable
  • 10 minute battery life
  • Speed of up to 12 meters per second
  • Top transmission range of 2km
  • Altitude Hold Mode
  • Anti-Collision System (allegedly prevents drone from ground or in-flight collisions)
  • 3D VD Mode (joystick to better control your drone)
  • High-quality video (this is been a complaint amongst consumers)
  • Panorama Mode
  • USB Charging Port

While most cameras are 4K compatible this day and age, according to consumer feedback the Blade 720 Drone camera is more along the lines of 720p.

Additional consumer reviews also state that the Blade 720 Drone reflects a flight-time of only 8 minutes, possesses a range less than 75 feet while the speed is HIGHLY exaggerated.

We tried to verify the authenticity of MDE Commerce Ltd through a Malta Business Registry but unfortunately the page lead us to a 404 Error Page.

According to OpenCorporates, MDE Commerce Ltd. was incorporated on June 4th, 2018 and is filed under Company Number C86613.

MDE Commerce Ltd is the same ‘corporate entity’ behind the MadDeals, MegaDeals and EcoCharge Hoaxes – all of which reflected highly discounted consumers goods like a Maxclean robot cleaner and an eco-chargeable battery pack.

Shipping & Returns

It it obvious that the return policy regarding Blade 720 Drone was taken from a different site and implemented into the framework on their policy.

“Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned.”

Since the only item for retail is a Blade 720 Drone, it obviously doesn’t fit.
This is the same return policy found at EcoCharge.Pro, a known retail hoax pretending to offer eco-chargeable battery packs.

Evidently a much bigger network is overseeing a wide number of select discount retail opportunities such as the EcoCharge, MaxClean Robot Cleaner and the Blade 720 Drone.

Blade 720 Drone Reviews

Shared below are some reviews we found regarding Blade 720 Drone at the UKClimbing Forum:

“I’d definitely say scam.  Photos seem to be very slightly photoshopped images of a DJI Mavic, the returns page talks about them not accepting health and personal care items back.”

“Somewhat bizarrely, the Terms of Use has a range of irrelevancies which rather suggest a cut-and-paste from an unrelated site. Personally, I would’t touch it with a bargepole. “

“my uncle bought one of these for my brother for his birthday. He likes nature photography and video and we thought this would be an inexpensive way to dip his toe into drones.  Now, I can’t officially call it a scam, because a piece of electronic equipment did show up at his house.  Remember another adage: You get what you pay for.  Cheap is the right word for this thing.  Our first indication should have been the 720p camera.  I mean 4K is pretty much standard now. This camera isn’t even good at 720p. The image stability is awful, the focus is soft, and as far as we can tell, it’s a fixed lens. On top of that, their other claims are bogus too. The range is less than 75 feet. The speed is nothing like 50Kph and we flew for about 8 minutes in absolutely calm conditions.  Because it only has a USB charger it takes a long time to prepare for another 8 Minute flight, so if you did decide to buy this cheap toy, I would buy extra batteries. It’s light enough that when it fell to the grass it didn’t break, but I wouldn’t want it to fall onto concrete.  I would tell your kids to do their research, and be ready to pay a little extra.  I will say that all three of us agreed that we would have had a great time if not so frustrated with the drone.  We’re looking into getting a better one. My brother lives in New Brunswick on the St. Lawrence, and there are lots of great opportunities to get some good shots.”

We are unable to find any other feedback pertaining to the Blade 720 Drone.

Domain Insight

Blade720Drone.com was privately registered on July 12th, 2019 through the NameCheap, Inc registrar.

During the time of writing this review (July 31st, 2019), Blade720Drone.com failed to reflect any web rankings with SimilarWeb, a market intelligence website.

We suspect that Blade 720 Drone is making rounds through social media outlets, or that is atleast how the operators affiliated with the unverified MDE Commerce Ltd. corporation in the past have lured consumers into their site.

Is Blade720Drone.com a Scam?

Blade 720 Drone appears to be operated by an entity who is responsible for retail hoaxes in the past that have yet to deliver on the promises of their merchandise.

With that being said we do not believe Blade 720 Drone is a scam BUT it is certainly a deceptive retail offer that should be avoided.

Blade 720 Drone Review Conclusion

If you were looking to purchase a drone through Blade720Drone.com just remember the adage that you get what you pay for.

Affiliated with MDE Commerce LTD, who is responsible for a handful of retail hoaxes that we know of, the items that you see featured for sale aren’t likely worth your time or money.

While consumers report receiving theirs products, they tend to fall drastically short of the claims presented amongst many affiliate websites along with their own sites.

With these facts in mind we do not recommend the Blade 720 Drone for those looking for a worthwhile drone.

Verdict: Blade 720 Drone Should Be Purchased at OWN Risk!

    This is what they’re selling for $99.00…… ebay.com/itm/2019-2-4G-1080P-Foldable-RC-Drone-HD-Camera-Selfie-WIFI-FPV-Follow-Me-Quadcopter/312705684841

    Almost got sucked in to this scam. Thank you ScamFinance for your warning. What amazes me is this scam continues. If it’s a scam, which is certainly appears to be, why is it allowed to continue? I got sucked in on YouTube. Why can’t YouTube at least prevent this ad from airing on their platform? YouTube sensors virtually any free speech challenging their elite agenda yet can’t perform such an obvious intervention on behalf of their viewership. YouTube totally sucks! Definitely a New World Order, Agenda 2030, fascist organization.

      I got sucked in through YouTube and have regretted it. The drone arrived, the instructions do not match the actual model sent, I assembled it, charged the battery did a test flight and the battery went flat after approx 3 minutes. Charged again and still the same. I contacted the the supplier through email and they suggested I go buy a replacement battery!!!!! I asked them to supply one and they offered me 20% discount to buy one but they wouldn’t supply. How the ….. does that work. I tried to get the camera to work and the software wanted complete access to my phone, when I refused the only instructions on screen then went to Chinese. I contacted them to return the product as ‘not fit for purpose’ and I was emailed with return instructions. Guess what, the return address is in China. Xiao Xing, Guangdong, China. It will cost me as much as the machine to send it back. Youtube has a responsibility to stop these people. Please, please don’t buy this load of trash

        I agree. It is a cheap plastic toy at best. It is not a $199.00 or $99.00 dollar drone. You can buy this for $20 at a hobby shop or toy store. DO NOT BUY…FALSLY ADVETISED…A PIECE OF JUNK! PACAKAGED IN STYROFOM AND PLACE IN AN ENVELOPE…INSTRUCTION MANAUAL READ AS NONSENCE…ORDERED CAMERA UPGRADE AND GOT NOTHING! RETURN ADDRESS IS IN CHINA!
        !

      • George Ramos

        WOW! I came SO CLOSE to pressing the purchase button! I filled everything out (once sucked in by YouTube Video of it) and just prior to pressing “purchase” I hesitated and thought I would see what others say about it! OH MAN DID I LUCK OUT TO FIND THIS SITE!!!!

    Thanks for all these responses, especially the one that details the ad content (“said they don’t advertise…in an ad!” or something like that). I, too, am in a situation where I don’t have extra $ to spend. Glad you saved me $99 USD.

    • john

      im here because of the ad on youtube too. i’ve been thinking about getting into the drone game but was looking for one reasonably priced. glad i did some research first.

    • Jake B.

      I had a laugh at their claim that they haven’t spent a dime on advertising – in a flashy YouTube ad. Their sister scam, the “Skye” drone or some such, told me to “click the button bellow” (sic) to go to their website.

      Oh yeah, that totally inspires confidence. Maybe they should have sprung for better proof-reading in their ad, I dunno. Call me old-fashioned, but it seems like that would have been worth a few advertising dollars.

    i got my drone but it took 3 weeks to receive in the mean time i found a smoking deal on a similar drone on amazon which was marked down to 60$ and i purchased this one because i have prime i didn’t pay shipping either. i got this drone from amazon before my blade 720 came and had been testing it out. few days later i received my blade 720 package in a non-descriptive package.
    this is where it gets good the amazon drone i purchased is the EXACT same model the only difference is the controller sent. the drone 720 is actually a “E58 pocket drone” if you want one without the wait time, extra money they charge and hassle just hit up amazon!

  5. Mike OLIVE

    I have just received my Drone 720. I also paid for a camera upgrade, but I am waiting to be told if it has been installed already. I expected a black case to be included in the price, but I have been told that it has to be ordered separately.

  6. mike

    The directions are garbled chinese….it tells you “not to charge the carpet”….what? Do they also sell a “carpet charger”? Nonsense… You can’t read the directions ….very poor writing…

  7. Shane

    Not having received delivery of my Blade720 after 37 days, I lodged a dispute with my Bank and the transaction is hopefully being reversed.

  8. Shane

    I have ordered the Blade 720 on 31 July 2019.
    It is now 6 Sep 2019 and I have not heard from them.

  9. Myrianthy Boudouris

    My Wife bought and paid for a Blade 720 Drone via their “official website.” It is a big scam, as I have not received it, and they do not come back to you. It was ordrered on 1st August and it is now 5th September, and no sign of the Drone, and NO response from their helpline. BEWARE IT IS A BIG SCAM.
