The Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus will be released in early May. Wear Tested will be able to test and review the drone after it is made available to us then.
The F11PRO 2 was Ruko’s best-built drone to date. The Plus model upgrades three things decisively: night photography, camera resolution, and transmission range.
Overview of Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus
The original Ruko F11PRO 2 launched with a 6K/8MP camera, 3-axis mechanical gimbal, GPS positioning, and roughly 35-minute flight times. Drone pilots praised its build quality and flight stability but consistently flagged the camera as underperforming for its price point – particularly in low light and when compared to DJI alternatives.
The Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus targets those gaps directly. It keeps the structural strengths (gimbal, GPS, portability, smart modes) and makes targeted upgrades to imaging hardware, night-shooting capability, and the transmission system. It’s the same drone, rebuilt around a fundamentally better camera and link.
“The Plus jumps a full generation in camera hardware – from 8MP/6K to 48MP/8K – and introduces dedicated night photography that the original could not credibly claim.”

Why the Three Upgrades Matter on Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus
Night Photography
The F11PRO 2’s 8MP sensor with ISO 1600 produced noisy, detail-poor results in low light – a recurring complaint in independent reviews. The F11PRO 2 Plus addresses this with a dedicated night mode that manages dynamic range, noise reduction, and brightness balance simultaneously. For dusk/dawn golden-hour shots, backyard events, or city skylines after sunset, this is the single biggest quality-of-life change.
48MP / 8K Photos
More megapixels don’t automatically mean better images, but 48MP at 8K opens up post-processing options that simply weren’t possible at 8MP/6K: heavy cropping without resolution loss, large-print outputs, and AI upscaling workflows that need source detail to work from. It also signals a fundamentally newer sensor with better base noise characteristics.
6KM/20K Ft. Digital Transmission
The original Wi-Fi-based link was functional close-in but degraded quickly with distance, obstacles, or radio congestion. Digital transmission is architecturally more robust – lower latency, stronger anti-interference, and cleaner video throughput. The 6KM/20,000 feet range figure assumes unrestricted flight conditions, but even at 1–2KM the stability difference versus Wi-Fi is perceptible.
Bottom Line of Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus
The Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus is a targeted upgrade, not a cosmetic refresh. The move to 48MP/8K and genuine night photography repositions the drone from a “budget 4K flyer” to a capable aerial camera. The 6KM digital transmission improves range and live-feed quality simultaneously. If you’re buying a new drone, the F11PRO 2 Plus is the clear choice at this price tier. If you own the base F11PRO 2 and shoot in low light or at distance, the upgrade is worth evaluating seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between the Ruko F11PRO 2 and the F11PRO 2 Plus?
The Plus upgrades the camera from 8MP/6K to 48MP/8K, adds ultra-clear night shot capability, extends transmission range from ~3KM Wi-Fi to 6KM digital, improves wind resistance from Level 5 to Level 6, and adds OTA firmware updates plus three RTH modes versus one.
Does the Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus take good photos at night?
Yes. Night photography is one of its three headline features. The drone produces sharp, low-noise images with balanced brightness even in minimal ambient light – a meaningful upgrade from the base F11PRO 2.
How far can the Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus fly from the controller?
Up to 6 kilometers (approximately 3.7 miles) via digital transmission, measured under unrestricted flight conditions. The original F11PRO 2 reached roughly 3KM on its Wi-Fi-based link.
Is the Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus good for beginners?
Yes. It retains one-key takeoff/landing, GPS Return-to-Home, and beginner mode from the original. OTA updates mean the drone improves over time automatically. The 37-minute per-battery flight time reduces pressure during the learning phase.
What smart flight modes does the F11PRO 2 Plus support?
Follow Me (GPS), Orbit Flight, Waypoint Planning, and Cruise Control. The original F11PRO 2 did not include Cruise Control.
Does the Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus require FAA registration?
Yes – it weighs over 250g and requires FAA registration for all use cases. A Remote ID module is built in, so registration is straightforward.
Is the Ruko F11PRO 2 Plus worth upgrading from the F11PRO 2?
For users who shoot aerial photos regularly or in challenging lighting, yes – the camera jump is significant. For pilots who fly mostly outdoors in daylight at short range, the gains are real but less critical. The digital transmission upgrade benefits nearly everyone regardless of use case.
