Some pros and cons of this small but powerfull drone

Some pros and cons of this small but powerfull drone
I have been testing the drone for at least one month now since the date I did purschase it. So far I consider it is a good option for the price.Some general comments:1- Battery last average if I compare it with other drones in the market.2- Camera is sufficient enough for recording some rapid things not that specifics. However there is one thing I really don't like and in future versions of this drone it needs to be improved. When you take pictures or record a short movie you will always see the front blade protectors. I did marked them with red in the picture I attached. The is no way to avoid them when you take snapshots.3- I don't consider this dron is recommended to be used outside. That since any change in wind direction will take to the grown. It is almost imposible to control it when that happen.4- turns backward and forward and also side to side are just great. Very easy to handle.5- I do love the flight modes. It is wasy to go fast and faster by just pushing the left control bar.Despite that it is very basic drone, it does what it is intented to. I really like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of features for the price. Easy to learn. Great for beginners.

The media could not be loaded.
 Overall I’ve had fun with this camera drone and I would recommend it as a great mini to learn with. It is easy to learn, flys the way you would expect and the on card video is pretty good. With some practice I expect the video will top what you will get from other drones twice the price. The attached video is my first trip outside with the drone after a couple of short inside sessions.

What I like
- no assembly. The only thing needed to fly is to read the instructions and maybe watch some YouTube videos.
- A lot of features for the price. Wi-Fi. Variable speed motors. Nice camera. Mobile app.
- Easy to start with it inside and move outside with some practice.
- Nice light indicators on the drone and controller to let you know what’s on or off.
What needs improvement
- Longer battery life and faster charge time. That comes with the newer models so i get it
- The video that records on the mobile app tends to be a choppy version of what gets recorded on the SD card.
- There is a good amount of drift making it a challenge sometimes to hover in place. Maybe this comes with practice using the trim controls? Calibrate didn’t seem to do much.
- Audio would be nice.

What you need to know.
- buy a couple additional batteries. You’ll have more fly time and fun.
- 32 GB is the maximum microSD card capacity supported.
- start inside so you don’t risk it getting away from you outside before you’ve figured out the controls. I only spent 30 minutes inside learning the controls so it’s not a huge investment of time.

Ok I don't write reviews often, but this little quadcopter really held it's own. I am a completely brand new drone pilot, and slammed this little guy in just about every surface in my house. And you know what little guy just kept getting up to fly again. A list of punishment, this received before completely dieing.
1. Slapped out of the sky by the ceiling fan.
2. Again slapped out the sky by the ceiling fan. ( I was learning)
3. A brief but fullly submerged trip into the swimming pool.
4. A second breif but full pool adventure.
5. Stuck it on roof overnight
6. Oh so many walls.
This little guys just kept getting up and ready to fly.

Easy to set up
App is iffy
Fly pretty much out of the box.
Three speeds really made learning easier.
Extra blades.
Wish I could have found more batteries I burned thru maybe 10 recharges.

Fun for a beginner if you are not looking to sink in a ton of cash, but learn some basic flying.

Sadly mine finelly stopped working after about thirty minutes on the bottom of the pool.(the third adventure in the pool.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun drone to fly. Do not expect professional looking photos or long flight times
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2019

This drone is a lot of fun to fly and sits firmly in the high-end toy range. The features on the drone are comparable to others in this price point. Do not expect to use this to be used for aerial photography like higher end drones using gimbles and image stabilizaion software as these features are not included. If you are an experienced drone flyer capable of controlling a drone without GPS stabilizaion you can capture closeup photos using this drone. I find it better suited for wide aerial shots and VR/FPV video. Overall it is a fun little drone to fly. At top speed it is impressive and capable of banking and switching directions within approximately 24 inches.

What I like:
1. Snappy and responsive allowing for high speed flight and maneuvering.
2. Powerful enough to withstand moderate wind although it requires continuous adjustment in wind due to the low weight.
3. Battery is interchangeable and can be charged in the drone or separately when removed with a micro-usb plug. This allows for more flight time without waiting for the drone to charge and also allows you to charge backup batteries using any USB plug or battery backup.
4. It has a Micro SD card slot for shooting video or photos without worrying about wifi lag.
5. Comes with a controller.
6. The remote holds my phone fimly and is relatively easy to mount the phone on top.
7. Headless mode, return to home, altitude hold and emergency landing features are nice touches and all work well.
8. Batteries can be charged inside or outside of the drone. This allows for them to be plugged into a portable power bank immediately after removing them.
9. The Skyview app works well and gives the user a lot of customizatin optins. It also works well for flying although I find the controller to be more responsive.

What I don’t like:
1. The controller is not labelled so without the manual or previous experience with similar remotes you would not know what each button or combination controls.
2. Charging in the drone can be hit or miss. I find it easier to charge the batteries outside of the drone. This is really not an issue because with the short battery life you are likely charging batteries while fying.
3. Trimming seems to be required every few flights on my drone. As the battery life is relatively short this eats into an already short flight time.

General Observations/Expected at this price point:
1. 720p resolution on the camera is only good for landscape pictures that you do not plan to zoom.Even selfes at this resolution cannot be zoomed without being blurry. This resolution is acceptable for VR and FPV though which appears to be the intent.
2. There is no gimble for stabilization of photos and the small drone can take a beating in wind resulting in even more blurring.
3. The wifi connection can be spotty when flying resulting in some pictures coming back interrupted.
4. Battery life can be expected to be between 4-7 minutes depending on the flying conditions. The good thing is that if you order more batteries you can just keep flying.

While we're not kids, hubby & I enjoy photography and when drones with cameras became more reasonably priced we researched a few different models. Since this was going to be our first foray into flying a drone (or anything else for that matter lol) we wanted something easy to use to see if we'd like it. It turns out... we love it! This little drone is so much fun! We had the greatest success using the handheld controller since it's much like a video game device. The directions are very clear with great illustrations. Admittedly, we've crashed a few times but surprisingly haven't sustained any damage and in turn are quite impressed with the durability. The photo is a still taken from the drone. Snapping pics is fun and we have a great time reviewing them to see how we did. Every time we take it out, we get a little better with its control. It really is a lot of fun & our neighbors enjoy flying it as well. We're going to bring it out for an upcoming bbq & have a feeling it'll make for a fun afternoon/evening and strike up great conversations.
