Great Drone
on March 25, 2021
Posted by: Ttank
from Fort Myers, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little drone is wonderful. I like the sleekness of the drone and the features it has! The follow me feature is my favorite. The picture is great and the quality is wonderful. It is very durable! I crashed it a few times and it took the beating with no issue. The more I got the hang of it the easier it became to operate. It is not a difficult drone to fly! this is a wonderful product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My first!
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: Jellp
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this drone. I have not used one before so it is taking a few tries to get used to flying it. The first thing I did was try to use on top of the roof of the house. It’s a great toy for adult or teenagers.

Easy to use and amazing images
on April 3, 2021

from Mc Rae Helena, Ga
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The thing that caught my eye most about this drone is its compact size. I love the it comes with a storage case and that the wings fold it making it ultra small and easy to store.
It was very easy to control and operate. It is so smooth in the way that it moves. I'm amazed at who high it can go. The images it takes are amazing and clear. My kids and husband has really enjoyed it.
The only issue we have found is the battery life is not as long as indicated. But we are still very happy with it.

Fun drone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Price vs performance this drone is on point and would be a great drone for someone getting into the hobby especially with all of the auto features.
Pros:
Auto tilt and trim adjustments I love how easy it was to fly. I let my 7 year old niece take it for a spin and she was able to pick it up and fly it no problem.

Auto compensation for wind. took it out in 10+ mph winds on the coast and it held it's position.
Easily launches and lands you can drop it on a dime even with moderate wind.
Fast and responsive, automatically adjusts back to stop drift after moving
Functional VR fpv with low latency ( I did have to play with my phone and turn on full screen to get it to line up right)
Auto return to land function after disconnect works like a charm.
Good battery life, 15 min per battery and it comes with 2. I ended up picking up a couple extra for it pretty cheap too.
Cons:
I couldn't get the follow function to work. Might just be a phone setting but since I don't need it I didn't play around with it much

The camera has a lot of pixelation while moving. (This affects the video during drift compensation in wind also)
Once the drone loses signal and starts to return to land you can't stop it. You can control to move around objects, but it is coming down. I was considering launching it from a boat but this feature makes that really tricky.
I have noticed that if you try to fly up/through an opening narrower than 5 feet it will try to move away and can make flight unstable.
It sometimes has issues landing on uneven surfaces or mottled surfaces. It thinks it is uneven and takes off again. You can hit emergency off though once it is down and that stops it.
Knowing the limitations you can compensate for them pretty easily. it takes great arial still shots, has good fpv and flies really easily which is what I was looking for. Honestly this drone is one of my favorites.

Not a Toy. Quality drone a beginner can operate
on April 5, 2021
Posted by: MomofTwins
from Oakland, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a not a kid toy but for a beginner drone flyer, this one is good quality! First of all, it is necessary to read the manual and keep it near to refer to. There are several steps to set it up...charging, download app, calibrate horizontal and vertical...and light indicators to let you know when you've missed a step or something is not right. It took us a while to get ready to use and realize the necessity of the manual. The camera gives an amazing picture! There are also so many options that I look forward to exploring once I get more experience flying it. It is not a kids toy but a fun activity for the whole family!

Super fun!!

from SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I’ve ever owned a drone, and I wish I would’ve gotten one sooner! The instruction manual was easy to follow. Set up was simple and connecting a phone for recording videos was easy. I’m still learning to fly it, but so far, so good. It has held up in a couple of hard landings.

Flew great
on April 28, 2021
Posted by: Mackenzielynn1031
from Titusville Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera quality is nice and the process is easy to set up. It starts up nice, takes off smooth and lands perfect. I love how it has 32 minutes of flight time and you can go farther than other drones which is really cool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice starter drone
on April 28, 2021
Posted by: EllieHS
from North Port, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great drone for beginners in regards to ease of use. Out of the box, the directions are not good and don't include much for troubleshooting. Can't find much else online either. Once you get things figured out, it's not that difficult to use. It is definitely not very durable. Perhaps more expensive models are more sturdy and can withstand crashes. As long as you have extra blades on hand, you should be good.
