The X Plus One is the first drone I have ever flown. Assembly was relatively simple - especially once I read through the instructions completely. B- )
My expectations were that this would be challenging so I started very slow. There was a bit of a breeze which I knew was going to make it even harder, but my son and I were too excited to wait.
It certainly started off a bit rough and had a couple small crashes, but nothing catastrophic. Within 30 minutes, I was able to take off well, hover pretty smoothly and land without incident, even with the slight breeze.
As I became more confident, I took the drone higher (~40-50 feet). At one point, I started to lose control a bit and decided to be amazing and do a flip to come out of the wobble. Turns out I was way too close to the ground and I basically did a nose dive. Ahh!! My son was on the verge of tears but we grabbed the drone and went home.
I contacted XCraft support and they have been amazing!! They were able to help me get every part I needed to get back into the air and even helped me understand more about the craft.
As much as I enjoy the drone itself, my 5-star review is just as much about the company and support. I can't say enough about how helpful they have been and how much fun we're having with the drone.
Once I get more confident with the drone, I'll transition to forward flight and may even get the gimbal for the camera.
