The drone worked in all aspects and was easy to get started
This was my 1st drone. I wanted a cheap one to learn on in case I crashed it or lost it. I lost it. The drone worked in all aspects and was easy to get started. I read the instructions, and flew it in my office to test it. It took just a few minutes to put the blades on and get the battery in. I took it outside and flew it over my building in a business district. I noticed right away the wind is a concern even if you don't feel it. The controls worked and the drone was responsive. It connected to my android (settings, wifi, give it a minute) then start the app and shoot videos. I took it to my acre of jungle that I'm getting ready to build a cabin on (this was the main purpose for getting a drone, to fly over the land and study the video). The first 2 times was good, but the 3rd time it must have got caught in the wind and drifted south. Because of the heavily wooded area, there was little chance of recovery. It's very light and while I felt no wind at ground level, there was some over the trees. So find a big field to fly it, not in the jungle. It is very light and you will lose it. I've got 4 extra batteries. Maybe I'll buy another for the grand kids. A full battery will get you about 5 minutes flying. Since the camera is fixed, you're limited to what you can do. All said, it's a good learning experience and a fun toy, but not for the serious. It's worth the price, but keep it close to base.
