Great flyer - some privacy concerns
I own two other drones - a little tiny drone and a largish drone, this one is right in the middle. In comparison to the other two drones, this one flies just as well and has basically the same features (altitude hold, headless mode, emergency stop, 3d flips...). However, my large drone is a little too big to fly in the house, and my tiny drone is a little too small to be satisfying. This one has the right amount of gravitas to maintain a sense of excitement, but not so big that you're worried about the rotors destroying your house. Overall I don't have any complaints, and there are some nice features baked into the remote control that I haven't seen in other makes/models. However, I one serious concern. The phone app needed to run the camera asks for way too many permissions (android app name: HSS2 FPV). It wants access to Device & app history, Location, Photos/Media/Files, wi-fi connection information, bluetooth connection information, device ID and call information. Too much for me accept so I won't install the app -- kinda sucks that I won't be able to use the camera, but that's not really what I use the drone for. But be aware of this if you want to use the camera. In retrospect, I didn't hype the remote control enough. It really is leaps and bounds better than the other two I have. Solid improvement other older models. Also the plug and play battery is an awesome improvement over other models. Much easier to swap and a lot sleeker looking.
