Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros: Amazing video quality (in goggles and recorded) Incredible range Cool sensors, RTH, and Turtle Mode Great for recording action video (such as recording other race drones or sporting events) Cons: Completely proprietary (drone must use included goggles and transmitter) Transmitter cannot be used with anything else (even the DJI Air unit or Caddx Vista) Goggles can be used with DJI Air unit but will lose pairing with the FPV drone (can only pair one or the other) Not agile enough to be a competitive race drone Have to download an app on a mobile phone and digitally register/update all three components before the product will work BIGGEST ISSUE: DJI will not sell necessary parts to the public if it crashes!!! WHAT???!!! In summation, DJI considers this a race drone but if you are racing you will crash and need to replace parts. It is just part of the hobby, and this is true even if you aren’t racing. DJI won't sell necessary parts. I’ve been flying RC for over 25 years and the hobby shop owner who sold me my first plane said “Remember one thing. It’s not a matter of if you crash, it’s a matter of when. So I’ll see you soon.” I saw him again the next week. The point is that in any RC hobby you need to fix/modify/work on your own equipment. DJI robs you of that. Their only answer is that if you need a repair you must send in your drone. They will charge you $65 to assess the damage and then will charge you for parts, labor, and return shipping. They also will not give you estimates before you send it to them, even if you explain what needs to be replaced. I lost video while flying one day and cut the throttle. The drone dropped probably about 20 ft. I tried through several emails, chats, and phone conversations to convince them to sell me the parts I need (literally only need a small LED board and an arm cap that screws on underneath the motor (quad still flies fine) and they flat out refused to do so. In addition, it seems that the customer service reps really don't know anything about their product. DJI has developed some amazing technology for racers and hobbyists in the areas of digital video quality with low latency, but it isn’t worth supporting a company who dictates that we are not allowed to fix a product we paid for and own. This is more of an expensive toy and not a race drone.
