Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Be warned!!!!! I read the reviews about this and was a little iffy on buying. I am a professional videographer and boy do I have a story to tell about this. I did all of my research, compass calibration, system updates, remote calibration, you name it. GPS wouldn't catch a signal for a week (so i didn't end up flying it... YET) I figured it was my location. I went to a wide open field, about a half mile in radius, clear if any interference (telephone wires, satellite dishes, etc) and it took about 5 minutes to blink green and then red 3 times (5 or less satellites connected) which you should always wait for a steady green (7 or more satellites connected) I re-calibrated the compass and made sure the home location was set for insurance reasons in hope of anything going wrong I can just throw it into return home mode. After all was set I lifted it about 5 feet hovering for about 30 seconds, then I decided to give it a little thrust, let go and it just kept going right into a tree about 200 feet away. Mind you that I released the throttle about a second after I pressed it. Figured it was me that did something wrong considering it was my first time flying. Tried it a second time, hovered it for about 10 seconds and UP it went (by itself). So high that I couldn't even see it, thought $1,500 just flew away with my go-pro. About the longest 30 seconds of my life went by and saw a spec free falling in the sky, landed right in the middle of a concrete driveway and broke into a few pieces. Luckily the go-pro survived. But that was it, no more drones for me (at least until they perfect them) and do some homework if your going to disregard what I am saying. Look up fly-away prevention if you are going to buy. Not recommended at all!!!! Amazon wanted to exchange it but they accepted the return after a few more phone calls, so thats what my 1 star is for. Decent customer service. Look this up, it is a common problem, I did my homework and followed everything carefully. I cant believe a company is able to sell a product so dangerous with all of these issues arising, and yes I say dangerous because it could've fallen on a car, a person or gone through someones window. I saw one video where this guy had $120,000 lawsuit and no insurance. Poor guy. BTW their customer service (at the manufacturer) is horrible.
