Before I made this purchase, I did a lot of research with different camera drones around this price range. And this one stood out amongst the others regarding features and functionality. I've read through a lot of mixed reviews regarding this drone, and most of the negative reviews regard their customer service being awful. Luckily I haven't had any issues with the drone for the need of customer support. Upon unboxing the drone, I had to go through the charging/ registration process, which was fairly easy, except for the disconnect/reconnect of the wifi for the drone, because I have a wifi only tablet, but no big deal. Had a few hiccups with the calibration process, but that was due to the fact that I live near a lot of metal structures. I find that some calibration errors could be fixed just by turning the drone 180 degrees. First initial flight was impressive, this thing is pretty stable when hovering in gps mode. I also fly in atti mode, just to familiarize myself with manual control of this uav. As for distance, I was getting about 1500 ft before video or signal would drop. Just make sure you set your return to altitude higher than the area your flying in. It'll save your drone from crashing into the trees. I modified the controller for further flying distances, along with a sunhans booster for video, and I couldn't be happier, and still a lot cheaper than a phantom 4. Familiarize yourself with the controls, and this thing is amazingly fun. Best of luck future uav pilots

I had been reading upon and watching the prices on this particular drone. At Christmas time it went on sale so I purchased it. This is my first drone so yes there is a lot of info needed to learn but then again there are forums and You Tube that are excellent sources of help to answer questions, as for this particular drone the camera is amazing and the distance is decent too. The battery will last you about 20-25 minutes so you will want to buy another one . As for accessories for this model as well as the rest of the Phantom family, there are a lot of items to choose from. Once again this is a really nice middle of the road drone for a fair price.

This is my first quad copter and it's an amazing machine. Very simple to fly and the camera is incredible. Hard to believe that this is an introductory model. For someone that doesn't want to spend a ton, this is the way to get started!

I am in love with this quad copter drone. Right out of the box, the intuitive settings and fail safes made me look like I had been flying it for years. I have been doing landscapes, houses, stuff with my kids, you name it. I am eager to "outgrow" this drone to move on to the next level with a 4K camera. Couldn't recommend it enough.

I absolutely love this quadcopter,it is so easy and fun to fly and video quality is great. There are also all kind of cool upgrades you can buy for it .I'm hooked I fly it every chance I get, I would highly recommend this quadcopter you won't be sorry.Just make sure you buy extra batteries trust me you'll be happy you have them.
