Great design, mediocre performance

The design is very sleek and has a great case. I also like the battery packs and loading system. It’s easy to pack up and easily fits in a suitcase, too. The camera loses contact with the WiFi and becomes an uncontrollable flying object capable of causing something or someone damage. If this can be improved I could give this a higher recommendation.

This product is simply terrible. It barely flies. I thought it might just be that particular unit, so I returned it for another one. Both units performed the same way. The drone would hold a steady flight plain for about 5 seconds, then would fly around me out of control. The phone app is glitchy and bad as well.

The ROVA app required to fly the thing is not available. This is basically a lead weight and useless without a way to fly it.

ROVA is great for the price, poor on battery life 3-5 mins. Also charging can take three hours depending on the charger you’re using.

Good thing my neighbor was home when this thing lost connection and fell into his backyard. Bad video quality of me cussing over the fence. Returned this the same day.

They don’t tell you this but the drone needs an app to fly and the app is out of production...no longer exists. So, your buying a paperweight :(

Great Beginner Drone

Drone works well indoors as long as you calibrate it before each take off. Picture and Video quality is great. My 9 year old was able to control it in about 15 minutes of practice. Awesome hovering feature for selfies. Drone is louder than I would like specially when it is operated indoors.

Not Good For Beginners

I don't like drones you have to control with your phone so from the beginning, it was rough. I couldn't get it to hover at all. It always leaned to the side regardless of how much I reset everything. The video quality looked decent but given that I couldn't control it, the only video was when it landed. I don't even consider myself to have controlled a drone even though I tried to get this to work for 2 weeks every day for a couple of hours a day because I didn't want to give up on it thinking that me being a novice was causing the problems. Eventually, I called it quits and returned it. I originally purchased it thinking that it was a different drone that I read a lot of reviews about, the Passport I believe. It wasn't that so I still wanted it to work. All I needed it to do was hover and take pics/video but that was too much to ask for.

Not for iOS

My wife purchased this for me for the holidays as we had family from all over for a family photo, the app was not on apple store or was pulled. No app which makes this drone useless. Even the guy at Best Buy couldn’t find the app . Don’t understand how the can advertise for iOS when it’s not.
