    Live in a perpetually windy area. This drone cannot be controlled very well, even in a light wind. Trees like drones. Drone now somewhere in fir tree. It's a toy, that's all. Use it only in wide open spaces.

    This drone is nice in terms of battery life and flight time. However, the camera does not seem to be 1080p with heavy grain. It rather resembles early 2000s mobile cameras. I knew I could not expect much from a drone in this price category, but the camera could be better.

    Great drone for someone starting out. Worth the price by far compared to others if you don’t want to spend hundreds on a drone. I recommend this drone if you’re just starting out.

    This is an easy to fly drone and seems very decent for the price, however. It is not clearly stated in the advertisement that you need Wi-Fi to use the camera. Therefore if you take the drone out and about without use of the camera the drone is all but useless. I'm very tempted to return the item due to this!
