Pros
- Sized just right for beginners to learn to fly, particularly indoors in your living room or basement.
- It's very maneuverable, yet very easy to fly. Includes auto takeoff, flip feature, headless mode, circle mode, and rotate mode.
- Also includes "Throw to Go" mode. Simply toss the drone into the air and it flies.
- Includes 720p HD camera. In flight FPV video and photos can be viewed and recorded directly to your phone using the "HS FPV" app available on Google Play and the App Store. This app uses common 2.4Ghz WiFi,availableonmost phones and tablets.
- Comes with three 3.7V 500mah modular batteries, each capable of over 10 minutes of flight time.
Cons
- The app's advanced features of voice control and gesture controls did not work for me.
- 2.4Ghz WiFi FPV video comes with inherent lag and frame dropping. Also expect relatively short FPV range of around 30 meters. This is because the controller also uses 2.4Ghz, creating interference.
