Pros
- Includes a two axis stabilized gimbal with EIS for very stable video.
- Folding drone with very nice carrying case for excellent portability.
- Brushless motors.

- 11.1V 2500mah battery provides about 25 minutes of flight time.
- True 4K camera, able to record video at 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second (fps). Video and photos are recorded to an onboard microSD (TIF) memory card (Recommend using a U3/V30 card at a minimum to record at 4K bitrate).
- Camera includes a two axis stabilized gimbal, and electronic image stabilization.
- Real time FPV in-flight video and advanced flight control features are vailable through the "HS Fly" app available on Google Play here bit.ly/HSFly and the Apple App Store here apple.co/3QLYmTJ. The app provides advanced flight control features of follow me, orbit, and waypoints.
- The controller has a built-in WiFi amplifier relay with external antenna that provides up to 3 Km range. Note that many countries do not allow 3 Km drone flights. But this ability does provide a good strong video signal for most flight environments.
Cons
- App requires use of phones with 802.11ac WiFi capability. Before purchasing this drone, I strongly recommend that you first verify that your phone can indeed use 802.11ac WiFi. Just do a simple internet search using the terms "802.11, your phone's model name, and specifications". Then see is 802.11ac WiFi shows up under your phone's specification.
- Weighs 556 grams. This drone will require registration in most countries. In the USA, it will additionally require completion and certification under the FAA's TRUST course, along with use of a remote ID system when flying.
