Pros
- Upgrade to HS720E now includes a two axis stabilized gimbal with EIS for very stable video.
- Folding drone with very nice carrying case for excellent portability.
- Brushless motors.
- Very effective optical flow system enhanced with two IR emitters. This allows for stable hover indoors or outdoors without the GPS system. This allows for a quick setup and takeoff without need of compass calibration or waiting for GPS signals. The downside though is that automatic return to home and landing is not possible when flying in optical flow mode.
- GPS/GLONASS system enables rapid lockon for pre-flight preparation. GPS also provides automatic return to home and landing capability on command, and on lost signal.
- 7.7V 2950mah battery provides 25 minutes of flight time.
- True 4K camera, able to record video at 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second (fps), or 1080p resolution at 60 fps. Video and photos are recorded to an onboard microSD (TIF) memory card.
- 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 "Ophelia Fly" app available on Google Play here bit.ly/Ophelia-Fly and the Apple App Store here apple.co/3v44xGo . The app includes many features for the camera and drone. These include camera settings of brightnees, saturation, special effects, ISO, and white balance. Additionally, advanced flight control features of follow me, orbit, and headless mode are available through the app.
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 379 grams. This drone will require registration in most countries.
- Google Maps would not connect on the app's map screen. Thus tap fly features could not be demonstrated.
