  1. WARNING This is a great drone,But please check the rotor blade screws,i found as i was folding the arms to store it,one of the motors was warm,further inspection i found that one screws had backed out and all the others were loose,Just a heads up..thank you..Its a Great bird…

  2. It's a decent drone. A good one to learn on. Only thing is that the newer iPhone models are too big to fit onto the controller – meaning you need a co-pilot to hold your phone while you fly.

  3. I purchased this same exact model from this video. I paid US after taxes 332. 00 It was going for before taxes 289.99 .. Very happy with the results. Thank you for the education of it's use.

  4. HI, i've put 64gb sd card to me drone. Many times my videos doesn't record, during the fly i see that is saving, but after my flight i do not see anywhere videos. Second problem, my regular programs can't open this mp4 format. Can somebody tell me what i do wrong?

  5. Assume for a moment the weather was windy & raining so you tested the hover feature (5 ft, steady) INDOORS at, say, your parents' place and instead of lowering it right away to land, you tried budging it slightly left to right & hypothetically speaking (I'd never do something that stupid of course), it ended up decapitating an orchid you bought for your mother on Mothers Day & scratching the hell out of the fuselage, scraping a rotor blade too.

    I'm in eastern canada, and if I ever did do something like I just described & I wasn't so lucky as to only scratch it, where would one usually order replacement parts or perhaps send away the drone for repair? It came with spare rotor blades but that's it.
    I've yet to try this outdoors, just need some space to work with.

    Also – I know this is an entry-level drone, but have any of you used this drone to carry something (obvs very light)?

    Dumb question – when you initially take off, it knows that location as home-base as far as GPS & 'return to base' feature is concerned. However, if you lift off, land in a neighboring field momentarily then take off again, will home base now be re-defined because it 'landed' for 5 seconds elsewhere?

    YET another dumb question – any night flying experiences? Can you disable the lights? Not for creep shots, just looking to lower the attention a ball of light that sounds like a swarm of bees can be as far as my neighbors are concerned.

    Last dumb question – if I fly it over a row of trees, descend on the other side to get a lower viewpoint then hit the 'return to home base' button, will it automatically fly over the trees (e.g. trace back its steps), or do I have to make sure it's got the altitude to work with before hitting the return to home base button? Like, does it tend to return to the GPS location then lower down like in this video, or does it ever make a more diagonal flight path?

    Any answers to any of my questions would be appreciated, thank you! I used to fly RC helicopters (beginning with the cheap-o ones for $20) indoors at a house we were renting. The only big helicopter I bought ended up losing its wireless connection with the remote, continuing on at full throttle like it was an escaped prisoner. It's now located in a forest nearby as deep as 8-10 minutes of full throttle can get you. It's been 10yrs, I'm still waiting for it to come back.
