  1. This drone is just a 50 dollar toy drone from walmart with the name brand treatment. 230 dollars with horrible wind resistance, horrible cameras, etc. You can purchase a mavic mini for the same price and get much better videos, much more flight time and wind resistance, gps tracking, and something that wont be abandoned in a year.

  2. It's not enough, it's a big chunk out of what would a superior version with sound, range, duration and camera features. Bothers me that they haven't done better with low-light, and you can't see anything on the screens in daylight anyway, we desperately need daylight viewable phones, not our computer's monitor.

  3. 😅 this is just more surveillance under the guise of 'entertainment' you could imagine the amount of data collected about an individual by having a drone follow you around 🤭🤭

    aw but never mind that, we all need a pixie in our life. am I rite

  4. Hope they realize every single influence who uses this on a monetized site like YouTube or IG is going to have to get a Part 107 license from the FAA or pay large fines. It's not an easy thing to do either, you have to study weeks for it and take it in person at an FAA testing site.

  5. So many issues, so little time. Does it fall under FAA regulations? If so, it has to be registered, ID'ed etc. If you try to charge someone for the photos, there is a whole list of regulations to cover that. Even though it has follow modes, there is no mention of obstacle avoidance and yet the video has several shots of this drone flying in a heavily wooded area with tree collisions inevitable. There is no mention of any kind of controller so once this thing launches, its on its own. If it looses sight of you for any reason, maybe it lands or maybe if just flys off into the sunset. On the plus side, the props are enclosed so it probably just bounces around until it finds its target, crashes or runs out of power. For another 200 bucks, I'd go with the DJI Mini 2 or Mavic series instead of this toy.
