1. This drone ain't gonna ruin my trust in your reviews!

2. "Now he's doing bunny ears!"
   " Mommy, I want a drine pet like that guy has!"! "Waaaaah!!!"!

3. You have a cold or sumn?! What's with the voice change?!

4. Hi do you know if the batteries from this drone will fit the snaptain sp500

5. How do you get the GPS ON I can't find how please help

6. Do I need “cellular data” to use this drone? I planned to bring it out of Country. Thanks

7. how can I fly my csj without the phone? I go through start up routine but it is hit or miss as to whether it will fly?

8. my CSJ S167 drone does not show up on my phone but it does on my computer wifi modem, any ideas, how to connect my drone to my phone?

9. I am going to give this drone 1 star. If I have to calibrate every single time I turn this thing on, and it's a very iffy connection this becomes a useless toy. There's no "smart" drone capabilities it should be a simple connection to get this thing started. Does anyone have better instructions?

10. i lost my user manual for this drone. would really help if anyone has a pdf version of the user manual!

11. can i have one drone please….

12. One thing about these cheaper drones.. Crop the video right down helps a lot..

13. I can verify, after 40+ flights, this is a pretty nice drone. It works well off the controller without ANY phone or app. I got 350M range in fairly bad weather without GPS engaged. Battery flight time around 15-20mins. It works well on the app too. GPS altitude lock is very forgiving. It is not designed for severe weather but can take a fair pasting. Best way to use this one is record to the onboard micro SD and just fly by eye. The video off the chip is around 60fps .Avi. When using it from the phone, the direct feed is around 30fps.. It is a very nice beginner drone and loads of features that some pricier units have. The camera is missing stabilisation or PTZ but it IS very sharp. It is worthy. If you have used a Tello or similar drone, or are highly competent with tech stuff, you can get some nice video out of this. Long range i am unsure but without interference, around 500m should be achievable in practice max safe range. Unfortunately it won't lift a gopro. I got the S167 which is slightly newer.

14. The cost of this is now about $200.00.. Just wanted to let you know.

15. I bought this and I can't find the drone in wifi anywhere, yours just connected automatically?

16. I paid AUD $130. so about $93 US

17. Hello Captain. Without making any assumtions: Can this drone be flown without the controller via the wifi app only ? ( controller smashed to bits )

18. Bad camera

19. Would you recommend using prop guards? I have read that the guards could add turbulence.

20. Does any Micro SD card work?

21. I haven't found it for under $100. But the packages I am looking at come with 3 batteries. So I'm wondering if that is why the price is a bit higher.

22. Thanks for this video. I bought the exact same one & needed to see all the options operated.

23. Forget the instructions… just use this video…ifyou can not get it to work. Hit the lock in screen controls.Controller icon then lock icon.

24. i caint seem to find anythain on tweekin the trim online for the s166. is that not an option ?

25. Hi, sorry if I disturb you, I have the same drone, but I can't find anywhere the serial of the drone or that of the remote control to register it on the dflight website, but is it normal?

26. I got mine for $150 on Wish and I can't wait to fly it.

27. It's 260 cad for me looking at this i realize that this might be 8x cheaper than the mavic 2 pro but the mavic is 800x better

28. great review to tell the truth

29. This was the biggest waste of money I spent so far. I tried three different phones to search for satellites and couldn't find any. I am waiting for a response from the seller(%days) so far. Sorry Steve. I always trust your reviews. Just got sent a bad unit this once. Take care and I will always trust your opinion. Peter

30. Is that a relative of the SP500 series? Looks like a carbon copy, even the controller is identical.

31. Thanks for sharing this video. May you "teach" me how to use the control sticks? I don't understand the included manual and I prefer to ask you…
    Thank you; this Is the Best video I've seen about this drone; I just bought one.
    Sorry about muy english, I'm doing my Best.

    Greetings from México City.

32. Where do they sell it under $80 at ? Says $160 on the site.

33. I bought this drone because of your review. I saw it on line for under $100 and wondered if it was a good beginner drone. Watching your review helped me decide to get it. I'm glad I did. I watched your review everyday until it arrived so I would be able to be comfortable with set up, the controller and what to expect. It paid off! I had a great time, took great video and just hit return home when I got a little nervous or unsure. That feature alone is worth the cost. Thanks again.

34. 3:28 przestał pierdolić!

35. Can this fly without the app?

36. Hi Captain. I purchased one of these drones. Excited as hell when I received it. Read the manual, watched more videos, and completely disappointed in this drone. Yes, I'm a beginner, but why I'm disappointed is, I followed the calibration procedure numerous times, but to no avail, when I engage the auto lift to hover, the drone takes off as if I were steering it. Do you have any suggestions?

37. Your video recording show me help get batter drone flying
