World’s worst user interface
This has got to be the most idiotic user interface I have ever experienced. Now, I have professional expertise in user interface design, so perhaps my standards are higher than those of most people. Still, I have now made three attempts to get this device running, and failed every time.Perhaps the problem is that I am relying on the video tutorial. I read the manual, which appears to have been written in Chinese, then translated to Swahili, which was translated to Urdu, which was translated to English. That’s why I decided to rely on the video tutorial, which at least was understandable.Yet the video tutorial has its own problems. At some points, it proceeds faster than is possible to execute; while I’m still carrying out step #6, it is talking about step #7. So I have to jump back and forth between the drone and the iPhone with the video tutorial, stepping the video back a number of steps so as to get back in synch with the tutorial.Moreover, the controller beeps to indicate that a step has been successfully completed — but the beep is so faint that I can’t hear it over the audio from the video tutorial, so I don’t know whether I should wait until I hear a beep or just plunge ahead.On top of that, the drone provides its feedback with various combinations of lights flashing or remaining on, which would be great if I left it on the ground upside down, but putting it down in its proper position makes it impossible to see the lights without stepping away and stooping.I got pretty close — all the way through the GPS satellite acquisition, but the nonsense about setting the joystick levers to 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock really threw me off. Did I perhaps fail because I didn’t move them absolutely perfectly simultaneously? Or perhaps was I at 7:30 when I had to be at 7:00? Who knows? They certainly don’t give any indication of the requirements here.What’s particularly sad about this is that they could have made it much easier by using the LCD display on the controller. That is, the instructions could have appeared on the LCD, but apparently they are using a set-in-stone display rather than a pixel-accessible display — gadzooks, a fully accessible display would have cost them a few bucks more!Anyway, had they done it properly, the LCD display would have begun with “Turn on the drone by pressing the power button briefly, then releasing and holding it down for 3 seconds.” When the drone turned on, the LCD display would then say, “Drone is powered up. Now press and release the compass button in the lower right corner of this controller” When that was done, it would say, “Now hold the drone horizontally and rotate three times”. When that was completed, it would then say, “Hold the drone nose down and rotate yourself three times.” When that was done, it would say, “Lay the drone down and wait for confirmation that it has locked onto GPS signals.” And so on and so forth.They should never use the multi-button inputs, such as holding both joysticks down at specified angles. That’s really, really stupid! If you need more input capacity, add another button!BUT, when you DO add buttons, make sure that they don’t interfere with each other. Whilst operating the joysticks, or setting the antennae, I would sometimes inadvertently press one of the two buttons along the top of the controller. This did not appear to cause any problems, but I recall hearing some beeps while this happen. Did the beeps mean that I had successfully completed a step, or did they mean that I had accidentally triggered something that interfered with the startup process? Who knows?I am surprised that other people had no problems getting their drones operating; I suspect that these people had previous experience operating drones.I’ll make one more try to get it into the air. If, as is likely, I fail, then I shall buy a cheaper, simpler drone without so many features, one that I can operate without a months’ worth of research and experimentation. This one looks like a disaster.

Good drone!
This GPS drone offers a very solid experience overall. The 4K camera and 3-axis gimbal deliver clear, steady footage, and the long flight time is a real plus. Features like Auto Return, Follow Me, and Waypoint Fly work smoothly and make flying easier, even for beginners. The foldable design is convenient for travel, and the 1640 ft video transmission holds up well. It’s not a high-end professional drone, but for everyday flying and casual photography, it’s a dependable and enjoyable choice.

Please don’t buy this!
This drone has to be the worst drone I’ve ever own.First and foremost, the drone and controller feel cheap. The battery doesn’t smoothly lock into place. I had to force it in. Once I got the battery in, I tried to get my phone into the controller. When I pulled up the phone holder, it felt like it broke. It was very hard to get it to lock in place. Once locked, I had to take my phone out of the case in order for it to get into the controller.The app, If that’s what you want to call it, was clunky and hard to figure out. Connecting to the drone took a very long time. Once connected, the menu was hard to understand. I finally figured out how to calibrate and turn on the drone. Mind you, I work in computer science and the other drones I’ve flown had no issues with connection.I can’t comment on its wind resistance becuase once I got the device off the ground, it had a mind of its own. It started to float and move uncontrollably. When I finally gained control, I got it to fly up, wobbly and then I turned it. The turn was in slow motion.I hit the land button and it just started to wobble and forcefully ‘landed’ without turning off the engine. It turned off after about 5 seconds of being on the ground.I owned this for a few hours. Long enough to charge up everything and try to fly it. When I saw how bad it performed, I boxed it up and returned it. I was not going to get stuck with this bad drone.Please save your money. There are many other drones that are much better. I purchased a different brand and was instantly impressed with the difference.
