I am a total newbie. The first thing I liked about The is the feeling of its solidity and the materials that go with it. I love that you can charge the flight battery via USB BUT it takes 2 hours. I'm in suburban New York so my range is limited to about 300 meters but at that distance I still can't see the drone which gives me a REAL reason to own it, automatic return home. was gone no picture no sound and the picture was gone BUT after a minute or two it appeared over my head. Wow! I felt relieved! He is extremely stable. Today I was in 30 mph gusts and you'll never know as it hovered at about 100 feet. However, I decided not to tempt fate and soon landed. The picture is also very, very stable, with no shaking. Battery life is more than adequate, I get about 30 minutes per flight. The flight experience is wonderful! It's amazing to fully immerse yourself in the process of flying! great product and I can only recommend it! Worth the price!
