Review on ZEROTECH Definition Version Official Warranty by Brian Rivenbark

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Definitely worth the money

Let me start by saying that this is a small quadcopter, not a full frame quadcopter. Waiting 15-20 minutes for a flight just doesn't happen. The flight time of 9 minutes is very good and on par with the competitor Wingsland s6, which also has a flight time of around 10 minutes. Below I will detail each of the main aspects of this drone. Zerotech Review: I got the user manual in English, but many reviewers said they didn't have it. I believe that Zerotech has listened to consumers and is now providing a manual in English. I also received a free replacement battery and as of 2/14/17 they are still offering this offer. Spare Parts: You can find them easily. Once you've bought a Dobby, Amazon will show you the parts, and there are plenty of them. So those who mention the lack of spare parts are wrong. Drone flight time: 5/5 Battery life is excellent. Knowing this is a selfie drone will give you plenty of flight time using it for what it's designed for. It was never built to compete with DJI's flagship ATV or any other full-frame drone. At the same time, in terms of flight time, it still surpasses inexpensive full-frame drones, for example, all SYMA X8 series ATVs. Drone Photo/Video: 4/5, Dobby photos are excellent. I can't tell my DJI from Dobby when it's transferred to my computer. If you have very light wind this thing will amaze you how good this camera is. Without a doubt it shoots better than my GoPro or my other 4K action cameras. Video WITHOUT EIS activated is like flying a drone without a gimbal, only with more jelly. Now my advice is, take the dobby wherever you want without activating the EIS (Reduce Flight Time on Activation). When you're ready for that video/photo, turn on the EIS and you'll get some great photos/videos. Drone build: 5/5 Personally, I think this quad is made to withstand drops of up to 5 feet anywhere. The reason is that Zerotech built it to land in the palm of your hand and expected it to fall out of your palm at times. I'd say it's built better than DJI's Phantom series. Every time I take out my DJI I know that if I mishandle I could potentially damage the gimbal or camera. With Dobby there are no such worries. Drone Optical Sensor: 4/5 This is good technology built into this drone. However, I know how they work. DO NOT expect it to work the same as the GPS on the outside, it just won't happen. The optical scanner works best with a flat, contrasting floor and no furniture nearby. If you follow these steps, it can simulate GPS operation and bring you great flying experience. My advice to novice pilots: do not attempt to fly indoors until you are 100% comfortable with the drone. GPS for drones: 5/5. I would score a lot more, and that far exceeds my DJI GPS stability. If you have a full satellite lock, Dobby will not move after launch. Overall, this drone costs $400. Dobby is loaded with features found on flagship full-frame ATVs. Dobby is revolutionary right now so enjoy it and don't get caught up on the little bugs people are facing. They are updated and fixed by Zerotech. I hope this helps and you enjoy your Dobby.
