Hands down the easiest drone to fly!

Let me start by saying this is the easiest drone I have ever flown. Please understand that this is not a racing or super sensitive drone. It loads and flies with little to no drone experience. This is the first drone I've come across that didn't have trim settings as it doesn't need them. The instructions are clear and simple, and the device hovers very stably throughout the battery range. Most drones drift one way or another, get pushed by the wind, or change trim settings when the battery dies. I don't experience any of that and that's what was most noticeable on my first flight. It has three speed settings and can traverse my yard fairly quickly. Yaw is a bit slow so turns will take some getting used to, but as I mentioned earlier this device isn't trying to be super sensitive, but it flies easily. The flight is very stable and appears to be largely independent of crosswinds. I like the design of the high-end Tozo controller and the control knobs are comfortable and easy to use. At first I found it odd that the altitude (throttle) was spring loaded in the middle, but this drone is more about adjusting altitude than fighting gravity. The drone maintains its altitude allowing the user to focus on the yaw/pitch/roll flight controls and releasing the controls almost stops it in mid-air, pretty cool. Quality packaging, thought of everything and very well protected. . It comes with extra blades, a guard and the necessary tools. For a larger drone, the fact that it folds with folding wings is great, but I wish the protection was more thoughtful. It technically folds with a protective sleeve, but that's not really the intention. The battery indicator is around 15-20 minutes and I haven't noticed any difference in duration with different speed settings. It takes an hour or two to charge, so extra batteries are helpful. All in all a video drone for beginners or those who don't need +1k$ features like GPS, HD video or km range with return home.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was
