Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

As long as you do not need to fly a couple of kilometers and shoot videos in super quality with stabilization and camera rotation (and such needs do not appear at all at once), then it will satisfy all your desires and even anticipate them in some way. I would not buy a more expensive device with a better camera and range right away. If you break or lose due to inexperience, then this money will be a pity much less than as much as more serious copters cost. ate review after a long time. Problems with the compass no longer seem so terrible, now I calibrate even in parking lots, with a phone in my pocket, and everything flies perfectly in 90% of cases. The main thing at first after takeoff is to check that everything is OK. Once again I was convinced that this is the only excellent quadric in its price category. I would call him the "Phantom Killer". I still fly and shoot, although there was a desire for a better picture and a desire to rotate the camera.

Pros
  • The best quadcopter for beginners to fly "seriously". If you are planning to start flying something more serious than palm-sized quads, then this, in my opinion, is the best option. Excellent value for money and quality. There are all the most important things - GPS, FPV (first person view, first-person view, i. E. the screen on the remote control) and RTH (return home, automatic return home). And as a bonus, FOLLOW ME with HEADLESS MODE. Pretty good camera. Really flies 20 minutes, as written. Sometimes a little less (wind, frost), and sometimes, during calm flights in calm weather, and a little more. Do not worry about the fact that the range is only 300 meters. If you have not flown such distances before, this will be more than enough for you for now. I, for example, have not even reached 300 meters yet. In addition, 300 meters is only a guaranteed reception distance. In reality it is higher. You can also buy a Pro remote control or order external antennas for a regular remote control in China, this significantly expands the radius. : My distance record is 1000 meters in an open field. At the same time, both the picture and control were preserved.
Cons
  • Flaws: The disadvantage described below is a feature of all instances. I didn't encounter a defect or anything like that. Long study of the forums made me understand that all the owners of this model have ever encountered this. So. The weak point of this model is its compass. Few places say or write, but near massive metal objects, in the zone of magnetic and electric fields, it is likely to calibrate poorly. For example, I have never been able to properly calibrate it near a lot of parked cars (parking). Sometimes it happens that the compass is poorly calibrated and for no apparent reason at all. A poorly calibrated compass is very dangerous. In the best case, the quadric will not hold its point well, and in the worst case, it may suddenly stop obeying and do all sorts of obscenities in the air, which may end in its crash or spontaneous flight in an unknown direction. The worst thing is when, when you turn on the return home, the quadric flies in an unknown direction. Therefore, if he began to do something incomprehensible - immediately turn off the GPS. The compass is used only in modes that require GPS, so without it everything will be OK. And then plant it to recalibrate. Also, after turning it on, before flying far, check whether it hovering well in place and test the most important function - returning home. If everything is fine, then there will be no problems and you can fly.

Some pros: Stopped working after the first start. Has cons: It took a very long time to set up, calibrate, as a result it flew up to 2 meters and that's it, it no longer showed signs of life.
