My experience level: Two weeks flight in a helicopter with a covered helicopter for 30 US dollars. This is literally the first drone I've ever flown. Ridiculously easy to fly! In fact, EASIER than flying a $30 toy helicopter. If you have the slightest problem with the flight. Hands off the joysticks! F11 literally "brakes" itself to STOP AND HANG at the exact moment you let go of the controls. You have to be outside and in GPS mode - but it works like a champ. I took off and hovered over the landing pad. then it went straight up 90 feet, the thing literally hovered over my head as it went up. I lowered it back - and it fell on my head. It flew across the yard, immediately swinging back and braking, then hovering in place as soon as I let go of the joystick. take control before he landed because he was a little out of order. In fact, you can't go wrong with this thing. This is a high quality drone and you will see that fact as soon as you unpack it. My wife probably thinks I spent a thousand dollars on this! One of the big pluses is that you can MOVE the camera angle in the air. Some drones require you to set the angle on the ground and it doesn't change during flight. I ran it right in my fenced back yard full of trees. I didn't hit anything. So this is the drone you need if you are a total beginner. To be honest, I'm not going to become a "drone freak", so I doubt I'll ever need anything else. and flies long. If the battery runs out, you can land!
