Once calibrated, it's very simple. This is a breeze to operate. Moves fairly quickly, picture quality is normal. Battery life is decent, around 20 minutes. Customer support is also fast and very helpful. The downside is that the image was a bit choppy when capturing video of people moving. I want it to include 2 batteries and have a much shorter range than advertised. Also, just a warning: DO NOT PRESS THE BACK HOME BUTTON WITHOUT CONNECTING TO THE SATELLITE. He just flies into the sunset. If you accidentally press the button and it starts flying away, just press the button again to regain control.
