Review on HUBSAN H501S X4 Drone: 4-Channel, GPS Altitude Mode, 5.8GHz Transmitter, 1080P HD Camera, RC Quadcopter - RTF Standard Edition in Black by Matthew Thorndike

I don't like giving 1 star. Was very excited when I opened it 10 days ago. It just arrived two days ago. Impressive packaging, nice additions and that's the best. Exact compliance with the assembly instructions, fully charged batteries, compass and GPS calibration without any problems. Attempt to arm the props as instructed. Nothing. The lights on the drone are flashing, 10 sats, I went to arm and. no rotating supports. When I went to get the drone I almost burned my fingers as the bottom of the drone/battery compartment was very, very hot. I gave it a "rest" day, got an email from the seller, did the setup, reset everything according to the instructions and the same. My guess is that maybe one or more of the motors/rotors have frozen/stalled. Everything on the controller seemed to work fine. I don't know what kind of quality control is done in China, but let's assume it caused some error in production. Of course it had nothing to do with the packaging as it was top notch. I know $200 doesn't make you a top-notch drone. But at least it should be fine when you receive it. In fact I had high hopes for it as it had everything I needed. Disappointed it didn't work. back tomorrow. I need another drone. I'm not sure if I want to risk trying another Mifly drone or look for a slightly more expensive drone from another seller. I really appreciated the punctuality of the seller via email. Guess it's time to search more. Maybe your purchase will turn out better than mine.
