Worth buying!

I'll start this review by saying that I often use consumer comments on the products I review as part of my decision making. Buying has never been someone who may have shared their thoughts about a product with others as part of your solution. I'm not new to the world of radio controlled hobbies. All I've had so far has been a ground application, although I was very interested in RC airplanes and helicopters, but I knew it would be a much cooler money offer, and the simple fact that an accident would happen, so I did never a spanner in the works. Then drones entered the scene. It felt like an option to explore. I won't take any hits. First I bought a Dromida Hover Shot - AKA POS!. It was a small drone bought with the intention of LEARNING. It had a small supposed 720p camera. If you understand my acronym, that's enough. That was 3 or 4 years ago. Interest in drones has died. At the beginning of this year I started looking again. I checked a lot of options and I understand very well that you can get serious money very quickly, like airplanes. Found out that Contixo F35 Premium. First of all, I would like to say that it seems that there are several drones with different names that look the same in physical design, except for some icons. 1 The F35 Premium is backed by a one-year warranty. Most of the other - No Dice aren't even close. And I would like to point out that I have set myself a limit of $400. 2. A memory card is included in this package. The rest is mostly a drone, a suitcase, 2 batteries with charging cable and that's it. It doesn't come with just one, it's 128MB. Now for the drone. Good workmanship, nothing seems cheap even when the batter is out as it adds a lot to the weight of the device. I am by no means an experienced drone operator and because my first drone purchase was such a failure I had almost no flight time and was very nervous at work. First, the drone already comes in beginner mode, and then in GPS mode, so it was very convenient for me to learn how to fly. I highly recommend this if you are a drone virgin. In terms of durability, I had a minor landing incident and did it without the RTH feature. Trimmed some tall grass but the drone was fine. It was a bit more than it looks, but I was trying not to sound like a complete idiot. Well what seems to be the pinnacle of controversy when it comes to drones in this price range. Camera 4k. When it comes to home entertainment and audio/video equipment, I'm above average. Now I have 4k monitors at home. Looking at the video I recorded with this drone I can say that it is the same as a movie recorded in 4k. no But I also don't have any equipment that can accurately test the video signal and verify the compression of the video data. And for the backbones who want to complain that the video isn't 4k, neither are you idiots. I am very happy and satisfied with the quality of the video. For the money spent - very satisfied, good job Contixo. For those who read other reviews and want to complain about the video or if you are one of those who complained I will make it very easy. You are buying a $400 drone with fantastic specs and a good camera on a 2 axis gimbal that works great! If you think you're going to get video like a multi-million dollar movie or video equivalent to a 20k 4k studio camcorder, you're not. Raise your head from your seat and let in some oxygen. Then jump in and check out drones that cost $800 and up. If you don't want to spend that many coins, you can get excited about what companies like Contixo have done to create an inexpensive drone with some advanced features for beginners and enthusiasts to enjoy their new hobby. If not, shut up, have a coke and fly a kite, stop discouraging others from making a purchase they would otherwise find satisfactory simply because you have unrealistic expectations for the money spent .
