This is a very powerful drone. Bought used and arrived almost new. Love brushless motors. I would still consider myself a beginner (a few minis and bugs 3) but this is more of an intermediate drone. You must know your basics. The D80 is fairly easy to use (read the manual). Image and video quality is better than most. Sorry I can't put a microSD in my phone. I put 3 blade propellers on it. soft as silk! I don't know if anyone else has this, but I have to calibrate the gyroscope every time I put in a battery. A bit annoying but only lasts a few seconds. Really good range so far and the GPS seems to be working well. I love this drone and all of its extras, especially the case! We recommend Potensic drones!
