Invest your money in more reliable products/companies.

I've only used it twice, 1st time less than 20 minutes and 2nd time less than 10 minutes. On my second flight, despite all the necessary pre-flight operations, including calibration and setting the minimum flight parameters, the drone suddenly took off when I tried the orbit mode feature. It suddenly stopped responding to any controls. Safety features like auto-return (if it's out of range) and GPS home mode didn't work either. I watched hopelessly as the drone took off until it lost its charge and slowly sank into the water. Unfortunately I could not restore the drone. However, I was able to try the camera and can say that the photos and videos I took were pretty clear. Our video is not stable though even with a light wind. The gimbal is useless except for adjusting the camera angle from horizontal to vertical and vice versa. Similarly, the Follow Me and Altitude Hold features work with this little drone toy until I tried the Orbit feature. I lost my drone in the water because the drone became uncontrollable. Unfortunately I was unable to restore the drone and ended up spending $160 including the 32GB micro SD card installed. I contacted Contixo hoping they could replace my broken unit but to no avail. . Contixo needs to understand that their devices are not 100% reliable and they need to have an exchange program for defective devices. I give it one star because I haven't used it much. Also, I wasted over $160 because Contixo didn't replace what appeared to be a faulty unit. I will never buy a Contixo product again.
