Jury Out (updated)

Have you ever bought one of those crappy $20 drones that have to be constantly charged just to get them used for like 7 minutes? Well the battery on this thing seems to be dead too. First of all, the instructions for this thing sucks and may not even exist. They tell you to charge the thing for an hour before using it, which means it's fully charged at that point, right? Guess again! I still don't know exactly how long it takes to fully charge. Another thing is they don't really tell you what any of the indicators on this thing are actually pointing to. Sometimes they are orange, sometimes green. Sometimes they'll blink in seemingly random rapid flashes (which usually can't mean anything good is happening), and other times they'll stay on all the time. They don't even tell you how to tell it's fully charged. I assume this will happen when the green charging LED finally goes out, but I'm not sure because they didn't bother to mention it in the instructions! Even those crappy little $20 drones will tell you that, albeit in broken English. Also, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't mention that this thing has pretty good picture quality and seems to work fine, but I'll probably be done. I returned it because I wasn't sure about the battery life and charging method, especially after reading all the negative reviews about how these things turn out, which is usually battery related. $400 might be relatively cheap for this type of product, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating when it only works for a few weeks or months. UPDATE: To be honest, it looks like the first device I received might have a bad battery or something. I sent it back to Revain for a replacement and the new one gives more realistic reports of battery life remaining and actually charges up to 100%. Thank you Rewin! Star adjustments to reflect the improved experience.
