A normal product, however, does not fully correspond to the description.

In the characteristics of the model there are restrictions on the outdoor temperature.
Type from -10C to +35C . I ran it at -5C (on the first day), everything went well, I started to get used to it. On the second day the temperature was -7C, but as far as I understood later, there was high humidity. A couple of minutes after takeoff, the control system began to report difficulties with the motor. Unfortunately, at that moment I flew over a ravine 30 meters deep. And after a couple of seconds, the control system reported that the drone was switching to landing mode. I did not want to lose the drone in the ravine, and I began to forcibly pull it out of the ravine towards myself (forcibly raise the height and force it to fly towards me). I managed to do it. When he was a meter away from me, he continued the landing mode (automatically) and at a height of about 30 cm abruptly lost stabilization and slammed sharply on the ground. An external examination showed that one of the propeller supports had collapsed and the footboard had broken. One of the motors was hot, smelling slightly of burning. The body of the drone was iced over.
All flew off. I roughly understand what they will tell me in the warranty service if I decide to go there.
Two supporting legs are made at an angle of 70 degrees to the horizon, not at 90 degrees. What for? Is this a special element for deformation and destruction during emergency landings? Not an obvious solution.
Actually, it's kind of sad. I didn't have time to evaluate it.

Made a paid repair of the drone.
The cost of the leg-motor with replacement work was 8,500.
It flies in the summer, everything is in order.

Pros

Automatic takeoff. Automatic landing. Obstacle recognition system.

Cons

1. The solution with a remote control, which requires a smartphone to be inserted there, is implemented, apparently by designers. They, these designers, are poorly familiar with the technical features of certain solutions. To charge the remote control, you constantly need to remove the remote control wire from the remote control to the smartphone. And if you want to charge your smartphone, then you need to remove the second part of the wire from it, after removing the smartphone from the remote control. And it's not easy to get in there. At the same time, there is no connector on the power supply unit into which the wire from the smartphone could be inserted. Although such a solution could be envisaged. 2. I did not find a list of compatible phones. At all. 3. I did not find information on the procedure for turning on (off) the remote control in the instructions for the model. There is no information on the website either. I accidentally guessed how it's done. You must first briefly press the power button, and then (after a second) press it again and hold for a couple of seconds. 4. To activate the drone (at least for the first time) you need a reliable internet connection. It won't fly without it. I did not find such a requirement in the instructions. 5. Attempts to find spare parts (such as to replace a broken leg) have not yet been successful.
