Happy with my new drone

This is my second drone with GPS and my first with gimbal. These two features are world-changing: a GPS drone knows where it is and the software can compensate for wind, making it easy to fly in any weather. Drones with GPS usually have different modes, but the simple "Easy" mode keeps the drone in the same place unless you use the joystick to move it. Compare this to a cheap drone where you spend most of your time keeping the drone where you need it! The presence of GPS also allows the product to provide interesting features such as waypoint navigation, follow-me, fly-by, etc. I haven't tried it yet. I had the opportunity to try all of these features, but this drone has it all. The gimbal offers advanced anti-shake capabilities so drone footage is smooth. My previous drone didn't have a stabilizer and because of that the video it produced was terrible. The gimbal also allows you to control the direction of the camera with the remote control. You can point it forward or down, in any middle position you want. Aside from those two "must have" features, this drone has a decent 4K camera, but the video quality could use some improvement as it has some artifacts. I saw a video from DJI Mavic, the quality is much better. Of course, these drones are MUCH more expensive, so expect some differences. Again, the quality is much better compared to my previous drone. I uploaded a short video so you can see the quality but I think Amazon compressed these videos a bit. As you can see from the photos it folds up small and comes in a nice box to be used for safe transport. There were two batteries in my package, which is a good setting that will get you flying for almost an hour. Time.-The batteries, as well as the remote control, are charged via USB with a micro USB connector. This allows existing chargers and cables to be used for charging at the same time. The remote and app are well designed and easy to use. Keep in mind that there are some settings that affect how the drone flies and these are set to "Beginner Mode" so you'll need to change them if you want to fly more seriously. For example, the maximum distance to the controller is set to 30 meters. A 128GB micro SD card was included in my package. If you don't get it, make sure you can record it on board as the video transmitted is not of the same quality. The remote control is responsive and the drone is very easy to control. Cons: - Picture quality could be better. Hopefully Contixo can tweak the compression a bit to get rid of the artifacts. If you forget to stop the video and turn off the plane, the video file will be corrupted. it happened to me Don't forget to stop recording before turning off the drone! Overall I am very happy with this drone!
