Edit: Flown it for 4 days before busting one of the motors, which is enough for a review from someone who doesn't care much about drones. This is probably one of the cheapest ways (shipping excluded) to experience what real drones (not the cheap 10-meter range toys) are about. You get a taste of everything: Proper range, flight stabilization, real-time video, acceptable flight time and even some GPS functions which I didn't get to test (flying it in an urban area). In open areas it's a bundle of fun, a new exciting experience if you haven't flown one yet and a great way to troll pets and innocent bystanders alike. Unfortunately, a taste is precisely what you get: Connectivity becomes intermittent past 50 meters, stabilization either over- or undershoots on fast maneuvers (how the motor got damaged), the video quality is what smartphones shot a decade ago, battery indication is highly inaccurate (how the motor got broken) and while the drone doesn't look cheap, flying it feels like it. You get pretty jumpy flying it in a 3-meter vicinity of anything, particularly with the controller having the UI and responsiveness of something from the Soviet era.
Bottom line, I actually do recommend it for someone that wants to try something new or curious whether he might be interested in the hobby. Just note the use cases: * In-doors if you have a big house. Also, have the propeller-protectors on. * Outdoors in parks and trips. Might want to have the propeller-protectors on anyways.
