Review: Cool drone - Haven’t had a chance to record, but it’s a cool drone. It’s very small, the follow functions work properly. It’s easy to work with.
Review: No Power up out of Box 1st unit. Second unit bad also - Sadly it was dead on arrival. Charged for full day and still no activity lights on power up. Kindly desertcart accepted the return and I ordered another. Hopefully better luck. It would be nice to know if what the problem was. Did not have an addition battery to determine what was wrong. Update 1 week later received 2nd drone, and app insisted on updating firmware to 7.5.3. After installed and power cycled the error message “Flight data abnormal, please cycle power”. Never ending loop video attached. Can not advise ordering this drone. Update July 3rd 2024. Seller evaluated the unit and is kindly replacing the drone. Very good communication and happy to resolve the problems. Looking forward to trying the new unit. The customer service was excellent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More than expected
*by J***H on October 11, 2025*

I absolutely love my drone, it was easy to learn how to use it. My purpose for it is to check rental houses roof lines. Check on trees to prevent damage. Check roofs and see if there is visible damage. It soon became more valuable than that.
