What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This drone feels much better quality than a lot of other small/entry level drones. We love how solid it feels. Would definitely recommend.
Video can be a bit shaky at higher speeds. The response from the controller is the best of a budget drone that i've tested. The camera is on a gimbal so the videos are smooth and the drone is quick.

This is my first 'proper' drone after buying smaller lighter models and realising i'd got flying bug.
Price
Under 250g too, another bonus depending on your needs.
The camera is fixed, rather than gimball, but for the money, and as a starter or back-up drone to something all-singing and all... Read More

Competitiveness
It's my first drone so can't compare with others.
Although relatively cheap compared to similar premium models, the features are great.

My son recommended this above all others as he has some experience with these things he crashed and lost at sea a much more expensive drone and said he wished he had thought about it a bit more before buying his first drone that cost over £500 pounds
