This drone has been awesome. It flies well and can take a bit of a beating. My son has crashed it multiple times and it’s still flying.
The controls are responsive the flight time is decent and the camera quality is pretty decent for the price. I have put multiple hours on this sucker and it keeps flying strong. It does self level which is very nice for beginners and prevents many crashes. It’s quite stable so excellent for picture taking. It handles a mild wind but I wouldn’t fly it outside of the wind becomes moderate.
The 3 fly speeds are handy but I generally just prefer to set it to the fastest speed and do wish that was a slider switch but it’s simple enough to tap it a few times. The audio feedback is a nice touch knowing which selection your on without looking.
The only 2 issues first the charging seems to take longer than I would expect. Second and this may just be user error I can’t seem to connect the camera and use the controller at the same time. I can use the camera but only with phone control. I certainly prefer controlling using the controller.
Overall for the price this is a fantastic beginner drone for the cost!

Good for beginners
The first thing I want to say about this little beauty is WOW! Seriously. I mean the fact that it folds, fist nicely and compact into it's included carrying case and comes with two batteries is nice, but...none of those are the reasons that you buy a drone. You want stability, ease of use, long flight times and quality pics/vids. Well, this little drone has all of that.Camera - The resolution of the photographs is pretty awesome, in my opinion. The video is high-quality, as well. Check out my uploads. Also, I love the fact that the camera tilts a full 90-degrees. Cheaper drones have fixed cameras or only tilt 70-degrees, which is ok, but I prefer to position the camera to make the shot, not the drone to make the shot. Plus, with fixed cameras, the position of the camera tends to make the pictures/videos dark because of the compensation for the sun being almost directly into the lens. The fact that the camera doesn't have pan capability is no big deal, because when you have the controls in "slow" mode, the side-to-side and rotation motions are quite smooth. The only "con" that I can come up with is the 120-degree lens. Because it's somewhat panoramic, it tends to give pics/vids a bit of a fish eye effect. Not so much that it's annoying, but it exists.Battery life - Runtimes are between 23-28 minutes, with mine, anyway. Drone runtimes can vary even within the same model, so yours may get a couple more minutes or a couple less. Either way, it's long enough to get a ton of enjoyment out of and when the battery dies; you let the motors cool off for about ten minutes and send it up with the second battery (included with my purchase).Controls - It has three speed positions (slow, normal, fast). It defaults to normal when you turn it on, which is great for general flying. Switch it to slow for smooth-scrolling video panning. Go to fast when you want to get there in a hurry. It has First Person View capability through your smartphone, with 5g WiFi, which is great. The connection is solid and you get very little video stutter (unless you're panning really fast, which is bad practice anyway). I like being able to see what the camera sees, when it sees it. The app for your phone defaults to "beginner mode" until you turn it off. Beginner mode only lets fly about 30m up and about that far away. It's great when you're first starting out, but you'll probably want to switch to the highest limits by the end of the first battery (It's that easy to fly, even for beginners).Stability - This is where this baby shines!! It is ROCK SOLID in the air. I've had it up to it's 120m altitude limit (governed by the firmware) in moderate wind, and the only way you'd notice that it's windy is with a good gust. The GPS super stable and when you let go of the control sticks in video mode, you'd swear you were taking still shots.I can't even begin to say enough good stuff about this little drone. Don't let the price and the size of it fool you. It's well constructed, rock-solid stable in the air, easy to fly, has long runtimes, and a fantastic tilting camera. Sure, you can pay $1800+ for a Mavic Pro 2 or a Phantom, but unless you're a professional drone videographer, you're not going to see a remarkable difference enough to shell out that kind of dough. On the other end of the spectrum, I don't recommend getting a cheaper drone first. Which is what I did. Even though this drone has more features and is more expensive than starter drones, the fact that it's so easy to fly will make you wish that you had gotten it first.

After almost a month of piloting this machine, here is my say on this:
The design and folding design of this is very similar to the more widely known expensive brand DJI.
The remote controller can hold a phone for display however, the arms look like it can break from blowing on it and unfortunately my S22 ultra is too big and won't fit on it.
Extra propellers and guards are included, I guess that's kinda nice after seeing what the replacement for them costs.
Carry case is nice also.
The camera on the front can only be adjusted manually by hand and as for the battery life, they advertise over 40 minutes of airtime with both batteries, which is 20 min per battery.
This is somewhat exaggerated like all other drones as it's a little less than that and it might impact the battery life over time from charge after charge.
It does those neat flip tricks but there's only like 2 options, still neat.
The range on this was advertised 80-120m but my phone display started lagging at about 28m away.
It's not bad for a compact folding drone but I would definitely update the advertised data on the battery life and range as it's not true.
----Update---- March 26 2023
Battery issues started recently.
Always flown in a rain free environment and never been in any collision. I've charged the batteries multiple times by now and I always time how long they charge and unplug after the recommended charge time. (Manual states 80min-100min so I charge)
It now lasts less than 10min for both of the batteries before the drone starts descending down.
These are lithium ion batteries so it should not be depleting in battery life this fast.
For the price point, I'm disappointed and will be returning this.
Very nice drone with impressive features but advertised data is exaggerated
