Pros
- Folding drone for easy portability.
- 1806 brushless motors.
- Accurate GPS/GLONASS positioning. Includes automatic return to home and landing on command, loss of signal, and low voltage.
- 1080p HD camera that records directly to micro SD card. Camera lens can be remotely swiveled up or down.
- Flight control, FPV video, and camera parameters are controlled through your phone using the SJ GPS Pro app available on Play here and iTunes here .
- Very long flight time per battery charge. I easily got over 21 minutes on its first flight. Also available for purchase with 1, 2, or 3 batteries.
Cons
- Uses 802.11ac WiFi. Not every phone has this WiFi. Before purchasing this drone, it is very important to first verify that your phone is indeed capable of using 802.11ac WiFi.
- Does not have image stabilization or stabilized gimbal.
- Advertised 400 to 500 meter FPV range is VERY unlikely. I got maximum FPV range of about 200 meters in the open desert with very little WiFi interference.
- Somewhat heavy at 490 grams with battery.
- Some of the Android app's advanced features were buggy in their use. And some features such as waypoints and gesture control just did not seem to work.
