This toy drone includes automatic hover, tracking, gesture, and waypoint capability. Find it here and use $25 off coupon HY25FY
Pros
- Optical flow hover tracking that works reasonably well. It may drift a little in wind on takeoff, but it eventually activates for steady hover.
- 720p front camera with swivel lens. Belly optical flow camera can also be used for videos and pictures.
- Includes selfie gesture photo taking capability.
- Also has altitude hold, headless mode, one key return, and waypoint capability.
- Good flight time of close to 10 minutes from its 3.7v 1100mah battery.
- Comes with a dedicated controller for those who prefer joystick control.
- The drone can also be flown using its HFun app available on Google Play here . Advanced flight mode features can be activated, and FPV video can be viewed realtime with this app.
Cons
- Its HFun app needs work. The advanced features of follow me and waypoint do work, but only intermittently and are not very reliable.
- Belly optical flow camera is not very good for photos and videos, and is easily washed out in sunlight.
- Proprietary battery.
