Pros
- D1806 2300KV brushless motors quadcopter with GPS.
- GPS position hold, altitude hold, automatic takeoff, landing, headless mode.
- 1080p HD camera records to microSD card on camera, and on your phone via 5G WiFi.
- 1080p digital FPV video viewed and recorded to you phone via its camera and monitor.
- Flight parameters (altitude, distance, battery power, satellite reception) telemetry are all displayed on the LCD of the controller.
- FPV video is viewed via the Eachine Fly app available on Google Play here and iTunes here
- Includes an automatic geofence setting for newer fliers of 300 meters range and 100 meters height restriction. Quadcopter will automatically return to home if these paramaters are exceeded in flight. Geofence can be easily turned off if not desired.
- Returns to home when selected, when exceeding the geofence, and automatically when flown out of range, or on low battery.
- 7.4V 2000mah battery gave over 10 minutes flight time. Battery is charged via micro USB charging cable (no special charger required).
Cons
- Requires 802.11ac 5G WiFi to receive FPV. 5G WiFi eliminates interference with drone controller. Advertised listing does not mention this very important item. Not everyone has a phone with this capability. Verify first that your phone is 802.11ac WiFi capable before purchasing.
- The GPS position hold on mine wandered greatly. However return to home and landing was reasonably accurate and dependable.
- Advertised with "Double GPS". Not sure that this statement is true?
