I decided to impress my family with this small flying camera during my sister’s beach wedding last year. She shoots incredible images from bird’s eye view. I love this. Kellen W.

As a drone enthusiast, I bought this with little expectations but by then it was the only one missing from my collection. Many months later, I am so glad I did as she flies so smoothly and shoots awesome photos of my children playing in the backyard. Joe C.

My relationship with this drone is one of hate and love. It takes such awesome outdoor photos but does such a horrible job indoors. I wish it could shoot as nice photos indoors. Mohammed A.

Good for a calm day, until the wind comes and knocks it aside. This drone is very light which is good for portability but is also bad for windy days. But then, many drones will not fly well in the wind. Priscilla R.

I bought this drone for my teenage daughter as a birthday gift to shoot her photos. She is now the envy of every girl and boy in the neighborhood. She loves this drone so much. Becky K.
