APP CRASHED AND DRONE FLEW OUT OF MY SIGHT WHEN I LAUNCHED IT
1 of 1 found this helpful I can only tell you of my experience using the drone ONLY WITH MY CELL PHONE as a controller. The first time I used the drone as soon as I clicked on the launch button THE APP CRASHED ON THE PHONE WHILE THE DRONE WAS FLYING AWAY (UNCONTROLLED). So if you're using a cell phone or tablet as a controller when you click on the launch button your drone may just fly away.
So I clicked launch and the app crashed but the dronne was rising and had actually few over my house and out of sight, while I looked with my mouth, and eyes wide open. I'm a tech nerd so it took me a second to think of what to do. I went to the home screen and reopened the app.
LUCKILY the drone was still within range and I clicked the COME HOME button and it did.
I was also lucky that the battery didn't die during that instance as the battery life is only about 5 minutes. I clocked both battery times and they last EXACTLY 5 minutes.
While using the actually remote it's easier to control the drone. (MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE UNIT WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL) I didn't and had to order it seperately.
Still only 5 minute battery life.
The unit reponds quickly with sport mode set in settings. it's very fast can travel about 30 mph.
If the battery life was longer it would be a nice drone. As it stands it's good for a quick flight. Battery charging takes about 1.5 hours. So that's 3 hours for both batteries for 10 minutes of flight time.
I find myself never using this drone or letting my children play with it and using my Typhone 4K.
