Appearance
Motors

Test Drive
In the test showed excellent stability and positioning accuracy, both outdoors using GPS / Glonass, and and indoors using optical and ultrasonic sensors. The control is predictable and accurate. All functions and modes work flawlessly, no comments were found.
The quality of the shooting generally corresponds to the one stated in the manufacturer's specification, there were no special remarks at the time of the test. The disadvantages include the weakly noticeable work of 3-axis electronic image stabilization, if the drone were not so stable in flight, then the entire potential of the camera would be nullified. The flight time also corresponds to the declared 10 minutes, or to be precise from 7-10 minutes, depending on the piloting style.
Accessories

All accessories have feedback and are controlled from a gadget paired with the drone. The price range of each varies from $ 20-50.
