It is durrable
My first time with fpv so this little drone took a really bad beating and still flew on I can't tell you how many times it slammed between the ceiling and cement floor,crashing into you name it I hit ita d then out side full speed into sidewalk many times.i did finally make it not work but boy did it take a lot. I have decided to learn on simulator. The few times I did have control it flew good fast ,responsive and I have been flying the little helicopters and DJI drones for while,so I do know a little about flying,but Manual FPV is a different animal. The only con I have is you can't use glasses with the goggles o yeah I'm an older fella I would but another with no problem but I got pavo 20 pro but that's why I decided to go simulator so I don't do the same to this one
Fast shipping, good packaging and great support
Pros: overall this kit is a great first step into fpv. The goggles are decent, would definitely recommend upgrading the antenna on the drone and goggles for more distance
The controller is comfortable, and easy to use.
The drone is good. Lots of control and power. Frame is very durable
Cons: The camera/vtx module is prone to overheating and burning out. This is because it is enclosed in the frame, and doesn't get good airflow unless the drone is moving decently fast. This happened to me on day 1.
The DVR on the goggles did not work for me
Props seem more likely to fall off than models like the Air series ( I have an air75 as well) buying extra props is good practice at least 2 extra sets.
This being said, betaflight customer service is great. After a couple short emails and proof of the problems they sent me a new camera and goggle free of charge.
This is an interesting kit for my sons to learn drone fpv flying! We have thoroughly enjoyed using it
