Pros
- Large drone that folds down to a very compact shape. Its shipping package is also very compact, making international shipment of this large drone easy and inexpensive. You might want to hang onto its package as a travel container for the drone.
- 1080p HD camera records directly to an onboard microSD card to avoid recording WiFi lag and frame dropping.
- GPS provides stabilized position hold, circle position, and return to home and landing capability.
- Additional features available through LW-FPV app include follow me, circle me, waypoints, FPV video, and telemetry information. App is available here on Google Play and here and on iTunes here
- 7.4V 1200mah battery provides about 10 minutes flight time.
Cons
- Uses 802.11 fifth generation (5G) WiFi. Not all phones or tablets have this capability. Before purchasing, it is very important to first verify that your phone is indeed 802.11ac capable.
- 1020 brushed motors. They will eventually need to be replaced. The motors are easily accessible, but will require soldering or splicing to replace (not plug in).
- Propellers are very low, and easily obstructed by ground objects, including grass. It's probanly a good idea to make it a habit of using the emergency stop immediately after a landing.
- Proprietary battery case.
