" ... Great drone for its price range! ... "
" ... Worth the buy in my opinion. ... "
" ... Is the right size and price wise was affordable. ... "
" ... The X5C and even the X5A are great quads and can be had for a fraction of the price. ... "
" ... But other than that, this is a steal for its price! ... "
" ... The video quality is not espetacular, but it's worth it for the price. ... "
" ... When products on the market are similar and price is similar, I think what really differentiates the company as a whole would be it's worker and it's commitment to help a customer until the issue has been fully resolved. ... "
" ... Definitely worth every penny. ... "
