" ... The things I was look were easy to fly durable and must have a great camera. ... "
" ... The HS100 2K is nice in that it is a larger size and can compensate for larger breezes. ... "
" ... What's really cool which I never saw advertised was the little rubber bushings that the camera mount has- they act almost as suspension for the camera unit and appears to help resist damage if you hit the camera on anything. ... There are a few 3rd party sellers for cases this size. ... "
" ... Obvious sign of use and abuse including beat up propellers and scratches. ... "
" ... Make sure landings are very easy, cause most drones at this level are easily broken. ... "
" ... It looks and feels well made, and sturdy. ... "
" ... It has a very “sturdy” feel and my neighbor has a drone he paid like $700 for and always compliments how mine feels. ... "
" ... Overall I think this is punching way above its weight in terms of value. ... "

" ... Just got the drone and charged the battery per instructions. ... Battery will just blink blue and will not hold a charge. ... "
" ... The 3500 mAh batteries that came with my drone in 2020 bulge out on the sides, and are too tight to remove with bare hands. ... Seems like a poor design or some communication problem with the battery supplier. ... After a year one of my 3500 mAh batteries no longer holds a charge, so I bought two 2500 mAh batteries (only thing I could find) that fit perfectly and are easy to pull out and replace with a fresh battery. ... I tried for a year to figure out why I couldn't remove the battery with my bare hands. ... "
" ... She came in upset and put it on the charger. ... "
" ... Can’t review it properly because the battery won’t work right out of the box. ... "
" ... So today January 28 2021 I decided to use it and when the battery go low i decided to use the return to home key, and it did not bring the drone home. ... "
" ... The only thing I dislike about this product is the short battery life. ... "
" ... Battery doesn't stay that long and would recommend to get a second one. ... "
" ... Second, the battery got stuck inside the drone and would not come out. ... "

" ... The remote control was very portable and held my phone along with some other nice features. ... "
" ... So far, the controls are exactly like my previous model and the almost 90 degree remote camera adjusting is exactly what I need. ... The camera quality isn't spectacular, but for the price and its ability to change the angle from the remote , I'd give it 5 stars. ... "
" ... The camera was very good as well only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is the remote needs to be able to hold bigger phones as my phone won't fit in with the case on. ... "
" ... Having 1 problem getting camera to pan up and down from remote but the resolution is great! ... "
" ... The unit also has an advanced user mode for those familiar with remote control equipment. ... "
