Drone: Super durable, I have been learning inside my house and have crashed it a lot and there is not a scratch on it. I was concerned that I would buy it and that it would break after a few crashes leaving me with useless goggles and controller. The fact that I can crash it over and over and actually learn on it is huge for me.
Controller: Is great for a me, a first time buyer, I quickly got the hang of arming it and switching to hold when I crashed. I started with the switch on the right in easy mode and soon found I had better control switching to medium difficulty (middle setting on the right switch).
Goggles: They are fine, again I am a first time buyer so I have nothing to compare them to. The three straps (two sides and top) are adjustable. They are pretty comfortable.
Battery: Fine, I get just over 4 minutes on a charge. I bought 2 additional batteries and I am glad I did since one is not enough.
Charger: Works fine, no issues. One side is configure to charge at 0.2amps and one side is configured to charge at 0.6amps. There are little switches to change the charging rate. I don't know why you would charge at 0.2amps, i always charge at 0.6amps.
Overall: The image is not super crisp, but good enough. If I fly into another room then the I start to loose the image, but not too badly. I tried flying outside, but because there is nothing to confine me I start to loose the drone (I let it get too far away), so I switched to learning indoors. Flying indoors is forcing me to learn to control it (between the floor and ceiling and away from the walls and obstacles). Since I keep crashing and it is fine, this is preferable to me. I found that flying outdoors during the daytime is difficult, the camera struggles to display the range of light so the ground goes very dark and I can't figure out where I am. The beeping of the drone is super helpful if you are not sure where you crashed, I have used the beeping to find it several times. It would be nice if the camera and antenna could be upgraded to provide a better picture and less interference
But I have a solution!
Search for and buy a "micro lollipop antenna" on amazon ($20 2 pack), they only weigh like 3 grams. Cut the UFL connector off and solder the new antenna on, just like how the old one was and bring it out the back. If you don't know how you can probably google how to strip and solder coaxial cable. Also, make sure you are using an RHCP antenna on your video receiver.
Additionally, If you have access to a 3d printer you can get a mount too! Just search for "EMAX Tinyhawk Freestyle Lollipop VTX antenna" on Thingiverse. You can even get one with an XT30 port if you have XT30 batteries.
Also, I got better transmitter signal strength moving the receiver antenna out the back while I had the top plate off for the new antenna install.
So, for the fact that this is really a $120 drone with about a half-hour of labor I give it 4/5 stars. If it came with a better antenna and/or VTX it would be a 5-star product and I would probably buy another one. Except for that, everything else is great, I even bounced it off concrete a bunch of times before I broke the bottom plate, which is only $9 for a new one. I am going to even buy the indoor version as I just broke my whoop from the blue brand due to the fact that their propellers are so tight on the motors the shaft gets bent when you replace them. The EMAX quality is just better. I suspect I will have to do the same mod for that one too, but I have an extra antenna from the 2 pack.
Pros: Batteries charge in 15-20mins or less = quickly get to flying!.. Handles like a 5"-6" racing/freestyle quadcopter!! Batteries last fairly long depending on flying style! Camera quality is fantastic!! Signal goes a good distance! VERY tough design as well!!! My controller malfunctioned for a second and the drone was about to take off, I hit the failsafe at about 25' in the air and the drone sadly dropped.. I thought for sure something would have broken, but NOTHING was wrong!! Flipped it over and kept flying! Very silent flying as well so it doesn't draw too much attention! And lastly, it's actually VERY quick for a tiny little drone!!
Cons: The little screws and bolts that hold the flight controller are not very sturdy (granted when crashing things break), I would recommend just buying some extra parts just in case. After crashing once or twice the first time I flew this, one of the props kept coming off but now seems to have stopped giving me that problem. And that's it. Period. Seriously!
Overall: You want to fly? BUY THIS!!! Don't know how to fly? Buy The Drone Racing League Simulator, practice virtually, and watch it translate to real flying! You WILL have a blast with this drone with little to no worry of repairing if/when you crash!!
ABSOLUTELY GREAT JOB EMAX!!!!!
