But this thing, lets just say that they have improved over time. A controller with 2 joysticks. The left one moves you up and down, and also rotates it left and right. The right joystick, moves you forward and backwards, left and right. And if worried or confused, take hands off of joystick and it will hover on a dime!!
Runs in different modes, where the slow "cinemode" ran me about 21mph. Then the sport mode, sucker went 30mph, and still just as easy to control.
So been in a big ark testing since. It's weird as you can barely hear this thing. And if you go straight up 120 feet, you can't see it. Then fly at 300 around the park and its easy to fly with your phone, but you realize much much more when you watch the videos afterwards.
This one, at the park again, mostly at like 150, then when you see it smoothly rise much higher and gently come back, then hover over me, then come straight down. It's got RTH, which is "return to home" and it will basically come back to you and land quite close to where it took off from!
All ready on the right? All ready on the left? All ready on the firing line. Shooters, you may commence firing when your drone target appears
