For a toy grade drone, this one certainly wasn't the worst. Yeah, we can be nitpicky, but this drone isn't aimed at the likes of us, it's aimed at those just getting started. Great video as usual, Marcus 👍

BEWARE IF YOU LIVE IN THE US. I just bought this drone after watching a lot of these videos, and I was so excited. I got it and I contacted the company to find out if it was going to be remote id compliant like it has to be since it's over 249g this September (20203)... yep, NO, oh, but you can get a $300 module to add to it to make it compliant. Gee thanks, the combo of price drone and the extra RId module is equal to a mini3 pro. :( I am so disappointed. My fault for not asking first. I thought companies were told they had to comply this year with models being sold after 2022. Big mistake.
