Vivitar DRC444 Wi-Fi Camera Drone

Doesnt worth it

there is an old saying you get what you paid for. today is the second day of flying the drone and honestly i wouldnt recommend it to anyone else. one of the rotors is already broken; right, is my fault as it crashed. the facts ... * is very weightless, which is not good if you plan to fly outside. the wind can easily knockout the aircraft. * the aircrafts body is made of very cheap and thin layer of PVC plastic. in fact, you can punch a hole wit... Show Moreh a needle. * the remote controllers antenna is fake! you can literally pullout one of the antenna and you wont see any wiring. * the size of the aircraft is too outrageous compared to the internal components. you dont have to dismantle anything to prove it. you can look inside the aircraft using a flashlight and placing the bulb close to the body. * the rotors are brushed dc motors. in the long term, rotor will likely fail as the friction generate waste in the brush. * controlling the aircraft is difficult as it dont have any vision system. you have to rely on your instincts. sometimes the aircraft respond erratically to controller input. you have to manually adjust the stick so the aircraft stay fixed in one place. * i dont know if this is good or bad, the camera come as an individual unit. meaning, it is detachable from the aircrafts body. the camera have the antenna wire exposed, not even protected. the shell is made of the same material as the aircraft. and because of it simple design, the camera doesnt have an operational gimbal. it looks like the camera is a 3-axis but it isnt. you can move the camera only in one axis but is done manually. that is, you cant control it with the remote or apps. in overall... even if you plan to buy a drone as a recreational toy, it doesnt worth it if you want it to be durable. an inexperienced pilot may easily crash the aircraft due to the lack of vision system and others features that ultimately help pilot to conserve the aircraft.Show Less
