I've had this Hover Cam for about 3 months. Had a chance to do some trial test runs. If the Wi-Fi isn't good, the camera won't work as it needs WiFi to function. The camera quality and the ability to take pictures off a gesture you make was a really high end feature which I liked! Sometimes, it has a mind of it's own though, it'll work some times and sometimes it would fly off when it can't "detect" it's owner. Kind of like a child. You have to know how to position yourself so it has it's camera on you at all times or else it will go berserk and there's no way to bring it back unless it crashes into something. For $330, I expected something a lot more high end and able to really focus. But overall, it's not a bad starter camera if you want the ability to take selfies without taking the selfie yourself!

Excellent. No regrets at all. Have flown all sort of drones and this pup is great. After flying it for for a while, with no real complaints, I was prompted to get an ap update and to recalibrate, now it is even smoother and much better in low light. VERY Safe! A huge point! The props are completely covered so even IF someone hassles you about using it just indicate that the only damaged you will have is by bumping into something. Battery time as advertised (for once). Now am learning to use the manual settings , using the flash for example with still photos.. I have even flown it in some fairly strong wind with commendable results. The follow feature is actually very stable as well. Its light weight makes it okay in places heavier machines are not allowed. Just wish it had a bit more range. It took it up to its max. elevation, lost contact, It just stayed there. I thought I would have to wait for the battery to run down. Then I stood on my tip toes, and held the controller above my head, that did the trick , got at back, lesson learned. Good, solid machine.

You will be temped to start with owners mode right out of the box.
I did this at home in the evening with average indoor lighting, big mistake.
First, owner mode sucks, if you don't set it up precisely it won't work. I launched expecting it to follow me but it went wild, blew all paper and small items off the table and flew straight towards my flatscreen TV! My heart skipped a couple of beats and luckily it collided with the wall inches away. No damage to the drone. My advice is, experiment with it outside or if in-doors do it during the day with all shades up.

I would advice to master the manual controls first and practice with the first couple of battery charges. Use the classic mode if you're all thumbs like me. Practice moving the drone up and down and tilt the camera down, do not look at the drone but at your screen otherwise it'll be an exercise in frustration. Take a few pictures manually, select the 3 sec. delay and look up. Otherwise the pics will be of you looking down at your phone.
I you're having a hard time to get the drone in the right position move yourself and position in front of the camera then take the picture.

Well, this is my first experiences playing with this drone. It is not as easy to fly as advertised. Practice at home indoors or out before taking it on vacation and loosing it at the edge of a cliff or destroying your best friends large screen TV.

I paid for a brand new Hover Camera yet found footage of another customer and his daughter flying the drone stored on the device. Not so brand new after all!

I also paid $500 for this product yet days after the price dropped to $350.

Why was I not reimbursed the difference, and why does Amazon allow sellers to send customers refurbished products after advertising them as brand new?

As for the drone itself-

Flys great. Steady. Hovers perfectly. Outstanding features. However, facial recognition is not precise. So if you are flying within a crowd, expect the drone to be confused during Owner Mode. Also, be careful flying near sunset. It will malfunction and possibly crash. Sunset was approaching and my drone lost control and rammed into a neighbor's second story condo then fell onto their car! There was no property damage; just cosmetic damage to the drone. Compared to the other drones on the market, this is hands down the safest one out there. Just be careful flying in dimly lit areas under windy conditions and you'll be fine. I flew this when it was semi-windy and it just dropped from the sky (granted the device did give me a warning about the conditions). Now each time I hover above 30 feet I feel nervous it'll drop out of the sky.

Overall, fun drone with impressive hover control and quality 4k camera capability. However, something needs to be done about this merchant and their unprofessional, underhanded treatment of customers.

Handy Foldable Harmless "SMART"

It cant recognize me when I change my glasses, flight time is way shorter than described.

Hard to control with only phone interface, its mostly for jogging or longboarding anyway.
