This new GPS drone includes true 4K, a three axis gimbal, and electronic image stabilization for very smooth video. Find it here https://bit.ly/3scgFUp

Pros:
- Folding drone with carrying case for maximum portability.
- 1506 2200 KV brushless motors for durability.
- 7.7V 2950mah LiPo battery provides up to 25 minutes of flight time (I got 24 minutes).
- GPS provides rapid/accurate accurate satellite lockon. Drone will automatically return and land where it took off from on command, or loss of signal.
- Optical flow for stable hover flight without GPS.
- 3 axis stabilized camera gimbal. Gimbal can be calibrated through the drone's app.
- True 4K camera. Available video resolutions include 4K video at 3840 x 2160 pixels at 30 fps, or 1080p at 60 fps. Still photos are frame grabs of the video.
- Camera controls available through the app include, brightness / saturation / special effects / ISO/ / white balance.
- High resolution video and photos are recorded to an onboard TF card. Card slot is available for up to 128GB cards. Video and photos are also recorded to your phone, but at lower 720p resolution.
- Controller includes a built-in signal amplifier/relay that provides up to 3 Km control and FPV range. But remember that most countries do not allow you to fly at such ranges. In reality, this feature is meant to provide for strong control and FPV signals in areas of high clutter or interference.
- "X-Drone" app provides FPV views, camera options control, and advanced flight control modes of follow me, orbit position, waypoints, and headless mode

Cons:
- The drone weighs 391 grams with included battery, and will require registration in most countries.
- The controller uses 802.11ac WiFi to connect to your phone. Not everyone has this type of WiFi on their phone. Before purchasing, it's important to first verify that your phone is indeed capable of using 802.11ac WiFi, or you may be very disappointed.
- The drone has a pretty wide low battery geofence distance of 300 meters horizontal. However, this drone does not return to home on low battery. Instead it lands wherever it is located at battery depletion. This could result in drone loss if the drone operator does not heed the low battery warning, and continues flying over risky areas.
