Cons
- Requires 802.11ac 5G WiFi to use app. Not everyone has a phone with this capability. Verify first that your phone is 802.11ac WiFi capable before purchasing.
- As of 12/15/2017, the Google Play version of the JJRC app has not yet been updated for this drone. Instead download the updated Android version of this app from its secondary China app site here . The app is based on the JJRC toy WiFi FPV app, and only presents FPV video and recording status (no telemetry info is dispolayed via the app).
- The GPS can take minutes to lock on. The GPS position hold can wander greatly.
- Toilet bowl effect (TBE) wobble increased as the flight progresses. Compass calibration's to correct can also take a long time to complete.
- Could not switch it back to GPS mode in flight after flying in altitude hold mode. Could be disastrous for beginner pilots.
