And with the included EPP hulls, you can even safely fly BeBop indoors!
This drone is a ton of fun once you get the hang of it, it took about a day with charging, setting it up and getting it ready to play. Once we finally got our license to fly it, we took it out to the Arlington airport. It took a few times to get it up in the air, you control it with your phone with the APP with hotspot. After we couldn’t get it into the air because we tried and tried a nice guy came over and helped the husband and I with some pointers and answers we finally got it into the air. We haven’t tried the camera out yet, but when we turned it on, and looked through it around the house it is very nice quality from what we saw. Its our first drone and we love it a lot. If you’re looking for a nice simple easy to fly drone this is a must. It’s actually on sale right now for $394 from $499. They do have one up from this one that comes with a screen handle remote for bigger screen handling. If you have a loved one looking for a nice drone thats simple to use to train on, this is the one!
