Great flying drone

This is one sharp looking drone. Well presented and feels substantial. Comes with nice case. I got a flight time of over 24 minutes which is great. GPS and optical sensors make this drone a very stable flyer that holds its position well. All of the extra functions, like follow me, preset path flight, orbit, return home work well. It is a very quick and responsive flier. Especially in 2nd speed it really moves! Video is crisp and clear and photo are very sharp. The ability to adjust camera up or down from remote is nice. The video is reasonably smooth for a non-stabilized camera. That is my biggest issue with this drone is that the only stabilization is the "shock absorption" dampering system built in. There is no gimbal or EIS. The battery setup is also a bit of a pain but still ok.
Overall, this is a very great flying drone and a pretty decent photo drone. Video is clear but not as smooth as I'd like, but maybe I'm being too picky.

Does everything it says it will do...

Not exactly my first drone if you consider all the $10-$20 mini drones you get around Christmas time, but this drone is my first "real" one. Its very intuitive and makes flying approachable. I was surprised at what I was doing right out of the box. It has plenty of power, camera works and looks great. All the features work great! I love it. Came in a very very nice carrying case. It says you can get another battery for free if you write a review which is honestly why I'm writing this, and good thing because it seems that spare batteries don't exist for HS720, hopefully soon??? Over all very happy...

It became kinda useless after a few minutes of flight

The controls tested fine at first but after a few minutes, when I moved the drone higher and away from me a few feet the rotational stick quit working, I couldn’t turn the drone!

Does not go nearly as far as its supposed to and video cuts out even before that

Disappointment

Had problems controlling it due to app problems. And return home feature did not work.

I have spend $750 on Amazon now and just have a bunch of spare parts.

I have now bought three of these on Amazon. The first two crashes were my fault. Yesterday the drone took off an sped away as fast as it can go. I kept hitting "return home" and nothing. Crashed into a neighbor's house. All three crashes (some just into tree branches). I liked them, but now have nothing but spare parts. Do I buy one last drone?I want to, but..............
