Great quality drone for beginners.

This is my first video drone. I bought this to document my house build and I have only flown it twice but so far I have been impressed.
Battery life: This model only comes with one battery and I have gotten about 15 mins of flight time each time. With an extra battery it would be much easier to have a productive outing.
Ease of use: The instructions were easy to follow and the WiFi connection used to pair your phone to the drone and controller has been reliable both in the country and in the city near other networks. The drone is very stable compared to other smaller toy drones I have used. The unit is larger and heavier than a toy drone and as a result is much more stable in the wind. There are beginner settings that allow you to limit the altitude and distance which are helpful while learning to fly. Once I was comfortable I turned off the limits and was able to fly much farther without any loss of control or interruption of the signal. The gps/compass setting must be turned on to keep the drone stable while in flight. This mode requires a quick compass calibration before each use which is not an issue once you figure it out. My experience without this mode in was that the drone would fly in a pendulum path without much ability to control it without landing. With the gos/compass mode on the drone is very easy to fly and precise flight adjustments can be made easily.
Camera: The camera is exactly what I expected for a drone at this price point. Obviously not the best camera on the market but it is more than adequate for my purposes at this point. The live feed is great and there is only about 1 second of lag so it can be used to fly the drone comfortably at long distances and slower speeds.
Phone app: So far phone app has been stable and easy to use.
