You get what you pay for.

That's actually pretty cool for under $60

I see the Mavic "clone" bar has been set nice and low!

 

[Robin]

cheap and cheerful


I guess it could be a bit of fun, especially doing the flips

With that design and price, that can only help Mavic sales.

Nice drone to train on......will be so unstable that if you can fly this you can fly anything......if you don't destroy it first.

 

[Dw911]

Maybe you even have to wait months and months for it to arrive after you order it ?

That would certainly give it a real authentic Mavic feel ;-)

Still, I bet it doesn't have all the gimbal issues the real Mavic has. ha.

 

[Macmad]

Does it also flyaway

 

[TheLightSpeed!]

Imitation? It does flips! I freak when my Mavic does that! This one does that on purpose!

I find it funny what some people consider to be unstable . I have one of these to FPV through the house with and it is very stable . Most of these little cheap quads are great .

I Agree...indoors they are great....but add a bit of wind and bye bye!

I've flown in 2-3 mph breezes before with no trouble and the Mavic clone is a good bit bigger than the tiny whoop . I think you're getting unstable and no -GPS confused . If you learn to fly and not depend on GPS then most any multi-rotor today is quite stable .

At 118 grams you can fly it anywhere without notifying airfields too - toy class weight the FAA wants no part of!

Pretty cool! For kids.....

Not true. Old wives tale. Sometimes you get more, and sometimes you get less.

 

[waverider969]

wow , I canactually fly this whenTrump is in town and pretend its my Mavic all weekend. Joy.

what you can make real mavic do flips?? i better re-read my manual.

 

[MrMavic]

That's like buying a Mercedes and taking it out hill climbing. LOL
