Too good to be true?

Is this the drone deal of the year?

No, bought one and straight into rubbish bin, cheers Len

It's a junk eachines e58 drone that I picked up for fun for the kids from banggood for ~$40 with 3 batteries. They each took over an hour to charge for less than 10 minutes of flight time. Not that it mattered because after less than 5 minutes while adjusting the trim it took off like a bat out of hell never to be seen again. I launched my Mavic Mini to try and find it but quickly realized I was endangering a $400 quality reliable drone to find one a tenth the price that couldn't be controlled or even hover in place. It goes by so many different names but usually if you look closely you'll still see either the manual or drone will still have the E58 logo somewhere. I ended up buying another MM for my kids to fly. Then upgraded to a Mini2 for myself and handed down the original Mini and STILL feel like the added cost( total of $1400 total between the 3 drones) was a better value. 3 good drones flying for over 2 years almost daily vs estimated cost of buying a new eachine every other week( roughly $2000) due to attrition.

It flies well enough, for $35, and has that cool Mavic-like frame.

Again emphasis on $35.

Ironically, being an ATTI mode drone, takes someone with experience and skill to fly it decently.

That ad is full of outright lies, however

This reminds me of those x-ray glasses advertised in the back of comic books when I was a young boy....lol

I like that John Doe was the first one to comment on it. He's reliable!

Yes am amazing device and only $1.00! But, notice the disclaimer "Optical Illusion." The wording: "you seem to be able to look through" which connotes illusion and then the word "see" is itself put in quotes. Someone did a brilliant job crafting this sales pitch to be 100% accurate yet still misleading to a youth with $1.00.
