    Hi Marcus the reason it didn’t move farther might be because by default it limits the distance. It can be increased in the settings.

    Hey Marcus. First, I truly enjoy your videos. I've learned a lot by watching them. Second, I wish you'd give this drone another chance. I just got into drone flying and a few months ago and purchased this one to see what it was all about. For the price and the accessories you get, I don't think you can beat it. I know, it's a negative when you buy one and it has issues out of the box. I can say, I purchased it, charged everything up and hit the skies, no issues at all. I am using an Android phone with mine. I was hesitant when I saw how few extra propellers it came with but contacted TSRC at the US email address that's on the front of the manual and was sent 10 completed propeller sets. The only shortfall I've come across is the 2 axis gimbal so no video stabilization. Again, give it another shot please. I didn't want to make a big investment to try my hand a drone flying and found this bird to be a great break-in bird to get my feet wet with. I flew it for a couple months and have now moved on to a DJI Mini 4K Fly More and have watched your great videos on that one also and have learned a lot from them

    First off he jammed the mem card into slot it has a spring in it 2 he didn’t calibrate the drone didn’t turn airplane mode on phone didn’t read any directions. I have zero problem taking 4k video the drone flys very good getting 25 minutes of flight per battery. He didn’t charge the battery takes 3 hrs for a full charge. I fly in Montana had a small learning curve with the software can auto land any place I take off and land on a table ! Step by step instructions are fine the auto return work very well I get 14 satellites every time I fly it.

    I couldn't hardly bear to watch that unstabilized video. Being new to the drone hobby I didn't have to go through all the growing pains with the progression of stabilized cameras. I guess I am spoiled to good stable video from my dji mini4pro drone. Thank you for "taking one for the team" and trying to find something good to say about this one. I hope you got your SD card back from the belly of the beast.

    Hi Marcus. I know why you were having do much flight control problems. At 13:20 while you were in the menu, you set the fight distance to unlimited, but did not press the save button, so it reverted back to a maximum distance of 30M. You were flying with a 30m geofence. Maybe give the drone 1 more shot after correcting that. and after you get your sd card out! I got to say, after flying dji's, that sure is jumpy video.

    Interference from the cell tower is gonna mess the drone up. Dont fly it near cell towers or any other power antennae. The camera does have nice color and detail and it probably flies fine away from cell towers. You cant put that on the drone company. They all say "Dont fly near anything Big thats made of metal especially chain link fences, power lines and big antennae. Usually these things will make any drone, no matter the manufacturer, fly out of control and crash or fly away. So I think your lucky. This will happen with a DJI drone and also the cheapest $20 drone. STAY AWAY FROM BIG METAL THINGS!!!!

I’ve re read the FCC info for the hearing this week and it might not be as bad as it could be, at least that’s what I’m thinking at this point. Clearly it can go in the tank, but the ruling might pertain only to new DJI drones imported after the date they pick. If that’s the case, that’s not too bad of a situation. One issue though could come if you have to send your drone in for a repair and when sent back it doesn’t work properly with the current frequency the FCC is using at the time. I have read there’s plenty of work arounds with the frequency’s though as well. Time will tell soon as it will all unfold in a few days, have a good one Marcus!!
